Chapter 520: Successful Transaction, Master Wang
Chapter 520: Successful Transaction, Master Wang
Stepping into the Treasure Tower, Lu Qing sensed a subtle array force discreetly sweep over his body.
If not for his keen spiritual sense, he might not have noticed it at all.
However, he remained calm, knowing it was the Treasure Tower's defensive measure to prevent troublemakers from entering.
He was confident in his transformation technique, even a Nether Spirit Master would find it difficult to see through his true nature.
The array of the Treasure Tower was likely no different.
Sure enough, after the array force swept over his body, it vanished without any further action.
A woman in a purple short robe, with a somewhat alluring appearance, walked out.
"Esteemed Golden Core adult, welcome to our Treasure Tower. I am a receptionist here. Is there anything I can assist you with?"
"Truly one of the top forces in Canglan City."
Lu Qing sensed that this alluring, beautiful woman had a substantial aura, at the Foundation Establishment level.
He couldn't help but marvel at the Treasure Tower's formidable strength, where even a receptionist at a branch had such cultivation.
"I've heard that your esteemed tower not only sells rare treasures but also buys treasures from other cultivators. Is that correct?"
Though he was impressed, Lu Qing didn't show it on his face and asked instead.
"Yes, our tower does indeed purchase various rare treasures. Sir, do you have any rare treasures you wish to sell?"
The alluring woman wasn't surprised by Lu Qing's question.
After all, many cultivators often came to the Treasure Tower to sell treasures they had obtained.
However, few of those treasures met the Treasure Tower's standards.
Lu Qing took out the Thunderclap Talisman he had just inscribed and refined.
"I have a talisman here. Could you appraise its value and see if it meets your standards?"
"A talisman?"
The alluring woman took the jade talisman from Lu Qing and her expression turned serious.
Although the talisman looked ordinary, the subtle aura it emitted made her feel a sense of unease.
"At the very least, it's a Golden Core level talisman!"
The alluring woman made her judgment immediately.
A talisman that could make her feel such unease couldn't be at the Foundation Establishment level.
She said, "Please wait a moment, sir. We need to appraise this talisman first."
"No problem, take your time."
Given the Treasure Tower's reputation and credibility, Lu Qing wasn't worried they would try to swindle him for a mere Golden Core talisman.
The alluring woman returned to the counter, took out a magical treasure, and placed the Thunderclap Talisman on it.
Soon, a faint golden light emanated from the magical treasure.
"Indeed, it's a Golden Core level talisman, and it's even a lightning attribute one!"
The alluring woman looked at the information detected by the magical treasure and exclaimed with surprise.
Then she took the talisman and approached Lu Qing.
"Sir, you've been waiting. The quality of this talisman is exceptional. Although it only has the power of a low-level Golden Core, it is a rare lightning attribute talisman, which is quite valuable."
"So, if your Treasure Tower is willing to purchase it, what price can you offer?" Lu Qing asked directly.
"Sir, are you sure you want to sell this talisman to our Treasure Tower?
Actually, we also have a consignment service for rare treasures.
If you're willing to consign this talisman with us, we might be able to sell it at a higher price when the right buyer comes along.
But if you sell it directly to us, the price will be lower."
At this point, the alluring woman explained.
Hearing this, Lu Qing nodded inwardly.
It seemed that what Zhang Feng had said was true; the Treasure Tower's business reputation was indeed quite good.
At least their current honesty made him feel quite comfortable.
However, after some thought, he said, "No need. If possible, I hope to sell it directly to your Treasure Tower."
Indeed, consigning the item to the Treasure Tower for sale might yield a higher profit, but the efficiency can’t be guaranteed.
Lu Qing was currently penniless and in dire need of spirit stones to replenish his resources.
Slow consignment was too time-consuming for him.
Therefore, selling directly to the Treasure Tower was the most convenient option.
The enchanting woman nodded. "I understand. According to our rules, the price will be slightly lower if you sell it directly to us. I hope you understand, sir."
Lu Qing smiled. "I trust the reputation of your Treasure Tower."
"The price we offer for your talisman is 120 low-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"
Seeming to fear that Lu Qing might misunderstand, the enchanting woman explained, "Generally, we buy Foundation Establishment level talismans for 100 low-grade spirit stones.
However, this talisman is a rare lightning attribute talisman.
So, I have decided to increase the price by 20 low-grade spirit stones.
Are you satisfied with this price, sir?"
"Agreed", Lu Qing nodded.
To be honest, the price was far beyond his expectations.
After all, creating the Thunderclap Talisman wasn’t particularly difficult for him.
Yet, he could earn 120 low-grade spirit stones from it.
This way, not only would he recover the rent, but he might also be able to gather enough spirit stones to enter the Heavenly Origin World in no time.
The rest of the process was much simpler.
Lu Qing sold the Thunderclap Talisman to the Treasure Tower and received 120 low-grade spirit stones.
However, at his request, 100 of those low-grade spirit stones were exchanged for one mid-grade spirit stone.
The difference in the spiritual aura contained within spirit stones of different grades, in terms of both quality and quantity, was enormous.
It could be considered a qualitative difference.
Therefore, the exchange rate was also significant, one to one hundred.
In other words, 100 low-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for one mid-grade spirit stone.
Pleased with the spirit stones, Lu Qing left.
The enchanting woman, on the other hand, took the Thunderclap Talisman and headed towards the treasure vault.
According to the rules of the Treasure Tower, any received treasures must first be stored in the vault.
Once the appraisers in the tower re-evaluate them, they will be put up for sale.
"Zi Yuan, what good thing have you received? You seem to be in a great mood."
As the enchanting woman was about to enter the vault with the Thunderclap Talisman, a teasing voice suddenly rang out.
She turned around and quickly bowed. "Master Wang."
An elderly man walked over. "No need for formalities. I see you have a smile on your face. Have you received some rare treasure?"
"Just received a talisman, a Golden Core level talisman, and it’s a rare lightning attribute talisman", the enchanting woman replied.
"Oh, a lightning attribute talisman?" Master Wang raised an eyebrow.
Seeing his reaction, the enchanting woman's heart skipped a beat.
Master Wang was not only a master appraiser at the Treasure Tower but also had deep expertise in talisman making.
Many of the mid and low-grade talismans in the Treasure Tower were crafted by him.
No wonder he reacted this way.
With this in mind, the enchanting woman handed over the Thunderclap Talisman.
"This talisman is called the Thunderclap Talisman. Since Master Wang is here, could you please help me appraise it and see if I’ve made the right judgment?"
Master Wang was already interested in the talisman in the enchanting woman’s hand.
Seeing this, he immediately smiled. "Sure, I have nothing else to do right now, so I’ll help you check it out."
He then took the Thunderclap Talisman.
As soon as he held it, he let out a surprised "Hmm."
He could feel that the spiritual jade used for the talisman wasn’t very high-grade.
But wasn’t this a Golden Core level talisman?
With a hint of doubt, Master Wang's eyes glowed with a green light as he used his unique appraisal technique to examine the talisman.
Gradually, his eyes widened.
