Chapter 36 Who is getting who for free?

"Young Master Lu, I wonder how many eighth-level low-grade chopsticks you still have in your hand?"

After shopkeeper Feng chatted with Lu Tao for a few words, he went straight to the point to talk about cooperation and wanted to continue buying chopsticks.

During this period, Tianyun Inn's business was booming, and there were too many guests.

Everyone wanted to try the magical effect of the eighth-grade low-grade chopsticks, but unfortunately there were too many people and there were only a hundred pairs of chopsticks. Many people couldn't eat at the first time and had to wait in a long line.

There are even more customers using ordinary chopsticks to eat.

With such a booming business, the daily income on the second floor of Tianyun Inn reaches tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000.

Since Lu Tao bought one hundred pairs of chopsticks, in just a few days, Tianyun Inn has made back all the money it spent on Lu Tao.

Therefore, shopkeeper Feng wanted to continue buying chopsticks.

Shopkeeper Feng also approached He Zongming, but Lu Tao was in retreat at the time, so naturally he couldn't be disturbed.

Just now, He Zongming was so excited about the teaching of the exercises and was anxious to experience the effects of the practice that he forgot to mention this to Lu Tao.

Lu Tao slowly ate a piece of braised pork, shook his head and said, "There are no eighth-grade low-grade chopsticks."

The expectant expression on Shopkeeper Feng's face suddenly froze, and then he smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Tao continued: "But there are seventh-level low-grade ones."

"What? Seventh-level low-grade?"

Shopkeeper Feng's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he glanced at the lively dining guests on the other side. Shopkeeper Feng immediately invited Lu Tao to his room on the first floor and asked the kitchen to serve more delicious dishes.

"Young Master Lu, please."

Shopkeeper Feng personally made a cup of tea for Lu Tao, and asked with concern with a smile: "How is your stay at our Tianyun Inn these days, Mr. Lu?"

"not bad."

Lu Tao really thought it was pretty good.

Staying at the Tianyun Inn is protected by a protective array. No one will disturb you and no one will peep at you. You will feel very safe.

In the past few days, Lu Tao practiced peacefully. Even when he was sleeping, he didn't have to worry about any danger, and he didn't need a big black dog to keep watch.

Shopkeeper Feng asked with a smile: "What do you think of our Tianyun Inn, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Tao was slightly stunned.

He thought he would directly discuss cooperation next, but he didn't expect that shopkeeper Feng would ask such a question. Wasn't he trying to play the emotional card so that he could negotiate the price?

After thinking about it, Lu Tao nodded and said, "Not bad."

The smile on Shopkeeper Feng's face froze slightly. It was still the same three words. Can't you say more?

Cursing secretly, Shopkeeper Feng continued to ask with a smile: "How much does Mr. Lu know about our Tianyun Inn?"

"I've never heard of it before." Lu Tao shook his head.

"Our Tianyun Inn has a history of thousands of years and is spread throughout the Daqian Dynasty. There are Tianyun Inns in every state, prefecture and county."

Shopkeeper Feng introduced the Tianyun Inn to Lu Tao and said: "There are thousands of Tianyun Inns in the entire Daqian territory. Different from county-level cities, such as the Tianyun Inn at the state and prefectural levels, they serve many people. A strong person above the innate realm."

Lu Tao was a little shocked when he heard this.

Tianyun Inn is obviously a black inn, but it can be spread throughout a dynasty, which shows how powerful the power behind it is.

But why did Shopkeeper Feng introduce Tianyun Inn to him?

Lu Tao asked this question directly.

"It seems to me that Young Master Lu is not a disciple of a certain family or a certain sect."

Shopkeeper Feng said: "You are alone and weak after all. If Lu Shaoxia can join a certain force, a small sect such as Honghua Valley, how can he dare to offend you?"

Shopkeeper Feng's words were undoubtedly an invitation to Lu Tao to join Tianyun Inn.

really.

Then Shopkeeper Feng said sincerely: "I sincerely invite Shaoxia Lu to join me at Tianyun Inn. Tianyun Inn can solve all your grudges for you."

Lu Tao was a little moved when he heard this.

It is true that being able to be close to a big force will undoubtedly bring many benefits, and a single identity can avoid a lot of trouble.

but.

Lu Tao is a little repelled by an inn with the nature of a black shop like this, not because he is very noble, but mainly because he is worried that Tianyun Inn itself is a troublesome vortex, and once trapped, he will not be able to get out.

An inn like this could offend countless forces. If one day they were attacked by a group of people, Lu Tao would not even have a chance to escape.

Therefore, Lu Tao could only decline politely: "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Feng, for your kindness. However, Lu is used to freedom. I'm afraid I will have to live up to Shopkeeper Feng's kindness."

After speaking, Lu Tao changed the topic and continued: "However, although he cannot join Tianyun Inn, Lu can cooperate with Tianyun Inn for a long time."

Lu Tao was also worried that Tianyun Inn would be too small-minded and would not tolerate rejection by others and secretly retaliate, so he talked about long-term cooperation.

Shopkeeper Feng was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

But when Lu Tao mentioned long-term cooperation, most of his disappointment dissipated.

He invited Lu Tao to join Tianyun Inn, firstly because Lu Tao's cultivation talent was indeed worth cultivating, and secondly because he wanted to become a chopstick master.

The difference is that if Lu Tao joins Tianyun Inn, it will be working for Tianyun Inn, not a cooperative relationship.

"What does Lu Shaoxia mean by long-term cooperation?"

After Lu Tao pondered for a moment, he said: "The seventh-grade low-grade chopsticks were sold by Lu to Tianyun Inn for half the price."

Shopkeeper Feng frowned.

The market price of a seventh-level low-grade item is one hundred thousand taels. Even if it is half price, it is still fifty thousand taels.

But the point is, they're talking about chopsticks.

No matter how high the grade is, chopsticks are still chopsticks, unlike other items such as weapons and armor that can enhance one's personal strength.

and.

The eighth-grade low-grade chopsticks are enough for Tianyun Inn to attract customers and make their business more prosperous. Naturally, there is no need to buy the seventh-grade chopsticks.

Therefore, Shopkeeper Feng is still ready to talk to Lu Tao about the cooperation of the eighth-level low-grade chopsticks.

Shopkeeper Feng was speaking when he heard Lu Tao continue: "Moreover, Lu's forging ability has increased greatly recently, and he should be able to forge sixth-level or even fifth-level chopsticks in the near future. If Tianyun Inn cooperates with Lu for a long time, it will be sold to him in the future. No matter how many chopsticks there are in Tianyun Inn, when Lu’s forging ability improves, these chopsticks can be returned to let Lu improve their quality. As for the price..."

Lu Tao paused for a moment before continuing: "Since it is a long-term cooperation, the price for upgrading the chopsticks cannot be higher. It only needs to be... 30% of the price of items of the same level after the chopsticks are upgraded."

"Shopkeeper Feng, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Feng originally had no idea about purchasing seventh-level chopsticks, but now, as soon as Lu Tao proposed cooperation, shopkeeper Feng couldn't help but feel excited.

This cooperation plan is really too tempting.

First, improve your grade.

There is no doubt that this is the one that touches his heart the most. Their Tianyun Inn serves not only the monks under Xiantian, but also the powerful ones such as Xiantian, Grandmaster, and Shentai.

But the eighth-level low-grade chopsticks are ineffective against the innate realm.

But once the level is upgraded to the fifth level, that is, the chopsticks become innate spiritual weapons, which are also effective on the innate realm strong ones, then what you will earn by then will not be mere silver or gold, but yuan stones.

The value of Yuan Stone is far more than ten thousand times that of gold.

Second, price.

The price is only 30% of items of the same level. This price can be said to be quite cheap.

Even if it is just chopsticks, once they are upgraded to the fifth level, they are innate spiritual weapons. Even if they are used as weapons, their lethality is not weak.

The only thing that needs to be worried is, what is Lu Tao's forging ability?

Shopkeeper Feng suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath and asked, "Young Master Lu, I wonder what your forging ability is? What level of chopsticks can you forge now? In addition, can you ensure that you can forge fifth-level chopsticks in the future?"

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Feng."

Lu Tao smiled and said: "Not to mention anything else, Lu still has the confidence to make things. With just fifth-level chopsticks, Lu can easily achieve it within ten years."

"What if Mr. Lu can't do it within ten years?"

Shopkeeper Feng narrowed his eyes and asked.

Lu Tao looked solemn and said: "If we can't do it within ten years, Lu will return all the money, and these chopsticks will be given to Tianyun Inn."

For Lu Tao, how could it take ten years to make fifth-level chopsticks?

As long as there are higher-level monster flesh, bones, internal organs, etc., as long as his cultivation reaches the innate realm, he can easily make them in just one day.

The reason for giving ten years is just because I don't want to expose too much.

When Shopkeeper Feng heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then put on a smile on his face.

In his opinion, Lu Tao was too conceited.

Making a fifth-level spiritual weapon is not that simple. It is even more difficult than advancing to the innate realm. Do you want to do it in ten years?

Overconfidence.

But it wasn't a bad thing for him. Once Lu Tao couldn't do it, it would be like using Lu Tao's chopsticks for nothing.

certainly.

Compared to using Lu Tao's chopsticks for free, he still hopes that Lu Tao can make fifth-level chopsticks by then. After all, making Yuanshi is countless times better than making silver.

It's just that this possibility is unlikely. From this point of view, he can only reluctantly buy Lu Tao's chopsticks for nothing.

Coincidentally, Lu Tao was also thinking about Bai Tianyun Inn.

Just some chopsticks made of ordinary bamboo can not only earn countless silver coins, but also allow people to gain experience and gain fortune points for free.

More importantly, you can make money over and over again.

It’s simply not too fun.

An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled, each thinking in his mind.

The cooperation was concluded. Shopkeeper Feng took a sip of tea and asked, "How many seventh-level chopsticks does Mr. Lu have in his hand? I bought them all."

The arrogance of the shopkeeper of Tianyun Inn is clearly on display.

Lu Tao also took a sip of tea and chuckled: "Ten thousand pairs."

"puff……"
