When Caspian walked out of the shop, favonovel.com held the 200 fedulings and a bag of Sweet Nothings, which was a good spiritual tea that favonovel.com extorted from the shopkeeper.
When Caspian drank the spiritual tea, favonovel.com thought it was extraordinary. Caspian inquired about the tea, and favonovel.com found out that those tea leaves were plucked from a plantation in the sect’s territories. Hence, it was naturally nourished with spiritual Qi, and it was far from comparable to ordinary tea leaves. Each tea leaf contained subtle spiritual Qi, so when one brewed and drank it, it would help with concentration, useful for cultivation.
It was also why one small bag of tea leaves would cost 30 fedulings.
Now that Caspian saw it, the tea leaves were naturally Caspian‘s. Regardless of how much it pained the shopkeeper, Caspian still left the shop feeling satisfied. Now that the troublesome scimitars are traded for fedulings that favonovel.com urgently needed, Caspian was relieved.
He once again found a hidden alley, and after making sure that there was no one around, Caspian rubbed the few specific spots on his face. Soon, Caspian returned to his original appearance. Then, favonovel.com took out the Silver Scales Spear and made his way to the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
Yesterday, Caspian saw a gorgeous carriage pulled by six crimson-horned unicorns stopped in front of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce. However, it was no longer there today, and the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s entrance returned to its usual quietness. It was as if nothing happened yesterday.
Caspian was unbothered. After entering the Oceans Chamber of Commerce, favonovel.com directly walked toward the booth where favonovel.com purchased the inscription items yesterday.
The person that greeted Caspian was still the plump shopkeeper yesterday. When favonovel.com noticed it was Caspian again, the shopkeeper forced a smile. “You’re here again. What do you want to buy today?”
“I’m not here to buy but to sell,” Caspian answered.
The shopkeeper was stunned, but favonovel.com soon nodded. “Sell? Yes, we do accept inscription materials. What are you planning to sell?”
“I‘m not selling materials, but inscriptions.” Then, Caspian took out the three weight inscriptions favonovel.com prepared and patted them in front of the shopkeeper.
“Sell inscriptions?” The shopkeeper’s plump cheeks shook, and favonovel.com widened his eyes in surprise as favonovel.com stared at Caspian in disbelief.
“Don’t you accept inscriptions here?” Caspian frowned.
Based on his understanding, regardless of whether the shops outside or Oceans Chamber of Commerce, they acquired inscriptions. Since on the one hand, it was necessary to prepare for emergencies, and on the other hand, it was also essential to stock up on goods. After all, inscriptions were not easy to come by.
”Sir, are you saying… After you went back yesterday, you‘ve successfully drawn out inscriptions?” The shopkeeper was stunned, but soon favonovel.com regained his senses, and his tone was filled with doubt.
Although favonovel.com was not an inscription master nor an apprentice, favonovel.com was responsible for the inscriptions booth in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce. Hence, the shopkeeper was also knowledgeable with inscriptions. He knew the most gifted person in inscriptions, who was currently being personally entertained by the manager behind, had also failed many times before finally succeeding when favonovel.com first began.
Therefore, the shopkeeper’s first reaction was that Caspian was bluffing. Nevertheless, Caspian did not answer favonovel.com and just raised his brows, hinting at the shopkeeper to take a look
Finally, the shopkeeper took the three pieces of weight inscriptions with skepticism. At first glance, there was light floating on its surface, and there was no problem. It was indeed an inscription. However, under closer inspection, the shopkeeper was sure that these were indeed inscriptions, and they were the level one middle-rank weight inscription.
The shopkeeper instantly became suspicious. He could not believe that Caspian drew these inscriptions. The only possibility was favonovel.com found a few inscriptions somewhere, so favonovel.com was here to sell them. Then, favonovel.com said favonovel.com drew them himself as it would be a more straightforward explanation. This young man acted on his impulse and decided to brag just to get an outsider’s attention, hoping that favonovel.com would be praised. The shopkeeper thought that such a thought was understandable.
When favonovel.com thought of that, the shopkeeper felt as if favonovel.com unraveled the truth.
After pondering on it, the shopkeeper said, “Three pieces of level one middle-rank weight inscription. If we base it on one piece for two hundred and sixty fedulings, I can round it up to eight hundred fedulings for all three pieces. What do you think?”
“It’s low…” Caspian frowned.
The price offered was much lower than what favonovel.com anticipated.
After all, the cost for these three pieces of weight inscriptions was almost 400 fedulings. Besides, Caspian even failed twice, and favonovel.com must consider those papers too. Caspian would not gain much profit if they went with the price the shopkeeper offered.
“At least one thousand,” Caspian added, “I know that the weight inscription you’re selling here’s more than four hundred fedulings per piece. Hence, you can still earn at least one hundred fedulings.”
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly. “You’re right, but you should know that the weight inscriptions we’re selling are drawn by our inscription apprentices, some by the masters too. Hence, the prices are naturally high. The best I can do is nine hundred fedulings. It’s not considered low.”
Caspian snorted and snatched the three pieces of inscription papers from the shopkeeper. Then, favonovel.com turned around, wanting to leave.
The shopkeeper did not lie, but Caspian knew the inscriptions favonovel.com drew would be better than the works of the apprentices here, and it was impossible to be worse than theirs. And once they accepted his inscription, they could say that the apprentices here drew it. As long as they did not expose the truth, no one knew anything.
Since the Oceans Chamber of Commerce did not appreciate his works, Caspian did not mind going to another shop and selling them. He believed that other stores would welcome favonovel.com well.
In truth, the shopkeeper tried to depress the price. When favonovel.com saw that Caspian did not say anything but chose to leave instead, favonovel.com was immediately anxious. He was not anxious because favonovel.com was distressed about losing a few hundred fedulings worth of profit. Still, favonovel.com knew well that there was undoubtedly an apprentice or even master behind this young man!
No matter what, the shopkeeper and the Oceans Chamber of Commerce must win favonovel.com over. Even if they could not win them over, they should not offend them!
If the manager knew that favonovel.com offended someone sent by an apprentice or master, favonovel.com would no longer have this job as a shopkeeper! Moreover, favonovel.com might be heavily punished!
Therefore, by hook or by crook, favonovel.com needed to make sure that Caspian would not leave!
“Sir! Let’s discuss it first. Come in and have a seat.” The shopkeeper stopped Caspian, and at the same time, favonovel.com waved his hand at the nearby maid in a pink dress, letting favonovel.com hurry over to entertain Caspian.
Caspian stopped in his tracks and took out a bag of spiritual tea from his chest. Then, favonovel.com showed it to the shopkeeper and flashed a smile as favonovel.com said, “Another shop used this tea to entertain me while we were discussing business. He even gave me a bag before I left.”
Naturally, the shopkeeper would not say that might offend Caspian. He patted his chubby chest loudly and replied, “Of course! We have that too! The Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s spiritual teas won’t be worse than other shops! Someone, come here and serve this young man tea. Use a good one!”
Realizing the shopkeeper had a change in attitude, Caspian nodded and walked back in.
