Trying to control his anger, Qin Yi shook his head. He wasn't a fool. He wouldn't let this guy have the final say.
"Shopkeeper, isn't your way of doing business a little too exaggerated? How can something worth ten thousand superior-grade spirit stones become six thousand in your hands? "
The shopkeeper wasn't angry. He smiled faintly. "This is the market here. If you don't want to pay, I won't force you. Let's go ask around. "
Qin Yi wasn't convinced. He went to the shops nearby, including the biggest grocery store. This was indeed the market.
A night's stay was ten thousand superior-grade spirit stones, but an Extraordinary Upper grade weapon was only six thousand.
In other words, an Extraordinary Upper grade weapon wasn't even enough for a night's stay here. This made Qin Yi a little depressed.
Fortunately, he had a lot of Extraordinary Upper grade weapons in his storage ring. He had fought all over the Smoky Luo Region, killed a large number of people, and picked up a lot of equipment.
He had no choice but to sort out some of them.
He returned to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper chuckled. "Sir, you should know that I'm the more honest one, right?"
"Haha, are there honest people in this place?" Qin Yi smiled faintly.
The shopkeeper wasn't angry. He smiled. "Honest people don't do business. Businessmen naturally have their own rules. Sir, are you going to exchange for something? Or what? "
Qin Yi packed ten Extraordinary Upper grade weapons into a bag and put it on the counter. "Have a look."
There were two or three Extraordinary Upper grade weapons among the Extraordinary Upper grade weapons.
The shopkeeper glanced at them and smiled. "I didn't expect you to be so rich. Out of these ten items, two of them were of the highest quality. Their prices could be doubled. How about this? I'll give you eighty thousand Extraordinary Upper grade spirit stones. What do you think? "
Qin Yi said, "Is it enough for accommodation and travel expenses?"
"A ticket to the Five Cauldrons is fifty thousand Extraordinary Upper grade spirit stones. A four-night stay would cost 40,000 yuan. Even if you don't eat or drink, you're still short of ten thousand. Forget it, you're a big customer today. I'll let you have some profit. I'll accept this eighty thousand, and I'll pay for your accommodation and boat tickets. "
"What does the ticket have to do with you?" Qin Yi was stunned.
"Hehe, those who do business here have to keep in touch with each other. If he stayed here alone, he would die very quickly. So, you don't have to worry about the ticket, leave it to me. "
Qin Yi stared at the shopkeeper for a while, then pushed the weapons in front of the shopkeeper. It meant a deal.
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Good, you're straightforward! It was rare for a young man to be so straightforward. To show my sincerity, this shopkeeper will give you an additional piece of information. The ship headed for the Five Cauldron faction was passing by this place. Along the way, it had already picked up some guests. There might be other guests boarding the ship along the way. Therefore, if you are rich, it is best to pretend to be poor. If you're from the Yan Luo Region, you'd better pretend that you're not. Don't ask me why. I won't say anything that I shouldn't say. "
Even if he didn't explain, Qin Yi would still be able to understand.
On a passenger ship, no one knew each other. A person's heart was hard to fathom. Those who pretended to be rich would only bring disaster upon themselves. As for the Yan Luo Region, he knew it even better. It was a land of exiles, marked with original sins. If he claimed to be from the Yan Luo Region, he would be born inferior.
Qin Yi nodded silently, accepting the shopkeeper's advice.
"Alright, please come in. The inn is a little shabby, and the guest rooms are not top-notch. But in a place like this, you're already lucky to have a place like this. I'm not afraid to tell you that eight or ten people will die every time a passenger ship disembarks from this place. "
Qin Yi asked curiously, "Are there really so many people who left the Yan Luo Region?"
"Hehe, definitely more than you can imagine. However, you might not be able to see them until it's time to board the ship. "
"Why is that?" Qin Yi asked.
The shopkeeper said with a strange smile, "These questions are not secrets. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll answer them for free. Most of the cultivators who come here are from the Yan Luo Region. Some are from famous sects, and some are rogue cultivators. Those who come from big forces are mostly hiding from their companions. If they leave without saying goodbye, they will be regarded as traitors. It's very likely that they will be chased here by their companions. But here, even if the king of the Yan Luo Region comes, he won't dare to enter the inn and kill people. "
"So arrogant? Not even the people from the University Palace? "
"The University Palace? That depends on who they are. Who would care about ordinary cats and dogs? Even if Palace Master Bai Chuan from the University Palace comes in person, not everyone will give him face. "
"Plus, Palace Master Bai Chuan won't come to this place just because he's full."
Qin Yi nodded silently. He had a general idea in his heart.
This dock was like a gray area. It belonged to no one. The Yan Luo Region couldn't control it, the University Palace couldn't control it, and neither could other places.
This kind of gray area often gave birth to all kinds of underworld forces.
The shops on the dock might not all belong to the underworld forces, but they were obviously not pure businessmen. After all, normal business wouldn't be so exaggerated.
After entering the guest room, Qin Yi realized that this place was indeed a little shabby. Apart from a cold bed, there was a table and two chairs.
Apart from that, there wasn't even a cup of water.
However, the expert knew the artistry. Qin Yi took a quick look and found that this guest room was special for ten thousand spirit stones.
Every guest room was protected by a restrictive barrier, which ensured the privacy of the guests. Under normal circumstances, there was absolutely no need to worry about someone breaking in.
At least with these restrictive spells, he could sleep well at night.
"Sir, you are also a man who knows what's good for you. These ten thousand spirit stones are not to buy a service, but to buy a life. If you don't believe me, you can keep a close eye on me these days. There are definitely people who die outside in the middle of the night. "
Qin Yi didn't say anything. He sat cross-legged on the bed and didn't say anything.
After spending so much money, he more or less felt a little wronged. Naturally, he wasn't interested in listening to the innkeeper's endless chatter.
The innkeeper took the money and was in a very good mood. He went downstairs with a smile.
Qin Yi activated the restrictive spells of this guest room, and at the same time, he carved a few simple magic formations around the bed. Whether it was the inheritance of Senior Xiao Anran or the inheritance of Emperor Xi's Hall, they both paid great attention to the carving of magic formations. Although Qin Yi hadn't learned it systematically, he had also mastered some of the basics.
When going out, Qin Yi paid attention to being careful.
Soon, Qin Yi entered a state of meditation. In his mind, he constantly sorted out all kinds of experiences and clues in the Yan Luo Region over the years.
