"At this moment, the role of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower came into play, it's a pity the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is on the opposing side."
Su Yu continued to wander around.
Fortunately, his ability to recognize rare metals and heavenly materials and earthly treasures was spot on, and he had Ellex in his mind. If there was anything truly advanced, he would definitely sense it.
"Huh~"
Su Yu entered a store named "True Goods Store" and noticed a crystal with a restrained glow among a pile of fake and inferior magic crystals.
Forbidden Demon Crystal?
Goodness, even the True Goods Store's magic crystals are counterfeit, many are fakes, yet there's actually a Forbidden Demon Crystal here.
Su Yu picked up the Forbidden Demon Crystal and scanned it with his spiritual power.
Confirmed it was indeed a Forbidden Demon Crystal.
The Forbidden Demon Crystal can weaken energy attacks, and its hardness is extremely high too. It's considered top-tier rare metal. When Su Yu challenged Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, he had some Forbidden Demon Crystal in his third-level soul-guiding device. Mirror Hongchen and Kong Deming were surprised where Su Yu got his share from.
To put it this way, one kilogram of Forbidden Demon Crystal is equivalent to thirty kilograms or more in the standard share, depending on the quality of the Forbidden Demon Crystal. If it's good enough, it could equal several hundred kilograms of share.
The Forbidden Demon Crystal in Su Yu's hand was of average quality, slightly better than the one with the one to thirty ratio Su Yu used before, about a one to forty level.
However, this Forbidden Demon Crystal was quite large, bigger than Su Yu's fist, and looked heavy when Su Yu picked it up.
At least it weighed about ten kilograms.
In the outside world, it would cost at least several hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins.
However, the True Goods Store mixed this Forbidden Demon Crystal with inferior magic crystals, selling it at the price of magic crystals, three thousand Golden Soul Coins were enough to take it.
"Sect Leader, over here!"
A crisp girl's voice sounded behind Su Yu, and then a group of people entered the store.
A girl with neat short golden hair entered, looking at the Forbidden Demon Crystal in Su Yu's hand.
Su Yu looked at the people behind the girl.
They were acquaintances.
Tang Ya, Beibei.
As for the other four, Su Yu also roughly identified them based on their characteristics.
An obviously disguised Wang Dong.
The girl with rabbit ears on her head, Jiang Nannan.
Wearing leather, with a cat tail at the back, cat ears on her head...
This one is unclear, but seeing her being intimate with another tall and strong man exuding masculine energy, with unusual eyes, Su Yu guessed they belonged to the White Tiger Duke and the Zhu Family of the Netherworld Spirit Cat.
This age group, could they be Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin?
Su Yu mused, these two actually became teammates with Beibei and the others?
As for the blond girl in the front, her clothes were glittering with various gems, could almost see the "wealthy" label...
Having identified six of the seven people's identities, Su Yu logically guessed they were from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect.
After all, with this configuration of seven people, it was hard not to think of the original Shrek Seven Monsters...
Except the Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun was replaced by Beibei, the Blue Spot Tyrannosaurus, and Sausage Oscar was replaced by Wang Dong. Other configurations were almost identical.
So, this age group genius from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect teaming up with Tang Ya and Beibei probably represented the Tang Sect in the tournament, could it be Ningtian?
Su Yu's thoughts flowed quickly, and within two to three seconds, he identified all seven people.
"It's you!"
Tang Ya and Beibei recognized Su Yu, showing a guarded look.
At the same time, their eyes towards Su Yu were filled with hostility.
After Shrek's defeat, Su Yu being the last one to end their championship hopes in individual matches played no small part in hitting their reputation.
Although it wasn't a one-on-seven, Shrek's struggling situation being completely cut off by one person made it even harder to bear.
"Oh? Long time no see, you two." Su Yu greeted them.
"Sect Leader, you know him?" Ningtian turned back to look at Tang Ya, asking with surprise.
"Su Yu. How can we not know him?" Beibei stepped forward, shielding the other six behind, and pointed out Su Yu's identity.
Jiang Nannan remained silent but recognized Su Yu as she had fought him before, though she wasn't as startled as Tang Ya.
The boss noticed the situation in the store, fearing conflict might erupt, tried to intervene.
Upon hearing Su Yu's name, he paused for a moment, then recognized Su Yu as that Su Yu.
Seeing the seven others clearly at odds with Su Yu, and noting their accents and appearances unlike Sun and Moon Empire people, the boss refrained from further intervention.
Seven people together, could they be a competition team?
Su Yu's reputation as a genius echoed throughout the Sun and Moon Empire, clearly not one to suffer losses.
As for anything getting damaged...
The boss was already contemplating how to let those seven make the first move, then figure out how to secure his own interests...
"Boss, how much for that piece of metal in his hand?" Ningtian remembered her purpose here and spoke.
"Ah, that magic crystal, you mean? Five thousand Golden Soul Coins?"
Upon hearing the boss say it was a magic crystal, Ningtian was delighted, but frowned at the five-thousand quote.
Schemers!
How can a magic crystal be this expensive?
Three thousand tops.
"He hasn't bought it yet, right? This piece of magic crystal, I, the young lady, want it."
But since the boss had already quoted the price, it implied Su Yu hadn't purchased the metal yet.
Ningtian's thinking was completely in line with Shrek's way of thinking.
Saying this, she pulled out a black card, ready to buy the magic crystal from Su Yu's hand.
Meanwhile, aside from asking the boss for the price, she showed clear hostility towards Su Yu, implying she was spending money to spite him.
Pretty smart.
But Su Yu wouldn't indulge it.
"Boss, I'll buy it for ten thousand Golden Soul Coins."
Just because I haven't bought it yet, so you can snatch it?
Sorry, you're holding a card but haven't swiped it yet.
Heh, how convenient is it for a young lady to go out with just a card and no cash.
The boss saw the two quarreling and initially thought it was a dispute over pride, but when the price was raised to thirty thousand Golden Soul Coins between them, he sensed something was amiss.
"If both of you are interested in magic crystals, there's plenty in stock over there. This piece is so small, and it troubles me you both pay thirty thousand Golden Soul Coins. Others would say I'm Old Wang ripping people off."
Upon Boss Wang's words, Su Yu and Ningtian's contest paused.
"Boss, let me tell you straight, this is Forbidden Demon Crystal, worth about two hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins. I'm buying it for two hundred thousand. Are you selling or not?"
Su Yu didn't hold back.
The rarity of the Forbidden Demon Crystal mainly lies in its scarcity, not its price.
Buying Forbidden Demon Crystal at face value was no loss.
As for Ningtian buying it at a high premium?
Which Sun and Moon Empire person would do such a business without loss? After all, this isn't an auction house.
Indeed, Boss Wang praised Su Yu for being straightforward. After a detailed inspection of this Forbidden Demon Crystal, he finally sold it to Su Yu.
Two hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins.
No bargaining.
As for Ningtian, who continued to raise the price to four hundred thousand, the boss held back his heartache and didn't sell to her.
The boss knew to read faces.
This girl, showing a wealthy demeanor, pushed the price to four hundred thousand, indicating that in her view, the metal's value was at most this much.
Considering the difference in demand for rare metals between Sun and Moon and the outside, the price margin, and the wealthy daughter's gullible overpricing capability.
Through these, he judged this Forbidden Demon Crystal as Su Yu had said regarding its quality and price, confirming he hadn't misjudged.
To have it pointed out by Su Yu and sold for two hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins, rather than being acquired cheaply, was already immense luck.
Su Yu's sincerity made it hard for the boss to refuse.
After all, as a Sun and Moon Empire person, given his emotions and the need to do business in Mingdu...
"This girl, wanting such a large bargain, is not a good lass."
The boss felt inward pain, paying the price of earning twenty thousand fewer Golden Soul Coins, just about to sell the Forbidden Demon Crystal to Su Yu.
"Forget it, I don't want it." Su Yu suddenly said.
The boss was surprised, then realized Su Yu's intent, turning to Ningtian. "Miss, do you still want this Forbidden Demon Crystal?"
Four hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins!
Oh my, an overnight fortune!
Ningtian was bewildered by Su Yu's completely unconventional competitive strategy.
