Seeing Li Yunjing’s determined look, Steward Liu hastened to count the items. A quarter of an hour later, the appraisal was complete. Steward Liu sat back down opposite Li Yunjing, smiled slightly, and said, "You need to provide at least ten High Grade Demon Artifacts." Upon hearing this exchange condition, although Li Yunjing was mentally prepared, the high price still made his heart sink. The price of the Top Grade Pill Furnace was simply outrageous! The "Cyan Cloud Ship" Li Yunjing had modified wasn’t even a third as expensive as the "Myriad Dao Glaze Furnace!" Li Yunjing let out a long breath and said softly, "Isn’t it too expensive? With the capabilities of your ’Treasure Pavilion,’ if you transport these Demon Artifacts to the territories of ’Yin Mountain Sect’ or ’Netherworld Ghost Sect,’ with the price difference, you could at least make a thirty percent profit!" Steward Liu laughed at Li Yunjing’s words and said with a charming smile, "But currently, in the territory of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ these items are prohibited!" "Because of this, the transportation costs and the risks involved would be exponentially higher!" "The price I’m offering is already very fair!" Seeing Li Yunjing remain silent, Steward Liu continued, "Think about it, friend! Is a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact Level Pill Furnace a common item? I can assure you, within the entire Great Ming Dynasty and across countless markets, having ten Top Grade Pill Furnaces available for sale is already an extremely high number!" "Such a rare and precious item, if you miss it today, it’ll go to auction. Just imagine, if it’s at an auction, with countless Alchemy Masters competing, do you think you can win it with this offer?" "Moreover, you can’t use Demon Artifacts for transactions at an auction, can you?" "Sigh! It’s too much! How about this: I propose one Top Grade Demon Artifact. Will Steward Liu consider the trade?" Steward Liu held Li Yunjing in a chokehold, hitting his weak spot. This Pill Furnace was something Li Yunjing was determined to obtain! Moreover, aside from Steward Liu, it was really difficult for Li Yunjing to acquire a Top Grade Pill Furnace from other places. Originally, Li Yunjing would have been content with any Spiritual Artifact Level Pill Furnace. But upon seeing the Top Grade Pill Furnace, Li Yunjing lost interest in medium or low-level ones. It’s like going to a car show and seeing a supercar that you can afford. The ordinary cars you originally planned for don’t catch your eye anymore. It’s the same principle. What’s more, a Pill Furnace has real practical value, greatly enhancing the level of Alchemy. Over the years, the saved Spiritual Materials would be enough to buy this Pill Furnace. Li Yunjing had already calculated all these benefits in his mind; such a rare Top Grade Spiritual Artifact Level Pill Furnace right before his eyes, and it could be used for decades or even a century. Li Yunjing was making a final effort to haggle over the price. Steward Liu laughed, her smile so broad that she rocked back and forth as if she had heard something incredibly amusing. Seeing Li Yunjing’s face turn grim, she stopped laughing and said, "Two Top Grade Demon Artifacts!" "By the way! I am a Silver member of ’Treasure Pavilion,’ aren’t there discounts for customers?" Having no other choice, Li Yunjing brought up the matter, taking out his Silver Token and waving it in his hand. "Oh? So you’re really a Silver member of our ’Treasure Pavilion!’" A glint flashed in Steward Liu’s eyes. She thought for a moment, then smiled, "Unless you are willing to upgrade your membership level and owe me a favor." Li Yunjing was taken aback and fell silent. Upgrading the membership level would reveal his name, which seemed disadvantageous for him? "Rest assured, friend!" "The rules of our ’Treasure Pavilion’ are very strict. Not just the Southern Heaven Continent, but on other continents as well, we have many partners in the Immortal Dao, Buddhist Dao, Demon Dao, Witch Dao, Demon Dao, Confucian Dao, Ghost Dao... Every system, every kind of person, we have clients from various backgrounds." "There are many prominent figures in your ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ who do business with us as well!" "Your situation is not uncommon either!" "But if you want to obtain information about your fellow sect members from ’Treasure Pavilion,’ even if you give me a Top Grade Demon Artifact, I won’t provide you with a list!" "This is a strict rule of our ’Treasure Pavilion!’ No one can break it!" Knowing Li Yunjing’s concerns, Steward Liu explained with a smile. Li Yunjing nodded slightly, aware of the rules of ’Treasure Pavilion’ and some other super business organizations; this was their foundation, and leaks of client information were rare occurrences. Of course, this wasn’t absolute! Because, in the face of huge benefits, there were no secrets, and being sold out by someone was also a common occurrence. However, with Li Yunjing’s status, it wasn’t likely someone would offer a sky-high price to sell his information. The most crucial point was, Li Yunjing’s actions didn’t violate major sect rules, at most just incur a minor punishment. With his capabilities, navigating through the sect, a minor punishment wouldn’t cause any real loss. Thinking through this, Li Yunjing shook his hand and tossed the Silver Token to Steward Liu.

Li Yunjing then took out a Top Grade Demon Artifact Flying Sword from his ’Hundred Treasures Pouch’ and handed it to Steward Liu. Currently, he had almost cleared out his spoils of war from the Demon Dao. What remained were some Elixirs, materials, and Tier One Magical Artifacts.
