Chapter 554: Chapter 158 Selling Alcohol_1

Qin Shou wasn’t just cursing for the sake of cursing, but he had realized that while the Asura Clan indeed possessed exceptional combat skills, their minds seemed to be somewhat lacking!

Yesterday, a bunch of fools almost killed each other over a cup of liquor!

Today, another fool let down his guard for a plate of food, didn’t he fear that there might be a trap to kill him here?

The burly man was startled and glanced at the rabbit, "Rabbit, I saw you, why are you getting so worked up? Besides, isn’t this stuff laid out for me to eat?"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes, "Are you blind? What does the flag say, can’t you see?"

"Mysterious Merchant, what about it?" the burly man asked.

Qin Shou said, "A Mysterious Merchant is still a merchant! I, myself, have laid out these items, naturally, they’re for sale."

The burly man nonchalantly said, "For sale, I bought it, isn’t it still for me to eat then? Come on, name your price! I want that biggest bird leg!"

Qin Shou glanced at the large bird leg and nodded, "Fine, one Magic in exchange for a plate of food or a cup of drink."

"What? One Magic for a plate of food? Why don’t you just rob me?" the burly man flared up.

Qin Shou, unafraid, said indifferently, "I, myself, am a friend of the Nether River Patriarch, naturally, I wouldn’t stoop to such lowly acts like robbery. The price is clear, fair to young and old. Take it or leave it; if not, beat it!"

The burly man’s eyes widened as he looked at Qin Shou, and after a long while he finally said, "You’re that friend mentioned by the Patriarch?"

Qin Shou nodded.

The burly man scratched his head and said, "Alright, I’ll use Water Floating in exchange for that bird leg, how about that?"

Qin Shou looked at the burly man as one would look at a fool, "Why don’t you exchange it for ’Ride the Cloud, Drive the Mist’? You still have some shame, right?"

The burly man’s face turned red.

Qin Shou said, "Lan Sha was just here; he exchanged the Path of Water Mirror for a cup of fine wine. If what you offer can’t match that, then you’d better beat it early."

The burly man was stunned, then asked in amazement, "That fool Lan Sha actually traded the Path of Water Mirror for a cup of liquor with you?"

Qin Shou smiled faintly, tacitly confirming, then said, "Big guy, if you want to buy, then hurry up and bring out the Magic. If not, stand aside. If you aren’t buying, no point in making so much useless talk, I don’t have time to play with you."

Having said that, Qin Shou closed his eyes and completely ignored the burly man.

The burly man let out a dry laugh and said, "Keep bluffing, continue bluffing! We Asura are indeed straightforward, but definitely not fools! I really want to see if you can sell any of this stuff!"

So, the burly man sat directly opposite Qin Shou, arms folded, waiting to have the last laugh at Qin Shou’s expense.

Two hours passed, and there was not a stir in the surroundings.

The burly man chuckled, "Rabbit, seems like your business isn’t doing too hot."

Qin Shou ignored him and kept his eyes closed, his thoughts inscrutable.

Another two hours passed by.

Just as the burly man was about to mock once more, he suddenly heard someone exclaim, "The Mysterious Merchant? I? Haha... uh..."

The laughter abruptly ceased, then a shadowy figure sneakily ran over, and upon seeing Qin Shou, immediately said, "I, I heard Lan Sha exchanged a Magic for just one cup of liquor with you, is that true?"

Qin Shou didn’t speak, only nodded.

The figure said, "Then I’ll exchange my Magic with you, is that okay?"

Qin Shou continued nodding.

The figure thought for a moment and said, "I’m skilled with As The Shadow. I’ll trade you the Follow the Shadow skill in exchange for it, how’s that?"

Having said that, the figure vanished in front of Qin Shou in a flash.

Qin Shou looked around, but couldn’t spot where the person had gone.

At that moment, the voice of the man rang out from behind Qin Shou, "I’m right behind you."

Qin Shou turned around, yet there was still no one there!

With a frown, Qin Shou transformed into three heads and six arms, looking all around, and still, there was no one!

But the next moment, his vision blurred and the man appeared in front of Qin Shou once again.

Witnessing this scene, Qin Shou realized the man who seemed thin and unremarkable indeed had some skill, so he pointed to a cup of wine and said, "It’s exchanged."

The man chuckled and handed Qin Shou a Soul Wood Slip. Qin Shou slapped it, and a black light flew from the slip into his glabella. Qin Shou didn’t bother with the stranger anymore and dived into his sea of knowledge to start reading.

Follow the Shadow: Like a shadow, always lurking in the blind spot, waiting for the fatal strike!

This magic wasn’t profound but extremely practical. More importantly, it was an application of the Path of Shadows. Qin Shou had some understanding of the Path of Shadows, so he grasped a general idea of it with just one glance. However, to use it would require more time and contemplation.

At the same time, Qin Shou also realized that magic which he had a foundation in would be more useful to him!

Thereupon, Qin Shou silently took stock of what he knew, and then he distressingly discovered that he seemed not to know much of anything...

By the time Qin Shou opened his eyes again, the skinny man had disappeared, and one cup of wine was missing from the table.

The muscular man, seeing this, said with a furrowed brow, "There really are such fools..."

Qin Shou ignored him and continued sitting there, waiting.

After a while, a familiar figure appeared before Qin Shou—it was none other than Lan Sha!

Upon seeing him, Qin Shou felt a bit uneasy. He had bragged to Lan Sha in the morning that the wine could help Lan Sha break through his power barrier. But only Qin Shou himself knew the wine was utterly useless.

Now seeing Lan Sha again, even with his thick skin, Qin Shou felt a bit embarrassed.

Just then, Lan Sha exclaimed joyfully, "It’s you, Sect Hierarch!"

Qin Shou gave a dry laugh and replied, "Ah, hello."

Lan Sha nodded and then frowned, "Sect Hierarch, I drank your wine this morning and it didn’t seem to have any effect."

Qin Shou’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, this is trouble. I shouldn’t have bragged so much...

The muscular man overheard and smiled broadly, saying nothing, but his eyes were filled with disdain.

And Qin Shou... his face was the picture of awkwardness...

At that moment, Lan Sha burst into hearty laughter, then bowed to Qin Shou, saying, "Sect Hierarch, though one cup of wine had no effect, after downing that entire jug, I actually did have a breakthrough! I can’t thank you enough! If there’s anything you command, just say the word, and I, Lan Sha, will do whatever I can to help."

In that instant, both Qin Shou and the muscular man were stunned.

The muscular man glanced at Qin Shou, Qin Shou glanced back at the muscular man, and then Qin Shou gave a mysterious smile, lifting his chin slightly with utmost pride.

The muscular man, however, was utterly confounded, muttering, "Breaking through by drinking wine? What nonsense is this?"

His voice wasn’t loud, but Lan Sha’s hearing was exceptionally sharp. Hearing those words, he immediately took offense, turned sharply to the muscular man, and said, "Nonsense? Although I, Lan Sha, may not be much of a figure, as a member of the Asura Clan, I scorn to lie! Besides, I’m not the only one who had a breakthrough from drinking wine."

"Someone else had a breakthrough from drinking wine?" The muscular man was genuinely shocked this time.

Lan Sha glanced at Qin Shou, as if asking something.

Qin Shou just smiled slightly, staying silent, continuing to play it mysterious.
