Su Chen asked curiously, "How many Spirit Stone–worth of items does your Myriad Treasures Pavilion usually keep in stock?"
Zhu Li did not quite understand what Su Chen was asking, but he still put on a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he gave a rough estimate.
"Branches of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion generally decide what grade of items to stock and how many to stock based on the region they are located in."
"For example, our Bright Moon City branch has at least four billion Spirit Stone–worth of items in reserve."
By the end, Zhu Li's face was filled with pride. As the steward of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, he possessed a natural arrogance when standing before Bright Moon City's local forces.
After all, their capital and strength completely crushed the local forces in the city.
He thought Su Chen would show a surprised expression, but that did not happen.
Four billion?
Su Chen's brows immediately shot up. That little?
He directly said calmly, "I'll trouble Steward Zhu to calculate the exact value and pack everything up for me. I want all the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's items."
"Al...right, huh?"
Zhu Li abruptly turned toward Su Chen and asked in a confirming tone, "Young Friend Su Chen, what did you just say?"
Su Chen said calmly, "I said that no matter what the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has, I want all of it."
Zhu Li suddenly sucked in a cold breath, his eyes filled with seriousness and confusion.
"Four billion Spirit Stones? Young Friend Su Chen, are you sure? This isn't a joke."
Buying out the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was far too terrifying. It had never happened before.
Moreover, Zhu Li seriously doubted the Su Family's financial strength. They had already spent so many Spirit Stones, and even if the Su Family had wiped out the Four Great Families, at most they could barely gather four billion Spirit Stones.
But he did not believe the Su Family would buy so many useless items.
Of the four billion Spirit Stone–worth of items, at least one-third would be of little help to cultivation. It would be equivalent to buying things just to let them gather dust in a warehouse.
Su Chen could not be bothered with any more nonsense and directly tossed over a storage ring. Inside were one billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Take this as the deposit."
Zhu Li took it and looked inside. He immediately sucked in a cold breath.
One billion Spirit Stones as a deposit!
At this point, no matter how suspicious he was, he had no choice but to believe it.
The other party had directly taken out one billion as a deposit. How could it be fake?
Zhu Li's eyes burned with excitement. A four-billion-Spirit-Stone sale would bring him an extremely terrifying commission.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go prepare everything right away."
Afraid that Su Chen would have to wait, Zhu Li immediately ran out and arranged for people to pack up the items before beginning to calculate their value.
In only half an hour, Zhu Li had brought everything before Su Chen.
"Young Clan Leader Su, these are all the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's items. Their total value is four billion, three hundred and fifty-seven million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. However, you are the first customer our Myriad Treasures Pavilion has ever encountered who is this generous, so we've waived seven million Spirit Stones for you."
Zhu Li held eleven top-grade storage rings in his hands. Their enormous spaces were stuffed full of heavenly treasures and earthly treasures.
Zhu Li had even thoughtfully categorized the various treasures, making everything clear at a glance.
After Su Chen checked and found no problems, he directly paid the remaining Spirit Stones.
However, he still asked with lingering dissatisfaction, "Is this all the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has? Don't you have anything better?"
Zhu Li could not help swallowing. This still isn't good enough? Among the items Su Chen had bought, several treasures were meant for Void Refinement stage experts.
Doesn't your Su Family only have one Void Refinement stage expert?
Yet Su Chen's tone was filled with disdain, as if he were saying, Is this all the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has?
Zhu Li had originally been proud of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, but Su Chen had come in and bought them out right away. It made him lose confidence all at once.
"What aspect do you mean by 'better'?"
Su Chen did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Your Myriad Treasures Pavilion can place orders, right?"
Zhu Li's heart jolted. Su Chen still wanted to place an order? Did that mean the Su Family still had Spirit Stones?
My goodness!
Zhu Li hurriedly said, "Of course. Whatever you want, I can transfer it from other branches or even the headquarters. However, you'll need to pay part of the deposit in advance."
Su Chen nodded and began, "Cultivation pills from the third to fifth tier—bring me one hundred thousand of each to start. And one hundred thousand healing pills."
After saying this, Su Chen sank into deep thought.
The smile on Zhu Li's face suddenly contracted, leaving it full of bewilderment.
What are you talking about?
One hundred thousand cultivation pills of every grade from the third to the fifth?
Are you sure you mean one hundred thousand?
"Wait a moment, Young Clan Leader Su. Are you sure you didn't misspeak?"
"A third-tier cultivation pill costs at least fifty thousand Spirit Stones each. One hundred thousand of them would be five billion Spirit Stones."
"A fourth-tier cultivation pill starts at five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, while fifth-tier pills basically start at two million."
"Are you sure you want to buy this many?"
If Su Chen had not bought out the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and had come to tell him he wanted one hundred thousand pills of every grade from the third to the fifth, Zhu Li would have thought the man was an idiot.
But now, he instinctively felt that Su Chen could afford it.
Su Chen pondered briefly. The total cost of everything just now should only be a little over two hundred billion, seemingly not even reaching one trillion.
And his Lower-Grade Spirit Stone balance still had sixty-five quintillion and 1.563 quadrillion...
"Mm... Add another one hundred thousand of each. Make it two hundred thousand apiece!"
Watching Su Chen's serious expression, Zhu Li completely lost his composure. He had thought Su Chen's thoughtful expression meant that he was reorganizing his words.
He had never expected that Su Chen thought the amount was too small!
After speaking, Su Chen looked at Zhu Li suspiciously. "Steward Zhu, your Myriad Treasures Pavilion can handle this, right?"
Handle it? Not a chance!
The corner of Zhu Li's mouth twitched as he said, "This... is truly rather difficult. Third- and fourth-tier pills definitely won't be a problem, but two hundred thousand fifth-tier pills is simply too many. Even the headquarters wouldn't be able to gather them all in a short time."
"How about you take a look at something else?"
As he spoke, Zhu Li hurriedly handed over a catalog containing every item the Myriad Treasures Pavilion currently had for sale.
In truth, he had been somewhat bluffing just now. Not to mention fifth-tier pills—even fourth-tier pills could not be gathered in quantities of two hundred thousand. Only third-tier cultivation pills could be scraped together in sufficient numbers.
Su Chen glanced at him suspiciously. Guessing that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion probably did not have that many pills, he pointed to the Dragon Transformation Pill he had bought at the auction and asked, "Do you have many pills like this at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion?"
"Uh..."
Zhu Li's expression turned somewhat awkward. He answered, "Pills like this are extremely troublesome to refine, and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion doesn't have many in reserve either."
Su Chen waved his hand, unwilling to hear more. Somewhat speechlessly, he said, "Your Myriad Treasures Pavilion is far too useless. You don't have any pills at all."
The smile on Zhu Li's face stiffened completely, but he was unable to refute him.
He opens with two hundred thousand fifth-tier pills. What grounds do I have to argue with him?
But in all honesty, Zhu Li was also somewhat worried. Even if the Myriad Treasures Pavilion could truly produce two hundred thousand fifth-tier pills, their value would be at least two hundred billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Could he really take them out?
