Ah Er spread his five fingers. He recalled the mannerisms of the merchants in the marketplace and said slowly,
"About... thirteen pounds, maybe more..."
"What!?"
"This..."
Niu froze. His face flushed red, then paled. His throat felt dry.
As Loose Cultivators, when had they ever seen such a large quantity being measured out so boldly?
Ah Er mimicked Bai Mo's posture and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Niu met Ah Er's gaze, terrified of displeasing this moneybags, and said through gritted teeth,
"A quantity like that... I can't take it all!"
He quickly explained.
"It's not just me. No one in this town can handle a batch this large on their own."
"Sir, if you want to sell treasures like these, you'll need a lot of us working together."
The other Cultivators nodded in agreement.
"That's right, that's right..."
Niu glanced at the others and snorted, then gestured to the side.
"Sir, please come with me. This isn't the place to talk."
