I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 520

Chapter 520: Transaction Successful, Master Wang

As he stepped into the Treasure House, Lu Qing felt a subtle touch of formation power sweep across his body.

Without his keen senses, he might not have noticed it.

However, he remained calm, knowing it was a defensive measure taken by the Treasure House to prevent unauthorized entry.

He was confident in his transformation skills; even a powerful Yuan Shen would find it difficult to discern his true form.

The Treasure House’s formation must be similar.

Sure enough, the power of the formation vanished after sweeping across his body, leaving no further movement.

A seductively beautiful woman in a short purple robe emerged.

“Master Jindan, welcome to our Treasure House. I am your welcoming envoy. How may I assist you?”

“As expected of one of Canglan City’s top factions,”

Lu Qing sensed. This seductively beautiful woman possessed a formidable aura, possessing a foundation-building cultivation level. He couldn’t help but sigh

in admiration at the Treasure House’s immense power; even a mere receptionist in a branch building possessed such a high level of cultivation.

“I heard that Guibaolou not only sells rare and precious treasures, but also purchases treasures from other cultivators. Is that true?”

Lu Qing sighed inwardly, but didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he asked.

“Yes, we also purchase all kinds of rare and precious treasures. Do you have any treasures you’d like to sell, sir?”

The charming woman wasn’t surprised by Lu Qing’s inquiry.

After all, many cultivators would come to the Treasure House to sell their treasures after acquiring them.

However, few of those treasures were of value to the Treasure House.

Lu Qing took out the [Thunderbolt Talisman] he had just engraved and refined.

“I have a talisman here. Could you tell me how much it’s worth?

Is it something Guibaolou would appreciate?” “A talisman?”

The charming woman took the jade talisman from Lu Qing’s hand, her expression suddenly faltering.

Though the jade talisman looked ordinary, the subtle aura within it made her heart flutter.

“At least a Jindan-level talisman!”

the charming woman immediately made her assessment.

The aura of the talisman, which had even caused her to tremble, could definitely not be of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

She immediately said, “Please wait a moment, sir. We need to appraise this talisman first.”

“No problem, please feel free to do as you please.”

Given the heritage and reputation of the Treasure House, Lu Qing naturally had no concerns that they would embezzle a small Jindan-level talisman.

The alluring woman immediately returned to the counter, retrieved a magical artifact, and placed the [Thunder Talisman] on it.

Moments later, a faint golden light emanated from the artifact.

“It’s indeed a Jindan-level talisman, and it’s of the thunder attribute!”

the alluring woman exclaimed in surprise, examining the information detected by the artifact.

She then took out the talisman and approached Lu Qing.

“Sir, thank you for waiting. This talisman is of extremely high quality. Although it only possesses the power of a lower Jindan level, it is a rare thunder-attributed talisman and is worth a fortune.”

“So, if your Treasure House were to purchase it, what price would you offer?” Lu Qing asked directly.

“Sir, are you sure you want to sell this talisman to our Treasure House?

We also offer consignment services for rare treasures.

If you’re willing to place this talisman with us for sale, waiting for a suitable buyer, you might be able to fetch a higher price. However,

if you sell it directly to the Treasure House, the price will be lower,”

the alluring woman explained.

Lu Qing nodded secretly.

It seemed Zhang Feng was right; the Treasure House had a good reputation.

At least the honesty he displayed now made him feel quite comfortable.

But after a moment’s thought, he said, “No, if possible, I’d like to sell it directly to the Treasure House.”

While consigning it to the Treasure House might yield higher returns, the efficiency wasn’t guaranteed.

Lu Qing was currently penniless and in urgent need of spirit stones.

Selling it slowly on consignment would take too long.

Therefore, selling it directly to the Treasure House was the most convenient option.

The alluring woman nodded. “I understand. According to industry regulations, if we sell it directly to our Treasure House, the price will be lower. I hope you will understand.”

Lu Qing smiled, “I believe in the reputation of your Treasure House.”

“Then, sir, our Treasure House is willing to purchase this talisman for 120 low-grade spirit stones. What do you think?”

As if afraid that Lu Qing might misunderstand, the alluring woman explained, “We usually purchase talismans at the primary stage of the Golden Core stage for 100 low-grade spirit stones.

However, this talisman of yours is a rare thunder-attributed talisman.

Therefore, I have taken the initiative and increased the purchase price by 20 low-grade spirit stones.

I wonder if you are satisfied with this price?”

“Yes,” Lu Qing nodded.

To be honest, this price was beyond his expectations.

After all, the [Thunder Talisman] was not difficult to craft.

Just with this, he could earn back 120 low-grade spirit stones.

In this way, they would not only make back their rent.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he’d have enough spirit stones to enter the Tianyuan World.

The rest of the story would be much simpler.

Lu Qing sold the [Thunder Talisman] to the Treasure House for 120 low-grade spirit stones.

However, at his request, 100 of those low-grade spirit stones were exchanged for one medium-grade spirit stone.

The spiritual energy contained within spirit stones of different grades differed enormously, both in quality and quantity.

It’s no exaggeration to say it was a qualitative difference.

Therefore, the exchange rate was extremely high, at a one-to-one-hundred ratio.

In other words, one hundred low-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for one medium-grade spirit stone.

After receiving the spirit stones, Lu Qing left, very satisfied.

The alluring woman, holding the [Thunder Talisman], headed towards the treasury.

Treasure House rules dictated that all treasures received must first be returned to the treasury.

Only after the appraisers within the building had revalued them would they be released for sale.

“Ziyuan, what goodies have you received? You seem quite cheerful.”

Just as the alluring woman was heading towards the treasury, carrying the [Thunder Talisman],

a teasing voice suddenly rang out.

The alluring woman turned and quickly saluted, “Master Wang.”

An elderly man approached, “No need for formalities. You look so smiling. Have you received another rare treasure?”

“I just received a talisman. It’s a Jindan-grade talisman, and a relatively rare thunder-attributed one,” the alluring woman replied.

“Oh, a thunder-attributed talisman?” Master Wang raised an eyebrow.

Seeing this, the alluring woman’s heart stirred.

Master Wang was not only the treasure house’s master appraiser, but also a master talisman maker himself.

Many of the mid- and low-level talismans in the treasure house were made by him.

No wonder he reacted like that.

With this thought in mind, the alluring woman held the [Thunder Talisman] over.

“This talisman is called the [Thunder Talisman]. Master Wang is here, so please help me identify it and see if Ziyuan has made a mistake.”

Master Wang was already interested in the talisman in the hand of the charming woman.

Seeing this, he immediately smiled and said, “Okay, I happen to have nothing to do right now, so I will help you identify it.”

After saying that, he took the [Thunder Talisman].

As soon as he took the [Thunder Talisman], he exclaimed.

Because he could feel that the spiritual jade material used in this talisman did not seem to be very high-end.

But isn’t this a Jindan-level talisman?

With a hint of doubt, Master Wang’s eyes flashed with green light, and he had already used his unique secret method to identify the talisman in his hand.

Then, slowly, his eyes gradually widened.
