The stall owner glanced at the item priced in silver taels and said, "There are twenty-eight items in total, the cheapest is one hundred taels, and the most expensive is four thousand taels. The total price is forty-three thousand five hundred taels. I'll give you a discount and call it forty-two thousand taels of silver."
Su Han heard this and asked, "Is ten thousand taels of silver acceptable?"
The stall owner quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, that won't do. At ten thousand taels, I wouldn't even break even. Forty-two thousand taels of silver. I can't go any lower."
Su Han directly asked, "Then what's your bottom price? Is twenty thousand acceptable?"
"I already said no. Then I'll lower it a bit more. Forty-one thousand taels of silver."
"Twenty-five thousand taels."
"Forty thousand taels. Honestly, I can't go any lower. If you want it any cheaper, then go to another stall. This is my price."
"Deal."
"Alright then, forty thousand taels. Customer, do you want to pay with cash or physical silver?"
"Physical silver, of course."
Su Han waved his hand, and a large pile of silver appeared beside them.
The stall owner's eyes revealed greed as he looked at the pile of silver. "Customer, I didn't expect you to have such a storage magical artifact. It seems you are indeed a wealthy patron. How about you give me your storage ring, and I'll give you all the items on this stall?"
Su Han shook his head, rejecting the stall owner's offer. Even Su Han knew that storage magical artifacts were at least Spirit Artifact grade, far more valuable than low-grade artifacts.
The stall owner said, "Alright then, customer, all the items you bought are here. I'll wrap them up for you with a cloth."
The stall owner took out a piece of cloth and prepared to wrap up all the items for Su Han.
Su Han refused, "No need to wrap them."
Su Han threw all the purchased items into his storage space.
Following this, Su Han left amidst the envious gazes of ordinary people.
On this cultivator's street, Su Han had bought four jade slips and a pile of other items. After this, Su Han and the others began to leisurely stroll down the street.
Meanwhile, outside the White Crane Cultivator Street, hovering vehicles quietly floated in the sky.
Many cultivators could see these hovering vehicles and treated them as magical artifacts. They came and went below, yet none of the cultivators bothered to examine what kind of magical artifact the hovering vehicle was.
Finally, after a long while, a cultivator decided to go up and take a look at the hovering vehicle.
A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage flew up to the hovering vehicle.
"This magical artifact is truly peculiar. Let me see what this magical artifact is all about."
With that said, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator reached out his hand to touch the hovering vehicle.
The artificial intelligence inside the hovering vehicle identified the person as non-hostile and immediately retreated, evading the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's hand.
"Oh, it retreated? This magical artifact is controlled by someone? It seems the owner of this magical artifact is paying attention to this place."
Then, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator shouted, "Fellow daoist owner of this magical artifact, please come out for a meeting. I wish to purchase this magical artifact. Rest assured, the price will be enticing. I offer five thousand spirit stones for this magical artifact."
The words spoken by this person were immediately transmitted as a signal to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan cautiously said, "There's a situation at the hovering vehicle."
Su Han quickly led his companions to a secluded corner. Lin Dong and Xiao Yan stood guard behind them.
Ye Fan opened his satellite phone and showed Su Han the footage captured by the hovering vehicle.
Su Han looked at the person in the footage who was flying up and shouting at the hovering vehicle.
Ye Fan said, "This person is from the White Crane Sect."
The person was wearing a white robe embroidered with white cranes.
Su Han said, "This person can fly. It seems their strength is at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage. It's more likely Foundation Establishment. Use the other cameras of the hovering vehicle to survey the surrounding environment."
Ye Fan manipulated the hovering vehicle's other cameras to observe the surrounding environment again. The hovering vehicle had many cameras that could capture the surrounding environment.
The footage on the satellite phone continuously moved. While filming the person below, Su Han noticed that two elderly individuals were also wearing White Crane Sect attire.
These two white-haired elderly individuals were seen observing the middle-aged man in the sky.
Su Han said, "Do you see these two elderly people? These two elderly people are likely protecting the middle-aged man. Judging by this configuration, that middle-aged man might be someone of high status in the White Crane Sect. Perhaps he is a young sect master, similar to the one we encountered before. If only we could hear what the people below are saying, then we would know what they are discussing."
At this moment, Xiao Yan, standing behind them, said, "I can read lips. I can see what they said."
Su Han said, "I didn't expect you, Xiao Yan, to be able to read lips in addition to operating all sorts of vehicles. Then quickly look at these."
Xiao Yan walked over, while Ye Fan stepped back to join Lin Dong in monitoring the surroundings.
Xiao Yan began to read the lips and speak out what he saw.
"Isn't that the young sect master of the White Crane Sect up there? He actually wants that magical artifact?"
"The White Crane Sect has everything. I didn't expect him to want that magical artifact up there."
"The young sect master of the White Crane Sect, it's truly great to have a good background. To be able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage like this."
"However, that magical artifact up there is a bit strange. I can't sense any spiritual energy from it at all."
"Could it be that the magical artifact up there is very good at concealing its aura, making it impossible for us to sense its spiritual energy?"
After hearing this, Su Han confirmed that the person was indeed the young sect master of the White Crane Sect, as he had suspected.
Su Han said, "Alright, Xiao Yan, you don't need to read lips anymore. I have the information I need. By the way, Xiao Yan, where did you learn to read lips?"
Xiao Yan said sheepishly, "When I used to drive, I often saw people in their cars cursing at me through two layers of windows. After seeing it repeatedly, I unconsciously learned to read lips."
Lin Dong teased, "Then Xiao Yan, in the beginning, you were reading lips for things like 'ABC's', right?"
Xiao Yan's face showed embarrassment. "Something like that!"
Su Han said, "Well, I didn't expect us to encounter another young sect master. It seems this young sect master is also a prodigal son. He's already middle-aged. He must have cultivated for a hundred years but only reached the Foundation Establishment stage. However, even prodigal young sect masters have their uses. Coincidentally, we are severely lacking in spirit stones."
