It was actually only a quarter past two in the morning when we came out of Alchemist Geng's yard.

The sun is shining brightly today, it is a good weather.

Without the interference of the strong wind, the streets have returned to prosperity for a long time.

The monks who had been hiding in the house for many days also walked out of the house and came to the street.

Suddenly, the streets and alleys were filled with a sea of people.

It's as if I want to make up for all the fun I didn't have time to join in during the previous Chinese New Year.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, various small vendors also opened their stalls along the street, forming a long queue.

Xiao Chen Walking on the bustling main street, I couldn't help but have the idea of buying some gadgets.

Of course, he didn't care about the decorations and focused on the various snacks.

"Fresh Fried Fish Crisps is out of the pot!"

"Come on ten!"

"Specially made Hundred Flavors Preserved Fruit, cheaply processed."

"Ten skewers here!"

"Spirit-Adding Rice Cake produced by Funan Island is sold only once a year."

"Ten pounds!"

Walking down the street, Xiao Chen tasted almost every delicacy.

This cost more than 1,600 Spirit Stone.

The way he ate and drank frequently made many casual cultivators passing by look at him sideways.

Most of the low-level monks were envious, but a few Golden Core colleagues were surprised at how he had such a big appetite.

Doesn't this guy belong to Taotie?

I saw that I had eaten almost several hundred kilograms, but why is it not over yet?

Of course, there are also some Golden Core cultivator who think that it is inevitable that the dignified True Person will lose face by eating and drinking like this on the street.

There should be a table in a restaurant in Fangshi, so that the taste of high-level monks can be reflected.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Chen doesn't care about that.

He naturally has other ways to gain enough face, and he doesn't need to use that method to show off his taste.

Of course, he wasn't just wandering around aimlessly.

Instead, I walked along the main street to the middle of Listening Wave Market, and then walked into one of the largest stores.

I have acquired so much debris before, it is time to deal with it.

Especially since there are so many Spirit Artifacts that you can't use even if you carry them with you, why not replace them with Spirit Stones.

Today, major stores are still bustling with people coming and going.

So much so that the guys are almost overwhelmed.

Many monks can only choose the spiritual objects by themselves first, and then call the assistants to come and help after they are almost done.

But at the entrance of the store, there were seven or eight pretty maids standing in a row, responsible for welcoming and delivering guests.

Only after seeing Golden Core cultivator will someone take the initiative to greet him.

Seeing Xiao Chen coming, the maid at the front immediately lit up.

He quickly came over and said with a smile, "Senior, welcome to the Azure Treasure Pavilion. If you have any needs, please ask directly."

"I'll just come over and take a look."

Xiao Chen did not directly reveal his intention. "Where is your Spirit Artifact here?"

Although he came to sell Spirit Artifact, he planned to check the latest Spirit Artifact price first and use it as a reference before making transactions to prevent himself from suffering losses.

"Senior, please go to the third floor!"

The maid immediately bowed respectfully, and then took the initiative to lead the way in front of Xiao Chen.

The swaying steps when walking are pleasing to the eye, and it can be seen that they have been practiced deliberately for a long time.

On the third floor of the Azure Treasure Pavilion, the ones on the left are all Third-Tier Spirit Tool, and on the right are different varieties of Third-Order Spirit Pill.

So as soon as Xiao Chen came up, I heard someone on the right exclaiming. "How come Water Essence Pill has become so expensive?"

"Who set the prices here, and why did they suddenly rise so much?"

Someone immediately echoed, "That is to say, it was only sold for one thousand yuan Spirit Stone next year, why do you want one thousand and fifty yuan now?"

"If you don't give us an explanation today, I will never buy anything from you again."

"Not only that, we also want others to know about it."

When I turned around, I saw that there were five Golden Core cultivator walking together on the right side.

Although the other three people did not speak at this time, they all stared at the steward next to him who was smiling with unkind expressions, obviously very dissatisfied.

"Seniors, please calm down and don't get angry. We also have our own reasons."

The steward quickly opened his hands and pressed down, and explained to the left and right, "The price increase is indeed sudden, but it does not mean that we have to increase the price. In fact, the situation has changed now."

"Water Essence Pill in all stores years ago is indeed only one thousand Spirit Stone."

"That's because all the Water Essence Pills in our entire city come from the three famous Alchemists of East City."

"But since a while ago, they have all sent letters saying that they have received Conscription Letter from Sword Hut. They should have gone to Sword Hut by now."

"That is to say, Water Essence Pill is now out of stock."

"When will it recover? I still don't know any news."

"Everyone is increasing their prices now. If we didn't keep up, the companies outside would have rushed over and bought all the goods."

Such a good explanation.

However, the monks still didn't buy it, and one of them asked, "If that's the case, why have the prices of other pills also increased?"

"Is it possible that according to your intention, all Alchemist were invited away by the Upper Sect?"

Some people directly advised, "Forget it, let's go."

"I heard that Hundred Herbs Workshop next door also has access to the Azure Sea. They must have cheap elixirs there."

As soon as these words came out, the manager quickly tried to persuade him to stay, "Oh, some seniors are staying here!"

"This Upper Sect recruitment has indeed affected a wide range of people. Not only our Listening Wave Sea, but also Southern Marsh Sea in the east and Azure Sea in the west."

"All the Alchemists, weapon refiners, and Formation Masters who are worthy of their name have all been invited away by a few big Upper Sects."

"Nowadays, even if you go to another store, the price will be the same."

"Azure Treasure Pavilion has been open for so long and it has always been the most affordable place."

While he was still explaining earnestly, Xiao Chen was slightly startled here.

What is the situation? Is it too exaggerated to suddenly conduct such a large-scale call?

Is it possible that several major sects are going to make some big moves?

If it were a normal situation, it shouldn't alarm so many casual cultivators. Could it be that something bad happened?

Xiao Chen began to recall the information he had read a few days ago.

The source of those things is not very reliable, but the truth of the matter is probably not very optimistic, otherwise it would not be like this.

At the same time, he remembered the situation he just encountered at Alchemist Geng's home.

Well... I can only say that Fourth-tier Alchemist is quite respectable, and he was able to induce Nascent Soul True Lord to visit him personally.

Others were given a letter and did not receive such good treatment at all.

But judging from this situation, 80% of Alchemist Geng will also be recruited into Cloud Wave Sword Abode.

No wonder he sighed heavily after hearing that Treading Frost True Monarch was coming. He must have received the news in advance.

Hiss~!

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, it was so dangerous!

If the recruitment is advanced a few days, I'm afraid Alchemist Geng won't have time to help Refine Breakthrough Spirit Pill himself.

Fortunately, I went there in time and caught the last pot of elixirs.

"Senior, please come over here. All the Spirit Artifact in our store are here."

Then the maid took the initiative to introduce, "The area outside is all defensive type Spirit Artifact. If senior wants to see the offensive type, please move a little further inside."

It's interesting to see expensive things displayed outside.

Xiao Chen took back his thoughts and browsed through the prices of Spirit Artifact here.

As expected, the price of Spirit Artifact has also been generally increased.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the panacea, it has basically increased by about 20%.

The innermost basic styles are also priced starting at 120,000 Spirit Stone.

This thing is no better than a panacea. The price is already high, and the 20% increase has almost reached the limit.

If there is no real and major emergency, it will definitely not be sold if it becomes more expensive.

It is enough to prove that all the weapon refiners have indeed been recruited.

But this is good news for Xiao Chen.

After all, he is not here to buy Spirit Artifact, but to sell Spirit Artifact.

Since the selling price has increased, the recycling price should also be higher.

Even if it cannot increase by 20% at the same time, it should at least increase by 10%.

"I want to sell Spirit Artifact."

Xiao Chen looked back at the maid. "Where should we go?"

The other party immediately replied, "Senior, please move to the fifth floor. This matter must be handled by the steward."

Although she felt a little disappointed in her heart, she still walked respectfully and led the way.

When he came to a wing room on the left side of the fifth floor, he took the initiative to help open the door. "Senior, please come in."

As soon as I walked in, there was a row of spiritual flowers in front of me.

Stepping through a small open door from the side, I saw a Golden Core cultivator immersed in checking the account book.

He seemed very busy.

It wasn't until he heard footsteps approaching that he took the time to stand up and said, "Welcome to the Azure Treasure Pavilion, fellow Daoist. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point, "I want to sell a batch of Spirit Artifact."

With that said, with a wave of his hand, he took out all the Spirit Artifact that he didn't need.

On the spot, they piled up in the house and formed a hill taller than a person.

"Ah?"

The steward blinked his eyes and felt like his brain was blurred.

What is this?

To be honest, although he has not been in the Azure Treasure Pavilion for a long time, he has met many customers.

But I have never been exposed to such a situation, so I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Guest, wait a moment, let me check the quality of Spirit Artifact first."

The steward relied on his own habits and walked out while replying.

However, when he stretched out his hand halfway, he suddenly stopped for a moment.

No, why do these Spirit Artifact all look like they have the same mark? They seem to be a set?

Standard Spirit Artifact?

After realizing this, he suddenly froze again.

No, where did you get it?

It can't be that Cloud Wave Sword Abode's warehouse has been emptied, right?

You know, under normal circumstances, one or two scattered pieces of Spirit Artifact are traded.

Except for Great Powers, no casual cultivator can hold so many Spirit Artifact.

Therefore, this time he was stunned for three full breaths before finally reacting and quickly bowed and said, "Excuse me, please wait a moment. I can't make the decision in this matter. Please allow me to call the steward."

Xiao Chen didn't care. "Okay, go ahead."

There were so many Spirit Artifacts involving a large number of Spirit Stones, and he didn't expect a steward to handle them.

Coincidentally, the manager of the Azure Treasure Pavilion was currently on the sixth floor, receiving a monk Golden Core Great Perfection from a local wealthy family.

The two were chatting happily.

Suddenly, I heard the new steward knocking on the door rashly. "Master Steward, I need you to come here."

He immediately became angry, but because the distinguished guest was right in front of him, he didn't get angry.

After a brief confession, the manager came outside.

In order to avoid disturbing the distinguished guests, he did not start to admonish until the two of them came down the stairs. "You kid, why are you so blind?"

"Business has just resumed today. Can't you see that I am busy handling big business?"

"And didn't I tell you yesterday that on special days, you can handle business below Class A by yourself."

"Why do you have to come to me for anything?"

Because he was in a hurry to go back upstairs, the steward walked in a hurry and came to the door of the wing while scolding.

He immediately put away the scowl on his face, showed a faint smile, and stepped through the door.

"Ahem, I wonder which guest it is... hmm?"

Before he finished speaking when he walked in, the manager saw a room full of Spirit Artifact.

Even with his knowledge, he was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to what was going on.

"Nonsense, just nonsense!"

He immediately turned around and glared at the steward behind him. "I asked you to manage the spiritual weapons in the pavilion. Why did you move all the spiritual weapons out of the warehouse?"

"When guests come over and there's not even a place to sit, who taught you to work like this?"

However, the steward's reaction was completely different from what he expected.

First his expression changed twice, then he took a few steps closer and introduced the situation in a low voice.

"Ah? What... what?"

The manager looked at Spirit Artifact in the room again, especially the unified mark left by the Great Xuan Immortal Dynasty on it.

Then he stared at the steward, obviously confused.

He has never seen this scene before.

"Um... honored guest, please take a seat."

The steward was stunned for a few breaths, then quickly came to his senses, and directly pointed to the steward's original position and motioned for Xiao Chen to take a seat for the time being.

Then he reprimanded the steward. "What are you still doing here? Go and serve tea to the distinguished guests!"

"Go to my room and take the innermost box of Spirit Tea. Be quick and easy."

Then he looked at Xiao Chen again with a smile, "Hahaha, this distinguished guest, I'm really sorry. I can't make the decision in this matter."

"Please wait a moment and let me ask the shopkeeper to come over."

The steward, who had just walked to the door, heard this and suddenly cursed in his heart.

You obviously can't make the decision, but you still have the nerve to let me decide what to do.

"Okay, go ahead."

Xiao Chen waved his hand, not putting on airs to embarrass anyone.

After all, according to his estimation, this batch of Spirit Artifact is worth a lot of money and can be sold for at least three million Spirit Stone.

It is indeed not something that ordinary Golden Core cultivator can handle.

However, while waiting, he did not sit idle. Instead, he walked around the fifth floor.

Azure Treasure Pavilion On the fifth floor, a small square window about a foot in size will be dug out of the wall every ten feet.

Place a rare treasure inside and cover it with a completely transparent crystal layer.

On the wall between the two treasures, a calligraphy master was specially invited to copy the introduction and special sources of different treasures.

There are a total of sixteen treasures, each with a different origin, to highlight Azure Treasure Pavilion's heritage and relationship network.

Xiao Chen noticed this as soon as he went upstairs.

To be honest, he is indeed somewhat lacking in knowledge, especially not as good as those descendants of Hidden Dao Heritage.

So when I encounter such an opportunity, I naturally want to broaden my horizons.

This is so that when you encounter the same thing in the future, you can identify it on the spot.

"Eh, Dragon and Tiger Intersecting Stone?"

Halfway through the process, Xiao Chen suddenly spotted a particularly familiar piece of Strange Stone.

One end is milky white and the other end is jet black. It is the piece of Yin Yang Stone that I found in the side hall of the ruins.

From his visual inspection, there was absolutely no difference in size and shape between the two stones.

After carefully reading the introduction on the wall, it turned out to be Yin Yang Power.

But unlike the effect Xiao Chen initially guessed, Dragon and Tiger Intersecting Stone is not something used to understand the transformation of yin and yang, but is more conducive to the reconciliation of yin and yang.

To put it simply, it can be understood as a special spiritual object that helps Dual Cultivation.

The gap here is huge.

If he consumes it alone according to the way he understood Way of Yin and Yang before, at least 90% of its effectiveness will be wasted.

"It seems that it is best to have all the things on hand for appraisal."

Xiao Chen has recently obtained several items of unknown origin, and it seems not safe to just rely on your own guesses.

Especially the seizure from Sea Race is hard to even guess.

Listening Wave Island, where Jade Leaf Commerce Association happens to be, is not far from here. At the same time, the Chinese New Year has just ended, and Kuang Ruihong should also be in the Chamber of Commerce.

When Spirit Artifact is sold out, I'll stop by and have it appraised.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Chen also looked at the remaining rare treasures.

Unfortunately, no new discoveries were made later.

But just as he was browsing these treasures, the shopkeeper of the Azure Treasure Pavilion also rushed over in time.

Behind him were the manager and two stewards.

"This is your... ah...Daoist Xiao?"

The other party arrived in a hurry and was even wearing Cloud Wave Sword Abode and Spirit Robe.

When I saw Xiao Chen, my eyes suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief.

Obviously he didn't expect that the two sides would meet here.

In fact, before coming here, after listening to the report from the general manager, he secretly thought about the origin of the Spirit Artifact standard.

But now I saw that the seller was Daoist Xiao, and I was relieved.

It's very normal for this person to have Spirit Artifact in his hand. Maybe it's the Hidden Dao Heritage behind him.

In addition, he has already heard that Xiao Chen shows off his power in New Ruin.

At the same time, more than ten Storage Ring were obtained.

It is normal to have Spirit Artifact inside, and it is definitely not dirty, so you can trade with confidence.

"Hey, it's you."

Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked, "I seem to have an impression. Have we met on Red Flower Island?"

The shopkeeper immediately nodded. "Yes, when I went to watch the ceremony with the sect, I happened to witness the peerless grace of fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist's visit to the Azure Treasure Pavilion today really makes this place shine."

Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. "Fellow Daoist, you are overly complimentary. Let's stop chatting and take a look at things first?"

The other party also agreed very much, "Oh, I kept you waiting for a long time, I will personally count Spirit Artifact."

With that said, he took the lead and approached the side room and began to inspect each item one by one.

The other three people also rushed forward to help.

In a short while, all Spirit Artifact were counted.

"Including this piece, the total market price is 3.62 million Spirit Stone."

After finishing the account, the shopkeeper was obviously a little shocked.

It was obviously too difficult for him to draw out so many Spirit Stone at once.

Even if you go to borrow money, such a large amount Spirit Stone is not a problem that can be solved in a short time.

And if all the Spirit Stone on hand is spent on Spirit Artifact, the rest of the business will inevitably be affected.

So after pondering for a moment, the shopkeeper waved his hand and dismissed the manager and steward.

Then he took the initiative to confess. "Daoist Xiao, I'm really sorry, I don't have that many Spirit Stone on hand. However, I have another way to cooperate."

"This Azure Treasure Pavilion has been open for sixty-three years, which is more than a century."

"There has never been any default or cheating."

"If you can trust me, put this batch of Spirit Artifact here and wait for one year or after all of them are sold out, and then settle it in one go."

"As compensation, I am willing to increase the purchase price by an additional 10%."

"And how about we share the profits from selling this batch of Spirit Artifact in half?"

He took the initiative to offer a 50-50 split, which was a very large profit margin.

The reason why we do this is because it would be a pity to push the business out of the door-to-door business.

Even if he loses some profits for this, he still hopes to reach cooperation.

Moreover, as Sword Abode Disciple, he has naturally learned that weapon refiners are currently being recruited, and the outside world is very short of supply.

If you can keep this batch of Spirit Artifact for sale, you can undoubtedly effectively expand the reputation of your store.

"Profits split half way?"

Xiao Chen thought for a while and nodded, "Then it's settled."

If you trade according to this plan, you can make much more money than selling directly.

The additional 10% of the purchase price alone is a total of 360,000 Spirit Stone.

Not to mention that there is still half of the profit in the future. According to the dividend of 20,000 Spirit Stone for one Spirit Artifact, if it can be sold out, it will be about more than 1.4 million Spirit Stone.

If the price of Spirit Artifact continues to rise next, you will even earn more.

Xiao Chen currently has no shortage of Spirit Stone, and there is no urgent use of Spirit Stone in the recent period.

Moreover, this batch of Spirit Artifact was harvested from the ruins and was not purchased by him, so there was no cost pressure.

To put it bluntly, this is almost a costless transaction for him.

At the same time, he was not afraid that the other party would default on the debt, so he agreed very happily.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was almost overjoyed. "Daoist Xiao is so happy!"

As he said that, he took out a pen and paper and wrote a strict Spirit Contract on the spot, "Please keep it, fellow Daoist, and we will use this as proof."

"After one year, fellow Daoist just come to me and ask for Spirit Stone."

"No matter what the situation is then, even if I try to sell the pot, I will definitely not lose half a piece of Spirit Stone from fellow Daoists."

Xiao Chen took Spirit Contract and smiled slightly, "No need to say more, I believe that fellow Daoist is him."

The two negotiated the deal and exchanged pleasantries.

It wasn't until the other party noticed that Xiao Chen seemed to be losing interest, that he took the initiative to get up and take him to the door of the store.

"Daoist Xiao Walk slowly, come over anytime you have time Inspector."
