Unlike other stall owners, the man running this stall did not seem to be in the midst of a bustling market at all.
He sat cross-legged with lowered eyelids, actually ditating amidst the market's clamor.
Feeling the peaceful aura emanating from him, Xu Fan was overco with an indescribable sensation.
He felt this middle-aged man was a master, yet he could not find any trace of Martial Cultivation on him.
"Xu Fan, that guy, so strange..."
Not only Xu Fan had this feeling; Gongsun Qin was also curiously sizing up the man at this mont.
Even Situ Jing had never given her such an inscrutable impression.
"Let's go take a look."
Instead of speculating wildly here, it would be better to go and see for oneself.
As he spoke, Xu Fan led Gongsun Qin towards the stall.
Upon approaching the stall, Xu Fan found himself both amused and bemused.
This fellow was truly an extraordinary character.
Unlike other stalls, which were filled with a mix of genuine and fake goods, this guy's stall had just one small vial on display.
In front of the vial lay a description.
"Great item, fifty million, take it or leave it, no bargaining, don't be a nuisance."
Reading this in his mind, Xu Fan could not help but be amused; this guy really had quite the personality.
Love it, buy it; otherwise, get lost, this tone did not at all resemble that of a typical street vendor.
Curious as to what was inside the vial, Xu Fan activated the golden glow in his right pupil without any noticeable change in expression.
At that mont, a streak of golden light twinkled in Xu Fan's eye, and the small vial gradually beca transparent before his eyes.
It was not an elixir; the vial contained a liquid.
A vermillion color, it seed to be so sort of blood?
For so reason, the longer he stared, the more Xu Fan felt a dangerous aura emanating from the blood!
It was as if the substance had the power to devour souls, and the intimidation forced Xu Fan to retract the golden glow in his right pupil.
This blood clearly contained imnse power. Although he did not know what it was, Xu Fan was certain that its value definitely exceeded fifty million!
As for what it was exactly, he could only wait to figure it out after returning ho.
"Boss, I'll take it for fifty million."
Without any fuss, Xu Fan took out his card and prepared to buy the vial right away.
"Damn! You've got to be kidding ?"
"Are there really so many fools in this world?"
This ti, even Gongsun Qin had no objections; she felt that what this expert was selling was certainly not a Mortal Grade item, but the surrounding stall owners were murmuring amongst themselves.
The stall owner had not been a regular on this street, having appeared only three days ago.
His unyielding deanor, coupled with the fact that he was only selling a single vial, had attracted everyone's attention in just three days.
Indeed, many had been drawn to him, inquiring about what was inside the vial.
But the man did not even bother to open his eyes to look...
This attitude had directly turned away half the crowd, and the exorbitant price of fifty million naturally deterred further interest.
One couldn't simply spend fifty million just because he claid it was a quality item, could they?
Of course, there weren't many around here who could afford to spend fifty million on such a vial.
Under the whispers of the onlookers, the middle-aged man opened his eyes unhurriedly.
His presence was so nonchalant that the crowd couldn't help but admire him.
If it had been any of them, who could remain so composed with soone willing to pay fifty million for such a small vial...
"Finally, soone who knows the goods."
The stall owner glanced at Xu Fan indifferently and spoke as if he still thought he had sold it for too little.
Xu Fan smiled and replied, "Alright, swipe the card."
Unsure of this man's background, Xu Fan thought that after purchasing the vial, he would have a good chat with him.
He only had one item for sale; surely he couldn't lack for ti?
"Wait a mont!"
"I bid one billion!"
Just as the deal was about to be finalized, a languid voice drifted from the edge of the crowd.
Everyone listened and almost knelt in awe.
What the hell?
A broken dicine bottle, and people are actually fighting to buy it?
One billion, just for this thing—are they insane?
Out of curiosity, everyone wanted to see who had shouted such a high price.
Imdiately, the crowd parted to reveal the bidder.
"Xu Fan, what a coincidence?"
"Who would have thought to encounter you here."
Hearing the smug greeting from the other party, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown.
Indeed it was a case of enemies eting on a narrow road; here he was, running into Ye Chongshan.
In the span of one evening, Ye Chongshan had taken over many of his places with the force of a thunderbolt, his face now full of triumphant pleasure.
This ti, he was followed by quite a few subordinates. Aside from those he had brought from Hong Kong Island, there were several familiar faces to Xu Fan.
Traitors of the Qing Gang.
Having betrayed the Qing Gang and followed Ye Chongshan, these individuals showed no sha on their faces, even looking at Xu Fan with a hint of mockery.
Accompanying Ye Chongshan's close confidants, so were flaunting all manner of trinkets and ancient paintings, with one even leading a top-grade spiritual mastiff.
These items had clearly been picked up from this street.
Xu Fan scanned them and then teased, "As the saying goes, like father, like son; Ye Chongshan, you and your three sons do look alike."
"You!"
Xu Fan's mockery infuriated Ye Chongshan!
"Kid, don't think you're amazing just because you have a sharp tongue."
He glared coldly at Xu Fan and humd, "Your despair has only just begun."
To be honest, Ye Chongshan couldn't quite understand Xu Fan.
This guy, swept aside by him in so many places overnight, would normally be too busy crying at ho to have the mood to co here and hunt for treasures.
Wasn't it supposed to be winners like himself who had the privilege of doing such things?
"Sorry, but I'm taking that item."
He had no idea why Xu Fan wanted to buy the dicine bottle or what the bottle contained.
But Ye Chongshan was very clear that this kid Xu Fan had good taste, and snatching his item would surely upset him.
That way, even if this one billion went down the drain, it would still be worth it.
"Looks like you need to have a discussion with him now."
The stall owner hadn't expected another competitor to pop up.
He casually lifted his eyelids, glanced at Xu Fan, and then took back the dicine bottle.
"This guy..."
Gongsun Qin could not help but glare angrily at Ye Chongshan at this mont.
For this guy to suddenly jump in and interfere was truly infuriating!
"Xu Fan, don't let him have it!"
Nervously tugging at Xu Fan, Gongsun Qin gathered her courage.
Intuition told her that there was sothing special about the contents of that bottle, and even at this price, it would not be a loss.
But Ye Chongshan had already reached a bid of one billion. Whether Xu Fan had the capital to compete with him was sothing Gongsun Qin truly didn't know.
She knew that given Ye Chongshan's current state, one billion was clearly not his final limit.
