Chapter 473: More Spirit Stones (1/2)

The private room was quite similar to the one from Gengbai Emporium and had some basic things in it like a table, some cushions and a tea set already prepared. Lin Mu did a quick sweep of  the room with his spirit sense just to check for assurance and found it to be normal.

This was something senior Xukong had taught him. At first Lin Mu was doubtful for the reason behind it but then he learned them very well from the memoirs of the lost immortal. There were often ways that shops and merchants used to trick customers.

Some of them were the use of befuddling formations that dulled the mind and allowed the merchant to get higher profit. There were also incenses that could do the same, and Lin Mu had already encountered them in the Alluring wisteria pavilion.

Here though, he found everything to be normal and thus he calmed down.

”Please take a seat, senior.” The Shopkeeper spoke.

Lin Mu sat down and so did the shopkeeper, but Hei Wan stood at the side.

”So senior, I see you have some spirit apples to sell, could you show them to me so I can appraise them?” The shopkeeper asked.

”Sure, but I think we'll need a bit more space than this.” Lin Mu said.

”More space?” The shopkeeper asked with confusion.

While Hei Wan had told the shopkeeper that Lin Mu had a large amount of spirit apples to sell, she hadn't told him the exact number. Doing so would make him determine the price beforehand and would then lessen the profit Lin Mu could make from it.

Still, the shopkeeper obliged and the table was moved to the side, leaving a much larger space there. Lin Mu then simply extended his hand and withdrew ten large barrels that took up nearly the entirety of the room, only leaving enough space for the three people to stand.

The shopkeeper was absolutely astounded and couldn't believe his eyes. He went to one of the barrels and opened its lid revealing the spirit apples that were stored inside. All of them looked the same as the one he had been shown.

Still, he didn't stop here he opened the lids of all the barrels and then used his spirit sense to count them. After ten minutes he was done judging and still had a surprised expression on his face.

”A total of thirty two thousand six hundred and nine spirit apples all of the same quality…” The Shopkeeper muttered.

He roughly calculated the price and how much he could resell them for and came up with the transaction costs.

”Senior this… for 32609 spirit apples I'm willing to offer you 24,268 low grade spirit stones or its equivalent in mid grade spirit stones.” The shopkeep spoke.

Lin Mu looked over to Hei Wan, and she slightly nodded her head.
