Chapter 1247: Chapter 763_2
The shopkeeper nodded, bending over the storage bag, and began calculating the value of its contents; it was merely his own assessment. He didn’t take it out to sell immediately, of course, because he had selfish motives—after all, the materials were still in his hands!
He needed the pills for cultivation, and he also needed the various magical treasure materials. Using the money he had to buy what he required, he could manipulate things behind the scenes since the items hadn’t reached the store yet. Once out in the open, manipulation would no longer be possible!
Especially with the arrival of these distinguished guests earlier, the shop had attracted quite a crowd. If he placed those items outside for sale, they would quickly sell out!
The shopkeeper was very cunning. Their shop could absorb external resources, and those entering probably had similar ideas!
The shopkeeper was quick at calculations, and nobody found it annoying!
Jiang Tang was feeling rather laid-back, and though the shopkeeper offered him tea, he didn’t like it; the tea’s spiritual energy was too weak.
He was accustomed to the taste of the tea in his own space. Unfortunately, that tea couldn’t be transplanted. The production in his space was quite fast, but it was just enough for their own use, not for sale or gifting!
The shopkeeper, while calculating, swallowed hard. The items the great power holders brought out appeared insignificant to them, but to him, they were treasures!
The shopkeeper finished filling in the value of the items, took them out, and didn’t display them immediately for sale. Instead, he took out a storage bag and packed it with the best items from the shop’s warehouse, along with currency!
He seized the opportunity while stocking the warehouse to exchange some of his coins for items in the storage bag!
Then, he handed the customer’s storage bag over to another calculating shopkeeper, the financial manager.
But they took out both the items from their warehouse and the exchanged goods for everyone to see!
The shopkeeper’s speed was impressive, and even Eryao in the booth was starting to feel impatient!
“Green Ox, how much money and materials can you exchange for your junk? This money is usable for us, but only you can use the materials!”
Eryao’s words indicated that Green Ox was too weak, far inferior to him!
Green Ox… Well, of course, I’m not as good as you; if I were, would I still be the lackey?
Constantly bullied by you, always keeping my head down.
Green Ox could only grumble to himself; he wouldn’t dare say anything in front of Eryao. He couldn’t win in a fight, nor in an argument!
Eryao was merely teasing Green Ox out of boredom. He actually supported him selling the stuff; after all, what’s the point of holding onto that junk?
Eryao claimed each of his items was the best of the best and, of course, wouldn’t be up for sale!
To sell it so casually, it’d be better to save it for the owner’s base, for use by the staff there; selling it in the cultivation world might make it more worthwhile!
As the shopkeeper brought the storage bag full of items inside, he squeezed through a sea of people to get into the booth, alerting those outside to the presence of someone they wanted to meet!
Finally entering the private room, he placed the storage bag with the exchanged items on the table!
Then he wiped off a sweat; the people outside were too enthusiastic!
“Fairy, the items and spirit stones in here are what you exchanged your belongings for earlier. Is it enough for you?”
Green Ox picked up the storage bag and scanned through it. He didn’t know the exchange rate outside, but being able to trade for usable funds and items, however minor, meant the junk had some value!
He didn’t actually mind how high or low the shopkeeper’s offer was; looking at the items in the storage bag, his junk still had some use, and the exchange rate was quite acceptable!
Green Ox nodded in satisfaction, then whispered to Jiang Tang, “Master, do we need to buy anything else? If not, let’s leave!”
Jiang Tang nodded, and then their group stood up to leave!
The shopkeeper in charge of accounting left some valuable items in the shop as a draw, and took other items out for sale!
Some people were simply there to browse shops and observe immortals; when new products appear, curiosity would lead some to buy!
Others were quite stubborn, remaining at the room’s entrance, determined to catch a glimpse of the immortals, no matter how long it took!
When they emerged from the booth, the shop was so crowded it seemed difficult for them to leave!
Jiang Tang… the allure of this person was indeed enthusiastic, considering his good looks!
Green Ox… a bit of a miscalculation, how to get out with so many people?
Eryao… This dragon is too handsome, those adoring eyes, but unfortunately, you are all merely human!
Ye Tian… Oh oh, there are handsome men and beautiful women, but not as good as me. You don’t have to look at your brother with such mesmerized eyes; brother has a woman!
With just a glance from them, perhaps their aura was too strong, or their energy too immense, causing those people to unconsciously part the crowd, forming a path wide enough for one person!
They finally made their way down the stairs from the second floor, then through the main hall, and eventually out onto the street!
Since emerging from the shop, a swarm of people had followed after them once again!
Not to mention those who had already been active on the street, witnessing the immortal presence of these people.
Jiang Tang and his group rarely appeared in public, and now, suddenly appearing again, it was as if they were being watched like monkeys!
No wonder masters often seclude themselves; living independently in an unfathomable place.
This kind of roaming adventurer should truly be one of a kind, right?
Jiang Tang, as a great power holder, if not showing off a little, wouldn’t traveling through dimensions be considered a loss?
Their group’s presence was overwhelming; wherever they went, others would be forced to bend their straight backs, and even bow without realizing it!
As they arrived at an immortal teahouse, it was lunchtime, with patrons already present. The arrival of immortals led to nodding and bowing welcomes, drawing more people from the streets to follow them inside.
It turns out immortals, no matter how profound their abilities, also need to eat; they’re not entirely untouched by the mortal world!
Led to a private room on the second floor by an attendant, under the gaze of many eyes, they had already accepted the reality of their presence!
The attendant presented the menu, and Eryao began ordering; every specialty dish of the establishment was requested individually!
Seeing the arrival of immortals brought more business to their shop, the attendant was naturally delighted; an immortal ordering so many items wouldn’t suspect they lacked funds!
With such capabilities, others would even go out of their way to present them with money, offering treats!
Characters like this, many would want to befriend or get to know.
He had worked here for many years and had never seen such young, impressive, and dashing men appear before!
The attendant didn’t believe that the young people from the neighboring sect weren’t handsome or capable!
When he tried to serve them tea, he was stopped; today, they would only order food. They’d already consumed plenty of tea earlier, and would prepare their own tea when it was time to eat, bringing their own wine!
They came to the teahouse just to savor the flavors of the food, with no need for their tea and wine!
The attendant regretted a little that they were only consuming food, but their presence brought a butterfly effect; just moments ago, he noticed many people entering their establishment, keeping him busy!
After placing the order, the attendant quickly took it to the kitchen, then went on to attend to other customers!
He didn’t dare linger around them for too long, not wanting to become a nuisance!
The arrival of these young men brought a sudden surge of business to the teahouse!
Some customers merely ordered a small amount of food, not intending to eat, but just to catch another glimpse of the immortals, occupying a spot in the teahouse!
Some even stood outside in line, waiting just to catch a glimpse after they had finished eating.
The appearance of these high-caliber immortals spread quickly; those cultivating nearby, upon learning of this news, rushed to the fangshi.
Many came with specific purposes, either to witness the spectacle for themselves or simply to confirm the veracity of such news!
