Ma Jun: "Understood, understood. I will definitely do good deeds and follow your teachings after I leave!"
"groove!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Zhao immediately slapped Ma Jun across the face, sending him spinning around in the air more than ten times.
After landing, Shen Zhao grabbed him by the collar and said fiercely, "Kid, you dare to play dumb with me? You dare to take my stuff for free? When did we become so close? Pay up!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll give it to you!"
Ma Jun immediately took out his storage bag, took out twenty spirit stones from it, and handed them over.
"That's more like it. If you wanted to leave early, why did you have to endure this beating?"
Ding Bu'er happily prepared to accept the spirit stone.
But Shen Zhao stopped him the next moment: "Twenty spirit stones? Kid, do you think you're being funny?"
Ma Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "What you say is true, senior. Then please name your price."
"One thousand spirit stones!"
"What! A thousand spirit stones!"
Ma Jun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Senior, your medicine is indeed miraculous, but it shouldn't be this expensive!"
Ding Bu'er, who was standing to the side, whispered to Shen Zhao, "That's enough. Twenty spirit stones is not a small amount. It's more than twice what we expected."
"Get out of my way. No wonder you've been doing so poorly all these years. Learn something from me, Master Chen."
Shen Zhao shrugged and said to Ma Jun in a serious tone, "You say my medicine is expensive? How is it expensive? I only charge you ten spirit stones for one pill, how is that expensive?"
"But didn't you just say you wanted a thousand spirit stones?"
"That's your toll fee for leaving the Fuxi Abyss, understand?"
"What do you mean? Please enlighten me, senior."
"If you want to leave here, you must pass behind me, and the fee is nine hundred and ninety spirit stones. Is that expensive? I'm a respectable businessman; I don't do dirty work!"
"Can't I just buy the medicine?"
"That won't do. We're operating on a bundled basis. You can't get the pills without paying a toll, and you can't get through without buying the pills."
Ma Jun's face instantly turned liver-colored. In his more than 30 years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a shameless and unscrupulous merchant. He was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
If he had the strength, he really wanted to slap this old man, Biden, to death.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability.
"But senior, I don't have that many spirit stones on me."
“If you don’t have spirit stones, you can exchange them for other things. Since you’re my first customer, I’ll give you a discount. If you go back to the Fuxi Abyss and help me spread the word about the medicine’s effects, I can give you a 2% discount.”
"Okay, thank you, senior. Now, shall I?"
Go!
Upon hearing this, Ma Jun fled as if he were running away.
He thought to himself with a sense of smug satisfaction: "The old man is getting old and his mind isn't working well anymore. There's more than one exit. I'm going to the east. I don't believe you can stop me!"
Just after Ma Jun left, Yu Xiyan, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "He wanted to kill you, so why did you let him go?"
Shen Zhao replied without turning his head, "Why force people to their deaths when we're trying to make money and do business? We're after wealth, not lives."
“But he wants to kill you!” Yu Xiyan said, enunciating each word clearly, her eyes lingering on Shen Zhao for a moment, unwilling to look away.
Shen Zhao shrugged: "Didn't we fail to kill him? Why pursue it so relentlessly?"
Yu Xiyan remained silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, this isn't like you."
What did you say?
"nothing."
Realizing her slip of the tongue, Yu Xi immediately shut up and ended the conversation.
When she heard that Ma Jun was going to harm Shen Zhao, she suppressed the urge to take action and quietly observed Shen Zhao.
In his previous life, Shen Zhao was a military god who had almost conquered the entire Immortal Martial Continent. Ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness were his characteristics.
But now, this man is actually willing to leave someone a way out?
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it? Are Liu Chengzhou and Shen Zhao not the same person at all?"
