Trading Chamber Commerce

The next day.

The rays of sunlight shone upon the body of Long Chen, who was long awake, dazzling him with an ethereal radiance with his features as brilliant as the fiery sun.

Long Chen had went for a short period of cultivation the moment he woke up from his sleep, and managed to make a small breakthrough towards the Mid-Stage of the 5th Elementary Realm.

He stood up from his position, then headed out of the Sect with his usual disguise on and his storage bag containing the precious pills.

When he was just about to reach the Trading Chamber Commerce, a notification resounded within his mind.

[Bone and Muscle Alteration skill has upgraded from Grade 5 to Grade 6]

[Bone and Muscle Alteration has increased in effectiveness]

Long Chen paused in his footsteps to check the difference in the skill, and he realized that the disguise on his face now seemed more solid and real.

Of course, he still knew that this disguise of his could not triumph over the sharp eyes of powerhouses who was far ahead of him in cultivation.

Such as the Sect Leader. He did not know how high the Sect Leader's cultivation was, but it was definitely above the Sky Realm.

But to the weaker cultivators, it would work.

After getting a feel of his disguised face, he then walked into the bustling Trading Chamber Commerce.

This place was huge, with around a few stories in height. There were numerous counters and attendants, which attended to the customers who would like to either sell, or buy items.

The Trading Chamber Commerce was a place where almost everything was sold, be it pills, weapons, furnaces, and herbs.

Of course, the pills sold here could not be compared to the Alchemy Association which was specifically meant for selling high quality pills.

It was still rather popular and has always managed to sell out.

The Trading Chamber Commerce mainly focuses on weapons and furnaces.

The Alchemy Association is where Alchemists gather, and the Trader Chamber Commerce is where Blacksmiths are concentrated in.

There is also a Blacksmith Association within the Wind Cloud City, but this association is managed by the Trading Chamber Commerce to work for them, while also providing the Blacksmiths with the appropriate benefits.

At a place where they mainly sell weapons and furnaces, pills would be considered as rarer, and would be sold at a higher price.

As Long Chen went inside the building, he did not bother to hide his cultivation, because he understood that the customers and sellers here are treated with more authority and care depending on either your cultivation, or your family background.

"I would like to find somebody to talk business with." Long Chen turned his head and looked at one of the attendants who was beside him.

The attendant, who could feel the distinct pressure radiating out from Long Chen, stiffly nodded her head and personally led him into a separate room.

Long Chen saw a man quietly sitting down inside the room, along with a female assistant who stood silently beside her.

When the man heard the door opening, he lifted his head and stared at Long Chen, the newcomer.

"Fellow cultivator, I am Gu Yin, one of the Elders within the Trading Chamber Commerce. May I ask, what are you here for?" Gu Yin stood up from his seat as he courteously introduced himself with a warm smile on his face.

He could sense that the man in front of him had a cultivation of the 5th Elementary Realm, and this is definitely no simple customer.

Of course, he did not lose his composure whatsoever, for he had seen many others like Long Chen come in as well, and in the end left him in disappointment.

Thus, he simply maintained a polite demeanor.

Long Chen took a seat down on the chair opposite to Gu Yin, and then directly said, "I am here to sell pills."

"Sell pills?" Gu Yin's smile did not leave his face, but his eyes dulled down the slight anticipation he had, "What kind of pills would you like to sell?"

"Grade 1 Qi Gathering Pills." Then, without waiting for Gu Yin to respond, he took out the 9 pills within his storage bag and placed it on the table.

He had protected the pills with a layer of his Elemental Qi energy so that it does not get damaged, and it looked like it had worked.

The blue colored pills sparkled with a slight gleam, with their pill scents suffusing the entire room with a pleasant and alluring smell.

Gu Yin's smile froze as he looked towards the pills, "This is…"

He rubbed his eyes to see if he was hallucinating, but the sight in front of him was undeniable. They were legitimate pills.

"Pill scent! These are pills that are in the Mid-Tier quality!" Gu Yin exclaimed in astonishment, his mouth agape in shock.

It was not surprisingly for his reaction to be so exaggerated, after all, he had seen Mid-Tier pills before, but never had he seen so many Mid-Tier pills together!

"No! This is not a Mid-Tier Pill! This is a…" Gu Yin's voice started to stutter, and he pointed a trembling finger towards one of the pills that looked different, "High-Tier quality pill!"

Gu Yin's body trembled in excitement, his eyes still wide open, while he was now taking deep breaths to comfort his pounding heart.

"Senior, are you going to be selling these pills?" Gu Yin very carefully asked. His tone of address had already changed, because someone who could take out these quality pills was definitely someone higher in status than he was.

"I want to sell these pills in the auction. How much could they fetch for?" Long Chen unhurriedly questioned.

"Senior, if you sell these pills in the auction, I figure that the 9 Mid-Tier Pills will sell for around 90 crystals and the 1 High-Tier Pill for around 100 Crystals. Of course, that is without deducting the 10% fees we charge for our auctioning services. " Gu Yin slowly informed, making sure his every word was clear.

"Okay. Help me sell these then." Long Chen calmly stared at Gu Yin as he replied in an careless manner, as though the profits were nothing to him.

After seeing Long Chen's reaction, Gu Yin further reinforced his idea that the man in front of him definitely came from a huge background, or that he was an experienced Alchemist, which was how he was able to procure these pills.

"Senior, because of the scale of this sale, our Trading Chamber Commerce will gift you with a Gold card. With this Gold card, you will be entitled to a discount of 10% when buying items from us, and can also enter the Gold ranked Auction room for any of our auctions in the future." Gu Yin took a gold colored card with the Trading Chamber Commerce insignia imprinted on it, and handed it towards Long Chen with two hands.

Long Chen merely took a glance at the card, then casually took it with one hand.

"Senior, our auction will be held 3 days from now, and when the auction has ended, you can come back here to collect your earnings." Gu Yin said with an amiable smile on his face.

"Thank you. I hope that you would be able to sell these pills well." Long Chen stood up and glanced at Gu Yin.

"Of course. We will definitely make sure it will sell for a satisfactory price." Gu Yin assured.

After exchanging a few short pleasantries, Long Chen then quickly left the room.

This action of his was not because he looked down on Gu Yin, but rather, he needed to hide his emotions that were barely able to be suppressed.

It was only after he walked a long way from the Trading Chamber of Commerce that he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The information that Gu Yin had told him was far too astounding for his broke self to accept.

100 Crystals, along with another 90 Crystals in profit? Just for 9 Pills?

He knew that Alchemists all earned a lot, but he didn't know that it was this profitable!

When he had heard the figure out of Gu Yin's mouth, he had almost had the urge to fist the air in excitement.

190 Crystals! He was going to be rich!

He had barely spent 50 Crystals just to refine the 9 pills, and that was including the cauldron which took out the bulk of the cost. If he were to buy a few more sets of ingredients, and refine more pills, how much money could he possibly make?
