Chapter Seventy-Eight: Bargaining
Qingchun Inn is still as quiet as ever, even the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper are sitting on the table and chair, supporting their heads with their hands and pretending to sleep.
Lin Yuxing's footsteps woke up the shopkeeper, and when he found that someone was coming, he hurriedly patted the shopkeeper next to him.
"Childe is back. The shopkeeper was sleepy-eyed, but he still ran to Lin Yuxing very quickly and said.
"Hmm!" Lin Yuxing frowned in response, and was about to go upstairs, but after walking a few steps, he stopped, turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Which person who chartered your inn is surnamed Zhong?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the shopkeeper and nodded and replied after getting his approval.
"Yes!"
Lin Yuxing saw this series of actions in his eyes, but after frowning slightly, nothing happened.
"Did he go out today?"
Zhong Lao hasn't been out since he moved in. The shopkeeper on the side hurriedly replied.
After speaking, he motioned to the shopkeeper to leave with his eyes, and came over to accompany him, Lin Yuxing didn't care, and continued to ask:
"What room is he sitting in? I have something to look for him. ”
"This ...... Zhong Lao usually doesn't see customers very often, if the son really has something urgent, I will ask, if Zhong Lao agrees, the son will not be too late to go up again, if he doesn't agree, it will save the son to run in vain. ”
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing Lin Yuxing's face a little unhappy, he had to choose this compromise method.
However, this shopkeeper is very good at being a person, so that both parties will not be offended.
"That's right, then there's Shopkeeper Lao. Lin Yuxing glanced at the shopkeeper after hearing this, and then arched his hand.
Just then, an old voice sounded from upstairs.
"No need, since this little friend has something to look for, just come to the old man's room. ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Lin Yuxing in surprise, but he didn't ask much, but told Lin Yuxing a room number, and then sat down at the table and chair again and pretended to sleep.
After turning left and right, Lin Yuxing came to Zhong Lao's door, and happened to see a black-robed man standing motionless in the corridor.
Lin Yuxing was stunned for a moment, but then stepped forward and shouted: "Old Zhong." ”
But the black-robed man didn't react at all, and just as Lin Yuxing felt strange, Zhong Xue's voice came out of a room.
"Since Xiaoyou is here, let's come in directly. ”
At this time, Lin Yuxing knew that the black-robed man standing in the corridor was just a subordinate of Zhong Xue.
It's just that his dress is exactly the same as Zhong Xue's, he is dressed in a black robe, and even his face is tightly covered, if he doesn't make a sound, Lin Yuxing really can't find it.
After pondering for a while, Lin Yuxing pushed the door in.
The room was very gray, this was Lin Yuxing's first feeling, even the window was sealed tightly, and a black cloth was hung to block the light.
Faintly, a figure could be seen sitting on a chair, staring at Lin Yuxing.
This kind of room arrangement really made people feel panicked, as if sensing Lin Yuxing's discomfort, Zhong Xue took out two or three fist-sized luminous crystals and put them on the lamp trough.
Looking at the room that had become normal, Zhong Xue was still dressed in a black robe and had not changed, Lin Yuxing was puzzled:
"Zhong Lao has been in this dark room for so long, can't he really go out for a walk?"
"There's no way around it, it's safer indoors. Zhong Xue didn't have anything to hide, so he replied directly.
Then he asked Lin Yuxing: "Have you already thought about coming this time?"
"Consider, hehe, don't Zhong Lao know at all?" Lin Yuxing said with a smile.
"Oh, what should the old man know?
Seeing Zhong Xue's appearance, he could also hear from his tone that he was indeed not pretending, and the shopkeeper downstairs also said that he had never gone out, so Lin Yuxing's doubts in his heart were a little less.
However, he was not sure if this Zhong Xue would also arrange for someone to help him continue some kind of black-box operation outside, and after this lesson, Lin Yuxing became more and more cautious.
"Hmph! Zhong Lao really doesn't know if it's true or fake, now outside the sea and sky are spreading among the colorful clouds, and the Hyacinth Pavilion is still sending a message on the wind and rain list, convening the Haitian Trial, and anyone who is in a state of mind can enter this space site if he hands over 10,000 blood spirit stones. You didn't know any of that beforehand?"
"What? ”
When Zhong Xue heard this, he stood up from his seat with a pout, which startled Lin Yuxing.
"Looks like you really don't know. Lin Yuxing muttered to himself.
"If the old man knows, how can he still sit here so at ease, this is about the old man's nature...... It's about whether the old man can show his true face in the future. ”
Zhong Xue was halfway through speaking, only to realize that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly covered up.
But Lin Yuxing still understood something, his eyes flashed, and then he was fleeting, and then he fell silent as if nothing happened.
At this time, Zhong Xue could be said to be in a hurry, constantly wandering around the house.
After pondering for a while, he looked at Lin Yuxing and said, "Xiaoyou came to the old man this time, is it just to tell the old man these news?"
"Otherwise?" Lin Yuxing said lightly.
Seeing Lin Yuxing's appearance, Zhong Xue suddenly calmed down and returned to the original chair to continue to sit down.
Lin Yuxing frowned slightly and said, "Old Zhong doesn't think I'll help you collect medicine." ”
"Why not?" said Zhong Xue.
"Hmph, I was a little hesitant before anyone knew about it, but now it's all over the city, why is Elder Zhong so sure?" Lin Yuxing said with a displeased face.
"Haha! Since Xiaoyou came to the old man to tell him as soon as he found out the news, instead of directly waiting until three days later to refuse, it seems that there is still room for maneuver in this matter, isn't it?" Zhong Xue chuckled, revealing a look of understanding.
"He is worthy of Zhong Lao, and his eyes are like torches. ”
Seeing that his plan was so easily recognized by Zhong Xue, Lin Yuxing didn't intend to beat around the bush, so he directly admitted it.
"Then Xiaoyou said what to do, how can Xiaoyou agree to run this trip for the old man?"
"It's simple, now you still want me to go to collect medicine, you have to add money. ”
Lin Yuxing simply showed a look of a little wealth fan, stared at Zhong Xue and said.
Zhong Xue was a little stunned when he heard this, but he still shook his head and refused: "The remuneration of a transformation pill in this matter is already a big one, and if you add it, wouldn't the old man lose money?"
"Zhong Lao, you must know that the more people enter this sea and sky and colorful clouds, the higher the degree of danger, boy, I am taking my life to collect medicine for you, are you reluctant to even pay for your hard work?"
Lin Yuxing knew the value of this Transformation Pill, but for Xiao Ming, this Transformation Pill was not worth mentioning, and the reason why he still had to fight for it like this was not because he was too poor and wanted to blackmail him.
"Okay, then the little friend will say a number, and the old man will see if he can accept it. Zhong Xue gritted his teeth and said.
"In addition to the Transformation Pill, add another 100,000 Blood Spirit Stones. Lin Yuxing thought about it and reported a number.
But Zhong Xue was a little displeased with this number, brushed his sleeves and turned around and said: "Boy, you are sitting on the ground and raising the price, so the lion opens his mouth, I can make an exception for one person with 100,000 blood spirit stones, and I don't have a transformation pill." ”
"This ...... Otherwise, 50,000, including 10,000 for the registration fee, is also included. Lin Yuxing gritted his teeth, raised one hand, opened his palm and reported another number.
"Hmph, up to 20,000 yuan, and including the registration fee. Zhong Xue snorted lightly and gave a price that he could afford in his heart.
"What! It means that this trip is only worth 10,000 blood spirit stones. ”
"There's also a Transfiguration Pill. Zhong Xue deliberately emphasized.
"I'm not going to do this!" Lin Yuxing also waved his hand and refused directly.
"Little friend, don't forget, in this sea and sky and colorful clouds, the treasures you get belong to you alone, and the old man only needs the blood cloud fruit. Aren't these enough to make up for it?" Zhong Lao had to dissuade.
"Don't forget, Zhong Lao, you asked me to come back after collecting the medicine, don't stay in it for a long time, how can I have time to look for it?" Lin Yuxing retorted.
"Otherwise, 30,000, no more, this extra 10,000 is to make up for the loss suffered by Xiaoyou directly after collecting the medicine, what do you think?" Zhong Lao felt that what Lin Yuxing said was also reasonable, so he had to increase the price.
The reason why this is done is that there is another layer of meaning in it, saving Lin Yuxing from running around after finding the medicine, but it increases the possibility of not being able to bring back the medicinal materials, and Zhong Lao really can't wait any longer.
"Okay!" Lin Yuxing felt that it would be good to be appropriate, not too much, so he also made some concessions.
"But these blood spirit stones must be used as a deposit for me first, otherwise what if you don't admit it at that time?" Lin Yuxing continued.
"Hmph! The old man is still afraid that you will run away after you get the blood spirit stone! In this way, I will give you 20,000 yuan first, and I will give the rest when you come back. "Zhong Xue didn't have a good airway.
"Okay!" Lin Yuxing agreed after a deep sigh.
Zhong Xue also simply took out a heavy cloth bag and handed it to Lin Yuxing, "Here are two hundred medium-grade blood spirit stones. ”
"Medium-grade blood spirit stone!" Lin Yuxing exclaimed, and then took the cloth bag.
He opened the cloth bag and took out a blood spirit stone, only to see that this blood spirit stone was a little darker than the color he had seen before.
This is the first time he has seen a medium-grade blood spirit stone, and now most people use the first-grade blood spirit stone, so they usually call the blood spirit stone directly, and people also acquiesce, and the blood spirit stones in circulation are also first-grade blood spirit stones.
According to the division of the Blood Refining Continent, this blood spirit stone is divided into the first grade, the middle grade, the upper grade, and the legendary best blood spirit stone, which can be exchanged for a hundred initial grades, and a top grade can be exchanged for a hundred medium grades, and so on.
The higher the grade of this blood spirit stone, the more difficult it is to find, and the more blood qi it contains, so no one is stupid enough to directly exchange a high-grade product for a low-grade finished product.
Lin Yuxing held the cloth bag containing two hundred medium-grade blood spirit stones in his hand, and suddenly felt that even if there was no last ten thousand pieces this time, these two hundred medium-grade plus one Transformation Pill would be a big profit no matter what.
But he wouldn't be stupid enough to get the things he didn't want, and as soon as he received the blood spirit stone into his storage space, Lin Yuxing had a feeling that this really belonged to him.
"Since I have already agreed to this matter, Elder Zhong will now tell me about the appearance of this Blood Cloud Fruit and the matters to pay attention to when picking!" Lin Yuxing said seriously.
"This is easy to say, the old man is ready, they are all in this jade tube, you can take the time to take a look. Zhong Xue seemed to be in a good mood, so he directly took out a jade tube and threw it to Lin Yuxing.
"Okay, now that I've agreed, I'll do what I say, and there's still about two days left, and I'm going to get ready, and the boy is going to take his leave." After Lin Yuxing was satisfied, he directly said the language of farewell.
"Then I won't be far away. Zhong Xue arched his hand.
After seeing Lin Yuxing leave, the old man sat down and panted slightly.
"Elder Zhong, it's okay, right?"
A person who was also dressed in a black robe suddenly appeared in the room, and when he saw Zhong Xue's weak appearance, he was a little worried.
"It's okay!" said Zhong Lao with a wave of his hand.
"Zhong Lao really trusts this person?" the black-robed man asked.
"There's no way, now that the poison has begun to attack early, we don't have much time to wait any longer, so we can only be a dead horse doctor. Zhong Lao said helplessly.
"I can't imagine that this poison can't even be used by you, it's really a wonder in the world. The black-robed man sighed.
"This continent is full of too many unknowns, and we need to be in awe in the future. Zhong Lao said earnestly.
After saying that, the lights around him were removed, and the room returned to darkness again, as if the night had swallowed everything in the house, including Zhong Xue and the others......
