I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-85

Actually, Jiang Beiran had wanted to buy a house at the foot of the mountain since a long time ago. After all, it was always better to have more places to stay. It was not his habit to put all his eggs in one basket.

During this time, Gu Qinghuan had also found quite a number of large houses that met his requirements. However, every time Jiang Beiran requested a broker to “look at the house”, the system would immediately give him the options when he thought of buying the house. The reward could be a yellow grade, or even high tier of black grade.

However, Jiang Beiran also understood very well, because he knew that the requirement of having a place with rich spiritual essence in the house was too strict.

What was a place with rich spiritual essence? The cultivation place at the back of the mountain of the Sect of Returning Hearts was a place with rich spiritual essence, and such a place would naturally be fought over by the practitioners.

Therefore, if one wanted to buy such a house, one first had to find a reliable broker, and then the seller did not have any ill intentions. After all, there were frauds and scams of house dealing happened before in the Land of Black Dragon.

However, while the buyer was afraid of being cheated, the seller was also afraid of encountering a “robber buyer”. For example, if a great mystic practitioner wanted to sell a big house and was taken in by a great mystic practitioner, the latter might even kill the seller during the transaction. This kind of cases did happen before.

Then, it was even more difficult for the broker. The buyer might kill the seller, the seller might kill the buyer, or both parties might even kill the broker together if the transaction did not go well.

Therefore, when the broker received such a request, the less he knew, the safer he was. He did not know where the mansion was, or how many acres of land with rich spiritual energy were in the mansion. In any case, he was just a matchmaker. As for how to sell the mansion, the buyer and seller could discuss it themselves. He did not want to know anything.

In short, selling this kind of mansion was a gamble for the buyer, the seller, and the broker. As for why they still gambled when they knew it was so dangerous, it was naturally because of the huge benefits.

The seller definitely did not want to give up such a rich spiritual essence land that he had inherited or discovered. On the other hand, the buyer wanted to buy it to quickly increase his strength. As for the broker, as long as he completed the deal safely and received the reward, then, he would not have to worry about the rest of his life.

In conclusion, it was really difficult to buy a mansion with rich spiritual essence without any risk. This was why Jiang Beiran had not been able to buy one for so many years. Now, he finally had the opportunity.

“Yes, I am very interested in the mansion that you have described. If it is possible, I would like to meet the seller immediately.” Hearing that Jiang Beiran was interested, eight of the bears immediately replied excitedly, “No problem. I’ll definitely introduce the seller to you as soon as possible.”

“How soon will it take?”

“The seller will come back to town at dusk every day. Give me an address. I’ll inform you as soon as the seller comes back.”

Jiang Beiran took a look at Gu Qinghuan after hearing that. Gu Qinghuan immediately took over the question and started chatting with Xiong Ba.

After discussing all the details, Gu Qinghuan brought Jiang Beiran to the Ecstasy Inn and booked an empty private room.

After sending the waiter away, Gu Qinghuan reported to Jiang Beiran, “I told the broker to let us meet the seller here in the evening.”

“Okay, then I’ll go out for a walk first. I’ll come back in the evening.”

“Yes.”

Gu Qinghuan knew that his senior brother liked to stroll around. After respectfully sending his senior brother off, he sat down by the window and waited for the setting sun.

At midnight, Jiang Beiran returned to the inn of on time. He saw the broker had arrived, and a man in a dark red robe was sitting beside him.

“Brother Jiang.” Gu Qinghuan immediately stood up and called out when he saw Jiang Beiran return.

Following Gu Qinghuan’s gaze, the man in the red robe also stood up and cupped his hands toward Jiang Beiran, saying, “Nice to meet

you.”

“Nice to meet you.”

When he returned the greeting to the red-robed man, Jiang Beiran also used his mind power to test his cultivation and found that his cultivation was not low. He was a level five great mystic practitioner of level five, which was as strong as an elite disciple of the Sect of Returning Hearts.

“Then please take your time to discuss your business. I’ll take my leave first.”

Seeing that his duty had been fulfilled, Xiong Ba quickly took his leave and closed the door of the private room tightly.

“I’m Feng Caiying, a disciple of the Sect of Ascending Cloud.” After the door was closed, Feng Caiying once again cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran and introduced himself.

“I’m Wang Laowu, a disciple of the Sect of Willow Forest.”

After both parties finished introducing themselves, they looked at each other and smiled. To them, a name was really just a code name, as long as it could be used for communication. “Then I’ll get straight to the point. The area of dense spiritual essence in my courtyard is ten feet square. I wonder what price Brother Wang can offer?”

“Ten feet square… although it’s not big, it’s not bad.” Jiang Beiran thought. “Brother Feng, would you like a spirit stone or something of equivalent value?” Jiang Beiran replied.

“Brother Wu, you’re so straightforward. Spirit stone is naturally the best, but if you can come up with a weapon or attack-type magical item that I’m interested in, I can sell it to you at a lower price.”

“Oh? I wonder what kind of weapon Brother Feng usually likes to use?” “Saber!”

“Saber…” Jiang Beiran nodded, but he was surprised that the system was so peaceful today. There was no option popped up for this stranger at all.

This made Jiang Beiran, who had always felt that he was the target of the entire world since he came to this world, feel a little uncomfortable.

“Is my luck has finally changed?”

Without further thought, Jiang Beiran took out a Qilin Horn Saber from his storage ring and handed it to Feng Caiying. “I wonder if Brother Feng is interested in this saber?” The moment he saw the Qilin Horn Saber, Feng Yingcai’s eyes lit up. “Can I take a closer look?”

“Of course.” Jiang Beiran replied.
