Chapter 313: World Shocking Prices (2/2)

A steady stream of people walked in and out of the gate; it was clear that they were incredibly busy. These people were indeed a mixed bunch of people; some were dressed slovenly while others had their most elegant attire on.

Although some of them looked slovenly, Xue Wei did not dare look down upon them; a place like here was impossible to say who were the powerful experts and who were the cannon fodder.

Xue Wei had seen many magnificent sights throughout his young life, as he had been many places on his journey, but never had he seen anything as grand and overwhelming as this building.

It was towering into the sky, reaching so far up that the spire was hidden in the clouds.

When he entered the gate, Xue Wei looked around with interest, but it was not only him who was curious as to what goods could be for sale here on the Treasure Island, Luoluo and every other companion were observing with big eyes.

Xue Wei had taken all the loot from the Berserkers’ island. He had not had the time to really look through it, as he had been focused on cultivating, but now that he was here, he could not help but feel that it was the perfect time to empty his storage treasures for useless items.

However, before he started considering what to keep and what to sell, Xue Wei wanted to have an idea of what the different things sold for. If the price tag was too low, he might as well keep the materials for later.

Having thought like this, he started roaming the lowest floor of the pavilion. Here he found the most common and everyday materials; however, even though they were common materials, their price tag was in no way simple.

The most common cultivator could buy these materials on the mainland for a few gold pieces, however here the price was counted in essence stones.

It was not long before Xue Wei realized why. Materials, herbs, and ores came from the continents. It was more or less impossible to get their hands on them on the sea unless they managed to get it from robbing others, and thus the price was high.

Thinking like this, the eyes of Xue Wei started glistening. What he had was an abundance of resources that could be used to cultivate his cultivation base, but also to concoct medicine or create inscriptions.

On the first floor were no pills, nor inscriptions. They were on the second level and above, all pills, no matter their efficiency, were priceless treasures here on the sea as alchemists and inscription masters were simply too rare.

There were not enough materials on the sea to nurture more than a few of these professions. On top of this, everyone who had a trade like this was treated like kings and emperors by all.

Xue Wei did not hesitate any longer; he gestured for his friends, who had run around the floor to look at the things, and went to an appraisal desk.

”What can I do for you, young sirs?” The clerk behind the desk was immensely polite, but not to the point where he was humbling himself. He did not show any signs of arrogance or superiority, but he was not acting as a servant either. His behavior made Xue Wei acknowledge him as a figure of importance.

”We have a rather large haul of items we wish to have appraised and sold,” Xue Wei said. ”I am sure you have some rooms somewhere where we can discuss the matter in detail?”

The clerk took a second glance at them and nodded his head. ”We do indeed, please follow me,” he said as he politely gestured for them to follow him up the stairs.

The clerk did not stop before they had reached the ninth floor. Here he opened a door into a small chamber and let Xue Wei and his friends enter.

In fact, every single floor had their own appraisal rooms, but this clerk was experienced. Looking at Xue Wei and the others, he could sense that they came from a continent and were likely to have a lot of things they wished to sell.

As such, he took a gamble and led them to the upper floors where the VIPs were treated.

As Xue Wei entered the room, he instantly noticed that there were inscriptions all around. Many of these inscriptions were a rather low level - even he was capable of creating them - but there were so many of them that it was impossible to overlook them.

Narrowing his eyes, he quickly relaxed. He understood that these inscriptions were beneficial to him. Their purpose was to block out all sound heard in the room so that even if someone were standing with their ears pressed on the door, they would hear nothing.

The group did not have to wait for a long time before a withered old man appeared in the room. He had a long white beard and long white hair tied up elegantly on top of his head.

”Young masters,” he greeted as he entered, but although he greeted all of them, his eyes landed on Xue Wei.

He was an experienced old man and could instantly tell who was the leader of this bunch of people, so he quickly went to look for him, to see what they had to sell.

Xue Wei nodded his head, ”I have seen the senior,” he greeted back, and the withered old man felt pleased before he sat down opposite him.

”Which items do you have you wish to have appraised?” the old man asked while looking at Xue Wei, who withdrew one storage treasure after another, emptied it on the table. one item after another stacked up on the table, it was herbs, ores, pills, inscriptions, weapons, everything that one could think about appeared in the hands of this youngster, and it was in such magnificent quantities.

After emptying all the storage treasures he had gotten from the Berserkers’ Island, Xue Wei went on to clean his own storage treasure.
