The man with clouded eyes chuckled and said, "How could I mock you, brother? It's just that I heard this person has been refining pills here for a month, and it seems he has quite a stock of pills on him, as well as many materials and a Holy Vein, he must have a lot of good things."
"What's wrong?
Are you interested in him, Black Zhan?
Don't blame me for not reminding you, with such attainments in alchemy, how could he not have any background?
Don't provoke someone you can't afford to."
Yu Chengguang snorted coldly.
"Hahaha, are you afraid, Brother Yu?
That makes sense, your family has a big business, and you have many mouths to feed. But I'm different, I'm free and unrestrained. Even if this person really has a great background, what of it? If I anger him, I'll just run away like that ghost formation Saint Master. Can he really chase me down without end?"
Black Zhan, the Saint Master, said with a sneer.
Yu Chengguang was startled, realizing from his tone that Black Zhan really seemed to have plans to deal with this person.
Considering Black Zhan's past achievements and temper, it was indeed possible. If he succeeded, then all the materials and Holy Veins obtained by the Tian Wu Dan Shop would likely fall into his hands. What a tremendous fortune that would be!
Although Yu Chengguang didn't know exactly how many treasures Qin Chen had, a rough estimate would suggest that the materials, pills, and Holy Veins Qin Chen acquired over the past month were undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
"Brother Yu, you also saw it before; there are only these three at the Tian Wu Dan Shop. That Chen Qing Dan Sheng, I've investigated carefully, is at most a peak mid-stage Saint Master. Even if he hides, he's only close to the later stage of Saint Master cultivation, absolutely has not broken through to the later stage Saint Master realm. The girl beside him and his subordinate are of similar cultivation, and may even be inferior to that Chen Qing Dan Sheng. If I make a move, I can confidently say I have at least a 90% chance of success."
Black Zhan, the Saint Master, smiled lightly at Yu Chengguang.
"Why are you telling me all this?
If you're going to make a move, that's your business. I, Yu, will not intervene."
Yu Chengguang replied coldly.
He was different from Black Zhan. If he made a move and failed, everything he had built over the years in Dongguang City would be destroyed in an instant.
Seeming to know Yu Chengguang's thoughts, Black Zhan sneered, "Rest assured, I don't want you to intervene either. It's just that after I kill this person and take his things, many pills and materials I won't be able to use myself. Selling them myself would definitely take time and be quite troublesome. I just hope Brother Yu can buy these materials from me at 60% of the market price, how about it?"
Yu Chengguang was taken aback; the other party wanted him to take his stolen goods. At 60% of the market price, it meant he could take away 40% of the profit for himself. Who wouldn't want such a good deal?
However, Yu Chengguang had some concerns. After all, this was a risky business. If others found out he had taken this stolen property, the forces behind this person would definitely come after him, and he would inevitably face some trouble.
Black Zhan truly played his cards well. After cashing out all at once, he could leave Dongguang City and enjoy freedom anywhere. He was sure that the materials, pills, and Holy Veins on Qin Chen were definitely worth a fortune.
"What do you say?
Do you dare, Brother Yu?
If you don't dare, I can find someone else. I believe there are still plenty of spirited people in Dongguang City. Besides, you won’t be making a move yourself. The forces behind this person will only direct their killing intent at me. I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Seeing Yu Chengguang hesitate for so long without a response, Black Zhan couldn't help but sneer.
"Fine, I'll help you with your theft, but I can only buy it at 50% of the market price. Also, you can't tell anyone that you sold these things to me."
