Chapter 131 You Can’t Let Others Suffer Losses
Boss He asked Xiao He to call those people into the room and explained Cheng Jiuhe’s demands.
These people had only heard earlier that Boss He was turned away by the hospital, but now he was already getting better, so they started getting ideas. But after hearing what Jiu He said, demanding ten Ming Dynasty Items from each person, they felt a bit reluctant to part with them.
They had only been in proximity to the Ming Dynasty Items and felt a chill in their bodies, which was not too severe yet. To have to give up these things they had exchanged their lives for, how could they bear it?
Moreover, they looked at Mengyu with some suspicion: Was this little girl really the one who performed the ritual?
Mengyu interrupted, "If you keep these Ming Dynasty Items with you, sooner or later you’ll end up like Boss He was yesterday. If you just sell them off, whoever buys your items will be the one you’re harming. I suggest you dispel the influence of these Ming Dynasty Items together. Of course, not for free."
Everyone was silent.
They knew their own situation. Although Boss He’s condition had been severe, they also felt their bodies getting colder day by day and knew that Mengyu’s words were not a threat.
Moreover, they had also consulted a teacher who told them their situation was a form of retribution, and no one dared to help them.
Boss He spoke to them, "Ten items is not a lot. My brother and I used up seven items yesterday, and today we will also make up to ten items per person. I suggest you all get treated."
He felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
To Boss He, Miss Jiang was a lifesaver for him and his brother, a person he must respect. Moreover, from her actions yesterday, it was clear that Miss Jiang was no ordinary person.
For the sake of his brother, he had taken pains to invite Miss Jiang here, yet his associates did not show her the same respect, even though the compensation Miss Jiang’s brother asked for was already very fair, they still hesitated.
Two of Boss He’s brothers, one surnamed Li and the other Zhong, had both gone to the graveyard so they were more affected by the Evil Energy. They would definitely need Mengyu to drive out the Evil Energy.
Those a bit reluctant to spend money were family members who had come into contact with the Ming Dynasty Items: one was the wife of a digger surnamed Wang, who had died the very day she got home, as well as Old Zhong’s son, and Old Man Li’s wife. Their symptoms were mild, and they didn’t think spending so much was worthwhile.
Old Man Li said, "Can it be a little less?"
Mengyu was still thinking about how to get all the Ming Dynasty Items from their hands. Hearing Old Man Li’s request to reduce the amount made her somewhat troubled.
She shook her head, "The two of you have more Evil Energy in your bodies, so you must take the Yuan Nourishing Pill in combination with the expulsion to completely remove it. Therefore, ten items per person is really not much.
Just one Yuan Nourishing Pill costs one hundred thousand yuan. Ten Ming Dynasty Items might not even sell for one hundred thousand yuan!
Moreover, I’m not asking for anything particularly good, just what you’ve dug up this time will do. Of course, the bigger the better."
The bigger the item, the more Sun and Moon Essence it absorbs. Therefore, she preferred larger items.
However, these diggers found it odd, because the value of antiques isn’t determined by their size.
But when they heard the need to use the Yuan Nourishing Pill, they immediately fell silent.
People in the world of grave-digging knew a bit about the Qimen Jianghu, and they knew Yuan Nourishing Pills were treasures.
Those who dug graves often had bodies colder than normal, and their life expectancy could be shorter. If they could get their hands on Yuan Nourishing Pills, their condition could be improved.
However, Yuan Nourishing Pills were treasures found only within the Mountain Sect and weren’t easy to come by. At this moment, hearing that Mengyu would provide them with Yuan Nourishing Pills, they immediately agreed—
Although they felt that spending ten Ming Dynasty Items for family members who didn’t need to take the Yuan Nourishing Pill was not worth it, they were right in saying that ten Ming Dynasty Items might not even sell for one hundred thousand yuan. You can’t let others suffer losses, after all.
Of course, the most crucial point was that she wasn’t picky; she would take whatever they gave, and of course, the bigger, the better!
