Chapter 49 Despicable Treacherous Merchant

The streets in the city are bustling, and pedestrians are full of staggering, and many merchants walk on the street in the quiet morning. The stall owners on the roadside stalls were selling their own, and the steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks were all available, and the fragrance of soy milk began to float in the air of the street.

Lin Yi walked on Liaocheng Street, because he had filled Run'an's roast chicken in his stomach before, and he didn't care about the fragrant exquisite breakfast.

He calmly watched the store opening, and saw the arrogant shopkeeper drive away the beggars who slept on the street in front of his store last night, saying disdainfully. Their eyes at the beggars were very cold, as if those beggars were centuries different from their grades.

It is not as good as chicken, duck, fish and meat, pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, only inferior and mourning.

Many stores turned their heads and looked at Lin Yi walking on the street, just like looking at the beggars. Lin Yi pretended to be calm and disapprove. He looks more depressed and embarrassed than the beggars at this moment, and he is now a veritable young camel.

"What's the use of being here at a young age?" The shopkeepers said coldly that they wanted to listen to Lin Yi in the past, so Lin Yi could only laugh at himself.

He doesn't have to care about these with mortals in the world. After all, what he has to do now is to find a pawnshop, exchange the things for some silver in the storage bag, and buy a neat clothes to put on by the way. Otherwise, it is not polite and sincere enough to meet the payers in the streets with such an unbearable appearance.

Turning into the city avenue, Lin Yi turned the street corner and found a pawnshop, which he was optimistic about when he toured the street yesterday. He looked at the pawn's open door, paused slightly, took out a few pills from the storage bag with his right hand, and then walked straight in.

The pawnkeeper is an old man. He can't say that he has white hair, but he also has half long hair as white as winter snow. His face was gloomy, with a moustache at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were small and shrewd, with a touch of cunning and treachery of commercial instinct. When the shopkeeper saw Lin Yi coming in, he looked at him disdainfully and said casually, "What do you want to change when you come to my pawn shop?" This cabinet declares in advance that it will not collect shabby iron copper pots or straw quilts in the pawnshop. If there is nothing good, don't take it out.

Lin Yi stared at him fiercely, with a trace of anger in his deep eyes, and the other party was obviously looking down on people. He didn't even want to talk to such a person any more. He put the elixir he had already prepared on the counter, regardless of the shopkeeper's face. Lin Yi directly said coldly, "I exchanged this can of elixir for silver!"

"Hmm?" The shopkeeper snorted softly and couldn't help but change his face after seeing the other party take out a small jar. Hearing that the other party was exchanging elixir for silver, his curiosity made him directly want to take over the elixir to check, but Lin Yi was not a good-looking person. Others respect him and return it with courtesy, but since the shopkeeper has already despised him, he naturally looks back at the other party more fiercely.

So, Lin Yi pressed the elixir with his hand before reaching out to the shopkeeper, and said coldly, "If the price doesn't suit my heart, I won't change this elixir!"

The shopkeeper obviously has never met such a proud customer, and such a depressed customer. He was stunned and said unhappily, "As long as the things are good, this cabinet will naturally have a reasonable price with you, but if you don't check it for me, how can I know the value of this elixir?"

Lin Yi heard the other party's words, so he slowly let go of his hand and let the small bottle of elixir be held in the shopkeeper's hand to check.

The jar is made of jade, because jade has a natural elixir effect, which can prevent the loss of elixirs and preserve the effect of elixirs for a long time. For practitioners, ordinary jade is not a precious material. After all, as long as it comes to a certain cultivation, it is extremely simple to refine bottles and cans of this material.

The shopkeeper held this small jar with emerald color, and his hands trembled slightly.

He knew that there were practitioners in the secular world, and there were practitioners behind the empire to support the kingship, but he could not imagine that the depressed camel teenager in front of him was a practitioner. It doesn't matter who the other party is, but the shopkeeper's pawn has been a pawn for decades. No, he was excited when he looked at the flawless jade bottle in front of him.

Even if you don't measure the elixir in the jar, the value of this jade jar in the secular world is at least 100 taels of silver.

Lin Yi saw that the other party was so cautious and sneered in his heart. Such an ordinary jade jar could be so fascinated that the other party could imagine that the values of the secular world were indeed not good. As a result, practitioners are really unattractive to the world.

Long life is the purpose of practitioners, and strength is the purpose of Lin Yi. Only by becoming stronger and stronger can he make himself superior, otherwise others can pinch you to death at will. Lin Yi does not want to be a mediocre person who is pinched to death, so he wants to make himself go against the sky and become a respected person to pinch others.

"What on earth, are you right or wrong?" Lin Yi said impatiently.

"When...naturally..." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

He smelled the elixir in the jade with his nose and found that it exuded a strong atmosphere of heaven and earth. The spirit of heaven and earth in the eyes of practitioners can be called aura in the eyes of mortals. The shopkeeper's heart was already in full bloom when he heard such a strong aura. He couldn't help thinking about what panacea he had met and was excited.

"Hmm... There are six of this elixir, and I bought it for 20 taels of silver, a total of 120 taels of silver. What do you think? The shopkeeper stroked the beard tail that spread out of his lips and didn't care, but how could he know that the camel in front of him was so fooled?

For a modern person, although Lin Yi was a crazy artistic youth before, he was always very ** for small calculations on commercial interests. Besides, isn't the shopkeeper's various performances a guilty heart?

Pretating to disapprove is not just to confuse customers. Playing these little tricks in front of Lin Yi, the shopkeeper's behavior is undoubtedly humiliating himself. Therefore, Lin Yi smiled softly and reached out to take back the jade bottle. Since the other party does not have the sincerity of the pawn, there is naturally no need for him to continue to negotiate. However, at the moment when Lin Yi stretched out his hand, the shopkeeper immediately pressed the jade jar on the counter and said sadly, "Thirty taels, I can't add any more!"

"One hundred taels, one penn less will not be changed." Lin Yi said directly without looking at the shopkeeper.

"One hundred taels?" The shopkeeper pretended to be surprised. He stared and continued, "You son, do you know how much a hundred taels is? Even ten taels of silver is enough for you... I have lived for a year." It seemed that the other party was not simple. The shopkeeper swallowed the word beggar back to his heart, but his eyes were still contemptuous.

"If you don't change it, you can exchange the elixir with me. In Shuo Da Liao City, there will be another pawn to exchange it with me." Lin Yi said that he didn't want to argue with him anymore.

"Oh, that's all. Your child is strong, just a hundred taels!" The shopkeeper couldn't resist the other party's stubbornness and was a little sad. Then he took out six silver tickets with the imprint of the empire from the wooden drawer and handed them to Lin Yi, full of unwillingness.

The treacherous face was still very reluctant. Lin Yi took the silver ticket and knew that the other party was just a mystery. He ignored the silver ticket and strode away from the street.

"The shopkeeper, this is a whole 600 taels. Is this thing really so valuable?" The bookkeeper held a pen and ink in his hand and said tremblingly while memoring the numbers.

"Naturally, it's more than that even this jade jar containing elixir is worth more than 100 taels of silver, not to mention the things inside, but it is not so easy to accept so much silver from my pawnshop." Through the cracks in the red window, the shopkeeper witnessed the street where Lin Yi was about to disappear, and a slightly imperceptible cunning light flashed in his eyes.

"The shopkeeper's...?" Mr. Book turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper in surprise. Before he finished asking, he laughed secretly, because he saw everything from the cunning light in the shopkeeper's eyes.
