The shopkeeper was a Great cultivator. Upon seeing such a piece of Snake Skin, he asked Gu Shi Yi with some surprise,
"Did you kill this snake?"
Gu Shi Yi shook his head with a grin,
"How could a humble person like me have such ability? It was killed by our master. Our master is in a hurry to go back to the mountains to look for more herbs, so he ordered me to sell it in the largest shop in the city. I saw that your shop is the biggest and most luxurious in the city, so I came in to let the shopkeeper take a look…"
As the saying goes, you can never go wrong with flattery. Hearing his praise, the shopkeeper's expressionless face softened with a hint of a smile, nodding as he said,
"You do have some discernment!"
