Shuttling through the bustling crowd, Yue Qianchou's eyes were fixed on Tao Zhong, asking him all sorts of questions without end. Tao Zhong was really sick and tired of it. He tried several times to shake off Yue Qianchou, but he found that he couldn't do so no matter how hard he tried. There were several times when he thought he had shaken off Tao Zhong's tail, but he would inadvertently find this guy suddenly asking him questions from behind. Tao Zhong was on the verge of collapsing, appearing and disappearing like a ghost!
Little did he know that it was precisely because Yue Qianchou was familiar with him that he took the opportunity to pat Tao Zhong's shoulder, sacrificing a drop of blood essence to pat Tao Zhong's back. The main reason was to make it convenient for him to contact Tao Zhong, afraid that he would forget about Tao Zhong and not be able to find him. More importantly, if Tao Zhong had any questions, he could look for Tao Zhong at any time.
Rows of sheds separated the streets, with people coming and going like the tide. Stalls were filled with things for sale, and there were also stalls like the Four Links Chamber of Commerce that had nothing on sale, waiting for the Divine Ruin Realm to come out. It was a little like waiting for the rice to be cooked, but wasn't the Four Links Chamber of Commerce just waiting for the rice to be cooked?
On the large square, rows of sheds lined up. Yue Qianchou roughly estimated that there were no less than ten thousand stalls. Immediately, he pulled Tao Zhong's sleeve, asking, "Does every stall here have to pay fifty million divine grade spirit stones?"
Tao Zhong reluctantly grunted in agreement, expressing his dissatisfaction. Yue Qianchou looked at Tao Zhong with a strange expression, but immediately understood that he had troubled the other party too much, and the other party was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.
'This is easy, you'll be satisfied in no time!' Yue Qianchou glanced left and right, then dragged Tao Zhong to a shop diagonally opposite. Pointing at a storage bracelet wrapped around an iron rod, he asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this?"
Tao Zhong replied coldly, "This thing is not cheap." The shopkeeper sized up the two people's attire, they didn't look like rich people, but he still smiled, "Ten rooms, one divine grade spirit stone for one, no bargaining!"
Without a word, Yue Qianchou took out a divine grade spirit stone from his storage pouch, throwing it to the shopkeeper, "Take one." The shopkeeper caught the divine grade spirit stone and was dazed for a moment, realizing that he had made a mistake. He immediately took out a storage bracelet, respectfully offering it with both hands, "Please check."
Yue Qianchou received it and sent in his Divine Sense to inspect it. There was nothing wrong with it, so he turned around and stuffed it into Tao Zhong's hand. He smiled and said, "I have been troubling Brother Tao for a long time. I have no way to repay you.
Tao Zhong was already shocked by Huang's action of casually taking out a divine grade spirit stone, Tao Zhong Yang. and said, seeing as he was, "This, I don't know how. with. with, I, I, Tao, I can't accept. You're using a storage pouch. "Tao Zhong was about to return the bracelet to Huang Xiaolong.
In the Immortal World, those below the Immortal Realm would rarely wear a storage bracelet, except for those big families' disciples. Itinerant cultivators like them from the Immortal World would find it hard to earn 1,000 top-grade spirit stones in a year. However, Yue Qianchou had given him a storage bracelet worth 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. How could he not be shocked? To him, this was indeed a heavy gift.
"It's just a bracelet, it's not as serious as you say. I'm just not used to wearing a lump of iron on my wrist. "Yue Qianchou waved his hand to reject Tao Zhong's gift. Although Huang Xiaolong said it casually, Tao Zhong still felt that the gift was too heavy, trying to reject it again. In the end, the shopkeeper chimed in, "Since it's someone's kind intention, just accept it! This person doesn't look like someone who lacks money. "
Tao Zhong looked at the two people, a wry smile on his face, "Then, I'm sorry." After admiring the storage bracelet for a while, Tao Zhong wore it on his wrist, then cupped his fists at Yue Qianchou. Yue Qianchou waved his hand, "Come, let's go, we'll continue our stroll."
The shopkeeper quickly interjected, "Honored guest, I still have a lot of good things here, why don't you take a look?" Yue Qianchou waved his hand, declining the shopkeeper's offer.
When the two of them reached the street again, Tao Zhong no longer tried to hide from Yue Qianchou. Instead, he blindly followed behind Yue Qianchou, ready to act as a guide at any time. This was called a method to take advantage of others, and it was a very realistic situation.
Yue Qianchou once again asked, "Every shop here has to pay fifty million divine grade spirit stones?" Tao Zhong immediately answered, "That's right, only those who pay the Immortal Palace are qualified to set up stalls and open shops here." As he spoke, he kept touching the storage bracelet on his wrist, afraid that he might accidentally drop it.
Yue Qianchou sucked in a breath of cold air. There were at least ten thousand shops here, and each shop had to pay fifty million divine grade spirit stones. Just from this alone, the Immortal Palace would earn at least a few hundred billion divine grade spirit stones. That old Immortal Emperor had struck it rich, this was the benefit of being a big boss ah.
"I heard that the sects and trading houses that enter the Divine Ruin Realm can earn a lot of money. Since the Divine Ruin Realm is controlled by the Immortal Palace, why don't they go treasure hunting themselves instead of letting others participate?" Yue Qianchou asked.
"Who says the Immortal Palace doesn't participate?" Tao Zhong laughed, "The Divine Ruin Realm only opens once every hundred years, the Immortal Palace naturally wouldn't give up such an opportunity. One must know that the deeper one goes into the Divine Ruin Realm, the more valuable treasures there will be. Although all the big sects and trading houses have spent money to participate, the cultivation of the people they send in is restricted, not allowing people above Immortal Realm to enter. Think about it, in the past countless years, every time the Divine Ruin Realm opened, the outer perimeter has been swept clean countless times, where would there be anything valuable left? However, it's too dangerous to go deeper, and it's hard for people below Immortal Realm to enter. But the Immortal Palace itself is different. The people they send in won't be restricted by their cultivation. They can go deeper and find more precious and valuable things. "
Yue Qianchou blanked for a moment, then words came out of his mouth after a long while, "Black, really black, too black, what's the difference between this and daylight robbery …" Then he carefully looked around, "There's no danger in talking about this topic, right?"
Tao Zhong shook his head, "This topic has been discussed too many times, the Immortal Palace dares to do this, they aren't afraid of others talking behind their backs. They didn't force anyone, they just set a standard. Who told everyone to rush in, those who didn't get the qualifications to enter would be unhappy instead."
It's all because of the monopoly ah! Yue Qianchou shook his head speechlessly. When he passed by a shop called 'Skyward Palace', he paused. The shop's signboard read, "Buying in large quantities … Dragon Scale Grass, one thousand divine grade spirit stones per stalk; Hundred Head Vine, eight hundred divine grade spirit stones per stalk; Heavenly Violet Star, four hundred divine grade spirit stones per stalk …" In short, there were a lot of things listed on the signboard, and none of them were sold for less than one divine grade spirit stone.
Seeing the confusion on Huang Xiaolong's face, Tao Zhong immediately explained, "Skyward Palace is the largest alchemy sect in the Immortal World. The prices listed here are the prices of items that are not lacking in the market. Some genuine top-grade immortal herbs are not listed here, and are traded in private. Truly good things can go as high as hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of divine grade spirit stones. For people like us at the bottom of society, we might not even be able to buy a stalk of Dragon Scale Grass even after working hard for a lifetime. "
Poor ah, poor! The corner of Yue Qianchou's mouth twitched. Only now did he realize that he had really overestimated himself. He thought he was very rich, but it turned out that his net worth couldn't even compare to a stalk of grass here. What the hell! This was really intolerable.
This time, he was really provoked. Secretly gritting his teeth, he turned around and asked with a smile, "These valuable things are in the Divine Ruin Realm?"
Tao Zhong nodded, "Of course, otherwise the Skyward Palace wouldn't have hung a 'buying' signboard here. It all depends on whether everyone has the ability to find them or not. For a small trading house like the Four Links, the reason why they did not hesitate to borrow money to enter the Divine Ruin Realm is because as long as they can find a stalk of high grade immortal herb, they will be able to recoup all the money they spent. "
Yue Qianchou's heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling that his chance to make a fortune had come. He couldn't help looking at the signboard a few more times, wanting to memorize all the valuable things listed on it. But with just one look, he saw the problem. He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to recognize any of the grass listed on the signboard. Even if he entered the Divine Ruin Realm, he would most likely think that it was just a weed.
Yue Qianchou immediately coughed, turned around and asked: "Is there a shop here that sells all kinds of precious items?"
"Of course there is. It's rare to see a day like this where all the sects and trading houses in the Immortal World gather. It's a good time to do business." Tao Zhong waved his hand and pointed around: "There are only things you can't think of here, and there's nothing you can't buy, as long as you have the money. The various precious items you mentioned should be sold in the 'Wan Gu Tong's' shop. "
Yue Qianchou immediately waved his hand, indicating for him to lead the way. As they walked, he asked: "What does Wan Gu Tong do?"
Although Tao Zhong was surprised that he didn't even know about Wan Gu Tong, he was already used to his ignorance. He casually explained: "It's the largest auction and appraisal shop in the Immortal World, and it's very rich."
The two of them strolled along a few streets, asking many people before they finally found Wan Gu Tong's shop. As soon as the two of them walked in, a well-dressed, beautiful, and graceful woman walked out from the side of several old men. She walked over with a smile and asked, "Do you want to buy, see, appraise, or entrust something to be auctioned?"
The dazzling array of items in the shop dazzled Yue Qianchou, but he didn't recognize many of them. He paused for a moment and asked: "Are there any precious items?"
"Yes." The beautiful woman took a few steps back, pointing at the piles of jade archives on the shelves at the side as she introduced: "Antiques, immortal records, medicinal pills, immortal herbs, immortal artifacts, beasts, and all kinds of rare ores and metals. What kind and grade do you need?"
Yue Qianchou was taken aback: "What do you mean by grade?" The beautiful woman was stunned by his question. Tao Zhong hurriedly raised his hand at the woman, gesturing for her to wait for a moment. He whispered into Yue Qianchou's ear: "Items like these are usually protected with restrictions, and can't be duplicated. Once duplicated, the information recorded inside will be destroyed. Usually, the price is set according to the rarity of the item. The rarer the item, the higher the price. "
