BXBX NOVEL Chapter 966 Bearded Man
Jin Rou casually picked up an item, a small box at that, and said, "You actually put this on sale, that\'s why."
It was an old box, an ugly one that you wouldn\'t think of buying. It was also releasing a foul and indescribable smell. No one would bother look and observe at it, much less touch it like Jin Rou did.
The bearded man was surprised but he didn\'t show it, "Oh? Customer knows this old box?"
"What do you think?" Jin Rou smirked, "I\'ll take it. Name your price."
The bearded man did not respond immediately. He looked to be calculating how much should he sell it. After all, it was a priceless treasure but useless to him.
Eventually, he raised his hand and showes his palm, "5 Immortal Herbs, and you can take it."
"You\'re greedy." Jin Rou laughed and raised his two fingers, "2 Immortal Herbs. Take it or leave it."
"I\'ll be losing out in this transaction if you take it for 2 Immortal Herbs." The bearded man snorted and said, "Five. My price is fixed."
In Dragon Sky, the currency used was herbs. There were two types of herbs that could be found here, the Myriad and Immortal. Usually, the Myriad Herbs were the most used as Immortal Herbs were very rare and limited. Only the big shots here and ancestors had a few or several of them.
Five Immortal Herbs was truly a sky-high price if you look at the old box in terms of face value.
"You want five Immortal Herbs for something that you can\'t even use?" Jin Rou chuckled, "Fine, then. I don\'t plan to buy it anymore. Keep it like your heirloom or whatever."
It\'s not like Jin Rou needed that old box. He was just curious if Han Li\'s speculations regarding the item inside was truly that. So how could he take it for Five Immortal Herbs? Buying it for two was already reasonable. After all, Immortal Herbs were very limited.
The bearded man didn\'t expect that Jin Rou would give up just like that. Why didn\'t he try to lower the price? He was going to accept it if Jin Rou lowered it to three Immortal Herbs. After all, he had really no use for the old box and he knew he didn\'t have the power to open what\'s in it.
Rather than rotting it here, he wanted someone to take it. Jin Rou was about to leave when he suddenly said, "Fine, two herbs of Immortal. Take it."
Jin Rou smirked and shook his head, "Since you disappointed my sincerity, one Immortal Herb and I\'ll take it."
"You!" The bearded man had never seen a vicious scammer as this and he almost puked blood. How could he sell it for one Immortal Herb?
"What? You will disappoint my sincerity again? Then..." Jin Rou didn\'t finish his sentence when the bearded man exasperatedly said, "Fine! Fine! Take it for 1 Immortal Herb and never let me see your face again!"
He was afraid that Jin Rou would reduce it to 1 Myriad Herb. He would really die if that\'s the case. He tossed the old box to Jin Rou and accepted the Immortal Herb. After inspecting it, he shooed Jin Rou away, "Scram, I don\'t want to run out of business here."
Jin Rou laughed and kept the old box. He casually said to the bearded man, "Since you let me buy the old box for a small price, I won\'t tell a tale to your ancestors in Immortal Dynasty that you are playing around here as a businessman."
When the bearded man heard that, his covered eyes suddenly looked at Jin Rou who was leaving. He was sure that his disguise was perfect, how could that young man saw through him?

"Young Noble, that person is from Immortal Dynasty?" Fiarra asked. They were a lineage far from Dalensale as they were managing their own continent.
Although Thousand Elf Kingdom and Immortal Dynasty were both lineages, there was a distinctive disparity between the two. Immortal Dynasty had created four Era Emperors and the first one was part of the Godlister. Take note, emperors in Godlist consisted only of those strongest emperors of the entire world.
"Yes. Actually, he is like you. He is destined for the throne but instead of solidifying his position in their dynasty, he is here playing around selling scraps." Jin Rou chuckled. It was not new that heirs running around to play to avoid responsibility. In fact, he was like that too. He ran away from home.
"But eventually, I need to inherit the throne or else the Serafinio will be at risk." The heavy responsibility of being an heiress was huge and almost unbearable. You couldn\'t make a mistake or it would lead to series of chain reactions with worse outcomes.
"That guy is destined, too. No matter what, he will inherit the Immortal Dynasty." Jin Rou took out the old box, "People are born to have responsibilities in life. Be it the mortals and cultivators, each would carry a responsibility no matter what."
Fiarra looked at the old box and tried to figure out what\'s good with it, "What can possibly contain this small box?"
"Curious?" Jin Rou smirked, "You cannot see how amazing this box is because only the deepest of the deepest eyes can do. Not even 12-Words Era Emperors are qualified to known what\'s inside unless they have the means to open it."
"But you know it, right, Young Noble?" Fiarra asked.
"Maybe, maybe not." Jin Rou didn\'t give a direct answer, "But if you can trace the origin of the box, you will assume something terrifying."
