Chapter 49: A Condition

“Sold!”

This single word “sold” left Su Jingzhen stunned.

For a moment, he couldn’t react to Feng Qingya’s sudden move.

“Qingya just said that as long as Master dares to haggle, I’ll dare to sell. How about it? Isn’t that a friendly deal?”

Feng Qingya once again revealed her charming smile.

However, Su Jingzhen’s expression had already returned to its calm state.

From 100 mid-grade spirit stones, the price suddenly dropped to 100 low-grade spirit stones.

If Feng Qingya didn’t have any other motives, Su Jingzhen would never believe it.

He directly said, “Miss Feng, you might as well reveal the additional conditions as well, so I can have a clear understanding. Otherwise, if I really buy this item with 100 low-grade spirit stones, I’ll feel uneasy in my heart.”

When he said this, Su Jingzhen’s tone remained calm.

Su Jingzhen was indeed a small fry in the cultivation world, and this was only temporary.

However, in terms of understanding human nature and other aspects, Feng Qingya trying to manipulate him would not be easy.

In fact, after hearing this, Feng Qingya became even more uncertain about her previous judgment.

Was this really the composure a cultivation newbie should have?

At this moment, Feng Qingya even felt that she was being led by the nose by the other party.

Every step she took was in rhythm with Su Jingzhen’s pace.

This feeling made Feng Qingya, who was used to being in control, feel a bit uncomfortable.

She smiled and said, “Dealing with a clever person like Master is indeed effortless and relaxing. Although Qingya does have a certain say in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, one hundred middle-grade spirit stones are indeed not a small number.”

“Qingya has a small additional condition here. If Master agrees, you can have this ‘Treasured Brick’ for just 100 low-grade spirit stones.”

Good guy, the nickname for this brick had changed to “Treasured Brick” again.

Su Jingzhen didn’t mind and continued, “Miss Feng, please go ahead and say it.”

Since he had already established a connection with Feng Qingya, he would probably come to visit her often after Shuang Jiang left. As long as Feng Qingya’s request wasn’t excessive, he would likely agree.

At this point, Feng Qingya didn’t hesitate either.

She directly said, “To be honest, I have great confidence in Master’s alchemy talent, so I hope that when Master becomes a fifth-rank alchemist, you can refine a pill for me!”

When she said this, her face had already lost its professional smile, and her expression became extremely serious.

Without waiting for Su Jingzhen’s response, she added, “If Master agrees to this, I need you to take a great oath!”

Under the veil, Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow.

Become a fifth-rank alchemist?

His current wooden spiritual roots were already at the Profound level, and with the support of his Profound-level wooden spiritual roots, breaking through to a third-rank alchemist should be manageable.

In the future, his Profound-level spiritual roots might not be enough, but with the existence of his Golden Finger, he would definitely upgrade his spiritual roots level in the future.

So as long as he could survive, becoming a fifth-rank alchemist wouldn’t be his limit.

Moreover, by then, Feng Qingya would only need him to refine a single pill.

This task wouldn’t be difficult for him at that time.

Agreeing to this now would definitely be beneficial!

In a very short time, Su Jingzhen had already thought through the pros and cons.

He didn’t hesitate and directly nodded at Feng Qingya, “If Miss Feng only has this one requirement, then we can make a deal!”

As soon as Su Jingzhen said this, the light in Feng Qingya’s eyes brightened even more.

【Remaining usable points: 219】

At the same time, a golden font appeared in front of Su Jingzhen again.

He suddenly realized that if he could improve his alchemy skills and had enough spirit stones, he could obtain even more points from Feng Qingya than from Shuang Jiang.

After all, Feng Qingya was a merchant at heart, and her emotional manipulation seemed simpler than Shuang Jiang’s.

As long as he revolved around the concept of profit, he might be able to get more benefits from her.

“Master, there’s one more thing you haven’t done,” Feng Qingya reminded him again.

Su Jingzhen was taken aback, then smiled.

He directly used the highest standard of the cultivation world, pointing one hand to the sky and one hand to the earth.

His expression suddenly became serious, “I swear on the great dao that if I become a fifth-rank alchemist, I will refine a pill for Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s Feng Qingya! If I go back on my word, I will be punished by the heavens and the earth!”

Most cultivators took oaths seriously because the great dao would truly record their vows.

If they didn’t fulfill their vows when the conditions were met, they would really suffer the consequences of the great dao’s backlash.

That’s why cultivators rarely made promises, and after making a promise…

Most cultivators were able to keep their promises.

【Emotional Connection +2】

【Remaining usable points: 221】

Su Jingzhen had just taken the great oath, and the points from Feng Qingya had increased by two again.

This made him extremely happy in his heart.

If he could get a streak going, that would be even better.

At this time, Feng Qingya was holding the exquisite box on the table and walked in front of Su Jingzhen.

“It’s yours.”

“Oh, wait, Master still needs to pay me 100 low-grade spirit stones.”

“Although the spirit stones are few, we did agree on a price, and I can’t not collect it.”

As she said this, she unintentionally threw another charming glance at Su Jingzhen.

“Reasonable, indeed!”

Su Jingzhen subconsciously avoided looking at Feng Qingya’s eyes.

He quickly took out 100 low-grade spirit stones.

Then, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and took the box from Feng Qingya’s hand.

However, during the handover, Feng Qingya lightly touched his hand again.

“Clear heart like water, clear water is the heart, gentle breeze without waves, no ripples…”

The “Clear Heart Sutra” was once again silently recited in his heart.

“The transaction is complete, I bid you farewell!”

After putting the box away in his storage bag, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and directly left the private room.

When not discussing business, he was afraid of Feng Qingya’s full-force charm attack.

He knew that this woman definitely had a charm technique.

If he stayed too long, even the “Clear Heart Sutra” might not be able to withstand it.

Looking at Su Jingzhen’s hurried departure, Feng Qingya smiled lightly again.

“Ha, men.”

“There’s still a long way to go…”

She gently touched her delicate, porcelain-like face, and Feng Qingya was as confident as ever.

In fact, with her skills and abilities, she could have forcefully investigated Su Jingzhen’s true identity and background.

But she enjoyed this kind of hunting-like thrill.

However, at this time, Feng Qingya still didn’t know that in her game with Su Jingzhen, who would ultimately be the hunter, and who would be the prey?
