Chapter 163 Negotiations in the Inner Room

The disciple from Lingshou Mountain who was held back by Mo Juren was a sinister young man with a pair of slender phoenix eyes.

After hearing Mo Juren's question, he did not answer. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked Mo Juren up and down, and then said with disdain,
"I don't understand you casual cultivators, are you here to buy things or to get information? Our store has clearly marked prices, check for yourself, and come back to me when you're done."

Mo Juren paused when he heard this, and became furious. He didn't expect that even the clerk in this shop in Lingshou Mountain would be so arrogant.

So he bowed again and left indifferently.

After that, Mo Juren walked around the store and looked around.

But after walking around, I didn't see any bird or monster.

In the end, I only saw some spirit beast bags for sale near the counter. It was marked on them that a small bag was ten spirit stones and a medium bag was thirty spirit stones. It was indeed clearly marked with prices.

Thinking of the Cloud-Winged Bird, it is a bit unfair to it that it is still staying with the Golden Rat and the poisonous insect. If its size really grows bigger in the future, the previous spirit beast bag will not be able to hold it at all.

So Mo Juren took a mid-grade spirit beast bag, went to the counter and directly took out thirty spirit stones, paid the bill and left.

These disciples of Lingshou Mountain did not have high cultivation levels, but they relied on the fact that they were in their own market town to act so arrogantly, which gave him a very bad impression.

So the second time Mo Juren no longer looked for shops opened by big sects. After walking around, he found a "Wanbao Tower". This name is similar to the Baibao Tower in Tainanfang City.

After the previous lesson, Mo Juren once again felt the truth that "good people are often bullied", so he played a little trick.

He displayed the aura of a gang leader that he had when he was the head of the Jingjiao Society, and walked slowly into the store with his hands behind his back.

It was not known whether Mo Juren's strategy was effective or the quality of the waiters at Wanbaolou was higher, but as soon as Mo Juren entered the door, he was warmly greeted by two waiters.

"Sir, welcome to our Wanbaolou. What kind of items do you need? Can we recommend one or two?"

Mo Juren nodded at him but said nothing. He walked straight into the shop and started to look around.

The items sold in Wanbao Tower are very complete and varied, including elixirs, talismans, magical instruments, and techniques. The variety of items displayed is so dazzling that it is overwhelming.

Mo Juren looked around like this, and the guy behind him followed him two steps behind, but did not disturb him.

Mo Juren was quite satisfied. After returning to the entrance, he smiled and asked the waiter,

"Do you have a manager here? Or a shopkeeper? I have a pretty big business deal and I want to talk to your manager."

Mo Juren's tone contained a hint of arrogance and unquestionable firmness, which made the guy take it seriously. After thinking for a while, he replied,

"Then please follow me into the inner room and wait a moment. I will ask the shopkeeper to come out and greet you personally. How do you think?"

Mo Juren snorted softly.
"Then lead the way!"

The so-called inner room is actually a large room, but it only has two chairs and a table, and the furnishings are relatively simple.

Moreover, this inner room had no windows on any side and was quite closed, so there was no risk of people outside hearing the conversation.

After Mo Juren entered, he sat directly on the chair. A maid brought him tea and served him carefully.

After a while, the waiter brought in an old man with a long beard and wearing a shopkeeper's robe and introduced him to Mo Juren.
"This is our shopkeeper Zhong. If you have any big business, please come and discuss with him directly." Mo Juren just nodded lightly, and then the waiter left.

Shopkeeper Zhong quickly looked at Mo Juren and saw that he didn't say anything, so he had to ask himself,
"I wonder what business this guest wants to discuss in private? Do you want to buy from my Wanbaolou? Or sell?"

Mo Juren then stood up calmly, walked to the table, took out a spiritual herb from his storage bag, put it on the table, and then said to the shopkeeper,

"I have a magical herb here, shopkeeper, please take a closer look."

Shopkeeper Zhong looked a little hesitant, but he finally walked to the front of the table.

He picked up the spiritual herb and looked at it carefully for a few times, then put it down again and said in a neutral tone,

"If I'm not mistaken, this 'Four-Leaf Blood Ginseng' is a rare mutant species, but it's only about a hundred years old. It can't be considered to have any special value, right?"

After saying this, he sat down on another stool and lowered his head to sip the tea brought by the maid.

Mo Juren didn't care. He came to the table again, and threw down four more spiritual herbs. Then he glanced at the shopkeeper and chuckled.
"Shopkeeper Zhong, take another look. What if this is the case?"

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhong quickly put down his teacup, walked over to the table, and examined it carefully again.

After a while, his face turned happy and he said,
"Three four-leaf blood ginsengs and two seven-turn ganoderma lucidums, all of which are at the level of hundred-year-old precious medicines. This is pretty good. I wonder if you want to consign them or buy them directly from our store?"

This time it was Mo Juren's turn to be calm. He said calmly,
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Zhong. I want to know if you can afford the price of such precious medicine if the quantity is large?"

Shopkeeper Zhong laughed and said,
"A large amount? I'm sorry, sir, these five precious herbs are not a large amount... Uh, do you have more on you?"

Mo Juren nodded and extended a hand to Shopkeeper Zhong.

Shopkeeper Zhong asked

"Sir, do you mean there are still five plants? If there are ten rare herbs, then I can indeed offer a good purchase price..."

Mo Juren grinned and said,

"No, I mean—five a month!"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper He couldn't help but hiss and take a deep breath. Then he hurried to the door to check carefully to make sure it was locked and there was no sound leaking out. Finally, he came over and whispered,

"Sir, do you mean five plants per month and sixty plants per year?"

Mo Juren continued to take out five more precious herbs from his storage bag, as if to show them off on purpose, and said indifferently,

"Yes, these ten plants are just appetizers. I want to see if your store is willing to cooperate with you for a long time."

Seeing this, Shopkeeper He paced back and forth and thought for a while before making up his mind.
"In that case, I will make the decision. I will give you 200 spirit stones for each precious herb at the highest purchase price. How do you think?"

Mo Juren thought of the iron yellow ginseng he had sold in Maoxiang Valley, which was sold at a 60% discount for 180 pieces. These 200 pieces were not bad, so he tried harder and said,

"Why, your store is so big, but you can't even afford a 30% discount on the purchase price?"
