Chapter 1584 - 1587: Silly Girl, Good Deals Aren't That Easy to Find
The girl with the bright eyes, thrilled, and the proud young lady Abi holding Shen Qiang's arm, mocked with satisfaction, making Zong Zijin and Yan Xianghui blush but unable to retort, as their previous ridicule was now too clear to argue against.However, unwilling to concede, Zong Zijin angrily said.
"Shen Qiang, don't get complacent! You and this old fellow are cooperating to put on a show, aren't you? He's here to help you show off."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xianghui immediately fell silent.
The Four Little Dan Masters' Yu Xinghuo had previously visited to compete in Dan Fighting with Shen Qiang and was clearly adversarial towards him.
Therefore, upon hearing this, Yan Xianghui, one of the Cultivation Five Tigers, simply couldn't believe Yu Xinghuo would come to support Shen Qiang, as even if Yu Xinghuo couldn't act arrogant in front of Shen Qiang, he was still renowned among other cultivators.
For instance, even Yan Xianghui had to respectfully call him "Senior Yu Xinghuo."
"This is clearly a plant worth a hundred bucks, the Brocade Vine, and you're falsely claiming it's the Hundred Ganoderma Vine, isn't this outright deception?" Zong Zijin protested, "This stuff here is everywhere in the hall, selling for a dollar per pot, as many as you want. You think I'd believe you just because you're collaborating?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled faintly, unperturbed, while Yu Xinghuo couldn't help but get angry.
He glanced arrogantly at Zong Zijin and said, "Young man, don't pretend to know what you don't. You just get a pot of Brocade Vine and compare it with the Hundred Ganoderma Vine in Shen Qiang's arms, and you'll see it's clear. Although they look similar superficially, a careful comparison with the naked eye reveals the differences."
On hearing this, Zong Zijin sulked but said, "Fine, you'll see."
With that, he ran off to buy a pot of Brocade Vine.
The stunning campus belle Qin Yurou watched this scene, with her elegant brows slightly furrowed, yet observed it intently.
Subsequently, after a careful comparison, not only did Qin Yurou's beautiful eyes brighten, but Zong Zijin also turned pale instantly, while the pretty Abi remained clueless.
"Got it? The Brocade Vine's leaf veins are feathered, while the Hundred Ganoderma Pill's leaf veins are webbed. At a glance, it might appear like Brocade Vine, but with careful observation, the difference is quite apparent. So young man, to put it bluntly, even I, an old hand, can't measure up to Shen Qiang; you're even further behind, so take your time to learn."
Upon hearing this, the young lady Abi secretly scrutinized the leaf closely, and her eyes sparkled brightly with delight, "Haha, I knew some people just wouldn't understand, claiming deceit outright when it's not, haha, Shen Qiang is simply awesome, so effortlessly scoring a money-maker, while some seasoned ones still end up with nothing."
Zong Zijin's face twisted with anger.
But he was unable to rebut.
Because prior to the comparison, the Hundred Ganoderma Vine Shen Qiang bought indeed looked no different from the Brocade Vine, but when placed together, the disparity became immediately evident.
As they remained silent, Shen Qiang turned to the shy yet pleasantly surprised Qin Yurou and smilingly asked, "It's nice to be here once and with an early start, so shall we do what we came for? What do you plan on buying this time?"
Qin Yurou chuckled and replied, "I didn't come intending to buy anything specifically, just browsing around."
Shen Qiang smiled, "Then let's carry on."
Yep!
Both Qin Yurou and Abi nodded joyfully.
Seeing Shen Qiang, accompanied by Medicine King Valley's Young Master Qin Yurou and Abi, stroll forward, paying no mind to them, Yu Huoxing sighed helplessly, Zong Zijin gritted his teeth, and Yan Xianghui felt resigned. At that moment, Shen Qiang suddenly halted a few steps away and laughed with Abi beside him, "Want to earn some pocket money?"
The girl Abi, taken aback, asked, "What for? What's going on?"
With a deft hook of his foot, Shen Qiang slid a small pot of flowers toward Abi's feet.
"Buy it."
Abi blinked, unsure of the plant's identity, but promptly paid 20 bucks for the pot.
The moment she got it, Qin Yurou grinned and congratulated Abi, "Congrats, Abi! This pot of Starry Grass can be refined into Spirit Clearing Powder, worth over thirty thousand at the least, enough for half your year's allowance."
Upon hearing this, Abi's eyes lit up with joy, "Really!"
Qin Yurou nodded.
Overjoyed, Abi beamed and charmingly gazed at Shen Qiang, saying, "Shen Qiang, I knew it, you're truly good to me."
Observing the graceful yet dusky-skinned Abi gazing at Shen Qiang with flirtatious eyes, Zong Zijin grew more enraged.
Driven, he accelerated past Shen Qiang and the others, eyes gleaming, thinking furiously, "I must find better things, I will succeed, I'm the senior apprentice of Medicine King Valley, my eye power can't be inferior to Shen Qiang."
"Mad, Shen Qiang's shameless act, using thirty thousand worth of Starry Grass to curry favor with Abi, she's mine, Qin Yurou is mine too, I won't allow him to outshine me. I will buy out all rare plants so he gets nothing."
Now determined, with Yan Xianghui accompanying him, Zong Zijin hurried ahead of Shen Qiang, Qin Yurou, and the others. Likewise, Yu Xinghuo, one of the Four Little Dan Masters, decisively moved ahead of them, prompting an alert Abi to urge Shen Qiang forward, "Quick, we can't let them get ahead, what if there's something valuable? If they buy it, then what?"
With a chuckle, Shen Qiang replied, "Silly girl, you think there's so much easy gain? There are at least a dozen cultivators in this hall, all keen on striking deals. Probably, each one's memories of botanical encyclopedias are thoroughly memorized. Under these circumstances, finding bargains isn't impossible, but it's limited."
"Which is why we need to be at the forefront," retorted the girl Abi, "If you hadn't bought the Hundred Ganoderma Vine first, Yu Xinghuo definitely would, and he'd profit massively. So getting treasures isn't something we can fall behind in."
Shen Qiang laughed, "Alright, little miser, but let me remind you, striking deals relies on knowledge as much as luck. Without proper knowledge, you won't find bargains, but rather suffer losses."
The girl Abi pouted playfully, "With you around, I'm not afraid of losing out."
Shen Qiang chuckled.
Up ahead, Zong Zijin purchased a pot of flowering yellow plants, then smugly turned to Shen Qiang, praising himself, "Nine hundred bucks for a pot of Rain Dew Yellow Bell Flower, worth millions, that's eye power that even I admire!"
