Chapter 69: Astonished Old Qian

"System, how much longer until I can advance to a senior martial artist?"

Seated on the ground, Su Lang immediately asked, "And how much longer until the Lei Si True Technique reaches the small accomplishment level? How about the time needed for the deceased clone to reform?"

"Host, you only need 8 hours to advance to a senior martial artist!"

"The Lei Si True Technique will only need 7 hours to complete its advancement!"

"The deceased clone will require 16 hours to reform!"

The system provided all the information truthfully.

"Time is neither long nor short," Su Lang pondered for a moment, his gaze shifting to his coin balance—51,321 coins.

"I'm still short by nearly fifty thousand coins to upgrade the clone deployment function."

Su Lang thought to himself, "Selling the materials stored in the storage space should be enough."

Since the last transaction with Old Qian from the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, he hadn't sold any of the materials he had acquired afterward.

Now, the materials in the storage space had piled up into small mountains!

"To sell these materials, I need to make some preparations."

Su Lang sent one of his clones forward, dressing him in a different disguise that concealed his face.

Immediately after, he dispatched this clone into the city.

In the city of Hongfeng, in a dilapidated alley rarely visited by people, a figure in a white robe and cloak gradually appeared.

This figure was Su Lang's clone!

The figure in white robes and cloak glanced around, then left the alley.

First, he visited the slums, then made his way to the city tower hall.

At this moment, the city tower hall was heavily guarded under the influence of the Ye family, with everyone subjected to thorough checks before being allowed through the barriers.

"Unfortunately, no matter how strict the inspection is, what's the use?"

Seeing this scene, Su Lang couldn't help but show a sneer. "Even if I borrow a hundred more brains from you, you wouldn't imagine that I could directly send my clone into the city!"

With a hint of contempt, Su Lang directed his clone to swagger into the city tower hall and find Old Qian from the Hidden Treasure Pavilion.

"Hello, selling goods?"

Old Qian glanced at Su Lang's clone but didn't inquire about his identity.

Their Hidden Treasure Pavilion only did transactions and didn't pry into other matters!

Su Lang also valued this point, which was why he came back here again.

"A lot of stuff."

Su Lang's clone nodded, turned, and Old Qian quickly followed.

One in front and one behind, they arrived at the slums within the city.

Su Lang had already bought a house here and stored all the materials he intended to sell.

"Inside."

Su Lang's clone spoke briefly, opening the door.

"What? So much!?"

Old Qian saw the materials piled like small mountains inside the house, utterly stunned.

He had been in the business of purchasing materials for a long time, but this was the first time he had seen so much!

"Gulp!"

Old Qian swallowed excitedly. With so many materials, his commission would definitely be a significant sum!

He couldn't help but look at Su Lang's clone with respect and asked, "Are you the leader of a hunting group?"

"Yes, estimate a price."

Su Lang's clone casually said.

"Good!!"

Old Qian nodded excitedly, "But there are too many things. I need to find someone to help count!"

"Go ahead."

Su Lang's clone remained concise.

"Please wait, I'll go right away!"

Old Qian bowed and left in a hurry.

Shortly after, sweating profusely, Old Qian returned with four people to the slums.

Without wasting words, everyone started counting the materials.

Half an hour later, they finally finished counting all the materials.

"This esteemed guest, your materials are worth 55,456 gold coins, which qualifies you to become our Hidden Treasure Pavilion's Silver VIP!"

"Originally, we purchase at an 80% rate, but if you become our Silver VIP, we will buy them at a 10% discount!"

"Thus, we need to pay you 49,910 gold coins, rounding it up to an even 50,000 gold coins!"

"This is our Silver VIP card. It will activate automatically with spiritual energy. As our VIP, you not only enjoy a 10% discount on purchases but also have priority purchasing rights in our Hidden Treasure Pavilion shops!"

As Old Qian spoke, he took out a silver VIP card from his pocket and handed it to Su Lang's clone.

He only had this one membership card, and he had never thought he would be able to issue it to anyone.
