Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Then I suggest you sell it in whole. Although the price of retail sales will be higher, you are not familiar with the people here after all. You may not be able to sell them all in a short while. Brother, you also know that this kind of foundation building Although the corpses of early-stage spirit beasts do not decompose so quickly, after being disemboweled, the spiritual energy will soon escape, and over time it will depreciate. What do you think, brother?" The middle-aged bearded man said with a sincere expression. Analyzed: "Furthermore, you must know that selling spirit beast corpses privately is actually illegal. Without a deep background, being discovered by the spirit beast clan of Tianjie South Island is also a trouble! Of course, brother may not be afraid of trouble. I Just a reminder.”

"Oh, let me think about it." Lin Yi responded noncommittally, but did not directly answer how he wanted to sell it.

Although the middle-aged bearded man said it very sincerely, and it sounded like it was true, he was a businessman here after all, and he couldn't be too impatient when dealing with businessmen, especially when there were many businesses coming. When asking for a price, if you make a rash promise to the other party at this time, it will be difficult to negotiate if you want to sell at a higher price later.

Seeing Lin Yi's unshakable expression, the middle-aged bearded man could only sigh helplessly. He was just looking at Lin Yi's face and wanted to get ahead of others and trick Lin Yi into selling it to him at a fixed price. As long as Lin Yi nods a little and follows the rules of the market here, then no matter how much others come up with to compete with high prices in the future, it won't work.

It's a pity that although Lin Yi is young, he has already seen a lot about these things and will not be easily fooled by this kind of thing.

In less than a moment, there were already five or six merchants gathered around Lin Yi who expressed interest in the nine-tailed clouded leopard carcass. Lin Yi secretly smiled, this could be a small auction. .

But this is a good thing. With so many people competing with each other, at least you don’t have to worry about losing money.

Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Lin Yi didn't want to drag it out any longer and make too much noise. After all, he had other business to do next. He immediately handed over to these merchants and said: "Everyone, I plan to sell this Nine-tailed Clouded Leopard in bulk." If you are interested in the corpse, please give me a price. According to the rules of the market, the one with the highest price will get it."

The reason why I choose to sell in bulk instead of retail is naturally to save time. Otherwise, even if I stay here for a whole day, I may not be able to sell everything, let alone finish it within an hour before the inner street opens.

What's more, even if it's not to rush for time, but simply to consider the confidentiality of his identity, Lin Yi will not covet more spiritual jade. After all, there is only one Qiansi Mask. If this face is familiar to others, it will not be easy to use it to hide the identity in the future.

Several merchants looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. Although it is a common market rule that the one with the highest price must pay the highest price. Usually, as sellers, they are happy to see this kind of scene, but now they are in the position of buyers. , which is somewhat disadvantageous for them.

Because they are at odds with each other, in the end the winner will not be any one of them, only Lin Yi, the seller.

However, even if they knew that this deal was difficult to do, they could only go ahead with it. Who makes this nine-tailed clouded leopard a strategic and scarce resource with eye-catching effect! If you just let it go and be bought by other peers present, you may lose a large number of customers in the future. Such losses will be really heavy!

Originally, Lin Yi just thought that this corpse was of no use to him. It would take up space in the jade pendant space. He might as well take the opportunity to sell it in exchange for some spiritual jade. He never expected that such a favorable situation could be formed.

It seems that I am lucky today and I should be able to earn a lot of spiritual jade, just in time to save a little more capital for the next trip to the inner street to bid for the star ink stone.

"Brother, can you please let us check whether the body is complete before bidding?" one of the merchants asked.

Lin Yi nodded: "Of course, except for the inner elixir that I have taken out, I haven't touched any other parts. You can check it yourself."

The merchants present were all insiders. Whether the corpse had been tampered with or not could be easily seen by just looking through it. It was impossible to hide it from their eyes and ears.

Several people looked through it and nodded slightly with satisfaction. Although normally the most important and valuable thing about a spirit beast's corpse is the inner elixir in its body, once the inner elixir is dug out, the rest cannot be said to be worthless, but it will lose at least half of its value.

But for the few merchants present who didn't care about this, as long as the body was complete enough to prove that it was a nine-tailed clouded leopard, and they could use it to win eyeballs, that was enough.

As for whether the inner alchemy is still there, this is a secondary question. Because in the final analysis, even the Nine-tailed Clouded Leopard's inner elixir is just an inner elixir in the early stage of foundation building. There is no essential difference from the inner elixir of other spiritual beasts of the same level. Although its value is not low, it cannot be said to be the same. How rare.

However, these people are merchants after all, and they will never miss this obvious opportunity to bargain: "Although the bodies of the Nine-tailed Clouded Leopard are relatively rare, because the inner elixir has been dug out, the price must be at least one It’s not a small discount, let’s do this, I’ll bid eighty spirit jade.”

"Eighty Lingyu?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows calmly and said nothing.

During his previous two visits to Fangshi, he had seen the price tags of some spirit beast corpses. At this level in the early stage of foundation building, the prices were generally more than a hundred spirit jade, and they were also corpses that did not contain inner elixirs.

Even if these merchants wanted to make a profit from a rare and scarce product like the Nine-tailed Clouded Leopard, they would never be able to get such a low price.

The price of eighty spirit jade was simply bullying a layman like him!

Although Lin Yi didn't speak, his disapproval was already obvious. The merchant who just made a bid couldn't help but secretly thought that he had made a mistake and wished he could slap himself on the spot.

He subconsciously wanted to squeeze the maximum benefit from Lin Yi out of professional habits, but he didn't realize it for a while. There were so many colleagues around him eager to try. This was not a situation where he could lower the price at all. It would be enough to increase the price!

As expected, the middle-aged bearded man who was one step ahead of them all immediately sneered and said: "Eighty spirit jade? Is this a habit of collecting rags? Brother, you'd better not waste time with these poor and whiny guys. Yes, feel free to sell it to me for one hundred and fifty spiritual jade, how about it?"
