“Okay! According to ninety percent, the total is…”

Shopkeeper Tu worked on the abacus and promptly came up with a result, he lifted his head and said, “Rounding off, it’s a total of four hundred and forty lower-grade spirit stones!”

“That’s not right! You said at the original price! How did it become ninety percent!”

“Because, you’re my grandpa! Grandpa Xu Mu! Will you take it?”

One can’t forsake spirit stones just for the sake of saving face, right?

Speaking of which, calling Xu Mu grandpa is a bit of a disadvantage, but not by much compared to his father’s generation.

Okay then!

You’re ruthless!

Xu Mu was at a loss for words.

“Did you really make this pill?”

During checkout, Shopkeeper Tu was still a little bit uneasy.

Although a few hundred lower-grade spirit stones is a small matter, if he offends a certain family, his small-scale business would not be able to withstand it.

“Rest assured, I value my life more than you do! I have a wife and children, but you are all alone!”

“What’s so bad about being alone? I can go to the hook bars and listen to music every day, being a newlywed every night, whereas you, can only be it once!” Shopkeeper Tu said proudly.

“That might not be the case!” Xu Mu instinctively replied.

“What? You also want to take a concubine? Can you handle it with your physique?”

H 11

Who do you think you’re belittiling?

I am…

“Quit the idle chatter, my wife is waiting for me at home! Hurry up and exchange the spirit stones for the ingredients of fifty Qi Gathering Pills and a hundred bottles of Fasting Pills!”

“A hundred bottles of Fasting Pills? Have you gone mad?”

Shopkeeper Tu looked at Xu Mu as if he were a madman.

Even for a highly cultivated individual, a Fasting Pill can only last for a day. A hundred bottles could be enough for three years. Even if one were storing them, there’s no need to store this much.

Also, don’t you know how to make Fasting Pills yourself?

Aren’t you burning money by buying them yourself?

“Stop asking so many questions and just get it for me. Are you not going to make a profit even with spirit stones?”

“I just don’t want you to suffer a loss! When your wife runs off, don’t come blaming me!”

“Can’t you say something nice for a change? You’re cursing me, you’re nothing like your father!” Xu Mu grumbled.

He knew that the other party meant well, he just had a foul mouth.

“This is a kindly reminder! If you still want to buy, feel free! But once you step out of the shop, we don’t accept returns!”

“I got it, i got it!”

Seeing Xu Mu getting impatient, Shopkeeper Tu turned around and went into the back room. He took out all the Fasting Pills in storage, and called the lazy clerk to help mind the shop.

With such a major deal, he had to reward himself by going to the hook bars.

As more and more people moved from out-of-town recently, the hook bars stocked up on fresh blood and released many new songs, he had been wanting to check it out.

After completing the transaction, Xu Mu left the pharmacy and headed towards the marketplace to buy some groceries before heading home.

With a hundred bottles of Fasting Pills and the Luck Value accumulated recently, he planned to upgrade his Thunderbolt Sword Skill to the level of Perfection.

Now with a stronger constitution, it was time to discipline the young people.

Just as he walked out the door and didn’t get far, someone called out to stop him.

“Friend Xu, please hold on!”

Lan Shijin, gallant in her cyan clothes, approached him gracefully.

“Friend Lan, is there something you need?” Xu Mu said, puzzled.

Didn’t she just say that she had something else to do? Why did she suddenly come back?

“Friend Xu, may 1 have a word with you?” Lan Shijin gestured at him to join her.

“Of course!”

Xu Mu nodded in agreement.

She got along well with his wife, and over the years she had a good reputation. Xu Mu wasn’t worried about her harming him.

Lead by Lan Shijin, they entered a nearby tea house.

Lan Shijin took out a spirit stone and ordered two cups of spiritual tea.

The water was clear and the tea was green, the aroma was pleasant!

“Friend Lan, you can speak your mind directly, you don’t have to be so polite!”

Xu Mu took the spiritual tea Lan Shijin offered, gently placed it on the table, and began.

“Since Friend Xu says so, 1 will not beat around the bush!”

She held her teacup, her fingers slender, her lips slightly parted as she took a delicate sip, every movement exuded elegance.

“I was wondering, how’s the environment in the shanty area? I’m thinking of moving there with Yue Ning for a while!”

Yue Ning is Lan Shijin’s daughter, her full name is Leng Yuening. They’ve been neighbors for over a decade, but he had only seen her once. She’s a very cold girl.

“Moving to the shanty area? Are you joking, Friend Lan?”

Xu Mu’s face showed shock and disbelief.

Besides, the robe she was wearing alone indicated that she wouldn’t have to resort to living in the shanty area.

Besides, her husband was at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, he was about to…

Wait a minute!

He remembered suddenly, the gray-robed elder who led them to cause trouble at the Chi Family looked like Lan Shijin’s husband.

Which means she’s now a widow!!

Not right!

Even if her husband died, given their family’s wealth, they wouldn’t have to resort to living in the shanty area.

He was planning to go to the dental shop in the marketplace later to see if there were any vacant houses. He was ready to move back to the marketplace since he had already paid the deposit.

Why is she going the opposite way?

Could it be, couldn’t rent a house?

Xu Mu thought to himself.

Lan Shijin shook her head with a bitter smile.

“I’m not joking with Friend Xu, here’s what happened…”

After Lan Shijin briefly explained the situation, Xu Mu finally got the picture.

It turns out it wasn’t that they didn’t have enough money. Instead, a few newly arrived families were constantly expanding their territory in the marketplace, and Lan Shijin’s original residence happened to be located within their designated area.

If her husband were still alive, they could have negotiated. But now that her husband was dead, she had even offended the Chi Family on top of that..
