Episode 27: Big Deal!

  At this moment, Li Yan still did not know that someone wanted to deal with him. He was in his own home, carefully watching the herbs in his Mustard Seed Space and the mutated tea flowers that had been successfully cultivated.

  Herbs are not something that can be planted successfully overnight, even with the help of Susano'o's space-time ninjutsu and spiritual energy. Wanting to cultivate a thousand-year-old heavenly herb is also an extremely difficult task.

  Li Yan is currently mainly concerned with those few pots of rare tea flowers, after all, this is his fast way to make money and buy Shanhe House, at least until he finds a faster way to make money.

  After nearly half a month of variation, those few pots of tea flowers have successfully varied seven pots, and even among them is a pot of thirteen taibao, such a divine product! Moving all these successfully varied flowers out of the Xu Mi space and placing them in my own room instantly caused my mother to be shocked with suspicion.

  The next day, after his mother had finished selling her goods, Li Yan took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Manager Liu from Baijing Garden. Now, all he wanted to do was to exchange these flowers for money.

  The two agreed to meet at noon near a bank in the Flower and Bird Market, and Li Yan hastily left the door.

  He first took a taxi to the bank next to the flower and bird market, then used the location of a public toilet to move out seven pots of mountain tea flowers, which fell on the wall, and then called Liu manager to come and pick up the goods.

  These camellias are all top-notch treasures, and Li Yan is completely confident that he can sell them for a sky-high price. Even if this still isn't enough to buy the Shanhe Residence, he can just buy some ordinary camellias back and breed new varieties. After all, with his abilities, as long as he doesn't disrupt the market, he can cultivate all sorts of rare and precious camellias without any restrictions. Of course, other types of flowers are naturally no exception.

  Manager Liu arrived quickly and from a distance saw Li Yan's precious tea flowers, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

  "Heavens, I'm not seeing things, am I? This is the Seventh Fairy Maiden and there's also the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea... Heavens, this can't be the legendary Thirteen Taibao, can it?"

  As he approached, he shook his head vigorously and finally came to his senses. He asked in a somewhat dazed tone: "Li Yan, my brother, you're not planning to sell all of these, are you?" Now he understood why Old Man Wang had wanted him to buy that pot of Fengchen Sanxia at such a high price. It turned out that the old man had already guessed that since Li Yan was a connoisseur, he must have other treasures as well. This was what they called "casting a long line to catch a big fish".

  "Of course." Li Yan glanced at Manager Liu, and smiled with a hint of profundity: "I was very satisfied with the last transaction with Manager Liu, that's why I came to find him. What, doesn't Manager Liu want to?"

  "Ah, no way!" Manager Liu hastily apologized and said: "It's just that the transaction amount this time is quite large, and as a manager of a flower market, I don't have the authority to make decisions. So, we can only let our boss come over and discuss it with you in person." He immediately made a phone call.

  The two of them waited in place for over ten minutes, when suddenly a sleek silver Hummer stopped by the side of the road with a loud whoosh. The car was very intimidating, but the driver was a somewhat sleazy young fat guy. According to Li Yan's estimate, his weight had to be at least over 200 pounds, without limit...

  "My god, you fatso, can't you drive a bit more sensibly? If something happens, can you afford to pay for it?" As soon as the car stopped, a handsome young man in the passenger seat started scolding and shouting, but his words were mostly joking.

  "I'm telling you, Lin Shao, aren't you clear about my skills yet? Although I've gained some weight over the past two years, my skills haven't regressed at all." The two of them got off the car one after another, walking towards this direction amidst their giggles and playful jokes.

  At this time, Manager Liu hurriedly came up with a smile on his face: "Boss, Lin Shao, you've arrived."

  "I said Liu Wei, you shouldn't have been cheated, seven pots of rare tea flowers, how is that possible?" Lin Shao beside him had already asked with a few doubts before the fat man could speak.

  Manager Liu's face was filled with a bitter smile, just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, when a shout came from beside him: "Heavens! Is this the legendary Thirteen Taibao? Old Heaven, am I seeing things?"

  Lin Shao also hastily turned his head, but saw not far away a relatively secluded wall edge, with over ten potted camellias, each competing to bloom, colorful and gorgeous beyond compare. Moreover, each one was an exquisite piece, a rare treasure. At this moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

  Liu Wei hastily led the two to Li Yan's side and introduced, "This is Li Yan, the flower seller. This is our boss Fang Yuan, and this is Lin Xincheng, also known as Lin Shao."

  "Hello, Mr. Fang and Lin Shao." Li Yan hastily greeted the two of them, then stepped aside to let them inspect the goods. No choice, this was a big deal after all, so it's only natural that they would be meticulous.

  "Treasures, all treasures." After a closer inspection, Fang Piaozi's eyes shone even brighter. The flower market wasn't short of flowers, but those were ordinary varieties, the kind that everyone had, and others naturally had too. What was lacking was this rare treasure. With these flowers, his career would surely reach new heights!

  "Li Yan, little brother, are all these flowers really for sale?" Fang Baozi asked in a low voice after taking a deep breath. He was usually calm and composed, but his breathing seemed to quicken slightly, which surprised Lin Shaobai standing beside him. However, he wasn't a businessman, so he couldn't fully understand Fang's thoughts.

  "Yes." Li Yan was not an ordinary flower seller after all. He was a carefree immortal who had roamed the various major star domains in the past and had seen all sorts of grand scenes, let alone these few pots of tea flowers. If he hadn't just arrived and didn't understand the specific depth of the cultivation forces on this planet, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.

  Having had countless experiences of trading with people, Li Yan naturally understood that no matter what kind of person the other party was, during the transaction process, he must keep himself as calm as possible. Only in this way could he suppress his opponent's momentum and win the greatest benefit for himself.

  When Fang Paozi's face lit up with excitement, Li Yan had a hint of a smile on his face, and he said calmly: "As long as the price is right, I'll sell."

  "This is natural." Fang Yuan was not a fool either, and since the other party could bring out so many precious tea flowers, he must be an expert. So, he didn't play those tricks of intentionally lowering the price, and directly quoted the actual price: "This pot of 'Wind Dust Three Chivalrous Men' is indeed a rare item, but it's not uncommon on the market either. I'll give you 30 million for it, Brother Li Yan, what do you think?"

  "Good." Li Yan nodded, which was considered acceptable. Since he had sold a pot of this tea flower before, he naturally knew that the price offered by the other party was already somewhat high, and this was the other party's intention to show goodwill, so he had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

  "These two basins of Five Blessings are of good quality, I'll sell them for 7 million..."

  Upon hearing this, Li Yan nodded his head, which was also a form of agreement. He had previously investigated the relevant data and knew the market price, so he thought the price offered by the other party was absolutely reasonable.

  "This pot of Seven Fairies is of extremely good quality, even better than the treasure in that broken shop of mine. No need to say more, 10 million..."

  "This pot is the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and in the past two years, it's been impossible to find this kind of rare treasure on the market. The price for that pot three years ago was 150 million, now with the market appreciation, I'll directly double the price to 300 million, what do you think?"

  "As for this thirteen taobao, I'm afraid I can't estimate it because it hasn't appeared in the world for over a decade, so the price is not easy to convert. I can only give you a reference price of 50 million, I don't know if Brother Li Yan will accept?"

  "Five million?! Li Yan heard this and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, with this calculation, the money from selling flowers would be enough for him to buy Shanhe Residence himself..."
