Chapter Thirty-One: Double Price

  "Who dares to make trouble in my store?!"

  A loud roar startled the people upstairs in the store, and in an instant, several cultivators with similar cultivation to Xia Qi rushed out, followed by a dignified old man in magnificent attire, who let out a thunderous shout!

  "Shopkeeper, this man is causing trouble in the store and even wants to rob the treasure. I tried to stop him, but my cultivation is not enough. He even wants to kill me! Shopkeeper, please hurry up and have someone kill him!"

  Never had such a shameful little servant, at this moment seeing the old man in fine clothes, he rolled and crawled to the front of the old man, without caring about Xia Qi, first a burst of stool basin was knocked down!

  The young shop assistant's father, also a monk, had once helped the current shop owner, which was why he was able to do some cheap business in the store with his humble skills. He believed that Xia Qi would definitely die this time!

  "Take him down!"

  The old man in Chinese clothes saw the messy shop and, trusting his old friend's son, chose to believe him without hesitation. With a wave of his hand, two cultivators with similar cultivation levels as Xia Qixiu rushed forward like wolves and tigers!

  "Slandering at will, without distinguishing right from wrong, and even wanting to take action against customers. A store like this is really opening my eyes today!"

  Xia Qi sneered, facing the two cultivators of the same rank who were attacking him, but he was not flustered at all. The Xuanpin lower-grade magic sword appeared in his hand, and with a flash of cold light, the sword shadow overlapped, already fearlessly meeting the attack head-on!

  At this point, it was obviously impossible to trade with this family store. Xia Qi was confident that he could escape, but he was not willing to leave like this, so he drew his sword and charged at the two opponents!

  "Ding ding......!"

  Sword shadows flicker, cold gleams dot by dot, sharp swords intersect, brittle sounds in succession!

  Bang!

  Sword shadows were heavy, human shadows flickered, making it almost impossible to see the three figures rolling around in a ball! After a moment, only a loud roar was heard, and two figures rolled out of the sword shadows and fell to the ground!

  At this moment, two cultivators at the 9th level of Qi Refining faced Xia Qi alone. In an instant, they were struck by Xia Qi's single sword and spat out blood, falling to the ground!

  The little servant hiding behind the old man in Chinese clothes, at this moment his pupils were wide open, full of incredulity, staring at Xia Qi standing in the middle of the shop, terrified to the extreme, even his body was trembling with fear!

  " Fellow Taoist, what you just said seems to imply that this humble shop has wronged you in some way?"

  The two monks who had fallen to the ground, along with Xiao Cong, were all pale with fear, but there was one exception - the old man in the magnificent robe, who remained calm and composed as he asked.

  Judging from his demeanor, Xia Qi also knew that this old man in magnificent attire had probably succeeded in building his foundation, so even seeing Xia Qi's ferocity, he remained calm and composed, without changing color.

  "Right or wrong, you'll know as soon as I ask!" With a disdainful glance at the little servant who was almost paralyzed on the ground, Xia Qi coldly opened his mouth. Even if he had guessed that the old man in brocade was a foundation-building cultivator, he didn't show any fear!

  By this time, even the old man in the back had realized that things were not as they seemed, and that it was not the son of his old friend who was speaking. Upon hearing Xia Qi's words, he turned to look at the young servant boy.

  "Speak the truth, tell me everything that happened, or I won't be able to protect you today!" The old man in elegant clothes suddenly changed his tone and stared at the young servant with an extremely sharp gaze. Instantly, the young servant, whose cultivation was only at the second layer of Qi Refining, felt a pressure like a mountain range coming down on him, forcing him to kneel to the ground, his head bowed like a garlic press!

  "Shopkeeper, no, Uncle Yu! I really didn't mean to deceive, I was just momentarily blinded by greed and insulted this senior. Uncle Yu, save me!"

  At this point, Xiao Qi no longer dared to hide the truth. In Xia Qi's eyes, which were as sharp as a sword, he saw a murderous intent and let out a terrified cry, telling the truth.

  It's not a big deal, but after being flattered by the scattered repairs for a long time, he couldn't bear Xie Qi's indifferent treatment of himself. He felt as if he had been insulted and wanted to teach Xie Qi a lesson, but he didn't expect Xie Qi to be so fierce!

  "Scoundrel! It seems that over the years you've forgotten my teachings, to actually treat a guest like this!" The old man with the surname Yu glared at Qi Feng in anger, never having expected that the son of his benefactor would have such poor character!

  Furiously and uncontrollably, he beat Zhi Feng severely, but after all, he was the son of a benefactor, so Yu Xiong didn't take heavy measures against him. After beating him for a while, he awkwardly opened his mouth to Xia Qi.

  "This fellow Taoist, today's matter is not only the fault of Qi Feng, but also the poor hospitality of our humble shop. Fortunately, no harm was done. Can you spare Qi Feng's life? Of course, if you're willing, next time you want to sell any materials, our shop will buy them at double the price!"

  The old man with the surname Yu smiled and opened his mouth, even willing to double the purchase of materials, wanting Xia Qi to let go of Qi Feng. Xia Qi's heart moved suddenly.

  He had no intention of continuing to trade with this store, after all, the other party was already very polite, Xia Qi would not really kill Qi Feng, after all, these stores were opened by powerful forces behind them, if they were really angry and didn't care about the impact, killing Xia Qi was also possible, at most the store wouldn't open!

  "In that case, let's just drop the matter. But I'm not sure if what you said about me selling materials at double the price counts?" Xia Qi didn't look at Qi Feng, but instead stared at the old man with the surname Yu.

  "Alright! As expected, you're a straightforward fellow. I'll give you double the price for the materials you sold me, and consider it compensation for what happened in this store today. Just hope that once we leave this place, you can forget about today's events." The old man with the surname Yu smiled as he spoke.

  Double the price, let bygones be bygones, reduce the impact, and this matter will not spread out to tarnish the reputation of the store. The old man with the surname Yu was extremely satisfied, after all, what precious materials could a cultivator at the 9th level of Qi Refining possess?

  "Bang!"

  As soon as the old man's words fell, Xia Qi had already taken out a part of the iron-armored bull corpse from a storage bag. The thick skin and snow-white skeleton shocked the old man!

  "This... This is the hide and skeleton of an Iron Armored Bison!" The old man with the surname Yu was shocked in his heart, and looked at Xia Qi with some alarm.

  Iron-armored fierce bull, and judging from its skeleton, it's already in the mature stage, at least mid-to-late second-order demonic beast, equivalent to mid-to-late foundation establishment period. Even a cultivator in the foundation establishment period wouldn't dare guarantee they could match it, let alone kill it. How did Xia Qi get his hands on the materials for this iron-armored fierce bull?

  "It must be the Ironclad Bull's hide, cut down through human collaboration. And isn't this material in front of me just a small part of it?" The old man surnamed Yu guessed immediately, feeling both relieved and regretful. After all, if it were complete Ironclad Bull materials, that would be invaluable. Even if he bought them at double the price, he could still get a lot of benefits from handing them over!
