Chapter 25: Money, I am coming
Yang Shi left the shop with the book. He sighed and thought about the shortage of money. Then he suddenly thought, " Wait, I can sell the corpse of the demonic python." Of course, Yang Shi will only sell its corpse not it's beast core. Because he needs the beast core in some other things.
Yang Shi went back to the inn and took out the sack, Which is filled with corpse. Yang Shi carried it on his back and went out.
Hundred Gold Pavilion is the largest firm in the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. So it has a branch in Misty Tower city. It's not like those street hawkers. Hundred Gold Pavilion only sold authentic products, So naturally, Their prices are higher.
Yang Shi went there, In hope to fetch some money. He saw a five-story building, Painted with golden color and embedded with various jewels. Naturally, one can distinguish it from afar. Among surrounding buildings, It stood like a noble. Yang Shi entered the building and a beautiful girl greeted him.
" Welcome to our Hundred Gold Pavilion, Dear customer. What will you like to buy? We have all sorts of things, From cultivation techniques to powerful treasures, pills and herbs. We have all."
Umm, I came here to sell something." Yang Shi said.
" Oh, Customer wants to sell something? Please, this way, You can talk to our appraiser, Mr. Huang."
" Ok." Yang Shi nodded and followed the girl to a room.
" Ah, Welcome esteemed customer, What can I help you?" An old man with a white beard and wrinkled face said with a smile. By looks, the old man looks very normal, but his eyes have a very sharp look, Yang Shi felt like he was standing naked in front of this old man.
" I came here to sell this." With a pungent smell, a corpse of a python appeared.
The old man didn't show and disgust and looked closely at the corpse.
" Customer has brought a Yellow Mud Demonic Python. But It's very young and recently became a Demonic beast. From the corpse decomposition, It looks like it's killed two days ago. Hmm, If you brought it earlier, You might have gotten much more."
" It seems Mr. Huang has a sharp eyesight." Yang Shi said with a smile.
"Hahaha. Yes, In this business, One need to discern diamonds from coal." Mr. Huang laughed.
" But, Where it's beast core?" He asked.
" Errr, I didn't bring." Yang Shi said.
" Without, It's core it's price gonna decrease." Mr. Huang said with a frown.
" I still want to sell this." Yang Shi said.
" The flesh, blood, and organs have been rotted a bit. The skin is undamaged, and it has its poison sack. I can give you... Five thousand gold coins." Mr. Huang said.
" Hmm, But what if I add it's beast core?" Yang Shi asked.
" Then, You will get ten thousand gold coins. Actually, If you had brought just after killing it, You would have gotten twelve to thirteen thousand gold coins." Mr. Huang said.
" Hmm, I am willing to sell this at five thousand gold coins." Yang Shi agreed.
" About the beast core..." Mr. Huang asked probingly.
" I will think about it." Yang Shi said with a smile.
" Ok, It's nice to deal with you. Please come again. We guarantee that we will give you a satisfactory price."
Yang Shi began to stroll around the Pavilion. Then another girl asked him," Is the customer is looking for something?"
" Can you show me some weapons?" Yang Shi asked.
" Sure, we have a wide range of spirit weapons. Here, It's called Jade Star Sword. It's light and sharp. And if you infuse it with spiritual Qi, It's lethality will increase three folds.
" How much?"
" Only fifty thousand gold coins."
"...."
" Is there something cheap? I mean very cheap?"
Yang Shi said with a forced smile.
*Ahem* " Customer, This is called Crimson Fury. This saber is a bit heavy, But it's perfect to bring your raw strength. It is only for Fifteen Thousand gold coins.
*Sigh*
[ I am so poor] Yang Shi cried in his heart.
*Cough* " Can you show me some daggers?" Yang Shi said.
" Yes, We also have some very good quality of daggers. This set of Six throwing daggers are called [Six Death Stars]. Its made from Cold Core Iron. So it's very durable. Plus the feathers on it's back are from Sand Eagle, a powerful Flying-type Ferocious beast."
" How much?"
" Seven Thousand Gold Coins."
" Seven Thousand is a bit much. Can't you come down a little?"
" But customer... The girl forced a smile.
" Hmm, What about this?" Yang Shi pointed at the three Dark-colored daggers.
" This, It's called Dark Twilight. Basically, it's material is better than the [ Six Death Stars] It's made from Obsidian Crystal Steel, Which is more precious than cold-core iron.
But due to some reasons, Its spirit channeling diagram is not working. So you can't fuse your Spiritual Qi into it." The salesgirl explained.
" How much this cost?" Yang Shi was interested in this.
" Four thousand gold coins."
" Aiiiii. Ok, I will buy it."
" I will pack it right away." The girl nodded.
Yang Shi was satisfied after he brought these three daggers. Even he can't fuse his spiritual Qi in this, He can simply boost his power through internal energy and [ Flying Feathers] martial art.
" Ok, let's take some rest." Yang Shi came back to the inn and start reading the Alchemy book he had brought. There are three parts to it. The first part was the description of various medicinal ingredients. Yang Shi was able to remember them quickly, because he had the memory of Samsara Emperor. So he only flipped through the pages to remember their appearance and medicinal quality.
The second part was about controlling the Spirit flame and concocting some simple pills. For now, Yang Shi could able to do this.
And the third part was about various pills and their effects. From this, Yang Shi understood that he need [ Spirit Gathering Pills] to quickly cross the levels of [ Spiritual Ascension Realm].
Yang Shi is currently at the sixth level of [ Spiritual Ascension Realm]. And he needs to quickly reach [ Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm] For practice Alchemy or Blacksmithing.
" Let's cast this aside first. My top priority is killing 50 peoples in two months. What the hell should I do? Fifty people aren't cabbages." Yang Shi's mind was in mess.
" Wait... Money, People, Killing. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH. YES, HOW CAN I FORGET THAT?" Yang Shi laughed maniacally. In his purple pupils, the shade of fiery red increased.
There is a method to both complete the task and earn a shit load of money. It's called Assassination.
There are a lot of peoples who are willing to pay tonnes of money to kill peoples.
" I can do that and I have a perfect technique for that. But first I have to learn [ Cresent Wind Blade] and [ Flame Spike]"
With determination in his eyes, Yang Shi began his practice.
