Chapter 480: Seaside Auction House
These herbs are not magical herbs. If they are planted in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, they will mature in half a year. Therefore, Qi Tian does not feel bad about selling these herbs.
Rick took out a pair of glasses from his arms and looked at the three herbs carefully.
"Sir, I can feel that these three treasures are helpful to the soul master's cultivation, but I don't know the types of these three herbs. I can say responsibly that before today, no similar herbs have appeared in the entire Binhai City."
Hearing this, Qi Tian was not surprised.
After all, the types of medicinal herbs on Douluo Continent may not be available on Sun-Moon Continent.
He smiled faintly and said, "As long as it really works, why should Mr. Rick care about the types of herbs? The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. I think even Mr. Rick may not be able to recognize every plant and tree on the continent."
Rick nodded in agreement, "Sir, what you said makes sense. From what I just sensed, this item does have the effect of increasing the speed of cultivation. Sir, do you want to pawn it, or sell it directly to a pawnshop, or keep it here for sale?"
The third way can undoubtedly earn more, but the cycle is relatively longer. Qi Tian does not plan to stay in Binhai City for long, obviously time does not allow it.
The first method would earn you less money, but you could redeem the herbs in the future if you had the chance. However, herbs were consumables, and there was no shortage of them in the sect, so there was no need to redeem them.
"Sell it directly to the pawn shop. You name a price."
Rick nodded, and immediately took out a manual from his soul guide and recorded the three herbs in the book.
"Sir, I am willing to pay you 50,000 gold coins, what do you think?"
The Sun and Moon Continent uses gold coins instead of gold soul coins. The value of the currency is from low to high, namely copper coins, silver coins and gold coins. The exchange rate between each currency is similar to that of Douluo Continent, and the purchasing power is roughly the same.
These three medicinal herbs are only worth 10,000 gold coins at most on the Douluo Continent. Unexpectedly, their value has doubled on the Sun and Moon Continent.
"Of course. However, we were able to find your pawnshop because Master Tu Yu informed us."
Of course Qi Tian wanted to make some profits for Tu Yu. After Rick said the price, he mentioned Tu Yu's name, and he believed that the other party would not dare to lower the price again.
After hearing the name, Rick felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
Tu Yu often had people come to his shop to sell items and earn kickbacks from them. If Qi Tian had said the other party's name earlier, he would have definitely lowered the price. Now, he can only earn less.
Of course, he would rather earn less than admit the fact that Yu Tu Yu was colluding with each other.
Rick informed the shop assistant and immediately presented 50,000 gold soul coins to Qi Tian.
"Sir, please have a look."
Qi Tian waved his hand and transferred all the gold soul coins into the soul guide. "No need. I believe in your character."
With his mental power, he could tell at a glance that the number of gold coins was just right.
Rick smiled and said, "By the way, sir, there will be a large-scale auction at the Binhai City Auction House tonight. Why don't you go and take a look?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Qi Tian to speak, he handed an invitation to the other party.
After leaving the pawn shop, Dugu Yan couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that the cultivation resources for soul masters on this continent could be sold at such a high price."
The cultivation resources Qi Tian provided were most suitable for Soul Saint cultivation.
On the Douluo Continent, although Soul Saints can be called strong, their number is very large.
According to Qi Tian's speculation, the number of Soul Saints on the Sun Moon Continent would be much smaller. Correspondingly, the status of Soul Saints would be higher than that of Soul Saints on the Douluo Continent.
The higher the social status, the more social resources one occupies. Therefore, the price of items used by Soul Saints also rises accordingly. This is the basic law of the market.
Duguyan knew very little about business matters, so how could she understand Qi Tian's words? She simply changed the subject: "Should we go to the auction house?"
Qi Tian nodded: "Why not? We have just arrived in this continent, and there are many things that are still unclear. Let's go to the auction house first to see the situation, maybe we can get something."
The location of the Binhai City Auction House is not difficult to find, but if you want to enter, you must have an invitation.
The way to obtain invitations is that most of the owners of the major high-consumption places in the city personally deliver them to powerful customers. Qi Tian received 50,000 gold coins in one go, which has met the conditions for entering the auction.
Entering the auction house, Qi Tian didn't think that the 50,000 gold coins in his hand would be enough to buy the item he wanted.
After thinking about it, he came to the treasure appraisal room under the guidance of the staff.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the treasure appraisal room. When he saw Qi Tian and the other two people coming, he greeted them enthusiastically, "Sir, ladies, do you have any items that need appraisal?"
The rules are the same as those of the auction house on Douluo Continent.
Qi Tian searched in the soul guide for a long time and finally took out a secret book.
This was the Nine Secrets of Haotian that he had seized from Tang Hao. In Douluo Continent, it was a forbidden book, and no individual or force dared to touch it, for fear of being visited by the strong men of the Haotian Sect.
But in the Sun and Moon Continent, this is a self-created soul skill secret book that has never been published.
The Nine Art of Clear Sky is not only applicable to hammer-type martial spirits, but also to some heavy blunt weapon martial spirits.
"Sir, are you really willing to sell this self-created soul skill secret book?" The treasure appraiser pushed his glasses and said excitedly.
In the Sun and Moon Continent, there are many inheritances about soul guides, but very few about soul masters. This secret book is a priceless treasure.
After receiving a positive answer, the treasure appraiser asked again: "Sir, I need to know the origin of this secret book to ensure that the auction house will not get into any trouble."
Qi Tian said nonchalantly: "I got this from a relic on an island somewhere. If you are worried about it, I can choose not to sell it. Of course, I can also take it to any high-end property and organize an auction on my own."
Of course, he would not have any psychological burden in selling the heirloom of Haotian Sect.
The treasure appraiser left for a moment, and when he returned, he hurriedly took the secret book of the Nine Secrets of Haotian from Qi Tian.
"Sir, we are willing to help sell it, and we can sell it as the finale of tonight's auction. We will not charge any handling fees for the final profit. However, we have a request."
The secret manual is a lucrative business. Qi Tian can easily make countless copies of it, and the auction house won’t be able to do anything about it.
They only hope that Qi Tian will not sell the rubbings of the secret book again in Binhai City in the next year.
Qi Tian wouldn't stay here for long and gladly accepted the auction house's proposal.
After all, the Haotian Jiu Jue he sold was just a copy. If he was short of money later, he could just go to an auction house in another city and sell another copy.
