Transaction! Information on the three core materials

“Only five million mid-grade Origin Stones?”

Xiao Ming sneered, saying, “You’re still trying to take advantage of my supposed inexperience. Cultivation techniques and secret manuals have always been far more valuable than weapons, because weapons can only be used by one person, limiting their utility.”

“But cultivation techniques can allow many people to cultivate simultaneously!”

“Shopkeeper Jiang, if you think you can get a bargain, then we have nothing more to discuss!”

With that.

Xiao Ming stood up, preparing to retrieve the Blood Crying Sword and the secret manual and leave.

“Wait a moment!” Jiang Hong’s face immediately filled with smiles, and she said without any embarrassment, “Little brother, please don’t be angry. If you’re not satisfied with the price, we can always discuss it further.”

“Hmph!” Xiao Ming sneered.

He hated such dishonest merchants the most!

However.

Given that there weren't many powers in the city capable of buying the Blood Crying Sword and the secret manual, and perhaps only Golden Jade Tower could, Xiao Ming suppressed his displeasure and sat down again.

Jiang Hong gave an awkward laugh, then tentatively asked, “Little brother, what price are you looking for the secret manual?”

“Seven million mid-grade Origin Stones, not a single piece less,” Xiao Ming stated decisively, “If you want to bargain, then there’s no need to discuss!”

This price, to be honest, was a bit high.

Because Xiao Ming had previously learned that Heaven-grade secret manuals like the Blood Sea Sutra generally sold for around six million.

It was rare for them to fetch a price of seven million.

However, this wasn't an absolute. Many times, a higher price could indeed be achieved.

It just depended on what a large business like Golden Jade Tower thought.

“Seven million mid-grade Origin Stones, huh…” Jiang Hong murmured to herself, seemingly deep in thought, her expression a bit conflicted.

Just as Xiao Ming was starting to get impatient.

Jiang Hong spoke, “Alright, I’ll take it at that price.”

Only then did Xiao Ming nod in satisfaction.

Subsequently, he sold the remaining items to Golden Jade Tower as well, but because these items were more miscellaneous and not very rare, they only sold for a total of one hundred thousand mid-grade Origin Stones.

Adding everything up, Xiao Ming received a total of eight million one hundred thousand mid-grade Origin Stone bank notes.

After the sale, Xiao Ming asked, “I need a large quantity of spirit herbs and some alchemy cauldrons. Does your esteemed establishment have them?”

“Of course we do. May I ask what grade of spirit herbs and alchemy cauldrons you, little brother Xiao, require?” Jiang Hong asked with a smile.

After a moment of contemplation.

Xiao Ming said, “I want millennium-grade spirit herbs, as for the quantity, give me a thousand first.”

“As for alchemy cauldrons, the higher the quality, the better. Give me three for now.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hong exclaimed in surprise, “You need such a large quantity of spirit herbs? Although millennium-grade spirit herbs aren’t particularly precious, asking for a thousand at once is simply too many.”

“Also, little brother, are you planning to refine pills? Usually, only alchemists have such a large demand.”

Xiao Ming fell silent again, looking at her indifferently.

“I spoke out of turn,” Jiang Hong gave an awkward laugh, then looked towards the door.

She was seen moving her lips slightly, but no sound was made.

She must have been secretly transmitting a message.

It proved that the Lingxiao City branch of Golden Jade Tower indeed possessed formidable strength.

After a while.

Two shop assistants carefully opened the door. They each carried a tray, and on each tray was a simple storage bag.

There were two in total.

Jiang Hong explained with a smile, “The first storage bag contains the thousand millennium-grade spirit herbs you wanted.”

“And the second storage bag contains three Earth-grade top-tier alchemy cauldrons. Little brother, would you like to take a look?”

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, then stood up and walked to the shop assistants.

Opening these simple storage bags one by one, Xiao Ming’s divine sense emanated outwards, and after a quick scan, the contents came into view.

Just as Jiang Hong had said.

The quantity and quality of the millennium-grade spirit herbs and Earth-grade alchemy cauldrons met the requirements.

The reason for wanting three alchemy cauldrons was that Xiao Ming was worried about cauldrons exploding during the pill refinement process, so he bought two extra as spares.

“These items are all very good,” Xiao Ming turned to Jiang Hong and asked, “What’s the price?”

“If calculated in mid-grade Origin Stones, it will be a total of eight hundred thousand,” Jiang Hong said, then added, “Little brother, please don’t find it expensive. The main reason is the sheer quantity of millennium-grade spirit herbs you requested.”

“Although millennium-grade spirit herbs are not particularly precious, their large quantity makes the price what it is.”

“As for those two simple storage bags, they are a gift to you, little brother!”

Xiao Ming nodded slightly.

To be honest, he was a bit surprised that Golden Jade Tower could deliver a thousand spirit herbs in such a short time.

It could only be said that.

Golden Jade Tower truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier large business, capable of fulfilling even his demanding requests.

Putting the two storage bags close to his body, Xiao Ming pulled out a large stack of Origin Stone bank notes from his spatial ring, counted out eight hundred thousand, and threw them to Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong quickly caught them, her smile almost turning into a chrysanthemum.

The transactions with Xiao Ming would allow her to earn a considerable profit!

Because she could sell the acquired Blood Crying Sword and the Heaven-grade cultivation technique Blood Sea Sutra at a higher price, and at the same time, she also earned a significant profit margin from the thousand spirit herbs and alchemy cauldrons sold to Xiao Ming.

At this moment.

In Jiang Hong’s eyes, Xiao Ming was no longer just a person, but a benevolent wealth-bringing boy delivering money to her.

After completing the transaction.

Xiao Ming pondered for a moment and asked, “I’d like to make another transaction with you.”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Jiang Hong’s face grew even wider.

“What kind of transaction does little brother wish to make? Are you selling items, or buying medicinal ingredients and spiritual objects?”

Xiao Ming said noncommittally, “I want to purchase three extremely precious refining materials: tai xuan gang jade, ten thousand year geng metal, and tianlin crystal diamond.”

“Do you have them?”

These three items were the core main materials for refining the Tai Xuan Tian Lin Sword, and each one was indispensable.

As for auxiliary materials, that wasn't a problem.

After hearing Xiao Ming’s words, a difficult expression appeared on Jiang Hong’s face.

“The three items you mentioned are all extremely precious, and we don’t have them,” Jiang Hong said with a sigh, “I’m afraid only our Golden Jade Tower headquarters would have such precious refining materials.”

“Then can they be transferred?” Xiao Ming asked, “As long as the quality of the items is good, the price is not an issue!”

Jiang Hong thought for a moment and said, “Transferring them isn’t an issue, but it will take a significant amount of time, at least three months to half a year, for the headquarters to procure the items you need.”

“Then forget it!”

Xiao Ming immediately refused.

Three months or half a year?

He couldn't afford to waste that time!

Instead of waiting at Golden Jade Tower, he might as well travel around himself and search for refining materials elsewhere.

At this moment.

Jiang Hong suddenly said, “Although I don’t have these items, I do have some corresponding information. Through this information, you might also be able to find similar refining materials. Is little brother interested?”
