Chapter 264 - 264 Buying the shop (1/2)

This time, it was Shun Long's turn to get shocked.

Although 2 million low-grade spirit stones wasn't too high a price for him, it was obvious that the shop in front of him wasn't worth even half of that.

Even the door was destroyed while the walls were filled with holes.

The floor itself was creaking when someone stepped on it, and even the windows near the entrance were already broken.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Shun Long shook his head before he said with a serious look on his face

''Old man, there is no way that I will pay 2 million low-grade spirit stones for this run-down shop. At most I can give you 200.000.''

The old man's eyes bulged instantly when he heard Shun Long's words, and looking like a cat that had its tail stepped, he hurriedly responded

''Are you crazy? The store is in one of the 5 best streets of the northern part of the 'City of Sin'! Don't tell me that you haven't noticed how bustling this street is! Although 2 million may have been a lot, it is certainly worth it!''

Shaking his head, Shun Long pointed at the half-destroyed door and the broken windows at the entrance of the shop as he said

''It is worth it? Not only are the walls filled with holes, but the door is about to fall off as well, while the windows are also destroyed.

Although the street is indeed busy, there is no one who will choose to come to this shop unless everything is fixed.''

The old man's eyes suddenly looked at the walls of the shop, before he gulped his saliva audibly.

He couldn't argue that the shop was in a half-destroyed state.

Nodding his head, the old man looked at Shun Long and raised his forefinger as he responded

''One million! Although you will have to pay some spirit stones to repair the shop, it is still a beneficial deal for you! Besides, the shop has a second floor where you can soundly rest as well!''

Shun Long looked at the old man and shook his head before he added

''A beneficial deal? Old man, don't forget that you are a peak rank 2 Spirit realm cultivator, and yet you were still forced to pay protection money weren't you?

Otherwise, your shop wouldn't have ended like this in the 'City of Sin'!

If someone had a grudge with you they would have come and kill you directly instead of simply breaking down your shop.

Doesn't that mean that I will have to deal with those people once I buy the shop?''

Although Shun Long wasn't afraid of dealing with people who would ask for protection money, he wasn't willing to purchase this shop for an exorbitant price.

Even though he had enough money to spare, spending 1 million low-grade spirit stones for a single run-down shop and having to deal with the aftermath of the troubles that would follow, simply wasn't worth it.

The old man gritted his teeth and raised 5 fingers as he said determinedly

''500.000 low-grade spirit stones! This is my bottom line!

I am not willing to sell if it's any lower than this!''

Shun Long thought seriously for a bit before he eventually nodded his head.

The old man smiled brightly when he saw Shun Long's response, and taking out a small white scroll, he passed it over to him in a hurry, as he eagerly waited to get his money.
