Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling . Ji Ruxue was still an inexperienced little
girl .
The shop manager was smart enough to see through her from the way she
acted .
Then, he started to recommend her the furnace that was good enough for the
"future great alchemist" . It was the furnace placed deep inside .
It was purple, much smaller than the others . Its extremely smooth outline did
make it stand out from the other furnaces .
"This rose gold furnace is designed by Master Tao . It's made of . . . " the shop
manager kept talking about how great this furnace was .
"Sis . "
Ji Ruxue was really tempted, but she didn't know whether she could buy it,
since it would depend on Ji Yinyi .
"How much does it cost?" Ji Yinyi asked .
The shop manager told them a price . Frowning tightly at him, Ji Yinyi said
coldly, "If I find this price is unreasonably high when I go back, I'll come back
to destroy your business and kill you . "
"My client, what are you talking about? I'm a businessman . I never cheat my
customers . "
He waited for a while, and then said with a smile, "If miss you really like it, I
can give you a 50% discount . "
Ji Yinyi snorted . She felt disdainful for such a businessman .
"Young Master Wind, what do you think?"
When Ji Yinyi was about to pay, it suddenly occurred to her that since Jiang
Chen and she were playing a couple, it didn't seem normal if she didn't ask for
his opinion .
"Don't buy it," Jiang Chen said honestly .
The shop manager was obviously embarrassed . Ji Ruxue, really expectant,
also pulled a long face .

"Oh? Why is that?" Ji Yinyi said out of curiosity .
"The Elixir Association must have furnaces prepared . Besides, our sis won't
have any chance to use this rose gold furnace . And most importantly, it's
showy but not practical," Jiang Chen said .
The two women recalled what Jiang Chen had told them . They figured maybe
he was really an expert .
"My client, whatever you say, I won't argue with you . However, if you think it's
showy but not practical, I have to say you really don't have an eye for it," the
shop manager said .
"Well, if you say so . "
Jiang Chen didn't have the time to waste on such a person . He turned around
to leave .
His reaction was beyond the shop manager's expectation . He hurried to stop
Jiang Chen . He said unhappily, "You've asked so many questions . Now you
are telling me you won't buy it?"
"So?"
Before Jiang Chen could speak, Ji Yinyi threw the shop manager an unkind
look .
"According to the local rule, if you inquire about my stuff, but decide not to buy
it, you will have to pay 10% of the price as the inquiry fee . "
"Did you invent the rule just now?" Ji Ruxue said disdainfully .
"You can ask around if you don't believe me . The whole street knows this is
my rule . "
Although he knew there were Venerables among the three, he wasn't afraid at
all .
"What if I don't pay the 10% to you?" Ji Yinyi asked .
"Don't stare at me like this . I'm just the manager . I'm not the owner . My boss
isn't scared of any Celestial Venerables," the shop manager said, smiling .

"Sis . "
Ji Ruxue didn't want to make trouble . She was afraid it would interfere with
her chance to join the Elixir Association .
Seeing Ji Yinyi not speak, the manager said, "My client, if you don't want to
pay the 10%, why don't you just buy it? It's the perfect solution, isn't it? If
someone doesn't want to spend the money for you, just ignore him . "
"I'm not going to pay you anything! If you reach out to stop me, I'll cut down
your hand . If you stand in my way, I'll cut your body in half!"
To his surprise, Ji Yinyi said coldly, scowling .
The manager was given a scare . He hurried to go back into the shop and hit
the table hard .
Only a few seconds later, a large group of people appeared from the left and
the right side of the street . They approached and surrounded Jiang Chen and
the two women .
"Manager Tang, what's going on?" someone said .
"They inquired about the furnace, but are not going to buy it . And they
threatened to kill me," the manager said in anger .
"You don't know the rules here? Which desolate land are you from?!"
Obviously, it wasn't the first time the shop had done this . Otherwise these
people wouldn't have come so fast .
"What can a mob change by shouting here?!" Ji Yinyi said disdainfully .
Then she walked ahead immediately .
There were Spiritual Venerables among those people, but of course they were
small before a Celestial Venerable .
Seeing Ji Yinyi so aggressive, these hooligan-like practicers retreated
involuntarily .
"Did you just call my friends mob?"
At this moment, a man over six feet six inches tall appeared from nowhere .
Both Ji Yinyi and Jiang Chen were surprised by his sudden appearance, since

there was no way they had failed to notice such a tall man .
"Jiang Chen, you caused all this . Don't you wanna say something?" Ji Ruxue
said .
She had been unhappy with Jiang Chen, because he was the reason that she
couldn't get the rose gold furnace . By then the situation had worsened to that
extent, but Jiang Chen just stayed silent . She felt even more annoyed by him .
Jiang Chen felt there was something strange, but he had to come forward first
because of what Ji Ruxue had said .
"Are you forcing us to buy your stuff?" he said .
"Are we?" The tall Celestial Venerable found it funny .
Despite his aggressive look, Jiang Chen gave him a stare . He said, "Well, I'm
not surprised . There is nothing to expect from Beiwang City . Even a Celestial
Venerable is doing such a low-end thing . "
His word made everyone feel complicated .
The shop manager and the tall Celestial Venerable sized up Jiang Chen,
trying to figure out who he was .
Putting his disposition aside, there was nothing noteworthy in the way he
dressed .
However, some young masters from big forces liked to dress this way in the
Three Middle Realms . They pretended they were nobody to make fun of
others .
"If you don't want to buy it, just don't buy it, but why did you say my stuff
wasn't good? It's not right . Now who else will buy it? Isn't it normal that I
charge you 10% of the price as compensation?" the shop manager said .
"What? Are you expecting your customers to commend your stuff no matter
it's good or bad?" Jiang Chen felt he had heard a big joke .
"I'm not expecting that . But are you really able to tell good stuff from bad
ones? Or you just don't want to spend the money? I really doubt it . "
The manager pushed the rose gold furnace to the entrance of the shop so
that everyone could see it .
"This furnace is designed by Master Tao from the Elixir Association . I hired the
best craftsman to build it . But what did you say? Showy but not practical . I
would like to ask you how it's showy but not practical?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said, "If you don't see how it's showy but
not practical, it's just a waste of time talking with you . "
"It doesn't make sense at all!" The manager flew into a rage . His face flushed
due to anger and anxiety .
"How silvery-tongued!" The tall Celestial Venerable took a step forward, ready
to give Jiang Chen a lesson .
"Bring it on, if you want to die . "
Ji Yinyi stood in front of Jiang Chen to protect him, holding a sharp sword in
hand .
"Hold on!"
At swords' points, a youngster walked fast out of the wooden building of the
Elixir Association .
Nervous-looking, he came up to them extremely quickly .
"What's going on?" He was sharp and well-featured, but he was neither good-
looking nor ugly . There was nothing impressive about him .
"Young Master Xuan . "
The manager and the tall Celestial Venerable showed him lots of respect .
Young Master Xuan didn't respond to their greeting . Looking at Ji Yinyi in a
caring way, he said, "Miss Ji, didn't I tell you to send someone to inform me of
your arrival, so that I can entertain you?"
"I'm really sorry, Young Master Xuan . I didn't know she was your friend . Well,
let's forget about this!"
The manager ran up to him with small quick steps to apologize to him .
Those people who had surrounded Jiang Chen and the two women also
scattered .
