Chapter 484 Rui Lingbao Pavilion
Chapter 13 Ruilingbao Pavilion
Xin Aocai said with a smile: "It's just such a small request, the rest is gone, but with Brother Li's financial resources, there should be no problem..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that the young Xiaodao in front of him was looking at him with a half-smile.

He raised his hand and touched his face to make sure there was nothing unusual, then asked curiously, "Why is Brother Li looking at me like this?"

Yi Xifeng replied with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about borrowing some money from you."

That's right, Yi Xifeng didn't bring any money with him when he came out of the Zhenwu Dao Hall, and he lived in Daocheng for a while after he came out, and he traded more for things. Of course, he also sold some herbs to get a A small amount of money.

But if you really want to talk about the big gains, you have to kill the Silver Moon Anaconda later and sell it to Xin Aocai.And all the net worth in his pocket now adds up to more than 800 taels.So if he wanted to enter the Ruilingbao Pavilion this time, he could only get some... well, borrow some money from Xin Aocai.

The burly head of Xin Dajia was also a member of the underworld in the Jianghu. When he saw the other person's expression, he remembered the years when he was a horse bandit in Caotou Mountain when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.Only now can he be sure that this handsome young man is indeed young, and his expression now is exactly the same as when he was seventeen or eighteen!
He reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, showing a very ugly wry smile, and said slowly: "This, this is not very good, is it?"

The young man carefully considered the words of the head of Xin Da, and then said: "Then let's make a bet!"

Xin Aocai asked with some vigilance: "Gambling? What are you betting on?"

Yi Xifeng raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and asked with a smile: "Have you seen a fist as big as a casserole?"

The strong man looked at Youth Xiaodao's white fist. Although it was covered with calluses from sword practice, it didn't look like that kind of rough fingers, let alone a fist as big as a casserole.

Xin Aocai shook his head, apparently not wanting to speak up.

But Yi Xifeng still muttered to himself: "Then let's bet, can I, can I punch you to death?"

While talking, Yi Xifeng's other hand had already grabbed the strong man's arm, apparently to prevent him from escaping.He said slowly without any emotion: "Then let's start, how many punches do you bet on me to kill you? One punch? Or a few punches?"

……

In less than half a cup of tea, Yi Xifeng borrowed the money he needed contentedly, even far exceeding the amount he originally needed, and Xin Aocai's straightforward attitude made him a little embarrassed in the end...

Do you want this money?not good!please do not?That's not the case... It's very embarrassing!
……

The next morning, Yi Xifeng came to Nanshi Street in the south of the city with Xin Dazhang, whose face was obviously much older.This street can be regarded as the busiest street in the entire Xuanwu City. There are many restaurants and pawnshops, and there are several reputable ticket shops.The most eye-catching one is of course the Ruilingbao Pavilion located in the central area of ​​Nanshi Street. The seven-story tower-shaped building is very eye-catching in the entire Xuanwu City. This also indirectly shows that the Zhong family is indeed a material for business.

Youth Xiaodao is still wearing the moon-white Taoist robe today, not because he loves this color, but mainly because he is an outer disciple of the Zhenwu Dao Hall, and he is not allowed to wear the standard Taoist robe of the Zhenwu Dao Hall when he goes out to perform the tasks of the master sect , that is, the black Taoist robe.Only after becoming an inner sect disciple can one go out in the standard taoist robe.

In fact, this black color has always been one of Yi Xifeng's favorite colors. It is a black with red color, giving people a solemn feeling.In Yi Xifeng's words: "Women need to be pretty and look filial, and men need to be pretty and look like soap!"

And the soap color here actually refers to black, so since he can't choose the black Taoist robe he loves, the range for him to choose is very small, usually white, yellow, black, and the yellow Taoist robe has always been in Yi Xifeng's impression. Is it the uniform attire of Maoshan Taoist priests, or the yellow-robed monster transformed by Kuimu Lang in Journey to the West...

So in the end Yi Xifeng had no choice but to choose the white Taoist robe.

"Master Li, this is the Ruilingbao Pavilion." Xin Aocai pointed to the seven-story pagoda-shaped building, and said to Yi Xifeng indifferently.Since he was "forcibly borrowed" by Yi Xifeng for a huge amount of silver, his address to this young Taoist priest has also changed from "little brother" and "brother Li" to "big master Li" now.

Yi Xifeng naturally didn't care, anyway, the name "Li Nian" was just his code name, even if others greeted Li Nian, his eighth-generation ancestor, it had nothing to do with him.As for the quiet change of address, he can accept it. After all, he has caused the other party to bleed so much, and there must be some room for him to vent his emotions.

Youth Xiaodao didn't wait for the other party's introduction, he knew it was here.Such an eye-catching seven-story tower, together with the steps made of white marble at the door, not to mention the carved beams and painted buildings, is full of a smell of local tyrants.

Seeing that Yi Xifeng was in a daze, Xin Aocai who was at the side somewhat despised this nasty little Taoist priest, so he pretended to say something to comfort him: "Haha, I saw this Ruilingbao Pavilion for the first time, and it was also very shocking! Don't be nervous, you can First……"

It's just that before he finished speaking, the young man on the side suddenly said: "I really like this place so much!"

After all, without talking nonsense with Xin Aocai, he walked directly to the tower.

It's not that Yi Xifeng intentionally tricked the other party, but this kind of place filled with the smell of copper, at least revealed a message to him: here, money is the first criterion!

…………Dividing line…………

Xiu'er looked at the account in her hand, and listened to the shopkeepers around her report the situation of the goods in the past few days to her.

"Master, the batch of goods that Luo Yunguo asked for two days ago has already been delivered. The prepaid 1 taels have arrived, and the remaining 9 taels are said to be back by the end of the month. As for Wanshou Kingdom, Their steward guarding Kuwusi came through the word, saying that the money must be settled in three days, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" the girl named Xiu'er stared at her almond-shaped eyes and asked coquettishly.

The middle-aged shopkeeper hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "A little Ku Wusi naturally dare not do anything, but what he said is indeed a common practice. Moreover, this broken magic crossbow is also a hard currency. They really don't lack customers like us."

The girl rolled her eyes resentfully, showing a hint of charm, and immediately snorted coldly: "Give them the 3 taels first, and as for Luo Yunguo, although 9 taels is a lot, they won't do it for you." This amount of money has cut off our purchase channel."

Seeing that the master had made up his mind, the middle-aged shopkeeper naturally bowed and retreated, and then arranged for someone to go to the cashier to withdraw the money.And the rest of the shopkeepers also raised their own questions one after another, letting the girl make up her mind.

After about half an hour, when the last shopkeeper left the wing, a little maid came in from the outside and brought a cup of tea.

"Let's rest first!"

The girl named Xiu'er took a gulp of tea, then collapsed on the chair, and said impatiently: "Why is it so troublesome, they won't make up their own minds about these things? Do you have to bother me?"

The servant girl obviously had a very good relationship with the young man, and said with a smile: "Isn't it because the Patriarch has returned to Luo Yun Country, otherwise the madam would not have let the madam break the secret in person."

"You girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is the lady? You are tearing your mouth apart!" The girl blushed and growled in a low voice, like an angry little wild cat.

The servant girl immediately said: "Your servant knows your mistake!" Just looking at her expression, there is no attitude of knowing her mistake at all.She went on to say: "It should be Brother Rui, and Miss Xiu'er."

When Xiu'er heard this, her originally cheerful mood suddenly became a little sad.The maid on the side immediately noticed it, and asked, "What's the matter, Miss?"

"Hey, my life is just bad, don't imitate me in the future!" She shed tears as she spoke, and said while crying: "Obviously and Rui Ge have a lifelong relationship, but they have never been able to get married by a clear matchmaker. Come to Le Zhong's house There is another one in front of me who has never been through the door! I can only be a small..."

When the servant girl heard this, she comforted her and said: "Brother Rui is kind to you, we servants can all see it, as for the eldest lady of the Zhong family, whether Brother Rui likes her to say something else, even if you marry him back So what if it becomes bigger? She is just a tool for Brother Rui to inherit the Zhong family!"

Hearing what my servant girl said, the girl named Xiu'er recovered somewhat, and no longer shed tears.At this moment, a servant's voice came from outside the door of this wing.

"Master, there are hired warriors asking to see you."

The girl suppressed her previous emotions, and after a few breaths, she said softly, "Let him in!"

The person who came was none other than Xin Aocai who came with Yi Xifeng.

The strong man walked into the room with his head down, he didn't dare to raise his head, then he knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice, "My subordinate Xin Aocai, I have seen the master's house!"

"Say, what's the matter?"

"Before, I was ordered by the adults to pay attention to the young Taoist priest who hunted and killed the king of alien beasts, Li Nian. I hereby report it today!"

Xiu'er raised her head and pondered for a long time, then asked with some uncertainty: "You mean the guy who killed the giant python?"

"Exactly!" Xin Aocai responded immediately.

"Since it's the person your lord wants to recruit, let's take it easy and give him some discounts! Ask me about this kind of thing?" At the end, Xiu'er was obviously a little angry.

The brawny man said with some panic: "Subordinate, this subordinate also obeys orders... Er, obey, obey!"

As he spoke, he exited the wing room a little unsteadily.

……

Yi Xifeng spent time shopping for a cup of tea on the first floor, and found that some refining materials and various common herbs were bought here.Since the entire Ruilingbao Pavilion is built according to the shape of a tower, it is natural that the area of ​​the first floor is the largest, and it decreases from bottom to top.

It's just that the seven-story tower is indeed much bigger than he imagined. There are nearly a hundred people on the first floor!You know, anyone who enters here must first pay an entrance fee of 1000 taels, and it is still a huge pit that can not be refunded.This also limits the people who spend on the spot, and each person must spend 1000 taels, because it will not be refunded to you if you can’t spend it all.

However, he saw that the prices of refining materials sold in several places were slightly lower than the market price.Only a few rare materials are higher than the market price.

Yi Xifeng understood the key after a little thought.The reason why those bulk materials are priced cheaply is because the merchants know that the profit margin of this kind of thing is very transparent, and it is impossible to count on it to make much money.What really makes money is the platform of Ruilingbao Pavilion, or the biggest competitive advantage here is the complete range of goods.

The rare goods he sells here are more expensive than the market price, but the goods are guaranteed here, can other places guarantee it?In addition, those who want to buy cheaper commodities also stimulate other consumption desires of buyers.

Yi Xifeng is on the second floor at this time, and the things here are obviously better than those on the first floor.At this time, he was holding a red fruit in his hand in front of a stall, and asked, "How do you sell this vermilion fruit?"

The old man guarding the booth was keeping his head down while keeping accounts, when he heard someone asking about the price, he said without raising his head, "Zhu Guo, 100 taels!"

Yi Xifeng weighed the fruit in his hand, it was a 20-year-old vermilion fruit with an average quality.Since he brewed plain heart wine before, he often entrusted Mr. Wang to go to Fallen Leaf City to buy this product. With this quality, it is only worth 80 taels in Fallen Leaf City.

However, considering that this is the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts densely covered with forests and seas, the market price here is only about 60 taels.He smiled and put down the vermilion fruit in his hand, and then picked up another purple fruit.

"Then what about this nourishing fruit?"

The old man finally raised his head this time, he looked at the young man holding the fruit, saw that the other party was wearing a Taoist robe, and blinked his eyes.

Seeing the other party staring at him blankly, Yi Xifeng thought that the other party hadn't heard what he said just now, so he repeated it.

"Um, how do you sell this nourishing fruit?"

Only then did the old man come to his senses, ran over erratically, and said with a smile, "Ah? So it's a distinguished guest! If you really want this mental health fruit, I'll sell it to you for 900...er, [-] taels!"

When Yi Xifeng heard this, he frowned slightly. You must know that as long as this nourishing fruit grows for more than 30 years, the market price is generally around 1000 taels. Zhang Ming got it at a high price of 500 taels.

As for the quality of the fruit in his hand, it must have been more than 30 years old. Even if the fruit was calculated at the market price, it would not be less than 500 taels.

Seeing that he hesitated, the old man thought that his price was too high. After thinking about it secretly, he gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, this plus this! A total of 900 taels will be sold to you!"

As he said that, the old man gave Yi Xifeng the vermilion fruit just now.Seeing such good things, the young Xiaodao's heart also moved. The attitude of the other party has changed a lot before and after, and there must be something tricky in it.

"Haha, that's a deal." He first took the Yangshen Fruit and Vermilion Fruit into his hands, then stared at the old man and asked: "The old shopkeeper, you have to tell me why you treat me so favorably?"

This sentence actually confused the other party.

However, the higher-ups instructed him to give young Xiaodao a certain discount, especially to have a good impression of Ruilingbao Pavilion, but they didn't say whether they could tell him the reason of the matter.

This stumped the old man.Yi Xifeng also noticed the embarrassment of the other party immediately, and said with a smile: "Old shopkeeper, is there any difficulty, can't you tell me?"

Hearing this, the old man blinked and nodded.

Yi Xifeng smiled.
