“Picked up?”

The middle-aged man frowned. Then, he placed the sword on the table. “Young friend, you may not be aware of the seriousness of the matter. While the quality of this sword is indeed outstanding, its origin is… remarkable. Once certain individuals from the Divine Rotation Sect find out, they will undoubtedly cause trouble. It’s a miracle that you’re still alive. For many, you’ll just be a commodity to be sold for the amount of bounty over your head.”

Jiang Hao wasn’t surprised. He had walked in here, so he wasn’t afraid. No matter what happened here, it had nothing to do with Jiang Hao in the southern region. No one could find him.

“Senior, do you mean to say that an innocent man will be killed for just carrying a treasure?” asked Jiang Hao.

“It’s good that you get it,” the middle-aged man said seriously. “Keeping such a thing will lead to danger, especially for someone like you in the Golden Core

Realm like yourself.”

“What price would you offer for this, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

After thinking for a moment, the man said, “Since you claim to have picked it up, I’ll give you ten thousand spirit stones for it. How about it?”

A good Golden Core Realm treasure would fetch more than that, and this was a

Soul Ascension Realm treasure.

“Greed is dangerous. If we don’t take this treasure, no one else here will,” said the man.

Jiang Hao was surprised. He hadn’t used his cultivation to pressure him.

Then, he began to negotiate.

In the end, they settled on a deal of 48,000 spirit stones.

Jiang Hao felt that the price of this particular treasure was more than that. However, the buyer hadn’t tried to intimidate him by using his superior cultivation realm, so Jiang Hao hadn’t used his own cultivation to threaten him either. Besides, if what the man said was true, keeping the treasure would be troublesome.

He learned that many powerful figures had gone to the Mountain River Valley Sect based on hearsay.

If it weren’t for the people from the Astronomical Academy and their Astronomical Scroll, Dole would have been dead by now.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but admire Zhang from the Astronomical Academy stepping in and dragging the whole sect to protect one person. Her move was bold and extraordinary.

It also meant that the Ancient and Modern Book was very important to her.

It also showed that the sects in the West took the matter of their dead disciples very seriously.

He wanted to sell other treasures in the West, so he had to be more careful.

It didn’t matter if he earned less. He needed to stay safe.

If it were in the East, there would be no danger because no one would recognize the treasures he had, and he could sell them at the usual market price.

“Do you have anything else, young friend?” the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

It seemed that the middle-aged man was satisfied with the transaction.

Jiang Hao brought out another treasure. It was a golden wheel this time.

Whether it was a treasure from the West or the North was unclear.

The middle-aged man’s smile froze on his face. “Did you… also pick this up somewhere?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“We can’t accept this one. This treasure belongs to Granny Kufa. She made it for her grandson. The imprint inside can’t be erased. She might likely have already sensed it the moment you took it. She’ll probably come looking for it,” said the

man.

“How powerful is she?” Jiang Hao was curious.

“It’s said that she’s at the Immortal Ascension Platform. Her cultivation realm isn’t what you should fear. She’s… difficult to deal with,” said the middle-aged man with a sigh. “She is someone with the power of curses. Offending her means getting cursed. Your body will deteriorate, and inner demons will be born. It’ll be inevitable. Whether it is me as a buyer or a smith melting it down, no one can escape her curse. So, no one here might accept this.”

Jiang Hao nodded. “Thank you for informing me. What about these items?”

After putting away the golden wheel, Jiang Hao brought out Primordial Spirit and Golden Core treasures.

This senior was reasonable, so he didn’t need to find other buyers.

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He thought for a while and then looked at Jiang Hao and smiled. “Did you pick these up along the way too, Friend?”

“Senior, you have sharp eyes.” Jiang Hao smiled and nodded.

The middle-aged man checked them one by one.

The ones he recognized were the ones some people had been asking around lately.

The reason he recognized the treasures wasn’t because he had sharp eyes but because many people had been asking for them lately.

There had been a list of treasures being passed in the West.

These treasures were all marked. It was done so that the treasure could be identified and returned to the owners.

This young man claimed he had picked these treasures up somewhere. Was that really true?

The buyer had heard about the matters in the Corpse Realm. He looked at Jiang Hao nervously.

It was no wonder he hadn’t been shocked when he heard about Granny Kufa. The middle-aged man had thought this person didn’t know who she was, so he didn’t know what she was capable of.

However, now he understood that this person didn’t really fear anyone.

“Can you give me an estimate of the value? If you can’t, then you can just keep it,” said Jiang Hao.

“Sure, no problem.” The middle-aged man immediately called over the woman from before. “Prepare the best tea for this senior.”

‘Senior?’ She was puzzled but went to make the tea.

Jiang Hao didn’t mind. “Senior, you are really polite. In fact, this tea is quite good. By the way, do you happen to have September Spring here?”

“We do. Even if we don’t sell it, we can prepare some for you. However, the season is almost over. In the following years, it will be difficult to buy September Spring, and the price may also rise,” the middle-aged man said. “By the way, I’m Wei Quande.”

Nice to meet you, Senior Wei,” said Jiang Hao. “You can call me whatever you want. You can just address me as a friend.”

Wei Quande smiled. “Sure, friend.”

After that, he examined the treasures. “Altogether, I can offer 260,000 spirit stones for all of these. It’s not that we don’t want to offer you more, but… these items will bring trouble for us. Adding the previous 48,000 spirit stones… I can increase it to 310,000 spirit stones.”

Jiang Hao nodded. This had already exceeded his expectations.

In his opinion, someone would always try to lower the price to around one hundred or two hundred thousand. If that happened, he would intimidate them. After all, they were all items he had picked up.

“No problem…” Jiang Hao nodded.

Since these were things he didn’t need, there was no harm in keeping them, but exchanging them for spirit stones would help improve his cultivation. “Be careful with Granny Kufa. She might already know about you,” said Wei

Quande.

Jiang Hao nodded without saying much.

He was not afraid of curses.

Meanwhile, an old woman who had been waiting for an opportunity in the Mountain River Valley Sect suddenly looked back. Her eyebrows furrowed. She then looked delighted.

“I didn’t expect it to be taken out so openly. I’ll avenge you, my grandson. I’ll kill your inhumane executioner even if I have to risk my life..”
