Chapter 138 Purchasing Pills, Formation Master
Seeing Qin Xiao actually agree so readily, Ling Ruoxue felt a bit regretful. She had quoted too low a price. Why did she have to give a discount?
"Haha, truly worthy of being Young Master Qin, so generous in your actions. Rest assured, I will report this afterward. When the time comes, you can hand over the Spirit Stones before departing for the secret realm."
Although she felt like she lost twenty million, although she still earned at least tens of millions, Ling Ruoxue also began addressing him as Young Master Qin.
"Alright, cut the act."
Every time Ling Ruoxue started being polite, she was definitely going to set a trap. Qin Xiao directly refused.
"By the way, do you have any life-saving pills? You know my current situation is not safe at all. I need to keep some pills on hand at all times. In case I get injured, I won't have to tough it out."
Qin Xiao knew Ling Ruoxue definitely felt she lost out by giving a discount and wanted to cheat him out of Spirit Stones from elsewhere, so Qin Xiao simply took the initiative himself. I'll buy them, okay?
"Yes, absolutely. This time I brought many good things, guaranteed to satisfy you."
After speaking, Ling Ruoxue took out many bottles and jars from her Storage Bag.
"This is the Immortal Spirit Pill, a life-saving spirit pill. You saw it during the first auction. You know it was auctioned for five hundred thousand per pill back then. This bottle contains ten pills, five million. This is the newly arrived Spirit-Burst Pill, also from the last auction. One bottle of ten pills, thirty million. See, I'm not taking advantage of you. Whatever the auction price was, I'm selling it to you for the same. There are other pills too. I'll calculate them all together as one hundred million for you. Absolutely worth more than the price."
Ling Ruoxue had long prepared for this, waiting for Qin Xiao to ask. She directly gave Qin Xiao all the highest prices.
Hearing Ling Ruoxue's quotes, Qin Xiao somewhat regretted his previous actions. For that Immortal Spirit Pill, back then he had raised the price from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand just to cheat the Li Family Ancestor. Now Ling Ruoxue was selling it to him for five hundred thousand per pill again.
As for this Spirit-Burst Pill, he had also raised the price to thirty million just to cheat the Luo sisters. Now Ling Ruoxue was selling it to him for thirty million too. This was retribution.
"Young Miss, did you bring all these things specifically targeting me?"
Qin Xiao said somewhat speechlessly.
"What kind of talk is that? Others have to be able to afford to buy these things too. Last time we earned Spirit Stones together. Don't tell me you don't have that many Spirit Stones."
Qin Xiao guessed correctly. Ling Ruoxue brought these things specifically targeting Qin Xiao. After all, last time Qin Xiao earned six hundred fifty million for nothing, and she didn't even take commission from him. What's wrong with selling you some things? Didn't you also get things?
"Fine, deal."
Qin Xiao couldn't be bothered to haggle over every little detail. Last time she covered two hundred million for him.
Zhang Zuo and Li You were both dumbfounded at this moment. Is business negotiated like this? A few sentences, and one hundred eighty million was gone?
These were Spirit Stones, not copper coins from the mortal world. Even if they were copper coins, that would be a huge pile, right?
With just a few sentences like that, it was worth a year and a half of salary for the two brothers. And that was only because Qin Xiao gave such high wages. If it were their previous monthly stipends, it would take several years.
"Young Miss is truly amazing. Who would have thought you could complete a one hundred eighty million transaction in such a short time."
Li Rende was also very impressed. No wonder Qin Xiao could become a distinguished member. There was definitely a reason.
"Wait a moment, Manager Li. The eighty million from selling the spots belongs to the Association. But this one hundred million worth of pills were bought with my own Spirit Stones. This transaction is my own, it doesn't belong to the Association."
Ling Ruoxue quickly interjected.
The Spirit Stones earned from betting last time were all handed over, which made her very unhappy. They only gave her fifty million as her share, so this time she had to earn some Spirit Stones for herself.
The Immortal Dao Merchant Association wasn't solely her Ling Family's. After handing it over, everyone gets dividends. What she earns herself is truly her own.
Li Rende didn't expect this to be the case, but he reacted quickly and promptly replied.
"Ah, what a pity, Young Miss Ling. If only you had a Heavenly Spirit Root, then I could take you as my disciple. Unfortunately, you only have an Earthly Spirit Root."
Qin Xiao felt Ling Ruoxue was quite an interesting person. It's just a shame he couldn't take her as a disciple.
"That's not necessarily true. My Ling Family has a special constitution. We can awaken our spirit roots twice in a lifetime. But I don't like cultivation, I like doing business, so I didn't undergo the second awakening. If I had awakened, a mere Heavenly Spirit Root would be something I could grasp with ease."
Hearing Qin Xiao say she only had an Earthly Spirit Root, she felt somewhat indignant too. I just don't like it, that doesn't mean I don't have it.
"Disciple, is there really such a thing?"
Qin Xiao asked somewhat puzzled.
"Indeed there is. But everyone's thoughts are different. Sister Xue doesn't like cultivation, so naturally she doesn't care about spirit roots. Not everyone cares about spirit roots or becoming immortal. I support Sister Xue doing what she likes."
This time, Yun Man unusually didn't follow Qin Xiao's meaning and instead supported Ling Ruoxue.
"Oh, that makes sense too. Indeed, everyone's ideals are different. Not everyone must pursue cultivation."
This was the first time Qin Xiao had heard in this world that someone wasn't passionate about cultivation. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"But, Young Miss Ling, if one day you change your mind and undergo the second awakening, you must definitely come to take me as your master. I really need a disciple like you."
However, Qin Xiao still didn't want to give up, so he made an agreement.
"Take you as my master? What are you thinking? If I really changed my mind, with my talent after awakening, plus my Ling Family background, what master couldn't I find? I could even find Tribulation Transcendence great powers. And I would take you as my master? What can you give me?"
Ling Ruoxue looked at Qin Xiao speechlessly. You kid think quite highly of yourself, wanting me to take you as my master?
Those little resources might trick the Luo sisters and Cang Chen, but who am I? What haven't I seen? Can your little resources tempt me?
"I don't care. If you change your mind and want to cultivate in the future, I'll have Yun Man go tie you up and bring you here anyway. You can't beat my disciple anyway."
Qin Xiao naturally couldn't reveal his resources, so he simply acted shamelessly.
"Disciple, tell me, is taking me as your master better than taking some Tribulation Transcendence great power as your master?"
Qin Xiao asked Yun Man again.
"Well, probably. After all, I've never taken a Tribulation Transcendence great power as my master. But if Sister Xue really changes her mind, I also recommend you could take my master as your master."
Yun Man was directly asked into confusion. How would she know if Tribulation Transcendence great powers are good? Back then the Yun Family had a Tribulation Transcendence ancestor, but he was always in secluded cultivation. She never even saw him, so naturally she didn't know what it's like to be a Tribulation Transcendence great power's disciple.
"Man'er, did this kid place a restriction on you too? When Master arrives, I'll have him check you first. Although Qin Xiao is somewhat handsome and has some resources, he can't compare to Tribulation Transcendence great powers. Yet you recommend I take him as my master. It seems you've likely been placed under a restriction too, that's why you're speaking insincerely like this."
Ling Ruoxue was speechless. Qin Xiao thinking wishfully is one thing, but why do you think so too?
"Who do you want me to check first?"
Just as everyone was chattering nonsense, an old man arrived outside the door.
"Master Ji Ci, you've arrived."
Seeing the newcomer, Ling Ruoxue quickly stood up to greet him.
This person was precisely the expert Ling Ruoxue had sought, Master Ji Ci, also one of the Formation Masters of the Immortal Dao Merchant Association. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of Body Integration. But compared to his cultivation, his formations were even more formidable.
"Young Miss is too polite. When you seek this old man, how could this old man not come?"
Ji Ci said with a smile.
