The two left their lodgings and headed straight for Zhuoyangchuan Market.
They hadn't walked far before they were captivated by the bustling prosperity of Zhuoyangchuan.
The wide, white jade street is lined with buildings adorned with pearls and jade.
The monks walked busily along the street.
Song Chen glanced around and found that he couldn't see through the cultivation levels of many of them.
Such a peaceful scene is truly rare.
Zhao Ziyi sighed:
"Tsk tsk tsk, we've seen plenty of good things, but look at this Thousand Medicines Pavilion, the Beauty Willow, which costs 10 gold coins a stalk, is actually planted outside the pharmacy!"
Song Chen nodded and said:
“Look at that weapons shop over there. The cheapest weapon costs fifty or sixty gold coins, and it’s just hanging there on the display rack outside.”
"A truly powerful cultivator cares deeply for all living beings. Zhuoyangchuan is indeed a rare and blessed land of peace!"
The two looked around and sighed with admiration as they went.
I had to go into each shop and browse around.
Upon seeing a shop, Zhao Ziyi shook Song Chen's arm and exclaimed excitedly:
"Song Chen, shall we go buy some matching outfits?"
Matching outfits? Song Chen thought about the literal meaning for a moment, then smiled:
"Let's go in and take a look."
The two had been wearing their academy uniforms since entering the Fairy River Garden, and now that they were in the robe shop, everything looked new and exciting to them.
A dazzling array of colorful clothes hung on the display rack, their robes shimmering with a halo of light, suggesting considerable defensive capabilities.
Song Chen rubbed the fabric between his fingers and discovered that it was made of the finest golden silk.
He pondered for a moment. The golden silkworm silk was a second-grade material, which inherently possessed good defensive capabilities, making it impervious to swords and spears.
However, if you draw arrays on the fabric and inlay gemstones, the defensive power will be greatly improved.
"Song Chen, what do you think of this outfit I picked out? Shall we each wear one?"
Zhao Ziyi held up a black and white robe against himself and called Song Chen over to take a look.
Song Chen glanced at it; the embroidered patterns on the clothes were made of gold thread, making them look very luxurious.
He reached out and touched it; the golden threads were actually made of pure gold.
Song Chen thought to himself: These clothes are well-made and each has its own unique style. They are excellent materials for refining weapons. If the price is right, I can take them all. After refining them myself, these clothes will become defensive magic treasures, which can be sold for at least two hundred gold coins.
He looked up at the shop owner and asked, "How much are these clothes?"
The owner of the robe shop lay lazily in a rocking chair behind the counter, head down, eyes closed, and pursed his lips.
"Twenty taels of gold per piece, no credit allowed."
As soon as the two entered the store, the owner noticed that they were wearing the uniforms of Xianheyuan Academy.
The boss wouldn't bother with such trashy forces.
Because they simply can't afford it.
"Twenty gold coins for one piece?" Zhao Ziyi's mouth dropped open in surprise.
Twenty gold coins can buy a first-class spirit wine that increases spiritual energy and eliminates elixir poisoning.
What makes this garment worthy of being on par with Lingjiu?
Song Chen frowned; he also felt the clothes were too expensive.
Although he could afford it, it was a waste of money.
Song Chen looked at the boss and asked:
"Boss, can you give me a discount if I take a few more pieces of clothing?"
Before the boss could speak, Song Chen heard laughter coming from behind him.
"Hahaha, where did this poor wretch come from? Trying to haggle in Zhuoyangchuan? Do you think you're buying something from a street vendor? A lowly commoner is a lowly commoner!"
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi looked over.
A cultivator dressed in a bright green robe, with a golden snake chain around his waist, stood with his arms crossed and a cold smile on his face.
He had a red dot on his forehead, and his appearance was beautiful and charming; he was also a young man.
He was followed by a group of male cultivators who fawned over him, saying:
“People are different. That young man is ugly, so naturally he can only find a poor cultivator.”
"Lu Yao, which piece of clothing do you like? I'll buy it for you! We don't haggle."
Lu Yao raised his chin and sneered:
"Are these clothes worthy of me? Boss, bring out the garments woven from the third-grade gold silkworm silk in your shop."
The boss had already stood up from his rocking chair, his face beaming with a wide smile that made his teeth disappear.
"Alright, Young Master Lü, please wait a moment, this old servant will go and fetch the golden silk robe right away!"
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi exchanged a glance; surprisingly, there were some good things in this shop.
The boss really knows how to cater to different people.
Zhao Ziyi winked at Song Chen, letting him continue.
Song Chen smiled and nodded slightly.
Lu Yao said sarcastically in a cool tone:
"Wow, you're so ugly, but your man is quite handsome."
Zhao Ziyi is now immune to such comments. Song Chen said he's not ugly at all!
Zhao Ziyi walked up to Lü Yao and casually asked:
"Whose young master are you? Your mouth stinks so much, did you grow up eating manure?"
Before Lü Yao could speak, his bodyguards behind him became enraged.
"How dare you insult the Lü Dynasty!"
"How dare you, a lowly commoner, insult His Highness Lü Yao?"
Zhao Ziyi nodded to himself, realizing that they were from the Lü dynasty.
He asked jokingly:
"Then what are you lackeys? Why are you groveling before this stinking piece of dog shit? Are you trying to control Lü Yao and become the true masters of the Lü Dynasty?"
Lu Yao slammed his hand on the counter and shouted:
"Who are you calling stinking shit! You lowly commoner! Once we're out of Zhuoyangchuan, I'll kill you!"
Zhao Ziyi shrugged:
"I'm really scared, you piece of trash, if you have the guts, kill me right now."
"You! You!"
Lu Yao was so angry that he was panting heavily. He wanted to kill the ugly young man in front of him, but he was afraid of the restrictions of Zhuoyangchuan.
At that moment, the owner of the robe shop came out from the inner room.
He shouted:
"Young Master Lü, please calm down! The clothes are here, and I'll chase those two lowly commoners away right away!"
Song Chen looked up.
The third-grade gold-threaded silkworm silk is indeed extraordinary.
The fabric shimmered and shimmered with golden light.
It looks several times better than second-grade golden silk.
Song Chen felt that the fabric looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Then he remembered that Mu Feng's lover, Li Wantian, seemed to wear a robe made of the same material.
"Young Master Lü, look! A third-grade gold-embroidered silk robe, only 50 taels of gold per piece. It's all perfectly tailored!"
The shopkeeper placed the clothes next to Lü Yao for him to choose from.
Then he walked towards Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi.
"Gentlemen, you can't afford the robes in this shop, and you've angered my customers. You should get out of here, and go as far away as possible."
The boss still had to keep his business going, so he didn't say anything even more offensive.
But Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi stood firmly in place, showing no intention of moving.
Zhao Ziyi looked at the boss:
"Boss, you're biting people like a dog, I can't be bothered arguing with you. If I pick out a few more robes, can I get a discount?"
When it comes to making money, the most important thing is patience. Zhao Ziyi felt that this was a highly profitable business opportunity that he couldn't let go of.
Moreover, this is Zhuoyangchuan, where fighting is prohibited, but swearing is not!
When the boss heard Zhao Ziyi scold him and then ask for a discount, he became furious and spoke recklessly.
"Where did this lowly scoundrel come from, always thinking about discounts! If you can buy all the clothes in my shop, I'll give you a 30% discount!"
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi exchanged a surprised glance.
They can offer a 70% discount!
