"Huh?"
The shop assistant’s eyes lit up with a trace of joy upon seeing this Treasure-Level Mid-Grade Magical Treasure. However, he quickly concealed his delight, replacing it with a serious expression.
Ye Haochuan was utterly astonished; this shop assistant actually possessed Cultivation at the Immortal Transformation Early Stage. This was absurd! If any random assistant had Immortal Transformation power, how was he supposed to make his way in the Immortal Realm?
The shop assistant seed oblivious to Ye Haochuan’s expression. After flipping through the item for a while, he suddenly frowned and casually tossed the Treasure-Level Late Stage Magical Treasure onto the table.
"Is this what you’re pawning?"
The shop assistant pointed at the Magical Treasure with disdain, saying, "For a Treasure-Level Late Stage Magical Treasure, I’ll give you at most two Low-Grade Red Crystals. Do you have anything else?"
"Two Low-Grade Red Crystals? Are you sure you didn’t misspeak?"
Ye Haochuan nearly popped his eyes out. On the street earlier, two pancakes sold for one Low-Grade Red Crystal, which ant this Treasure-Level Late Stage Magical Treasure was only worth four pancakes?
"Of course, I’m already offering you a good deal with two Low-Grade Red Crystals."
The shop assistant looked at Ye Haochuan, secretly thinking he had hit the jackpot, but his facial expression remained unchanged.
"Then how much is this worth?"
Ye Haochuan frowned slightly, waved the Magical Treasure aside, and produced a small jade bottle, placing it in front of the shop assistant.
"Liquid Spiritual Energy?"
The shop assistant picked up the bottle, gently shook it twice, then exclaid in surprise. However, he regretted his outburst imdiately, realizing he had basically announced this Liquid Spiritual Energy was valuable.
"Indeed, how much do you think this is worth?"
Ye Haochuan was secretly delighted once more. Seeing the shop assistant’s reaction, it was clear the Liquid Spiritual Energy was quite valuable.
"Four Low-Grade Red Crystals per drop; it looks like there are twenty drops here, so I’ll offer you eighty Low-Grade Red Crystals."
The shop assistant scrutinized the bottle from all angles and, without waiting for Ye Haochuan’s response, stashed the bottle in the counter, instantly fetched eighty-two Low-Grade Red Crystals, and conveniently seized the Treasure-Level Late Stage Magical Treasure as well.
Damn, this guy is treating like a fool!
Ye Haochuan was imdiately displeased; he hadn’t yet agreed to pawn the item, yet the shop assistant had already taken everything, clearly intending to force the transaction.
"Return my items; I’m not pawning them!"
Ye Haochuan pushed the pile of Red Crystals back, instantly recognizing the crystals’ inferior quality, even worse than the Red Crystals he acquired in the Lower Realm.
"What? You’re not pawning them?"
The shop assistant’s face darkened into a smirk, saying coldly, "A re Nascent Soul Mid-Stage brat dares to cause trouble in our Legendary Pawnshop?"
With his words, an imnsely terrifying pressure bore down on Ye Haochuan, who groaned softly as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Grab your receipt and Red Crystals and roll out. Our Legendary Pawnshop never mistreats custors. If you go to another pawnshop, you’d be lucky to get even fifty Low-Grade Red Crystals for your stuff."
The shop assistant slapped a receipt and eighty-two inferior Red Crystals onto Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan was rendered immobile due to the oppressive pressure, causing the inferior Red Crystals to scatter on the floor.
"Such arrogance!"
At that mont, a familiar voice echoed from outside the door, accompanied by a familiar figure appearing before Ye Haochuan.
"Big Boss!"
The shop assistant trembled upon seeing the figure, and his oppressive pressure disappeared swiftly like rcury.
"Brother Zeng..."
Ye Haochuan finally spat out a mouthful of blood, grabbed the nearby counter for support, and with trembling voice, called out.
"Rest assured, Brother, I won’t let him off easily!"
Brother Zeng darted over to support Ye Haochuan, his eyes flashing with a fierce light that pierced straight at the shop assistant.
"B-B-Boss, he... he wanted to pawn items, I gave him the Red Crystals, but he... he said he’s not pawning!"
The shop assistant wore a terrified expression; his worldview seed shattered, seeing soone who looked like a poor kid addressing their big boss as Brother Zeng.
"I’ll give you three seconds to get out of my sight, or face the consequences!"
Brother Zeng retrieved a Pill from his Storage Magical Treasure, using it to treat Ye Haochuan, before once again glaring coldly at the shop assistant.
"B-Boss, what... what did you say?"
The shop assistant was dumbstruck by Brother Zeng’s words, his mind going numb, as the boss chose to kick him out rather than deal with the custor.
Little did he know, his words had pierced the screen, overheard by Brother Zeng as he walked into the shop.
One... Two... Three!
Brother Zeng wasted no words, glanced at Ye Haochuan, then rapidly counted to three, leaving the shop assistant no ti to react.
Bang~
Brother Zeng’s hand, like an arc of lightning, slapped the shop assistant to the ground, leaving a bright red handprint on his pale face.
"Get out!"
Then Brother Zeng kicked the shop assistant, sending him flying like a soccer ball, arching over the screen and out the pawnshop door; Brother Zeng’s shot was precise!
A wail echoed from outside the shop, followed by swift footfalls retreating into the distance; the shop assistant dared not return and slinked away.
"Brother, I’m sorry for the injustice you suffered."
Brother Zeng turned back earnestly apologizing to Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan was mostly fine, and after consuming the Pill, his injuries healed rapidly.
He was astonished, though, that before he could say anything, Brother Zeng had violently expelled the shop assistant.
"No worries, Brother Zeng, is this Legendary Pawnshop also yours?"
Ye Haochuan waved his hands, showing that he wasn’t upset, and curiously pointed at the pawnshop.
"Yes, this pawnshop is part of our Legendary Chamber of Comrce. Brother Ye, please wait a mont."
Seeing Ye Haochuan was fine, Brother Zeng set out a chair for him, poured a cup of tea, and apologized again, before stepping into a side room of the pawnshop. Shortly after, Ye Haochuan heard shouts coming from inside.
