A major purchasing plan

"Sir, are you shipping or buying goods?" the pawnshop clerk greeted him warmly.

The staff here remember every customer's face perfectly.

The moment someone steps through this door, the clerk can tell whether they have pawned items before.

Wu Qi's attire clearly indicates that he is a major customer and will undoubtedly be very generous. Even if he is selling goods, the treasures in his possession will certainly not be ordinary items.

For pawnshops, the key to making money is constantly buying and selling goods, so they naturally know how to cater to different customers.

As expected, Wu Qi was led directly into the VIP room.

The pawnshop owner He Chen personally greeted Wu Qi, saying, "Distinguished guest, do we have anything you'd like? Or perhaps you have some goods to sell? Rest assured, for a distinguished guest like yourself, our prices are always fair."

Wu Qi casually waved his hand, and the Soul Tool on his wrist flashed with light. In the next instant, ten High-Rank Medicinal Herbs were lined up in front of him.

The unique aroma of High-Rank Medicinal Herbs quickly spread, filling the room; just a whiff was enough to refresh the mind and spirit.

He Chen swallowed hard, a greedy look on his face.

The prices of High-Rank Medicinal Herbs are transparent in the market, with very small profit margins. But don't forget, there are many customers who want High-Rank Medicinal Herbs, but very few sellers.

The most important thing in the pawnshop business is personal relationships. With such rare and precious goods in hand, there's no need to worry about those important customers not willingly paying the bill.

"Distinguished guest, these medicinal herbs you provided would average around two thousand gold coins each if sold directly; the price would be lower if you pawned them."

According to Wu Qi's investigation, the exchange rate between currencies on the Sun Moon Continent was approximately one gold coin equal to one hundred silver coins equal to ten thousand copper coins.

In total, the purchasing power of one silver coin is equivalent to that of one Gold Soul Coin, and two thousand gold coins are roughly worth two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin.

High-Rank Medicinal Herbs only cost tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coin in the Douluo Continent, but they have such a high premium in the Sun Moon Continent.

This is understandable. Soul Master on the Sun Moon Continent are generally weaker than those on the Douluo Continent, and High-Rank Medicinal Herbs mostly grow deep in the Soul Beast Forest. Since weaker Soul Master naturally cannot venture deep into these forests, High-Rank Medicinal Herbs herbs are scarce.

Offering a buyback price of two thousand gold coins, the pawnshop would certainly still make a profit, so the actual value is likely much higher.

For Wu Qi, 20,000 gold coins for ten medicinal herbs would be enough to cover his expenses on the Sun Moon Continent. Besides, these herbs were all produced within the Icefire Yin Yang Well, so there was almost no cost involved.

"I have no problem with the price, but if I may be so bold, can you eat all this by yourself?"

He Chen scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "I really can't eat all of this by myself. If you don't mind, I can contact a few friends to help us take over the goods. It might take some time, what do you think?"

Wu Qi nodded slightly.

He Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then said apologetically, "Honored guest, please excuse me."

"Xiao Liu, take our distinguished guest there."

Wu Qi waved his hand, interrupting, "I'll just browse around here; I don't need to go to the brothels."

He Chen an awkward smile, said goodbye, and quickly ran out of the pawnshop.

Wu Qi's impression of the Sun Moon Continent was from ten thousand years later.

But this was ten thousand years ago, and the environment then was very different from what would happen later.

While browsing around the pawnshop, Wu Qi also chatted idly with the shop assistants.

"Earl lord, if you need Soul Tool Technology, you might want to check out Changde Academy in the city."

"Changde Academy is a branch of the Lieyang Royal Academy, and it offers courses on Soul Tool. Given your status, you should be able to gain something from visiting Changde Academy."

When traveling in unfamiliar places, if you don't create an identity for yourself, you will more or less encounter some trouble and obstacles.

With Wu Qi's strength, if he released even a little bit of his Soul Power, others would know that he was a powerful figure. Even if his so-called Earl status was fake, no one would bother to verify it.

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, strength is the only measure of status!

"Changde Academy, huh? What rank of Soul Engineer is the strongest there?" Wu Qi asked.

The pawnshop clerk gave a wry smile and pleaded repeatedly, "Earl Excellency, you are too kind. Soul Engineer are a very prestigious profession, and I am just a lowly servant. How could I dare to inquire about the affairs of such important figures?"

Changing the subject, he added in a low voice, "Sir, a few days ago, I heard from a guest that the Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department at the Changde Academy is Level Six Soul Master."

Listening to the waiter's explanation, Wu Qi sighed inwardly.

Compared to the Sun Moon Continent, the inheritance on the Douluo Continent is more like family tradition.

The skills are passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, ensuring that the techniques remain within the family forever.

Only if the next generation lacks Talent or has no offspring will the inheritance be considered for outsiders.

Furthermore, according to custom, when accepting outsiders Personal Disciple, there will always be a hidden skill. This kind of inheritance is very fragile, and once an accident occurs, the inheritance will inevitably be broken.

Even without any unforeseen events, if a technology is weakened by each generation, Thousand-Year years is enough for it to disappear.

In this way, the noble profession of Soul Engineer completely disappeared from the Douluo Continent.

In contrast, on the Sun Moon Continent, although advanced Soul Tool Technology are still kept secret, the academies offer related courses, ensuring the continuous transmission of basic Soul Tool Technology and preventing their disappearance. In fact, if a few exceptionally Talent individuals emerge in the future, Soul Tool Technology will be pushed to its peak.

This time, Wu Qi not only intends to bring back the Soul Tool Technology, but also to open related courses at the Spirit Hall Academy.

The reason Lou Gao and others were previously allowed to offer blacksmithing courses at the Spirit Hall Academy was to pave the way for the development of Soul Tool Technology. Of course, to teach others, one must first thoroughly understand the Soul Tool Technology.

When Lou Gao and others are finally able to teach, Wu Qi will likely have become the Pope.

His greatest achievement was enabling the Soul Tool Technology to take root and flourish again in the Douluo Continent!

About an hour later, the shopkeeper returned, bringing two friends with him.

The three of them pooled their money and spent 21,000 gold coins to buy all ten medicinal herbs from Wu Qi.

With the money, Wu Qi had no reason to stay at the pawnshop any longer; next, he needed to go to the Changde Academy to check on the situation.

In a secluded room of the pawnshop, the three managers sat together.

"Old He, we've made a fortune following you this time. We're all brothers, so if you want to sell goods across regions in the future, I'll give you a discount," the elderly man in red and fine clothes said warmly.

The old man in blue smiled calmly, "It's the same here."

He Chen chuckled and then said, "My men say that distinguished guest is a mysterious Earl."

"Our Sea Plunder City, is far from the center of the continent, and there are few noble settlements. If it weren't for the existence of the Changde Academy, our three pawnshops wouldn't be where they are today."

"I've heard that the Earl seems interested in Soul Tool Technology and even intends to visit Changde Academy. We have important intelligence; how about we do those important figures at the Changde Academy a favor?"

The other two shopkeepers exchanged glances and agreed with He Chen's arrangement.

Pawnshops, after all, need to maintain some big clients.

Wu Qi exchanged over 20,000 gold coins in one go, presumably indicating he has a large purchasing plan coming up.

For the academy, this is a considerable sum of money. Especially for the Soul Tool Department, whose annual expenses are substantial.

Having brought such a large sum of business to the Changde Academy, will the college's higher-ups prioritize their pawnshop when they want to buy or sell goods in the future?
