The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 562 - 322 Mirror
Her heart chilled, yet she earnestly said, "Indeed. My sister has been afflicted by soul detachment, I need this mirror to search for clues, thus I request He Lao to show the way, hoping to redeem this item." Soul detachment is a temporary memory loss. Humans have three souls and seven spirits, and those suffering from this condition will have two of their souls and six spirits detach from their body; they act normal during night, but come daylight, they completely forget what they’ve done. Her using soul detachment as an excuse to retrieve the mirror was quite reasonable.
Changtian suddenly said into her ear: "I remember now. This Manager Wu, his true form should be a Treasure Seeking Rat!"
She immediately realized. Treasure Seeking Rats are unusual demon species in the world, innately able to sense Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Divine Artifacts; however, this ability is not tolerated by Heaven, thus the bodies of Treasure Rats are frail, practically negligible in combat strength. Therefore, this breed must rely on attaching themselves to a major force to survive, and due to their "treasure seeking" talent, many Demon Sects also wish to accept them.
Changtian then added, "Manager Wu’s bloodline of Treasure Seeking Rat seems impure, probably having lost the ability to seek treasures, but his skill in appraising treasures remains. He can identify the purpose of the Spectrum Mirror even without knowing the name of the Magic Artifact. Therefore, the Gold Storage Tower uses him as the manager; first, he can immediately evaluate the value of goods when receiving them, and second, being in the Gold Storage Tower, no one could harm him."
At this moment, Wu Liuzhi looked displeasedly at He Lao and said, "Immortal Bandits have traded with us so many times, how could you not know the rules of Gold Storage Tower? Besides revealing souls, this mirror indeed has no other use, but according to the regulations of the Gold Storage Tower, all purchased items belong to Gold Storage Tower, this is not a pawnshop, there’s no precedent for redemption."
He Lao thought bitterly: I know the rules of Gold Storage Tower, but right now, talking to you, dammit, is not from my own will, you old jerk can’t even see that! Meanwhile, he heard his own chuckle twice, seemingly embarrassed.
Ning Xiaoxian laughed and said, "Naturally, we must follow the rules of Gold Storage Tower. But the batch of goods Manager Wu has brought in is also meant to be sold, right?"
Wu Liuzhi proudly said, "There’s nothing to hide about that, most of the items Gold Storage Tower takes in are waiting for the destined ones to come."
What waiting for the destined ones? It’s just waiting for people to buy stolen goods. Ning Xiaoxian knew, some cultivators after killing and robbing could not openly sell the goods to auction houses for fear that disciples from the victim’s sect might trouble them, hence they would turn to places like Gold Storage Tower to dispose of the stolen items for money; and buying a Magic Artifact from such a place would often be slightly cheaper than its true worth, making it a great deal for both parties, meanwhile, Gold Storage Tower would be rolling in money from the middleman role.
She smiled, "We won’t redeem it." In the puzzled gaze of Qi Zai, she continued, "Since these items are to be sold, we might as well buy it directly. Please name a price, Manager Wu, for a fair transaction that makes everyone happy."
This girl is quite shrewd, Wu Liuzhi admired and glanced at her, stroking his mustache. "This mirror just happens to be in the warehouse, not yet distributed, filled with Divine Power, in perfect condition, with vibrant color, can be rated as a Profound Level High Grade Magical Artifact, but apart from revealing souls, it doesn’t have much other use." After a shaking evaluation, then he said, "Hmm, you can take it for sixty thousand Spirit Stones."
Fairly speaking, this price wasn’t expensive. Ning Xiaoxian knew, even just for the purpose of revealing the presence of Yin Jiu You, let alone sixty thousand, even six hundred thousand, six million, or sixty million, she would have to grit her teeth and pay!
Hence, she straightforwardly took out a storage bag from her chest and placed it on the table: "Deal! The night is long and full of dreams, it’s better to secure the item quickly."
Sixty thousand Spirit Stones could stack up like a small mountain, of course, it was more convenient to store them in a storage bag. Wu Liuzhi took the bag, probed with his Divine Thought, and nodded satisfactorily; he then called a clerk to go fetch the item from the warehouse.
Ning Xiaoxian rolled her eyes, taking advantage of this momentary gap, took out several Magic Artifacts and handed them over to Wu Liuzhi. Along her Westward Journey with Tu Jin, they had dealt with quite a few short-sighted cultivators and demons. These unfortunate fellows, once captured into the God Demon Prison, also had their Magic Artifacts taken by her. What she now took out was just a part of them.
