Chapter 123: Not Ancient Martial Arts

Translator: Tim Editor: Chrissy

An Yan, standing beside Ye Mo, froze. Someone actually wanted to pay 300,000 for a necklace? She immediately reacted, contemptuously saying, “You can tell they're working together; they're not professional at all.”

However, the youth beside her seriously said, “They aren’t working together. I know that old monk. He’s from that ancient stall; he seems to be from Jue Yun Temple. That sort of person would never do such a thing. It seems the necklace may really be a magic artifact.”

“Ah…” An Yan exclaimed. She hadn’t expected the person to increase the price to be an old monk from an ancient stall. This was a clear sign that Ye Mo’s items were real.

“How about I buy one for you?” The youth, knowing An Yan liked the necklace and wanting to please her, said immediately, seeing her expression.

“Okay, I want one, but…” An Yan had wanted one but couldn’t bring herself to do it for the sake of her dignity. However, she hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. The product she thought to be fake had become popular. She immediately thought the necklace was gone; otherwise, why would the old monk be fighting over one with the woman?

Ye Mo hadn’t expected to find someone who knew his wares, but he’d already sold his item to the woman and wouldn’t sell it to a second person. Seeing the woman look over, Ye Mo immediately said, “You came first, you pay.”

At this moment, everyone around understood that the old monk came from the ancient stall. Even he was buying Ye Mo’s item, so this meant Ye Mo’s items were real. At this moment, more and more people came to Ye Mo’s stall.

The middle-aged man, realizing he’d made a great deal, quickly approached Ye Mo, saying, “If you trust me, I’ll give you a check and help you with the tax.”

Ye Mo didn’t care much; it was good as long as he got the money, and he indeed didn’t have a card.

Hearing this, the woman and the youth agreed. Ye Mo was alone and couldn’t leave with these people, but they were all honest. When they left to handle the tax, they didn’t take the items.

The youth with An Yan immediately approached Ye Mo politely, saying, “Friend, do you have any more necklaces? Can you sell one to me? Or we can order one; the price is no problem.”

Ye Mo, seeing the annoying woman hadn’t approached and feeling a little better, immediately replied, “Sorry, the necklaces are gone, and you can’t order them. A master told me to sell them for him. They’re gone after these five.”

Hearing Ye Mo’s words, not only the youth but also An Yan were disappointed. She truly regretted not buying one for 100,000.

However, more and more people were asking about them. The youth, seeing Ye Mo was indeed sold out, could only set his sights on the two who’d just bought them. They each had one. He wondered if they’d sell one to her. Thinking this, the youth said to the girl, “Hello, you bought three necklaces; could you sell one to me? I can pay an extra 100,000.”

The girl immediately raised the corner of her mouth, saying annoyedly, “Do you think I’m someone who needs your 100,000?”

The people around could tell the girl indeed didn’t need the 100,000.

Ye Mo sighed to himself. It seemed the brand power of the ancient character was effective. He’d sold three to the middle-aged man purely due to luck, but the people who came later were because of the old monk and his brand.

At this moment, the old monk was still investigating the pills inside Ye Mo’s bottle. He kept sniffing and even asked if Ye Mo could take them out for him to see. Of course, Ye Mo didn’t mind; the old monk had helped him advertise. Although he’d pretty much sold his necklaces, he was still grateful to the old monk.

The middle-aged man, the woman, and the youth had all come back. The middle-aged man had a 2,000,000 check for Ye Mo and said, “The other two have given me the money, and I helped you get a check. I’ve paid the tax for you already.”

Ye Mo had an even better impression of the middle-aged man. He was probably afraid Ye Mo would be tricked and took the money and helped Ye Mo get a check. It could be seen that he was a man of morality; otherwise, he wouldn’t have done this.

Ye Mo took the check and said, “Thank you, but I don’t have that much money.”

The middle-aged man smiled and waved, “I know. I still want to buy a few bottles of your pills. Let’s see how many pills I can buy with the rest of the money, and just give me a few bottles.”

Before Ye Mo could say anything, hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the old monk said, “Patron, I’ll take the rest of the pills; name your price.” It seemed the old monk was afraid others would buy the rest and spoke first.

Indeed, as soon as the old monk spoke, people on the side began to regret it.

Ye Mo smiled, “Okay, 200,000 a pill then. However, I’m not a patron; I’ll be taking money.” Ye Mo knew that of all the people here, he was probably the poorest, but he didn’t feel it necessary to charge more.

Ye Mo took four bottles and gave them to the middle-aged man, saying, “There are two bottles of the same emergency pill, one bottle of beauty pill, and another bottle is for cultivation. I’ve written down the specifics on the paper inside the bottle. Open it and look.”

The remaining six bottles were all bought by the old monk.

Seeing that Ye Mo’s things were really bought by the old monk, more people immediately rushed to buy, but Ye Mo had sold everything.

Seeing that even Ye Mo’s pills were sold out and he was preparing to leave, An Yan realized she’d gotten nothing. If what the old monk said was true, then his beauty pills must really have those effects?

The most important thing, however, was that the necklace she’d wanted first was gone. This immediately made An Yan feel things were unfair and she could no longer worry about her dignity. She squeezed in and said to Ye Mo, “I saw your things first. I won’t ask to buy one now, but can you reserve a necklace for me?”

Her tone had obviously softened. Now that she thought about it, she really liked that necklace, but as the youth had said, there was only one opportunity. She could earn 200,000 again, but the opportunity wouldn’t come back.

Now, even the middle-aged man felt An Yan was being ridiculous. She’d just said Ye Mo’s things were trash worth only a few hundred dollars, but now she was asking to order. He couldn’t help but shake his head. Luckily, he hadn’t heeded this woman’s words; otherwise, he would really be regretting it.

Ye Mo really wanted to take pre-orders and go back to continue making them, but he knew this thing could only stop now. He could still make excuses now, but if he made too much, it would be hard to explain. Plus, this thing had been exposed too much due to that old monk.

Thinking this, Ye Mo could only say, “Really sorry, but I’m selling these for someone else. As for whether there will be more, I really can’t guarantee. Perhaps I will sell more at the next exhibition, but it mainly depends on whether there will be more products.”

Ye Mo didn’t seal the deal. After all, this money was too easy to earn. Perhaps he would need money again and could come back to earn another round. And, this exhibition happened every year; it was just held at different places.

Seeing Ye Mo say this, many people walked away in disappointment. Although they were disappointed, they didn’t regret too much. After all, it was just a magic artifact; no one had really seen its powers.

However, only the middle-aged man and the old monk didn’t leave. Even An Yan left in anger, cursing Ye Mo countless times.

“I’m Yi Jiuhe; I run a few companies, and this is my card. If you need any help, please ask.” Then, Yi Jiuhe took out his card. His many years of experience in the business industry made him feel Ye Mo wasn’t an ordinary person. Thus, he wanted to connect with him, so he left a card. Ye Mo didn’t have a card nor a phone, so he could only say something polite.

After waiting a while, Ye Mo didn’t give him a name card. Although Yi Jiuhe was disappointed, he saw the old monk wanted to talk to Ye Mo, so he could only take his two daughters and leave.

“Dad, this is the first time I see you give a name card, but the person didn’t give one back,” one of the girls following Yi Jiuhe said.

“Sister, you’re wrong; it’s not that this person doesn’t want to give Dad a card. See, he didn’t even have a bank card; how can he have a name card? I think he probably doesn’t even have a phone. Perhaps this thing really was made by a master living in the mountains who gave it to him to sell,” the other girl immediately rebuked.

Yi Jiuhe’s eyes brightened. He immediately realized Ye Mo quite possibly didn’t have a name card and it wasn’t that he didn’t want to be connected to him. Then, he couldn’t help but pat the girl’s head and say, “Mhm, Yan Yan is right; he doesn’t look like an arrogant person. He is truly a master. And you two need to remember to wear your necklaces at all times.”

Seeing the middle-aged man leave with his two girls and Ye Mo’s stall was empty, the old monk said, “I’m Wu Guang from Jue Yun Temple. What is your surname, patron?”

Ye Mo thought and looked at the small ancient character at the edge of the old monk’s sleeve and asked, “May I ask Elder Wu Guang if you’re from the ancient martial arts sects?”

The old monk nodded and said, “Ancient martial arts aren’t easy; they usually don’t come into the world. I’m just a normal monk in Jue Yun Temple; however, I came to this exhibition to help some ancient martial arts sects sell some things. I do have a few things I wish to inquire about, patron. Do you have time?”

Ye Mo was greatly disappointed. So the people here weren’t really from the ancient martial arts sects, but those who came to sell their things. It seemed it would be hard for him to ask about Luo Susu.
