"Very well! Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. Our ’Treasure Pavilion’ steward will be here shortly!" The assistant put down the "Communication Talisman," poured tea for Li Yunjing, and said with a smile. "Hehe! I heard from the people below that you have some good things, is that true?" Outside the reception room, the sound of the door opening could be heard, and then a young girl walked in. Upon hearing the voice, Li Yunjing turned his head to look at the newcomer and saw that the woman’s appearance was extremely beautiful, dressed in a sapphire blue attire, with skin that was translucent and radiant, giving her a refined and otherworldly look. "Greetings, Steward Liu!" The assistant quickly stood up and saluted when he saw Steward Liu arrive. "Hmm! You can go on with your work! I’ll have a chat with this esteemed guest." The woman glanced at the nine blood banners on the table, her heart stirred, and she instructed. The assistant glanced at Li Yunjing, smiled, and said, "Honored guest, this is Steward Liu of our ’Treasure Pavilion.’ You can discuss the specifics with her now. I will take my leave!" Li Yunjing nodded, looked at Steward Liu who sat opposite him, and said, "These blood banners are quite valuable. Steward Liu, you should be aware of their worth. Does ’Treasure Pavilion’ wish to make a deal?" "These are indeed good items! The combined power of these nine blood banners is tremendous, comparable to top-grade spiritual artifacts, or even half-step treasure artifacts!" Steward Liu picked up one of the blood banners, examined it, then pointed to the six pieces of jewelry on the table and said with a smile, "These pieces of jewelry, combined, are not enough for a trade. What else do you need? Our ’Treasure Pavilion’ can increase the offer!" Li Yunjing thought for a moment and softly asked, "Does ’Treasure Pavilion’ have a Spiritual Artifact level pill furnace for sale?" Steward Liu’s eyes gleamed briefly with a flash of insight, and she then smiled. This secretive guest turned out to be an Alchemy Master! She wondered if he was affiliated with any particular force. If not, she could consider recruiting him into ’Treasure Pavilion’ as a contracted Alchemy Master. Steward Liu smiled and asked, "What grade of pill furnace does Fellow Daoist seek? Our ’Treasure Pavilion’ has many fine items! We could even provide a Treasure Pill Furnace!" "Haha!" The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Li Yunjing laughed lightly, but inside he was astonished. He hadn’t expected ’Treasure Pavilion’ to have such excellent items. Indeed, they are the top-ranked merchant association on the Southern Heaven Continent! Li Yunjing smiled again and asked, "Tell me about your top-grade Spiritual Artifact pill furnace. How many additional chips will I need?" "Well, Fellow Daoist, you are truly generous!" Steward Liu chuckled. She became more and more intrigued by Li Yunjing. At this point, she no longer had the thought of recruiting Li Yunjing! For someone who could propose a trade involving a top-grade Spiritual Artifact pill furnace, Steward Liu knew that the other party must be extremely wealthy. Even ’Treasure Pavilion’ couldn’t buy out such a person. "Fellow Daoist, if you can bring out ten sets of demon artifacts of the same grade, I will foster a good relationship with you and exchange these pieces of jewelry and the pill furnace for you!" Steward Liu was very generous and continued, "Please, Fellow Daoist, have a seat! I will fetch the top-grade Spiritual Artifact pill furnace for you to inspect." With that, the graceful woman stood up and left the reception room. "Sigh! Where can I find that many demon artifacts of such level?" Li Yunjing furrowed his brow, rummaging through his ’Hundred Treasures Pouch,’ and knowing that he couldn’t hold onto these items any longer. He would need to add Spirit Stones as well! However, Li Yunjing was determined to obtain the top-grade Spiritual Artifact pill furnace, even if it meant selling everything he owned! A top-grade Spiritual Artifact pill furnace could greatly assist in alchemy, allowing him to refine elixirs of sixth grade and higher! Moreover, the difficulty of alchemy would be significantly reduced with the top-grade Spiritual Artifact pill furnace. Li Yunjing took out each demon artifact, which were all spoils of his recent battle. He had taken down forty heads. These Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators of the ’Netherworld Ghost Sect’ were not poor; each had at least one Spiritual Artifact, with some having two or three. These items quickly filled the table, and Li Yunjing, treating them like junk, threw them onto the floor with a clatter until half of the reception room was covered. As for the two top-grade demon artifacts from the Golden Core Realm demon cultivator, Li Yunjing was reluctant to trade them. Those were big killer artifacts. Li Yunjing kept them for his own secret use or to sell at a high price later. He wasn’t going to exchange them with ’Treasure Pavilion.’ In a bartering exchange, Li Yunjing would be at a disadvantage! Li Yunjing understood this concept clearly. There was no way he could slowly sell so many demon artifacts. If the sect found out, it would cause no end of trouble. It was better to take a small loss and clear them out at ’Treasure Pavilion’ all at once, thus avoiding future trouble. Not long after Li Yunjing had laid everything out, Steward Liu returned with a box in her hands. Seeing the room full of demon artifacts, Steward Liu’s cherry lips parted in astonishment, her large eyes filled with shock. The entire room was filled with demon artifacts! Even the well-traveled Steward Liu was completely stunned. Then she understood! The visitor was a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator from the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ who participated in the attack on the ’Netherworld Ghost Sect’ and reaped considerable spoils from the battlefield, having slain many ’Netherworld Ghost Sect’ disciples. This person had come to dispose of stolen goods under the cover of secrecy! The rules of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ were well-known to ’Treasure Pavilion,’ explaining why this person was so cautious. "I’ve brought all these items for exchange. If it’s still not enough, just say so!" Li Yunjing smiled and pointed to the demon artifacts. "Alright! Please inspect this pill furnace while I appraise these demon artifacts!" Steward Liu tossed the wooden box to Li Yunjing and started examining the demon artifacts. "Feel free to take a look, Fellow Daoist!" Li Yunjing nodded and opened the box, revealing a delicate, foot-long, three-legged, rainbow-hued pill furnace. The pill furnace sparkled and shone, exuding a lively aura, somewhat similar to the spirituality of the ’Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword.’ After a quick glance, Li Yunjing took out the pill furnace and carefully examined it up close. As she swiftly inspected each demon artifact, Steward Liu chuckled and said, "This ’Myriad Dao Glaze Furnace’ is truly a prized item! It was meant for an auction! But considering Fellow Daoist’s urgent need, I removed the ’Myriad Dao Glaze Furnace’ from the auction list." "Oh! Thank you, Steward Liu, for your help!" Li Yunjing responded perfunctorily, while inwardly he was scornful: "If it weren’t for the substantial value of my demon artifacts, which you lot at ’Treasure Pavilion’ could flip to the ’Netherworld Ghost Sect,’ would you be so kind?" Attempting to infuse a trace of mana into the ’Myriad Dao Glaze Furnace,’ it suddenly expanded with a roar, growing to three feet in size. Li Yunjing directed some mana into the furnace, igniting a ’Nine Yang Fire.’ Instantly, the ’Myriad Dao Glaze Furnace’ radiated brilliantly with seven-colored light, and rich spiritual energy surged skyward. Even without actually refining elixirs, Li Yunjing felt an incredible affinity with the ’Myriad Dao Glaze Furnace,’ making it a treasure for Alchemy Masters. Even someone like Li Yunjing who had seen much of the world could not help but feel deeply moved. Li Yunjing made up his mind. He had to make this trade, no matter what! Money was not an issue! Everyone knew that valuable items were expensive, so there was no deception. He would pay whatever it took. Noticing Li Yunjing’s actions, Steward Liu smiled and said, "So, Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied?" Li Yunjing contemplated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Satisfied! It’s flawless! Please, quickly appraise and give me a fair price!"
