Chapter 82 Has the Potential to be a Rogue Merchant

  At this time they were walking through an intersection.

  At the corner of the intersection, there is a small stall as said by the little spirit.

  The stall owner was a thin, sallow-faced man who spread out an animal hide on the ground and arranged some miscellaneous items on it.

  "Two senior sisters, shall we go and take a look?"

  Zhang Shan pointed at the small stall and proposed.

  "Whatever, I've already bought what I needed to buy anyway. Nothing much is going on, just take a look around, but don't expect to find any treasures."

  Fang Yiru smiled and followed Zhang Shan towards the small stall.

  There are some mysterious materials from overseas that resemble the remains of a monster, while others look like strange and bizarre trash.

  The stall owner looked like a vagrant martial artist without any sect or school, but with the appearance of a fourth-level spiritual warrior. He was dressed like a beggar, no wonder there were many people passing by, but none of them showed any interest in stopping to take a look.

  What Ling'er told Zhang Shan to buy was a handmade mask that looked rough and it was unclear what material it was made of.

  "This thing looks like a child's toy, Ling'er, are you sure it's a treasure?"

  Zhang Shan's gaze swept over the mask, and in his mind, he asked Ling'er.

  "This mask is extraordinary, it has a name called Qian Zhī Biàn (Thousand Changes), after wearing it, you can transform into one thousand different kinds of people's faces, it's the ultimate trick for changing one's appearance."

  Ling'er explained to Zhang Shan in the sea of knowledge.

  "Is it really that amazing? But it looks like a piece of junk, and wearing it can actually change your appearance. I think it's more suitable for scaring people at night."

  Zhang Shan was chatting with Ling'er while casually flipping through the goods on the stall, and then picked up the mask as if unintentionally.

  "It won't be wrong, this mask is the Thousand Changes, it's a playful work of the ancient master craftsman Ye Ji, but later it fell into the hands of a famous killer, relying on this mask, he changed and escaped with ease."

  "It's like a broken and inferior toy because it hasn't been activated, now probably no one understands some of the ancient symbols either."

  Listening to Ling'er's account, Zhang Shan was deeply moved, and he was certain that Ling'er must know how to activate the mask.

  "What is this thing? What material is it made of?"

  Zhang Shan wanted to buy it down, but didn't want to show that he recognized the thing, so as not to arouse the vendor's suspicion.

  "I don't know either, it's been passed down in my family and should have some significance. I've studied it for many years but still can't figure out what it does. Now that I'm short on cash, I'll just put it up for sale."

  The stall owner saw Zhangshan and asked him, his spirit lifted, and he introduced himself.

  "Junior brother, don't believe his nonsense. I think it's just an ordinary child's toy. These street vendors will exaggerate anything, they can even pass off sand as gold."

  Ling Yuwei took the mask from Zhang Shan's hand, turned it over and examined it carefully, scanned it with her divine sense, inputted her true yuan, but there was no reaction at all, so she curled up her mouth and said.

  The stall owner became anxious: "This is truly a treasured family heirloom, only the method of use has been lost. Although I don't know what it's for, it's absolutely an extraordinary thing."

  "Never mind, stop cheating people. I think you also picked up these things somewhere and they can't be sold in stores, so you set up a stall to scam some fool."

  Zhang Shan looked at him thoughtfully and suddenly burst out laughing.

  It seemed like he had hit the nail on the head, and the stall owner's eyes flickered for a moment before hastily opening his mouth to deny it.

  "Alright, no more nonsense. Let's talk business, how much is this thing going for?" Zhang Shan asked casually.

  The stall owner looked at him and seemed to want to buy, with a joyful look in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and raised two fingers.

  Zhang Shan looked at his expression and action, suddenly remembered that in his previous life when he had nothing to do, he went to the antique market to stroll around, those who sold fake goods liked to make this gesture when others asked about the price.

  He originally wanted to sell it for 10 yuan, but he insisted on giving you a high price. If you say 100 yuan is too expensive, he will tell you the price is 1,000.

  Zhang Shan felt a little dazed and had a deep sense of déjà vu.

  He quickly came back to his senses and Zhang Shan's face sank as he said: "What? Two pieces of low-grade spirit stone? Why don't you just go rob someone?"

  The sly vendor stalled for a moment, stiffening two fingers, actually wanting to observe the customer's reaction, then said twenty pieces of spiritual stone.

  But the person in front of him thought he was offering two pieces of spirit stone and got angry, twenty this number he opened his mouth and swallowed it back.

  "How about this one? Will you sell it?" Zhang Shan hummed and asked.

  "Isn't this a bit too low? This is a family heirloom... two blocks are already a bloody price."

  The stall owner shook his head and was about to boast with his glib tongue.

  Just then Zhang Shan didn't give him a chance to show off, threw down his mask and stood up to leave.

  "Hey, brother, don't go, let's discuss it a bit more... Alright, I'll make an exception this time, consider it a friendly gesture."

  Zhang Shan finally turned around, hummed a sound, put the mask into the Susi ring, and then threw him a low-grade spirit stone.

  The sly man smiled and put away the Ling Stone, then carefully introduced other broken items. It seems that he really took Zhang Shan as a big fool.

  Zhang Shan was secretly delighted at this time, and a low-grade spirit stone bought this Thousand Changes Face Mask, which was a huge profit.

  At this time, she didn't have the mood to fool around with the lecherous man, so she called out to the two women and left the stall.

  The stall owner gave him a glance and saw through his trick, it seems he's indeed a deceitful merchant who cheats the inexperienced. This mask that he boasted as a family heirloom was probably something he swindled or stole from somewhere.

  Otherwise, it's really a family heirloom, and there's no way a low-grade spirit stone would be taken out.

  However, this time the scoundrel has gone too far. This is indeed a priceless treasure, but unfortunately he doesn't recognize its value and uses it to deceive people, thinking that he has fooled Zhang Shan, the foolish guy.

  "Zhang Shidi, is there something special about that mask?"

  After walking a distance, Fang Yiru curiously asked, but she really didn't see anything special about his face.

  "The material of this mask is quite peculiar, neither gold nor wood. I think it should be a treasure, or maybe it's damaged or not activated, so I want to buy it and study it, anyway, it's not expensive."

  It's about the stele spirit, Zhang Shan didn't want to reveal everything, so he could only speak vaguely.

  "This is also the case, but unexpectedly, my junior brother is a master of bargaining, and the stall owner was left stunned. I think he wanted to open with a high price just now, and it seems that my junior brother doesn't look like an honest person either."

  Fang Yiru glanced at him lightly.

  Ling Yuwei also nodded in agreement: "That sly merchant thought he could cheat Shidi out of a high price, but instead got tricked by Shidi and revealed his true nature. Hehe, if Shidi were to become a sly merchant, I reckon he'd be able to swindle quite a few people."

  "Fang Shijie, you're wronging me! Being able to haggle and being honest are two different things, okay? And Ling Shijie, that was just shopping wisdom, but when I tell you about it, it sounds like I'm being deceitful. You guys are slandering me."

  Zhang Shan firmly refused, joking that if he were to think that the beautiful female teacher was too cunning, it wouldn't be good.

  The two women exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Anyway, we don't care how you treat others, but from now on, you're not allowed to play smart and deceive us."

  Fang Yiru smiled and warned him.

  Zhang Shan patted his chest and swore an oath that he absolutely would not.

  The three of them chatted and laughed as they left Letian Town, boarding Fang Yiru's small spirit boat to return to the sect.
