Calming his heart Xing Chen decided to suppress his such desire as much as possible.
Just as he was thinking they already arrived at the second floor of the building.
Several workers saw them, greeted hastily, but Qi Youmei waved her hands and let them continue their work.
So they again began to introduce treasures to the customers.
"Younger brother Chen, tell me what do you need? I'll pack it for you." Qi Youmei looked back at him said as she walked towards the glass tables and shelves.
Xing Chen followed her, and unlike before his expression are much better and returned to his calm and indifferent self.
"Sister youmei, I truly want to buy several things for use but I must tell you in advance that I'll buy them with money and you can't give me anything free of charge, otherwise I rather don't buy anything." Xing Chen said to her in a serious tone.
"You!..., I said Xing Chen is something wrong with your brain, if someone else is in your place, he'll be happy enough to fly if he gets even a little advantage from our shop, and on the other hand it's you even if we are willing to give you something for free, you are not willing to accept without paying for it."
Qi Youmei couldn't help but look at him incredulously for a while and pointed her delicate finger on his face and shouted in a little angry tone.
Other customers and workers also looked towards them as they heard Qi Youmei shouting and saw her pointing her finger on Xing Chen Angrily.
When she felt that other people are looking at her shockingly expression even some people looking at her in a strange way, she repressed her irritation and reculantly returned to her indifferent attitude.
In fact, she never had been angry and everyone in the shop knows even the customers, that she is a gentle and quiet lady and today in their eyes her gentle and calm temperament destroyed.
Xing Chen also looked at others expression smiled helplessly and looked at her awkwardly.
"Sister Youmei, try to understand me like I said before I already took so many advantages and it's impossible for me to do this again, moreover it's different from our agreement before, I didn't refuse the benefits before, but now I am buying things from your shop like your regular customers so lets forgot what happened before and you deal me like you used to deal with." Xing Chen shrugged his shoulders and said in a helpless tone.
"Ok, then as you wish! Humph!" She replied disgruntly.
"Ok sister doesn't be angry anymore, I'm really sorry." Xing Chen once again asked for mercy as he saw others are watching them secretly.
Qi Youmei also swept her eyes and again looked at him and said: "Um, I'll take care of you later, first tell me what do you need?"
"Cough, cough!, well I need several types of pills and some spiritual herbs and some ordinary Mortal Rank metal ores."
"Oh, so many things, it's ok for pills but why do you need spiritual herbs/medicines and metal ores?" She was surprised first and then asked confusingly.
Obviously, it's ok for pills, after all, every cultivator demands numerous pills of different kinds for cultivation as well as different purposes.
But she could not understand why does he need spirit herbs and metal ores.
After all for ordinary cultivators, these things are useless and only alchemist or weapon refiners can display their perfect use and maximize the benefits by refining spirit herbs into pills and metal ores into weapons.
Xing Chen's this action truly confused her as she only saw him selling these kinds of things not buying and today why does he need these type of things?
'Is he planning to become an alchemist or a weapon refiner?'
She asked herself in her heart.
But soon she shook her head and denied her assumptions, 'No, no, that's impossible right?'
Dispelling her thoughts she looked at him silently and asked: "Why do you need spirit herbs and metal ores? Are you intending to become an alchemist or a weapon refiner?"
Xing Chen already guessed that she'll ask this kind of question before coming to shop, so he already formulated a good answer.
So he replied her calmly without changing his facial expression, The Spirit Herbs/Medicines that I want to buy is truly for to learn alchemy as for metal ores I learned a body refining technique which requires several kinds of metal ores and absorbs their metal qi in the body to strengthen the body."
"Unexpectedly! you truly buying the spirit herbs for alchemy! But what kind of technique is this that needs to absorb the metal qi within the body directly?"
Qi Youmei truly startled for a while as she learned that he really want herbs for alchemy and also astonished at the fact that he needs metal ore for refining them himself instead to refine it into a weapon.
"Well that technique is in our family, passed from generation to generation and created by a clan predecessor long ago." Xing Chen said.
What he said is really true in their Xing Clans Scripture Building there truly has that kind of body refining technique which is created by their clan ancestors, and he accidentally read it so that's why he dares to say confidently, but he didn't cultivated that kind of body refining art.
As for whether she believes or not, it has nothing to do with him, moreover, he is sure she won't investigate it seriously.
"Well, it's the first time I listened to such an interesting technique, your Xing Clan predecessor is truly genius!" She showed an amazed expression and said in an admiring tone.
"So tell me what kind of pills and spirit herbs/medicines or metal ore you need?"
"Well, I need ten bottles of Body Tempering pills, ten bottles of Qj Gathering Pills, and ten bottles of Pure Vital pills"
"As for spirit herbs/medicines, I need ten 10 years old Ginseng, ten Spirit Mushrooms, a hundred stalks of budding flower grass"
"Lastly for metal ores I need Spirit bronze 10 kilograms, Spirit Silver 10 kilogram, Scarlet ling metal ore 1 kilogram, that's all for now."
Xing Chen named all the things he needed in one breath.
"Oh, that's all you need?" Qi Youmei inquired to confirm.
"Yep, that's all for the time being."
"Ok, then let me count, Ten bottles of Body Tempering pills a total of hundred gold coins, ten bottles of Qi Gathering pills a total of three hundred gold coins, ten bottles of Pure Vital pills a total of two hundred gold coins. The collective amount of these pills is Six a hundred gold coins in total."
"These spirit medicines, ten- 10-year-old ginseng each is Ten gold coin and ten is total of hundred gold coins, ten Spirit mushrooms a total of two hundred gold coins and a hundred stalks of Budding flower grass a total of hundred gold coins, and the total amount of these spirit medicines is Four a hundred gold coins."
"Lastly, these three kinds of metal ores, ten kilograms of Spirit Bronze ore for each kilogram is twenty good coins and a total of two hundred gold coins, Spirit Silver ore each kilogram for fifty gold coins and a total of five hundred gold coins for ten kilograms and Scarlet long metal ore a kilogram for five hundred gold coins. Total for One thousand and two hundred gold coins."
So the total amount of your all purchased items are Two thousand and Two hundred gold coins(2200 gold coins). Removing the two hundred gold coins you need to give two thousand gold coins only."
After calculating the total worth of several items Qi youmei looked at his face expressionlessly and said to Xing Chen in professional manners.
Obviously, she is still a bit angry with his continues decline in taking advantage.
"Also Don't look at me with that look I know you don't want anything free and I did according to your meaning, but that upper amount of two hundred gold coins is calculated as a discount our Ding Treasure Shop give to you." She said in a faint tone as she frowned and saw him hesitating because she wipes off the 200 gold coins.
"Well, Thanks Sister Youmei for discount." Xing Chen said embarrassingly as he saw her faint look.
He knows that because he declined her so many times again and again and if he declines again she'll truly be angry with him and which he doesn't want to see, and it's already embarrassing enough, so he readily accepted her offer.
