Afterwards, Jianchen asked around and arrived at a store that specialized in selling Monster Cores. The store that sold Monster Cores was not small. It was a three-storey building made entirely of bluestone. A signboard with the words "Skywalker Monster Core Store" hung high above the entrance.
Although there were quite a few mercenaries who set up stalls to sell Monster Cores on the Tian Yuan Continent, almost all of them were low level Monster Cores. High level Monster Cores were rarely seen in street stalls. If one wanted to buy high level Monster Cores, they would have to go to some stores. The larger the store, the higher the grade of the Monster Cores they sold.
Moreover, the amount of Monster Cores that could be sold in regular stores was also very large. Unlike some mercenaries who only sold three to five Class 1 and Class 2 Monster Cores, if some influential clans wanted to buy a large amount of Monster Cores, they would basically go to some Monster Core Store to buy them in bulk.
As soon as he entered the Monster Core Store, Jianchen discovered that in such a large store, there were surprisingly not many people. There were also no Monster Cores on display. There were only a dozen or so young female attendants working behind the counter. It did not seem like a place that sold Monster Cores at all.
With some doubts, Jianchen came before a counter and asked, "Is this a place that sells Monster Cores?"
Hearing this, the female attendant sitting behind the counter rolled her eyes at Jianchen. However, when she saw Jianchen's handsome and fair face, a strange light flashed in her eyes. Her gaze also lingered on Jianchen's handsome face for a while before she unhappily said, "Didn't you see the signboard on the entrance? If our Skywalker Monster Core Store is not a place that sells Monster Cores, then what kind of place is it?"
Jianchen awkwardly smiled. His gaze swept across the empty hall and said, "Then why don't you have a single Monster Core on display here?"
Perhaps it was because Jianchen's appearance was irresistibly attractive to most young girls, the waitress smiled.
His eyes stared straight at Jianchen as he patiently explained, "Our Skywalker Magic Nucleus Store only displays high-tier magic nuclei, and they are all on the second and third floors. As for the first floor, only Tier 1 magic nuclei are sold, and Tier 1 magic nuclei are very common, so there is no need to display them."
Hearing this, Jianchen was suddenly enlightened. This was his first time entering a shop that sold magic nuclei. He really didn't know about this before.
At this time, the female attendant continued to ask, "Are you looking to buy magic cores? If you want to buy rank 1 magic cores, just tell me the quantity. If you want to buy rank 2 magic cores, you can only go to the second floor."
Upon hearing this, Jianchen hesitated for a moment before asking, "I'm not buying magical cores. Do you buy magical cores here?"
The waitress stared at Jianchen in surprise and asked in a surprised tone, "What? You're here to sell magic cores? "
"That's right!" Jianchen nodded slightly.
The waitress looked at Jianchen with a strange expression, as if she didn't expect such a handsome young man to be here to sell magic cores instead of buying them. She had been working here this year, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. This was because the people who came here to sell magic cores were all burly men.
However, the waitress didn't look down on Jianchen in the slightest because of this. She still smiled sweetly and said, "We also buy magic cores here. Please give me the magic cores you want to sell!"
Then, Jianchen handed two space belts to the waitress. These two space belts contained rank 1 and rank 2 magic cores.
The waitress took the space belts and began to examine them. However, when she discovered the number of magic cores in the space belts, she couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression. This was because the total number of rank 1 and rank 2 magic cores in these two space belts was close to two thousand. This was the first time she had seen so many magic cores.
Taking a deep breath, the waitress stared at Jianchen's handsome face with a complicated expression and said, "Please wait for a moment, I have to get our shopkeeper."
Then, the waitress handed the space belts back to Jianchen and turned around to go to the second floor. Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a blue brocade robe followed the waitress down from the second floor.
"Shopkeeper Bai, this is the gentleman who wants to sell magic cores." The waitress arrived in front of Jianchen and said to the middle-aged man in the brocade robe.
The middle-aged man called Shopkeeper Bai nodded slightly. He looked at Jianchen with a gentle gaze and said with a smile, "Little brother, can you show me the magic cores you want to sell?"
Jianchen didn't hesitate at all and handed the two space belts to Shopkeeper Bai. Shopkeeper Bai took the two space belts and began to examine them. However, when he discovered the number of magic cores in the two space belts, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"It's rare to see so many Demon Cores being sold at once in Phoenix Sun City." The middle-aged man sighed softly. Then, he looked deeply at Jianchen and smiled, "Little brother, I hope you don't mind me calling you that."
Jianchen smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you should tell me how much these magic cores can be sold for."
"Alright then, please allow me to count them." The middle-aged man smiled and didn't waste any more words. After inviting Jianchen to a secret room specially used to receive important guests, he began to order people to count the magic cores.
When the magic cores were counted, the middle-aged man paid Jianchen a total of more than five thousand purple crystal coins. Jianchen took the five thousand purple crystal coins and walked out of the Sky Traverser Magic Core Store.
Jianchen rode his horse to the crowded market and bought some necessities for survival in the wild, as well as some clothes, in case he needed them in the future.
At this time, a few discussions in the noisy crowd attracted Jianchen's attention.
"It's said that the annual auction will be held in ten days. This time, there will be quite a few valuable items up for auction …"
"Yes, we must go to this auction. Who knows, we might be able to find some treasures …"
"Phoenix Sun City's Heavenly Phoenix Auction House is very famous in this area. Every time the auction is held, many people from other cities will come to participate. It's very lively …"
… …
Hearing the discussions of these people, Jianchen's expression changed slightly. He suddenly had an idea. "Auction house!" Immediately, Jianchen didn't have the mood to continue strolling around. He mounted his horse and asked around. Soon, he arrived at the center of Phoenix Sun City and stopped in front of a huge two-story building.
The building in front of him was very large. Although it only had two stories, its height was already more than ten meters. It was even taller than some four-story restaurants. Moreover, the area it occupied was also very large. Even if it was compared to the Mercenary Guild, it wouldn't be outdone. Above the entrance of the two-story building, there was a three-meter-tall bluestone board hanging high above. The words "Heavenly Phoenix Auction House" were written in flamboyant calligraphy.
At the side of the auction house, there was a side door that many people were going in and out of. Jianchen hesitated for a moment before leaving on his horse. He then went to a restaurant not far from the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House and asked for a room. After tying up his horse, he left.
Jianchen wandered around the vicinity a few times before finally finding a remote place. He then immediately took out some relevant materials and began to disguise himself.
After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Jianchen stood up once again. His appearance had completely changed. At this moment, he looked like a middle-aged man with dark skin. His appearance was very ordinary, and he was the type that could be casually picked out in a crowd. The only unique thing about him was the scar on the left side of his face.
After disguising himself, Jianchen changed into a new set of clothes and walked to the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House. He walked in through the side door. There were many people going in and out of this side door. Now that the annual auction was about to begin, many people had begun to register some of the more precious and diluted items in their hands.
"Sir, may I ask if you want to register any items?"
As soon as he arrived in front of the counter, a woman immediately asked in a sweet voice.
"Can you call the person in charge here? I have something to discuss with him." Jianchen said in a deep voice. This voice was deliberately changed by him.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The woman sized up Jianchen and hesitated for a moment before leaving her post and disappearing behind a door behind her.
Soon, a white-haired old man wearing a luxurious robe followed the woman out. The woman respectfully led the old man in front of Jianchen and said, "Old Mister Huang, this is the mister who is looking for you." She then introduced Jianchen to the old man, "Mister, this is our Heavenly Phoenix Auction House's Senior Appraiser, Old Mister Huang."
Jianchen slightly cupped his hands towards the old man as a form of greeting.
However, his actions were ignored by the old man. The old man sized up Jianchen and directly asked, "Mister, may I know what business you have with me?"
Jianchen glanced at the people around him who were registering their items for auction and said, "Old Mister Huang, I have a valuable item that I need to bring to your auction house. I wonder if Old Mister can step aside and talk to me."
Hearing Jianchen's words, the old man's eyes flashed. Without hesitation, he invited Jianchen to a quiet room.
In a quiet room, Jianchen and the old man sat opposite each other. The room wasn't big, but the soundproofing was good. Moreover, it was completely sealed, so there was no need to worry about anyone looking in from the outside.
"Mister, you should take out the item you want to auction and let this old man have a look." As soon as the two of them sat down, the old man couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, Old Mister Huang, the item I want to auction is in here. However, please keep it a secret for me." Jianchen chuckled and threw a spatial belt on the table in front of him.
"You can rest assured. Our Heavenly Phoenix Auction House is quite famous in the surrounding cities. We will definitely not leak any information about our employer." The old man chuckled. Then, he picked up the spatial belt that Jianchen had placed on the table and began to inspect it.
