Chapter 521: Plum Lantern Shopping
Sage had been busy lately, and had only frequented Thousand Treasures. While they had many powerful and expensive items, they were as close to a chain store that could be found in this world. They stocked the same things at every location, so seeing one hed seen all of them for the most part. Seeing that there was a Blacksmith, or a Tool Refiner as they liked to call them in this Kingdom, present Sage was excited to browse. Even if he didnt end up buying anything it was still always a thrill to see new and interesting things.
As their group of three walked in, Sage felt like hed walked into an antiques shop. He was quite used to seeing racks of weapons, armor, and supporting medicines at cultivator stores. They were the most popular items among cultivators and so that was what a place like Thousand Treasures focused on. The atmosphere in this store, aptly named Hidden Gems, was much more ancient and mystical. The various little small trinkets on the shelves all felt like they had their own storied pasts or interesting origins. What was most surprising was that Sage didnt feel they had all been created by the same Smith. In the Thousand Treasures, most of their wares were purchased from a few dozen reliable sources. While the other half of their goods were things that had been traded in, it still meant there was a sort of standardized feel to their wares. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Contrary to other high class stores, no attendant came up to them or called out to greet them. The only workers were a pair of old men with matching outfits. One of them was laying on a divan waving a fan while the other was walking from shelf to shelf, dusting. The other surprising thing was it was far less lively here than the other shops. There were many people walking up and down the street shopping from all the Plum Lantern shops, while this store Hidden Gems had only a few inside. After a few moments of shopping, they realized why. A few wild and rambunctious people walked in, but before they took more than a few steps a powerful aura came from the old man on the divan. It pressured the new arrivals and the lounging man called out to them, Out, far too noisy!
A gentle wave of force wafted towards them, pushing them out of the shop. Sage was impressed by the mans exquisite control and strength. Not a single speck of dust was harmed in the shop while the rowdy people were kicked out. Outside, the people that were just kicked out looked angry, but when they were about to rush back in they felt an even greater power than before around them. They felt the danger and shut their mouth, turning around and walking away rapidly.
Thats certainly one way to do it.
With such an example, it made sure that everyone else in the shop continued to stay calm and respectful, carefully browsing the items. Much more interestingly, none of the items on the shelves had any names or descriptions on them, all they had was a little card with a price listed. Even that was probably only because they didnt want to spend all their time answering questions. Their group of three slowly spread out through the store, going to examine the things they thought were interesting. Tujiu walked over towards a few paintings and reliefs of large battlefields. Xiezi moved towards shelves loaded with bits of jewelry. Sage on the other hand wasnt drawn to anything in particular, moving quickly through the shelves and examining the craftsmanship of the items.
The duster disappeared from the old mans hands and he smiled, Oh, so you like the Evil Dispelling Ruyi? Quite a wondrous item, it is said to be only a hair short of being a true artifact. It originally was intended to harness the power of a Demonic Core from a miraculous beast. Only, it was a failure and it didnt awaken an artifact spirit. The core shattered. Instead, this pearl was used and the Evil Dispelling Ruyi took form. It is a powerful weapon against dark spirits and souls.
Sage nodded, It is quite impressive.
Before Sage could say more, the man smiled, It is indeed. How would you like to pay? Do you have Iron Mountain bank notes, or will you return for it later?
At that moment, Sage realized that hed been spoiled in the past. The few large transactions hed done in the past were with auction houses and they thought nothing of him having an absurdly large storage treasure. Thinking about it, since they were about as big as a marble the standard Storage Bag could only hold about 20,000 Spirit Stones, and the standard Storage Ring was only four times larger. For a purchase like this hed have to be carrying 10 rings full of Spirit Stones. It was no wonder that one of the Four Major Businesses of the Kingdom was a bank. Even with storage treasures, the rich folks couldnt carry around all of their wealth with them. It was also a good deterrent to bandits and thieves if every person werent walking around carrying their full net worth with them.
Of course, those same rich people would also be able to afford much larger Storage Rings, but it was still a good idea to use a bank to deter thieves. Sage shook his head, I have Spirit Stones.
The mans eyes lit up. Being able to carry so many meant this was truly a big customer and he carefully swept the Evil Dispelling Ruyi into a Storage Ring and then brought Sage into a back room to conduct the transfer of such a large number of Spirit Stones. When Sage went back into the store, Xiezi and Tujiu were looking at him, I thought you werent planning on buying anything?
Xiezi cut right to the point, while Tujiu just looked sad, I only have a few thousand Spirit Stones. Why dont you give me a bigger allowance?
