Seeing it, Ye Tian's heart pounded, and he said, "This is a Golden Toad, truly a good thing. What price did they offer you?"
Wang Fuquan replied, "They started at five million, then it rose to fifteen million. But I always felt, with so many people asking about it, the price must be higher."
Ye Tian asked, "What is your internal price?"
Wang Fuquan smiled and said, "Whatever you give is fine."
Ye Tian said, "You name the price, and if it's reasonable, I'll take it."
Wang Fuquan considered for a few seconds, then held up one finger and said, "I think it's worth at least one hundred million."
Ye Tian chuckled, "One hundred million, that's not expensive."
Wang Fuquan smiled, "I knew you understood its value."
Ye Tian stated, "This is called a Three-Legged Golden Toad, and it can be used in medicine."
Wang Fuquan said, "No wonder they all wanted it."
Ye Tian stood up and walked a few steps, saying, "Selling this to me means you want to get rid of this hot potato, so one hundred million is too much. How about this, I'll give you sixty million. If you're willing to sell, I'll take it and handle all the trouble associated with it."
Wang Fuquan smiled and said, "Deal, I'm willing to sell! But I must sell it to you in front of everyone."
Ye Tian agreed, "Alright. Doesn't Wolf City have a Ghost Market? We'll trade there."
Wang Fuquan said, "Yes, there's a Ghost Market tonight. Will you accompany me?"
Ye Tian replied, "I was planning to visit the Ghost Market anyway. Let's go."
Wang Fuquan got into Ye Tian's car, and Liang Zi drove them towards the Ghost Market.
Along the way, Wang Fuquan told Ye Tian that Wolf City's Ghost Market was quite famous nationwide because many foreigners came to sell goods, from as far north as the Russian Federation to as far south as the Kingdom of Thailand, with many seeking it out. The items sold were also incredibly diverse, with all sorts of wares available.
The Ghost Market was located in a Gobi desert area on the outskirts, offering a wide vista. They arrived at 8:45 PM, and the market had only been open for a little over an hour.
On the vast Gobi expanse, lamps were lit, at least ten thousand of them, appearing like stars from a distance.
Ye Tian said, "Find a spot to set up your stall, and I'll come over in a bit."
Wang Fuquan nodded and entered the Ghost Market ahead of him.
Ye Tian wasn't in a hurry. He checked his phone; the signal was good, and he could arrange a bank transfer later.
Zhang Jiliang said, "Brother Ye, it's easy to buy fakes here. Please be careful."
Ye Tian replied, "It's fine. I only buy things that interest me, and they can't trick me."
They walked and looked, passing dozens of stalls. Ye Tian suddenly stopped. Since becoming the Mingxin Martial King, his senses were a thousand times more acute than those of ordinary people.
At that moment, he saw an old monk sitting there, without a lamp, with a string of prayer beads in front of him. The old monk was dark and thin, not appearing to be from the Central Plains.
Ye Tian sensed a peculiar energy emanating from the prayer beads and asked, "Master, how much are you selling these prayer beads for?"
The old monk did not look up and said, "Buddha blesses those who are destined. Give whatever you feel is right."
Ye Tian smiled and asked, "Do I name the price?"
The old monk replied, "As fate allows."
Ye Tian picked up the prayer beads and felt that they were polished from the bones of some animal, with fine textures. The beads were red and looked quite beautiful.
Holding the prayer beads, he felt a sense of peace and knew it was a treasure. He said, "Master, I'll give you ten million."
The old monk nodded, "Good."
Ye Tian took out a check and handed it to the old monk with both hands, saying, "This can be cashed at all domestic banks, and also at major overseas banks."
The old monk didn't even check its authenticity. He took the check, clasped his hands together, and chanted a Buddhist phrase.
After buying the prayer beads, Ye Tian began to play with them on his hand and continued to walk forward.
Soon, he arrived in front of Wang Fuquan, who was sitting on a rock with a handkerchief spread out before him.
Ye Tian asked with a smile, "What are you selling?"
Wang Fuquan, pretending not to know him, immediately took out the Three-Legged Golden Toad and said, "Three-Legged Golden Toad."
Ye Tian took it and examined it, saying, "Not bad. What's your price?"
Wang Fuquan replied, "One hundred million."
Ye Tian played along, and after some haggling, he bought the Three-Legged Golden Toad for sixty million.
Upon receiving the check, Wang Fuquan left the scene.
Ye Tian and Zhang Jiliang continued walking forward. After about a hundred meters, Ye Tian suddenly stopped, staring blankly at a statue not far ahead.
