Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1947 - 1944: People We Can’t Afford to Offend
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
"Do you still want our items now?" Xu Wendong coldly glared at Old Shen, his eyes filled with a playful look.
His gaze was like two sharp blades, piercing straight into the depths of Old Shen’s heart.
"No... I don’t dare anymore." Old Shen’s face turned mournful, his voice trembling, filled with fear.
Yet also full of confusion.
He couldn’t comprehend how someone like him, a strong figure at the Fourth Level of Tongyou Realm, could be beaten to such a state by a "waste" at the First Level of Tongyou Realm.
But he knew well that a wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are unfavorable.
If he didn’t bow his head now, he feared he would suffer even greater misfortune. So he hurriedly clasped his hands together, repeatedly begging for mercy: "You are generous, please spare me."
Li Jiayin saw the situation, stepped forward, gently tugged at Xu Wendong’s clothes, and softly said, "Junior Brother, let’s go, don’t lower ourselves to their level."
Xu Wendong snorted heavily, then let go of Old Shen, and immediately walked with Li Jiayin towards the Netherworld Pavilion.
The Agarwood was useless in their hands, better to sell it directly at the Netherworld Pavilion.
They both understood that the Netherworld Pavilion was wealthy, most likely willing to offer a high price.
Upon seeing Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin leave, Old Shen rose slowly with the support of the Meishan Seven Monsters.
Pain and anger still lingered on his face, his gaze burning with a fiery desire for revenge.
"Bad luck! I didn’t expect to encounter disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect."
"Old Shen, this time you’re unlucky, but you didn’t lose out, after all, you got nine hundred fifty thousand Nether Crystals."
"Yeah, they are people of the Heavenly Nether Sect, let’s let this matter go."
"We little guys simply can’t afford to offend them."
The Meishan Seven Monsters spoke one after another, trying to console him.
Old Shen was one of them, but facing the Heavenly Nether Sect, they were truly powerless, this grievance, they had no choice but to swallow.
"What are you afraid of? I’ve suffered too great a loss; of course, I must retaliate!" Old Shen said viciously, his voice filled with determination.
"Just wait, I, Old Shen, am not so easily bullied!" His eyes burned with rage, puffing angrily as he headed towards the outskirts of the city.
His plan was simple.
As soon as Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin left the city, that would be their death day! Even if they were disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect, so what?
As long as he moved quickly enough and kept it secret, the Heavenly Nether Sect would absolutely not know who had done it.
At this moment, Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin were still unaware that they had been targeted by Old Shen, danger was gradually closing in on them.
They arrived at the Netherworld Pavilion and soon met an elderly man with snow-white hair.
This old man had a slim figure, his face etched with wrinkles of time, his eyes were deep and bright, exuding a sense of intelligence and wisdom.
"Isn’t this Miss Li?" The old man quickly stepped forward, his face full of smiles.
He was the Pavilion Master of the Netherworld Pavilion in Wu Family City, responsible for all affairs of this branch.
Li Jiayin was a regular here, so he naturally knew Li Jiayin’s identity.
"Master Fu, I brought another treasure this time, see if you have any need." Li Jiayin straightforwardly took out the Ten Thousand Years Agarwood.
As soon as this item appeared, a rich and unique fragrance immediately filled the entire Netherworld Pavilion.
This scent was mellow and enduring, seemingly carrying a mysterious power that made people feel joyful in both body and mind.
Instantly.
Master Fu recognized the item.
His eyes widened, full of surprise and joy.
"Is this... Ten Thousand Years Agarwood?" His voice carried a slight tremor, clearly shocked by this sudden delight.
"And such a large piece! This probably values at ten million Nether Crystals!" Master Fu was experienced and knowledgeable, naturally able to discern the preciousness of this Ten Thousand Years Agarwood.
"Give a fair price, I intend to sell." Li Jiayin slowly opened her mouth.
"This..." Master Fu slightly furrowed his brow, fell into contemplation, and soon offered a number: "How about fifteen million Nether Crystals?"
"Hiss—"
Xu Wendong heard this and couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He never expected this fist-sized Ten Thousand Years Agarwood to be worth so much.
He initially thought painting Netherworld Talismans and refining Elixirs would earn him a fortune.
But now it seemed that being a Treasure Hunter specializing in picking up bargains might actually earn more!
This huge wealth gap made him unable to react for a moment.
"Deal." Li Jiayin agreed without hesitation, nodding immediately.
In her view, this price already exceeded her expectations, there was no need to haggle further.
Seeing Li Jiayin agree so readily, Master Fu couldn’t help but slap his forehead in regret.
He secretly lamented that the price he offered seemed too high.
This daughter of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Nether Sect was famously smart, never losing out on a deal.
But now the transaction was completed, he could only sigh quietly, accepting his misfortune.
Soon after, Master Fu had someone bring over a Storage Bag.
Xu Wendong opened it to see a dazzling array of Nether Crystals piled inside.
These Nether Crystals emitted a dark blue glow, like stars sparkling in the night sky, brilliant and eye-catching!
Meanwhile.
Xu Wendong also started seeing Li Jiayin in a new light.
This tiny object, in just one sale, could fetch over a million Nether Crystals.
At this moment, he finally understood why Li Jiayin confidently claimed she was good at picking bargains.
Her sense alone could easily outperform many people.
After all, in this huge city of Wu Family City, most stall owners were loose cultivators.
These loose cultivators were like rootless duckweed, lacking the solid backing of the Heavenly Nether Sect, naturally deficient in substantial assets.
Li Jiayin, having read countless ancient tomes from a young age and knowing many hidden secrets, could discern gems in trades time and again, successfully picking bargains.
"Miss Li, we happen to have a treasure appraisal event today, are you interested in attending?" Master Fu smiled broadly.
"Of course." Li Jiayin nodded lightly.
She came today with the intention of purchasing some treasures for Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong’s foundation was weak, but he had helped their Li Family greatly, so Li Jiayin brought Xu Wendong down the mountain.
"Second floor, please." Master Fu smiled so warmly that his eyes squinted into a line, courteously gesturing for them.
Several people slowly climbed upstairs along the stairs.
The second-floor environment was elegant, resembling an earthly paradise, removed from the noise of the mundane world.
The surroundings were filled with ancient and quaint flavors, the charm of the years settling down.
Walls were adorned with simple and unadorned paintings, the landscapes and birds in the paintings vivid and lifelike. The floor was paved with smooth bluestone, walking on it, one could clearly hear footsteps echoing in the air.
There weren’t many people coming and going, but all were dressed in glamorous attire, wearing brocade clothes, exuding an aura of opulence in their gestures.
Besides the children of various Secular Families, those present also included disciples from the Three Great Forces.
They held noble statuses and controlled substantial wealth.
And the Netherworld Pavilion in Wu Family City was a massive branch, many rare supreme treasures had appeared here, naturally drawing great attraction for them!
