Chapter 138: Buying Pills, a Formation Master

Seeing Qin Xiao actually agree so readily, Ling Ruoxue felt a bit regretful. She had quoted too low a price. Why did she have to give a discount?

“Haha, generous as ever, Young Master Qin! Don’t worry, I’ll report the sale later. You can pay the Spirit Stones when the time comes, before the Secret Realm trip.”

She felt she had lost twenty million, even though she was making tens of millions. Still, Ling Ruoxue had started calling him Young Master Qin.

“Alright, cut the act.”

Whenever Ling Ruoxue became polite, a trap was sure to follow. Qin Xiao cut her off at once.

“By the way, do you have any life-saving pills? You know my current situation is not safe at all. I need to keep some pills on hand at all times. In case I get injured, I won’t have to tough it out.”

Qin Xiao knew Ling Ruoxue definitely felt she lost out by giving a discount and wanted to cheat him out of Spirit Stones from elsewhere, so Qin Xiao simply took the initiative himself. I’ll buy them, okay?

“Yes, absolutely. This time I brought many good things, guaranteed to satisfy you.”

After speaking, Ling Ruoxue took out many bottles and jars from her Storage Bag.

“These are Immortal Spirit Pills, for saving your life. You saw them at the first auction: five hundred thousand each. Ten in this bottle, so five million. These newly arrived Spirit-Burst Pills were at the last auction too. Ten in a bottle, thirty million. See? I’m charging you the auction prices. With the other pills, I’ll call it a hundred million for the lot. Well worth it!”

Ling Ruoxue had long prepared for this, waiting for Qin Xiao to ask. She directly gave Qin Xiao all the highest prices.

Hearing Ling Ruoxue’s quotes, Qin Xiao somewhat regretted his previous actions. For that Immortal Spirit Pill, back then he had raised the price from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand just to cheat the Li Family Ancestor. Now Ling Ruoxue was selling it to him for five hundred thousand per pill again.

As for this Spirit-Burst Pill, he had also raised the price to thirty million just to cheat the Luo sisters. Now Ling Ruoxue was selling it to him for thirty million too. This was retribution.

“Miss Ling, you brought all this just for me, didn’t you?”

Qin Xiao said somewhat speechlessly.

“What are you saying? Anyone else would have to be able to afford them first. We both made Spirit Stones last time. Don’t tell me you can’t afford it.”

Qin Xiao guessed correctly. Ling Ruoxue brought these things specifically targeting Qin Xiao. After all, last time Qin Xiao earned six hundred fifty million for nothing, and she didn’t even take commission from him. What’s wrong with selling you some things? Didn’t you also get things?

“Fine, deal.”

Qin Xiao couldn’t be bothered to haggle over every little detail. Last time she covered two hundred million for him. Visit novеlping.com for the full chapter.

Zhang Zuo and Li You were both dumbfounded at this moment. Is business negotiated like this? A few sentences, and one hundred eighty million was gone?

These were Spirit Stones, not copper coins from the mortal world. Even if they were copper coins, that would be a huge pile, right?

A few words had settled a deal worth a year and a half of their combined wages. That was only because Qin Xiao paid so well. At their old monthly pay, it would have taken years.

“Impressive, Miss Ling. You’ve closed deals worth a hundred and eighty million in no time.”

Li Rende was also very impressed. No wonder Qin Xiao could become a distinguished member. There was definitely a reason.

“Wait, Supervisor Li. The eighty million for the quotas belongs to the association, but I bought those hundred million worth of pills with my own Spirit Stones. That sale is mine. It doesn’t belong to the association.”

Ling Ruoxue quickly interjected.

The Spirit Stones earned from betting last time were all handed over, which made her very unhappy. They only gave her fifty million as her share, so this time she had to earn some Spirit Stones for herself.

The Immortal Dao Merchant Association didn’t belong to the Ling Family alone. Hand over the earnings, and everyone got a dividend. What she earned on her own was hers.

Li Rende didn’t expect this to be the case, but he reacted quickly and promptly replied.

“What a shame, Miss Ling. If you had a Heavenly Spirit Root, I could take you as my disciple. Too bad you only have an Earthly Spirit Root.”

Qin Xiao felt Ling Ruoxue was quite an interesting person. It’s just a shame he couldn’t take her as a disciple.

“Not necessarily. The Ling Family has a special constitution. We can awaken our spiritual roots twice in a lifetime. I prefer business to cultivation, so I haven’t had my second awakening. If I did, a Heavenly Spirit Root would be easy.”

Hearing Qin Xiao say she only had an Earthly Spirit Root, she felt somewhat indignant too. I just don’t like it, that doesn’t mean I don’t have it.

“Disciple, is there really such a thing?”

Qin Xiao asked somewhat puzzled.

“It’s true. But everyone wants different things. Sister Xue doesn’t like cultivation, so her spiritual root doesn’t matter to her. Not everyone cares about roots or becoming immortal. I support her doing what she likes.”

For once, Yun Man sided with Ling Ruoxue instead of agreeing with Qin Xiao.

“Oh, that makes sense too. Indeed, everyone’s ideals are different. Not everyone must pursue cultivation.”

This was the first time Qin Xiao had heard in this world that someone wasn’t passionate about cultivation. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“Still, Miss Ling, if you ever change your mind and have that second awakening, come to me for a master. I really need a disciple like you.” This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.

Qin Xiao still didn’t want to give up, so he made his request.

“Take you as my master? What are you thinking? With the talent I’d awaken and my family’s backing, what master couldn’t I find? Even a Tribulation Transcendence expert. Why would I choose you? What could you give me?”

Ling Ruoxue looked at Qin Xiao speechlessly. You kid think quite highly of yourself, wanting me to take you as my master?

Those little resources might trick the Luo sisters and Cang Chen, but who am I? What haven’t I seen? Can your little resources tempt me?

“I don’t care. If you change your mind and want to cultivate in the future, I’ll have Yun Man go tie you up and bring you here anyway. You can’t beat my disciple anyway.”

Qin Xiao naturally couldn’t reveal his resources, so he simply acted shamelessly.

“Disciple, tell me, is taking me as your master better than taking some Tribulation Transcendence great power as your master?”

Qin Xiao asked Yun Man again.

“Well… probably? I’ve never had a Tribulation Transcendence expert for a master. But if Sister Xue does change her mind, I’d recommend my master.”

The question baffled Yun Man. How would she know what a Tribulation Transcendence master was like? The Yun Family had once had an ancestor at that realm, but the ancestor was always in seclusion. She had never even met them, let alone known what it was like to be their disciple.

“Man’er, has this boy put restrictions on you too? When the expert gets here, I’ll have him examine you first. Qin Xiao may be a little handsome and have some resources, but he can’t compare to a Tribulation Transcendence expert. Yet you recommend him as a master? You probably have restrictions forcing you to say what you don’t mean.”

Ling Ruoxue was speechless. Qin Xiao thinking wishfully is one thing, but why do you think so too?

“Who do you want me to check first?”

Just as everyone was chattering nonsense, an old man arrived outside the door.

“Master Ji Ci, you’ve arrived.”

Seeing the newcomer, Ling Ruoxue quickly stood up to greet him.

This person was precisely the expert Ling Ruoxue had sought, Master Ji Ci, also one of the Formation Masters of the Immortal Dao Merchant Association. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of Body Integration. But compared to his cultivation, his formations were even more formidable.

“You’re too polite, Miss Ling. How could I refuse when you sent for me?”

Ji Ci said with a smile.
