"Do you need gold beads?"

Gu Xiu asked, she had also seen a map for sale at the gates of Fengcheng, Jingxian City and other cities before, but since it was for sale, it was naturally for gold beads.

The guard smiled: "I wanted it before, and I wanted it later, but these two months are just in time for the birthday of the city lord's wife, and the city lord has issued an order, and every foreign monk who enters the city can get a map of the city for free." ”

"This is good, your city lord is also too generous, I heard that during this time, there will be discounts in all shops in your Shangcheng City, is this true?"

Gu Xi asked excitedly.

"Naturally, it's true, but this is not the order of the city lord, but the result of the discussion of the seniors of the city chamber of commerce, so as to add luster to the birthday of the city lord's wife. ”

Gu Xiu and the others took a map, and walking on the road, Gu Xuan also sighed: "This big city is a big deal, the middle city of Jingxian City, a map also needs ten gold beads, and the map of this Shangcheng has at least fifteen to twenty gold beads, and I saw that the guard sent out dozens of copies, and I couldn't lose more than 10,000 gold beads a day, hundreds of thousands of gold beads in two months, and those shops, the loss was even more." ”

Gu Xi echoed: "No, I'm afraid that only a big city like Shangcheng can have such a big stroke, if our Xianshui City follows suit, not to mention two months, only two days, I'm afraid we can't afford to lose." ”

Gu Xi said, and looked around, City Lord He and they had already been arranged by the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion to stay, and they had just been separated from them.

It's just that Gu Xi is still not at ease, even if what he said is true, if it is heard by City Lord He and others, it is not beautiful.

"Third brother, sixth sister, what you think is too simple. ”

Gu Xiu looked at these two sentences and praised the wealth of the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion one after another, and looked envious, and couldn't help but remind.

"Do you think they're giving away maps and shops discounting them, so they're giving them away at a loss?"

"Isn't it?" Gu Xi said strangely.

Gu Xuan looked at her as well.

"Of course not, you didn't look at the streets, how many monks are there?"

Gu Xiu raised his chin slightly, motioned for them to look at the crowded street, and then looked at the shops on both sides of the street: "And you can imagine how prosperous their business is when you see these shops selling pills, magic weapons, materials, and other cultivation things, almost all of them are lined up.

Although the customers in these shops are local monks from Shangcheng, I think most of them are monks who come from other places to see the excitement like us. ”

"I've known this for a long time, what does this have to do with what we said before, and the more customers there are, the more those stores sell, and the more they lose. ”

Gu Xi was even more strange.

Gu Xiu sighed, she knew that Gu Xi had lived in a small city like Xianshui City all the year round and was trapped by the inherent thinking formed by the environmental materials of Xianshui City, so she didn't understand the key to this.

"I guess that although these shops have discounts, the discounted items must be common things that can be grown or refined in large quantities, such as those extremely rare and rare things, there must be no discounts. ”

Gu Xiu reminded again, seeing that Gu Xi still looked ignorant, but Gu Wang and Gu Xuan each pondered, Gu Xiu continued: "Shangcheng is different from Xianshui City, Xianshui City even has alchemists who can refine ordinary replenishing pills and gathering pills, talismans who can draw low-level waterproof talismans and fire talismans, and refiners who can refine low-grade magic weapons, all of which are pitiful.

Although these things cannot be said to be priceless in Xianshui City, they are not worried about selling, and they will always be in short supply.

However, Shangcheng is the opposite, there are abundant materials here, monks gathered, and there are countless capable alchemists, talisman makers, and refiners, like those common pills, talismans, magic weapons, and materials, of course, the supply exceeds demand.

Therefore, often many ordinary alchemists, talisman makers, and refiners, the inferior talismans made of ordinary pill magic weapons are not easy to sell.

And now, you see, because of the birthday banquet of the city lord's wife, the city lord's mansion of Shangcheng invited guests and cultivators to gather, and the shops also used the gimmick of discounts, which attracted a lot of ordinary monks from other places.

Compared with these, it is difficult to say whether the maps that are sent out and the discounts that are given away are discounts, and these are nothing. ”

After Gu Xiu finished speaking, the other three didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Xiu glanced at the three of them, what she said was clear enough, she shouldn't still be incomprehensible.

It was Gu Xi who spoke first, "Eighth sister, even if this is the case, I am still going to buy some pill talismans here, before I go out, I brought out all my savings over the years, just to buy more while it is cheap." ”

"Eighth sister, I think the same way. Gu Xuan looked at Gu Xiu and said embarrassedly: "Even if they want to make money, I can only let them make money, when I think of not buying the cheap goods here, but going back to Xianshui City to buy expensive ones, my heart is dripping blood." ”

Although Gu Wang didn't speak, that expression already showed that he and Gu Xuan and Gu Xi were in the same mind.

Gu Xiu almost cramped with laughter in her heart, but she still couldn't hold back her laughter and asked Gu Xuan: "Sixth sister, aren't you going to participate in the selection of new disciples from the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion, why do you still want to go back?"

Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect this, could it be that I subconsciously thought that I couldn't choose, this is not good, before I started, it is the most important thing to destroy my prestige." ”

Gu Xiu finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and in the stunned and strange eyes of the three of them, he laughed for a while before saying: "Second brother, third brother, sixth sister, are you confused, these shops make theirs, we buy ours, is it because they make money, we can't buy it, where does this come from."

They make money, we save money, this is not a contradiction, this is a mutually beneficial thing, killing two birds with one stone, why are you so entangled?"

Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "yes, what did I think about." ”

"Eighth sister, you are deliberately misleading us, alas, the third brother has a bad brain, and my sister laughed at me. ”

Gu Xi said miserably.

"Hey, I said this fellow Daoist, you are too unreasonable, it is obvious that we first took a fancy to this fourth-order jade spirit venison, and you are forcing it to buy it now, it is really too deceitful!"

The Gu Xiu brothers and sisters walked around and looked for the inn, and looked at several inns, either they were not satisfied, or the price was too expensive, so although they had been in the city for half an hour, they were still wandering aimlessly in the huge Shangcheng.

Walking around, there is always something new to come across.

They were going to enter a pill shop, but Gu Xiu saw that the discount list outside the pill shop said that the beast breath pill was seven discounts, so she wanted to buy some for the earth wind bear, and she still owed this guy's account.

Unexpectedly, before entering the pill shop, there was a dispute in the ingredient shop next door, and an extremely loud female voice came out from the crowded guests in the ingredient shop.
