Chapter 239

Behavior of the Two People
Translated by Rara

The one who was in control of renting out booths at Dao Xin Academy was called Elder Wan. Elder Wan was famous for being strict. Anybody who wanted to rent a booth from him could only do so by following the academy’s regulations. People who wanted to get a booth through the backdoor should think twice, or else when he found out about it, he would never let that person rent another booth. So even the disciples from the big clans would never take the risk.

However, the rental price for both of the booths at the bazaar were so expensive, just like the most popular booths in the area that sold magic pills, which You XiaoMo saw before. Each booth unexpectedly cost a hundred points per day. When he heard the digit numbers, You XiaoMo was stunned.

A hundred points per day, that means he has to sell around thirty Yuanyang pills and Huoxue pills to get profit, because he had to include the cost of the magic herbs that needed to be refined too.

But for those big forces, they might sell more than thirty magic pills per day.

First, they have many people; they probably joined together to refine the magic pills. Second, there are many people who come and go through that bazaar, so there would be many people passing by and coming to their booth. Selling fifty or a hundred magic pills would be a piece of cake for them.

You XiaoMo realized he wouldn’t be able to do that. Nevermind the possibility of whether he could sell thirty pills or not, he would be deathly tired if he had to refine magic pills day and night. So there was no way he could afford this bazaar, he couldn’t even dream of having it.

The rest of the booths prices were getting cheaper and cheaper, like some booths at the corner that he had his eyes on. Because that place was really not eye-catching, they wouldn’t even know whether they could sell one magic pill, so many people were not interested in that place. Therefore, the rent price was exceptionally low, only two points per day. Of course, he still has to look for Elder Wan to inquire about this.

For now, he still hasn’t refined anything, and still didn’t know how many days he wanted to rent for. So he has to make a plan first and then come again. At any rate, he wasn’t afraid that the booth would be rented out a few days later.

After that, You XiaoMo accompanied Ling Xiao to look for a small pavilion. Ling Xiao didn’t have any specific requirements like the environment for distilling magic pills, but he doesn’t like to live with a stranger in the pavilion, even if they have separate rooms. That’s why he was quite extravagant and rented a private small pavilion which cost twelve points a day.

The one who is in charge of renting Block One houses was an elder with surname Gong. He was a senile old man with greyish hair. But anyone who could become an elder at Dao Xin Academy, wouldn’t be as simple as he looked.

When he heard they want to rent a private small pavilion, Elder Gong raised up his drooping eyelids, revealing his eyes that were full of vitality. His sight fell onto You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao, and then he grabbed his brush and said, “What is your name?”

Ling Xiao said, “Ling Xiao.”

Elder Gong paused his hand that was writing before, and then finally looked at him again, “Are you THAT Ling Xiao, the one who defeated Sun Zhe?”

From that kind of tone, he obviously already knew what had happened not long ago, it was clear that their duel has already spread.

Ling Xiao rubbed his nose while laughing, “Yes.”

Elder Gong looked at his laughing face, and lightly said, “It is a good thing for young people to be confident about themselves, but you also have to know on how to remain modest and keep your cool.”
