Chapter 40 Contract

Half price, then half price again, this was the essence of Gao Xian's bargaining at street stalls in his previous life.

If the other party disagrees, forget it. But if the other party agrees immediately, he will feel uncomfortable.

The owner of Yunyifang obviously had no such experience and was infuriated by Gao Xian's fierce bargaining skills.

Gao Xian laughed dryly: "If you ask for a high price, you should pay it back on the spot. We can discuss it. Why are you so anxious, fellow Taoist?"

The boss said gloomily: "Do you know what lotus root silk is? It is made by breaking the lotus root and pulling out strands of silk that are ten times thinner than a hair.

"Do you know how much work it takes to collect such fine silk? And how much work it takes to weave such fine silk into materials!"

The boss gnashed his teeth and looked like he was ready to pounce and bite someone at any time. Gao Xian felt a little guilty, so he whispered, "Then boss, give me a good price."

"That's eighty spirit stones."

The boss pointed to the door and said, "If you can't afford it, leave now. The door is over there."

Gao Xian has the soul of a middle-aged office worker inside his young body, and he never feels ashamed to bargain.

In his experience, being without money is the most painful thing.

He smiled apologetically, "Such expensive boots, few people in Pegasus can afford them. I am sincere in buying, and you are sincere in selling, so let's make some concessions."

The boss thought for a moment and said unhappily, "Seventy spirit stones, this is the reserve price, if you don't buy it, get out."

"Seventy Spiritual Stones."

Gao Xian still felt it was expensive, considering his normal salary was five spirit stones per month.

Even if he didn't eat or drink for a year, he still couldn't afford this pair of shoes. His income was already quite good in Pegasus.

Practitioners must purchase spiritual rice, life-saving talismans, and necessary elixirs. Just the basic expenses are enough to drain the spiritual stones of low-level practitioners.

It is no exaggeration to say that even Huang Ying had to think carefully before buying this pair of shoes.

Gao Xian had also become rich in the past two months, and had saved more than 130 spiritual stones. He was reluctant to spend most of it on a pair of shoes.

The boss didn't say anything. The business was not just his. If he could sell it, that would be great. If he couldn't, that was fine too.

Gao Xian thought about it again and again and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I want this shoe. But..."

Before Gao Xian could finish, the boss waved his hand firmly: "No bargaining!"

"I'm not trying to bargain, but such expensive shoes should be paired with something."

Gao Xian said, "I don't want much either. I just want a belt and two sets of Taoist robes, a middle layer and a bottom layer."

The boss said impatiently, "Okay."

The price of the Water and Fire Lotus Silk Boots is so expensive. They have been on display for more than half a year. I don’t know how many people have seen them, but no one can afford them.

The clothes and belt he wore were worth less than two spirit stones, so it was still a good deal.

Gao Xian took out seventy spirit stones from the interlayer inside the bowl. When the boss saw so many spirit stones, a look of joy appeared on his face.

As a businessman, his eyes lit up when he saw the spiritual stone, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

The boss helped Gao Xian adjust his boots. These boots are stretchable and can be adjusted to size using magic circles.

Gao Xian chose a palm-wide black python leather belt without any magic circle engraved inside, because the python skin still retained some spiritual power that could repel mosquitoes and had a certain defensive function.

He actually liked a blue robe very much, but it was too expensive and too eye-catching.

In a place like Pegasus, dressing too nicely could easily lead to accidents.

Carrying a bunch of things, Gao Xian returned home satisfied.

After putting on new clothes, new shoes and a new belt, Gao Xian took out the Fengyue Baojian and looked at himself. He felt much more handsome.

The wide and thick python leather belt is very suitable for hanging the 17-jin stone-cutting sword.

Gao Xian walked around the yard with his stone-cutting sword. He would strike any protruding object he saw with his sword, and even passing mosquitoes and flies would not be spared.

He moved faster and faster, circling the yard at full speed, occasionally drawing his sword and slashing.

Cold sword lights flashed across the small courtyard, crisscrossing the air, making sharp sounds of breaking through the air.

The figure running as fast as the wind suddenly stopped, leaving two deep footprints on the ground.

After a period of frantic running, he found that the new shoes were very sturdy and fit his feet well, providing Gao Xian with extremely stable support and wrapping.

There was a lot of mud on the boots, but after rinsing them with water, the shoes were as good as new and no water got on them.

Gao Xian tried the fire control technique again, and it was indeed fireproof. At least burning for a short period of time would not cause damage.

After wearing this pair of shoes, his speed can be increased by at least 20%, and he no longer has to worry about the shoes breaking if he exerts too much force.

The wind control technique in the Water and Fire Lotus Silk Boots is also very practical. Through Sister Lan, he can activate it instantly.

The wind control technique can make use of the power of the wind while minimizing wind resistance, allowing him to increase his speed by another 20%.

In other words, after wearing these shoes, his speed increased by nearly 40%, which is a huge improvement.

Taking Lao Wang as a measuring standard, even a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training would probably not be able to match his speed.

Although seventy spirit stones are very expensive, it is still worth it.

Gao Xian counted the money and found that he still had 67 spiritual stones left. Adding the spiritual stones Zhou Ye and Huang Ying owed him, he could still collect 200 spiritual stones.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

That’s a huge sum of money!

It’s a pity that Shopkeeper Zhu has some troubles, otherwise our life would be so wonderful!

Gao Xian bought shoes and a sword and never went out again. He practiced various skills every day, and when he was in a good mood, he would take time to make pills.

But he always had something on his mind, and he couldn't enjoy his food or sleep well.

A few days passed like this, and Gao Xian suddenly woke up one night.

In the dark room, Gao Xian got out of bed silently with his sword in hand. When he reached the door, he saw two burning One Yang Talismans stuck on it.

Even through the door, Gao Xian could feel the thick and cold atmosphere outside.

"Old Wang is here again!"

Gao Xian knew that Lao Wang was outside. Lao Wang's strength had obviously increased a lot, and the Yi Yang Fu could hardly stop him anymore.

Gao Xian pondered for a while, but ultimately did not open the door to look for Lao Wang.

The Yin energy ignited two more Yang talismans, and Lao Wang finally left.

The main reason was that there were more than ten One Yang Talismans on the door, making it difficult for Lao Wang to break in by force.

After waiting for a while, Gao Xian opened the door. Under the cold moonlight, wisps of black smoke were still coming out of the door.

Gao Xian said to himself: "Don't be impatient, take your time..."

Gao Xian was not surprised to find that Lao Wang came to his house again. He was even a little happy. This old man had been abused by him time and time again, but he still couldn't forget him.

The master-level True Yang Spear was too sensitive to the evil Yin Qi. As soon as Lao Wang approached, he felt a strong induction in his sleep. It was a bit difficult for Lao Wang to sneak attack him.

Back in the room, Gao Xian used the True Yang Spear to observe himself and found that the evil aura on his body was even stronger.

The short-term confrontation with Lao Wang obviously deepened the relationship between the two sides.

In order to prevent accidents, Gao Xian pasted some Yiyang talismans on the doors and windows.

From then on, Lao Wang came for a walk every night, but was blocked outside by layers of One Yang Talismans.

Another seven or eight days passed, and Zhu Qiniang found Gao Xian: "Old Zhu has already found out, and confirmed that it was you who refined the Deer Horn Powder and Tiangui Pill. This time, he asked me to take you back to settle the score."

"What did Shopkeeper Zhu say?" Gao Xian asked.

"Old Zhu is very happy. He has already regarded you as a cash cow and wants to sign a new 100-year death contract with you."

Zhu Qiniang shook her head slightly: "If you sign this contract, you will be my slave for the rest of your life."

Gao Xian said with a complicated expression: "Manager Zhu really doesn't leave me any chance to survive..."

Zhu Qiniang looked at Gao Xian expectantly: "What are you going to do?"
