Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Master…

"What's wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much?"

However, the most shocking one was the agent who brought Zheng-Fu there. He did not expect Zheng-Fu to have so much money. This young man could spend tens of millions at once without any trouble. Although receiving such a large share was great, that joy was replaced by more worry and shock.

"I'm… I'm… I'm just… just… just shocked. I have never seen a customer spend so much money before, sir!" the agent replied. He was trembling and slightly scared. The person who spent so much money must not have been ordinary. If he were not a young master from one of the major clans, then he must have been the son of a powerful person from some big group.

Umm...

Zheng-Fu did not say anything more after hearing the answer. He did not need to explain anything more about this matter. He turned to the shop manager, who was also sweating again, and said, "Master Manager, does your shop have better quality jade?"

Hah!?

"A better-quality jade?"

"Yes! I think a shop famous for jade like this must have better quality jade. If you have them, I'd like to buy them as well."

"Actually, we do have them, sir, Young Master. But most of the higher quality jade, we sent to our main auction house for auction. I just sent them there this morning. If you come earlier, I can sell them to you directly. So, I apologize for not being able to sell them to you," the shop manager replied with a sad and regretful expression.

Oh!

"Never mind. By the way, when will the auction start? And can I join?" Looking at the shop manager's gaze, Zheng-Fu could see that his words were not a lie to gain more profit using the excuse of the auction. This man was telling the truth and truly feeling sorry. So, he did not think much of it and asked about joining the auction instead.

"Of course, sir! Normally, only people from the major clans and those who received invitation cards before can join the auction. However, I can issue you a special invitation card to join as well. The auction will be held tomorrow from noon to evening. Because in addition to jade, many high-end products will be auctioned. And this is the list of items that will be auctioned, sir!"

If it were anyone else, the shop manager would probably not be interested and just let the matter pass. But for Zheng-Fu, who could easily pay more than thirty-five million, he absolutely would not do so. Even though the process of sending out invitation cards to major clans and related people had been completed, it did not mean that more could not be issued. After all, the one in charge of this matter was him, so he could issue invitation cards to Zheng-Fu.

Thank you very much, Master Manager!

"Young Master is too polite. By the way, does Young Master want other types of jade?"

"No. I want the jade that was participated of the auction. I believe that they must be of very high quality!"

Umm...

"Young Master is right. I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed!"

Good!

"Then I'll take my leave. I'll come back here again when I have a chance!"

"Then, I'll walk you out myself."

Thank you!

After buying a large amount of jade, Zheng-Fu left the God of Jade Shop with the agent, who was smiling so widely that he could not close his mouth. In this trade, he earned more than three hundred thousand Eternal Coins. This amount of money was equivalent to his regular income for ten years.

"Are you going to stand there smiling for long? Are you not going to guide me anymore?!"

Ah!

Sorry, Master!

Two hours later...

"This is the last jade shop, sir, Master. But this shop is just a small shop. I'm afraid Master might not find any high-quality jade here," Agent Bao-Biao mentioned the jade shop in front of them. Because he was afraid that there would not be anything that Zheng-Fu wanted there, he did not want to introduce it. However, since it was Zheng-Fu's request, he had to bring him there.

"It's fine. Although there isn't any high-quality jade here, I still want to take a look!"

However, Zheng-Fu did not think so. He felt some mysterious energy waves coming from inside the small jade shop. It would be hard to see with the naked eye, but because of the energy cultivation technique Zheng-Fu was practicing, he was able to sense these energy waves.

Yes, sir!

Creak!

Flap!

"Shop Owner, my Master wants to buy some high-quality jade. Does your shop have any?" As soon as the agent opened the door, he immediately walked in and shouted at the shop owner, an elder of over seventy years old.

"Master, my shop is just a small shop that only sells low and medium-quality jade, sir. There's no high-quality jade here. I apologize!"

Even though the shop owner was yelled at, he did not get angry or show any displeasure towards the agent. Instead, he politely replied,

You…

Enough!

Yes, sir, Master!

"Master Elder, I apologize for this man being rude to you. Even if your shop doesn't have high-quality jade, it doesn't matter. But I'm a jade enthusiast, so may I take a look at the jade in your shop?"

The agent wanted to use energy to suppress the elder, but Zheng-Fu interrupted him to stop what he was doing. Then, Zheng-Fu clasped his hands together and apologized to the elder politely and seriously before asking permission to take a look at the jade in the elder's shop.

Err!

Master!?

Zheng-Fu's actions made the agent's face turn pale. Because ever since the young man entered the God of Jade Shop and other jade shops, before coming to this shop, he had not shown any politeness to any shop owners. But in this small jade shop, Zheng-Fu was humble and polite. And that made the agent start to feel anxious and worried about the identity of the elder.

"Young Master is too polite to me. I'm just an old jade merchant. I dare not accept your apology. Moreover, if you want to walk around and look at the jade in my shop, you don't need to ask for my permission. Please feel free to take a look, sir!"

The elder still smiled and politely replied to Zheng-Fu. His demeanor did not change at all. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to maintain such a demeanor.

'I didn't think that the Human Race would have such a high-level great skilled master hiding here.'

In the eyes of other people, that elder was just an old man, but to Zheng-Fu, he was not. Zheng-Fu could sense that the elder was even stronger than Elder Zi and Zi-Dong-Lei. Or maybe he was as strong as him.

'This young man is not as simple as he looks, and he doesn't seem to be a Demon Race. How interesting!'

The elder also inspected Zheng-Fu, but could only discern a little about him, making him quite interested in this young man. However, because he and Zheng-Fu did not know each other, he did not need to talk much more than that and just acted like an ordinary elder.

Thank you, Master Elder!

After Zheng-Fu finished talking to the elder, he walked around the shop to look at the jades. Most of them were really of low and medium quality. There were no high-quality jades on sale. However, that was only the surface that the eyes could see. In fact, many of those low-quality jades concealed high-quality ones inside them. From what Zheng-Fu could see, those high-quality jades were all arranged according to the principles of a tactical formation.

"Master Elder, I'm very interested in this jade. How much is it?"

To test whether his thoughts were correct, Zheng-Fu then picked up one of the jade pieces from the tactical formation and asked to buy it to see how the elder would react.

Erm!

"Young Master, are you interested in this jade? But it's just a low-quality jade, sir. I'm afraid…"

"I have already told you that even if it's not a high-quality jade, I'll buy it if I like it. Apart from this jade, I want that one, that one, that one, and that one too!" When Zheng-Fu saw the elder's expression, he was immediately certain that what he thought was right. He did not hesitate to choose and point at all those high-quality jade pieces that were in the various positions of the tactical formation.

Ah!

'Does this kid know that these jade pieces are high-quality jade? No way! He shouldn't know. I have already counterfeited and erased their auras to make them appear as very low-quality jade. Or did this young man just want jade pieces and choose them randomly?'

The elder could not figure out what was going on. All the jade pieces that Zheng-Fu pointed at were actually jade pieces he had arranged into some kind of tactical formation. He counterfeited them to look like the lowest quality jade so that no one would be interested in them. But Zheng-Fu was interested in every single one of them as if he had specially selected them. However, the elder could not find a reason to explain himself why.

"Or don't you sell them?"

Zheng-Fu asked with an innocent face, but beneath that face was a devilish smile. He knew that the elder must have been confused and soon would have to reveal his true identity.

Ah!

"Of course, sir. But can I have a moment to prepare to wrap them for you? Even though they're only low-quality jade, I have to wrap them…"

"It's fine, Master Elder. I want them right now, so you can tell me the prices."

When the elder opened his mouth, Zheng-Fu knew his intentions immediately. If it were an ordinary merchant, he would not be interested in such low-quality goods. However, this elder was interested and even wanted to wrap them nicely for him. This showed that the elder intended to exchange those jades under the pretext of wrapping them. So, Zheng-Fu quickly interrupted him and urged him by asking the price again.

"What are you waiting for, Shop Owner? Just tell him the price. Don't worry that my Master won't have the money to pay. He's a very rich man. My Master can definitely pay for a few dozen pieces of low-quality jade!" When the agent had the chance to make himself a favorite of Zheng-Fu, he did not hesitate. He quickly interjected to urge the elder to tell him the price.

Sigh…

Blop! Blop! Blop!

Wha… what… what's going on?!

The elder let out a long sigh before moving to do something.

"Why do you have to force me? Actually, there are many jades in my shop. Why did you choose these jades? What exactly is your true ulterior purpose?!"

Whooooosh!!!
