The Treasure Pavilion quickly invited a master appraiser. Under the appraisal of this master appraiser, the treasured medicines and blood were all appraised.
"Shopkeeper Wang, everything has been appraised. In total, there are twelve jars of Dragon Horn Elephant blood essence, four jars of Dragon Leopard blood essence, two jars of Fire Tiger blood essence, and two jars of Flying Python blood essence. There are also five Dragon Horn Elephant horns, five Giant Wolf scales, two Dragon Leopard tendons, and so on. This is the list of items I have appraised, please have a look!" After a while, the master appraiser finally finished appraising all of the items that Ye Xuan's group had brought. He recorded everything on a piece of beast skin and handed it to the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Alright, Master Song, thank you for your hard work. You can go and rest now!" Taking the beast skin, the shopkeeper smiled and nodded at the master appraiser.
The master appraiser nodded and left.
Shopkeeper Wang lowered his head to look at the items recorded on the animal skin paper. Then, he raised his head to look at Ye Xuan and the many villagers of Stone Village, who were calmly sitting to the side and drinking the Azure Spirit Liquid. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Mister Ye, we have appraised all the goods you brought. They are all genuine. This is the list made by our master appraiser.
"No need, I believe that with how big the Treasure Pavilion is, they won't be interested in our items. Am I right, Shopkeeper Wang!" Ye Xuan waved his hand and looked at the shopkeeper meaningfully.
"Haha, of course, our Treasure Pavilion has always been fair and honest. We definitely wouldn't do anything like that." Shopkeeper Wang laughed out loud with a seemingly generous smile.
"Yes, it is because we believe in the Treasure Pavilion's reputation that we have brought items to trade with you." Ye Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Haha, then I must thank Mister Ye for your trust!" Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "How about this, Mister Ye, since everyone has reached an agreement, then let us talk about the price!"
"Please speak, Shopkeeper Wang!" Ye Xuan remained unmoved as he sat on the chair and looked at Shopkeeper Wang.
"In our Treasure Pavilion, one jar of Dragon Horned Elephant Blood Essence costs 1000 gold taels, Dragon Leopard Blood Essence costs 1200 gold taels, Fire Tiger Blood Essence costs 1400 gold taels, Flying Python Blood Essence costs 1500 gold taels, Dragon Horn Elephant Dragon Horn costs 2000 gold taels … That's a total of 53,600 gold taels, I'll write the price on it, please have a look young master Ye!" Manager Wang took out a pen and wrote the price on it, then handed it over to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan took the beast skin and glanced at it. Then, he passed it to Shi Feijiao, who was behind him, and winked at him.
Seeing Ye Xuan's meaningful glance, Shi Feijiao knew that Ye Xuan was asking him about the price. After comparing the items he had sold in the past, he gently nodded.
"How is it, young master Ye? Are you satisfied with this price?" Shopkeeper Wang smiled.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, the price you've given is a bit too low. As far as I know, there are many places out there that offer a higher price than your Treasure Pavilion."
"Young master Ye, what are you talking about? Our Treasure Pavilion offers the most reasonable price. If you don't believe me, you can go ask around and see if you can find a higher price." Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the smile on Shopkeeper Wang's face disappeared, and he looked at Ye Xuan.
"How about this, I don't want to say too much. Just give me a round figure, 60,000 gold taels. If it's okay, then it's fine. If it's not, then I'll find someone else." Ye Xuan didn't back down as he looked at Shopkeeper Wang.
"Young master Ye, you're making things difficult for this old man. Suddenly increasing the price is too much for our Treasure Pavilion. How about this, we each take a step back. This time, you have so many items, and the quality is not bad. This old man will take a loss. How about 55,000 gold taels?"
"Brother Jiao, pack up, let's go!" As soon as Shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, Ye Xuan stood up and said to Shi Feijiao behind him.
"Okay!" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Shi Feijiao didn't say much. He called for his clansmen to start packing up.
"Eh, eh, eh, young master Ye, what are you doing? Fine, fine, fine, 60,000 gold taels it is. This old man is taking a loss this time, but who told me to like these things?" Seeing that Ye Xuan was about to leave, Manager Wang could no longer keep his composure. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes.
Hearing Shopkeeper Wang's words, Ye Xuan only faintly smiled. He didn't believe Shopkeeper Wang's nonsense about taking a loss.
Shopkeeper Wang was secretly happy. This batch of medicines was worth more than 60,000 gold taels. If it was handled well, it would be worth at least 100,000 gold taels. Plus, there was a lot of blood essences in these medicines, which were cultivation medicines. If they were used to make medicines, the value would be even higher.
In reality, how could Ye Xuan not know that this batch of medicines was worth more than this? It was just that he didn't understand the value of medicines in this world. Secondly, he didn't want to cause any more trouble. Since Shi Feijiao felt that the value was about the same, then he didn't care.
"Young master Ye, do you want gold or Refined Jades?" After discussing the price, Shopkeeper Wang asked again.
Ye Xuan and Shi Feijiao discussed for a bit, and in the end, they didn't want gold. Instead, they wanted the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for Refined Jades.
After all, 60,000 gold taels was equivalent to 6000 catties. It wasn't that they couldn't move such a heavy amount of gold, but it was more than a hundred miles from Little Lonely Mountain Town to Stone Village. It was really inconvenient, so it was better to exchange for Refined Jades.
In the Grand Desolate, normally, 10 silver taels could be exchanged for one gold tael, and 100 gold taels could be exchanged for one Refined Jade. From this, it could be seen how precious Refined Jades were.
In reality, Refined Jades were indeed precious. They were condensed from the essence of nature, and after being refined, they could be used to assist in cultivation.
Outside of the Grand Desolate, only Refined Jades could be used to purchase medicines and blood essences. The so-called silver and yellow taels were disdained by cultivators.
This time, the total value of the medicines brought by Ye Xuan's group was 60,000 gold taels, which was equivalent to 600 Refined Jades.
Very quickly, Shopkeeper Wang had people bring over six boxes. Opening them one by one, they saw that they were filled with jade-like lumps. "Young master Ye, please count them. There are a total of 600 Refined Jades here!"
Ye Xuan nodded his head, and then he had Shi Feijiao and the others come forward to count. Sure enough, there were no more or less Refined Jades in the boxes; there were exactly 600 of them.
"Okay, thank you, Shopkeeper Wang!" He had Shi Feijiao and the others put away the Refined Jades and tied them on their backs. Then, he cupped his hands towards Shopkeeper Wang.
"You are too polite, too polite. Young master Ye, I hope that in the future, if you have any medicines, you will remember our Treasure Pavilion. This old man will definitely give you a satisfactory price." Shopkeeper Wang smiled.
"Well said, well said. Goodbye!" Ye Xuan slightly smiled, and then he led the villagers out of the Treasure Pavilion.
