On the second floor, a black-robed elder served. Zhang Fan could see through his strength at a glance; he was a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
Zhang Fan waved his hand, and the black-robed elder immediately came before him and asked very politely, "Sir, what are your instructions?"
"How much for those golden gauntlets?" Zhang Fan asked, looking at the dazzling pair of golden gauntlets.
The black-robed elder had noticed Zhang Fan the moment he arrived on the second floor. With his strength, he couldn't discern Zhang Fan's depth, so he guessed that Zhang Fan was likely a Nascent Soul stage expert.
However, he hadn't expected that this young-looking expert would dare to inquire about the price of a Heavenly Artifact.
After all, many cultivators in the Three Tribulation Nascent Soul stage couldn't afford such luxurious treasures as Heavenly Artifacts.
"Sir has excellent eyesight."
The black-robed elder's eyes lit up slightly. After a flattering remark, he quickly said, "These gauntlets are called the Golden Radiance Gauntlets. Their grade is a low-tier Heavenly Artifact, forged by the renowned Heavenly Master of Artifact Dao, Heavenly Master Heguy, on the Realm Heart Continent."
"They are infused with the extremely precious Flying Flower Flowing Cloud Stone, giving them exceptional toughness, allowing them to stretch and contract freely within a certain range. After forging, a Golden Radiance Origin Fire was integrated into them. Whether they are Qi Refining cultivators or Body Refining powerhouses, after refining the Golden Radiance Gauntlets, they can all activate the Golden Radiance Origin Fire, possessing boundless power."
"The price for these gauntlets in our Immortal Treasure Pavilion is twenty-six million spirit crystals!"
After speaking, the black-robed elder smiled at Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan nodded. The price was quite reasonable. The price of ordinary low-tier Heavenly Artifacts was around twenty million spirit crystals.
Of course, there were differences among low-tier Heavenly Artifacts. Some of the top-tier ones could even fetch exorbitant prices exceeding thirty million spirit crystals.
With the integration of a precious Golden Radiance Origin Fire into this pair of Golden Radiance Gauntlets, the price was indeed not expensive.
After all, a single Golden Radiance Origin Fire was worth several million spirit crystals, nearly the value of a high-grade spirit treasure.
"I'll buy these Golden Radiance Gauntlets, but I don't have that many spirit crystals. Your Immortal Treasure Pavilion accepts spirit treasures, right?" Zhang Fan asked nonchalantly.
"We do, of course, we do!"
The black-robed elder said repeatedly. Their Immortal Treasure Pavilion wasn't just in Wu Ning City; they had branch pavilions in other super cities of the Realm Heart Continent. To supply so many treasures, where did they come from?
Apart from a small portion forged by the artifact masters they employed, over ninety percent were acquired externally.
"May I know which spirit treasure Sir wishes to sell?" the black-robed elder inquired.
Zhang Fan glanced at the black-robed elder and asked, "Do you want me to take it out right here?"
The black-robed elder startled, realizing his oversight. He repeatedly apologized and then invited Zhang Fan into a private room. The room was decorated in an ancient and elegant style, with formations on all sides to block external spiritual sense.
"The room is a bit small, but it should be enough."
Zhang Fan waved his hand, and immediately, a clanging sound of metal colliding echoed!
A pile of treasures was thrown onto the floor by Zhang Fan, numbering over a hundred.
"A hundred spirit treasures?" The black-robed elder had worked in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion for several centuries, and this was the first time he had received such a large order.
He released his spiritual sense, covering the pile of spirit treasures, and quickly calculated their value.
"There are a total of one hundred and forty-six spirit treasures here, including one hundred and thirty-two low-tier spirit treasures and fourteen mid-tier spirit treasures."
"Sir, as you should know, the price at which our Immortal Treasure Pavilion acquires spirit treasures externally is generally about seventy percent of our selling price. Except for some special spirit treasures, the prices are mostly fixed," the black-robed elder told Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan nodded, understanding. After all, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion needed manpower to operate and various miscellaneous expenses to sell treasures. They even needed to repair some damaged spirit treasures. If the acquisition price were any higher, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion might not make any profit.
"For these one hundred and thirty-two low-tier spirit treasures, our Immortal Treasure Pavilion can offer twenty million spirit crystals. Are you satisfied with this price, Sir?" the black-robed elder asked.
Zhang Fan nodded in agreement. On average, a low-tier spirit treasure was about 150,000 spirit crystals, while the low-tier spirit treasures sold by the Immortal Treasure Pavilion were generally around 200,000 spirit crystals. 138 Reading Network
"For these fourteen mid-tier spirit treasures, our Immortal Treasure Pavilion can offer twelve million spirit crystals," the black-robed elder said to Zhang Fan with a smile. "In other words, for these one hundred and forty-six spirit treasures in total, our Immortal Treasure Pavilion can offer thirty-two million spirit crystals."
"Good," Zhang Fan said.
The price was not far from Zhang Fan's estimated price, and there was no need to haggle.
Hearing Zhang Fan agree, the smile on the black-robed elder's face grew even wider. Completing such a massive transaction would earn him a considerable commission.
"Since Sir agrees, please wait here for a moment. I cannot mobilize such a large quantity of spirit crystals myself."
After speaking, the black-robed elder withdrew from the private room.
A moment later, the black-robed elder returned to the room, accompanied by a yellow-clothed woman.
"I am Shangguan Jing, the head of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in Wu Ning City. May I know your distinguished name?" the yellow-clothed woman asked Zhang Fan with a cupped fist salute.
"Lin Haotian," Zhang Fan said faintly, glancing at the yellow-clothed woman.
Shangguan Jing nodded and said no more. She flicked her finger, and a ring flew towards Zhang Fan, who caught it.
The spiritual sense on this spatial ring had been erased, making it ownerless. Zhang Fan's spiritual sense easily penetrated it. Inside, it was filled with crystal-clear spirit crystals, exactly thirty-two million spirit crystals.
"Very good. This batch of spirit treasures is yours now," Zhang Fan said with a smile, tucking away the spatial ring.
Shangguan Jing waved her hand, collecting all the spirit treasures into her storage artifact, and then said to Zhang Fan with a smile, "If fellow Daoist Haotian needs to sell spirit treasures in the future, you can come directly to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to find me. I will definitely give fellow Daoist Haotian a fair price."
After speaking, Shangguan Jing prepared to leave, but Zhang Fan called out to her.
"May I know if fellow Daoist Haotian has anything else?" Shangguan Jing asked with some confusion.
Zhang Fan glanced at the black-robed elder and asked, "I heard that your Immortal Treasure Pavilion absolutely keeps customer information confidential. Is that true?"
Shangguan Jing was slightly stunned, then understood what Zhang Fan meant. She glanced sideways at the black-robed elder, who, understanding her intention, immediately excused himself and left the private room.
"Naturally. Our Immortal Treasure Pavilion has achieved its current scale by relying on absolute credibility. Fellow Daoist Haotian need not have any concerns." Shangguan Jing said sincerely.
"In that case, fellow Daoist Shangguan Jing, please help me calculate the value of these few items in spirit crystals," Zhang Fan said. He then took out the Mountain River Seal and the Star Gate Luo Yun Spear and placed them on the table. Before Shangguan Jing could examine them, Zhang Fan took out three sets of formation discs.
The Star Gate Luo Yun Spear was a treasure of the Ouyang family on Big Rock Star. After Ouyang Jing's death, it naturally fell into Zhang Fan's hands.
As for the three complete Heaven-grade formation discs, they were found among Gong Ziru's遗物 (yíwù -遗物 - remains, effects). Gong Ziru left behind four complete sets of formation discs: three Heaven-grade low-tier and one Heaven-grade mid-tier.
However, that one Heaven-grade mid-tier Nine Peaks Spirit Trapping Array still had considerable use for the current Zhang Fan, so he did not intend to sell it.
"Two high-grade spirit treasures, three sets of formation discs?" Shangguan Jing was very surprised. She hadn't expected this young man, who appeared to be just an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, to be able to produce two high-grade spirit treasures.
