The attendant on the second floor was an old man in black robes. Zhang Fan could see at a glance that he was a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
Zhang Fan beckoned, and the black-robed elder immediately came before him, asking very politely, "Sir, what are your instructions?"
"What is the price for that pair of golden gauntlets?" Zhang Fan asked, looking at the dazzling golden gauntlets.
The black-robed elder had noticed Zhang Fan upon his arrival on the second floor. With his strength, he couldn't discern Zhang Fan's depth, so he guessed that Zhang Fan was likely an Nascent Soul stage expert.
However, he hadn't expected that this young-looking expert would dare to inquire about the price of a Heavenly Treasure.
After all, many three-tribulation Nascent Soul experts couldn't afford such a luxurious artifact as a Heavenly Treasure.
"Sir has excellent judgment."
The black-robed elder's eyes gleamed slightly. After a flattering remark, he quickly said, "This pair of gauntlets is called the Golden Radiance Gauntlets, and its grade is a low-tier Heavenly Treasure. It was forged by the renowned Heavenly Master of Weapons, Master He Gu, on the Boundary Heart Continent."
"It incorporates extremely precious Flying Flower Flowing Cloud Stone, making it extremely tough and able to stretch and shrink freely within a certain range. After its completion, a Golden Radiance Source Fire was infused into it. Both Qi Refining cultivators and Body Refining powerhouses can activate the Golden Radiance Source Fire after refining the Golden Radiance Gauntlets, unleashing boundless power."
"The price for these gauntlets at our Immortal Treasure Pavilion is twenty-six million spirit crystals!"
After speaking, the black-robed elder smiled at Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan nodded, finding the price to be quite fair. The price for ordinary low-tier Heavenly Treasures was around twenty million spirit crystals.
Of course, there were differences among low-tier Heavenly Treasures, with some top-grade ones even selling for over thirty million spirit crystals.
And these Golden Radiance Gauntlets, infused with a precious Golden Radiance Source Fire, were indeed not expensive.
After all, a single Golden Radiance Source Fire alone was worth several million spirit crystals, approaching the value of a high-tier 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 indifferently.
"Yes, of course, we do!"
The black-robed elder replied quickly. Their Immortal Treasure Pavilion had branches not only in Wuning City but also in other super cities on the Boundary Heart Continent. Where did such a large supply of artifacts come from?
Besides a small number forged by the artifact masters they employed, over ninety percent were acquired from outside.
"May I ask 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 here?"
The black-robed elder was startled, realizing his mistake. He repeatedly apologized and then invited Zhang Fan into a private, enclosed room. The room was decorated in an antique style, with formations around it to isolate it, preventing divine sense from probing from the outside.
"The room is a bit small, but it should be enough."
Zhang Fan waved his hand, and instantly, a metallic clanging sound echoed!
A pile of artifacts was thrown onto the floor by Zhang Fan, numbering over a hundred.
"A hundred Spirit Treasures?" The black-robed elder, who had been working at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion for hundreds of years, had never handled such a large transaction before.
He released his divine sense, enveloping 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, you should also know that the price our Immortal Treasure Pavilion usually offers for acquiring Spirit Treasures from the public is about seventy percent of our selling price. Except for some special Spirit Treasures, the prices are generally fixed," the black-robed elder explained to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan nodded in understanding. After all, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion needed manpower and various expenses to operate. Some Spirit Treasures even required repair. If the acquisition price were even slightly higher, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion might not make a 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, each low-tier Spirit Treasure was valued at about 150,000 spirit crystals, while the low-tier Spirit Treasures sold by the Immortal Treasure Pavilion were usually 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 looked at Zhang Fan and said with a smile, "In other words, for all these one hundred and forty-six Spirit Treasures, our Immortal Treasure Pavilion can offer thirty-two million spirit crystals."
"Good," Zhang Fan said.
The price was not far from his estimated value, and there was no need to haggle.
Upon hearing Zhang Fan's assent, the smile on the black-robed elder's face grew wider. Completing such a massive transaction would also 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, accompanied by a woman in yellow.
"I am Shangguan Jing, the manager of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in Wuning City. May I know esteemed guest's name?" the woman in yellow asked Zhang Fan, cupping her fists.
"Lin Haotian," Zhang Fan replied indifferently, glancing at the woman in yellow.
Shangguan Jing nodded and said no more. She flicked her finger, and a ring flew towards Zhang Fan, who caught it.
The divine sense on this spatial ring had been erased, making it ownerless. Zhang Fan's divine sense easily entered it, revealing piles of crystal-clear spirit crystals – exactly thirty-two million of them.
"Very well, this batch of Spirit Treasures is yours." Zhang Fan accepted the spatial ring and said with a smile.
Shangguan Jing waved her hand, collecting all the Spirit Treasures into her storage artifact. She then smiled at Zhang Fan and said, "If Fellow Daoist Haotian needs to sell any more Spirit Treasures in the future, you can come directly to me at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. I will certainly offer Fellow Daoist Haotian a fair price."
After speaking, Shangguan Jing prepared to leave, but Zhang Fan stopped her.
"Does Fellow Daoist Haotian have any other matters?" Shangguan Jing asked with some confusion.
Zhang Fan looked at the black-robed elder and asked, "I heard that your Immortal Treasure Pavilion guarantees the absolute confidentiality of customer information. Is that true?"
Shangguan Jing was slightly stunned, then understood Zhang Fan's meaning. She glanced at the black-robed elder, who, taking the hint, immediately excused himself and left the room.
"Naturally. The scale our Immortal Treasure Pavilion has achieved is built upon absolute trustworthiness. Fellow Daoist Haotian need not have any concerns whatsoever," Shangguan Jing said earnestly.
"In that case, Fellow Daoist Shangguan Jing, please help me appraise how many spirit crystals these items are worth." As Zhang Fan spoke, he 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 disks.
The Star Gate Luo Yun Spear was a treasure of the Ouyang family on Great Rock Star. After Ouyang Jing's death, it naturally fell into Zhang Fan's hands.
As for the three complete Heaven-tier formation disks, they were found among Gong Ziru's遗物. Gong Ziru had left behind four complete sets of formation disks: three low-grade Heaven-tier sets and one mid-grade Heaven-tier set.
However, the mid-grade Heaven-tier Nine Peaks Spirit Entrapment Formation was still quite useful to Zhang Fan at the moment, so he did not intend to sell it.
"Two high-tier Spirit Treasures, three sets of formation disks?" Shangguan Jing was very surprised. She hadn't expected this young man, who appeared to be just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, to possess two high-tier Spirit Treasures.
