My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Chapter 303

Elder Sun was Elder Sun after all. He didn't need time afterwards, he reacted right there.

He realized that he had been affected by Qin Ran's righteous and reasonable bargaining, and felt that his own outrageously high price was problematic and that following the market price was the right thing to do.

But now he realized one thing, that was...on what basis was Qin Ran being arrogant to him?

In the entire North Chu Country, the only one who could buy large quantities of elixirs was Zhican Valley, just them, no one else, if you Qin Ran felt that Zhican Valley's prices were problematic, then go buy them somewhere else!

Elder Sun finally understood that his conscience had not yet dissipated, and that deep down in his heart there still remained some good social values.

This was very problematic, and needed to be corrected in a timely manner.

"Elder Qin, I feel that just now..." He decided to say something to make up for the loss.

"Elder Sun!" But Qin Ran spoke up to interrupt his words, directly handing him an account book, not giving him time to speak, and saying to himself, "We just settled on, this batch of elixirs will be traded at 60% of the price. This is the account book I have prepared, please take a look to see if there are any issues."

Elder Sun subconsciously took the account book, and was just about to open it to take a look, but he immediately reacted, and couldn't help losing color in fright: "How terrifying Elder Qin is!"

He had been influenced by Qin Ran again unconsciously, he was still under Qin Ran's pace, still being led by the nose by Qin Ran. His entire behavior and actions were being controlled by Qin Ran without realizing it.

And the reason Elder Sun found it terrifying was still because Qin Ran accomplished this not through using any illusory techniques or mystic arts, but only through words.

Elder Sun hurriedly collected his facial expression, suppressed the waves in his heart, casually flipped open the account book and started reading it.

And without reading much, he couldn't help it anymore. He suddenly raised his head, stared at Qin Ran and asked loudly: "Wasn't it supposed to be 60%? How come it's 60% of market price?!"

"Huh?" Qin Ran was startled for a moment, and asked, "Wasn't it supposed to be 60% of market price?"

"It's..." Elder Sun hesitated for a moment, suppressing the fire in his heart, and slowly enunciated, "60% of previous prices!"

"Oh oh! That's right, that's how it is!" Only then did Qin Ran understand what Elder Sun meant. He took the account book back from Elder Sun's hands, then took out another account book from his Cosmic Bag, handed it to Elder Sun, and laughed, "Then it should be this account book, take a look to see if it's right." Elder Sun took the new account book and carefully looked through it, only relaxing after confirming it was 60% of previous prices...

Relax his a**!

As he looked at the account book, looking and looking, he suddenly raised his head in fright, looking at Qin Ran. Qin Ran had a faint smile. Then he looked again at the account book in his hands.

When was it? When was this account book prepared? Was it prepared in advance?!

Could it be that Qin Ran had long calculated that he would eventually compromise down to 60%?

And he even had the leisure to prepare two account books, one with 60% of market price, and one with 60% of previous prices?

Could it be everything was within Qin Ran's calculations?!!!

He slapped the account book shut, unable to stop his heart palpitations......what kind of opponent was he facing?

"What do you think? Elder Sun, any issues with the account book?" Seeing him close the account book, Qin Ran hurriedly asked with a smile.

Elder Sun again spent great effort to suppress his palpitations and regain his calm. He looked at Qin Ran and nodded, "No issues."

"Then I can rest assured," Qin Ran seemed truly concerned for Elder Sun.

Afterwards, on the way to the building storing the elixirs, the entire group spoke no more words. The atmosphere was rather oppressive.

At the building storing the elixirs, still the usual place, Qin Ran went forward to inspect the elixirs, inspected them all, confirmed there were no mistakes, before handing over the spirit stones to Elder Sun, and hanging the temporary Cosmic Bag at his own waist.

With the transaction completed, it was natural to leave.

Elder Sun sent off Qin Ran, and afterwards secretly calculated in his heart, compared to trading with Jian Yuanjie previously, he said he lost no less than a million spirit stones this time.

(Note: When Elder Sun traded with Jian Yuanjie, first, the pricing was fixed, this price was mostly based on the market peak; second, what Elder Sun sold to Jian Yuanjie were inferior quality elixirs, inferior elixirs were very cheap.)

His heart was bleeding, and at the same time he made up his mind to get rid of Qin Ran as soon as possible.

"This brat cannot be left alive for long!"

"Sigh!"

But he didn't know that after leaving Zhican Valley, Qin Ran also sighed.

"Why does Sect Leader sigh?" Yan Yi spoke up and asked. After experiencing this business trip, Yan Yi's mentality had gone through a round of tempering, and now, his entire being had some fortitude within.

Qin Ran shook his head, not answering him. Because Qin Ran resented that his previous lazy self didn't carefully study Das Kapital, and couldn't let someone like Elder Sun witness the horror of capital, that monster.

"Sect Leader, I don't understand." Qin Ran remained silent, but Yan Yi looked at his back and raised his own doubts, "Why did you know that Elder Sun would give us a 40% discount?"

Yan Yi watched the entire process of Qin Ran bargaining with Elder Sun, and was awed by Qin Ran's godlike performance.

"I didn't know at all." However, this was Qin Ran's reply.

"Then why..." Yan Yi didn't understand.

Qin Ran suddenly took out a thick stack of account books from his Cosmic Bag and handed them to Yan Yi, laughing, "I only prepared the corresponding account books for all possibilities."

"All...all?!" Holding the heavy account books, Yan Yi was completely dumbfounded.

"I'm giving you these account books to study..." Qin Ran patted Yan Yi on the shoulder encouragingly, "Among them, for the same type of account book I made four copies. One is the normal type to show Elder Sun and the others, one is the bookkeeping method I taught you, comparing them will help you learn faster."

"Oh, oh..." Yan Yi was too shocked, to the point he couldn't speak, only knew to nod.

No more words the rest of the way, and the two did not encounter any bandits either, safely returning to Dao Sword Sect.

Qin Ran went again to hand over the spirit stones and elixirs, completing this procurement task.

At the Chief Finance Hall, Chief Finance Elder held an account book in one hand, and spirit stones that were returned but stored inside a Cosmic Bag in the other, seeing off Qin Ran leaving until he reached the doors of the Chief Finance Hall. He somewhat doubted life itself.

"40% discount?" He asked himself again softly, "Is it possible?"

Since when did Zhican Valley become so easy to talk to? How could the price just drop so drastically out of nowhere?

"This is..." He first eliminated the possibility that Jian Yuanjie was a traitor, then logically reached an obvious incorrect conclusion. He suspected,

"Could it be the elixirs the Chief Alchemy Elder purchased are inferior goods? Or is it that Zhican Valley gave Elder Qin special preferential treatment... Did Elder Qin betray the sect?"

He was shocked: "I must hurry and tell the Sect Leader to deal with Elder Qin as soon as possible."
