“Shopkeeper Sun, you and a few other shopkeepers go to welcome the Goddess, and I will personally talk to that cultivator to see if I can get him to close his stall before the Goddess arrives.”
After only a moment of hesitation, Shopkeeper Song made a decision.
At this moment, the carriage of Goddess Mu Yuchen of the Absolute Nether Heaven was still at the street corner, and many onlookers had gathered in Western Zhou. They might not necessarily notice the situation here.
“Yes！”
Shopkeeper Sun nodded repeatedly and immediately led the other shopkeepers forward to greet them respectfully.
This Goddess of the Absolute Netherworld not only has an extremely high status, but also her family is extremely wealthy. Just by doing a few deals with her casually, the losses of the Shiyi Studio in the past two years can be made up.
This is also the reason why they attach so much importance to this visit of the Goddess.
Soon, the Great boss Song used some means and immediately squeezed to the front row of Xu Taiping’s booth.
“Brother, can you sell this Shark Head Hammer made from the skull of the Deep Sea Shark Demon to my Shiyi Studio？ As for the price, you just name it.”
Because there was no time to waste, the Great shopkeeper Song directly asked Xu Taiping to quote a price.
Some other shopkeepers who were interested in buying on the side, after seeing that the person who came was the Great shopkeeper Song of the Shiyi Studio, also chose to remain silent.
Xu Taiping looked at the shopkeeper Sun who ran to greet the Goddess in a sorry state, and the trace of unhappiness in his heart disappeared completely.
After today, that shopkeeper Sun will surely be punished.
Although the anger has been vented, the meat of this Shiyi Studio still has to be cut.
“Great Shopkeeper Song, you make an offer.”
Xu Taiping looked at the Great shopkeeper Song with a calm expression.
This Great shopkeeper Song actually had a brief encounter with him before.
When dealing with that Ghost King of the Ghost Floating Butcher, both the Great shopkeeper Song and the Princess Chu Xiaoxiao were present.
However, Xu Taiping had no intention of building on this acquaintance, nor did he plan to ask the Shiyi Zhai for anything because of it.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had just learned from the onlookers that among those in the capital city who had the financial means to “acquire” this Shark Head Hammer, apart from the Shiyi Zhai, there were only a few noble families and sects.
Xu Taiping didn’t want to deal with other noble families and sects anymore, so if he wanted to sell this Shark Head Hammer, the Shiyi Zhai was the best choice.
”This…”
Shopkeeper Song hesitated slightly, and then stretched out a finger to Xu Taiping and said：
”Our Shiyi Zhai can offer one hundred thousand gold essence coins.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd beside them was immediately in an uproar.
At this price, if a couple of ten thousand more were added, one could even buy a celestial weapon in the Youyun Heaven.
Of course, if one happened to encounter someone who urgently needed this thing, the Shark Head Hammer was also worth this price.
Although it was not a celestial treasure, because of its texture, which was even harder than that of a celestial weapon, some Martial Saints and even Martial Gods preferred to use it as a weapon.
”One hundred thousand…”
Xu Taiping stroked his chin and seriously considered it.
At first, he was also very satisfied with the price of one hundred thousand. Just then, Shoudao Ping’an transmitted a voice to him and said, “This old man said that he can add at most twenty thousand more, otherwise, even if he is laughed at by the Goddess, he will never make this losing deal.”
”Brother, whether you sell it or not, please be straightforward.”
Seeing the Goddess’s carriage getting closer and closer, Shopkeeper Song became a little anxious.
The character of this Goddess is notoriously difficult to fathom. If she saw this Shark Head Hammer and their Picking Remnants Studio didn’t have it, the next business might be ruined.
“Twelve thousand, not a single gold essence coin less.”
Xu Taiping finally quoted the price.
He might still have to do business with the Picking Remnants Studio in the future, and he didn’t want to offend them to death either.
Upon hearing this price, the eyelids of Shopkeeper Song suddenly twitched violently twice, and then he gritted his teeth and nodded, saying：
“Brother, please come with me to the Picking Remnants Studio to get the money！”
Amid the discussions of the crowd, Xu Taiping put away the Shark Head Hammer and followed Shopkeeper Song towards the Picking Remnants Studio.
And the Goddess’s carriage, because it stopped at a garment shop on the street for a while, so it hadn’t arrived at the Picking Remnants Studio yet.
“Little brother, please count it.”
Shopkeeper Song of the Picking Remnants Studio handed a heavy money bag to Xu Taiping’s hand.
Regarding this business, although Shopkeeper Song didn’t make a profit, he actually didn’t lose either.
Because as the sea monsters in the sea became more and more rampant, the price of these sea monster spirit bones would surely rise in the next few years.
And their Picking Remnants Studio earned this price difference.
“No need, I trust the reputation of the Picking Remnants Studio.”
Xu Taiping didn’t even look at it and directly put away the money bag.
Seeing that Xu Taiping was so straightforward, the anger of Shopkeeper Song towards Shopkeeper Sun became stronger and stronger.
He thought to himself that such an easy-going customer could be offended by you, simply a waste.
“By the way, I don’t know how to address little brother？”
Shopkeeper Song looked at the convoy of the Goddess and then asked Xu Taiping very politely.
Just like Shopkeeper Bai of Changchun Hall, in the eyes of Shopkeeper Song, a cultivator who could take out a treasure like the Shark Head Hammer could never be an ordinary person, so he also had the intention to make friends.
“My surname is Xu.”
Xu Taiping smiled at Shopkeeper Song.
Before contacting the little junior sister of Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall and the others, in order to avoid accidents, he didn’t want to expose his identity for the time being.
“Today, the Goddess of Absolute Darkness has come to Shiyi Zhai in person. Otherwise, why don’t you, Young Master Xu, stay and have a dinner before leaving？”
Shopkeeper Song invited Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping was a little hesitant.
It wasn’t that he wanted to see what the legendary Goddess looked like. The main thing was that he wanted to take this opportunity to understand the current situation in the Chu State and the opponents he might encounter at the Golden Scale Meeting.
But just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Ping’an’s voice transmission in his mind again：
“Brother, this person just mentioned your name in his heart！”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping was shocked and then quickly asked：
”What did he say？”
Ping An’s voice came immediately：
”He said in his heart that although you also have the surname Xu, you should not be that Young Master Xu Taiping.”
”He also said that he hopes that when Young Master Xu Taiping comes, there will be fewer people and not be discovered by the hidden eyes and ears. Otherwise, he will not be able to deliver the letter of County Princess Xiaoxiao to your hands.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly tightened.
His always first sense told him that something must have happened.
