Chapter 3801 Selling a Spot

Seeing that the other party was actively inquiring about the price, Ye Bufan knew he had succeeded. He smiled slightly and held up one finger.

"Ten million? Alright, this Elder agrees!"

Wei Changsong immediately agreed readily.

Ye Bufan shook his head: "Elder, it's not ten million, it's one billion."

"One… one billion?"

Hearing this number, Wei Changsong was stunned, almost jumping up from the ground.

Even Fairy Chixia, who had been silent beside him, showed a look of astonishment, clearly shocked by such a large number.

"Nonsense, how is this possible?"

Coming back to his senses, Wei Changsong was furious, "What do you take celestial crystals for? Are they stones? To ask for so much, it's simply a joke!"

"Elder, don't be angry yet. If there's a price, it's not extortion. Let's talk slowly."

Ye Bufan wore a faint smile, "One billion is indeed a lot, but you have to consider what you're buying.

Didn't the Elder just say that by conceding, we gave up a great opportunity to make a name for ourselves? For a Young man, this is definitely a huge loss.

Since that's the case, isn't it not too much for us to ask for one billion?"

"This…"

Wei Changsong's expression froze, a little awkward, as those words indeed came from his mouth.

"That won't do either. One billion is really too much. I can only offer a maximum of one hundred million."

This old man had also carefully calculated. This match was thirteen into seven.

Once the Wei Family could qualify, they would definitely become one of the outstanding among the Three Sects, Five Factions, Seven Great Families, bringing endless honor. Even if he spent some celestial crystals, he could still account for it when he returned.

"That won't do. If that's the case, we'd be losing money."

Ye Bufan began to calculate for Wei Changsong by counting on his fingers, "Elder, don't forget, the reward for the champion of this Hundred Champions Competition is three hundred million celestial crystals.

The second place gets two hundred million, and even the third place gets one hundred million celestial crystals.

One plus two plus three, that's a full six hundred million. Add in the loss of reputation, and the spiritual compensation, isn't asking for one billion not too much?"

Ye Bufan spoke eloquently, like a flowing river.

As an Earthling, even if he hadn't engaged in pyramid schemes, he had definitely seen fat pigs run even if he hadn't eaten fat pork.

In terms of eloquence and salesmanship, even if the other party was an Immortal Venerable expert, they couldn't compare.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment, I'm a bit confused!"

Wei Changsong was truly overwhelmed by his words and quickly raised a hand to stop him.

He patted his forehead, calmed down, and re-examined the sequence of events.

"Young Master Ye, what you're saying isn't right. It was only Fairy Dianmo who conceded, and it has nothing to do with the other people's matches.

How can you attribute all the losses of your Sect to this? It's clearly inappropriate."

"Elder, what you're saying isn't right."

Ye Bufan continued to speak eloquently, without changing his expression.

"You might not know, Dianmo is the strongest one in our Sect. Her cultivation has already reached the Peak of Immortal Lord.

She has always been hiding her strength, precisely to burst forth in the final championship battle and catch her opponent off guard.

But now, under these circumstances, she has conceded. The remaining others will definitely be greatly affected in terms of morale.

The competition relies on morale. If there's no morale, how can they win? So, my calculation of six hundred million is perfectly accurate…"

His words were like bullets, continuous and unending, leaving the surrounding crowd dumbfounded.

When he had said enough, Ye Bufan asked: "Elder, don't you agree with my calculation? Isn't this the logic?"

"Uh…"

Wei Changsong felt another headache and instinctively nodded, "It seems to be the case."

Situ Dianmo secretly found it amusing, and a thought popped into her mind: this old man has been tricked into lameness.

Ye Bufan then said: "Since you also agree with this logic, isn't it not too much for me to ask for one billion?"

"This…"

Hearing this number, Wei Changsong immediately became much more sober.

"No, no, one billion is absolutely too much. How about this, our Wei Family is willing to offer three hundred million.

Otherwise, if we take out too many celestial crystals, even if I am the Grand Elder, I won't be able to account for it to the Family Head after returning to the Family."

Ye Bufan showed a sly smile: "Elder, actually, you don't need to worry about that. This money doesn't entirely need to come from your Wei Family."

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

Wei Changsong became increasingly confused. He felt he had lived for tens of thousands of years, but his mind clearly couldn't keep up with this Young man in front of him.

He was clearly selling the spot to him, so why wouldn't the Wei Family need to pay for it? What was going on?

"Elder, one's mind needs to be flexible."

Ye Bufan had a mischievous smile, "Don't forget, there are so many gambling houses in Yuangu City.

This news is only known to us. At this time, if you go and place some bets, the Elder will surely understand the rest…"

After he finished speaking, Wei Changsong's heart immediately stirred. Wei Wenshuo was currently clearly at a disadvantage compared to Situ Dianmo, and even the gambling houses' odds reflected this.

If they turned defeat into victory and he placed some bets, he would definitely make a huge profit then.

However, he hesitated. Being one of the Three Sects, Five Factions, Seven Great Families, if they used this method to fleece others, it wouldn't sound good for the Family's reputation if it got out.

Ye Bufan immediately saw through the old man's concerns and said: "Elder, don't think too much. You can completely find someone to place bets anonymously.

Moreover, besides the Wei Family and Bixia Sect, there are still more than a dozen gambling houses. If you spread it out, the cost each one needs to bear won't be much."

"Uh…"

At this moment, Wei Changsong was completely tempted. This was indeed a method. If he paid so much cash to buy this spot, making a profit from it was perfectly justifiable.

However, as an old fox, he certainly couldn't admit such a thing openly.

He held out a hand: "No matter what, we can only offer five hundred million celestial crystals. This is the limit, no more."

"Deal!"

Ye Bufan immediately agreed. In fact, his psychological expectation was only three to five hundred million, and this number was already very good.

"But Elder, we have an agreement beforehand: the celestial crystals must be paid first."

He was now eager to get this money to attend tomorrow night's auction, so he naturally couldn't drag it out until after the competition.

Moreover, while one should not harbor malicious intentions, one must be on guard against others.

For a large Family like the Wei Family, if they reneged after winning the competition, he would have no recourse at all, especially since the other party was an Immortal Venerable expert.

"This… this isn't good, is it…?"

Wei Changsong looked troubled. He had no intention of defaulting, but he was also afraid that the other party would not keep their word.

If they took the celestial crystals and then defeated Wei Wenshuo, he would have nowhere to air his grievances.

"Family Head Wei, how about this, I can act as a guarantor."

At this moment, Fairy Chixia, who had been standing by, walked over, "If Young Master Ye takes the celestial crystals and doesn't concede, these five hundred million celestial crystals will be borne by my Bixia Sect."

Her words were resolute. If Ye Bufan had asked the Bixia Sect for it, they could also afford five hundred million celestial crystals.

But since the other party didn't do so, it was perfectly justifiable for her to act as a guarantor, as Ye Bufan's kindness to the Sect was truly immense.

"Since Fairy Chixia is acting as a guarantor, then there's no problem."

Having known each other for so many years, Wei Changsong still trusted Fairy Chixia's character, and moreover, the Bixia Sect stood behind her.

He no longer hesitated and directly took out a Storage Ring, which contained a full five hundred million middle-grade celestial crystals.
