This seems to be the first time someone has said that to him.
And he is also an elder.
Xi Zhong was a little amused, "Elder Yingyue, why am I so scary? Just with my meager cultivation?"
Yingyue stretched out her little hand and pointed at Xi Zhong's heart, "Your heart is terribly dark."
Xi Zhong: "..."
"Then I'll take it as your compliment." Xi Zhong shrugged.
"Did you decide to sell this jade pendant to the Bishui Sect from the beginning?" Yingyue looked at Xi Zhong.
Xi Zhong blinked, "No, we sell it to whomever offers the highest price."
"Then why did you deliberately spare the Bishui Sect before and then choose to advance to the Heavenly Thunder Sect?"
"If I say that I have an intuition in my heart that tells me to do this, would you believe me?"
Yingyue just stretched out her two little hands, her little face full of threats, "Are you going to say it or not?"
"Tell me about it." Xi Zhong sighed and confessed: "Actually, ever since I met these people at the auction house, I have been paying attention to them, including their tone of voice and character. I have made a rough guess.
Of course, the reason why I look at it that way is just to confirm one thing, which is their respective status in their own sect."
"The final result is that the old man from the Bishui Sect, although he has reached the perfect spiritual realm, has great decision-making power and can make decisions on his own without asking the sect for instructions."
"As for the middle-aged man from Lei Sect that day, although his level was higher than that of the old man in colorful clothes, his status in the sect was not low. Especially at that time, he had to ask the sect's senior officials for instructions at the auction, so in
The moment I got the jade pendant, I actually started thinking about how to do this business."
Listening to Xi Zhong's calm words, Yingyue felt shocked, "You just relied on this to decide in your mind how to do the next business?"
"That's not it?"
Xi Zhong smiled and asked: "If the information is enough, then naturally we can start taking action."
"But what does this have to do with you coming to Bishui Sect to discuss business in the end?" Yingyue was still confused.
Xi Zhong had no choice but to explain: "Actually, this is the most basic common sense. If you think about it, the middle-aged man must ask the sect for instructions on this matter. Since it is decided by the sect, it means that this
The upper limit for the number of jade spirit stones in this business is extremely high. Even if we offered the Lei Sect a price of 2.5 million jade spirit stones that day, they would probably agree to it. After all, this was decided by their sect’s senior leaders.
, if such a big decision is really passed, then the two and a half million jade spirit stones are really likely to fall into our pockets."
"Looking at the high-ranking old man in Chinese clothes of Bishui Sect, it seems that this matter is entirely up to him to decide. In other words, how many jade spirit stones should be spent to buy this black jade pendant?
With the bottom line, he has already decided that he can only spend 2.4 million jade spirit stones at most to buy this jade pendant, so it is impossible for me to get a higher price for the jade spirit stones from him."
"Now that you look at it this way, it's easy to figure out the order of succession. Lei Zong must be the one who leaves first, because it is very likely that we can't agree on the price, but it doesn't mean that there is no chance. This means that we are
If there is a second chance to negotiate, then I will come here to speak to the lion first and let him think carefully. If he agrees, then I don’t have to continue leaving the Bishui Sect."
"On the other hand, if he doesn't agree, then I can come directly to the Bishui Sect's mansion and talk to this old man in Chinese clothes who can make decisions independently. At this time, even if it's 2.3 million jade spirit stones, I will decide to
Sell this jade pendant."
Listening to Xi Zhong's careful explanation, Yingyue felt a headache.
This simple business actually contains so many secrets?
Does it also depend on the status and power of the ancestor?
If she was asked to do this business, she wouldn't need so many skills, so she could just buy it at a fixed price, whether she likes it or not.
Seeing Elder Yingyue's depressed look, Xi Zhong just smiled slightly.
In fact, if your strength and cultivation level are high enough, you don't need to care about this kind of thing. No matter who the enemy is or who the buyer or seller is, they can crush it with their strength. You have to buy it even if you don't want to.
But the reality is that Xi Zhong doesn't have that kind of strength yet, so he can only think more and speculate.
The old man's so-called "informing the sect" was probably really just informing the sect.
So it didn't take much time. After just a while, the old man came over with a special storage bag that emitted fluorescence.
Even a monk like Xi Zhong, who has no discernment, can see that this special storage bag is extraordinary.
The old man smiled and handed over the storage bag and said with a smile: "Here are 2.4 million jade spirit stones."
Xi Zhong also handed over the jade pendant in his hand, paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.
After a slight feeling, the old man confirmed the authenticity of this jade pendant.
Yingyue took the storage bag from Xi Zhong, closed her eyes and felt the huge jade spirit stone inside, and then nodded gently to Xi Zhong.
The old man looked at Xi Zhong with a smile, "Originally, I thought I would miss out on this battle for resources at the auction yesterday, but I never thought that there would be another bright future in the village."
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "Then I wish the disciples of Guizong can shine in the battle for resources."
"Good luck will come to you after your childhood."
Then Xi Zhong and Ying Yue left the mansion directly without staying any longer.
After leaving the mansion, Yingyue murmured: "It seems that the old man really doesn't care about Xuanhuang Sect's hatred."
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "As I said, those three sects don't deal with each other, and they have offended each other severely enough. How can they still be afraid?"
"And depending on the situation, Bishui Sect is the most powerful sect among the three sects. Just look at the nonchalant look on his face when he took out the Jade Spirit Stone."
"Then why didn't the old man just buy the jade pendant at the auction house earlier?"
"I don't know about that." Xi Zhong shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe people think that more than 2.5 million is too expensive, so they don't buy it."
Yingyue pouted, feeling that this reason was perfunctory.
When the two returned to the Beast Control Sect's mansion, they entered a secret room and began to divide the spoils... No, they started to divide the profits.
Two million and four hundred thousand jade spirit stones were donated to the sect, and one million was donated to the sect so that the sect could protect Xi Zhong.
This million must be spent.
After all, the name of the Beast Control Sect was used in this matter.
But don't underestimate the name of the Beast Control Sect. It was precisely because he went with the name of the Beast Control Sect that Xi Zhong was not crushed by the people from the Lei Sect and the Blue Water Sect that day.
This sect background is very similar to the academic qualifications in the world where Xi Zhong lived in his previous life. It is like a stepping stone. If your "educational qualifications" are low, you will not be able to knock on other people's doors.
The remaining 1.4 million was divided between Xi Zhong and Na Yingyue.
Xi Zhong took 800,000 to 400,000 jade spirit stones, while Yingyue only made one trip and got 560,000 jade spirit stones in vain.
This simply made Xi Zhong feel disgusting.
It's like money dropped from the sky to this Yingyue!
But forget it, if there was no Yingyue this time, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Dividing the spoils... no, after the dividends were distributed, Yingyue's face was filled with red light and she held Xi Zhong's hand with a smile, as if she was treating her husband, and she was very affectionate.
Xi Zhong watched Yingyue approaching him with a proud face, and when he thought that there was an old woman who was hundreds of years old hiding in that lolita's body, he got goosebumps and felt that he could not afford to enjoy such a beautiful blessing.
However, Xi Zhong could also understand Yingyue's sudden wealth.
In fact, Xi Zhong is also very happy now, extremely happy.
From a net worth of only fifty jade spirit stones, he suddenly became a wealthy man with hundreds of thousands of jade spirit stones... This is probably not even comparable to the small treasury of Wu Mei and Su Nian.
Then Elder Yingyue called everyone together again.
Then everyone looked at Yingyue, who was hugging Xi Zhong's arm affectionately, with strange expressions. The way they looked at her was not as sarcastic and mean as when they first met Xi Zhong?
Could it be that Xi Zhong really conquered this old Loli woman!?
What can Xi Zhong say other than helplessness to the strange looks in these people's eyes?
In just half a day, she went from a poor elder to a wealthy young woman. Yingyue should be happy.
Yingyue blushed, stood in front of everyone, coughed, and then said: "Tomorrow is the beginning of the battle for resources. Before that, I want to tell you the detailed rules after entering!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions froze.
But at this moment, Yingyue suddenly reached out towards Xi Zhong.
Everyone was stunned again.
Then everyone saw that Xi Zhong skillfully took out a... lollipop... from the shabby storage bag on his waist...
Everyone was sweating profusely.
Yingyue chewed on the lollipop, then waved her little hand lightly, and her spiritual power vibrated.
An extremely detailed map appeared in mid-air among everyone.
On that map, whether it was the production points, routes, or the distribution of spiritual beasts in it, etc., they were all clearly drawn.
Yingyue's face finally became serious at this moment, but her cheeks became bulging because she was holding a lollipop in her mouth, and she really didn't look serious.
She said solemnly: "The seven major sects enter through the seven entrances respectively. After entering, for the sake of fairness, the people from the seven major sects jointly set up a space teleportation array inside, and everyone passed through it.
After that space teleportation array, you will be randomly teleported to a location in the Black Flame Crystal Mountains, but they are all peripheral locations. There is nothing to say about this. It all depends on luck. Whether the location you teleport to is good or bad is up to fate!"
