Chapter 50 asks for far too much.
"Purchase over 1,000 items from your shop and receive a first-grade superior pill. Purchase over 5,000 items and receive a second-grade superior pill. Quantities are limited, while supplies last."
The shopkeeper's eyes gleamed as he calculated the potential profits.
First, if you lose twenty spirit stones, others may not necessarily be grateful to you; they will only feel that you still made a lot of money. But giving gifts is different. When you receive something in kind, you feel comforted.
Secondly, customers can buy things anytime, but getting a top-grade pill for free is definitely worth it.
Third, once the news gets out, people will definitely come to investigate, which can stimulate consumption.
Fourth, it can indirectly suppress competitors. He gives away top-grade pills, and competitors can only buy them.
Fifth, the store's reputation will improve, and more people will come to buy things in the future.
The shopkeeper silently analyzed the benefits he would gain and immediately made the decision.
“Alright, as long as you provide me with five hundred first-grade high-quality pills and three hundred second-grade high-quality pills, the price will be as you said, twenty-two and one hundred and one hundred respectively.”
Tu Shan neither agreed nor disagreed, but only asked, "What about the six robes?"
"I'll make the decision and give you an 80% discount. The original price was 10,500 low-grade spirit stones, but now it's 8,400 spirit stones."
Tu Shan shook his index finger and uttered two words.
"Six thousand!"
The shopkeeper immediately stood up: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Alright, just pretend I didn't say anything. I originally wanted to discuss a business deal with you, but it seems we're not meant to be!"
Tu Shan gently patted her robes and stood up.
The shopkeeper immediately stopped him with a smile: "Wait a minute, young friend, what business would you like to discuss?"
He realized that this girl, though seemingly harmless, was actually incredibly shrewd and far more intelligent than him.
The most important thing for a person is to know themselves.
There will always be someone better than him in this world. When you encounter such a person, you must do everything you can to cling to their coattails before a better life will beckon to you.
Tu Shan sneered, "Heh, trying to get something for nothing?"
I don't understand what "freebie" means, but I can roughly guess.
The shopkeeper hurriedly denied it: "No, no, young friend, you've misunderstood. I just want to cooperate with you."
"Let's take things one step at a time. Let's start by dealing with the robes."
The shopkeeper, looking pained, agreed, "Fine, I'll do it your way, okay?"
Tu Shan smiled and said, "Let's resolve these two issues first, then we can discuss the deal."
"Alright, that's 44,000 low-grade spirit stones in total. Adding the 1,840 from the demon beast, that makes 45,800 spirit stones. The robe costs 6,000, and I still need to give you more..."
Tu Shan curled her lips: "Forty thousand low-grade spirit stones, surely the shopkeeper wouldn't be so stingy as to not even part with two hundred?"
"Fine!"
"We've already paid the lion's share, why bother with this little bit more?" the shopkeeper nodded.
Tu Shan smiled and took out eight bowls and placed them on the table.
"Please check it."
The shopkeeper's shrewd little eyes widened to the size of ping-pong balls.
"You, you, what's wrong with you? How can you store pills like this?"
Tu Shan waved his hand dismissively, "Oh, there aren't that many jade bottles."
The shopkeeper glared at her, took out the communication jade, and ordered someone to fetch the jade bottle.
He then took out another storage ring and placed it on the table.
"Count them!"
Tu Shan didn't stand on ceremony; he scanned the area with his divine sense to confirm the number.
He grinned and carefully put the 40,000 low-grade spirit stones and six magic robes into his best friend's space.
The shopkeeper noticed Tu Shan's good mood and sighed inwardly, "He's still a child after all. No matter how composed he is, he still has a childlike side."
"Now you can tell me, what deal do you want to discuss with me?"
Tu Shan pondered for a while.
Originally, the consideration was whether to give the money in one lump sum or in the next payment. The shopkeeper was straightforward and had already made up his mind.
"The shopkeeper doesn't want the promotion to only be done once, does he?"
"Of course!"
“I can provide you with high-quality pills for the event in the long term, but I have one condition: you have to give me 20% of the net profit during the event.”
Tu Shan held up two fingers, staring at the shopkeeper's shrewd little eyes.
The shopkeeper immediately stood up and denied it, saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Tu Shan didn't say anything, but just smiled at the shopkeeper.
"Ahem, well, this time is different!"
The shopkeeper also recalled how he had strongly opposed the previous two times but eventually compromised, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, it was only for a moment, and his expression instantly returned to seriousness.
"Young friend, you're asking for far too much; I can't afford it!"
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, my transactions won't let you down. You can participate in this promotion every three months, and I guarantee you'll make a fortune."
The shopkeeper asked in confusion, "Why three months?"
Tu Shan patiently explained, "First, scarcity; second, giving our customers time to earn spirit stones; third, giving customers time to spend their pills; and fourth, I also need to accumulate high-grade pills. You don't think my senior sister would give so many at once, do you? You think she's giving them candy!"
The shopkeeper thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed true.
"But 20% is really too much!"
"Never mind then, I'm not really interested in selling pills anyway, and I don't need spirit stones for the time being. Alright, I'm leaving!"
The shopkeeper stood up to stop him, then sighed deeply: "Alright, whatever you say!"
Tu Shan smiled and said, "Then let's sign the contract!"
After the two signed the contract, Tu Shan put it away and took out eight bowls again.
The shopkeeper stared at the wooden bowl, numb with indifference.
Tu Shan laughed and said, "Give me a mid-grade spirit stone!"
The shopkeeper took out forty-four mid-grade spirit stones from his storage ring.
Tu Shan laughed so hard his eyes disappeared, his mouth stretching to his ears: "Give me two communication jades, one specifically for contacting you."
The shopkeeper had already behaved himself and took out two communication jades and a purple token.
"This purple-grade token is a VIP token of our Treasure Pavilion. You can enjoy a 20% discount on anything you buy at the Treasure Pavilion."
Tu Shan took the items without saying or asking any questions, then got up and left.
After walking a distance, they found a medium-sized inn to stay in, which cost two hundred low-grade spirit stones per night.
Now that she has spirit stones, she doesn't want to mistreat herself.
After finishing tidying up, I tried to call Ji Se, but the call didn't go through.
"Mimi, what's wrong with Qianqian?"
She's currently in a fight and can't make it in time!
"What? What happened?"
[It's just a friendly sparring match between sects, it's fine, her master is watching.]
"Okay, you can finish her up and connect with me. I'm going to take a nap."
【okay! 】
Exit of the secret realm.
Ji Se and Ouyang Hua of the Wuji Sect are currently engaged in combat.
This story begins two hours ago.
After Ji Se was spat out, he immediately looked for Tu Shan.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, he left first and did not linger his gaze there, but his master still noticed.
"what happened?"
"My disciple's savior has left!"
Gise briefly explained the situation at the time, and Jian Wu nodded.
"I've got it!"
"Master, I want to repay your life-saving grace myself!"
"Okay, you decide what to do."
Jian Wu waited for his disciples to finish taking inventory before leading them away.
This Qi Refining stage secret realm originally didn't need him, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, to lead the team, but since this was his disciple's first time out for training, it was better to keep an eye on things.
The four super sects of the Misty Continent are: Tianyi Sword Sect, Lingyun Sect, Wuji Sect, and Misty Immortal Sect.
Just as the Misty Immortal Sect finished their inventory and were about to depart, they were stopped by the Wuji Sect.
