Chapter 1175: Price Gouging
Before long, the two arrived at a bustling commercial street lined with shops and filled with lively activity.
Dao Lord Taichu and Liu Xue entered an equipment shop that specialized in selling weapons.
Several vendors inside were calling out as they sold all kinds of weapons, forged by Cultivators themselves—swords, sabers, spears, and more.
"What kind of weapon are you looking to buy?" A burly man in armor warmly approached Dao Lord Taichu and Liu Xue when he saw them enter.
"What weapons do you have? Bring them out for me to see," Dao Lord Taichu said blandly.
"These are all top-grade spirit treasure weapons. As long as you can afford the price, we have every kind of weapon you could want."
Dao Lord Taichu nodded and carefully examined the weapons.
"This saber is not bad. It is three feet and eight inches long, and its sheath bears the image of a War God." Dao Lord Taichu praised it a few times before picking up the saber and weighing it in his hand.
"Not bad. I'll take this one. How much?"
"Fifty thousand Spirit Stones!" the burly man said, opening his mouth like a lion.
"Are you robbing us?!" Liu Xue flew into a rage. This was outright price gouging.
The burly man laughed. "You wrong Old Zhu with those words. I don't have such a big appetite. I'm charging according to market prices. If you think it's too expensive, I can ask someone else."
"You..." Liu Xue was about to lose her temper when Dao Lord Taichu stopped her.
"Heh, if that is the case, then I won't be buying this weapon. Farewell!"
Dao Lord Taichu turned and left the shop with Liu Xue.
Once they were back on the street, Dao Lord Taichu smiled.
