858 Treasure Palace Hall (2/2)

The Trading Palace Hall had a majestic entrance. It was magnificent. At the entrance, were two rows of tall and slender women wearing sexy cheongsams. Each row had eight people and they all looked beautiful.

At the very front, there was a team of guards. Only the people who passed the inspection could enter.

”Only those with wealth greater than three thousand spiritual stones or those with valuable treasures equivalent to that amount on them can enter the Trading Palace Hall,” Tang Zhizhi said to Mo Wen.

”Also, if you want to bring these two young maidens along with you, your wealth must be greater than nine thousand spiritual stones. Or, you must have valuable treasures equivalent to that amount on you. Otherwise, you cannot bring them in.”

As a Dragon City guide, Tang Zhizhi did not need proof of her wealth. With her guide insignia, she could enter the Trading Palace Hall. However, both Su Wan'er and Wang Qian could not be admitted. Nine thousand spiritual stones was an absolutely astonishing sum.

Upon hearing this, Su Wan'er and Wang Qian felt nervous. Nine thousand spiritual stones! That was a sum of wealth that they did not even dare imagine.

”Should we head back now?” Wang Qian asked softly. Su Wan'er nodded beside her. They were afraid that Mo Wen did not have that much money on him, and when the time came, it would be awkward.

”No worries. Since we are here, why don't we go in and take a look?” Mo Wen said with a smile. He walked up and took an item out of his sleeve. It was a small purple bell. There were mysterious patterns carved on it. Once it appeared, it emanated formless waves.

An elder sat at the entrance snoring away. When Mo Wen took out the Cries of Hades Bell, the elder immediately opened his eyes and stared at the Cries of Hades Bell. He had a slight look of surprise in his eyes.

”You may enter,” he said before immediately closing his eyes back again.

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately gestured toward them in welcome.

A look of astonishment flashed in Tang Zhizhi's eyes. What exactly was that small purple bell in Mo Wen's hand? She knew the elder. He was a high-ranking Huatian Palace appraiser. There were very few items in this world that they could not recognize.

The elder had only glanced at the small purple bell once, and he had allowed them all to enter. He did not even ask them anything. The value of the small bell must be astonishing.

Based on what she knew, only top-grade spiritual weapons had such value. Could that small bell be a top-grade spiritual weapon?

Their group entered the Trading Palace Hall. It was not Tang Zhizhi's first time here, so she appeared very calm. Mo Wen had also been to many grand occasions, so his expression was also neutral. Su Wan'er and Wang Qian, on the other hand, looked around curiously. They kept glancing here and there like excited children.

The interior of the Trading Palace Hall was rather extravagant and magnificent. It was most likely grander than even the ancient palaces of the past.

According to Tang Zhizhi, most of the items traded in the Trading Palace Hall were rare. Many items were sold at expressly marked-up prices and no haggling was allowed. There were even some items that could only be exchanged for another item. Even spiritual stones and Dragon Coins could not be used to purchase them.

Transparent glass cabinets were placed around the corridors and the inner halls with items displayed inside. The price of the item and information related to it was displayed on top. These items in the cabinets were usually items that their owners had commissioned the Huatian Palace to sell, so they had predetermined the trading conditions.

Mo Wen glanced around and discovered that, as expected, the items on display in the cabinets were all treasures. Among them were many panacea and spiritual weapons. There were also some even rarer items. Mo Wen discovered some special items that only the Immortal Cultivation world had, such as a flying boat, a water-repelling magical instrument, and high-ranking talismans.

There were quite a lot of things. It really broadened Mo Wen's horizons. The items here were indeed rare and precious treasures.

”This is just one of the outer halls of the Trading Palace Hall. The further we go in, the higher the value of the items. The inner hall at the very center is filled with priceless treasures. It can be said that the Trading Palace Hall is like an exhibition of the world's greatest treasures,” Tang Zhizhi said somewhat proudly. Only the Huatian Palace had such an event in the entire world.

Mo Wen nodded his head and asked curiously, ”Do people buy things here?”

Although all the items in the Trading Palace Hall were treasures, their prices were also astonishing. Even he had been shocked by the prices. The price that the Huatian Palace sold an item for was at least five times higher than the cost of it in the Immortal Cultivation world.

Mo Wen had obtained fifteen thousand spiritual stones from the Luofeng Sect's treasures. He believed that he was rather wealthy. However, once he arrived at the Trading Palace Hall, he realized that he was still a beggar. Even he could not afford most of the items here.

However, an item is valued in proportion to its rarity. The people of the Source World most likely could only go through the Huatian Palace if they wanted to buy such items. A price that was five times that of the Immortal Cultivation world was rather reasonable.

”Of course people buy things here. The world is so vast. There are many rich people around, especially in those ancient sects of the Inner worlds with their thousand-year inheritances. Normally, they don't show themselves, but once they do, they are absolutely astonishing. The wealth of the Inner worlds was initially already bountiful. The ancient martial arts sects in the Inner worlds have been advancing for so many years. Their financial power is not to be underestimated. Before this, I have seen a sect spend tens of thousands of spiritual stones to purchase one profound level weapon,” Tang Zhizhi said. Since the Trading Palace Hall existed, it naturally had customers.
