"Fourth Master, Fourth Master! There's a big customer here, it's definitely … "
"What are you panicking for!" When this Second Shopkeeper Wu quickly walked into a luxuriously decorated room with a desk full of account books, the man who was bent over the desk carefully examining the account books shouted without even raising his head.
After being yelled at by the Fourth Master, Second Shopkeeper Wu, who had rushed in, straightened his body and slightly straightened his clothes. Only then did he steadily step in.
"Shopkeeper Wu, how many times have I told you not to panic? As the shopkeeper in charge of all external affairs, you are the face of our Jinluo Hall." The Fourth Master was very diligent. While reprimanding Second Shopkeeper Wu, he was also flipping through the account books. The rustling sound was quite pleasant to the ear.
"Okay, now tell me, what kind of big customer is here? Is he buying or selling? What's his level? Does he have a transaction limit of 100,000 Reiki?" There were all kinds of rules in the Jinluo Hall. The minimum transaction limit for a big customer was 100,000 Reiki.
Hearing the Fourth Master's permission, Second Shopkeeper Wu, who had been holding back for a while, hurriedly opened his mouth. But when he opened his mouth, he deliberately slowed down his speed for fear of being scolded by the Fourth Master again.
"Fourth Master, there's a young man and woman outside. They came to our Jinluo Hall to sell some rare treasures. So far, we've taken out 50 pieces of 1,800 years old Red Fire Grass, and … "
"What? 50 1800-year-old Red Fire Grass? " Hearing the number that Second Shopkeeper Wu reported, the Fourth Master, who had been immersed in flipping through the account book, finally stopped flipping through the account book. He raised his head with some surprise. "Have you checked it?"
"Reporting to Fourth Master, this subordinate has seen all 50 Red Flame Grasses that are more than 1800 years old …"
"You've seen all of them? Did you come to find me because that young man's asking price is too high? "Before Second Shopkeeper Wu could finish speaking, the Fourth Master once again interrupted Second Shopkeeper Wu.
Second Shopkeeper Wu revealed a bitter smile. "No, Fourth Master, I gave them 4,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals each, and they accepted most of it, but …"
"But what?"
"But he also took out ten Scarlet-Heart Branches."
"Loyal Heart Branch, there are actually Loyal Heart Branch, and there are even ten of them. What kind of great luck did this brat run into?" The Fourth Master once again interrupted Second Shopkeeper Wu's report, causing Second Shopkeeper Wu to be extremely depressed.
But second shopkeeper Wu continued, "That's not all, Fourth Master. He also took out the Ten Severing Roots that are rarely seen in a hundred years. And not just one, but five of them!"
"Five of the ten extinction roots?" Hearing this, the Fourth Master suddenly stood up and questioned Second Shopkeeper Wu with a face full of surprise: "Shopkeeper Wu, could it be that you're making fun of me? Whether it is the Red Flame Grass or the Red Heart Branch, they are both extremely rare treasures. Even in the Vermillion Bird Territory, one might not be able to buy the Ten Extinction Roots with large amounts of Spirit Crystals. How could both of them appear in the hands of a pair of young people?
Shopkeeper Wu said with a wronged expression, "Fourth Master, even if I want to make fun of others, I wouldn't dare to make fun of you. This matter was absolutely true. That young man and woman were drinking tea in the inner hall right now. And the man also said … "
"What else did he say?"
"He also said that he has one or two treasures that he hasn't taken out yet. And the treasures he hasn't taken out are even more valuable than the Ten Extinction Roots. That's why this subordinate has come to ask the Fourth Master to come out and discuss this matter. The treasures this young man brought are far too valuable. From what we know, it's already worth three million mid tier Reiki. This subordinate is unable to make a decision. "
Finally, Second Shopkeeper Wu's eyes flashed and he suddenly added, "Fourth Master, this young man and woman are only at the ninth level of the Qui Star realm!"
"Oh? Level nine of the Arch-Star realm? "The Fourth Master's eyes lit up." Do you know where they come from? " The Fourth Master paused for a moment. "For them to have so many treasures, it's very likely that they're from another astral plane!"
"Rich and powerful? Fourth Master, let's not talk about treasures better than the Ten Extinction Roots. Even the Celestial Monarch's residence might not be able to take out five of them, right? This subordinate reckons that this kid got lucky and entered some secret palace, where he picked up the treasures? "Second Shopkeeper Wu narrowed his eyes.
"Careful, you must be careful! Shopkeeper Wu, how many times have I told you? In this world, there are too many unexpected failures. Wait for me to go out and test things out before making a decision! " After casually reprimanding Second Shopkeeper Wu, the Fourth Master walked towards the inner hall with large strides. At this moment, even he was impatient to see this extraordinary young man.
"This subordinate's surname is You. I'm the shopkeeper of the Golden Net Hall. Thank you for coming to my humble store, young master. May I know your name?" After leaving the room and entering the inner hall, the Fourth Master's stern expression immediately disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with a kind of amiable smile.
"This subordinate's surname is Ling."
"Oh, so it's Young Master Ling. Greetings!" As the Fourth Master spoke, Second Shopkeeper Wu, who had left earlier, walked over with the Four Treasures of the Study and an exquisitely wrapped booklet.
When Ling Dong revealed a puzzled expression, the Fourth Master hurriedly explained, "This is a tradition of our humble store. Any customer with a transaction amount of 200,000 mid-grade Reiki is an honored guest of our humble store. After registering, our humble store will make a special and exquisite jade token for our honored guests to carry with them. In the future, no matter which branch our honored guests appear in, as long as they show their jade token, they will enjoy top-notch VIP treatment!"
The Fourth Master's words were flawless and flawless.
Ling Dong sneered inwardly when he heard that. Based on his judgment, this Fourth Master had already harbored malicious intentions. However, Ling Dong had been hoping for them to do that the moment he arrived. Thus, he reported without hiding anything. "His name is Dong!"
The reason Ling Dong had displayed so many treasures in such an exaggerated manner was because he wanted to tempt the Jinluo Hall into harboring malicious intentions. If Ling Dong really wanted to exchange for a large amount of Reiki, treasures of this level could only be auctioned off for the greatest profit.
However, Ling Dong was merely tempting them with his wealth. The real decision maker was still in the hands of the two shopkeepers of the Jinluo Hall, who had the backing of the Dongluo Sect.
If the two of them didn't harbor malicious intentions and followed a normal transaction, Ling Dong wouldn't hesitate to sell the treasures and leave with the Reiki. However, if the Jinluo Hall were to do anything improper, Ling Dong wouldn't be courteous either. After all, this was their own choice.
"This is …?" Fourth Master looked at Bai Yuhan but was deflated. Bai Yuhan completely ignored him and turned her head away. A trace of awkwardness flashed across the Fourth Master's face.
"My friend is naturally quiet and unsociable!" Ling Dong added.
Next, Fourth Master You naturally looked at Ling Dong's treasures. Ling Dong cooperatively took them out one by one, allowing Fourth Master You to inspect them one by one. Fourth Master You's eyes sparkled.
Furthermore, Ling Dong had even taken out two treasures that were ranked even higher than the Ten Extinction Roots on the Big Dipper Treasure Talisman. After confirming their authenticity, Fourth Master You was thoroughly shocked.
However, Fourth Master was no longer in a hurry. He first instructed Second Shopkeeper Wu, "Shopkeeper Wu, hurry up and make Young Master Ling Dong's VIP jade token. Hurry!"
Second Shopkeeper Wu quickly retreated, and Fourth Master You began to discuss the origins of the treasures in Ling Dong's possession with Ling Dong. He was very talkative and chatty.
Ling Dong didn't point this out. As they chatted, he knew that Fourth Master had sent Shopkeeper Wu to investigate Ling Dong's origins. If Ling Dong's background was deep, he naturally wouldn't be so presumptuous. However, if Ling Dong was an ordinary martial artist with no obvious background, then things would get interesting.
Of course, the value of these treasures couldn't be avoided.
Finally, after some haggling, Fourth Master calculated the total value of Ling Dong's treasures. A total of 9.7 million mid-grade reiki. Nine million mid-grade reiki would be paid in high-grade Reiki. In other words, Fourth Master would pay Fourth Master Ling Dong 90,000 high-grade reiki.
"Ha, please wait a moment, Young Master Ling. When Shopkeeper Wu returns, I'll ask him to collect the Reiki. However, the amount is huge, so we'll have to gather them from each branch. It might take several hours. Please understand, Young Master Ling, "Fourth Master You said with a smile.
"It's fine!"
As soon as Ling Dong finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed through the passageway of the inner hall. Shopkeeper Wu, who had left earlier, had returned. However, behind him were four martial artists with extraordinary auras and stern expressions.
The moment the four martial artists appeared, they occupied the four corners of the inner hall at lightning speed, vaguely forming an encirclement.
Seeing this, Ling Dong knew what was going to happen. However, he still feigned ignorance. "Shopkeeper You, this is …?"
Without waiting for Fourth Master You to answer, Second Shopkeeper Wu said coldly, "Fourth Master, I've already investigated clearly. This man and woman are a pair of flying bandits. Not long ago, they ransacked the southernmost Bai Cangfu Star Realm. The Star Bounty Warrant has already been sent to Qinggu City. Take it and send it to the Heavenly Lord's courtyard. There will be a handsome reward!"
"What? They are actually flying bandits?" Before Second Shopkeeper Wu spoke, there was a momentary pause. Second Shopkeeper Wu had probably communicated with Fourth Master You through their souls and explained Ling Dong's origins. At the same time, when Fourth Master You heard Second Shopkeeper Wu's groundless accusation, he very cooperatively stood up in surprise.
"Ha, flying bandits, ransacking a Star Realm? Can you really think of something like that?" Ling Dong couldn't help but laugh when he heard the accusation of being a flying bandit. This Second Shopkeeper Wu was really a genius!
"Hmph, how dare you laugh! What are you still standing there for? Take down this pair of flying bandits! "Fourth Master You said coldly when he heard Ling Dong's mocking laughter.
A cold glint flashed across Fourth Master You's eyes as he added, "It doesn't matter if they're dead or alive!"
