Manager Xue Yuling, Selling Demonic Cultivator Items

A short while later.

Bai Qingshuang led Ji Haoyuan to the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion.

The moment they entered the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, a young man dressed in its uniform came forward to greet them.

"Esteemed guest, may I ask what you wish to buy?"

Bai Qingshuang immediately spoke for Ji Haoyuan. "Daoist, I suggest you invite your manager over.

The senior beside me wishes to sell some items here and purchase a few things as well."

"Hmm...?"

Hearing Bai Qingshuang's words, the young man was plainly taken aback.

But he quickly understood and hurriedly nodded.

"Very well. Please wait a moment, you two."

Clearly, he had realized by then that Ji Haoyuan was no ordinary Qi Refining cultivator.

This was indeed beyond his ability to receive.

Before long.

A beautiful woman in a green dress approached from ahead.

Ji Haoyuan saw at a glance that she was, like him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Greetings, Daoist."

As soon as the woman in green came near, she courteously bowed to Ji Haoyuan.

"I am Xue Yuling, manager of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. May I ask what Daoist requires from our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion?"

"I have some rather special items that I wish to sell, and I would also like to purchase a few things from your Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. Would that be convenient for Daoist Xue?"

"Some rather special items for sale?"

A glint flashed through Xue Yuling's beautiful eyes, and she smiled as she nodded.

"Of course. So long as it is something used in cultivation, our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion will accept it."

She raised her eyes and glanced around before continuing to Ji Haoyuan.

"How about we discuss this in a Private Room upstairs? What do you think, Daoist?"

"Alright."

Ji Haoyuan nodded and followed Xue Yuling toward a Private Room upstairs.

Before going up, however, Xue Yuling did not forget to instruct the young man from before to attend to Bai Qingshuang.

Once Ji Haoyuan followed Xue Yuling into a Private Room, a maid promptly brought them spirit tea.

"Daoist Ji, this Osmanthus Spirit Fragrance Tea is a premium spirit tea unique to our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. You may savor it properly. I trust it will not disappoint you."

Ji Haoyuan picked up the tea cup before him and took a sip.

He found that the Osmanthus Spirit Fragrance Tea not only left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, but also sent an exceptionally cool current flowing through his body, making the spiritual power within him feel faintly cleansed.

"As expected of the unique spirit tea of your esteemed pavilion. It truly is fine tea."

Ji Haoyuan did not stint on his praise.

Xue Yuling covered her mouth and smiled.

"If Daoist Ji likes it, I will have someone prepare a packet for you to take away later."

Hmm...?

Ji Haoyuan was genuinely surprised upon hearing that.

The Exquisite Treasure Pavilion truly deserved to be a force whose business spanned the entire Southern Wasteland Domain.

This generosity alone was beyond what other merchants could match.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan did not stand on ceremony and immediately thanked Xue Yuling.

Xue Yuling smiled and waved her hand before changing the subject.

"By the way, Daoist Ji, you mentioned that you had some relatively special items you wished to sell to our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. What are they? Could you take them out for me to examine?"

"Of course."

Ji Haoyuan nodded, then took out several items from the two Demonic Cultivators he had dealt with before and placed them in front of Xue Yuling.

"Hmm? These are...?"

Xue Yuling's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

The next moment, she began carefully inspecting the items Ji Haoyuan had brought out.

"These are Demonic Fiend Stones, Blood River Crystals, Yin Sha Dust Sand...

"And this Demonic Dao spirit artifact, the Soul Capturing Banner..."

After taking stock of them, Xue Yuling could not help looking up at Ji Haoyuan.

"Daoist Ji, did you rob Demonic cultivators?

Why are all these items things used by Demonic cultivators?"

Though she said so, there was no unusual expression on Xue Yuling's face.

Clearly, the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion also accepted items used by Demonic cultivators.

As for their origin, Xue Yuling had merely asked casually and would not truly investigate further.

After all, the first principle of the Exquisite Merchant Guild was to honor its word and ensure that none of its customers' information was leaked.

That was also the true reason Ji Haoyuan had chosen this place.

After all, these involved items belonging to Demonic cultivators. If he took them elsewhere, they would inevitably draw attention.

If the Crimson Cloud Sect learned something and came to question him, it could easily lead to complications.

That would be quite troublesome.

Therefore.

Ji Haoyuan did not answer Xue Yuling's question. Instead, he smiled and asked about the price.

"What do you think? In Daoist Xue's opinion, how many Spirit Stones would your esteemed pavilion be willing to pay for these items?"

Xue Yuling thought for a moment. "Daoist Ji, most of these items from Demonic cultivators are materials and mineral deposits.

"Only two are true Demonic Dao spirit artifacts, and both are relatively ordinary.

"How about this? I will offer the standard market purchase price.

"For everything combined, I can give you four thousand Spirit Stones. What do you think?"

"Four thousand Spirit Stones?"

Ji Haoyuan nodded.

"No problem."

In truth, that price had already exceeded his expectations.

He had thought that if these items from Demonic Cultivators, which he had absolutely no use for, could sell for one or two thousand Spirit Stones, it would already be a profit.

Now that Xue Yuling was willing to purchase them for four thousand Spirit Stones, she clearly had not deliberately tried to drive down the price.

That was another benefit of coming to the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion.

They would not deliberately lower the price of these items simply because they belonged to Demonic cultivators.

If he had gone to the Crimson Cloud Treasure Tower, he likely would not have received such a return.

He might even have encountered plenty of unnecessary trouble.

After the two sides concluded the transaction, Xue Yuling looked at Ji Haoyuan again and asked:

"Daoist Ji, do you have any other items you wish to sell here?"

Ji Haoyuan thought briefly, then took out a large slab of frozen snake meat from his own possessions and asked with a smile:

"Daoist Xue, would your Exquisite Treasure Pavilion be willing to purchase meat from a Second Order Earth Spirit Demonic Python?"

"Meat from a Second Order Earth Spirit Demonic Python?"

Seeing what Ji Haoyuan had taken out, Xue Yuling was truly rather surprised this time.

She knew very well that the Second Order Demon Beast, the Earth Spirit Demonic Python, was no easy beast to deal with.

Since Ji Haoyuan could produce its meat now, perhaps it was because he...

At that thought, Xue Yuling's attitude toward Ji Haoyuan grew even more enthusiastic.

She smiled and nodded. "The meat of Second Order Demon Beasts has always been sought after by all the major restaurants, and our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion naturally accepts it as well.

"Moreover, I can assure Daoist Ji that the purchase price offered by our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion will never be lower than that of those restaurants."
