Chapter 784: Chapter 519: Successful Transaction, Master Wang
Stepping into the Treasure Tower, Lu Qing felt a subtle force of array formation sweep over his body.
If it wasnât for his keen spiritual sense, he might not have noticed it at all.
However, he remained calm, knowing it was the Treasure Towerâs precautionary measure to prevent unscrupulous individuals from entering.
He was confident enough in his Transformation Technique that even a Primordial Spirit Great Power would find it difficult to see through his true nature.
The array formation of this Treasure Tower must be the same.
Sure enough, that trace of the array formationâs power disappeared after sweeping over his body, without causing any further stirrings.
A beautiful woman, wearing a short purple robe and possessing a somewhat enchanting appearance, walked out.
âWelcome, Golden Core master, to our Treasure Tower. I am the welcoming envoy here. How may I assist you?â
âTruly, one of the top forces in Canglan City.â
Lu Qing sensed that this slightly enchanting beauty had quite a strong aura, possessing cultivation at the Great Success level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He couldnât help but secretly admire the robust strength of the Treasure Tower, as even a receptionist in a branch tower had such cultivation.
âIâve heard that your Treasure Tower not only sells exotic treasures but also purchases treasures from other cultivators. Is that true?â
Though he mused inwardly, Lu Qingâs face remained expressionless as he inquired.
âIndeed, our tower also acquires various exotic treasures. Do you have any rare treasures you wish to sell, sir?â
The enchanting woman was not surprised by Lu Qingâs inquiry.
After all, quite a number of cultivators often wished to come to the Treasure Tower to sell their treasures after obtaining them.
However, those treasures rarely caught the Treasure Towerâs eye.
Lu Qing took out the Thunder Shock Talisman he had just inscribed.
âI have a talisman here. Would you appraise its value and see if it meets your Treasure Towerâs standards?â
âA talisman, huh?â
The enchanting woman took the jade talisman from Lu Qingâs hand and then her expression became stern.
Although this jade talisman appeared ordinary, the aura vaguely emanating from within it caused her a sense of dread.
âAt least a Golden Core level talisman!â
The enchanting woman immediately made a judgment.
The talisman aura that even made her feel a sense of dread definitely wouldnât be at the Foundation Establishment level.
She promptly said, âPlease wait a moment, master. We need to appraise this talisman first.â
âNo worries, do as you please.â
With the Treasure Towerâs resources and reputation, Lu Qing naturally wasnât concerned theyâd covet a mere Golden Core tier talisman.
The enchanting woman returned to the counter, retrieved a magical treasure, and placed the Thunder Shock Talisman on it.
Soon, a faint golden light emanated from the magical treasure.
âIndeed, a Golden Core level talismanâand itâs thunder attributed!â
The enchanting woman exclaimed with delight as she saw the information detected by the magical treasure.
Then she took the talisman and came to Lu Qing.
âThank you for waiting, master. The quality of your talisman is very high. Although it only has the initial power of the Golden Core Stage, it is a rare thunder attribute talisman and is quite valuable.â
âSo, if your Treasure Tower were to purchase it, at what price would that be?â Lu Qing asked directly.
âAre you sure you want to sell this talisman to our Treasure Tower, master?
Actually, our Treasure Tower also offers a consignment service for rare treasures.
If you are willing to consign this talisman here, waiting for the right person to purchase it, perhaps it could sell for a higher price.
But if you sell it directly to our Treasure Tower, the price will be slightly lower.â
At this point, the enchanting woman explained.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing nodded inwardly.
It seems Zhang Feng was right; the Treasure Tower indeed has good business credibility.
At least the honesty shown now made him feel quite comfortable.
However, after thinking for a moment, he said, âNo need. If possible, I hope to sell it directly to your Treasure Tower.â
Indeed, consigning it at the Treasure Tower might yield higher returns, but it wouldnât be efficient.
Right now, Lu Qing was quite poor and urgently needed spirit stones.
Selling it slowly on consignment would be too slow for him.
Therefore, selling it directly to the Treasure Tower was most convenient.
The enchanting woman nodded, âUnderstood. According to our rules, selling directly to us means the price will be slightly lower. I hope you understand, master.â
Lu Qing smiled, âI trust the reputation of your Treasure Tower.â
âThen, for your talisman, we at the Treasure Pavilion are willing to offer one hundred and twenty lower-grade spirit stones. What do you think?â
Seemingly worried about any misunderstanding, the enchanting woman explained, âUsually, we purchase initial Golden Core level talismans for one hundred lower-grade spirit stones.
But your talisman is a rare thunder attribute talisman.
So I took the liberty to increase the offer by twenty lower-grade spirit stones.
Are you satisfied with this price, master?â
âThat works.â Lu Qing nodded.
To be honest, this price was already beyond his expectations.
After all, crafting the Thunder Shock Talisman wasnât particularly difficult for him.
Just like that, he could earn one hundred and twenty lower-grade spirit stones.
This way, not only had they covered their rent,
but perhaps soon heâd gather enough spirit stones to enter the Heavenly Origin Great World.
The next steps were much simpler.
Lu Qing sold the Thunder Shock Talisman to the Treasure Tower and received one hundred and twenty lower-grade spirit stones.
However, at his request, one hundred lower-grade spirit stones were exchanged for one middle-grade spirit stone.
The spiritual charm contained in spirit stones of different grades, both in quality and quantity, varies greatly.
It can be said to be a qualitative difference.
Therefore, the exchange rate between them is also quite large, which is one hundred to one.
That is, one hundred lower-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one middle-grade spirit stone.
After obtaining the spirit stones, Lu Qing left very satisfied.
Meanwhile, the enchanting woman walked toward the Treasure Vault with the Thunder Shock Talisman in hand.
The rule of the Treasure Tower was that any acquired treasures were to be first stored in the Treasure Vault.
After being reappraised by the appraiser within the tower, they would be put up for sale.
âZi Yuan, what treasure did you receive this time? You seem to be in quite a good mood.â
As the enchanting woman walked toward the Treasure Vault with the Thunder Shock Talisman.
Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded.
The enchanting woman turned and quickly bowed, âMaster Wang.â
She saw an elderly man walk over from the side, âNo need for formalities. I see youâre smiling. Did you receive some exotic treasures?â
âI just received a talisman, a Golden Core level one, and itâs a relatively rare thunder attribute talisman,â the enchanting woman replied.
âOh, a thunder attribute talisman?â Master Wang raised his eyebrows.
Seeing his reaction, the enchanting woman was moved.
Not only was Master Wang the Master of Identification at the Treasure Tower, but he also had deep expertise in talisman making.
Many mid to low-tier talismans in the Treasure Tower were made by him.
No wonder he reacted this way.
Thinking of this, the enchanting woman presented the Thunder Shock Talisman to him.
âThis talisman is called the Thunder Shock Talisman. Since Master Wang is here, please help appraise it to see if Zi Yuan is mistaken.â
Master Wang had already taken an interest in the talisman the enchanting woman held.
He smiled immediately at this, âSure, since I have nothing else to do, Iâll appraise it for you.â
With that, he took the Thunder Shock Talisman.
Just as he took the Thunder Shock Talisman, he let out a sound of surprise.
Because he noticed the spirit jade material used for this talisman didnât seem very advanced.
But isnât this a Golden Core level talisman?
With a hint of doubt, a blue light flowed in Master Wangâs eyes as he applied his unique Secret Technique to appraise the talisman he held.
Gradually, his eyes widened more and more.
