Inside Ba Fang Restaurant.

  Except for Zhang Chenlin who immediately drove away in his cloud car, everyone else followed Mei Niang back to this place.

  Actually, the number of people didn't change much, after all, most people didn't enter the cave, and only a few dozen people died.

  But the atmosphere is worlds apart.

  It's far less lively than before.

  Shen Yi sat down in a corner as usual, but this time Chen Zhong and A Qing were sitting beside him.

  He simply held a teacup and was able to attract countless glances from the dark.

  Earlier, Qingfeng Zhenren was present, so the young man was naturally the focus of everyone's attention. But at this moment, when he went upstairs, among the remaining people, the figure who came out with many Hunyuan strongmen would inevitably arouse the curiosity of many people.

  He rode on a cloud and came, his revealed breath was mixed yuan, but only stayed in the beginning.

  What exactly happened inside the Dongfu that made almost all surviving Zongshi treat it with great respect, even calling it a senior?

  It is said that they protected the lives of many from the hands of three demon kings. Could it be that they were all killed?

  This is also too terrifying.

  The place where Shen Yi sat was clearly a corner, but under the gaze of these monks, it had transformed into something akin to the "first position".

  Listening to the whispers beside him, the man with a black mole turned his eyes around, suddenly poured a glass of fine wine, and then walked towards the corner with the cup in hand.

  "Ah, senior... I am..."

  He respectfully handed over the wine cup and before he could finish speaking, Chen Zhong stood up to intercept him, reminding him in a low voice: "Don't get too close."

  Shen Sheng has suffered serious injuries, but we still need to be on our guard against what we should be guarding against.

  "Oh! I get it!"

  The man with a black mole let out a sly laugh, hastily retreated two steps, held up his wine cup in a toast, and then drank it all in one gulp.

  "Junior Ma Guangshan is not good at interacting with people, but he likes to collect some rare treasures. In the future, if seniors need to find something, just order him."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

  "Senior, this person just likes to collect things, but his eyesight is extremely poor. He was just cheated and now wants to get rid of his useless treasure everywhere. Don't be deceived by his eloquent words."

  It is said that cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents.

  Such an untoward event rarely occurs within the walls of Ba Fang Restaurant.

  The man with the mole turned his head to glare, but saw that the person speaking was also a master of Hunyuan Sect, and his cultivation was far higher than his own. He glared back at him without any fear.

  That man snorted and immediately smiled respectfully at Shen Yi, all of whom had been saved by the young man's life, and would not watch him being deceived.

  "Thanks for reminding."

  Shen Yi nodded in response and immediately looked up at Ma Guangshan beside him.

  He actually has an impression of this person.

  Before that, Qing Hua had specially gone over to watch a scene where the other party was being ridiculed.

  Sit.

  Shen Yi spoke up, indicating that he was now carrying several storage bags full of money, and if there were any good items, he wouldn't mind taking a look.

  As for being deceived... each profession has its own expertise, he glanced at Ah Qing with a sidelong glance.

  "Alright."

  A Qing hastily sat up straight and rubbed his eyes at the same time.

  Seeing this momentum, Ma Guangshan was suddenly panicked. Going out with an appraiser, what kind of background does this young master have to do such a thing?

  But since things have come this far, if I were to leave now, wouldn't that make me a real swindler?

  He smiled wryly, took out a storage bag, and shook it towards the table: "Senior, please forgive me. In the past, I indeed had many good things, including magical treasures that passed through my hands. Now, I'm really in a tight spot. I don't dare to deceive you. There's only this one thing left. If you think it's worth it, just name a price."

  A jade box fell out of the bag.

  Ma Guangshan carefully lifted it up, revealing a plain purple stone about the size of a thumb.

  He opened his mouth just as he was about to explain.

  But Ah Qing shook her head, carefully examined it for a moment, then turned back and whispered: "Top-grade spiritual root true yang qilin stone, unfortunately it has been polluted by evil energy, with traces of attempted removal, but failed. The seal on top comes from the Huang family of Shuangxi Mountain."

  Every time she finished a sentence, Ma Guangshan's mouth would open one more inch.

  Even Chen Zhong was stunned into silence.

  "Is it worth the money?" Shen Yi was only concerned about this.

  "It's worthless." Ah Qing shook her head decisively.

  Upon hearing this, Ma Guangshan was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "You may have seen a lot and know a lot, but you can't lower the price like this."

  "Alright, it's worth something." A Qing's expression didn't change.

  "Honestly, it's fine." Shen Yi said calmly, looking sideways.

  He needs too many things, it's not worth leaving a bad reputation for this little thing, who knows if the treasure he wants is in someone else's storage bag next to him.

  Neither losing nor gaining.

  Only by leaving such an impression can others be willing to come and confess to you.

  "Oh." Ah Qing nodded as if she understood, and then said: "Actually, the value of such a treasure is difficult to evaluate. After all, it's not a top-grade spiritual root born from consciousness, but rather one that has been contaminated by impurities, so there's still a possibility of purifying it."

  "He must be thinking of taking a gamble on whether the Huang family can dispel the evil spirit above."

  "In the end, I lost the bet."

  After hearing this, Ma Guangshan seemed to have been struck in the heart, and he let out a heavy sigh: "I really don't know of any more powerful forces, as long as you're willing to trade with me, a mid-grade spiritual root, no matter what kind it is."

  The difference between high-quality spiritual roots and medium-quality ones is at least dozens of times, it seems that he was indeed forced to be anxious.

  "Adding the law robe on him, plus the pendant around his neck, it's about this price... However, if Brother Shen doesn't have the right connections, I don't suggest you trade with him."

  A Qing carefully examined the man with a black mole and then turned her head towards Shen Yi: "This time it's true."

  Ma Guangshan's face changed again and again, gritted his teeth, and immediately started taking off his clothes, until he was left with only a white undershirt, and then neatly pulled off the pendant and slapped it on the table.

  A master of the Hunyuan sect, yet he has made a fool of himself in front of so many people.

  Everyone else was holding back their laughter: “……”

  Shen Yi glanced at the jade box and handed over the Longyan Jade Flute from her storage treasure.

  "Thanks for saving my life!"

  Ma Guangshan's hands trembled as he received it in his palm, and then the scorched skin cracked open, revealing the storage treasure.

  He was about to leave when he heard a faint voice behind him.

  "Take the clothes and consider them borrowed from me, we'll settle next time."

  Upon hearing this, Ma Guangshan's body stiffened for a moment, then he turned around and grasped his clothes with his hand, nodding vigorously. His voice was slightly weak, but it carried more sincerity: "Thank you, senior."

  Witnessed this scene.

  The others were slightly stunned for a moment.

  The top-grade spiritual root tainted by evil energy, although it's indeed worth the price, but nobody wants it, belongs to the kind of thing that is a pity to sell cheaply, yet can't be sold.

  The young man in a black shirt not only bought it down but also didn't even bother to haggle over the price and even made an appointment for next time.

  Although there was an extraordinary appraiser standing beside him.

  But in this utterly lawless place, being able to trade fairly is already an extremely rare thing.

  In an instant, many people were eager to move.
