Chapter 418: Are you being stubborn?

"The reason I used an entire soul pill to exchange for hell coins is because I need hell coins for more places, not just for customizing four sets of skin suits," Yang Haoran explained with a smile.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Meijing glanced at Yang Haoran, but her footsteps did not stop.

"What do you think about opening a shop in this underworld?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Xu Meijing's footsteps paused, and her brow slightly furrowed as she looked at Yang Haoran again.

"So, you've been thinking about this."Xu Meijing said indifferently.

The reason Yang Haoran used an entire soul pill to exchange for hell coins was to accumulate enough wealth to open his own shop in the underworld.

Although pure yin qi is highly popular in the underworld and can be used as currency, hell coins are also an indispensable part. To open a shop, having sufficient hell coins is a must.

This time, he not only used a soul pill to obtain hell coins, but he will likely need to use even more soul pills to exchange for hell coins in the future.

As for why he wants to open a shop in the underworld, the reason is simple. In the underworld, soul pills can be exchanged for hell coins, and hell coins can also be used to buy soul pills. As long as he can successfully become wealthy by opening a shop, he will have a powerful channel to quickly obtain soul pills and boost his cultivation.

Currently, he has no interest in the New Genesis Coin from the mortal realm, as the amount of it cannot serve as a boost to his cultivation. However, hell coins are different. In the underworld, he can not only use hell coins to buy the things he needs, but also soul pills, which the New Genesis Coin cannot even begin to compare with.

It is precisely because hell coins can bring him many benefits that he has the idea of opening a shop in the underworld. With his wealth growing, he can rapidly enhance his own cultivation.

"What do you think of this idea?" Yang Haoran asked Xu Meijing with a smile.

Xu Meijing hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head, withdrawing her gaze from Yang Haoran and resuming her steps.

"Not good."

Xu Meijing's response was straightforward. Yang Haoran caught up with Xu Meijing's pace and asked with a smile, "Why?"

"As far as I know, opening a shop in the underworld is not a simple matter. As for how difficult it is, I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard from Boss Huo that it's very difficult. You're a newcomer without connections or financial resources. What qualifications do you have to open a shop in the underworld?"

Yang Haoran thought for a moment before responding to Xu Meijing.

"I still want to give it a try, but I won't do this blindly. I need some time to lay the groundwork, to settle things down. This process may take a while."

Hearing this, Xu Meijing stomped her feet angrily, and her gritted teeth expression made it seem like she wanted to strangle Yang Haoran.

"After all that talk, it turns out I'm just talking to a brick wall. I don't care anymore, do whatever you want. When you fall into the pit, don't come calling me to pull you out, I don't have the money to fish you out."

Xu Meijing gave Yang Haoran a look of exasperation and disappointment, then quickened her pace and left.

Yang Haoran sighed wryly, without further explanation, and quickened his own pace to catch up with her.

As for opening a shop in the underworld, Yang Haoran did not change his decision because of Xu Meijing's words, but he indeed would not do it blindly, as her points were quite reasonable.

Not to mention that he currently lacked the funds. Even if he had the money, blindly investing in it, the result would most likely be the same as what Xu Meijing described - he would end up losing everything.

So he needed to spend some time laying the groundwork. Only when all the conditions were met would he start to act.

As for how long this groundwork would take, he didn't have a clear estimate in his mind, but he absolutely would not act blindly before the preparations were successful.

After some time, the two arrived back at Yuan's Skin Emporium. During the walk, Xu Meijing had ignored Yang Haoran the entire time, sulking with a gloomy expression. Yang Haoran tried his best to cheer her up, but to no avail, leaving him feeling quite helpless.

Back at Yuan's Skin Emporium, it was naturally to finalize the order for the four skin vessels. Now that he had the funds, he naturally wanted to get this taken care of.

After entering the store, they were greeted by the same Female Shopkeeper as before. Yang Haoran explained his purpose, and using his Yin spirit power, he visualized the bodily forms of the four people. The Female Shopkeeper then recorded the specifications using a special device. After paying the deposit, Yang Haoran left the store together with Xu Meijing.

Outside the Yuan's Skin Emporium, Yang Haoran had originally planned to contact Master Jiang, but seeing Xu Meijing's gloomy mood, he decided to take her out for a stroll and have some fun instead, to help lift her spirits.

Xu Meijing was initially unwilling, but after Yang Haoran's persistent persuasion, she finally agreed to go with him.
