The master is inhuman; he beat up his senior brother, destroyed the sect, and then left.

Chapter 136 Bargaining

Han Yi sneered inwardly. This guy was really shrewd; he was quite adept at changing his tune depending on the situation. But on the surface, he still pretended to be nonchalant.

"Oh? You can discuss it?"

The waiter nodded hurriedly, saying with a fawning expression, "Of course, we at Jubaozhai are very considerate. As long as you are sincere, sir, the price is negotiable."

At this moment, the shop assistant was thinking that as long as he could make this deal, he would also benefit, so he didn't mind if the price was a little lower.

Han Yi narrowed his eyes, pretending to be deep in thought, but in his heart he was calculating how to get the folding fan at the most suitable price.

He knew he couldn't appear too eager, or he'd be easily manipulated by his colleagues.

"This fan does suit my style, but the price is a bit too high," Han Yi said slowly, secretly observing the shopkeeper's reaction.

The shopkeeper quickly said, "Then, sir, what price do you think would be appropriate? Please give us a price first, and we'll discuss it." Although he hoped for a higher price, he was unwilling to miss the opportunity to buy the broken fan from this scoundrel.

Han Yi was secretly pleased, knowing that he had gained a certain degree of initiative, so he said unhurriedly, "I think one thousand ingots of gold is about right."

Upon hearing this, the waiter looked troubled, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, your price is too steep. One thousand ingots of gold is far too low. We need to make a profit too."

Han Yi shrugged and said, "Never mind then, I'll look at some others." He then made a move to leave.

The waiter panicked and quickly grabbed Han Yi, saying, "No, no, sir, let's discuss it again. How about 1,800 ingots of gold?"

Han Yi chuckled inwardly, knowing that his colleague had begun to concede, but he still shook his head and said, "It's still too high."

The waiter gritted his teeth and finally said, "Fifteen thousand, that's the lowest I can go. Is that alright, sir?"

Han Yi considered it for a moment and felt that the price was about right, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then it'll be 1,500."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that he had finally closed the deal.

The shopkeeper was secretly calculating, wanting to raise the price to make more money, but also afraid of letting Han Yi, a potential "big scapegoat," slip away. Han Yi, on the other hand, was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm, and leisurely said, "One thousand ingots of gold, that price is about right."

The waiter looked troubled and said with a bitter face, "Sir, this price is too low. We need to make a living too. Please be lenient."

Han Yi shrugged nonchalantly, making a move to leave: "Never mind then, I'll look around some more."

The waiter grew anxious and grabbed Han Yi, saying, "No, sir, how about 1,800 ingots of gold?"

Han Yi shook his head, and the shopkeeper gritted his teeth: "Fifteen thousand, that's the lowest I can go!"

Han Yi thought it was feasible and was about to nod when Tuoba Xun'er suddenly shouted, "Five thousand for this broken fan? Are you crazy!"

Han Yi secretly groaned and tried to signal to Tuoba Xun'er, but she ignored him.

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked about the relationship between the two, and Tuoba Xun'er retorted loudly, "I'm his wife! Husband, if you dare to buy this, I'll never forgive you!"

Han Yi understood immediately and quickly agreed, "Don't be angry, my wife, we won't buy it."

The waiter was so anxious he jumped up and down: "Sir, everything has been agreed upon, how can you change your mind?"

Han Yi helplessly spread his hands: "My wife won't allow it, what can I do?"

The shopkeeper made a tough decision: "Ten thousand ingots of gold, take it!"

Tuoba Xun'er protested: "Even a thousand is expensive, you might as well buy me clothes!"

The waiter quickly explained, "Madam, this is a treasure."

Han Yi also sighed, "If my wife is unwilling, there's nothing I can do."

The shop assistant, sweating profusely, relented again: "Eight hundred ingots of gold, is that alright?"

Tuoba Xun'er pulled Han Yi away, saying, "I don't want eight hundred either, let's go and look at something else!"

The waiter panicked and quickly stopped him: "Six hundred, that's the lowest I can go!"

Han Yi and Tuoba Xun'er exchanged a glance before slowly saying, "Alright, six hundred it is."

Although the man was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept it.

Lu Xuefeng handed over six hundred ingots of gold, and the shopkeeper handed over a folding fan.

Tuoba Xun'er was still muttering, but Han Yi remained calm, though he was secretly overjoyed.

Afterwards, they strolled around Jubaozhai and picked out suitable weapons and techniques for Lu Xuefeng and the other two.

The staff at Jubaozhai were extremely attentive, dressed in uniform elegant attire, and their attitude was respectful and professional. They moved among the treasures with great care, meticulously protecting each and every precious item.

Han Yi and his group walked slowly through the hall, their eyes darting over the treasures around them, secretly marveling that their trip to Jubaozhai had not been in vain.

Just then, the same waiter approached with a mysterious look on his face and whispered, "Sir, the first floor of this hall is just some ordinary stuff. The real rare treasures are on the second and third floors."

Han Yi's eyes lit up, and he raised an eyebrow at the waiter, waiting for his words.

The waiter continued, "But to go up to the second floor, you need to purchase more than ten treasures on the first floor. You and your wife have already purchased more than ten, so you are qualified to go up to the second floor."

Han Yi thought to himself that today's trip was worthwhile. He had already obtained such a treasure as a folding fan on the first floor, and there might be even better things on the second floor, which made him very eager to go.

He nodded slightly: "Oh? That's interesting."

Tuoba Xun'er asked curiously, "Are the treasures on the second floor even better than what we bought?"

The shopkeeper chuckled: "Madam, the treasures on the second floor are all rare items, and their value cannot be compared with that on the first floor."

Han Yi glanced at everyone, thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, let's go and take a look at the second floor."

The waiter immediately beamed with joy, bowing and scraping as he led the way: "Alright, sir, this way please."

The group went up to the second floor, only to find that the scene was completely different from what they had imagined.

The space here is much smaller than the first floor, with only a few dozen treasures, and the items are quite far apart. There are also very few treasure hunters.

Han Yi's gaze swept across the area, and the first thing that caught his eye was a strange sword that gleamed with a cold light. The sword's blade was shaped like a swimming dragon, its entire body radiating a chilling light, and the hilt was inlaid with a dazzling gemstone, seemingly containing boundless power.

Han Yi intuitively felt that this sword was extraordinary, its sharpness and unique texture far surpassing the treasures on the first floor.

Not far away, there is an ancient mirror, simple and old, but mysterious patterns are faintly visible on it.

Han Yi's gaze met his, and he felt as if he were deeply captivated by it, his curiosity piqued.

There was also a warm and white jade ruyi, with exquisite and unparalleled carving. Han Yi gently held the jade ruyi, and a cool sensation spread throughout his body, indicating that it contained special energy and was by no means an ordinary object.

Tuoba Xun'er stared in disbelief. Although she did not understand the value of the treasure, she could sense that the aura of the treasure here was much stronger.

The waiter proudly proclaimed, "Sir, you see, although there are fewer treasures on the second floor, they are all of the finest quality, incomparable to those on the first floor."

Han Yi nodded slightly. Although the treasures on the second floor were good, they were still not as good as the folding fan.

At this moment, Su Yao walked gracefully towards a piece of women's armor.

This armor is mysterious and unpredictable, with beautiful curves that fit the female figure perfectly, combining strength and grace.

The carvings are intricate and exquisite, inlaid with ancient inscriptions, and the chest armor is set with a pale blue gemstone, with a faint blue light surrounding it, as if a powerful defensive force is hidden within.

Seeing this, Han Yi called to the shop assistant beside him to buy the armor.

Just as the shopkeeper was overjoyed and about to hand over the armor to Han Yi, a woman dressed in a close-fitting outfit suddenly stopped him. This woman was tall and slender, with her black hair tied up high, and she was incredibly capable. While her face wasn't stunningly beautiful, her brows revealed a resolute and courageous spirit, making her strikingly heroic.

She slightly raised her chin, her eyes cold and arrogant, regarding Han Yi and the shop assistant as mere ants. "This armor, I want it." Her voice was icy and decisive, brooking no argument. She crossed her arms, as if declaring her ownership. The shop assistant's smile froze, his face showing embarrassment and difficulty, his hand hovering in mid-air, at a loss, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
