Chapter 327: Xiao Bei is in trouble: Material supplier makes things difficult for him
Xiao Bei hummed a little tune, took Bei Li's hand, and swaggered into the shop of the fairy treasure material supplier.
This shop is huge, and its warehouse is filled with all kinds of rare materials, shining with colorful light, which makes Xiao Bei's eyes shine.
"Wow, I'm going to get rich now!" He rubbed his hands, wishing he could put all the materials into his pocket immediately.
The material supplier was a fat man with a big head and big ears and a face full of smiles. When he saw Xiao Bei coming in, he immediately came forward to greet him, his tone a little too enthusiastic: "Hey, isn't this the famous fellow Xiao Bei? What brings you here?"
Xiao Bei went straight to the point: "I want to buy some materials for refining fairy treasures." As he said that, he handed over the list of required materials.
The material supplier took the list, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of cunning.
"My friend Xiao Bei, the materials you want are all rare treasures. As for the price..." He deliberately prolonged his voice.
"Just tell me how much fairy stones you want." Xiao Bei said in a rich and generous manner, looking like he had no shortage of money.
The material supplier held up five fingers and said with a smile, "Not much, not much, just 500,000 high-grade immortal stones."
"Five hundred thousand?!" Xiao Bei almost jumped up. This was simply an exorbitant amount of money!
"Boss, you're being too ruthless! These materials are only worth a hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones at most!"
"Hey, Fellow Immortal Xiao Bei, you can't say that," the materials merchant said, his smile dropping and his tone turning cold. "The Immortal Realm is in turmoil right now, and material prices are skyrocketing. 500,000 is already a very favorable price." He paused, then added, "Also, I have a small additional condition."
"What conditions?" Xiao Bei felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"It's very simple. You need to help me refine a magic treasure." The material supplier said with a smile, but his tone was unquestionable.
"How can this be!" Bei Li was furious. "You are taking advantage of the situation!"
Xiao Bei took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained: "I refine the immortal treasure for the overall benefit of the immortal world, not for your personal profit!"
"Haha, so righteous," the material dealer sneered, "Then I don't care. Do you want to buy it or not? If not, please go back!"
The two were at a stalemate and the atmosphere was tense.
Xiao Bei touched his storage bag and his expression changed slightly.
When he touched it, he found that the immortal stones he brought were not enough for 500,000 high-grade immortal stones. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have fallen into an elaborate trap.
The air around seemed to become heavy, and even breathing became difficult.
"Lili, we..." Xiao Bei's voice was low, with a hint of helplessness.
Beili's face also became nervous
At this moment, Xiao Bei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered the special refining technique he had just acquired not long ago.
He acquired these skills through hard practice and originally intended to keep them as his own exclusive secrets, but now he can only use them as bargaining chips.
"Materials Supplier," Xiao Bei suddenly spoke, his tone calm and firm, "I have a special set of refining techniques that can greatly improve the success rate and quality of refining. If you are willing to sell me the materials at a reasonable price, I can share this set of techniques with you."
The material supplier was stunned, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
This is Xiao Bei's exclusive secret book. I didn't expect that he would be willing to exchange it.
The originally tense situation took a turn for the better in an instant, with greed and hesitation flashing in the eyes of the material suppliers.
"This..." The material supplier hesitated, obviously weighing the pros and cons.
Seeing this, Xiao Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but remained calm on the surface.
He continued, "I believe that our cooperation will be mutually beneficial. What do you think?"
The material supplier showed a trace of confusion on his face, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Xiao Bei stared at him intently, praying silently in his heart.
At this moment, the corners of the material supplier's mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Haha, fellow immortal Xiao Bei, you are indeed worthy of being a rising star in the world of immortal cultivation. How about this, I'll give you a preferential price, how about 300,000 high-grade immortal stones?" There was a glint of cunning in his eyes, but he was obviously moved by Xiao Bei's sincerity.
Xiao Bei was secretly happy, but he remained calm on the surface and just nodded slightly.
Beili held his hand tightly, her eyes full of admiration.
Xiao Bei felt a warm feeling in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was about to agree, but suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside, and a cultivator rushed in hurriedly...
Xiao Bei was secretly happy in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and nodded slightly: "Deal!" The material dealer laughed loudly, and the fat on his face trembled, as if he had picked up a great bargain.
He waved his hand and ordered the clerk to bring out the materials Xiao Bei needed. He also gave him some rare materials as a gift, saying it was a "little thought" for Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei was not polite and accepted all the orders. He was very happy. This was a huge profit!
Seeing this, the monks around gave Xiao Bei a thumbs up. This move was simply awesome!
"Friend Xiao Bei is truly amazing. He was able to pluck the feathers from this stingy guy!"
"That's right! This material dealer is notoriously treacherous. I didn't expect that he would fall into Xiao Bei's hands today!"
For a while, there was a constant stream of praise. Xiao Bei's vanity was greatly satisfied. He felt like he was standing at the pinnacle of life, overlooking all living beings. A feeling of "how lonely it is to be invincible" arose in his heart.
Beili happily took Xiao Bei's arm, her big watery eyes sparkling as if filled with stars: "Brother Xiao Bei, you are so great!" Her sweet voice was like the chirping of a lark, which melted Xiao Bei's heart.
Xiao Bei gently scratched her nose and said lovingly, "Of course, don't you see who your brother Xiao Bei is!" The intimate interaction between the two was the envy of others, and the air was filled with pink bubbles.
Just as Xiao Bei was about to leave with Bei Li with a full harvest, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission - 'Smart Merchant', and receiving a mysterious reward! Due to the host's outstanding performance, a special additional reward: refining ability increased by 50%!" Xiao Bei was stunned and ecstatic in his heart. This happiness came too suddenly!
Bei Li came over curiously and asked, "Brother Xiao Bei, what's wrong?" Xiao Bei smiled mysteriously and whispered in her ear, "Guess..."
Double the fun!
The refining capacity has increased by 50%. Isn't this going to take off?
He felt like he was on a roll, full of strength!
As soon as the news came out, the entire fairy world was in an uproar!
"Fuck! Xiao Bei's refining ability has improved again? Is this going to kill us?" "This is too incredible! It seems that the fairy world is going to have another weapon-refining master!" "Great God Xiao Bei, please kneel down!" Various voices of worship came one after another. Xiao Bei's image became more glorious in the fairy world. Everyone expected him to refine more powerful fairy treasures to save the people from danger!
Xiao Bei and Bei Li held hands, bathed in the admiring gazes of the crowd, and slowly walked out of the fairy treasure material supplier's shop.
However, just as they were about to step out of the store, Xiao Bei suddenly felt a cold breath wrapped around him like a poisonous snake, making him shudder.
He turned around suddenly, only to find that there was no one behind him, only a few guys busy sorting materials.
Is it an illusion?
Xiao Bei frowned, feeling a sense of unease rising in his heart. He always felt that something bad was about to happen...
"Brother Xiao Bei, what's wrong?" Bei Li noticed something was wrong with Xiao Bei and asked with concern.
Xiao Bei shook his head and said calmly, "It's okay, let's go." However, his pace unconsciously quickened, as if something was chasing him from behind.
Just as they were about to turn the corner, Xiao Bei suddenly stopped, turned around, stared at the shadow behind him with a sharp gaze, and said coldly: "Come out, I know you are hiding there!"
