The Pecunia Merchant Association, Lunalith Branch.

As the sun began to rise, Sect Leader Conri left Oasis's garden after a night-long conversation.

It was the first time they had talked for so long, and for Oasis, it felt like a parental talk rather than just a disciple-master discussion.

Despite everything that had happened to him, Oasis realized he had a place to call home. 

"I feel like a huge burden has been lifted after talking with the Sect Leader," Oasis thought as he looked at the rising sun in his garden.

"Wow, life can be awesome at some point," he mused before deciding to head out into the streets of Lunalith.

Still dressed in the same attire he wore to the banquet, Oasis looked just as pristine, despite not having slept and participating in a duel.

As he ventured into the city, he noticed the hustle and bustle of the early morning.

People were setting up their stalls, opening their shops, and the aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air.

Merchants called out their prices, and city guards patrolled the streets.

The city was well-organized, with no slums, and maintained from corner to corner.

"Most things here are new to me, despite using this way when I go to the Bluemoon estate,"

Oasis thought as he looked around, realizing he had never really paid attention to his surroundings before.

After walking for a few minutes, Oasis reached Nacho's Barber.

"Greetings, Uncle Nacho," Oasis greeted politely.

"Oh, lad, it's you! You're looking top-notch, huh? I bet the young ladies are already fighting for you," Nacho said with a smile and a chuckle.

After exchanging greetings, Oasis asked for the location of the Pecunia Merchant Association and the Adric Pavilion.

Nacho was happy to help and advised Oasis to take a carriage, as the Adric Pavilion was a bit far.

This highlighted how big the city was and the extensive presence of city guards patrolling it.

In Lunalith, carriages passed by frequently, some carrying goods and others transporting people. The city was already alive, with the sun fully risen.

"Whistle!"

Oasis called out to a passing carriage.

"Oi, lad, where are you going?" the man sitting on the carriage, mounted on two horses, asked.

"Pecunia Merchant Association," Oasis replied.

"Get in," the man said.

Oasis got in the carriage and instructed the man to drive a bit slower so he could see the city.

The carriage moved smoothly and slowly through the bustling streets towards Oasis's destination.

As they moved, Oasis observed the city in detail.

The streets were clean, the buildings well-maintained, and the people going about their business with purpose.

The city guards were vigilant, ensuring everything was in order.

The vibrant market stalls displayed a variety of goods, from colorful fabrics to exotic fruits, and the chatter of merchants and customers created a lively atmosphere.

After about 30 minutes, they reached the Pecunia Merchant Association.

"This is your destination," the man said. "That will be 5 silver coins."

"Here," Oasis handed out 1 gold coin to the man and began moving toward the association's door.

"Lad, your change," the man called out.

Oasis politely told the man to keep it, and the man was grateful.

Oasis entered the association and was greeted by a well-arranged space filled with attendants and people.

Several tills were set up, with different attendants for those who were selling and those who were buying.

He waited in line for a few moments before it was his turn.

As his turn arrived, Oasis went to the till and exchanged greetings with the young lady assisting him.

He told her he wanted to sell some items, starting by showing her the claws of a B-rank salamander. 

"Young master, I'm sorry, I cannot process this transaction. Please wait here while I speak with the branch leader," the lady said, heading upstairs to speak with the leader.

After a few minutes, she returned.

"This way, young master," she escorted Oasis upstairs.

The other attendants looked on with envy, knowing that going upstairs with a customer meant he was a big deal.

Oasis was escorted to the branch leader's office.

"Welcome, young master Oasis," the leader greeted him, offering a comfortable seat across a large table, with the lady standing by like a guard.

The leader sat on the other side of the table, and the lady stood by as part of the rules since Oasis was her customer.

"Oh, you know me, sir?" Oasis asked.

"Yes, yes, I was at the banquet last night," the man replied.

"I am Malic Pecunia."

"Nice to meet you, Sir Pecunia," Oasis responded respectfully.

The lady was curious and surprised at Malic's courteous manner, as she knew him to be a strict, profit-oriented merchant.

"Let's get straight to business, young master," Malic said, without wasting time on trivialities.

At this point, Oasis was calm, to the extent that Malic, a renowned merchant who had made the branch flourish over the years, felt nervous

Oasis calmly placed the claws, skin, eyes, heart, and bones of the salamander on the large table, filling it with rare merchandise.

Both Malic and the lady were shocked. 

"This is a rare commodity," Malic exclaimed, losing his composure.

"And a B-rank at that," he said, scanning the items with his spiritual energy.

"It really is a Magma-salamander, and it was about to evolve into a B+ mystic beast," he thought.

"How did he get this? How strong is this kid?"

"Everything for 100k gold coins," Malic spoke without hesitation, recognizing the value of the items.

"That's a huge amount," the lady thought. "If I got that, I would just retire, start a family, and buy land."

"Usually, this would cost about 80k gold coins, but this kid might be my biggest customer even in the future," Malic thought.

"I can sell this at auction for even more."

Oasis nodded in agreement, and the lady was instructed to put the items away in her storage bracelet.

They continued with other transactions, with Oasis selling most of the artifacts he got from Tír na nÓg, other mystic beast parts, including beast cores, and herbs.

After selling everything, he had gained about 170k gold coins from the association.

He then exchanged 70k gold coins for high-grade mana stones, purchasing 20k each for wind, water, and earth affinities, and 10k regular high-grade mana stones.
