Chapter 56 Dongbin's Secret
"Not for sale to the general public" and "exclusively collected" were sales tactics that could not fool even old men and women in Gao Xian's era.
The boss's wretched appearance made Gao Xian even more difficult to trust him.
"Can I take a look first?" Gao Xian said.
The boss took out a yellowed book from his pocket and handed it to Gao Xian. "This volume of 'Dongbin Secrets' is a fine product from the Hehuan Sect. As long as you can learn one or two spells, it will be enough for you to be able to travel freely among the flowers..."
Gao Xian took the scroll and roughly flipped through it. It did record several methods of using yellow and red.
The so-called Huangchi method is the way of practicing Yin and Yang. However, for low-level practitioners, it is impossible to experience the profoundness of practicing Yin and Yang.
The yellow and red method gradually became a low-level means of flirting and enhancing sexual desire.
Gao Xian has the Fengyue Baojian and the spiritual light of human beings. He thinks the Huangchi technique should be useful to him.
At least you can add some to it and see if you can come up with something different.
"How to sell it?" Gao Xian asked.
He was not sure whether the spell would work, and he thought there was no need to fake such a low-level yellow and red spell.
"This is a secret technique passed down from the Hehuan Sect. Ten spirit stones cannot be less."
Before the boss could finish his words, Gao Xian had already stuffed the volume of "Dongbin Secrets" back to him.
Seeing Gao Xian turning around and about to leave, the boss hurriedly stopped him and said, "Daoyou, why are you in such a hurry? I'll give you a discount. How about eight spirit stones?"
"Two spiritual stones."
Gao Xian bargained, "Add the two spiritual stones for the local magnetic wheel."
The boss was getting a little anxious: "How is this possible? Eight spirit stones cannot be any less."
"Two spiritual stones."
…
After a few rounds of bidding, Gao Xian finally agreed to two spirit stones. The boss looked helpless and said, "Okay, I haven't opened the shop yet. Since we are getting along well, I will give it to you for four spirit stones."
He added at the end: "Forget it, it can't go any lower."
"Okay." Gao Xian also felt that the price was acceptable.
The boss handed the secret manual to Gao Xian with a distressed look on his face, "This deal is a loss-making business, but it's because we get along so well."
Gao Xian was disdainful. This kind of handwritten secret manual has no cost. If it can be sold for four spirit stones, the boss will be happy.
Finally, Gao Xian asked the boss to give him two more novels. He just wanted to take them back to criticize them, with no other intention.
Gao Xian was in a very good mood because he successfully bargained this time.
If you want to do business like the boss of Jinshutang, you should do it like this. If everyone is like the boss of Yunyifang, it would be so infuriating.
Gao Xian came out of Jinshutang with satisfaction. He took a detour to take a look at his new home. Several people were busy in the yard, so he didn't go in.
There are hundreds of skills in cultivation. Some cultivators from the lower classes learn skills such as building houses, farming, cooking, etc.
These seemingly ordinary skills also have their own unique techniques. Ordinary practitioners who have not practiced them specially will find it difficult to master the techniques.
Gao Xian didn't understand this either, and he wouldn't understand it even if he went in to take a look, so he decided not to cause trouble.
Thinking that I will be able to move into the new house in a few days, there is no need to spend so much money to buy the Qingyun robe.
It’s just a little cold, Gao Xian feels that he can still hold on.
When Gao Xian came back, he passed by Chang Street. It was the warmest time of the day and the wind had stopped.
The stall owners on the roadside became active, shouting and greeting people enthusiastically.
Gao Xian had no interest in these small vendors. There couldn't be any good stuff here. The small vendors were poor and greedy, and doing business with them was too much trouble.
However, a fat and big-eared vendor made Gao Xian change his mind.
The main thing is that the other party is holding a bronze lotus-shaped hair crown, which has a simple and elegant shape and an indescribable charm.
It was difficult for Gao Xian to describe this feeling, but he had great trust in the Great Ou Divine Method and believed in his own intuition.
He asked casually: "Daoyou, how much are you selling your things?"
The fat vendor smiled and said, "You have good eyes, fellow Taoist. This blue lotus hair crown can protect the mind and spirit, drive away evil and avoid filth. It is a treasure for cultivators like me to protect our bodies and cultivate the Tao..."
Gao Xian curled his lips. It was just a low-level magic weapon, but the fat man could make it look like a flower.
If he hadn't seen that the Green Lotus Crown was special, he wouldn't have listened to the fat man's nonsense.
Gao Xian pretended to be impatient and asked, "How many spiritual stones do I want?"
The fat man raised his chubby hand: "Take the fifty spirit stones."
"OK."
Gao Xian did not bargain this time. He was mainly afraid that the fat man would play tricks, so he directly took out fifty spirit stones from the inner layer of the Tihe.
The fat man was surprised. This guy never bargained? He was a little bit unlucky.
Watching Gao Xian leave in a hurry, the fat man couldn't help shaking his head. This guy is really interesting! When it was getting dark, the fat man packed up his stall and returned to a shabby yard outside the Pegasus Market.
Several people were drinking and eating meat in the room. The leading female cultivator had very beautiful eyes and eyebrows. She wore a green robe and had a long sword at her waist.
He was a little tipsy now, his cheeks were rosy and there seemed to be ripples in his eyes.
The fat man didn't dare to look at her for too long. Yao Qingshuang was very skilled and ruthless, and he was not someone he could touch.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
He came close to Yao Qingshuang and said, "Fourth Master, a young man bought the Green Lotus Crown without bargaining."
The fat man hurriedly added: "I think he is only in the early stage of Qi training."
Yao Qingshuang smiled contemptuously: "He's so rich, that's great, we'll go find him to make a small fortune tonight."
The two cultivators who were eating and drinking around the table were excited, "Kill him!"
"I wonder how much benefit a young man in the early stage of Qi training can get!"
Yao Qingshuang said to the fat man, "You should eat something too. We will start at midnight."
The fat man was a little worried: "Is it too early?"
"It's so cold, no one will go out at night. The patrol team is unlikely to come out either. What are you afraid of!"
Yao Qingshuang's eyes narrowed, revealing a murderous aura.
The fat man was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't dare to say anything and could only nod repeatedly.
The fat man ate a table full of leftovers.
There is a huge bronze bell in the center of Feimaji Long Street. It rings once every hour, giving many cultivators an approximate time reference.
The place where Yao Qingshuang and her friends lived was far away from the long street, so Yao Qingshuang had sharp hearing and could catch the sound of the clock.
"It's time to go."
Yao Qingshuang called a few people, put on her cloak and went out first. The others hurriedly followed.
The heavy snow had just stopped, and everything was white. Under the moonlight, the night was bright and clear.
Fortunately, the wind was howling and there was no one on the road.
Yao Qingshuang was holding a bronze hairpin in her hand. This hairpin and the Green Lotus Crown were a set and there was a subtle connection between them.
She asked Fatty to sell the Green Lotus Crown because she wanted to choose a wealthy cultivator as her target.
Even if the opponent is in the late stage of Qi training, she is not afraid. She can always get rid of the opponent with her mind and effort.
Of course, it wouldn't be that troublesome for a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training. Just rush in and kill him.
With the guidance of the bronze hairpin, Yao Qingshuang quickly found Gao Xian's home.
Yao Qingshuang found that the courtyard was shabby and located in a relatively remote area. She looked at the fat man and said, "This guy doesn't look like he has money, does he?"
It was a freezing cold day, and the fat man was already sweating profusely. He hurriedly explained, "He was very happy to take out the spiritual stones. I would never dare to lie to the Fourth Master."
Yao Qingshuang snorted, and said to her two subordinates, "Now that we are here, when you start, be careful and don't fall."
The two fierce men looked confident, "Don't worry, Fourth Master!"
"Leave it to us two brothers..."
