One had to admit that the City of Desolate God's trading house was worthy of its reputation. The variety of elixirs here far exceeded that of the North Snow Empire.
Obviously, because the City of Desolate God was a large city belonging to the Shenluo Empire, the number of powerful alchemists in the entire Shenluo Empire was obviously much more than that of the North Snow Empire. As a result, there were more types of pills available.
Just the great desolate grade elixirs alone numbered forty to fifty, of which more than thirty were cultivation elixirs. Long Yu had only consumed less than half of them.
"I've struck it rich."
Long Yu was overjoyed, but he maintained his composure on the surface. He carefully observed the elixirs, from the great desolate grade to the great desolate grade, not missing a single one.
"Give me three of each of these elixirs. As for these, give me one of each."
Long Yu counted the great desolate grade elixirs to the manservant. Unfortunately, the manservant had no right to touch elixirs of this grade, so he could only let the steward of the trading house do it.
The steward was an early-stage King Realm old man. His eyes flashed with shrewdness, looking at Long Yu as if he was a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Young Master, the total value of these elixirs you've selected is one hundred and sixty five thousand shenbi."
The steward squinted his eyes as he said to Long Yu.
"Great desolate grade elixirs only cost one thousand shenbi. I've only taken seventy-five great desolate grade elixirs, which adds up to one hundred thousand shenbi at most. "
Long Yu said indifferently, "As for the great desolate grade elixirs, they're only one-tenth of the high grade elixirs. The middle and low grade elixirs added together don't even amount to twenty thousand shenbi … And you're telling me that the total value of these elixirs is one hundred and sixty thousand shenbi?"
Long Yu found this ridiculous. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be cheaper to buy elixirs in bulk? But it became even more expensive here!
Even if he added up the value of each elixir, Long Yu could only calculate a little over one hundred and ten thousand shenbi. But this steward actually asked him for more than one hundred and sixty thousand shenbi. This was a complete scam!
"Young master."
The manager chuckled, not showing the slightest bit of embarrassment from being exposed. Instead, he said confidently, "I saw that you came in wearing a mask, so I knew that you didn't want to reveal your identity. Since you want to buy so many pills, you must be from some force, right? If you came in openly, I could give you a normal price. But since you're wearing a mask, I can only treat you as a Martial Cultivator of the pugilistic world … These pills are sold to Martial Cultivators of the pugilistic world at this price! "
Who would have thought that the same thing would be sold at two different prices to the factions and martial arts cultivators of the martial world.
No wonder it was so hard for martial arts practitioners to rise up. It seemed that without a powerful force behind them, they would be bullied wherever they went …
"Look, what are these?"
Long Yu smiled calmly, not intending to argue with him at all. Instead, he took out some Earth God exotic beast crystals and displayed them in front of the steward for a moment.
"Exotic beast crystal? So many? "
Even though it was only for a moment, it was enough for the steward to see what Long Yu was holding in his hand!
Exotic beast crystals!
High-quality exotic beast crystals, even emperor realm ones, were worth thousands of shenbi each!
And the number of exotic beast crystals Long Yu had displayed just now was more than a hundred. If he could buy all of these things, it would be a great merit!
"I can tell you that I have a lot of these exotic beast crystals, but whether or not I'm willing to sell them depends on my mood."
Long Yu said with narrowed eyes.
He knew very well that a large number of exotic beast crystals was a great resource for any trading house. The amount he had displayed was enough to tempt the steward, not to mention that he had even more!
"Hehe, brother, let's talk this through."
The steward chuckled, "If you can take out enough exotic beast crystals to sell to our trading house, the pills you need can indeed be sold at a lower price. As for how much, it will depend on how many exotic beast crystals you have."
"I have two thousand exotic beast crystals, ten emperor realm, a hundred king realm, and the rest are transcendent realm."
Long Yu said straightforwardly, "Name your price."
In addition to the price of exotic beast crystals, he also wanted the steward to tell him how much the pills could be sold at. If the steward wasn't satisfied, he would just leave.
Long Yu believed that the three major trading houses of Desolate God City were in a similar situation. As for which one he would choose to trade with, it would depend on who was more willing to pay.
The purpose of trading in the trading house was to make money, and Long Yu's trades were all big ones. No matter what, the trading house would be able to make a fortune.
Long Yu chose the trading house because he didn't want to lose too much. Although he was quite rich now, he wanted to buy more resources with his limited money.
The steward's expression turned serious when he heard Long Yu say 'two thousand'.
Exotic beast crystals had always been one of the most profitable items in the trading house. This was because those who sold exotic beast crystals were martial cultivators, and the trading house was absolutely ruthless to martial cultivators.
But if they sold them to high officials and nobles, the price would be quite high!
The profit margin for such goods was frighteningly high!
"I can give you three thousand shenbi for emperor realm exotic beast crystals. King realm ones are seven hundred shenbi. Ordinary ones are at least twenty shenbi, and those of better quality are naturally more expensive. "
The steward lowered his voice, "Brother, you should know that the price I'm offering is already higher than anyone else can offer. Normally, we only offer two thousand for emperor realm beast crystals and five hundred for king realm ones … If it weren't for the fact that you have a lot of them, I wouldn't have offered this price at all!"
"As for the pills you want, I can make them and sell them to you at the original price, one hundred and ten thousand shenbi! If you're willing to trade, I'll have to pay you another thirty thousand shenbi. "
Hearing this, Long Yu slowly nodded his head.
This price was acceptable. He hadn't expected exotic beast crystals to be so tempting to the trading house. It seemed that Long Yu's current stock of over nine thousand exotic beast crystals could be sold for at least four to five hundred thousand shenbi. This was far more than he'd expected.
"It looks like the profits from exotic beast crystals are frighteningly high!"
Long Yu also knew that this was the reason. Therefore, the trading house didn't mind raising the price when a large-scale supply of exotic beast crystals appeared. They couldn't allow other trading houses to take their stock anyway.
When Long Yu nodded, it signified that the two parties had reached an agreement.
Long Yu handed over the 2,000 strange beast crystals and obtained the cultivation pills he needed. He also received 30,000 shenbi. This was the result of the valuation of the 2,000 strange beast crystals that the manager had asked someone to appraise. It was a win-win situation for both Long Yu and the exchange hall. Long Yu had to pay the price of the two thousand strange beast crystals.
The ones who suffered the most were the nobles and nobles who were about to purchase the exotic beast crystals. Of course, these people were rich and didn't mind a small loss like this …
Long Yu was about to leave after the transaction was completed, but the steward called him back and said mysteriously, "Brother, we've actually just shipped a batch of good stuff. Perhaps you'd like to take a look?"
"What is it?"
Long Yu's brows furrowed slightly.
Since the transaction was completed, he didn't want to complicate matters. However, if the other party's offer was good, he would still be interested. That was why he asked.
"Three supreme desolate grade pills!"
The steward said straightforwardly, "To be honest, these three supreme grade pills were shipped from the Alliance of Five Emperors. Each of them is priceless. After taking them, not only can one's cultivation increase, but it can also enhance the compatibility between one's Martial Cultivation and the Divine Rune!"
Supreme grade pills!
This was the first time Long Yu heard of this. Items of this level must be extremely precious. Only alchemists from the Alliance of Five Emperors could refine them.
Supreme desolate grade pills contained more than ten times the spiritual energy of high-grade pills. Moreover, they could enhance the compatibility between one's Martial Cultivation and the Divine Rune. Such a good item was definitely not cheap.
"How much?"
Long Yu asked.
"We're planning to auction them. The ideal price for each pill is one hundred and fifty thousand shenbi. If you can take out one hundred and fifty thousand shenbi, I'll sell one to you directly."
The steward said.
"Alright, I'll take three."
Long Yu squinted his eyes and said.
"Three, this …"
The steward almost vomited blood when he heard that. Three at once? That was four hundred and fifty thousand shenbi! Even their trading house couldn't take out so much money in a short time!
Moreover, why would this kid want three identical pills?
"This, to tell you the truth, of these three pills, one of them has already been reserved, and the other one must appear in the auction, so it's not convenient to sell it to you. If you want it, you can only have one at most."
The steward said awkwardly.
Having just struck a big deal, it meant that his status in the trading house would rise further. Hence, his attitude towards Long Yu was much better. At least, he didn't keep thinking of slandering him.
"How about this … bring me to have a look first."
Long Yu thought for a moment and said to the steward.
"Follow me."
The steward began to lead the way.
Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of a secluded secret chamber. The steward fiddled with the stone plate at the entrance for a while before opening the door.
However, after opening the door and stepping inside, the steward and Long Yu were both shocked.
Because there was already someone in the secret chamber!
And he was looking at the three supreme desolate-level pills!
"Number Five, why are you here?"
The steward who received Long Yu's guests had a gloomy expression.
There was another steward in the secret chamber. He was also an old man at the Early Stage of the King Realm. He should be No.5. He was looking at the three supreme desolate-level pills with two beautiful girls.
Number Five turned his head and was also shocked. Then, he burst into laughter, "Number Three? Haha, you also brought someone to look at supreme pills? I'm sorry, I beat you to it. Who are these two? I believe you don't need me to introduce them to you, right? If you know what's good for you, hurry up and leave. Don't disturb the City Lord's daughter. "
The City Lord's daughter!
