Chapter 2305: Pie in the Sky

Ye Bufan didn't know if the old eunuch genuinely couldn't produce a million Spirit Stones, but he understood that if he made an exception now, it would be difficult to refuse other powerful figures who came calling in the future.

However, he would be staying in the Royal City for about two months, and maintaining a good relationship with the Grand Chief Eunuch would be beneficial; it was best not to offend him if possible.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Grand Chief Eunuch, how about this: regardless of whether I find the five-colored mystic stone after two months, I will gift a Heaven Mending Pill to your younger brother. What do you think?"

As the Grand Chief Eunuch, Zhao Huiying was undoubtedly an extremely intelligent person and immediately grasped the crucial point.

Ye Bufan's willingness to freely gift a Medicinal Pill already showed him great Face, and he naturally knew when to stop.

Besides, his younger brother had been blind for so many years, so there was no immediate rush.

Zhao Huiying said with a wide smile, "Then I, on behalf of my younger brother, thank Medical Immortal. From now on, if you have any instructions within this Royal City, please feel free to command, and this old servant will surely go all out!"

After Zhao Huiying finished speaking, he took out a communication jade, and the two made a Divine Sense mark between them, then he led the imperial family members back to the palace.

With everyone who needed to leave gone, Ye Bufan also led his group into Tianxing Empire Royal City.

It was already noon. After entering the city, they first found a restaurant for a meal, then began to stroll through the bustling streets.

Most of the people who had gone to greet them at the city gate had already gone to seek news about the five-colored mystic stone.

Furthermore, the entire Royal City had millions of inhabitants, and only a very small fraction of high-ranking individuals had gone out.

Therefore, few people recognized them along the way, which saved them a lot of trouble.

Inside Tianxing Empire Royal City, various stalls and shops stood in abundance, with people coming and going, making it exceptionally lively.

It must be said that on the Kunlun Continent, the prosperity of a city is directly proportional to the richness of its Spiritual Qi.

Compared to the Daxing Empire Imperial City in Tianluo State, this place was even more prosperous, with a greater flow of people and slightly higher prices for goods.

Ye Bufan wanted to find a good shop to settle down, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable one.

"Ye Dage, it looks like there's a shop for sale up ahead."

Jiang Fangzhou pointed forward.

"Let's go take a look."

Ye Bufan led everyone over and indeed saw a notice posted in front of the shop, indicating it was for sale, with a price of two hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

"So cheap!" Hu Yaoyao couldn't help but exclaim.

They had already looked at more than a dozen shops, gaining a preliminary understanding of the shop prices here, which were much more expensive than in the Daxing Empire Imperial City.

For example, the shop in front of them had five floors in total, with the top three floors for living and the bottom two for the shop.

Not only that, but there was also a large courtyard and a small garden behind it, already comparable to a typical mansion.

Based on this scale and previous prices, it should be worth at least five hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, yet the notice stated only two hundred thousand.

Jiang Fangzhou excitedly said, "Yes, it's really cheap, Ye Dage, let's buy it! We've really struck gold this time."

Ye Bufan, however, frowned. As an Earthling, he had seen far too many scams.

As the saying goes, pies don't fall from the sky; if they do, they're iron pies.

This was arguably the most prosperous area within the Royal City. Such a good shop at such a low price, if there wasn't something fishy, it would have been snatched up by locals long ago. How could it be available for an outsider like him to buy?

But he didn't care; in the Face of absolute strength, all tricks and schemes were but fleeting clouds.

Just then, a thin middle-aged man walked over, asking with a smile, "Young Master, are you looking to buy a shop?"

"That's right, I am interested in this shop, it's just this price…"

At this point, Ye Bufan deliberately paused, not continuing to speak.

The middle-aged man, seeing him mention the price, quickly explained, "Young Master, there's no need to doubt. Logically speaking, our shop wouldn't be expensive even if it sold for five hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

However, my master urgently needs money, which is why he's selling it at a low price, because there's no time to wait longer.

Rest assured, our property deeds are all complete; there's absolutely no problem."

Ye Bufan sneered inwardly. He thought such a small trick could deceive him? They were miles apart.

Unless someone was mentally ill, no one would reveal that they urgently needed money.

However, since the other party wanted to play such a small game, he would just play along.

"No, I don't think it's too cheap. I think it's too expensive.

I mean, what are you thinking? Who would complain about something being too cheap when buying? If I really thought it was cheap, I'd just pay up directly. I just think yours is too expensive."

"Uh…" Hearing his words, the middle-aged man felt that all the explanations he had prepared were useless. Why wasn't he following the script?

A property worth at least five hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones was selling for two hundred thousand, and the other party still said it was too expensive.

However, it wasn't easy to find a naive outsider these days, so he couldn't let the other party get away.

"Young Master, have you just arrived at our Tianxing Empire Royal City and are unfamiliar with the situation here?

Our storefront is large and well-located, worth at least five hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Selling it for two hundred thousand is truly very cheap. If you don't believe me, you can inquire around…"

The middle-aged man spoke with great enthusiasm, vigorously promoting the commercial property.

"No matter how much you say, it's useless. I just think it's too expensive, and I don't have that much money…"

When Ye Bufan was young, his family was poor, and he could haggle street vendors into tears. How could he let the other party get the better of him?

And this middle-aged man was clearly less experienced than a street vendor, and immediately said, "Young Master, how much money do you have? We can discuss it."

"I only have one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. If you sell, you sell; if not, then forget it."

Saying this, Ye Bufan made a gesture as if he was about to turn and leave.

"Wait a moment, I'll sell!"

The middle-aged man immediately agreed eagerly, then sighed, "Our master is in urgent need of money, otherwise, this price would truly be a huge loss."

One hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. Ye Bufan was too lazy to waste words with him and directly tossed over a Storage Ring.

The middle-aged man checked the quantity, confirmed it was correct, then signed the house deed, completed all the procedures, and turned to leave, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The surrounding people shook their heads upon seeing this scene, some sneering, some pitying, some gloating.

"Another one got scammed. I really don't know where this fool came from…"

"Exactly! He really thought there was a good deal waiting for him. Buying such a large shop for one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones? Was his brain kicked by a donkey?"

"One hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones just gone, and he really thought he got a good deal…"

The people around whispered, and Ye Bufan naturally heard them clearly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The person who could scam him hadn't been born yet. Just wait, it's still uncertain who will scam whom!
