novelI Am Shen Ao, the 6th Prince of the Country of Fire
| ← Ch.050 | Ch.052 → |
Shen Tian stared at Shopkeeper Song after he finished speaking.
The light green halo on Shopkeeper Song's head suddenly changed color.
It was a darker green now, full of vitality!
Shen Tian was relieved.
Since Shopkeeper Song's providence had improved, Shen Tian was okay with it.
His priority was still at whitening his halo.
Since Shopkeeper Song already said that this hammer is worth 10, 000 Spirit Stones, I did not take advantage of him anyway. Furthermore, I paid him the entire cost of it. There's no way his providence would not increase.
Shen Tian kept the hammer in his Archeon Sea Ring and started helping others to find their ores.
...
After a few moments, something good appeared in one of the ores. It was a red stick with two iron balls fixed on the ends. It was a very special weapon.
Shopkeeper Song looked at it and deemed it as a middle-grade Dharma artifact, and its worth was about 4, 000 Spirit Stones.
The lucky individual that got this Dharma artifact looked at Shen Tian with mixed feelings.
In the end, he made up his mind and said, "Master Celestial, I don't have 2, 000 Spirit Stones with me now and thus cannot afford the payment for you."
Shen Tian said gently, "It's okay, my service is free. It is not a must to give me part of your shares."
The man quickly shook his head and said, "No! You helped me obtain it, so I should pay for you!
"Erm... How about this! I'll sell this artifact to you for just 400 Spirit Stones!"
He looked at Shen Tian full of hope.
However, Shen Tian's face darkened. He said, "An artifact worth 4, 000 Spirit Stones, and you are selling it to me for 400?"
He looked at Shopkeeper Song and the man suspiciously.
Are they trying to con me?
Even that shiny hammer is only worth 10, 000 Spirit Stones.
This Dharma artifact looks extremely normal and ugly, but it's worth 4, 000 Spirit Stones?
Do you think I'm stupid?
Are you questioning my intelligence?
...
It would be a very risky move, and Shen Tian did not want to take it.
He said firmly, "So you think I'll take advantage of you like this?
"Since this is your fortuitous opportunity, you can keep it. There is no need for your payment."
"It's an insult to me if I take it!
Then, Shen Tian walked away.
The man was frightened.
How did Shopkeeper Song manage to sell the Purple Golden Hammer at such a low price?
Why does it not work with my Red Meteor Hammer?
Master Celestial doesn't even want my money. Is he mad at me?
So I've made a fool out of myself? And Master Celestial dislikes me now?
The man had never felt so regretful before.
Lucky Man B looked at him and silently took out a jade bamboo slip and a pen.
He started writing something on it.
. Sharing half of the fortuitous opportunity with Master Celestial. Effect: Weak. Status: Working.
. Hug on Master Celestial's leg and say we missed him. Effect: Good. Status: Expired.
. Sell the fortuitous opportunity at a low price to Master Celestial. Effect: Extremely good. Status: Expired.
Conclusion:
. The idea of pleasing Master Celestial must be innovative and creative.
. Following what others did blindly could have a negative effect.
. Master Celestial does not like petty advantage. He will only take advantage of great benefits.
After writing these down, Lucky Man B keeps the bamboo slip carefully and sighed.
"Who would have thought that Shopkeeper Song was this smart?
"Why did I not think of such a genius idea!?
"Seems like it is not working now.
"Sigh... Why am I here when Shopkeeper Song could easily replace me?"
Lucky Man A and Xiong Meng looked at Lucky Man B and Shopkeeper Song with admiration.
Have they attended Cultivation School together before? Why are they so clever?
"Brother, no worries. I believe you will come up with a better idea soon! I'll listen to whatever you say. As long as I can profit too!"
"Same for me!"
...
On the other hand, Master Celestial did not seem too happy.
That lucky man just now sold his Red Meteor Hammer to Shopkeeper Song and gave the 2, 000 Spirit Stones to Shen Tian.
He planned to give everything to Shen Tian first as an apology, but Shen Tian refused to take anything more than half of the full profit.
Thus, he could only give 2, 000 in the end.
He was still afraid that Master Celestial was still angry with him.
He does not even want to accept my apology. He must be super angry now.
What should I do?
Please help!
Please!!
I'm so desperate!
...
Of course, no one offered help to him.
Everyone was glad that they were not the one who made that mistake. Otherwise, they would never be fated with Master Celestial again.
They would rather suffer instead!
Shen Tian was not affected by it too much.
He did not even realize what was happening.
His job was just to pick one ore after another and let the fortuitous opportunities reveal themselves.
Shen Tian could feel that his head was much lighter.
He took out his mirror and realized that his halo was getting cleaner too.
There was only a stain of black dot left and a super-thin layer of black mist around it.
He was confident that his halo would turn completely white by the third day.
...
Everyone supposed to obtain their fortuitous opportunities in the Sky Spirit Pavilion had gotten their goods.
Shopkeeper Song sent them off with a huge smile on his face.
Although he opened ores for them for free, he did not feel that he had suffered a loss.
The 5, 000 Spirit Stones he had gotten were way more than the fees for ore-cutting.
Furthermore, he had gained Master Celestial's favor for selling the Purple Golden Hammer at a low price.
He would definitely have fate with Master Celestial again in the future.
As long as there was fate between them, he could strike it rich easily.
At least, that was what Shopkeeper Song thought.
"See? That is called intelligence!" Shopkeeper Song said to his son and gave him a slap."You and Master Celestial both are young, but look at yourself! What have you achieved? I'm warning you, do not get into trouble when you go out next time, or I'll break your legs!"
Young Shopkeeper Song was rendered speechless yet again.
...
A man appeared at the Sky Spirit Pavilion's door.
He was wearing a robe with a white dragon on it and had a jade pendant at his waist.
He looked quite handsome and seemed like a rich man.
Shopkeeper Song quickly approached him.
"Hello, please come in!
"May I know how to address you? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The man was very satisfied with Shopkeeper Song's attitude.
He nodded and said, "I am Shen Ao, the 6th Prince of the Country of Fire!"
