Chapter 1619: Chapter 1620: Almost Fooled
After dealing with Fang Lin, Ye Mo didn’t stay any longer and immediately followed the route to Creation Valley. The map indicated that to go to the Immortal Martial Academy, one must first head to Creation Valley.
Ye Mo glanced at the map; at his current speed, it would probably take only seven days to reach Creation Valley.
However, he was penniless. His original plan was to stay for a few days in the nearest city to the Immortal Martial Academy, Netherflame City, to concoct some seals for sale and then head to the Academy. But he had already spent seven days in Medicine Valley, and time was running short. Fortunately, Ye Mo had obtained a Yellow Grade Immortal Treasure, which he could sell for a tuition fee of 5 million Immortal Stones.
Ye Mo entered Netherflame City, made some inquiries, and immediately entered a place called the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. With the aura of an Upper Immortal, the guards dared not stop him.
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion is different from the Immortal Treasure Meeting, which is an independent space. The Pavilion is a massive building where the focus is on quality rather than quantity, selling only premium items above the treasure level.
"Sir, may I ask what you need to purchase?"
As soon as Ye Mo entered, a middle-aged man approached him, noticing that Ye Mo was looking around, clearly a new visitor.
"I have a Yellow Grade Medium Quality Immortal Treasure here; are you interested in acquiring it?"
Ye Mo said calmly.
"An Immortal Treasure?"
The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. Purchasing a medium quality Immortal Treasure would allow for a 20% margin of profit. Normally, a standard Yellow Grade Medium Quality Immortal Treasure would be priced at 5 million Immortal Stones, but at their auction house, it would sell for 4.5 million Immortal Stones, providing a 500,000 Stones margin, and he would receive 100,000 Stones from that.
"Let me have a look!"
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands together and smiled.
Ye Mo handed the wooden sword to the middle-aged man, who examined it closely and secretly marveled: "An Immortal Treasure crafted from Profound Wood Copper Bone?"
Profound Wood Copper Bone is no ordinary material, and typical Martial Artists can’t identify it. Only those familiar with trading can see that this wooden sword’s material is exceptional.
"This guy doesn’t know where he got this Yellow Grade Medium Quality Immortal Treasure, but the material is crafted from Profound Wood Copper Bone. If this wooden sword were placed in an auction, it could fetch up to 10 million Immortal Stones."
The middle-aged man was moved. He then said to Ye Mo, "Your weapon is merely a standard Yellow Grade Medium Quality Immortal Treasure. The market price is 5 million Immortal Stones; however, if you sell it to us, we can only offer 4.5 million Immortal Stones."
Hearing this, Ye Mo, unaware of the inside story, nodded, thinking the price was quite reasonable.
"Could you sell this wooden sword directly to me?"
At this moment, a young man and woman walked into the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. It was the girl who spoke.
The woman was extremely slender, dressed in a blue gown. Her silver hair slightly moved, beneath which was a beautiful face, her features sculpted as if by heavenly jade, lively eyes, and small red lips slightly curving, making one tempted to give her a kiss.
The man beside her was towering, with arms resembling those of a giant ape, creating a stark visual contrast next to the girl.
"Sell it to you?"
Ye Mo replied.
"Yes, since you haven’t sold it to them yet, we could trade directly, avoiding the handling fees."
The girl said softly.
Ye Mo scrutinized them again, noticing a white ribbon on their sleeves, adorned with two bright characters: "Immortal Martial!"
Without a doubt, they were students of the Immortal Martial Academy, though it wasn’t clear which year.
"So, you are students from the Immortal Martial Academy."
The middle-aged man noticed the ribbons on their arms, showing a polite smile. He had intended to get angry but, sensing they were Academy students, his expression softened.
Students from the Immortal Martial Academy are not necessarily top masters, but they are not to be bullied by outsiders, and the two before him had quite formidable auras.
"Both of them are in the Immortal Class."
Ye Mo was slightly surprised; these two were at least above the Third Layer of the Immortal Class Realm.
"Manager Qian, this shouldn’t break your rules, right? I’ll directly trade with him."
The blue-clad girl said softly.
If Ye Mo’s wooden sword were just ordinary, Manager Qian would surely let the two Academy students have it without hesitation. But this wooden sword was no ordinary piece.
"We still have quite a few Yellow Grade Immortal Treasures here and even some Yellow Grade Superior Immortal Treasures."
Manager Qian said.
"Really?"
The girl smiled slightly, her hands folded behind her back, slowly saying, "However, I primarily cultivate the Wood Law, and this weapon suits me perfectly."
"We have other Five-Elements Cultivation Immortal Treasures here; why not take a look at other weapons?"
Manager Qian chuckled dryly, though his expression wasn’t pleasant.
"Apparently, this weapon is still mine, right? These two are my senior brother and sister, so I’ll sell the wooden sword to her directly."
Ye Mo said calmly.
"Oh? You’re also a student from the Immortal Martial Academy?"
The girl exclaimed with surprise, her charming appearance quite adorable.
"You’re a student of the Immortal Martial Academy too?"
The burly man also expressed his surprise.
"I have just enrolled as a student of the Immortal Martial Academy; I’m preparing to enter soon."
Ye Mo said, showing the admission token in his hand to the two.
"So you’re indeed our junior; now we can speak even more candidly."
The girl smiled, extending her elegant arm towards Manager Qian, saying, "Hand over the wooden sword."
"No, now that the wooden sword is in my possession, it’s effectively sold to me."
Manager Qian stated promptly.
"Hmm?"
The girl glanced at the wooden sword in Manager Qian’s hand, her lively eyes flashing briefly, "Oh, you tricky thing! I see why you’re unwilling to hand over the wooden sword. It’s crafted using Profound Wood Copper Bone. Junior brother, this weapon could sell for at least 10 million Immortal Stones at auction, and I can’t afford it."
She had only 7 million Immortal Stones; even with a price reduction, she couldn’t buy the Profound Wood Copper Bone.
Upon hearing this, Manager Qian’s expression changed dramatically.
"Crafted with Profound Wood Copper Bone?"
Ye Mo was surprised and then laughed coldly, "Manager Qian, you almost tricked me. Hand over the wooden sword."
Now that the wooden sword had been revealed, Manager Qian had no choice but to accept his loss, unwillingly returning the wooden sword to Ye Mo before leaving in humiliation.
"Senior sister, without you, I might have suffered a big loss. How about this? I’ll sell this weapon to you for 6 million Immortal Stones; what do you think?"
Ye Mo smiled and said.
"What? 6 million Immortal Stones? That’s quite a loss for you,"
The girl exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe that a treasure valued at a million Immortal Stones could be sold for just 6 million Immortal Stones. Was he from a noble family?
"Without you, I might have been completely unaware. Soon I’ll also be a student of the Immortal Martial Academy, and I’ll rely on your care in the future."
Ye Mo said, handing the wooden sword to the girl, knowing that even Xuanyuan Ze didn’t realize it was crafted from Profound Wood Copper Bone.
