"Indeed, you are quite young," the middle-aged man, thin as a monkey and with dark skin and a receding hairline, said with a slight pause as he looked at Yang Xiaoyou who had just entered the private room of a restaurant in the university town. A smile crept onto his face.
If it weren't for hearing his disciple emphasize repeatedly, he would truly struggle to connect the refined young man before him with the 'monster' his disciple had described.
However, knowing his disciple's cautious nature, he was certain that he would not deceive him on such matters.
Since that was the case, it meant that the youth before him was indeed formidable!
At the same time, Liu Shaoqiang, who was sitting beside him, stood up to begin the introductions.
After Yang Xiaoyou received the answers he sought from the Daoist Association, Liu Shaoqiang provided news that an elder from his sect had personally come, which led to this meeting.
Perhaps due to having encountered many strange things, the man nicknamed Black Bald did not react much after his initial surprise. He seemed to lower his stance and appeared reluctant to engage in conflict.
This kind of tough character was often the hardest to deal with, yet in some ways, they were also the most pragmatic.
"I understand your needs. However, I believe your disciple has already clarified that due to recent acquisitions, there are very few remaining Weapons, and their prices have been significantly inflated. As for magical artifacts, they are even scarcer. I just received news that the Daoist Association seems to be consolidating these artifacts. Given their authority, if we were to oppose them and they held a grudge against us during evaluations, it could directly impact our entire industry," Black Bald said steadily after revealing a set of yellowed teeth.
"Magical artifact Aspects. Just keep an eye on parts that the Daoist Association hasn't noticed. They are also working for me; there's no need for us to compete and drive up costs."
Upon hearing Black Bald's words, Yang Xiaoyou seemed unconcerned and smiled as he casually responded.
This sudden revelation shocked both men present!
The China Taoist Association was indeed a relatively loose organization. It might seem lacking in strength or threat. However, they specialized in tomb raiding and had considerable dealings with the Daoist Association.
They understood deeply the influence of this seemingly loose organization and its Foundation!
It was quite possible that a low-profile member at any branch could be a significant figure.
While many members might not fight tooth and nail for the association, when all their strengths were combined and expressed at the right moment, their influence could be astonishing.
Yet this very organization was expending so much effort for the young man before them? It was simply unbelievable!
Black Bald had indeed received extremely powerful news from Liu Shaoqiang, and it seemed there might be military connections involved.
At that moment, neither of them realized that, aside from their already remarkable identities, they could inexplicably stir the loose Daoist Association!
This caused an originally disorganized group to mobilize its forces from various places to search, even if it meant that their current President would have to pay a hefty price!
Whether due to relationships or transactions, the ability to achieve this was enough to place the young man before them in a position that was completely untouchable.
After making a judgment, Black Bald swallowed back his initial bargaining words and then patted his chest, stating that although he could not guarantee the quantity, he would do his utmost to collect all the Weapons still circulating in the market.
This attitude of recognizing the situation pleased Yang Xiaoyou greatly.
However, after finalizing this detail, Black Bald seemed to show a fleeting hesitation, as if he wanted something but then quickly returned to a calm demeanor.
"If there's anything else, just say it. After all, you are working for me. I will certainly not treat you unfairly." Yang Xiaoyou casually tossed out empty promises.
"Well, regarding Weapons and magical artifacts, we are preparing for a major deal soon. If successful, the quantity will definitely be substantial." After hesitating for a moment, Black Bald finally revealed an intention he had prepared from the start.
He had come personally to seek help from this young expert mentioned by his master and nephew. Young experts were often more passionate and impulsive, making them easier to persuade.
But upon meeting him in person, especially after realizing that the recent oddities surrounding the Daoist Association were related to him, Black Bald felt a strong desire to extinguish his intentions. Yet with such assistance right before him, he was reluctant to let it go, hence his hesitation.
Well, although he hadn't seen the other party's abilities directly, their influence had already exceeded his expectations. In this situation, discussing cooperation indeed felt quite risky.
However, he was somewhat unwilling to let it end like this. A great influence also meant that if he could win over the other party, it would greatly benefit him. Moreover, since the other party needed something from him at this moment, the likelihood of his requests being betrayed or leaked would undoubtedly decrease significantly.
Considering all these factors together, although it seemed a bit hasty, he decided to take a gamble.
"Oh, you want me to help you? As long as you can provide a valid reason, why not lend you a hand?" After tapping on the table, Yang Xiaoyou said with an amused expression.
He guessed that the other party might have their eyes set on some top-tier tomb.
Sure enough, what followed was exactly that; however, what caught Yang Xiaoyou's attention most was not their initial plan but rather an insight that emerged from it—something he had overlooked.
"The current royal tomb is undoubtedly the best preserved but also has the strictest defenses." Black Bald's other words were selectively ignored by Yang Xiaoyou as he completely focused on this one statement!
That's right!
What is the most powerful faction currently possessing the most magical artifacts?
The Daoist Association? Perhaps, but it requires tremendous effort to mobilize their overall strength!
The Tomb Raiding Group? Well, they certainly keep finding "goods" and have been selling them off continuously.
However, there exists a faction that is extremely low-key and inconspicuous, whose reputation completely overshadows their wealth. They even have to sell their own homes for others to visit in order to make ends meet. This family, which appears splendid on the outside but is crumbling within, actually possesses the largest stockpile of artifacts!
That would be the current royal family, the Luo Family!
When it comes down to it, the royal family indeed holds little real power. Their income from the Aspects barely sustains them, and this maintenance is based on their desire to uphold the royal facade!
Some wealth left by their ancestors has been relatively well-preserved!
At one point, the Third Prince, Roche, carried a magical artifact with him. It shattered when he was deprived of his powers, but when they met again, he quickly replaced it with another!
Their stockpile...
Damn it! Someone is undergoing tribulation! Thunder and lightning! I swear I feel like I'm going through tribulation myself! Damn it! Why does everything seem to converge at this moment when it's almost over? I have to get up early tomorrow to accompany the Foreman to the countryside—a one or two-hour journey. Hopefully, I can catch some sleep on the way... What a pain!
