The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai
Chapter 40: Another Trap for Hong Yin
The flying sword that Gu Yueyao is currently using is a mid-grade third-rank flying sword, which is just right for a cultivator in the Core Formation Realm.
Hong Yin wanted to give her a sixth-grade magic weapon, which was a level used by experts at the Nascent Soul Realm. This was clearly to show his sincerity.
After all, the owner of this 'bodyguard' is a freakish young man who just spent 4 billion mid-grade spirit stones to buy a near-ninth-grade weapon. If the level of the weapon he gives is too low, it may not meet the other party's expectations, and the other party may not even want it.
The other party had just bought a near-ninth-grade weapon and was giving away a sixth-grade one as a gift. Although the price was a bit high, it was still within his acceptable range. Most importantly, a sixth-grade weapon was already quite high for his 'personal bodyguard,' so he should be very satisfied.
Once he's satisfied, things will be much easier.
Standing to the side, Gu Yueyao couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Before this guy came up, he asked her if she wanted to change her flying sword, and she didn't expect him to actually change it for her, and it was even a third-grade sword for a sixth-grade one.
Sixth grade! That's a level used by Nascent Soul Realm experts! Even her grandfather wasn't at a higher level than her. The highest grade of magic weapon her grandfather used was only fifth grade, low level. This time, she really followed the right person and got a great deal.
The Nascent Soul Realm experts browsing the sixth-grade display area couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. They were in the Foundation Establishment Realm and used ninth-grade magic weapons, while their 'bodyguards' were in the Core Formation Realm and used sixth-grade magic weapons. Meanwhile, they, as Nascent Soul Realm experts, were using fifth-grade magic weapons. How could this not be discouraging?
This guy's wealth was beyond the imagination of even Nascent Soul Realm experts, and everyone's gaze towards Liang Shanbo became increasingly fanatical and greedy.
If they rob this guy, they'll be rich.
Many people harbored thoughts of killing and robbing Liang Shanbo. Liang Shanbo was only at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation; killing him would be as easy as drinking water for them. Judging from their observations of Liang Shanbo's wealth, robbing him would definitely provide for them for decades to come.
Liang Shanbo, a seasoned veteran, naturally understood that while a commoner may be innocent, possessing a treasure can be a crime, and many were secretly plotting against him. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Trying to steal from him? Not so easy. He'd be lucky if he didn't rob them instead. He never showed any mercy to those who dared to offend him.
On the sixth-grade display case, Gu Yueyao also chose an unfinished product that was not yet fully formed, but it was of the upper-grade sixth grade. Seeing this, Hong Yin felt a pang of heartache.
"Young brother, have you answered that question from before?" He had already given away a sword, and it was a high-grade sixth-rank sword. Now he should be able to answer, right? Hong Yin felt a mix of love, hate, and fear towards Liang Shanbo, afraid that the guy might not be satisfied and would make some other demands.
"Actually, it's nothing. All the spirit stones used by my family are this kind, which is why we have so many," Liang Shanbo shrugged and said calmly.
Does the whole family use this kind of spirit stone?
Hong Yin was stunned. Could you please stop exaggerating? He had been searching for one of these spirit stones for ages and hadn't found a single one, yet the other party seemed completely unfazed, and his whole family was using them?
Can you please stop being so discouraging?
"May I ask where you live, young man?"
Hong Yin couldn't help but ask.
Beside her, Gu Yueyao's ears perked up. She had asked Hong Yin this question before, but he had said he was unaffiliated with any sect or school. She wondered how he would answer this time.
Liang Shanbo pondered for a while; he really didn't know how to answer Hong Yin's question.
If we talk about his past life, he was the Holy Emperor of the Eternal Holy Dynasty; if we talk about his present life, he is a dead man to the outside world.
How to say?
To call him the Holy Emperor of the Eternal Holy Dynasty is clearly a stretch; he certainly can't return anytime soon. And if the other party asks where the Eternal Holy Dynasty is, what will he say? Such a vast place couldn't possibly be unknown or unknown on Water-Earth Star, could it?
Given Hong Yin's fanaticism for the Yangling Stone, he would definitely investigate. If he couldn't find anything, it would mean he'd been lied to. But the Eternal Holy Dynasty wasn't even a power in this world. What could he possibly say?
So, he's a time traveler? Someone who came from the Eternal Great World?
He would probably have been arrested on the spot as a spy invading the planet Water and Earth.
"I can choose not to answer this, right? My family is quite low-key and doesn't like to be disturbed."
Since saying his past life identity doesn't work, and saying his current identity doesn't work either, he might as well just find an excuse not to say anything. Anyway, the other party can't do anything to him.
"..."
The spirit stones used by the whole family are all special spirit stones, and that's considered relatively low-key?
Hong Yin rolled his eyes. He knew this might involve privacy issues and the other party might not answer. He then asked, "Where can I find you if I want to look for a young man?"
Since we can't know the other party's family power, we should at least know how to contact him, right?
Only by contacting him can the Yangling Stones be supplied continuously.
Liang Shanbo said with an embarrassed look, "Well, Shopkeeper Hong, I'm going to participate in some kind of auction. Could you send someone to arrange a private room for me? How many spirit stones would you like?"
"..."
Hong Yin almost vomited blood. Here we go again. Can't we just have a proper chat and talk things out?
He had never seen such a cunning young man before. Even the young masters of their Honghuang Store's main branch were far inferior to him.
It's also his own fault for being so tactless and bringing up the auction with the other party. Now, the other party has tricked him again.
Hong Yin forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and said, "Where would I ask you to pay, young man?" As he spoke, Hong Yin turned to a shopkeeper and shouted, "Hong Shan, go to the Nanxiu Auction House immediately and get me VIP room number one."
"……Yes."
The shopkeeper, named Hongshan, replied briefly and then hurriedly left.
Liang Shanbo nodded with satisfaction: "Shopkeeper Hong is truly a close friend of mine. Not bad, not bad. I may need to trouble Shopkeeper Hong to take me there later. Hmm, Shopkeeper Hong should also know that those two guys called the Rouran Elders blocked my way at your shop. If word gets out, it won't have a good impact on your shop."
"..."
Hong Yin felt dizzy again. What do you mean it has a bad impact on our store? You caused this mess yourself, okay? What does this have to do with their store? They blocked you, not the entire Honghuang store.
However, as a participant, he did know that the two elders of Rouran were blocking people at the door. If Liang Shanbo wanted to go to the auction, he would probably need someone to escort him there.
Hong Yin nodded: "Later, I will invite the three Nascent Soul Realm experts who are drinking tea in the pavilion next door, namely the three elders Tang Cai, and myself, to escort you over. I think the two elders of Rouran should not fight the four of us."
"Then thank you very much, Shopkeeper Hong." Liang Shanbo said with satisfaction, "If Shopkeeper Hong wants to find me, he can go to the Spirit Medicine Sect..."
