"Shopkeeper, did I hear that right? One Mid-grade Spirit Stone?" Ye Zhen's eyes widened. That offer had nearly made him think he had misheard.
The selling price was two High-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to two hundred and forty Mid-grade Spirit Stones, yet the purchase price was one Mid-grade Spirit Stone.
A price gap of two hundred and forty times!

Tongtian Trading House ranks only among the top ten businesses on all of Chaotic Void Island, but in terms of the various spirit herbs they specialize in, they are the foremost on Chaotic Void Island!"
