Chapter 425: ‘Part Reluctantly With What I Treasure’
Old Bai calmed the shock in his heart and placed the talismans on the table.
“Young Miss Lou, are you sure you want to sell these pills and talismans to the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance?”
Lou Mu Yan nodded and said: “Mm. Will the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance accept it?”
“Our Chamber of Commerce naturally wants to accept it. Young Miss Lou is a huge customer.” Old Bai smiled and asked: “Then do you have any requirements for the price?”
“How many Spiritual Stones can your Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance give?” Lou Mu Yan asked instead.
“According to the usual price, a Grade 4 pill is usually thirty to forty thousand Low-Quality Spiritual Stones, and a Grade 4 talisman is the same price.”
Old Bai paused, then added: “But firstly, Young Miss Lou is a Silver Distinguished Guest of our Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and secondly, both the pills and talismans you want to sell are High-Quality, so how about fifty thousand Spiritual Stones?”
“Sure. Then let’s calculate it at that price.” Lou Mu Yan knew that the price was very reasonable, and even higher than the prices the Pill Tower bought pills at.
Old Bai stroked his grey beard and counted all the pills and talismans with a smile, “There are sixty pills totalling three million Low-Quality Spiritual Stones, and one hundred talismans totalling five million Low-Quality Spiritual Stones.”
“I still want to buy these things. You can give me the remaining Spiritual Stones after deducting this.” Lou Mu Yan handed over a copy of the jade slip.
Manager Li took the jade slip and browsed through it. The surprise on his face had yet to dissipate when it resurfaced. Not only did this little girl buy a lot of things, but they were also all high-end goods. She truly was excellent at earning money but also a prodigal with money.
“Young Miss Lou, I calculated that you need three million five hundred thousand Low-Quality Spiritual Stones. After deducting it, we will give you four million five hundred thousand Spiritual Stones.” Manager Li said after the calculation.
Lou Mu Yan said: “Alright.
“By the way, this is what my three friends want to buy. Can I get a discount with my Silver Ming Alliance Token?” Lou Mu Yan also handed over the jade slip with what the three had chosen.
Manager Li swept the items in the jade slip. Compared to Lou Mu Yan, the things the three of them wanted to buy were like ‘a minor magician in the presence of a great one1’, “Naturally yes. Everyone, please wait a moment, I will go prepare.”
“Yes!”
After Manager Li left, Old Bai didn’t follow him. He smiled at Lou Mu Yan and said: “Young Miss Lou really spends well. Not only do you sell things so generously, but you also buy things without so much as batting an eyelid. If it were other little fellows of the same age, they probably wouldn’t have such bold initiative.”
What he said was the truth. Spiritual Stones were the trading currency between Sword Masters above Sword Sovereign cultivation base. Elite pupils raised from various Royal Families and major clans who could use a million Spiritual Stones was already considered pretty good.
Meanwhile Lou Mu Yan displayed an attitude of nonchalance towards Spiritual Stones, whether it was selling or buying.
“Old Bai is joking, I just have a bolder personality.” Lou Mu Yan smiled humbly.
“Young Miss Lou needs not be humble.” Old Bai didn’t think she was only just bold. With just her calmness and composure, it was rare among the talented pupils of the younger generation.
“Old Bai, can I ask you about something?” Lou Mu Yan pondered then asked.
Old Bai was slightly surprised and said with a smile: “Young Miss Lou, do tell. If this old man knows anything that doesn’t involve any secrets, I can tell you.”
“Does Old Bai know much about the Tian’yuan Auction?” Lou Mu Yan wouldn’t ask him about any secrets either.
“This old man has been in Tian’yuan City for more than thirty years and could be considered knowledgeable about the Tian’yuan Auction. Young Miss Lou wants to inquire about the auction?”
After thinking for a bit, Old Bai continued: “If you want to inquire about what items will be sold at the auction, then this old man apologises as I am unable to tell, because the auction items in the Tian’yuan Auction are announced on the spot and they are often changed, so it’s even less possible to be leaked to the public.”
“I understand this rule. I just want to ask Old Bai, under normal circumstances, if you want to win several items at the Tian’yuan Auction, how much Spiritual Stones should we prepare?” Lou Mu Yan asked after pondering.
“This is hard to say. If you just want to win some ordinary items, the four million five hundred thousand Spiritual Stones Young Miss Lou obtained here is enough.”
Instantly, his tone changed, and he said: “But if you want to win the finale items, maybe your four and a half million wouldn’t be enough to buy a single item.”
After hearing Old Bai’s words, Zi Che Shi and the other’s eyes widened. Four and a half million Spiritual Stones weren’t even enough to buy one item? Then they, who only had a million or so Spiritual Stones on them, could only go there to watch?
Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows slightly. It was just the finale items, and it was already so expensive, not to mention something like the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron that was a Peak-Quality Saint Treasure. It was possible for those Sword Saint powerhouses that were rolling in money to even produce tens of millions of Spiritual Stones just to buy it.
“Old Bai, can I do a deal with your Chamber of Commerce privately?” Lou Mu Yan asked after a moment of silence.
Old Bai was stunned, then said with a smile: “Young Miss Lou, how about you come upstairs with this old man for a cup of tea?”
Since Lou Mu Yan wanted to make a deal with the Chamber of Commerce alone, then she naturally didn’t want others to know. He was also a little curious about what other good things she could use to make a deal with.
Old Bai understood her words as soon as he heard them, while the three present were also smart people, so they naturally knew that she didn’t want to expose the trading items in front of them.
“Junior Sister, you can go have tea with Old Bai, we’ll take a look around.” Jian Yang said knowingly.
“Then I will trouble Senior Brothers and Senior Sister to wait a little longer.” Lou Mu Yan nodded.
Following Old Bai to a secret room on the fourth floor, there was an array inside that even a strong Sword Saint level powerhouse’s Mental Energy couldn’t spy through it.
“Young Miss Lou, please take a seat.” Old Bai took out a pot of Spiritual Tea and poured a cup for her, “Young Miss Lou still has something to sell?”
Lou Mu Yan shook the teacup gently, “Yes, but I don’t want to expose what I want to sell. The confidentiality of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance should be pretty good right?”
“Haha…” Old Bai smiled confidently and said: “On this, Young Miss Lou can rest assured. The confidentiality of our Chamber of Commerce is still very reliable. Otherwise, we will not be the number one chamber of commerce on this Continent.”
With a flip of her hand, a small branch the thickness of an arm filled with the abundance of life appeared in her hand.
Old Bai’s smiling face froze for a moment. He asked excitedly with wide eyes: “Th-This is the Soul Nourishing Wood?”
“This is precisely the piece of Soul Nourishing Wood that I obtained by chance. I was going to keep it for my own use, but I wanted to win a finale product at the auction, so I could only part reluctantly with what I treasure.” Lou Mu Yan sighed, and a look of reluctance appeared on her face.
Old Bai took over the Soul Nourishing Wood and checked it carefully. The more he looked, the more excited he grew. This Soul Nourishing Wood was filled with vitality and was extremely rare in this world.
Seeing that Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were constantly glued to the Soul Nourishing Wood and the expression of reluctance and contradiction were interchanging, he understood in his heart.
Lou Mu Yan, this little girl, was still too tender. He was afraid that she hadn’t even figured out the value of the Soul Nourishing Wood, otherwise how could she sell such a Heaven Rank Spiritual Item.
“Do you know the function and value of the Soul Nourishing Wood?”
“I know, but compared to the Soul Nourishing Wood, the finale product of the Tian’yuan auction is more attractive to me.” Lou Mu Yan said bluntly.
Old Bai thought a little, then asked with a smile: “Does Young Miss Lou want to win that Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron?”
1to pale in significance by comparison.
