Chapter 109 Negotiation and Threat
Looking at the cat demon in front of him, Gu Yuchuan was unsure of her intentions. In fact, quite a few people had come to his door in the past few days, some to inquire about information, some to buy things in advance, and some to seek cooperation. However, Gu Yuchuan clearly sensed that this woman was not that kind of person; she harbored malice.
He became more cautious, and the Golden Light Mantra was activated even faster, as if he were ready to make a move at any moment. However, he would absolutely not make a move unless the other party made a move or showed any malice.
He looked at the other person and made his tone more normal: "That's right, I am the weapon refiner here, the Azure Scale Demon General, Gu Yuchuan. May I ask what your name is, fellow Daoist? What brings you here today? If you are here to buy something, please come back in a few days, as this place is not open yet."
The other person's eyes held a scrutinizing gaze. She cleared her throat and said, "Listen carefully, I am Bi Xian Yao Jiang, a weapon refiner from the Weapon Refiner Alliance. I am here today on behalf of our alliance to tell you a few things."
Gu Yuchuan had actually seen this weapon refiner alliance in the simulation. They were very opposed to the establishment of the Linlang Pavilion and had tried various means to stop it, but to no avail. Now that they had finally come in reality, it was as if he had finally put his mind at ease.
Seeing that Gu Yuchuan remained silent, Bi Xian's expression changed considerably, and she became somewhat angry: "Is this how your Linlang Pavilion treats its guests? You just leave them standing at the door like this?"
Gu Yuchuan knew he was an unwelcome guest, but he was still curious to see what she wanted to say. He figured he'd play along. After all, she couldn't defeat him in the simulation, and he was now much stronger than she had been in the simulation. His cultivation and bloodline had both improved, so he would definitely be easier to deal with them.
"Alright, please come in. I was thinking about something and was a little late. Song Chuan, this demon general and I will go up to the private room on the third floor and have some of our finest spiritual tea and fruit."
Since we've met, the level of formality must be appropriate; otherwise, it will make him seem petty and stingy. The worst thing in business is a stingy or miserly demeanor. Only a generous and magnanimous attitude will make people like you.
They strolled leisurely into the elegant pavilion. Along the way, Bi Xian Yao Jiang kept observing the Linglang Pavilion. The shock in her heart was like a raging storm. The decoration was so grand and luxurious. Just from this, one could tell that Gu Yuchuan was very rich. In an instant, she felt that she would not be able to complete the task she had come here for.
After sitting down, Gu Yuchuan didn't speak, but instead drank some spiritual tea. She followed suit and took a sip. It was a second-grade spiritual tea, and the spiritual fruits on the table were also second-grade. It wasn't that she couldn't afford such things, but she would never use them to entertain guests. She did a quick calculation and realized that just these things for entertaining guests would cost a lot in a day at Linlang Pavilion, which further diminished her confidence.
Seeing that the other party was not speaking and was just eating the spirit fruit, Gu Yuchuan's expression turned a little ugly. "Good boy, you're the greedy girl, aren't you? You just eat without saying a word."
"What brings you here today, Fairy Bixian? Please speak plainly. My time is rather tight, and I really don't have much time to spend here."
Bi Xian Demon General's face flushed slightly. She realized that her behavior just now was a bit inappropriate, but she quickly calmed herself down: "Alright, then I'll get straight to the point and won't beat around the bush with you. Let me ask you first, did you get permission from my Refiner Alliance to set up a shop to sell magical artifacts?"
Gu Yuchuan laughed immediately: "Oh? The Refiner Alliance, what's that? I've never heard of it. Is it some kind of official organization?"
Bi Xian Yao Jiang stood up, her face full of arrogance: "Listen carefully, our Refiner Alliance has five level-two refiners. It is the holy land for all refiners on the outskirts of Yunhai Marsh. All matters of refining are under our jurisdiction. You have already broken the taboo. I advise you to behave yourself."
Gu Yuchuan continued to feign ignorance: "Ah, is that so? But the Black Shark Demon King didn't tell me. I'll go find the Black Shark Demon King right now and have him handle this matter."
How could the Jade Fairy dare to let him go? She immediately stopped him: "How about this, I'll give you a chance. As long as you do as I say, I'll allow you to join our Weapon Refiner Alliance. With our alliance backing you, your shop's business will definitely improve a lot."
Gu Yuchuan was inwardly complaining, but outwardly he wanted to hear what kind of outlandish conditions the other party had: "Then tell me."
Upon hearing this, the Fairy General Bi Xian remained aloof. She knew that the other party must both fear and yearn for them: "Alright, firstly, you must hand over the profits of your shop to one level. Secondly, you will have the right to set prices, and you cannot sell too cheaply. If you agree to these two points, you can join us."
Gu Yuchuan burst into laughter. This was the funniest joke he'd heard since transmigrating. What a load of rubbish! Go home and dream if you want, don't try to be funny here. You're dreaming too much.
Gu Yuchuan took a deep breath, angered by the other party's shamelessness: "This is your demand? It's outrageous! Are you out of your minds? Do you think I don't know you're a bunch of mediocre people? All of you combined can't even refine as much as I can by myself. What's there to be proud of? You can't even be called second-level weapon refiners. Do you really need my consent? What are you? You dare to ask for this profit? Why don't you go ask the Black Shark Demon King for it? After all, I gave him 10% of the profit. How about we exchange his for yours? Let's see if you can handle it."
Gu Yuchuan's blunt words turned the Jade Fairy General's face pale. He knew he had been toyed with.
"What a snake demon! You are so unrepentant. With your attitude, there's no point in talking anymore. Just remember, your fate is the result of your attitude. Our Refiner Alliance will not let you off easily. Don't beg for mercy on your knees when the time comes."
After saying that, he got up and left. Gu Yuchuan ignored him. What kind of person was he to talk to him like that? As for the other party's revenge, it wasn't that he looked down on them, but that they were really no good. A few not-so-proper level two weapon refiners couldn't cause any trouble. However, Gu Yuchuan still planned to simulate it. Better safe than sorry. It would also be good to cultivate in the simulation and see if he could advance to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. That was the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and the strength would be completely different.
He got up and went to his secluded retreat, but this elegant pavilion was not a place for cultivation.
