Chapter 357 You can buy anything, you can sell anything
As the largest chamber of commerce in the Coral Islands, Linglong Chamber of Commerce has branches on every island.
If you want to acquire a treasure, buying it is the most normal way.
Ye Kang led the carp god to the counter.
"Fellow Daoist, please. I need these three treasures."
Ye Kang flicked a jade slip over. The shopkeeper was a still charming young woman with bright red lipstick and a very daring outfit.
Many martial artists don't want to buy anything; they can spend a whole day browsing in the shop just to catch a glimpse of her.
The shop owner had seen too many buyers like Ye Kang who didn't want others to know what they wanted, so they wrote it down.
She skillfully took the jade slip, probed it with her senses, and immediately three names appeared.
"Yin and Yang complement each other, and the spirits of heaven and earth are both Yin and Yang."
“Treasures of the divine soul type.”
"A deep blue-green aura."
The proprietress glanced at it and nonchalantly returned the jade slip, saying, "We have them all in the shop. How many would you like to buy?"
"All."
"That price isn't cheap, 350,000 spirit crystals."
"Seize the young master?"
Ye Kang's eyelids twitched; he was startled by the number.
The proprietress smiled and said, "Please don't think it's expensive. Looking across this sea area, only we have the ability to collect all three items. Especially the third item, which cannot be stored and can only be visualized. The opportunity to visualize it once is extremely expensive."
"What do you mean by that?"
The proprietress looked at him in surprise: "You don't know? The Azure Qi can only be visualized at Dangxia Mountain. There is only one chance per year. It is divided among the top two forces: one fist, two swords, and three supreme masters. If you want it, you have to pay an exorbitant price."
Ye Kang frowned.
He knew the proverb, "One punch, two swords, three supreme peaks."
As mentioned in the Outer Sea Guide, it refers to the six top sects in the Outer Sea.
One punch, the Tyrant Whale Sect.
Two swords, the Wuji Sword Sect and the Crimson Sword Sect.
The Three Supremes are three other factions that do not specialize in one particular style. Their techniques and martial arts emphasize drawing on the strengths of many different schools, and they can practice anything.
In addition, due to its powerful assassination capabilities, the Kuanglan Society has been recognized as the seventh major power in recent years, although the other six factions do not acknowledge it.
Besides these six, there are countless other sects and families, most of which are vassals.
Ye Kang asked, "Which two families allocated the spots?"
"The Tyrant Whale Sect and the Eastern Demon Sect, two powerful clans jointly control Dangxia Mountain. How about it? Just 300,000 spirit crystals and I can place you there?"
Ye Kang smiled helplessly. He wanted to, but it was too expensive. His entire outfit cost a total of 20,000 taels of crystals.
"So, the remaining two treasures only cost 50,000 spirit crystals in total?"
"You're a clever guest, come and take a look with me."
The proprietress, with her mature gait, led Ye Kang upstairs to the second floor.
She asked Ye Kang to sit down for a moment, then went into the storeroom and took out two treasures.
One of them was a living creature, placed in a fish tank.
"Look, this is the Black and White Spirit Fish, a treasure fish from the deep sea. It is born with black and white energies that flow and alternate with each other, making its body appear half black and half white, with the two colors alternating and rotating, which perfectly matches what you call the mutual generation of yin and yang."
Ye Kang looked over and saw a small fish about the length of a finger swimming around. Its black and white colors were indeed constantly changing, which was quite mysterious.
The system also confirmed that this item could indeed be refined.
Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat: "How many spirit crystals?"
The proprietress held up three fingers and said, "Thirty thousand, no bargaining."
"So expensive?"
"Not at all. This thing is located in the deep sea. It would take a huge amount of manpower and resources to catch it. If it weren't for the fact that there are few people who cultivate Yin-Yang techniques, it wouldn't be so cheap."
Ye Kang didn't quite believe her, but since there was nothing wrong with the items, he didn't say anything more and instead looked at another jade box.
"And the other one?"
The proprietress opened the jade box, and a strange fragrance wafted out: "This is the Soul Nourishing Flower, a top-grade spiritual plant. Consuming it for the first five times will enhance your spiritual power and aid in the cultivation of your divine sea."
The system confirmed once again that the Soul-Nourishing Flower was indeed something he needed.
However, he still looked puzzled: "Your Chamber of Commerce is so large, do you only have one type?"
The proprietress smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. This is just a branch, and our inventory is ultimately limited. If you want some, I can send a message to headquarters and request some to be transferred over."
"No need, I'll take the Soul-Nourishing Flower."
Ye Kang took out 20,000 spirit crystals and piled them all on the ground.
This was all his savings, and he'd spent it all in one go. He probably wouldn't be able to take the carp god out to a restaurant again.
The proprietress carefully put away the spirit crystals and handed the Soul-Nourishing Flower to Ye Kang, saying, "Linglong Merchant Guild does not offer refunds or exchanges. Welcome to visit us again, fellow Daoist."
Ye Kang gritted his teeth, not wanting to say anything more.
He was about to go downstairs when he suddenly noticed a notice posted on the bulletin board on the second floor.
Gathering Quest: Azure Sea Golden Locust, 50,000 spirit crystals per locust, unlimited quantity, valid indefinitely.
"This is?"
"This is a recycling task from the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce can buy and sell anything, and sometimes it will also post some gathering tasks. The person who posted this task is a rogue cultivator in the Divine Sea Realm. He needs a lot of Azure Sea Golden Locusts to refine pills, but he thinks we are selling them too expensively, so he posted it here to try his luck."
Ye Kang stroked his chin, puzzled, and asked, "How much do you sell it for?"
"Eighty thousand spirit crystals per piece."
"What if we sell it to you?"
"Forty thousand spirit crystals."
"Wow! You guys doubled the price!" Ye Kang was startled. This Linglong Merchant Guild was really ruthless, selling at double the price. No wonder they posted a gathering quest here.
Selling it to him is better than selling it to the Linglong Chamber of Commerce; at least we can earn 10,000 more.
The proprietress shrugged and said, "The advantage of the Chamber of Commerce is safety; you don't have to worry about being double-crossed. As for selling to others, that's uncertain. Fellow Daoist, do you also want to earn some extra money?"
Ye Kang shook his head: "Unfortunately, I don't know where to find the Azure Sea Golden Locust."
"I know!"
The proprietress suddenly spoke, and then took out a nautical chart from her belt.
"For just twenty spirit crystals, you can have a map of the sea area where the Azure Sea Golden Locusts most frequently appear."
Ye Kang was immediately filled with respect.
So professional!
She truly is a female boss who understands human nature perfectly!
He emptied his savings for her with just three sentences!
They really sell everything!
He glanced at the ancient jade treasure; it only had 500 spirit crystals left. Just as he was about to refuse, the system notification sounded.
【Ding】
[Mission issued: Capture 10 Blue Sea Golden Locusts]
[Task Reward: 10 Comprehension Points]
"I want it."
Ye Kang tossed over twenty spirit crystals without hesitation.
Compared to system tasks, spirit crystals are not important at all.
The proprietress smiled and said, "You're quite bold, esteemed guest. Just a friendly reminder, you're not the only one looking to earn extra money. At least a thousand people are venturing into these waters, so please be careful!"
