I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 764: Tea Leaves That Can’t Be Bought

Lu Zheng said, "I can offer more money. Whatever price you're selling this tea to the trading teams, I'll pay you triple."

The man shook his head, "We have a trade agreement, it's a long-term business, no matter the price, we won't sell."

Lu Zheng, "..."

Am I being looked down upon for trying to force a purchase?

Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying couldn't help but laugh, holding hands behind, happily watching Lu Zheng get frustrated.

"Alright!" Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up and didn't continue to bargain, "I'll follow you to the firm and buy from them instead, how about that?"

The man nodded, "Suit yourself."

So, Lu Zheng followed this group from the Southern Border into Yongzhou City and arrived at the first trading firm.

The first firm purchased thirty pounds of February Fragrance from the man.

Ten thousand coins per pound.

It was indeed the price of top-grade tea.

After the transaction was completed, Lu Zheng approached the firm for purchase.

"Not for sale," said the firm's Shopkeeper.

"Still not for sale?" Lu Zheng glared, "You opened your shop to do business and you won't sell?"

"To be honest, the thirty pounds of February Fragrance each year are actually meant for gifting by our boss and are not for sale."

"I'll pay more!"

"Sorry, not for sale."

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded. Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, holding hands behind him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In fact, if Lu Zheng displayed his abilities, not to mention buying, these two places would probably willingly gift the tea.

However, Lu Zheng clearly wasn't one to bully others with his power. He preferred to pay more rather than exercise privilege. This helpless expression amused and endeared him to the two women.

"Let's go! Try another place!" Lu Zheng said huffily to the man buying tea; at this moment, he was more anxious than they were.

The man couldn't help but chuckle, "Scholar, don't worry. There are a hundred pounds of February Fragrance in total for the three trading firms. We brought a few extra pounds just in case. Once I've completed the handover with the other two firms, if there's anything left, I'll sell it to you, cheaper."

The other men carrying loads also laughed. After all, seeing Lu Zheng with two women, one could tell they were either wealthy or noble. Yet he showed no signs of bullying, which made them like him.

Lu Zheng nodded in thanks, "Thank you all, but I'd like to buy a few more pounds. Let's go ask the other two firms."

...

The second firm also received thirty pounds and gave Lu Zheng the same response as the first.

At the third firm, they weighed forty pounds, and the response to Lu Zheng's purchase attempt remained the same.

The only difference was, the Shopkeepers at the first and second firms were middle-aged men, but at this firm, the Shopkeeper was a girl who seemed only eighteen.

Qin Huilian slightly bowed, her smile impeccably flawless, yet she said, "Sorry, this tea is not for sale."

Lu Zheng, "..."

The man buying tea laughed heartily, patting Lu Zheng on the shoulder, "Scholar, we still have a pound and a half left. If you want it, ten thousand coins for you!"

"Alright, thank you, brother!"

Lu Zheng took out ten treasure notes and bought the remaining tea from the man. Then he looked back at Qin Huilian before leaving.

"Lu Lang, that girl has been placed under a spell," Liu Qingyan said softly.

Shen Ying nodded, "It's the penetrating fragrance from the Flower Cloud Sect, its scent drifts for miles, only they can sense it."

Lu Zheng weighed the tea leaves in his hand, "She's been targeted by someone from the Flower Cloud Sect."

Liu Qingyan couldn't help but frown, "The Flower Cloud Sect again?"

Lu Zheng nodded, sighing, "Don't frown. The remaining tea will have to be entrusted to this disciple of the Flower Cloud Sect."

Liu Qingyan was fretting with a frown, but upon hearing this, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shen Ying also chuckled, "Lu Lang, you're taking advantage of her situation."

"No, no, no, I'm just making reasonable use of my resources. Those disciples from the Flower Cloud Sect weren't sent by me."

Lu Zheng waved his hands, feeling proud rather than ashamed, "Let's go, let's wander the streets, and come back tonight. By then, we'll stage a rescue. Surely buying ten pounds of tea wouldn't be a problem."

...

"Shameless debaucher!"

A light reprimand echoed in the courtyard of the Shuntai Trading Team's residence.

Then, a bright sword light flashed, slicing through the air, weaving through a mass of dense colorful clouds.

In the midst of the clouds, a young man in a blue robe, looking twenty to thirty years old, was shaking a banner, trying to escape over the wall.

Opposite him stood a young man in white, forming a sword gesture with his fingers, controlling the sword to stab fiercely at the disciple of the Flower Cloud Sect.

In the inner chambers of the courtyard, members of the trading team were either quietly sneaking a peek or were greatly excited by the fierce battle occurring within.

An Abnormal People's magical duel!

This isn't something you see every day, it's something to boast about in the future!

What, scared?

Scared of what! Didn't you see that the Sword Immortal has the upper hand?

...

On the roof of a house, half a mile from the trading team's courtyard, Lu Zheng was speechlessly watching the magical duel.

Someone meddling!

"I just want some tea, it's not even Spirit Tea, is this necessary?" Lu Zheng said.

Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying paid no heed to Lu Zheng, instead showing great interest in watching the duel.

February Fragrance is just Mortal Tea, to put it bluntly, it's merely a joke and sideline during their tour, considering they rarely saw Abnormal People's magical combat while spending most of their time in Tonglin County.

So, even though neither of the two in the battle was particularly skilled, they watched with great interest.

"This young man looks familiar!"

Liu Qingyan blinked, "Oh right, isn't he that..."

"Xu Yihong!" Lu Zheng exclaimed.

"Who?" Shen Ying asked curiously. She didn't know.

"A disciple from the Gu Yan Peak under Huilong Mountain in Junzhou in Chuandong Dao," Liu Qingyan said.

"He once chased a debaucher, and we met him once."

Lu Zheng stroked his chin, "He's really targeting those debauchers..."

While Xu Yihong was fiercely battling the Flower Cloud Sect disciple, Liu Qingyan explained Xu Yihong's story to Shen Ying.

Lu Zheng said, "I learned the Sword Refining Technique from him, which eventually led to the trip west to Feiyu Mountain."

"So it was him!"

Shen Ying was learning this for the first time since her first trip far from home was with Lu Zheng to Feiyu Mountain, and he had mentioned the matter to her, but she didn't know Xu Yihong's name.

"Last time, he almost perished together with a debaucher. I hope he's okay today," Lu Zheng said, looking at the courtyard not far away.

The next moment, an unexpected change occurred.

The young man in the blue robe, who was breaking out of the courtyard, suddenly paused, waving the banner desperately, in which a mist of colorful clouds briefly trapped the flying sword.

Then, instead of advancing, he retreated diagonally with a leap, crashing into Qin Huilian's room on the second floor.

"Not good!"

Xu Yihong failed to stop him in time, planning to follow up when he saw the young man in the blue robe taking Qin Huilian through another window, running in Lu Zheng's direction.
