Chapter 237: Chapter 42: Cunning Acquisition and Seizure_3

Bao An sneered incessantly.

Soon, 20 middle-grade Spirit Stones were quickly reduced to 5 middle-grade Spirit Stones under Bao An’s ‘efforts’, along with some added rubbings of class II Spells.

Shopkeeper Lao looked as if he were mourning, seemingly wary of Bao An’s power and reluctantly agreed.

At that moment, Shopkeeper Lao seemed to notice something, picking up the Jade Slip that Wang Ba had selected earlier, and hurriedly said, “I almost forgot about this Jade Slip.”

“That’s fine. What’s the price of this Spell?”

Wang Ba remained poker-faced.

Shopkeeper Lao took a look, and considerately said, “This Spell might cost a bit more, requiring 513 middle-grade Spirit Stones, esteemed…”

Wang Ba’s gaze slightly solidified.

“Even though it’s expensive… can’t you offer a lower price?”

Out of the blue, Bao An interjected.

Shopkeeper Lao shook his head directly this time, “This one genuinely cannot be made cheaper, the cost is truly high, unlike the rubbings.”

“No, even if the cost is high, you must still reduce the price for me!”

Bao An was insistent.

“Chief, it’s not that I wouldn’t give face, it’s just really not possible. How about this, I’ll knock off a little, 510 stones!”

“You’re nitpicking too much!” VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

Bao An pointedly said, “You have to at least knock off ten middle-grade Spirit Stones for me!”

“This is really…”

“If it’s not possible, then we will not buy it!”

Bao An suddenly threatened, and he turned his head and gave Wang Ba a comforting look, indicating for Wang Ba to trust him.

Wang Ba watched their performance, and for a while, did not know what expression to wear.

But what Bao An said seemed to touch Shopkeeper Lao’s sore spot.

Shopkeeper Lao’s face showed an unbearable struggle, and tried to resist, “Chief, esteemed… I really can’t lower the price anymore…”

Bao An was about to take advantage of the situation to speak.

But suddenly, he heard,

“Well then, I don’t want the Jade Slip, I will just take those rubbings, five middle grade Spirit Stones, is it?”

“Here.”

Wang Ba swiftly pulled out the Spirit Stones, laid them neatly on the counter, and immediately collected the gold paper rubbings. He then turned and left.

This fluid action left Bao An and Shopkeeper Lao stunned.

Seeing that Wang Ba was about to leave the bookstore, a panicking Bao An couldn’t help but shout:

“Stop!”

Wang Ba paused slightly, turned around, his face calm, “What advice would Friend Bao have?”

“You…”

Bao An faltered.

However, he has been mingling in the market for many years, and by this point, he had reacted. Clearly, the fat sheep he had set his eyes on had seen through his intentions and was going against his plan. He was just going with the flow!

He didn’t even try to maintain the false harmony and sneered, “Sir, do you think you can just leave after taking this advantage?”

“Then let’s go with the original price. Is it okay if I give you fifteen more middle-grade Spirit Stones?”

Wang Ba retorted.

Bao An was choked up for a moment. He was used to riding on the heads of the rogue cultivators in the market, making a fuss. The rogue cultivators who came here were mostly timid and fearful. Seeing him, the rogue cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage would just count themselves unlucky because of the Xuli Sect backing behind him. They seldom encountered someone like Wang Ba. He immediately snorted:

“I won’t waste words with you. Either hand over the class II Flying Magic Tool stolen from my market or pay 500 middle-grade Spirit Stones to buy this Jade Slip. Otherwise, don’t blame this Chief…”

‘Bang!’

A giant Spirit Chicken filled with a cold aura jumped out from the Spirit Beast Bag.

Its cold, aggressive, and indifferent eyes quickly landed on Bao An.

At this moment, Bao An, who was intending to bluff and squeeze a few hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones or a class II top-grade Flying Magic Tool, felt incredibly dumbfounded and chilly in his heart!

It’s a class II top-grade Spirit Beast!

“You, you…”

“Friend Bao…”

At the entrance of the bookstore, Wang Ba quietly watched Bao An:

“What will you do?”
