Half a month later, it was still the Heavenly Craft Pavilion...
"Please have a look, Fellow Daoist. This Azure Cloud Boat is absolutely a rare treasure among flying-boat artifacts... Not only are wind-element formations inscribed along both sides, it has another marvelous feature as well... Should danger arise, you can activate its final formation, increasing its speed by another thirty percent—enough to rival an ordinary high-grade flying-boat artifact."
The plump Heavenly Craft Pavilion shopkeeper smilingly took out a palm-sized, azure flying boat and introduced it to Aaron. "Only one hundred and fifty spirit stones. It truly isn't expensive!"
Aaron revealed a contemplative expression. "But each activation will damage the flying boat itself, won't it?"
"Well... that is indeed the case. Otherwise, this flying boat would practically be at the threshold of a high-grade artifact." The shopkeeper spoke frankly.
"Very well..." Aaron seemed finally to have made up his mind. "If you price the previous Octagonal Shield and the spirit beast pouch together at two hundred and sixty spirit stones, I'll buy it!"
The shopkeeper rapidly ran the numbers in his head. While he would lose a little on the mid-grade defensive artifact and the spirit beast pouch, selling them as a package would still bring a decent profit. He nodded. "Done. I'll give Fellow Daoist that favor!"
A short while later, Aaron left the Heavenly Craft Pavilion after spending two hundred and sixty spirit stones on two mid-grade artifacts—one for defense and one for movement—as well as Xiaoqing's new home.
He had gained quite a lot from selling his loot this time. Together with his previous savings, he now had nearly two thousand spirit stones—worth almost half a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Furthermore, whether he was selling spirit herbs or magical artifacts, Aaron always spaced out his disposal of stolen goods
