Chapter 39: Wanxiang Exchange
After Zhang Yi finished eating, he followed the waiter to look at the room.
It is worthy of being the second restaurant in Wanxiang City. The rooms are very luxurious and there are many night pearls. Of course, the room rates are not cheap.
As night fell, Zhang Yi walked towards a gathering place of cultivators with nothing to do.
Zhang Yi found this place by relying on his perception. Just look for a place with a lot of energy.
This is a very secret gathering place, hidden in a formation.
Zhang Yi easily avoided the traps in the formation and reached inside.
From the outside, this is a place shrouded in fog all year round, but once inside, it looks like a small town.
There are vendors around and restaurants in the distance.
Zhang Yi looked around along the way and found that most of them were weapons and herbs for sale.
There are very few things like exercises, and the price is relatively high compared to other things.
Why compare it to other things?
Because spirit stones are used as currency here, Zhang Yi doesn't know the price of spirit stones.
What if I don’t know the price?
Then go ask!
Zhang Yi walked into the restaurant and was greeted by the waiter inside. Zhang Yi found that the waiter had some cultivation and was at the third level of the Fusion Realm.
Blue Star's cultivation system is divided into nine realms from low to high: Qi training, consecration, fusion, elixir formation, golden elixir, golden body, integration, Mahayana, and transcending tribulations.
Each realm is divided into nine levels.
Zhang Yi did not go into the restaurant, but asked the waiter: "What's the price of staying in the hotel for a day?"
The waiter said with a smile: "This is your first time here. We are the only restaurant in this Wanxiang Exchange, but the prices are absolutely reasonable. A lower-class room requires one spiritual stone a day."
Zhang Yi nodded, bowed his head and left.
The price of this spiritual stone is very different from that in the outside world. A low-class house in the outside world costs one copper coin a day.
Zhang Yi walked towards the pawn shop not far away, planning to sell his skills in exchange for some spiritual stones.
There was an old man sitting in the pawn shop, thinking about something.
Seeing Zhang Yi walking in, he said without raising his head: "Buy or sell?"
Zhang Yi said: "Sell it, Huang Jie's best skill."
The old man paused for a moment, raised his head and said, "Take it and take a look."
Zhang Yi said with some embarrassment: "Get a piece of paper in your head and I will write it down."
The old man glanced at Zhang Yi and took out a pen and paper from the drawer.
Zhang Yi wrote the modified exercises on it.
According to Zhang Yi's cultivation level, any skill can be modified to improve its level.
But skills are not good, because they match the skills.
The old man stared at the modified fire exercise book, and there was some light in his eyes.
Nowadays, Xuan-level skills are extremely rare, so the best Huang-level skills have become a hot commodity.
The old man calmed down his expression and said: "Eight hundred spirit stones."
Zhang Yi said calmly: "Two thousand."
The old man was about to make a counteroffer, but he immediately held back.
It is true that he lowered the price of 800 on purpose, but this was for the purpose of negotiating the price later.
He thought that Zhang Yi's quotation might only go up by four to five hundred, but he didn't expect that it would go up by one thousand and two hundred.
This skill alone is not worth a thousand or two.
The old man coughed and said, "Little friend, let's not joke."
Zhang Yi sneered and said, "Isn't that the joke you made first?"
Huang-level top-quality skills can be sold for 1,100 spiritual stones. Even if the price is lowered in a pawn shop, it cannot be directly lowered to 800.
The old man laughed awkwardly and said, "Then nine hundred."
Zhang Yi immediately responded: "One thousand."
The old man shook his head: "It's too high."
Zhang Yi took the exercises and was about to leave. When the old man saw Zhang Yi leaving, he struggled and said: "Nine hundred and five, it can't be higher."
Zhang Yi ignored him. Just as Zhang Yi walked out of the door, the old man shouted: "Okay, okay, a thousand is a thousand."
Zhang Yi's originally expressionless face immediately put on a smile and walked back briskly.
The old man said helplessly: "You are so calm, aren't you afraid that I won't accept it?"
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Since you called me once, it means that you can actually accept the price and you still want it, so what should I be afraid of?"
This is how business is actually done. If you are a merchant and a customer always asks for the price of a product, it means that the customer really wants it and can change it according to the cost price and asking price.
The next step is to engage in psychological warfare with the customers to see who can lose their composure first.
Zhang Yi took the spirit stones packed in bags and walked towards the outside world with satisfaction.
Just when he was about to reach the exit, Zhang Yi saw the three fellow cultivators.
These three people were planning to buy something in front of a stall.
It was an herb. In Zhang Yi's opinion, it was just an herb with a slight therapeutic effect, and Zhang Yi also knew it. This herb was called Green Lingcao. It was not common, but it didn't have much value.
But the vendor said that this was Pure Lotus Grass. This Pure Lotus Grass was one of the sacred herbs of heaven and earth. Only a handful of precious herbs grew within a ten-mile radius of Pure Lotus. It could not only treat internal and external injuries, but also detoxify.
These three people obviously had little experience, plus the fact that Green Spirit Grass and Pure Lotus Grass looked alike, and the vendors’ prices were ridiculous, these three people were fooled.
Zhang Yi thought about it and decided to help. On the one hand, Zhang Yi admired the relationship between these three people. On the other hand, Zhang Yi was also a businessman. In his philosophy, he could manipulate the price, which was inappropriate.
It can be discussed, and there is no businessman who doesn’t make money, but he will never deceive customers and pass off inferior products as good ones. This is the bottom line of being a businessman.
Zhang Yi stepped forward and ignored the looks of the three people, picked up the green grass and said: "How to sell it?"
When the vendor saw that someone had taken the bait again, he said firmly: "Seven hundred spiritual stones."
Zhang Yi pretended to pay. The junior sister on the side became anxious and said to Zhang Yi: "This is what we saw first."
Zhang Yi glanced at her and asked: "Did you pay?"
The junior sister stopped talking. They really didn't pay.
Zhang Yi said disdainfully: "What can you say if you haven't paid?"
The junior sister felt extremely aggrieved and said to the vendor: "We will give you eight hundred spiritual stones."
The vendor smiled and said happily: "How about some of us bidding?"
Zhang Yi looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. This man is really greedy.
Zhang Yi said: "Okay, one thousand spirit stones."
Although Zhang Yi's face was calm and calm, he was panicking in his heart. That's all for me. Please don't quote me.
The younger junior sister discussed with the senior and second senior brothers and said, "One thousand and two."
In fact, the price of pure lotus grass is around one thousand. When the three people saw it only cost seven hundred, they naturally bought it very happily.
Zhang Yi was speechless, turned around and left directly.
The second senior brother looked at Zhang Yi's back and sarcastically said in a low voice: "If you don't have money, you still come to fight, you don't think you are overestimating your own abilities."
After hearing this, the senior brother was a little angry: "Junior brother, what are you talking about? He just wants the herbal medicine."
The junior sister also clapped angrily and looked at him.
The second senior brother also knew that he had said something harsh, so he saluted in the direction Zhang Yi left to express his apology.
