No Way Anyone Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 40: Borrowing Money

In the Drunken Immortal Inn, on the second floor…

After the shopkeeper’s constant rejection, only then did Chu Yuan give up on the idea of letting the shopkeeper open a branch at the foot of Sky Mist Mountain.

He had no choice.

The shopkeeper had even put a knife to his neck to reject him.

Looking at the table of delicacies before him, Chu Yuan mumbled as he ate, “What a pity. I thought I would be able to go down the mountain to eat every day in the future. This way, the disciples in the sect wouldn’t have to worry about eating and drinking…”

The shopkeeper, who was waiting at the side, almost fell down due to carelessness and took a deep breath. He was glad that he was decisive just now and held a knife to his neck. Otherwise, he would probably be preparing to open a branch now.

What would happen if this shameless elder went to this new branch every day to freeload?

How could he run his business like that?

At this rate, he was just waiting for his business to go bankrupt.

The shopkeeper rejoiced.

Chu Yuan, who was sitting at the table, didn’t think too much about it. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he prepared to get straight to the point.

“Shopkeeper, I didn’t come here to drink and chat with you. I just wanted to ask you something, and I will be leaving. I chose to ask you because I know that you are well-informed,” Chu Yuan said with a smile, looking amiable.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately perked up.

You are going to leave after asking me something? You are not going to freeload in my inn and sleep here overnight!?

The shopkeeper instantly became a lackey and answered with a laugh, “Boss, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! I will tell you everything I know!

“Even if I don’t know anything, I can still find someone else to ask around. My Drunken Immortal Inn is the place that is the most well-informed. No matter what news it is, as long as I ask around a little, I will definitely find out about it!”

He was a completely different person from previously.

Chu Yuan put down his chopsticks and said slowly, “I want to know where the weaker weapons are sold. I want to purchase them in bulk.”

Weaker weapons?

Weapon? Are you sure you are not looking for Dharma treasures?

Shouldn’t bigshots play with Dharma treasures?

The shopkeeper was stunned.

However, Chu Yuan waved his hand casually and said again, “It’s fine, it’s fine. If you can’t think of it now, think about it slowly. I’m not in a hurry. Waiter, serve some more dishes.”

When the shopkeeper saw that Chu Yuan had ordered another pile of dishes, the smile on his face disappeared.

If he was in the Nascent Soul stage and the person in front of him was a mortal, then he would definitely pull out this person’s soul and place it back, then pull it out and put it back again, repeating this process infinitely…

He had never seen such a despicable mighty figure in his entire life.

He had thought of something new today.

Do you think you can get information out of me acting like this?

You are probably dreaming.

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, and a plan formulated in his head.

Didn’t you not want Dharmic treasures?

Fine, I’ll find you a tiger’s den and see if you’ll lose half your life there!

The shopkeeper thought to himself and smiled.

“I got it! I got it! Boss, you want weapons, right? I know a good place that will definitely satisfy you!” the shopkeeper answered with a smile.

However, this smile… It looked sinister.

Chu Yuan, on the other hand, did not notice the shopkeeper’s smile. He raised his brows and asked again, “Are you sure you’ve thought of it already? I want weapons. You know what weapons are, right? The mass-produced kind. Do you understand?”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, “Of course I do.”

Does this guy really understand what I am talking about?

Chu Yuan asked in confusion, “So, where can I roughly find what I need?”

“It’s like this, big boss. If you walk east of Silvermoon City, you’ll reach a lake. That lake is very big and very conspicuous. As long as you reach it, you’ll definitely be able to see it. There’s a blacksmith shop beside the lake. An old man lives in the blacksmith shop. He’s famous for forging weapons. He can forge for you any weapon you want.”

The shopkeeper’s tone was slightly bewitching.

In reality, there was indeed a blacksmith shop beside a lake on the east side of Silvermoon City.

However, a reclusive expert with a bad temper was living there. If he met someone fated, perhaps that expert would forge a Dharma treasure or divine weapon for them. However, most people would definitely return empty-handed.

Furthermore, if one angered that hidden expert, one might even lose their life.

He wanted this shameless Nascent Soul cultivator to go over.

Given this fellow’s shamelessness, there would definitely be some disputes. If this guy was accidentally slapped to death, the shopkeeper would jump up in joy on the spot.

Chu Yuan, who was sitting at the side, did not know what the shopkeeper had in mind. He listened to the shopkeeper and nodded thoughtfully.

Chu Yuan said slowly, “That may be so, but shopkeeper, I am in dire need of help. Why don’t I borrow some gold from you to use first? I’m a little short on cash, and I’m afraid I can’t buy anything.”

From what he thought, weapons would not be as cheap as the fake manuals he had previously bought.

The last time he had bought those books, he had spent eight taels of silver.

If he was looking for a weapon this time round, eight taels would probably not even be able to buy him a pile of scrap metal.

He did not have much money on him.

He couldn’t possibly pawn his clothes for money, right?

The shopkeeper forced a smile and waved his hand. “It’s not a big deal. Isn’t it just gold? How much do you want? Consider it my sponsorship.”

Spending some gold to make this person disappear? The shopkeeper felt that it was very worth it!

Since the shopkeeper had agreed, Chu Yuan’s eyes lit up again.

“Thank you. Lend me 1,000,000 gold coins first!”

“1,000,000? Gold?”

“You don’t have it? Then I’ll give you a discount. 999,999 gold coins then.”

“Boss, do you know your math?”

“Of course I do.”

“Let’s do it this way. Boss, I’ll give you a plan. Slap the people in this city to death and say that it was me who had instructed you to do so. Then, wait for the government to issue a bounty before killing me to receive the reward. Only then might you get the gold you need.”

“This method is not bad. I think it is feasible. Furthermore, by doing this, all your money now will be mine, as well as the reward money. Killing two birds with one stone. Not bad, not bad…”

“…”

In the end, Chu Yuan and the shopkeeper continued to argue.

The shopkeeper gave Chu Yuan 100,000 gold coins and a pile of silk…

Hence, a strange scene occurred.

Chu Yuan, who did not have any storage Dharma treasures, held a huge treasure chest in his hands and carried tens of thousands of feet of silk on his back.

Chu Yuan looked at his own attire and also felt strange.

Yes, he really agreed to that.

Even if I hold a golden treasure chest and carry silk on my back, I, Chu Yuan, am still invincible in this world…
