In reality, the resources of the Inner worlds were almost all controlled by the various large ancient martial art practitioner sects. After hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation, one could imagine the wealth in their hands.
For example, the large sects in the Inner worlds almost every sect had a profound level weapon. Some even had more than one.
The ancient martial art practitioners naturally could not refine those profound level weapons themselves. Almost all of them were exchanged from the Huatian Palace. The spiritual stones that the large sects had accumulated for hundreds of years were indeed enough to exchange for one or two profound level weapons from the Huatian Palace.
This was also why the large sects in the Inner worlds had so many immortal cultivator treasures in their hands.
However, the wealth that the ancient martial art practitioner sects had accumulated over hundreds of years had all become the Huatian Palace's. In the end, the Huatian Palace was the biggest winner.
Tang Zhizhi's words made Mo Wen realize that the ancient martial art practitioner sects in the large mystery dimensions had unimaginable wealth. Disregarding everything else, they most likely had a lot of spiritual stones. Although he had more than ten thousand spiritual stones, compared to the large sects, it was most likely far from enough.
Back then, Luofeng Sect was only the top faction in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. In the other large mystery dimensions, they were not outstanding. Even so, the treasures left behind by the destroyed Luofeng Sect actually had ten to twenty thousand spiritual stones and various spiritual weapons and even profound level weapons. From this, it could be seen how rich the various large sects in the Inner worlds were.
"This Dragon City is practically a cornucopia for the Huatian Palace to amass wealth. Who knows how much wealth the Huatian Palace has taken from just one Martial Arts Circle Convention."
Mo Wen shook his head helplessly. No wonder the expenses in Dragon City were so high. It turned out that the Huatian Palace was exploiting the rich of the various large Inner worlds. There were not many immortal cultivators in the Source World. This led to the situation where the ancient martial art practitioner sects monopolized a large amount of resources. However, with the Huatian Palace around, most likely all these resources would eventually be piled up in the Huatian Palace's treasure trove.
Behind the Huatian Palace was the Spirit Realm. Collecting so many spiritual stones and raw ores would most likely eventually be transported to the Spirit Realm to be digested.
"Can private individuals sell things in the Trading Palace Hall?"
Mo Wen looked at Tang Zhizhi. He suddenly had a plan. Since the Huatian Palace could amass wealth this way, why couldn't he?
He was not an immortal cultivator and was unable to refine spiritual weapons, talisman magical weapons, and other treasures. However, he had received Ji Wuya's inheritance and had an alchemy treasure like the Flame Divine Cauldron. The medicinal pills that he could refine would naturally be extraordinary. They should not be any worse than some of the panaceas sold by the Huatian Palace.
If he could sell elixirs in Dragon City, he could also kill off the rich people from the various inner worlds. Then, he would probably be able to amass a huge amount of wealth.
"Do you want to sell something?" Tang Zhizhi said in astonishment, "If you want to sell something in the Trading Hall, it has to be of a high enough grade. This will be verified by the appraisers of the Trading Hall. Other than that, after the item is sold, the Huatian Palace will collect a 30% tax. The seller will only get 70% of the money in the end. "
A 30% tax was definitely not low. The Trading Hall might be able to help the seller sell the goods for a high price, but the money they would receive in the end might not necessarily be much. Hence, many people would rather use other trading companies' channels than the Huatian Palace's channels easily.
Of course, some sufficiently precious items could only be sold by the Huatian Palace. Hence, there were still many people looking for the Huatian Palace.
"What's the standard?" Mo Wen was not at all surprised that the Huatian Palace would collect such a high tax. If the Huatian Palace did not collect it, he would be a little surprised instead.
"The value of the items placed for sale in the Trading Hall cannot be lower than a thousand spiritual stones," Tang Zhizhi said. A thousand spiritual stones was the bottom line. Any lower and one could usually buy it in the shops of the Business Street. There was no need for them to go to the Trading Hall at all.
"What is the approximate price of a fifth-grade spiritual pill in the Trading Hall?" Mo Wen only had an abundance of spiritual pills. He lacked everything else. If he wanted to make a killing, he could only start with spiritual pills.
"A fifth-grade spiritual pill can be sold for about a thousand spiritual stones."
Tang Zhizhi estimated. Spiritual pills were rare items, and they were loved by many ancient martial art practitioners. That was because a high-level spiritual pill could perhaps help them break through their shackles and increase their cultivation. Perhaps a spiritual pill could give an ancient martial art practitioner an extra life. Hence, spiritual pills had always been a hot seller. They occupied a large portion of the Huatian Palace's sales market.
The spiritual pills that could be placed in the Trading Hall were not of low rank. The lowest was a fourth-grade spiritual pill. Fifth-grade spiritual pills were more common. As for high-level spiritual pills of the seventh grade and above, they were very rare even in the Trading Hall.
That was because when spiritual pills reached the seventh grade, not only were they very useful to ancient martial art practitioners, but they were also useful to immortal cultivators in the Primordial Soul Realm.
In reality, seventh-grade spiritual pills were very rare in the Trading Hall. As for the even higher eighth-grade and ninth-grade spiritual pills, they were almost always the finale items. Normally, they could not be sold. Spiritual pills were different from profound-level weapons. Some ancient martial art practitioner sects might be willing to spend a few hundred thousand spiritual stones to buy a profound-level weapon, but they would definitely not spend a hundred thousand spiritual stones to buy a ninth-grade spiritual pill. Unless the spiritual pill had a heaven-defying effect on ancient martial art practitioners, giving it to them was no different from a reckless waste of resources.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen nodded his head. There were indeed many treasures in the Trading Hall. Along the way, there were some items that tempted him. However, the prices were too high. He could only look at them and could not afford to buy them.
The deeper he went, the better the treasures were. When Mo Wen walked into the inner hall, the treasures in the display cases were enough to make Mo Wen's eyes burn.
The Ten Thousand Year Green Lotus was a medium grade profound level spiritual item. This was the second profound level spiritual item that Mo Wen had seen. Its value was far above that of the Golden Silk Cloud Ginseng that Mo Wen had obtained.
This spiritual item could be eaten directly. Not only could it improve the body, but its greatest value was that the Ten Thousand Year Green Lotus could increase the lifespan of a cultivator. A ten-thousand-year-old green lotus could increase one's lifespan by fifty years. A twenty-thousand-year-old green lotus could increase one's lifespan by a hundred years. If it was a hundred-thousand-year-old green lotus, it was almost a sacred level spiritual item. Consuming it directly could increase one's lifespan by a thousand years.
The green lotus in front of him should be a ten-thousand-year-old green lotus. Even so, it was an absolute treasure. Mo Wen had not expected to see such a treasure in the Trading Hall.
Other than profound level spiritual items, there were also various profound level weapons, magical weapons, stratagems, and even spiritual talismans and storage bags for sale. However, Mo Wen only had one thought in his mind about the prices. He should just look and not think too much about it.
Storage bags were very common items in the Immortal Cultivation world. However, in the ancient martial art world, they were definitely rare items. The most ordinary storage bags were only comparable to ordinary spiritual weapons in the Immortal Cultivation world. The space inside was not very big and could only be used to store some precious items. However, the price of this most ordinary storage bag was equivalent to the price of a profound level weapon in the Huatian Palace.
"Treasure House?"
Mo Wen suddenly stopped at an intersection. In a side hall on the right side of the corridor, the words "Treasure House" were written in a flamboyant style. There were many treasures listed inside. However, they were not placed in the display windows. Instead, they were placed on the shelves. There were even shop assistants inside.
"This is a shop in the Trading Hall. The items sold inside are all personal items …" Tang Zhizhi explained.
Some people with great power could set up a shop in the Trading Hall to sell their own items. However, it was unimaginable to have a shop in the Trading Hall. The number of businesses that had such power could be counted on one hand.
This Treasure House was one of the most famous businesses in the world. Its business scope was not limited to one city or one Inner world, but the entire world, including the various large Inner worlds. This kind of business had countless treasures in their hands. That was why they were allowed to set up a shop in the Trading Hall.
Mo Wen, Wan 'er, and the others walked in curiously. There were a few beautiful shop assistants inside. When they saw the customers enter, one of them walked over with a smile. However, she did not speak and only followed behind them quietly. They wouldn't take the initiative to promote any products. Only when the customers had questions would they speak up to answer.
There were many items in the Treasure House, and they were all of high quality. They were not much worse than the items in the display windows.
Mo Wen suddenly stopped in his tracks because he had discovered a familiar face. There were other customers in the Treasure House. Not far in front, there were a few foreigners standing. Mo Wen glanced over and was surprised to discover that there was actually someone he knew.
There were three foreigners there, surrounding a square table. There was an item on the table. From the position it was placed, it should be one of the most valuable items in the Treasure House.
The three foreigners were two men and one woman. One of the men was very strange. He wore ancient armor and his entire person gave off a tall and heavy feeling. It was as though there was a mountain in front of him. The other man was dressed in a decent suit. He had gray hair and blue eyes. His body emanated a noble aura, like he was the oldest aristocrat in Europe.
The only woman was a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her aura was sacred and noble, giving off a feeling of transcendence. It was none other than the Italian woman, Stunning Snow, whom Mo Wen had met once in Fu Sang Country.
Mo Wen had not expected to meet her here. Many foreigners had been attracted to Dragon City.
Mo Wen walked over curiously. On the square table that they were surrounding was an inner armor. The inner armor was like a close-fitting garment. However, the materials used to make it were not simple.
"A medium grade profound level weapon, Gold Xuan Inner Armor!"
A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. It was actually a medium grade profound level weapon inner armor. This was the first medium grade profound level weapon that he had seen in the Trading Main Hall. Moreover, it was a defensive inner armor. The value of an inner armor magical treasure was generally higher than magical treasures of the same rank. This inner armor was a rare item among medium grade profound level weapons.
He had a defensive profound level weapon, the Mountain Painting Scroll. However, the Mountain Painting Scroll was not comparable to this Gold Xuan Inner Armor. Even if they were both low-grade profound level weapons, the Mountain Painting Scroll was not as good as the Gold Xuan Inner Armor. After all, the inner armor was a close-fitting item that could protect one's life. Wearing such a Gold Xuan Inner Armor would make it difficult for one to die.
"It's you?"
Stunning Snow noticed that someone was walking over. She subconsciously turned her head and glanced over. However, she discovered a familiar face. (To be continued.)
