Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 651 Heavenly Dragon Divine Liquid Exchanged for Jade Essence

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this.

I thought to myself, "You've got a pretty good plan."

So he shook his head and said, "Manager Niu, you flatter me. I, Chu Chen, am not worthy of such praise. Please tell me the price of this item."

After listening, Niu Baiye thought to himself that this expert in front of him seemed to look down on his small shop.

Does he not know that Baibaoge is one of the top business associations in Anchang?

Even among the Heavenly Realm experts, there is one, and among the Earthly Realm experts, there are as many as six.

Could it be that the bargaining chips I offered weren't enough?

"Manager Niu, even if you're going to give it to me, you should at least state its value."

Hearing Chu Chen's urging, Niu Baiye dared not delay.

He immediately said to Chu Chen, "Senior Chu, this item, although effective, will weaken as the martial artist's strength increases."

"Therefore, this jade bottle can be sold for three thousand pieces of jade essence."

Chu Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this; such a tiny amount, yet it was three thousand jade essences.

You should know that this little maidservant, after working hard for a whole month, only received one piece of jade essence as payment.

This price is good. I'll just make him a bucket myself, and then I'll be rich.

So he smiled and nodded, then said in a deliberately profound tone, "Hmm, not bad, you're quite honest."

"Do you think I've reached the Earth Realm and haven't seen this thing before?"

After saying that, a jade bottle appeared in Chu Chen's hand.

Then I just casually put it on the table.

"Manager Niu, open it and see if my Heavenly Dragon Divine Elixir is purer than yours."

After listening, Niu Baiye carefully picked up the jade bottle and opened it.

Then, he felt the pure aura emanating from the liquid inside the jade bottle.

He immediately opened his eyes wide.

"Senior, this...this...is so much better than what I have here."

After saying that, Niu Baiye put the jade bottle cap back on and then respectfully placed it in front of Chu Chen.

"Senior Chu, I was blind to your abilities, please forgive me."

Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this, then picked up the jade bottle and handed it to the maid beside him.

"Here, it's for you!"

Amidst the little girl's terrified yet excited gaze, Chu Chen turned to look at Niu Baiye.

"Manager Niu, there's no need to be modest. I have some Heavenly Dragon Divine Liquid on hand, so I'd like to sell it to you. I wonder if you'd be willing to buy it?"

"Yes, yes, we'll definitely accept it!"

Upon hearing that Chu Chen was actually going to sell these Heavenly Dragon Divine Liquids, Niu Baiye immediately became excited.

You know, who would be willing to sell such a pure divine liquid? It's usually kept for the younger generation in the family, or for one's own use to improve one's strength.

Another benefit is that it can quickly replenish one's stamina during combat.

"May I ask, senior, how much divine liquid did you use?"

Niu Baiye was very excited. If he could collect ten or eight bottles and hand them over to headquarters, perhaps he could catch the eye of those big shots.

After listening, Chu Chen pretended to think for a moment and then said.

"I don't have many on hand, but dividing out a hundred or eighty bottles shouldn't be a big problem."

"I just don't know if Manager Niu has that much jade essence."

"What? One hundred... eighty bottles."

Niu Baiye felt like his mind was a little foggy right now.

It seems the brain is growing rapidly.

If one bottle is the store's prized possession, what does it mean to have a hundred or eighty bottles? That would allow you to build a small force in a very short time.

So he quickly and excitedly said to Chu Chen, "Yes, yes, yes, the jade essence is no problem, but please give me three days."

"Please come to the Treasure Pavilion again in three days, senior, so we can trade in person."

Chu Chen nodded slowly after listening.

I'll do it in three days if I say so. I'm just worried you won't be prepared. As long as you are prepared, I'll like it.

Whether you're preparing to become an expert or a jade connoisseur.

If you're going to be a master, then don't blame yourself for snatching the jade essence.

If you're preparing jade essence, then let's trade properly. What's a few water ladles?

After discussing the details of the transaction, Chu Chen took the maid's hand and walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

After the maid left, she took out a jade bottle from her person and handed it back to Chu Chen.

"Senior, this is such a valuable item, I cannot accept it!"

After listening, Chu Chen turned to look at her and thought to himself that although she always thought about climbing the social ladder, she was still a decent person and there was hope for her.

So he said, "Alright, there's no reason to ask for something back once it's been given away."

"Don't worry, I don't lack this thing, but there's one thing: since you know so much, you'll have no choice but to follow me from now on."

"If anything about me leaks out, you should know the consequences."

The little maid was about to kneel down again after hearing this, but Chu Chen pulled her back.

"Don't worry, senior. Although my body is dirty, my heart is not. I will definitely serve you well."

"Alright, let's go back. Let's get something good to eat tonight. The food at the county government office is terrible."

Little did they know that just as the two left, two furtive figures appeared where Chu Chen and his companion had been.

"Brother, should we inform the Ancestor about this?"

"Definitely! The appearance of a powerful expert at the Earth Realm in Tongluo County could very well affect Ancestor's plans. Let's go back!"

After saying that, the two headed in another direction and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Chu Chen returned to the courtyard prepared for them by the county government with his two maids.

Chu Chen then went into the room.

When he came out again, Chu Chen had an iron pot and some ingredients in his hands.

That's right, he's going to cook two side dishes himself.

After eating so much rich food in the county government office, Chu Chen felt he couldn't take it anymore.

The key issue is that there aren't many seasonings, so the taste isn't very good.

"Senior, are you going to cook yourself?"

“That’s right, you start a fire in the yard, I’ll teach you how.”

About half an hour later, Chu Chen looked at the few side dishes on the table, picked up his bowl, and began to eat heartily.

After a hearty meal, Chu Chen didn't go out. Instead, he went straight into his room and fell into a deep sleep.

Three days later, Chu Chen got up early in the morning and, accompanied by his maid, drove a carriage toward Duobaoge.

When Niu Baiye saw Chu Chen, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

"Welcome, Senior Chu. Please come in."

Chu Chen smiled and handed him a backpack: "No need for such trouble. Have you prepared a hundred bottles of Heavenly Dragon Divine Liquid and Jade Essence?"

Niu Baiye took the divine liquid from Chu Chen, waved his hand, and several servants carried boxes to Chu Chen.

“Senior, because the Heavenly Dragon Divine Liquid you brought out is better than the ones on the market, I negotiated with the higher-ups to give you four thousand jade essence per bottle.”

Chu Chen was delighted upon hearing this, thinking to himself that this Treasure Pavilion was quite thoughtful.
