Chapter 419 Pursue Taoism through Painting
Wang Lai and Shao Shuai look at Gao Ge in a different way now.
They thought Gao Ge was only a nameless rogue cultivator but now they realize that they were wrong.
Wang Lai can’t help sighing, “No wonder you have to wear a mask. You’ve got so many good things on you. If I were you, I must wear a mask too.”
Gao Ge laughs, “Mr. Wang, I am so flattered.”
“I really mean it.” Wang Lai is a man with a sense of propriety. When he sees the Hot Beads and heavy armor of Gao Ge, he is not as valiant as before. Instead, he says, “Ge Qian, these are good things. I cannot afford them all. Yet, there are auctions at the black market. You can auction them up over there. The highest bidder gets the items. Any discerning buyer will not let go of such treasures.”
“Yeah, that’s what I was going to do.” Gao Ge nods his head.
“I’ll buy the heavy armor.” Right at the moment, a clear voice comes.
The people at present turn around to look at the girl wearing a fox mask in surprise.
“Miss, you want this?”
“Can’t I?” The girl walks forward and stares at Wang Lai, saying, “You don’t want it anyway. Can’t I take it?”
Gao Ge smiles and says, “Miss, the heavy armor is good stuff but it is not light.”
“It’s okay. I buy it for my father.”
“Miss, first come, first served.” Shao Shuai says impatiently, “Since you want the heavy armor too, let’s bid for it. The higher bidder gets it. What do you think?”
“Sure.” The young man is okay with the suggestion.
Girl as she is, she does thing neatly with determination. As to this aspect, she is somewhat similar to Xia Lu.
Shao Shuai is a gentleman somehow. Otherwise, based on what Wang Lai just said, the girl can never get any chance.
Wang Lai stands aside sensibly but he doesn’t leave. Instead, he says to Gao Ge, “Ge Qian, how many Hot Beads do you have?”
“I have never counted them.”
He hasn’t counted them?
He has to count them!
Are his Hot Beads too many to count?
“Alas, I admire you so much. I knew about the secret realm of snow terrain back then but regrettably, I didn’t have time to go there. Yet, it is said that the things cannot taken out without the storage space?”
“Yeah, it is true.” Gao Ge nods his head.
“That makes me feel better.” Wang Lai feels delighted then.
Shao Shuai looks to Gao Ge again.
Gao Ge has storage space and so many treasures.
Shao Shuai can’t believe that he is only a rogue cultivator.
However, it is none of his business. He doesn’t care about it. Instead, he just shakes his folding fan and touches his ring to take a sword out of it.
“Ge Qian, what do you think of the sword?”
Gao Ge takes a glance at the sword and then grins, “Not bad.”
In other words, he has no interest in it.
Without hesitation, Shao Shuai says, “Plus 100 spiritual jades.”
To be honest, 100 spiritual jades are of high value, but Gao Ge is still not intrigued. Despite the high value, Gao Ge has a lot of spiritual jades. Besides, for him, they are not of much use, which are no better than a piece of snow lotus or some serpent meat.
“Mr. Shao, if you have similar heavy armor, how about me giving you 500 spiritual jades in exchange of it?” Gao Ge asks.
Shao Shuai heaves a sigh, “It seems that you don’t even care about what I offer at all?”
Gao Ge smiles in silence.
“Now it is time for me to give the offer?” The girl asks.
“Wait!” Shao Shuai says, “I have other good things!”
“Then can you take them out in one time? Why are you so sluggish?” The girl is a bit bad-tempered.
Shao Shuai is so furious that he argues with the girl angrily, “Do you know how to make a deal? If I take out all the good things in one time, what if he raises the price instantly? This is how people do business. You must increase the bargaining chip bit by bit. Should I offer the stupid sword, he just agrees on the deal? Then it will be a big win for me!”
Gao Ge is greatly outraged.
Oh crap, even Shao Shuai thinks of the sword stupid, but he still offers it to Gao Ge.
It is clearly a contemptuous act!
“Well, did I say anything wrong?” Shao Shuai looks at Gao Ge.
“It is your last chance to increase your offer.” Gao Ge says with a grim face.
Though others cannot see how grim Gao Ge’s face is.
Shao Shuai heaves a sigh.
He is so careless in talking!
“Great. I don’t have much time to listen to you increasing your offer nonstop.” The girl also says.
“Okay. In this case, I must show you my ace in the hole!” Shao Shuai shouts.
“Even if you show your ‘whole’, it is your last chance anyway. Think carefully.” Gao Ge says.
Shao Shuai suddenly feels afraid.
Gao Ge is speechless. If he doesn’t intimidate Shao Shuai, he may be fooled again!
“This is really good.” Shao Shuai takes out a box, “This is a Master Pill. When one tries to break through the realm of Master, with one Master Pill, he will have better chance of breaking through. At least, the chance will be increased by 50%. Basically, one Master Pill will guarantee one to break through 100%.”
“Oh yeah?” Gao Ge feels intrigued.
He should be able to break through the realm of Master?
But it is not strength but the power of stars that he has. He is not sure whether the pill can work on him, but he has to admit that it is of great value indeed.
“Now is it my turn?” The girl asks.
“Do you have anything better than my Master Pill?” Shao Shuai doubts.
The girl closes her eyes then. When she opens her eyes again, a long and narrow box shows up in her hand.
“What is inside?” Shao Shuai asks.
“A painting.”
Shao Shuai bursts out laughing, “Miss, are you kidding? We are all cultivators. This is not an antique fair. Why do you take out a painting? Even if your painting is drawn by Wu Daozi or Tang Bohu, it doesn’t help at all!”
The girl glances at him and sneers, “What an ignorant bumpkin!”
“What?” Shao Shuai feels a bit irritated.
He has never been called as bumpkin before!
“This is a painting drawn by an ancient martial cultivator at the late peak status of the realm of Great Master, who pursues Taoism through painting.” The girl says, “As long as you urge the painting, the flying boat in it will appear and the boat can get you to travel a thousand li in a single day.”
Gao Ge is astonished.
Pursuing Taoism through painting itself is extremely hard.
And the painter is even at the late peak status of the realm of Great Master?
To be honest, he is not only intrigued.
He is excited!
“Do you even need to compete with me?” The girl looks at Shao Shuai and asks in a cold voice.
