Chapter 596: Chapter 603: Something Strange, Something Very Strange! (First update)
Something strange?
Yang Zhen was taken aback, even if something was odd, he still had to sell the two hundred flying boats in his hands, or else wouldn’t they go to waste?
“Ladies and gentlemen, did you hear that? The Heavenly Snow Saint Lord himself said that there’s something strange about this energy upheaval. It might even be man-made, and there could even be some treasures emerging. Don’t miss out as you pass by. A Dirty Detachment mini flying boat for fifty purple crystals, an absolute bargain!”
“Grass, wasn’t it just ten purple crystals a while ago?”
“Exactly, this increase is too drastic, why don’t you just rob us?”
The crowd was raging, furiously digging faster through mid-air, glaring intently at Yang Zhen as if they were about to loot him.
Yang Zhen didn’t flinch at all, these practitioners’ cultivation wasn’t high to begin with, some were even at the Tribulation Crossing Period. Floating aimlessly within the energy storm like insignificant duckweed, who were they trying to scare?
“To the fellow who spoke, the Sao Saint must criticize you today. Do you know what scarcity commands dear means? Do you know the saying ‘fortune is often found where least expected’? The Sao Saint painstakingly worked night and day for half a year to create these twenty Dirty Detachment mini flying boats, do you think that was easy?”
Cheap Cat stumbled, looking at Yang Zhen, who was dead serious and even slightly vexed and wronged, muttered: “Shit, this kid is really something!”
Clearly, he had only taken one night to forge two hundred flying boats, but now it had become half a year’s nights?
But Cheap Cat knew that these people would believe if told that it took half a year to create them. If Yang Zhen honestly admitted that he made two hundred in one night, they would definitely curse him out.
There should be a limit to boasting, shouldn’t there?
In the end, Yang Zhen and Cheap Cat managed to sell all their flying boats. Particularly, the guy who would rather jump off than buy Yang Zhen’s boat dug out a storage ring from somewhere, which surprisingly contained two hundred purple crystals, and bought two more in one fell swoop.
For this, Yang Zhen even gave him a 1% discount, as a little thanks to this patron.
Cheap Cat looked disdainfully at Yang Zhen and grumbled: “You’ve sold it, and now you’re giving him back two purple crystals, does he owe you a debt of gratitude or something?”
“Thank you so much!” The practitioner left with a satisfied look, leaving Cheap Cat utterly dumbfounded!
Yang Zhen calmly said: “Cheap Cat, the path you have to walk is still long.”
Cheap Cat stared blankly at Yang Zhen: “Not, even when ripped off, why would they thank us?”
“Thank you, I’ll be leaving now.”
“See, still thanking!” Yang Zhen pointed at the practitioner and said: “This is the most common business strategy. Once consumers believe this product is indeed worth two hundred purple crystals, if you give them a discount of one crystal, they’ll feel they’ve made a profit. This is the simplest form of self-satisfaction.”
Cheap Cat looked uncertainly at Yang Zhen, and murmured: “Damn it, this is pretty sophisticated.”
When Yang Zhen brought Cheap Cat onto the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain’s flying boat, they saw Yi Shui’er’s serious expression, asked in surprise: “What happened? Did the sky collapse?”
The Heavenly Snow Saint Lord looked at Yang Zhen and said, “The changes in this Ancient Ruin are far beyond our imagination.”
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said: “What’s the big deal? Isn’t it normal for there to be major changes? This is an Ancient Ruin after all, its prohibitions change drastically in an instant. The next moment, everything could be turned upside down and start all over again. There’s nothing weird about this!”
GuanGuan raised her head weakly to look at Yang Zhen, hesitated for a moment, and said: “Yang Zhen…feel the aura from the forest in front of us.”
Yang Zhen was taken aback and glanced at GuanGuan.
This Pill Crazed rarely spoke, especially when Heavenly Snow Saint Lord was present. Yang Zhen had hardly heard her speak, and if she did, it was too soft and would be overlooked.
But this time, GuanGuan actually took the initiative to speak up. Undoubtedly, she was the first to discover this anomaly.
Yang Zhen released his spiritual sense with a strange expression on his face, followed by a sudden change in his expression, his spirit soul strength followed closely behind.
The spiritual sense was used to explore, while the spirit soul sense was used for perception. When the spirit soul force landed on the ground along with the spiritual sense, he was suddenly taken aback, “Someone had entered already?”
GuanGuan nodded hurriedly and said, “Not only has someone entered, but it seems that some kind of formation that can change the laws of the earth has been triggered, so … we were late.”
“What do you mean, we’re late?” Yang Zhen immediately thought of Li Cangxu. That madman was truly capable of anything, which was quite annoying!
However, Yang Zhen was confused afterward. If he knew about this place, he definitely would also have tried to enter early. Moreover, he would do much more than Li Cangxu. At least apart from activating the earth’s formation here, he would also add an illusionary formation, making those who came in later turn around at the entrance for at least three days. Even a minute less wouldn’t work.
Given Li Cangxu’s temperament, it obviously wouldn’t be that simple. Could it be… it wasn’t him?
That was also possible. Perhaps others thought themselves too good to do such a thing.
Seeing Yang Zhen’s continuously changing expression, Heavenly Snow Saint Lord leaned over and asked, “Young friend Yang, what do we do in this situation?”
Yang Zhen looked up at the ship of Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and burst into laughter.
Clearly, the people from Heavenly Spring Sacred Land also thought Li Cangxu had been the first to enter. Not knowing whether the divine transformation stage powerhouse had followed, they all felt quite awkward.
Li Cangxu had already left Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, and the divine transformation stage powerhouse still treated him as a disciple. This had honestly struck a blow to the Heavenly Spring Saint Lord’s heart.
“Enter, we shall also enter!”
Yang Zhen waved his hand, glanced at Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, and said, “You two follow others but don’t get too close. There might be danger inside.”
The two women nodded, and as they were about to speak, Yang Zhen turned around and said to Heavenly Snow Saint Lord, “Saint Lord, find several mighty individuals to scout ahead?”
Heavenly Snow Saint Lord frowned as he stared at Yang Zhen, clearly annoyed.
Damn, can you be less direct? You just asked your women to stand back, and then asked me to send some people, even saying they should be powerful, to the front to scout.
Aren’t my people also humans?
What if there’s danger?
Who knows if it was Li Cangxu who went in? What if it’s Duan Sihai, the elder at the divine transformation stage? Are we not doomed then?
Duan Sihai was the divine transformation stage powerhouse of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, the senior brother of the Heavenly Spring Saint Lord. If he went in and laid down some restrictions casually, it would be enough for this group of people.
Seeing Heavenly Snow Saint Lord somewhat hesitant, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, “Forget it, Cheap Cat, accompany this Sao Saint for a walk. If I get injured, like a scrape or something, or if my hair gets messed up by a True Essence storm or something, we’ll go back.”
“Okay,” answered Cheap Cat, eager to have a go, his shifty eyes fixated on Heavenly Snow Saint Lord.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen willing to be the first to go in and return at the slightest injury, Heavenly Snow Saint Lord lost his composure. He cleared his throat and hurriedly said, “No rush… young friend Yang, let us discuss more!”
Having said that, without waiting for Yang Zhen to speak, Heavenly Snow Saint Lord stretched his neck and shouted at the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land’s flying ship, “Brother Lu, the restrictions have been triggered. Shall we send people in to investigate?”
Yang Zhen and Cheap Cat retreated to one side, exchanging smiles of understanding.
“Is there really danger inside?” Cheap Cat asked, a cunning look in his eyes.
Yang Zhen nodded, “This entrance isn’t simple, I really don’t know how they went in last time!”
