《The Strength of Duality (Newly Edited)》Successful Trades
Advertisement
As for Yun Tian, he didn’t think about robbing him or paying him. Instead, he was greatly excited as he thought, ‘This should be enough!’
Then, he immediately took out a spatial bag and held it out. He said with happiness evident on his face, “Keep the bag too!”
Everyone around was stunned. He accepted just like that, even throwing in the spatial bag for free. Instantly everyone felt doubtful of whether or not there really were seven cores in that bag.
Gong asked, “Do you mind if I check the bag first?”
Yun Tian only threw it to him as his response.
The man caught it and could no longer understand Yun Tian. He checked inside the bag and found there really were seven late stage cores in it. He felt even more confused. He hadn’t even received his end of the deal but just threw over the bag with seven cores. He momentarily thought about just taking the bag, but immediately realized that idea was as stupid as could be. And for more reasons than one.
So, he just handed over the bottles of pills to Yun Tian who momentarily inspected them and then put them away.
After this Yun Tian didn’t forget the other thing he needed as he asked, “You wouldn’t happen to have a high spirit grade sword available would you?”
Now Gong was shocked, he still wanted to buy more things. Still, he nodded his head as he said, “Yes we do in fact have one.”
Yun Tian was once again excited as he asked, “Great, how much do you want for that?”
He was prepared to spend a large amount as he knew it would be expensive.
At his question, Gong took out what appeared to be an almost completely black sword with only a slight curve. The blade was hidden inside a black sheath. Both the sheath and the handle were decorated with a few beautiful but simple and seemingly random golden engravings. After he unsheathed it, everyone laid their eyes on the completely straight sword that basically oozed sharpness. It was about two feet in length.

There was no guard on the completely black hilt giving the sword a dangerous feeling. This also meant that when it was in the sheath it almost looked like the sheath was the blade.
As for the blade itself, the only notable feature was a small red character for kill on one side of the blade near the hilt. The other side had the character for resolve in black.
Besides that, it looked very plain except for the markings engraved into the handle and blade that gave it a feeling of mysteriousness.
As he saw the sword he felt it was very compatible with his sword style. After all he still mainly focused on his speed and dealing very deadly strikes. The simplistic style suited his tastes. It wasn’t flashy just like him.
After putting it back in its sheath, Gong said, “This sword is a little above average among high spirit grade swords. But since I never get such good customers, how about nineteen late stage cores?”
Hearing this, everyone around gasped at the price.
Still, Yun Tian didn’t say anything as he reached into his robe before taking another spatial bag and throwing it over.
Everyone around was stunned. Some of them even weakly said, “What?”
Even Gong was stunned. Still they waited thinking there couldn’t be that many cores in that bag.
Gong cautiously caught the bag and looked into it before his face brightened up and he swiftly presented the sword up with both hands and a big smile saying: “Here you go sir.”
Everyone around was stunned into silence as Yun Tian grabbed the sword.
As for the man who was the center of attention, Yun Tian, he held the sword in his hand and admired it. He unsheathed it and inspected every inch of it and thought it was great. Especially the character “殺” on the blade meaning kill and the character “解決” on the other side meaning resolve. He felt a sense of harmony as he held the blade.

Although he felt the price was probably a little high, he felt it was worth it since he liked the sword so much and he needed a high grade sword anyway.
As for those around, they felt the sword paired well with him and the black robes he always wore. Besides that, he had black hair and black eyes which also complemented it. Above all both him and the blade looked simple, but at the same time gave off a feeling of great magnificence.
Besides this though, they were all stunned at everything that had just transpired. Mainly at how much wealth he had displayed.
As for Shen Yu next to Yun Tian, she saw the smile on his face as he inspected the blade and said, “I think it fits you very well.”
Her thoughts were, ‘It is simple but still looks really cool just like him.’
Gong complimented as well, “Young Miss has a great eye. It’s almost like the sword was made for him.”
Yun Tian didn’t really care about Gong’s words but nodded his head at Shen Yu’s words and said, “I think so too,” before putting the sword inside its sheath in his waistband on his right side. He didn’t want to store away the sword.
Then he rubbed Shen Yu’s head and said, “Alright then I think we are done here.”
He knew they wouldn’t have any peak spirit grade stuff and he didn’t necessarily need it at the moment. Even if they did have it he wasn’t sure if he would try to buy it using the cores he had. After all it would cost much more than what he just paid and he still needed cultivation resources for his demonic core at the moment.
“Alright I will take my leave first then,” said Gong.
With that Gong walked back inside the building and left the big group of experts outside still reeling at what had just happened.
After he left, the two who had been off to the side this whole time, the two peak dantian building experts, Gu Jie and Mu Wen, exchanged a glance before Gu Jie spoke saying: “Alright everyone, why don’t you all disperse while us Gu and Mu clan’s escort our guests out.”
Mu Wen, echoed him saying: “Yes we will take it from here.”
