These old human cultivators in the Sacred City would not be looked down upon. Because the shop assistants already knew who had money and who didn't. Du Feng was the only one he had misjudged today. It was mainly because it was his first day here, so everyone didn't know him well.
Du Feng was already used to these words. It wasn't the first time he was treated as a pauper, let alone a tycoon. Since your shop doesn't welcome me, I'll just go to another one. It's not worth arguing about. He had come to the God Realm from the Lower Realm and became a God Emperor, so he could accept such things.
But sometimes, even if you could accept it, it didn't mean others could. Du Feng left, but the shop assistants hated him out of jealousy. Not only did they hate him, but they also spread the news to their peers. They said that there was a new human cultivator who didn't know the rules, so they didn't want to sell to him.
As a result, when Du Feng went to the next bookstore, he found that the shop assistants there were also sneering at him. Their attitude was quite bad.
Ah, what's going on? According to the general theory, businesses mainly focused on making money. As long as the customers had money, they wouldn't give them a bad attitude. The previous bookstore could be said to be a misunderstanding, but what was going on with this one? Why did they treat him like an enemy from many years ago?
This was because Du Feng didn't understand the situation in the Sacred City, because the shops in the Sacred City never lacked customers, especially big shops like this. There were so many people in the diplomatic suburb who wanted to enter the Sacred City to buy things, especially the higher-grade items. They had to ask someone to buy them, and the difference would be made by others. So they really didn't care if they didn't make money. They just wanted to deliberately cause trouble.
Then, Du Feng went to the third, fourth, and fifth bookstores, and they all behaved the same way. No matter how good his temper was, he lost his patience. You guys are deliberately causing trouble, right? I won't ask anymore, and I won't buy anymore.
Walking on the road, he smiled and suddenly thought of a place to go. Yes, it was that old man's Sage Gathering Bookstore. The old man was an independent person and didn't work with others in the shop. Although the items were a little miscellaneous, it was still not a problem to buy a few cultivation technique books for Chen Tianlei.
"Young man, you're back. I knew you would come back."
As soon as Du Feng walked to the door, the bookstore owner was already waiting for him. He felt a little embarrassed, as though he had no other choice but to come back.
"Don't be sad. The people here are just snobs. When you have money and power, they will naturally look at you differently."
Seeing that Du Feng was disappointed, the bookstore owner thought that he was despised because he had too little money. This kind of thing happened quite often. Basically, young people from outside, especially human cultivators like Du Feng, would be despised by those big shops from time to time.
In fact, Du Feng wasn't short of money, but because no one was willing to sell him anything. Of course, he did not explain at this time. He just lowered his head and walked into the Virtuous Gathering Study House.
"I'm sorry to disturb you again. I want to choose a few cultivation technique books for my friend."
Du Feng didn't buy them for himself first, but for Chen Tianlei. Chen Tianlei's characteristics were his great strength and he was good at using thunder and lightning. But using thunder and lightning also had to be paid attention to. It didn't mean that randomly smashing thunder balls was enough. The power of randomly smashing thunder balls wasn't small, but if one knew how to use them properly, they could play a greater role.
"Thunder-attribute cultivation technique, right? I'll look for it for you."
Although the bookstore owner liked to nag, he was still very serious when doing things. After listening to Du Feng describe Chen Tianlei's characteristics in detail, he began to rummage through the shelves. He really did summon a thunder-attribute cultivation technique book. He didn't know how long this book had been there, but it had already fallen to pieces.
Aiya, an antique!
Du Feng was particularly sensitive to antique books because he had seen one before, and it was a book that had been bitten off by a bookworm. It was all thanks to that book that he was able to learn the Boundless Sword Art. This kind of book, no matter how high or low it was, would often have unexpected effects. For example, he learned the Boundless Sword Art when he was at the World King realm. As long as he studied hard, he could use it when he was at the God Emperor realm. If he continued to improve, he could still use it when he was at the God Emperor realm.
"This book won't do. It's too broken."
Du Feng was just about to say that he would take it to have a look, but the bookstore owner took it back.
"Wait, let me have a look."
Du Feng quickly stopped him. It would be a pity if he couldn't buy this book. Even if Chen Tianlei couldn't practice it, he could still try to learn it. This was because this kind of antique book usually required a very high perception to learn.
"You want it? This book isn't cheap. I spent a lot of money to buy it in the past, and I haven't been able to sell it for a long time."
Well, the bookstore owner recovered his swindling function and began to tell Du Feng how difficult it was for him to obtain this book. How much was it worth back then? Because it had been stored for so many years, plus the interest costs, it should be worth that much. In short, the core idea was to constantly raise the price through swindling.
"Your book has been stored for so long, so it's definitely not easy to sell. If I don't buy it, I reckon no one will want it. If you continue to store it, you'll lose more. "
"Look, it's all broken. Will there be any damage? If you buy a cultivation technique book with incomplete content, you'll lose a lot. "
Who was Du Feng? He had swindled people from the lower realm to the Heaven Realm, and then from the Heaven Realm to the God Realm. How could he be easily fooled by an old man? Therefore, with a series of swindles, the bookstore owner began to doubt his life.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I'll sell it to you at the original price. I won't make a profit or lose anything. If you continue, I'll throw this book away."
After listening to Du Feng's swindling, the bookstore owner felt that his antique book was a burden. It seemed that the longer it was stored, the more he would lose. It was better to throw it away now. Since someone was willing to buy it, he would sell it at the original price. Although he didn't earn any interest, he would just treat it as if he didn't lose anything.
"Boss, you really have good taste. Just sell it to me."
Du Feng paid the money proudly and took the antique book. He casually flipped a few pages before putting it into the small world of the necklace. Chen Tianlei was in the small world of the necklace. When he arrived, he took a look.
"Brother Du, I don't understand this!"
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Du Feng knew that Chen Tianlei definitely couldn't understand it. This book was written in seal script, and Chen Tianlei couldn't understand it. Moreover, the content inside was quite complicated and could be said to be obscure and difficult to understand. Even reading it was difficult, and understanding it required a high level of comprehension.
