Even though he didn't know who Bingqian was, she was still someone from Leizhou City. It's better to be careful.
Bingqian was startled and then smiled.
When other people saw her for the first time, they couldn't help but stare blankly for a while. Even Ye Zifeng was no exception. However, the person in front of her didn't panic at all. His words were very smooth as well.
This meant that there were two possibilities. Either the person wearing the bamboo hat had seen her before, or he didn't have any thoughts about Bing Qian. Obviously, the former made more sense. What did he mean by they had never met before? It was a complete lie!
Since this person didn't want to reveal his identity and was acting sneakily, then Bingqian could only force him to reveal his identity.
"Shopkeeper, how much did he pay for the cauldron? I'll double his price. What do you think?" Bingqian made up her mind and asked.
This time, she had a big deal. No matter what, she had to get the cauldron. She knew that the shopkeeper was very greedy so she tried to tempt him.
Ye Zifeng furrowed his brows. He had a good impression of this Bingqian but she didn't understand the rules of first come first served. She was clearly trying to steal the cauldron from him.
"Double ….. Double? Lady Bingqian, the price that the customer just quoted was 350 gold coins. If you double it would be ….. 700 gold coins! " The shopkeeper's bottom line had been crushed by the temptation of money. 700 gold coins was enough to make up for his store's profits for a few days.
"What? You used 350 gold coins ….. "Bingqian stared at Ye Zifeng with her eyes wide open. She thought that this person would only use 200 gold coins to buy the cauldron. Who would've thought that he would be so extravagant.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Then what do you plan to do now? Are you going to use 700 gold coins to buy a cauldron that's worth 50 gold coins?"
"You know that this cauldron is only worth 50 gold coins. Why did you use 350 gold coins to buy it?" Bingqian was confused.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Didn't I bump into you?" He had to buy the cauldron. As for the extra money, he didn't really care. As long as he had enough money to buy ingredients, it would be enough.
"I …"
Actually, it wasn't too difficult for Bing Qian to take out 700 gold coins, but it wasn't worth it. She was not worth it to fight with Ye Feng for the sake of a breath of air. After all, there was no death feud between the two of them.
"Shopkeeper, when will the next cauldron be delivered to Leizhou City? Do you have any idea?" Bing Qian's beautiful eyes flashed a glimmer of hope.
The shopkeeper counted on his fingers for a while, muttering to himself for a moment, "Well … there aren't many people who buy pill furnaces, so there aren't many channels to purchase them. According to the usual turnover, it might take another month or two! "
Bing Qian's expression darkened, "That's too long … I need to refine this batch of pills in ten days! Otherwise, the clan would have lost a huge sum of money. "
Her eyes revealed a disappointed expression. It was pitiful. From time to time, she would glance at Ye Feng.
Ye Zifeng pretended to ignore her and went to the shopkeeper to get the goods. He didn't show any mercy at all.
"Hey …! Look at how pitiful I am, why didn't you say anything? Hey … Did you hear me? "
"I'm sorry. My name isn't Hey ….. Shopkeeper, can you open the cauldron for me? I want to see what's inside ….."
Bingqian took a deep breath. Her entire person seemed to have softened a lot. Her voice instantly became flirtatious, "Then … this young master."
"I'm a rough person. I'm not a young master. Shopkeeper, help me wipe off some of the paint on the cauldron ….. "Ye Zifeng pointed at the inside of the cauldron.
Bing Qian suppressed the anger in her heart. Her voice was as gentle as possible, "Rough … rough big brother, this little girl has a presumptuous request." With her identity, with her pride, this was the first time she had met such a difficult person to deal with.
"If it's about this cauldron, then don't say anything. I won't let you have it." Ye Zifeng immediately revealed his bottom line. He was a fanatic alchemist. In his previous life, he would rather not have a beautiful woman than a cauldron. Thus, when Ye Chen destroyed his cauldron, Ye Zifeng hated him a lot. Sooner or later, he will teach this idiot son of his a lesson.
"You!" When Bingqian saw that Ye Zifeng ignored her no matter what she said, she couldn't help but become angry.
Seeing Ye Zifeng's attitude, the shopkeeper sighed, "Customer, you don't know this right? This Miss Bingqian is the best huang tier alchemist in Leizhou City. If you buy this cauldron today, you might have to ask her to refine pills for you in the future. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Other than being greedy, the shopkeeper was a good person. Thus, he tried to persuade Ye Zifeng.
"Right. That's right."
Bingqian finally regained her dignity from the shopkeeper. She raised her head and said, "Did you hear that? I'm the best alchemist in Leizhou City. If you buy this common tier cauldron, you might have to find another alchemist to refine it for you. In the future, don't come looking for me to refine pills for you. Otherwise, if I see this cauldron again, I'll turn around and leave!"
Ye Zifeng calmly nodded, "Don't worry. I won't come looking for you to refine pills for me."
The shopkeeper: "… …"
Bingqian: "… …"
First, he spent three hundred and fifty gold coins to buy a cauldron. Now, he's disregarding a huang tier alchemist like Bingqian. Without a doubt, this person in front of her is a madman! He's definitely a madman!
"Shopkeeper, I've seen it. Even though the cauldron has some flaws, it's not a big deal. You can pay the bill now. Three hundred and fifty gold coins. Not a single one less." Ye Zifeng had a serious expression on his face.
He was using eighty percent of his attention on the quality of the cauldron and only used twenty percent of his attention to talk to Bingqian. The shopkeeper opened his mouth wide and silently nodded.
At the same time, Bingqian's nose started to ache. Ever since she was young, she had always been treated as a proud daughter of the heavens. Her cultivation had reached the peak of qi refining and she was the best alchemist in Leizhou City. Her skills were taught by Muyun Old Devil from Tiandao City. She was an amazing girl in Leizhou City. When did a goddess like her ever have to endure this kind of bullsh * t?
However, she didn't cry in the end. She only wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Big bro rough guy, I'm begging you. Even if you don't give the cauldron to me, at least let me refine with you in the future. When you're not using it, I'll refine it for you. As for the three hundred and fifty gold coins, I'll give you two hundred. "
Ye Zifeng shook his head. He wasn't interested in sharing the cauldron with her.
On the other side, the shopkeeper was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. He had been dealing with Bingqian for many years. He had always seen Bingqian acting all high and mighty. When did he ever see her beg someone? It's fine if she didn't beg someone but she was rejected.
Some people would beg their grandpa and grandma to secretly learn from Bingqian who was a huang tier alchemist. However, they didn't even have the chance to do so. Now that Bingqian offered to refine a pill together, she was rejected by Ye Zifeng.
"Then I'll give you three hundred gold coins ….."
Ye Zifeng didn't move at all. It was as if the girl in front of him was a block of wood. A total of three hundred and fifty gold coins. Bingqian gave him three hundred gold coins. This was basically giving Ye Zifeng a cauldron.
"I'll pay all three hundred and fifty gold coins. That should be fine right?"
Bingqian blinked her big eyes and helplessly smiled. This was the last thing she could think of. Her luck was pretty bad. When she wanted to buy a cauldron, Ye Zifeng's cauldron was destroyed and needed to buy a new one.
Ye Zifeng shook his head and coldly looked at her, "It's not about the money. It's just that I don't like people watching when I'm refining pills."
When Bing Qian heard this, she was startled. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't control them. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she finally cried.
Crying? The number one alchemist in Leizhou City, Bingqian, was actually crying.
Ye Zifeng wasn't good at dealing with women crying in front of him. Especially a beauty like her. He looked at the shopkeeper and wanted to find a way to comfort her. However, the shopkeeper only gave him a look as if he was saying, "Brat, what are you doing? Hurry up and go!" In Leizhou City, there weren't many people that could make Bingqian angry. Those that could make her cry were even rarer.
He wanted to buy the cauldron and then leave. However, Bingqian continued to cry while walking with Ye Zifeng. Wherever Ye Zifeng went, she would follow him.
Ye Zifeng bitterly smiled. One should know that getting rid of a woman that was following him was much harder than getting rid of a person that was following him. If she continues to pester him like this, he won't even have time to concoct pills.
Ye Zifeng bit his lips and said, "Alright ….. Don't cry. I promise you. You can concoct pills with me ….."
Bingqian gulped and looked at Ye Zifeng with her red and swollen eyes, "Really? You're not lying to me? "
"I never lie to women." Ye Zifeng looked at her. He looked calm but in his heart, he was regretting his impulsive actions of agreeing to a person that he didn't even know.
However, in the end, it was because he wasn't good at dealing with women. In his previous life, it was the same in this life.
Bingqian had a happy expression on her face and smiled, "Alright. I didn't think that you would have such a good heart."
Ye Zifeng nodded and looked at the shopkeeper, "Boss, I'll pay the bill now. I'll pay for the three hundred and fifty gold coins."
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Alright! I'll go count the money now. "
Bingqian grabbed onto Ye Zifeng's sleeves and wiped her tears, "This isn't right. Since we're concocting pills together, then I should pay at least half of the money."
"No. I want you to understand that you owe me a favor. This way, I'll be able to negotiate with you later." Ye Zifeng shook his head.
Ye Zifeng wasn't a male chauvinist. He didn't want Bingqian to pay because he had other considerations.
