Chapter 156: Chapter 155: Greedy Thoughts Arise
Translator: 549690339
Last time when he sold 110,000 jin of spirit rice, the steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion in the Flowers Immortal Pavilion had raised the price by a hundred spirit stones for him, but there was no hint of asking for a kickback.
He didn’t come after him afterward either.
Now, the steward of Spiritual Medicine Pavilion at this Flame Light Immortal Pavilion had also given him a normal price, without any hint of asking for a kickback.
Are people nowadays… all so upright?
Or is it that…
Those experiences he had at the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion and Spirit Rabbit Immortal Mansion shouldn’t have existed in the first place?
But what he didn’t know was that the steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion at the Flowers Immortal Pavilion had come after him, only to be scared off by He Song’s handling of the illegal goods.
Thus, He Song had unwittingly avoided danger.
Otherwise, he might have tasted the sensation of being pursued for the first time when he sold the spirit rice last time.
With a trace of confusion in his eyes…
He Song couldn’t quite understand.
In the end, he stopped thinking about it.
Nodding his head…
“Alright, let’s go with Brother Mi’s price,” He Song said, agreeing.
Anyway, before he left the Flame Light Immortal Pavilion, he would definitely dispose of all his belongings, change his appearance at the inn, and leave the area with the Earth Tunneling Skill.
If he still got followed after doing all that…
Then He Song would have no choice but to wait for someone to track him down in the remote valley dozens of miles away.
But he didn’t know…
What expression would be on the other party’s face when they entered the Array Skills?
Thinking about it, it should be quite interesting.
Not everyone can set up Array Skills, nor can everyone break the formation.
Ordinary loose cultivators, Immortal Pavilion disciples, or even noble family members and sect disciples, if they blindly enter the Array Skills without knowing them…
Given the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Five Phases Array…
As long as their strength doesn’t exceed He Song’s too much, they will be worn down by He Song to death.
On top of that, there is an Illusion Array laid out on the periphery, which can shield the sounds and breaths in the Five Phases Array.
No one will discover it.
In this way, the two Array Skills He Song set up before stepping into the Immortal Pavilion would be enough to help him deal with a lot of troubles.
Seeing He Song agree, Mi Cang nodded calmly.
“In that case, I’ll put the spirit rice away first and then get the spirit stones for Brother Lin. Please wait a moment, Mrs. Lin.”
After saying that, Mi Cang wanted to leave with He Song’s storage bag.
This action made He Song raise his eyebrows.
In the past…
He Song had dealt with spirit rice a few times.
But almost no one would take away his storage bag without giving out the spirit stones first.
But now…
The spirit stones haven’t been given yet, and Mi Cang wants to take away his storage bag?
In the Cultivation World…
Money is exchanged hand to hand.
And so are the goods.
This is the rule.
Is it that the Flame Light Immortal Pavilion doesn’t understand even this basic rule?
“Wait, what do you mean, Brother Mi? Do you not intend to follow the rule of exchanging money and goods hand in hand?”
With a trace of coldness in his eyes, He Song stood up and blocked Mi Cang directly.
For a moment…
The VIP lounge became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After blocking Mi Cang, several high-quality Thick Earth Amulets appeared between He Song’s fingers.
If the situation turned unfavorable, He Song would activate them to protect himself.
No one would want to make a move against a Qi refining late-stage cultivator in the Immortal Pavilion, even if he was just a loose cultivator.
He Song took out these high-quality Thick Earth Amulets as a precautionary measure.
Mi Cang, who originally wanted to leave, froze on the spot at this moment.
Glancing at the several high-quality Thick Earth Amulets between He Song’s fingers, Mi Cang’s expression changed.
Then he quickly put down the storage bag in his hand.
“No, no, no, Mrs. Lin misunderstood. The transactions in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion have always been like this. However, if the dao friend is unwilling, I can go and get the spirit stones first, and then give the money and goods hand in hand with the dao friend.”
With that, Mi Cang gestured with his hand, putting on an air of everything being perfectly justified.
If He Song hadn’t already experienced the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion himself, he might have actually believed Mi Cang’s nonsense.
However, now was not the time to tear his face apart.
He first had to sell his 110,000 jin of spirit rice.
As for the rest…
They were just trivial matters.
Seeing Mi Cang putting down the storage bag, He Song nodded and went up to pick it up.
After checking that there were no discrepancies in the spirit rice inside, He Song finally spoke up.
“In that case, Brother Mi, please go and get the spirit stones first. I’ll be waiting here for your return.”
With the storage bag in his hand, He Song sat down in the VIP room and started waiting.
As for Mi Cang…
After hearing He Song’s words, he saluted He Song and left the VIP room.
Inside the VIP room…
Once Mi Cang had left, He Song immediately opened the door and appeared outside the VIP room.
The space inside the VIP room was small, making it difficult to maneuver.
If this time Mi Cang wasn’t leaving to get the spirit stones but to call for help…
He Song would likely be trapped in the small VIP room, at the mercy of others.
Instead of living in fear, he might as well come outside the VIP room and not give Mi Cang any chance.
Trade outside and leave immediately after.
He Song wouldn’t have to worry about any threats from Mi Cang afterward.
After all…
He Song was always cautious whenever he sold spirit rice.
Going to the inn to change his appearance, burning his clothes, and then using the Earth Tunneling Skill to leave the area were just normal operations.
If he still couldn’t shake off the other party like this…
He Song had already prepared Array Skills in advance.
However, if it really came to that, He Song would have to force the other party to reveal how they tracked him down to the valley.
He Song didn’t have to wait too long.
Soon…
Mi Cang came back with the spirit stones.
Seeing He Song standing outside the VIP room, Mi Cang’s astonishment flashed across his eyes, but he didn’t care too much about it.
They exchanged money and goods hand to hand.
After the transaction was completed, He Song’s storage bag suddenly had 9,900 more spirit stones in it.
With the spirit stones in hand, He Song didn’t care about Mi Cang’s expression and left immediately.
He couldn’t stay in this place any longer.
Moreover, after selling the spirit rice, he had no other business to do here.
It would be better to find an inn, change his appearance and leave right away.
And besides, he had no intention of coming back to the Flame Light Immortal Pavilion anyway.
There was no need to pretend to be friendly with Mi Cang anymore.
Just as He Song was about to leave the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, Mi Cang revealed a smile inside the pavilion.
“But I’m still one step ahead. The Tracking Skill is extremely fast when mastered and he probably didn’t even notice.”
“In this way, I can track him at any time until he leaves the Immortal Pavilion…”
A cold light flashed in his eyes as Mi Cang turned around and quickly left the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, heading to an unknown destination.
Messing with He Song’s storage bag…
Was a plan Mi Cang came up with as soon as he found out He Song was a loose cultivator and had 110,000 jin of spirit rice.
For someone like He Song, who hides behind the scenes but is exceptionally wealthy, if he didn’t make a move, wouldn’t he just be benefiting someone else?
Rather than benefiting others…
Why not benefit himself..
