12: Wanbao Chamber of Commerce

"It's fine, we aren't short of this little bit of time."

Lin Luoxue's emotions had stabilized over the past few days; as long as there was hope, what did a little time matter?

After Zhang Daobai set down his teacup, he took out Lin Luoxue's storage bracelet.

"According to what you said before, the price of a Yellow-grade five elements spirit item is over one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and we are still missing three types of spirit items."

"In other words, we need at least over three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, but we only have one hundred and fifty thousand right now. We're still short by more than half."

"Take a look, which things would be most suitable to sell?"

Although Zhang Daobai knew that the items within Lin Luoxue's storage space were all fine treasures,

he wasn't clear on the specific value of these things.

Hearing this, Lin Luoxue took the bracelet and then probed into the storage space with her Divine Sense, beginning to pick through them.

After a short while, Lin Luoxue had finished her selection and then spoke, "Selling these Yao Beast Materials and the Spirit Medicine I've picked out should be just about enough."

"Mm, then let's set out now."

Zhang Daobai took the bracelet, checked it, and nodded.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Daobai still had Lin Luoxue enter the spirit taming space.

After leaving the house, Zhang Daobai followed Lin Luoxue's guidance and walked toward the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was a top-tier chamber of commerce spanning multiple domains, claiming that there was nothing you couldn't buy, only things you couldn't imagine.

As long as one had Spirit Stones, one could buy whatever they needed at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

After turning left and right along the way, Zhang Daobai soon arrived outside a luxurious and elegant giant building.

"It really is extraordinary."

Zhang Daobai looked at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, which was clearly more than one level higher in specification than the surrounding shops, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Welcome!"

Before he even entered the door, the beautiful maidservants standing on both sides of the entrance bowed enthusiastically to welcome Zhang Daobai.

After entering the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, a beautiful woman wearing a green silk dress quickly walked up to Zhang Daobai.

"Welcome to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, Fellow Daoist. I wonder what you might need, guest?"

"Let's find a place to talk."

Zhang Daobai looked at the people coming and going all around and suggested.

"Certainly, this way please!"

Hearing this, the green-clothed woman's eyes immediately lit up, and her attitude became even more enthusiastic.

Under the green-clothed woman's lead, Zhang Daobai arrived in a reception room.

After closing the door, the green-clothed woman skillfully poured a cup of tea for Zhang Daobai.

"I need three types of spirit items—Water, Fire, and Earth—and their quality must reach High Grade Yellow-grade." Zhang Daobai said, getting straight to the point.

"Three High Grade Yellow-grade five elements spirit items!?" The green-clothed woman couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing this.

"Why? Is there a problem?" Zhang Daobai looked at her questioningly.

"There is no problem, but I cannot make the decision for a transaction of this level. Please wait a moment, I will go find Manager Mu to come see you."

After the green-clothed woman finished speaking respectfully, she quickly left the reception room.

After a short while, the door was opened; before even seeing the person, Zhang Daobai smelled a charming, faint fragrance.

"My apologies for making you wait."

A woman in a long purple dress, with a beautiful face and a curvaceous figure, walked in.

Having been baptized by Lin Luoxue's peerless celestial beauty, Zhang Daobai was not attracted by her looks and spoke in a calm tone, "Manager Mu?"

"I am called Mu Yan, one of the managers of this branch of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce." Mu Yan nodded with a smile.

Although Mu Yan did not release her aura, Zhang Daobai's intuition told him that the cultivation of this Manager Mu before him was at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Mu Yan spoke with a gentle and pleasant voice to confirm, "I just heard Qingyu say that you want to purchase High Grade Yellow-grade spirit items of the Water, Fire, and Earth attributes, is that correct?"

"Correct, I wonder what the price for these three spirit items is?" Zhang Daobai nodded and asked.

Seeing how direct Zhang Daobai was, Mu Yan did not intend to beat around the bush either; she immediately took three jade boxes out of her storage ring.

Then, Mu Yan opened the first jade box, and a wave of heat instantly rushed toward him.

Inside the jade box lay a deep-red crystal; within that crystal, there seemed to be a faint liquid flowing.

"This is a Fire Essence Crystal, a High Grade Yellow-grade fire attribute spirit item, priced at one hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones."

Immediately after, Mu Yan opened the other two jade boxes; they contained a water-blue bead and a brownish-yellow clump of mud respectively.

"High Grade Yellow-grade Water Spirit Bead, price one hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones; High Grade Yellow-grade Thick Earth Essence, price one hundred and thirty-five thousand Spirit Stones."

"The three spirit items total three hundred and eighty-five thousand Spirit Stones. I see this should be your first time buying things at our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, so I'll give you a discount; only three hundred and eighty thousand Spirit Stones will be needed."

Hearing this, Zhang Daobai opened his Eye of Appraisal to confirm the items were correct, then nodded and said, "Alright."

"However, Manager Mu, I would like to ask—I don't have enough Spirit Stones on me, can I use Yao Beast Materials and Spirit Medicine to substitute?"

"Of course, I will certainly give you a reasonable valuation." Manager Mu replied without hesitation, as if she were long accustomed to this.

Seeing that Manager Mu had agreed to the request, Zhang Daobai then stood up and walked to the open space in the reception room.

With his back to Manager Mu, he took out the storage bracelet and then released all the items Lin Luoxue had selected earlier.

In the blink of an eye, within the originally empty reception room, a pile of Yao Beast Materials emitting powerful auras appeared on the floor.

Among them were a giant horn over three meters long, a tiger skin radiating a violent aura, a heart that looked like jade... besides these, there were also over a dozen jade boxes containing Spirit Medicine piled to the side.

When she saw the pile of Yao Beast Materials Zhang Daobai had taken out, Mu Yan, who had been quite calm, suddenly had a change of expression and stood up with eyes full of shock.

"Late Stage Rank Two! Middle Stage Rank Two! Late Stage Rank Two! Perfection Rank Two!!"

"This... these Yao Beasts were at least Middle Stage Rank Two existences when they were alive!"

Feeling the residual auras on these Yao Beast Materials, Mu Yan couldn't help but exclaim in a daze.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen Yao Beast Materials of this level, but she completely hadn't expected that Zhang Daobai, whose cultivation was only at the Late stage of Qi Refining, could actually produce such treasures.

Mu Yan soon realized her loss of composure and quickly regained her calm.

"My apologies, guest, I've made a fool of myself," Mu Yan said with an embarrassed smile.

"It's nothing. Please, Manager Mu, provide an evaluation."

After Zhang Daobai finished speaking, he stepped aside to make room for Mu Yan.

Seeing this, Mu Yan nodded with a smile and then quickly stepped forward to inspect the Yao Beast Materials and Spirit Medicine.

After a short while, Mu Yan listed out the prices for all the Yao Beast Materials and Spirit Medicine.

"Guest, please take a look. This is my offer; see if you have any objections?"

As Mu Yan spoke, she handed the price list in her hand to Zhang Daobai.

Zhang Daobai took the price list and looked it over, finding that the offer Mu Yan gave was similar to the valuation Lin Luoxue had given before, and some even far exceeded Lin Luoxue's valuation.

The offers for all these items added together totaled two hundred and eighty-six thousand seven hundred Spirit Stones, which had already exceeded his expectations.
