Chapter 21: Transaction
Tang Yin walked on the bustling street, there were many people who had set up stalls on both sides of the street to sell their goods. The sounds of negotiating, haggling and questioning came from all around the street.
Tang Yin attracted glances from people walking by him, this was mainly due to his bizarre red hair and handsome face. They only looked at him but did not say anything. Tang Yin did not care, he no longer wished to hide his appearance.
Tang Yin had grown up in Maple Leaf City since he was born, he was familiar with most of the shops in the city. Half an hour later, he stood in front of a lavish pavilion.
'Mo's Medicinal Pavilion, this pavilion belongs to the City Lord's Mansion, it is also one of the top 3 medicinal shops in Maple Leaf City'. Tang Yin stood before the pavilion with a relaxed posture, he recalled everything he knew about the pavilion before him.
One of the free servant boys noticed Tang Yin, he also noticed his clothes made of high-quality fabric. "Sir, this lowly one welcomes you to our humble pavilion, what can I do for you?" The servant boy politely asked Tang Yin while gesturing for Tang Yin to enter the pavilion before him.
Tang Yin calmly walked inside the pavilion, his expression was normal, and the servant boy could not make out Tang Yin's thoughts. "I want to sell something" Tang Yin stated with an amiable smile. "I'm afraid this lowly one does not have the authority to make a business transaction, I'll go get the shopkeeper." The servant boy did not wait for Tang Yin's response but hurriedly walked off, he then went towards a staircase and climbed it to head into the 2nd floor.
Tang Yin patiently waited for the servant boy to return with the shopkeeper. A few minutes later, the servant boy returned with the shopkeeper, after paying his respects, the servant boy left.
The shopkeeper was an old man with wrinkles on his face, he had his white hair tied up into a bun, he also wore clothes of a high-quality material which was superior to even Tang Yin's clothes which he had gotten from Shan Yu. 'Heaven Piercing Gaze' Tang Yin used the Heaven Piercing Gaze on the old man. The old man was at the 9th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm, his Martial Spirit was an Abacus. "Fellow cultivator, this old man heard you wanted to sell something to our pavilion." The old man had a smile on his face, he had seen through Tang Yin's cultivation which was why he referred to him as 'Fellow cultivator'. But he did not seem to realise Tang Yin had used the Heaven Piercing Gaze to see through his strength and Martial Spirit.
"That's right, I want to sell this" Tang Yin did not bother with any long talks and cut straight to the chase. He willed the storage ring and the violet flower he had obtained in the Demonic Beast Mountain appeared in his hand.
"Violet Star Core herb! Fellow cultivator, where did you obtain this herb from?" The old man blurted out the name of the herb in surprise and questioned Tang Yin.
"Do you always ask your customers where they obtain their items from?" Tang Yin coldly answered the old man's question with his own. "Forgive me Fellow cultivator for being rude, on behalf of Mo's Medicinal Pavilion, I apologise for my rudeness." The old man had come to a realisation that he had been rude and sincerely apologised, it did not look fake.
"Alright, no matter." Tang Yin said casually. "I'll give you 6 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for this Violet Star Core herb." The old man immediately offered upon seeing Tang Yin was not offended.
"Looks like there's no need for a transaction" Tang Yin refused in disappointment, and he turned around to leave. "Wait, this old man can offer 7 Low-Grade Spirit Stones". The old man immediately hurried over to Tang Yin while increasing his offer.
Tang Yin did not say anything, he continued to calmly walk towards the exit. The old man grew anxious, "At most, I can give you 8 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Fellow cultivator please consider the offer." The old man offered with a pained expression.
"10 Low Grade Spirit Stones and we have a deal" Tang Yin paused and stated a price. The old man seemed to be in deep thought, "Deal", the old man said through gritted teeth after several breaths of intense thinking.
Tang Yin turned around with a slight smile, "Would you like the payment in Low-Grade Spirit Stones or in taels of gold, 1 Low-Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to 1,000 taels of gold." The old man asked with a resigned expression on his face as if he had made a loss.
When Tang Yin heard the old man's words, he was slightly surprised, but after a second of thought, he understood. "I want 9 Low-Grade Spirit Stones and 1,000 taels of gold" Tang Yin handed over the Violet Star Core herb to the old man as he expressed his preferred payment method.
The old man handed 9 shiny stones to Tang Yin along with a heavy bag, Tang Yin did not count the taels of gold in the bag, he knew the old man would not cheat him of a few taels of gold and ruin the reputation of Mo's Medicinal Pavilion.
He swiftly stored the Spirit Stones and bag of gold in his storage ring, turned around and left without any more interaction.
