As the head shopkeeper of the Wonderful Treasure House, Li Xinlan was currently sitting on the third floor of the Wonderful Treasure House. She was discussing something with two other people dressed in shopkeeper clothing.
At this moment, Yi Tian used his Spiritual Sense to spy on the three people in the room. He didn't have time to listen to the previous part, but the current conversation was heard by him.
Li Shuilan opened her mouth and said, "Gentlemen, in this year's Spiritual Tool Competition, my Wonderful Treasure House must maintain the same ranking as fifty years ago."
The older late stage Jin Dan cultivator shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you should know that our Clear Spirit Mountain has always focused on selling precious materials and pills. As for refining spirit tools, we have always been weak. This time, other than our Wonderful Treasure House, there are several other powers that have made sufficient preparations. "
The other middle aged man interrupted, "Shopkeeper Li, I even heard that the Righteous Alliance has sent a Consecrator to participate. I'm afraid this time's Clear Spirit Mountain City's trading event won't be so simple."
Hearing this, Li Shuilan's brows furrowed even deeper. She sighed helplessly and said, "Could it be that we don't have any countermeasures? You should know that this time's Clear Spirit Mountain City's trading event is related to the quota to enter the Imperial Beast Temple Ruins. The headquarters attaches great importance to this matter and directly reserved a quota. "
When the two heard this, their expressions became extremely awkward. After a while, they said with a fearful expression, "Shopkeeper Li, you didn't mention this before. If the people from the headquarters find out about this, then our days in the future will be extremely difficult."
"How could I not know about this matter? But who can we find to represent our Wonderful Treasure House in such a short time?" Li Xinlan intentionally or unintentionally glanced towards the backyard.
Suddenly, Yi Tian's voice came to her ear, "Then what about the quota to enter the Imperial Beast Temple?" The one who spoke was Yi Tian.
A glint flashed across Li Xinlan's eyes, then she said to the other two consecrators: "I have an important guest at my door, please don't be impatient, it's easy to solve this matter." After saying that, she hurriedly got up and left with the other two, then hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Within Shaoqing's inner courtyard's private room, Li Xinlan was seated respectfully. At this moment, her face was extremely relaxed as she recounted the details of the Clear Spirit Mountain City's once-in-a-century trading ceremony.
It turned out that this was a grand event jointly held by the Righteous Path Alliance and many rogue cultivators. It was held once every hundred years and lasted for three days. The various parties had clearly marked the prices of the precious materials, spirit tools, and medicinal pills that they were offering for sale.
Ten percent of the profits would be handed over to the Clear Spirit Mountain City's City Lord. As for the City Lord, he was a Yuanying Elder sent by the Righteous Alliance to oversee the city. Following that, each party would be allocated a spot to enter the Li Fire Sect's Beast Taming Temple ruins according to their contribution.
Although Yi Tian wasn't interested in the trade fair in Clear Spirit Mountain City, the ruins of the Imperial Beast Temple did interest him. Since there was a quota to be allocated, it didn't seem like it would be easy to enter.
In that instant, a thought flashed through his mind. Since the Righteous Path Alliance had sent a Yuanying Elder to guard and coordinate the entry spots for the Imperial Beast Temple ruins, then he might as well go to the City Lord's residence and ask for it.
However, this thought was thrown to the back of his mind. If he were to forcefully ask for it, it would not take long for rumors to spread. It would be self-defeating for him to use the Central State's powers to go against the Thousand Spirit Sect, Tian Dao Sect, and other large sects.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Shopkeeper Li, I wonder how your shop intends to participate in this trade fair, and how many spirit stones would you need to provide the City Lord's residence in order to maintain the entry spots."
Li Xinlan straightened her expression and said: "My shop has always displayed ninety percent of our shops in the exhibition, and the remaining ten percent in the auction."
"Is there a difference in the amount of contribution?" Yi Tian asked.
"Everything in the shops on the exhibition is clearly marked and recorded in a book that is handed over to the City Lord's Mansion. As long as the items are sold, 5% of the registered price will be added to the contribution, and the same amount of spirit stones will be required." Li Xin Lan explained, and seeing Yi Tian nod his head, she continued, "As for the items that are put up for auction, the lowest bid price will be recorded by an appraiser, and this portion will be paid 20% of the spirit stones. If the price is higher than this, then the extra portion will require an additional 50% of spirit stones."
Yi Tian sighed and said: "This way, we can put an end to the malicious intention of hyping things up. Sure enough, this Clear Spirit Mountain Guard is playing a good game. If she was placed in the mortal world, she would be considered a tax expert."
After looking at Li Xinlan's expression, Yi Tian took out a few low grade spirit tools from his storage pouch. After erasing the imprint on them, he put them into a storage bracelet and handed it to Li Xinlan, saying: "Here are a hundred spirit tools, their grades are all between fourth and fifth grade. They are the works I made when I was young. Now that I am giving them to you as a trade fair, it is appropriate."
Li Xinlan was overjoyed when she heard this, but her hands did not move. After a slight hesitation, she carefully asked: "Senior Yi seems to be interested in the entry spots for the Imperial Beast Temple Ruins, right?"
It was always easy to talk to smart people, especially people like Li Xinlan who was good at reading people's expressions. It was expected that she could become the shopkeeper of Clear Spirit Mountain Town's Wonderful Treasure House.
Yi Tian said slowly: "Wonderful Treasure House has branches all over the Tian Lan Continent. News travels fast, I believe shopkeeper Li already knows my identity."
Li Xinlan nodded in embarrassment and replied: "That is indeed the case. Our house has specialized personnel in charge of collecting information from all over the continent, including the top cultivators and the rising stars of the large sects."
"My sect is related to the Central State Li Fire Sect, so I have the obligation to investigate any place left behind by the sects."
"With Senior Yi's help, I believe that our Wonderful Treasure House will be able to return with a great harvest from the Imperial Beast Temple Ruins." Li Xinlan said.
"I would like to take up a spot, I wonder if shopkeeper Li can adjust it." When it came to serious matters, Yi Tian obviously did not want to give in.
Li Xinlan glanced at the storage bracelet on the table and replied without any hesitation: "Those who enter the Imperial Beast Temple Ruins are all cultivators of the Jin Dan stage and above. Their goal is to collect all kinds of herbs used to breed beasts, so that they can be used to create high grade Beast Breeding Pills."
Yi Tian asked puzzledly: "What is the difference between this and normal Beast Breeding Pills?"
"Senior Yi, you do not know that the quality of the herbs used to breed spirit beasts is not the best, but the most suitable ones. Three thousand years ago, the Li Fire Sect had opened up several spirit herb gardens in the Imperial Beast Temple Ruins, which were specially used to breed spirit beasts of different attributes. After thousands of years of cultivators picking the herbs, only about thirty percent of the area has been explored. "Li Shuilan explained.
