Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All-Chapter 32

Argue Based on Reason

Dong Xi had originally wanted to turn around and leave, but the stall owner’s words made her extremely unhappy. Bargaining was part of business. If the stall owner could offer a price, then Dong Xi could naturally bargain. It was fine if they could not reach an agreement, but he should not say that she was here to cause trouble. That would be too much.

Dong Xi had to argue with reason and make things clear. “Uncle, your sword is just an ordinary iron sword. Which Immortal do you think would use such a sword as a weapon? There’s no reaction even after I inject spiritual energy into it. I’m already offering you a high price of eight spirit stones. If you still feel that it’s not enough, I still have some gold and silver here to give you.”

When the stall owner heard Dong Xi’s words, he was immediately dissatisfied. Was she trying to ruin his business? Besides, this sword was not just an iron sword that was casually forged. It was really obtained after many hardships. Otherwise, it would not be sold at such a high price. He did not if this sword is an ordinary item, but he did not want to let it go for such a low price.

The stall owner said unhappily, “I brought this back from a small world with great difficulty. How can it be an ordinary item? You little girl, you don’t know anything. Don’t stand here and talk nonsense.”

Dong Xi sneered. She had just held the iron sword in her hand and poured his spiritual Qi into it, but there was no reaction at all. According to her experience in the Immortal world, this iron sword was an ordinary item. It was not anything good at all. She was already thinking highly of the stall owner by giving him eight spirit stones.

Dong Xi had to make things clear to the stall owner today. Dong Xi argued with reason. “I’m spouting nonsense? This iron sword of yours doesn’t have any reaction when you inject spiritual energy into it. Even I, a new disciple, can feel it. Can’t you? If I were to ask you to pay 30 low-grade spiritual stones, would you be willing to do it?”

When the stall owner heard Dong Xi’s words, he immediately fell into deep thought. After thinking for a moment, he confirmed that this was indeed the case. The sword had no reaction at all ever since he got it, but how could it only be an ordinary item after he had worked so hard to bring it back? The stall owner suddenly raised his head and looked at Dong Xi, his eyes filled with doubt.

“Since you think it’s an ordinary item, why do you still want to buy it?”

When Dong Xi heard this, she knew that there was a chance that she could buy this iron sword at a low price. After all, if Dong Xi did not buy it now, no one else would buy it. Of course, she had to strike while the iron was hot and buy it. In terms of price, Dong Xi was still willing to pay eight low-rank spirit stones. After all, it was pleasing to the eye. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

“I also practice swordsmanship, but I don’t have any suitable weapons. This iron sword is more suitable. I only have eight lower spiritual stones. If you don’t want to sell it, I don’t want it.”

The stall owner understood Dong Xi’s words and thought about it. Many people had come to see the iron sword today, but no one had even asked about it. This girl was the first one to ask. If he did not sell it to her now, he did not know when he would be able to sell it. In the end, the stall owner had no choice but to compromise.

“Alright, eight is fine. You can have it.”

Dong Xi took out eight spirit stones and handed them over to the stall owner. She kept the sword in her storage bag. She planned to study the iron sword when she got back. There must be some secret behind it. Ke Xin could not understand what Dong Xi was doing. An ordinary iron sword cost eight low-grade spirit stones.

Ke Xin said anxiously, “What are you buying this for? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten? You’re an alchemist. Even if you want to buy something, you should buy a good one. This one doesn’t even have spiritual energy. You might as well buy Fasting Pills.”

Dong Xi knew that Ke Xin was saying this for her own good, but she had already learned the sword technique and needed a weapon to practice with. However, she could not tell Ke Xin that she had learned it in the forbidden area. Although she was an alchemist, it was not a bad thing to know some sword techniques for self-defense.

Dong Xi smiled at the anxious Ke Xin. “I know basic sword techniques. I want to practice it well so that I have a way to defend myself when I go out in the future.”

Ke Xin saw how calm Dong Xi was and was still very puzzled. Why would an alchemist need any self-defense techniques? As long as she became a Grandmaster Alchemist, she would have many followers who would do their best to protect her as their Master Alchemist. There would be no need for her as a Master Alchemist to risk her life to fight with others.

Seeing Dong Xi’s happy expression, Ke Xin could not bear to say anything more. Dong Xi did not have a single spirit stone on her, nor did she buy any jade slips.?She smiled as she look at Ke Xin, saying, “Sister, we’re close, right? Can you lend me two spirit stones to use the teleportation array? I’ll return you the spirit stones next month, alright?”
