Before long, Chen Changqing and Chen Ye arrived at a shop in the City of Slaughter, led by the Know-It-All.

Hengchang Pawnshop?

Upon seeing the shop's signboard, Chen Changqing frowned and looked at Know-It-All with a surprised expression:

"Know-It-All."

"You're not going to tell me this is a pawn shop, are you?"

The Know-It-All nodded and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Li guessed correctly."

"It's a pawnshop!"

Upon hearing the Know-It-All's reply, Chen Changqing frowned suddenly.

He had asked the Know-It-All to take him to a shop where he could buy things, but the Know-It-All led him to a shop instead.

You see, he didn't have anything to pawn.

Seeing Chen Changqing's hesitant expression, the Know-It-All quickly explained:

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are unaware of this."

"This pawnshop, besides pawning things, also sells many good items."

"After all, some people pawn items and fail to redeem them by the due date, making them 'dead pawns' and belonging to the pawnshop!"

"Hengchang Pawnshop has sold many rare items, some of which are even coveted by the Four Great Families!"

Upon hearing this from the Know-It-All, both Chen Changqing and Chen Ye were taken aback.

Everyone knows that in the Blood Moon World, the Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li Four Great Families are powerful and influential figures.

The fact that they were all envious of some of the items in Hengchang Pawnshop shows just how extraordinary this pawnshop is.

After all, without a strong foundation and background...

Given the methods of the Four Great Families, Hengchang Pawnshop would probably have ceased to exist long ago.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing asked:

"Know-It-All, who's behind Hengchang Pawnshop?"

"Ah?"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, the Know-It-All was taken aback and shook his head, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Li, you've put me in a difficult position."

"I know that Hengchang Pawnshop has powerful backers, but I really don't know who they are."

Chen Changqing glanced at him briefly, but didn't ask any further questions.

He was just curious and asked that one extra question.

What I'm more concerned about is whether I can buy what I want here.

"Go inside!"

After a slight pause, Chen Changqing said this.

"Good!"

Then, Know-It-All went into the shop first, followed closely by Chen Changqing and Chen Ye.

As soon as the three of them stepped into Hengchang Pawnshop, a servant came forward to greet them.

Before the servant could speak, the Know-It-All spoke first:

Is Elder Qiu here?

"I brought him business."

Upon hearing the Know-It-All's words, the servant's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked for Elder Qiu, knowing that the other man must be a regular customer here.

"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go find Manager Qiu right away!"

Without lingering, the servant quickly left.

Before long, an elderly man with white hair and beard lifted the curtain and came out to Chen Changqing and the other two.

His eyes narrowed to slits as he sized up Chen Changqing and the other two.

Finally, the old man fixed his gaze on the Know-It-All and said with a smile:

"Know-It-All, you know-it-all, you're here again? Judging from the tone you were talking about just now, you've got a big deal on your hands?"

As he spoke, Elder Qiu glanced meaningfully at Chen Changqing and Chen Ye.

The Know-It-All -all chuckled, glanced sideways at Chen Changqing, and replied:

"Elder Qiu."

My friend wants to buy some nice things.

Upon hearing this, Elder Qiu officially turned his attention to Chen Changqing.

He had just discovered that Chen Changqing and Chen Ye were both Cultivator.

However, Elder Qiu didn't care about this. In Slaughter City, as long as you can afford the price, who cares who you are?

"Young man, our Hengchang Pawnshop has a lot of good stuff."

"I just don't know if you can afford the price, young man?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing remained calm, waved his hand, and directly retrieved a Storage Bag containing a full 100,000 Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Old shopkeeper, do you think I can afford to ask for such a price?"

Chen Changqing said calmly.

Elder Qiu glanced at the Storage Bag briefly, and his face immediately lit up with a smile:

"Well!"

"May I ask your name, young friend?"

What is needed?

Upon hearing Elder Qiu's question, Chen Changqing didn't hesitate and replied directly:

My name is Li Feiyu.

"I want a treasure that contains the power of the Five Elements Origin and the Four Symbols Power."

"If your store carries them, I'll buy them all!"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's words, Elder Qiu frowned and murmured:

"This..."

Seeing Elder Qiu's expression, Chen Changqing asked:

"How?"

"Don't you have any?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qiu's brows relaxed, and he smiled, saying:

"Young friend Li, the treasures you seek, which contain the power of the Five Elements Origin and the Four Symbols Power, are all diluted treasures!"

"Not to mention City of Slaughter, they're a rare commodity throughout the entire Blood Moon World."

Seeing that Elder Qiu did not directly say no, Chen Changqing smiled slightly.

He knew perfectly well that if Elder Qiu said that, it meant that Hengchang Pawnshop had something he needed. Saying it was very rare was just a way to drive up the price!

"Elder Qiu, as long as the goods are good, the price is negotiable!"

After a slight pause, Chen Changqing replied in this way.

Elder Qiu smiled and nodded, humming softly:

"Young friend, please wait a moment!"

After saying that, Elder Qiu turned and walked towards the back hall.

Before long, Elder Qiu returned to the hall, carrying two items covered by a black cloth.

"Young friend, these two items should meet your needs."

As he spoke, Elder Qiu didn't hesitate and directly lifted the first piece of black cloth.

"Roar!"

In an instant, a Dragon Roar's roar resounded throughout the pawnshop, and Golden Light radiated in all directions.

Upon closer inspection, a bead the size of a fist was revealed beneath the black cloth, lying quietly in the brocade box.

On the surface of the bead, faint dragon-shaped phantoms could be seen moving about.

Chen Changqing was shocked when he saw this.

"The Dragon-Elephant Power!"

Just as Chen Changqing was sizing him up, Elder Qiu said with a smile:

"This is a Dragon Ball."

"To be precise, it's a Pseudo Dragon Pearl."

"As you should know, young friend, whether in the Nine Provinces Continent or other Minor Worlds, true dragons have long been a legend."

"However, pseudo-dragons are quite common!"

"This Pseudo Dragon Pearl was obtained from a fake dragon."

"The Dragon Qi it contains is quite pure; is it what you desire, young friend?"

Chen Changqing did not rush to reply, knowing full well that Long's promiscuity had left behind many offspring.

With a slight sense, he suddenly discovered that the Golden Core within his body was trembling slightly.

Clearly, the Dragon-Elephant Power contained within this Pseudo Dragon Pearl is precisely the Azure Dragon power he needs.

In his excitement, Chen Changqing came to his senses and looked at Elder Qiu:

Name your price!

Elder Qiu smiled faintly and replied:

"Since you, young friend Li, are a friend of the Know-It-All, this item will be fine for 50,000 Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Chen Changqing didn't haggle and readily nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll take it!"
