Although Lin Yun had already formed an enmity with the God-Slaying Gate, he needed funds, while the God-Slaying Gate Master needed to retrieve his weapon. Naturally, a deal could be struck.
For Lin Yun, this involved no loss. After all, the weapon had originally belonged to the God-Slaying Gate Master. Buying it back simply meant Lin Yun earned a handsome profit for nothing.
Lin Yun turned to the God-Slaying Gate elder. “I merely wonder if your gate master will feel awkward buying it back from me.”
“You…” The elder’s expression changed.
This matter was indeed a sore point for his gate master, a highly inglorious episode for the God-Slaying Gate.
“No more nonsense. Name your price. As long as it is reasonable, everything is negotiable.” Lin Yun leaned back in his chair.
“My gate master offers a flat price: seventy billion Haoyue crystals.” the God-Slaying Gate elder said.
Lin Yun lifted his teacup, took a sip, then spoke. “Too low. At least one hundred billion Haoyue crystals.”
“What? One hundred billion Haoyue crystals? You truly have the mouth of a lion. This weapon originally belongs to my gate master. How do you have the face to demand such a high price?” the God-Slaying Gate elder said angrily.
“Unfortunately, he lacked the ability to keep it. You must understand that the weapon is now in my hands. One hundred billion is not a random figure. If you wish to buy, buy. If not, forget it.” Lin Yun said lightly.
The God-Slaying Gate elder fell silent, clearly communicating with his gate master via transmission artefact.
Moments later, the God-Slaying Gate elder spoke. “The highest offer: eighty billion. Not a crystal more. Though source artefacts are precious, few can afford them. At this price, you are already profiting.”
“Then there is no need to discuss further. I am not particularly eager to sell to your gate master. I can find another buyer.”
“Zitong, let us go.”
Lin Yun rose directly, preparing to leave.
As Lin Yun reached the door, the God-Slaying Gate elder called to his back. “What is your lowest price?”
“I already said: one hundred billion.” Lin Yun replied without turning.
The God-Slaying Gate elder’s face darkened. “You… you will not budge at all? Ninety billion at most. That is our limit. If you will not sell, then leave.”
“Very well. Let your gate master gain a small advantage. Ninety billion, and I will sell. Bring the funds.” Lin Yun turned back at once.
In truth, this price had already met Lin Yun’s expectations.
It was quite profitable.
After all, the weapon had belonged to the God-Slaying Gate Master originally. Only he would pay such a sum.
“This is the ancestral grounds. I did not bring funds. This transaction must be completed through the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.” the God-Slaying Gate elder said.
In the ancestral grounds, where Lin Yun now held immense influence, the God-Slaying Gate Master certainly dared not send someone with tens of billions of Haoyue crystals. If Lin Yun killed and robbed them, it would be a total loss.
This was also why the God-Slaying Gate Master did not come personally.
He absolutely dared not set foot alone in the ancestral grounds now. The current ancestral grounds were no longer as before.
In the past, human race, elf clan, beastman clan, and demon clan mingled together. No single race could dominate the ancestral grounds, for the other races would never allow it.
Now it was different. Lin Yun had the beastman clan and elf clan as backing, plus his own supreme status and two additional human supremes.
The current Lin Yun was a dominant figure in the ancestral grounds.
The Myriad Treasures Pavilion master also spoke. “Friend Lin Yun, my Myriad Treasures Pavilion can act as third party to facilitate this transaction for both sides. If friend Lin Yun trusts my Myriad Treasures Pavilion, you may entrust the weapon to us. Once the transaction is complete, we will deliver the funds to friend Lin Yun.”
“No problem. Here is the weapon. I leave it to the pavilion master.”
Lin Yun directly produced the source artefact long blade and handed it to the master.
Lin Yun had done multiple deals with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. He trusted the master.
“Friend Lin Yun, you may need to wait a few days, for we must go to the border region to complete this transaction.” the master said, accepting the weapon.
“In that case, once the transaction is done, deliver the funds directly to my Infinite Heavenly Palace. Heart City is not far from the Infinite Heavenly Palace. You have visited my Infinite Heavenly Palace before.” Lin Yun said.
“Very well.” the master agreed directly.
Then, Lin Yun produced another forty-five million Haoyue crystals as handling fee and gave them to the master. This was five per thousand of the transaction price.
