Beauty and the Bodyguard

With that, the surrounding merchants immediately glared at him, especially the merchant who had just made a bid. His face was flushed red, but he seemed to be a little afraid of this middle-aged man with a big beard. He only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

One hundred and fifty spiritual jade pieces? Lin Yi's heart jumped!

This was not a low price. At least, it was the highest price he had ever seen for the corpses of spirit beasts at the early stage of the foundation building realm. This middle-aged man with a big beard was indeed very straightforward.

Seeing that Lin Yi was interested, another shop owner panicked,"I bid one hundred and sixty spiritual jade pieces!"

The bearded middle-aged man glanced at the man and immediately raised the price without even lifting his eyelids.""One hundred and eighty spiritual jade pieces!"

When the others saw his wealthy and determined look, they were all helpless. Although the corpse of the Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard was very rare, it was still an early Foundation Stage spirit beast. This price had almost exceeded the upper limit.

If they raised the price even higher, they wouldn't be able to earn much even if they managed to get it and sell it. They'd just be wasting their time on Lin Yi, a stranger they'd never met.

But even so, there was still a merchant who gritted his teeth and raised the price,""I'll bid one hundred and eighty-five spirit Jade!"

But before Lin Yi could react, the middle-aged man called out again,""Two hundred spiritual jades!"

This time, all the other merchants did not say anything.

If he were to purchase an early-stage Foundation establishment spirit beast's corpse at a price higher than two hundred spirit jade pieces, it would be a loss even for the extremely rare Nine-Tailed cloud piercer leopard. There would be no more profit to be made.

Even Lin Yi couldn't help but look at this bearded man in a different light. To be honest, his first impression of this man was that of a typical businessman. He seemed sincere and enthusiastic, but he was actually scheming. He might be ripped off at any time. But now, it seemed that even if this man was a businessman, he was also a bold businessman.

For a Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard's corpse without an inner core, he dared to bid a high price of two hundred spiritual jade pieces without even blinking an eye. This had made his other competitors speechless. This kind of courage was not something that ordinary people could have.

Lin Yi looked at everyone's expressions and was sure that they wouldn't bid any higher. Just as he was about to make his decision, one of the onlookers sighed and looked at Lin Yi."This is a rare good thing, it's a pity to sell it!"

Lin Yi blinked and looked at the man carefully. He looked normal, and his clothes were plain, even shabby. He wasn't that strong either, only at the peak of the early Foundation Stage. He didn't stand out in a crowd.

However, after careful observation, Lin Yi found that the man's presence was different from the rest. It wasn't the kind of presence that a genius would have, but more like the presence of a scientist who was dedicated to his research.

If he had to find an example from someone else, this person gave Lin Yi a similar feeling to han Jingjing.

Although han Jingjing was a little confused in her daily life and did not have any special talents, her talent in alchemy could be said to be unprecedented. If she were to really develop, she could even be the kind of existence that could turn the entire alchemy world upside down and lead future changes.

And this ordinary person in front of him also had this kind of extraordinary temperament. It was just that his talent might not be in alchemy.

Before Lin Yi could say anything, the bearded middle-aged man beside Lin Yi started panicking. He glared at Lin Yi unhappily."King of junk, what are you talking about, you poor fellow? I'm offering two hundred spiritual jade pieces to buy this brother's Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard corpse, and you're saying it's a pity? If you're so capable, you can offer a higher price. Let's not talk about 200 spiritual Jade, you probably can't even take out 20 spiritual Jade!"

The man called "King of junk" suddenly looked stunned. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but wave his hand in embarrassment and said, "I'm not saying that it's a pity to sell it for two hundred spiritual jade pieces. The price of two hundred spiritual jade pieces is indeed very high, but some things can only be encountered by luck and not sought after. They are priceless. If the front claws and the tail of the Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard were used to forge weapons, the value of the weapon forged would be at least two thousand spiritual jade pieces!"

"Tsk! You're just bragging! How can a King of junk like you forge a weapon worth two thousand spiritual jades? Who are you trying to fool!"

The middle-aged man glanced at him unhappily before turning to Lin Yi."Brother, don't listen to this brat's crazy words. This brat is one of the most unpopular inner disciples in the GreenCloud Pavilion. His name is Wang lanpo. He doesn't know how to do anything but forge weapons. He has always claimed to be a forging master. He often buys the bits and pieces of the remains of spirit beasts from us, but he has never succeeded in forging anything decent. It's all a pile of junk, so we always call him the king of junk."

After hearing the middle-aged man's introduction, the king of junk's face turned red with anxiety. He quickly explained,""That's because you guys don't understand forging. In the field of forging, quality trumped everything. A true forging master would forge the best divine weapon even if he used the worst materials. As for the success rate, it's secondary. I'm just lower ..."

"As far as I know, you've never really succeeded in forging, right? And you have the nerve to say that the success rate is a little lower?" The bearded middle-aged man and the people around him who knew about this guy's story burst into laughter.

"Blacksmiths only talk about quality, not success rate. What do you laymen know ..." The king of junk continued to argue, his face flushed red. However, from the reaction of these people, it was futile.

Lin Yi, who was watching coldly from the side, couldn't help but smile at this scene. This King of junk was a wonderful person, just like Kong Yiji in the world of cultivation!

Just as everyone was laughing at the king, Lin Yi suddenly asked,""Brother Wang, you just said that the front claws and the tail of the Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard are good materials for forging?"

Everyone was stunned as they looked at Lin Yi with weird expressions. Did this guy really believe what the king said?

Among the crowd, the middle-aged man's face was the ugliest-he really wanted to buy Lin Yi's Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard body as his signature, even throwing out two hundred spiritual jades for it. He saw that Lin Yi was about to nod his head, and then this unexpected change came in for no reason-it really pissed him off. (To be continued.)
