The shopkeeper Sun on the first floor.
It was the one who had previously driven Xu Taiping away.
“Where on earth did this kid get so many fur coats of the Green-Eyed Demon Wolves？ And he’s selling them at a dirt-cheap price of two Gold Essence Coins each.”
Shopkeeper Sun at the entrance of the Shiyi Zhai looked at Xu Taiping’s booming fur coat business with a very complicated mood.
Because in the Shiyi Zhai, this kind of business dealing with the fur coats of magical beasts was mainly under his responsibility.
Although they were just the fur coats of ordinary magical beasts and had no effect on cultivators, they could be used as the best material for making top-quality clothes.
For example, the fur coat of the Green-Eyed Wolf could prevent wind and keep warm.
Even an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts, in the coldest winter, only needed to put on one over a single-layered garment to avoid being invaded by the wind and cold.
The most crucial point was that the fur of the Green-Eyed Wolf was very thin and light.
After putting it on, it didn’t look bulky at all.
So even though only the children of the wealthy merchant families could afford to wear it, every winter it was still in short supply.
And this year, because the Golden Scale Assembly was scheduled to start in winter, some young ladies from well-to-do families, in order to attract the attention of the young heroes from all over the world, had early on placed orders with the Shiyi Zhai for this year’s fur coats.
“Shopkeeper Sun, this is a big business. We should have let him in just now.”
The shop assistant who greeted the customers looked at Xu Taiping with a pitying expression and said.
“What a pity？ Even if he sells a thousand fur coats, it’s just a business worth over a thousand Gold Essence Coins.”
Although he also felt a bit sorry in his heart, when he heard the shop assistant’s question, Shopkeeper Sun, who cared a great deal about his face still looked disdainful.
“Even in the capital city, there are only so many young masters and ladies who can afford such fur coats every year, and these people have already ordered the goods from our Shiyi Zhai. So for us, there is no loss at all.”
He continued to defend himself.
These words were said both to the shop assistant and to himself.
“Shopkeeper Sun, what you said is extremely correct.”
The shop assistant smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
“By the way, Shopkeeper Sun, how should we explain to Shopkeeper Song？”
He then asked Shopkeeper Sun with a difficult look on his face.
“He’s just a street vendor. What trouble can he cause？ When those few hundred fur coats are sold out, he will naturally take the money and go looking for pleasure. I’ve seen many such people.”
Shopkeeper Sun said with his hands behind his back and a confident look on his face.
Almost at this time, the fur coats on Xu Taiping’s booth were snapped up by some shopkeepers who heard the news.
Some shop assistants who came up empty-handed began to have ideas about Xu Taiping’s wolf king skin cushion and the wolf king’s teeth under his buttocks, but Xu Taiping firmly refused to sell them.
So a group of people began to pester him there.
“Look, I was right, wasn’t I? He only has that little bit of stuff to sell.”
Youdaoplaceholder0 Sun smiled smugly while looking at this scene.
However, when he saw Xu Taiping pour white beads onto the cushion, his face suddenly froze.
”The beads are as white as mutton fat, with colorful halos under the sunlight, and… they emit a faint orchid fragrance…”
After circulating his true essence to his eyes and carefully seeing the beads that Xu Taiping piled on the fur cushion, Shopkeeper Sun muttered to himself, took a deep breath, and then said with a scorching gaze：
”Could these be the Golden Toad Beads produced in Golden Toad Valley？！”
……
”That’s right, these are the Golden Toad Beads produced in Golden Toad Valley. You really have good eyesight, sir.”
Xu Taiping, who was standing in front of the booth with his arms crossed, looked at a middle-aged man in front of him with a smile.
Judging from the man’s clothes, he should be the shopkeeper of a nearby store.
In fact, Xu Taiping himself didn’t know much about the Golden Toad Beads. Even the name was learned from the middle-aged man in front of him.
These beads were all taken from the bodies of the killed toad demons when fighting with the Golden Toad Poison Mother in Golden Toad Valley.
When they were just taken out, it was completely to make room for the Green Gourd.
Now just the body of that Merman Dragon takes up a large area of the Green Gourd.
If it piles up like this any longer, Bai Yu and Ping An will really have to sleep in the garbage heap.
“Brother, name your price. I want all the Golden Toad Pearls here.”
The middle-aged man said very boldly.
“Shopkeeper Bai, you, you’re being unkind. The Golden Toad Pearl is unique to the Blood Rain Forest, and the Golden Toad Poison Mother has a vengeful personality. It’s difficult to obtain even one with ordinary means. You can’t take them all for yourself just because your family has a big business.”
Immediately, another middle-aged man beside him objected.
“That’s right. The fur of the Green-Eyed Wolf is easy to deal with, but you, Changchun Hall, can’t monopolize this thing.”
“Yeah, Shopkeeper Bai, if you don’t leave us even a single one, it will really hurt the harmony.”
Several other guests who were interested in buying the Golden Toad Pearl also spoke up one after another at this time.
This scene made Xu Taiping feel very strange, and he immediately transmitted his voice to Ping’an in the gourd and asked：
“Ping’an, can you hear what these people are thinking in their hearts？”
Not long after, only Ping’an’s answer was heard：
“They seem to be saying that the demon core of this toad is an indispensable ingredient for the Face-Rejuvenating Pill. The demon core of the toad demon in the Golden Toad Valley is even the best among all toad demon cores and can be used to refine the most superior Face-Rejuvenating Pill. One can be sold for a thousand gold essence coins.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly understood in his heart.
For ordinary people with only a lifespan of over a hundred years, especially women, they naturally care very much about their appearance.
And even for cultivators, not every cultivator can cultivate the technique to change their appearance.
So it is normal for this face-preserving pill to have such a price.
”What is the price in their hearts？”
Xu Taiping asked Ping’an again.
”Hmm…”
Ping’an paused for a moment, and then said：
”One Golden Toad Pearl, one hundred gold essence coins, but that Manager Bai is willing to pay one hundred and fifty.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately felt relieved in his heart.
”I have a total of one hundred and fifty Golden Toad Pearls in my hand. Even if one is sold for one hundred gold essence coins, it can still be sold for fifteen thousand gold essence coins.”
He roughly calculated in his heart and immediately let out a big sigh of relief.
With fifteen thousand gold essence coins, even if he doesn’t sell the corpses and weapons of those monsters, he can solve the urgent need at present.
”This little brother！”
Just at this time, the chubby Manager Sun of Shiyi Zhai suddenly rushed to the front of Xu Taiping’s booth in a hurry.
