Millennium Tension

Chapter 183: Resolve the Small Fuss

"Old granny! You want to trick me, huh? This crystal shouldn't cost more than a hundred thousand low tier spirit coins, and you're selling these for a thousand mid-tier spirit coins!? That's ten times the Turquoise Tematase Crystal on the normal market!" The young man pointed at the old granny with his accusation.

"Watch your mouth, young man. You know the rules and so do I. You wouldn't be here arguing with me if you could buy this precious crystal on the normal market, auction house, or anywhere else!" The old granny slightly looked up, staring at the young man at her stall with a firm attitude.

"Humph, I am bidding at a price already above the market price, 200 thousand low tier spirit coins! You shouldn't be greedy!" The young man slapped the table in front of him a little hard, out of annoyance.

He had already bid at a price that was already reasonable, even far from the normal market price. However, this old granny not only rejected the price offer, but she also insulted and belittled him.

If it weren't because he really needed this crystal and happened to find this material here, he would definitely have left after mocking this hateful old granny, there wouldn't be a fuss like this.

"If you can't pay and don't have money, then don't buy it. A thousand mid-tier spirit coins, still a thousand mid-tier spirit coins. That's a very reasonable price here, in this city everything is expensive, young man. You are new, if you don't want to buy at my stall, get out of here quickly! You scare off other customers." The old granny gave a hand gesture as if to expel this young man.

"Huh! Now you kicked me out after the insult!?"

Before there could be any more trouble, and before the young man exploded with rage and used his cultivation to intimidate the old granny, the young man's shoulder was tapped by someone from behind.

The young man immediately looked back to see a man in a black robe with a beautiful and majestic gold motif, a little like the robes of the Main Auction House Association members just like himself, but this man was wearing a mask to cover the lower part of his face.

"Young man, you shouldn't use violence in your bidding. The crystals you are going to buy are quite rare in the market, therefore the price is soaring. One thousand mid-tier spirit coins is not a high price considering almost everything in this city is very expensive and of high quality. " Aizen kindly gave some advice to the young man who would give this old granny some trouble.

"Huh? Who are you? I don't know you, this is my business and this old granny. You better stay out of it, young man!" The young man with a slightly irritated face brushed Aizen's hand on his shoulder.

"I don't know you and you don't know me either. Is this how one of the members of the Main Auction House Association acted? Disappointing." Aizen got straight to the point that really offended that young man, but that young man didn't reply afterward, he was silent and a little embarrassed.

It was not his will, but this old granny was so hateful. He seemed to want to go forward, took the crystal, and then gagged her with that crystal.

"I apologize for my outburst, kind fellow. But, you don't know this old granny was so irritating. She sold crystals for ten times the market price, I bid twice the market price, and she scoffed at me. If hands and action must follow rules, then mouth and speech too! " The young man saluted at Aizen, then gave a little chronology of the current events.

"Ho? Tell me, how many spirit coins do you have right now?" Aizen thought it was funny, a penniless member of the Main Auction House Association? He just found this one, but he was reminded of Zi Mei who entered this organization only because he recommended it to Long Fu.

"Ah, I only have 300 thousand low tier spirit coins." The young man confessed somewhat embarrassed. Even though his organization existed in this city, making money was never an easy thing.

"Okay, you have 300 mid-tier spirit coins, a crystal that you want to buy is 1000 mid-tier spirit coins. There are only two options if you really want the crystal, look for the money you need from somewhere or exchange for the valuables you have. I'm sure this granny wouldn't be unreasonable if you spoke in a polite tone." Aizen brushed his hand and aimed it at the old granny who was only watching from the side.

At first, Aizen had no intention of intervening, knowing that there were several guards from afar and had already glanced over here, ready to help. However, his little precious begged him to break up this debate, with his flagship lecture of course.

Ana happily clapped her hands even though there was no clapping sound from there. Axel and the girls were watching him from a few meters away with great interest too, just like Ana.

"Alright, ma'am. Please take the past and let it pass. This young man came to buy, please allow us to know, what does this man need to make up for the shortage of expenses needed to buy this crystal? As you can see, he really needs that green crystal." Receiving a nod from the young man, Aizen turned to the old granny and spoke politely.

"Hump! Finally, there is a young man with good manners. Bargaining and exchanging items is not impossible, but I have a bottom line. If you really want to buy this Turquoise Tematase Crystal, you are still short on 700 mid-tier spirit coins from your 300 mid-tier spirit coins. Give me something of equal value and we have a deal." The old granny snorted but was not too irritated, she gave a hand gesture as if asking something to the young man.

Understanding the intent of this kind fellow and Old Granny's request, the young man immediately took out a furnace to concoct herbs or pills from his Space Ring.

"This is a 10th Spirit Grade Furnace, I'm sure it is worth more than 700 mid-tier spirit coins in this city. Then, it's 300 mid-tier spirit coins. Don't make this more difficult, old granny." It was a little tough to part with his old furnace, but for the sake of Turquoise Tematase Crystal, he had to give it up.

"Humph! Fine! You are a young man in the 1st Nascent Spirit Realm who has absolutely no respect for this old granny. Consider it your luck to be assisted by this gentleman, take this and leave quickly." The old granny nimbly secured the furnace and the pouch containing spirit coins, then gave the Turquoise Tematase Crystal to the young man.

"Heh! Who wants to linger with an old granny like you for a long time? I better look at a beautiful girl. Thanks to you, kind fellow, I am..."

The young man snorted and seemed to be walking away, but he stopped and spoke to Aizen. Unfortunately, his words were stopped by Aizen's stop hand gesture.

"I know you're from the Main Auction House Association. But we are strangers, and leave it like that. Our encounter was nothing more than coincidence. Then, I excuse myself, farewell." Aizen paid his respect to the old granny, in honor of the old.

He walked away from there and returned to his group. Waiting no more, Aizen and the girls immediately left the location, there were still a few places they needed to visit.

As for the people who were present and just watching, they suddenly became pensive for a moment while looking at Aizen's harem group. The crowd immediately dispersed as there was nothing to watch anymore.

"Tch." The young man clicked his tongue and immediately went the other way.

No wonder that kind fellow said that, he was surrounded by many heavenly fairies! Make other people jealous! It's no longer the kind fellow, but the lascivious fellow! Also the cocky and boastful fellow! The young man just wanted to thank Aizen, but ended up cursing the latter in his mind out of jealousy.

Luckily the fairies and Aizen wore their special face covers. Otherwise, trouble would come only because of their looks. The men who were obsessed with Aizen's girls, and the women who were crazy about Aizen.

Even so, it was none of their business, at this point Aizen and his group was walking back to the red building such as the temple or shrine in the middle of this handicraft district.

Halinoque, the magnificent writing displayed as a signboard on the roof of the building. The most complete craft center that was said, had any treasures or artifacts from Normal Grade to Heaven Grade. There was even a Grade 5 Alchemist selling his products here. The extremely powerful Heaven Grade Artifact!

Although not particularly interested in Heaven Grade Artifacts and rumors, Aizen and his girls entered through the main door of the building without further ado.
