Chapter 40 Contract
Fold it in half and then fold it in half again. This is the core of Gao Xian's last life of haggling at a street stall.
If the other party doesn't agree, forget it. If the other party agreed straight away, he would feel uncomfortable.
The owner of Yunyifang obviously had no such experience and was angered by Gao Xian's fierce bargaining skills.
Gao Xian laughed dryly: "I'll pay you back right away if you ask for a high price. We've discussed it. Fellow Taoist, what are you in a hurry for?"
The boss said with a sullen face: "Do you know what lotus root silk is? It means breaking the lotus root and pulling out strands that are ten times thinner than hair.
“Do you know how much work it takes to collect such fine silk? How much work it takes to weave such fine silk into materials!”
The boss was gritting his teeth and looked as if he was ready to pounce and bite anyone at any time. Gao Xian felt a little guilty and whispered: "Then boss, please give me a good price."
“That's eighty spiritual stones.”
The boss pointed to the door, "If you can't afford it, leave quickly. The door is over there."
Gao Xian's young body contains the soul of a middle-aged social animal. He never feels ashamed to bargain.
From his experience, having no money is the hardest thing.
He smiled apologetically: "Few people in Pegasus can afford such expensive boots. I buy them sincerely, and you sell them sincerely, so I'll give in."
The boss thought for a moment and said angrily: "Seventy spiritual stones, this is the lowest price. If you don't buy it, get out."
“Seventy spiritual stones.”
Gao Xian still thinks it's expensive, considering his normal salary is five spiritual stones per month.
I can't afford this pair of shoes even if I don't eat or drink and save money for a year. As far as his income is concerned, it is considered pretty good in Pegasus Ji.
Cultivators must buy spiritual rice, life-saving talismans, and necessary elixirs. Just basic expenses can drain the bottom cultivators of their spiritual stones.
It is no exaggeration to say that even Huang Ying had to think carefully before buying this pair of shoes.
Gao Xian has also become rich in the past two months and has accumulated more than 130 spiritual stones in his hand. He was really reluctant to go out and buy a pair of shoes at once.
The boss didn't say anything. The business was not his alone. If he could sell it, it would be great. If he couldn't, it would be fine.
Gao Xian thought about it again and gritted his teeth, "I want these shoes. But..."
Before Gao Xian could finish speaking, the boss waved his hand forcefully: "No bargaining!"
“I'm not trying to bargain, but for such expensive shoes, you have to put something on them.”
Gao Xian said: "I don't want much. I just want a quilt and two sets of Taoist robes."
The boss said impatiently: "Okay."
Shuihuo silk boots are so expensive. They have been around 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 belts he put on together are not even worth two spiritual stones, but in total they are still very profitable.
Gao Xian took out seventy spiritual stones from the inner layer of the cocoon. When the boss saw so many spiritual stones, his face showed a bit of joy.
As a businessman, my eyes light up when I see the spiritual stone, and I can't contain the joy in my heart.
The boss helped Gao Xian adjust his boots. These boots are stretchable and can be adjusted in size using a magic circle.
Gao Xian chose a palm-width black python leather belt without a magic circle engraved inside, because the python skin still retains some spiritual power, can repel mosquitoes, and has certain defensive functions.
He actually likes a blue robe. Firstly, it is too expensive, and secondly, it is too eye-catching.
In a place like Pegasus, dressing too well can easily lead to accidents.
With a bunch of things in hand, Gao Xian returned home contentedly.
Putting on new clothes, new shoes, and a new belt, Gao Xian took out the Feng Yue Baojian and took a photo, feeling much more handsome.
The thick python skin belt is very suitable for hanging a seventeen-pound stone-cutting sword.
Gao Xian walked around the yard with his stone-cutting sword. If he saw any protruding objects, he would go over and strike them with his sword. Mosquitoes and flies passing by were not spared.
He was getting faster and faster, circling the yard at full speed, drawing his sword and striking from time to time.
A ray of Dawson's cold sword swayed and crisscrossed in the small courtyard, making sharp sounds as it broke through the air.
The figure that was running as fast as the wind suddenly stopped, and there were two deep footprints on the ground. After running wildly for a while, the new shoes fit very well and gave Gao Xian extremely stable support and wrapping.
There was a lot of mud on the boots. Once washed with water, the shoes were as good as new and no water stained them.
Gao Xian tried the fire-bending technique again, and it turned out that it was also fire-resistant. At least burning it in a short period of time will not cause damage.
Putting on this pair of shoes, his speed can be increased by at least 20%, and he no longer has to worry about the shoes breaking as soon as he exerts force.
The wind control technique blessed in the water and fire lotus root silk boots is also very practical. Through Sister Lan, he can be inspired instantly.
Wind Control can use the power of the wind and at the same time minimize the resistance of the wind, allowing him to increase his speed by another 20%.
In other words, wearing these shoes, his speed increased by nearly 40%, which was a huge improvement.
Taking Lao Wang as a standard, even those who are in the middle stage of Qi training may not be able to match his speed.
Although Seventy Spiritual Stones are expensive, they are still worth the money.
Gao Xian did the math and found that there were still sixty-seven spiritual stones left in his hand. Including the spiritual stones owed to him by Zhou Ye and Huang Ying, he could still collect 200 spiritual stones now.
This is a big sum of money!
It's a pity that shopkeeper Zhu is in some trouble, otherwise what a wonderful life it would be!
Gao Xian bought shoes and a sword and practiced various exercises every day without going out. When he was in a good mood, he took time to refine elixirs.
It's just that something is always on his mind, his food doesn't taste good, and he doesn't sleep well.
After a few days, Gao Xian suddenly woke up one night.
In the dark room, Gao Xian silently got out of bed with his sword in hand. When he came to the door, he saw two burning yang talismans attached to it.
Through the door of the room, Gao Xian could feel the strong 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 Yiyang Talisman could no longer stop him.
Gao Xian thought for a while, but finally did not open the door to find Lao Wang.
The yin energy ignited two more yang talismans, and Lao Wang finally left.
The main reason is that there are more than ten Yiyang talismans on the door, making it difficult for Lao Wang to break through.
After waiting for a while, Gao Xian opened the door. Under the cold moonlight, wisps of black smoke were still rising from the door.
Gao Xian said to himself: "Don't be anxious, take your time..."
Gao Xian was not surprised to find that Lao Wang came to his door again. He was even a little happy. This old man had been tortured by him again and again, but he still missed him.
The master-level True Yang Spear is too sensitive to the evil Yin Qi. As soon as Lao Wang came closer, he felt a strong reaction in his sleep. It was a bit difficult for Lao Wang to sneak attack on him.
Back in the room, Gao Xian looked at himself with the True Yang Spear and found that the evil aura on his body was even stronger.
The short-term confrontation with Lao Wang has obviously deepened the relationship between the two parties.
To prevent accidents, Gao Xian posted some Yiyang symbols on the doors and windows.
Since then, Lao Wang has been visiting every night, but he has been blocked out by layers of Yiyang Talisman.
Another seven or eight days later, Zhu Qiniang found Gao Xian: "Lao Zhu has found out and confirmed that it is Lujiao San and Tiangui Dan that you refined. This time he asked me to take you back to settle accounts."
“What did Shopkeeper Zhu say?” Gao Xian asked.
"Lao Zhu is very happy. He has regarded you as a cash cow and wants to sign a new one-hundred-year death contract with you."
Zhu Qiniang shook her head slightly: "This contract is about to be signed, and you can only work as a cow or horse for Lao Zhu for the rest of your life."
Gao Xian said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Shopkeeper Zhu really doesn't leave a way for me to survive..."
Zhu Qiniang looked at Gao Xian expectantly: "What are you going to do?"
