On the path to immortality, I can see destiny.

Chapter 49 Young Master

"In that case, I'll give you twenty spirit stones."

The shopkeeper looked Zhao Fan up and down, made a quick calculation in his mind, and then offered a price.

Upon hearing the price, Zhao Fan frowned.

His willingness to pay doesn't mean he's willing to be ripped off.

Judging from the waiter's appearance, even if I paid twenty spirit stones, it wouldn't be a bad deal.

"This piece of scrap metal is definitely not worth twenty spirit stones, but my spirit pet likes it, so I'm willing to exchange it for a Spirit Cleansing Pill."

"If you are unwilling, then please take this piece of iron back."

Zhao Fan was really out of options. He had no spirit stones left, and besides the materials whose value was unknown, all he had left was the Qingling Pill.

"No, this thing was found in the cave of a Foundation Establishment cultivator; it's extremely valuable. One Cleansing Spirit Pill is definitely not enough!"

The boss noticed it immediately; the wolf came straight for this thing as soon as it appeared, its target was clear, so this thing must be quite useful to it.

So he refused to sell it just like that, insisting on getting a good rip-off.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Zhao Fan was at a loss for what to do. He did want the item, but he was unwilling to pay any more money.

"Hmph, it's just a piece of junk, how could it be worth so much money? Brother Zhao, let's not take it. Let him sell it to whomever he wants."

Seeing Zhao Fan hesitate and want to raise the price again, Su Zixuan became extremely anxious and immediately spoke up, interrupting Zhao Fan.

After hearing Su Zixuan's reminder, Zhao Fan gritted his teeth and decided against it.

"Alright, since that's the case, then let's return this to you, fellow Daoist."

After saying that, Zhao Fan forcefully pulled the metal piece out of the waiter's mouth and threw it to the boss.

The boss fell silent.

But then he had an idea.

"No way! Your spirit pet scratched my precious item with its teeth! You're not leaving until you pay me back with spirit stones!"

This reason made Zhao Fan laugh in anger.

I had always heard my master say that there was a difference between immortals and mortals, but now, looking at the scene before me, how is it any different from the wretched existence of mortals?

However, Zhao Fan simply decided to give up and do whatever he wanted.

"It seems you're planning to force me to buy?"

"I only have one Qingling Pill here. Either you sell it to me, or you can go to the shop owner here. The decision is entirely up to the shop owner."

The argument between the two quickly attracted a large group of cultivators to stop and watch.

They watched the interesting things happening here with great interest.

Soon, guards came over.

"Please calm down, both of you. Tell us what's wrong, and we will follow the rules here."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Fan looked up and discovered that it was the young man he had met before.

"Greetings, Young Master. This person failed to control his spirit pet, which injured my precious pet. He refuses to buy it and also refuses to compensate me."

When the boss saw the young man approaching, he was the first to complain.

Before Zhao Fan could even speak, Su Zixuan couldn't help but chime in.

"Hmph, compensation? I think you're planning to rob me outright. This piece of scrap metal, you want twenty spirit stones? It's not worth twenty spirit stones at all!"

"How do you know it's not worth twenty spirit stones?"

The boss immediately retorted, and the two then went back and forth, seemingly about to start arguing again.

At this point, the young man roughly understood what was going on and immediately stopped the two.

"Please calm down, both of you. I will handle this."

Upon hearing the young man's words, the two quickly stopped arguing.

"Fellow Daoist, since you say this item is worth twenty spirit stones, what proof do you have?"

The boss was about to boast, but after glancing at the young master's face, he swallowed his words.

"This, this piece of iron has scriptures and images engraved on it, it might be something like a cultivation technique."

The young man nodded and continued asking questions.

"If that's the case, then could this fellow Daoist's spirit pet have caused damage to the scriptures and images?"

The boss picked it up, glanced at it, and quickly fell silent.

Although the waiter caused some scratches, it did not affect the content on the screen.

"No...no."

In front of the young master, the boss dared not lie and could only tell the truth.

"In that case, no compensation is necessary. However, since this fellow Daoist's spirit pet damaged someone else's property, it would be better to offer some compensation."

"How about I take the liberty of compensating this boss with two low-grade talismans?"

Zhao Fan naturally had no objection to this compensation. Two low-grade talismans weren't even worth half a spirit stone. It was good to avoid further trouble.

The shop owner didn't say much. The young master had asked clearly, and he couldn't make things difficult. After all, it was unreasonable to demand compensation without any actual loss.

Beside her, Su Zixuan stared blankly at the young master, her eyes wide with disbelief.

This young master was dashing and debonair, handled matters with clarity and efficiency, and exuded a charm that deeply attracted Su Zixuan.

"In that case, please take these two talismans, fellow Daoist. Consider them my apology for this spirit pet."

Without hesitation, Zhao Fan took out two low-grade talismans from his storage bag and handed them to the boss.

The shopkeeper looked at the two talismans and silently accepted them under the watchful gaze of the young master.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

After Zhao Fan handed over the talisman, he ignored Xiao Er's struggles, grabbed it by the neck, and turned to leave.

Before he had taken two steps, Zhao Fan noticed that Su Zixuan was looking back at the young master as she walked.

Zhao Fan was curious and looked back, just in time to see the boss also looking back at him.

"Fellow Daoist, how about raising the price a bit more, and I'll sell this item to you?"

Upon hearing the boss's words, the young master, who had just turned to leave, stopped and turned back to meet Su Zixuan's gaze, who had been staring at him.

Seeing that the young master had noticed, Su Zixuan immediately blushed and quickly lowered her head.

"Then tell me, fellow Daoist, how much more? I truly cannot afford to pay more."

Zhao Fan naturally wanted this item as well, so he responded.

"How about this, fellow Daoist, give me ten spirit stones, and this thing will be yours."

The boss thought for a moment and gave Zhao Fan a 50% discount.

Zhao Fan did not refuse again; ten spirit stones was a price he could accept.

Then, Zhao Fan took out two Qingling Pills and handed them to the boss.

The shopkeeper was delighted to see the two Qingling Pills and quickly took them.

Beside her, the young master looked at Su Zixuan, a slight smile playing on his lips, and took the initiative to step forward.

"Now that the deal is done, please return the compensation you just paid."

The shopkeeper had originally intended to keep the two talismans, but since the young master of the shop had spoken up, he had no choice but to take them out and return them to Zhao Fan.

Even so, he still didn't lose money. The premium on those two Qingling Pills alone was already higher than the price of those two low-grade talismans.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

After putting away the two talismans, before Zhao Fan could even speak, Su Zixuan took the initiative to thank the young master.
