1485 Replenishing Materials
While the three bigshots were talking in the skies above, Lin Mu was busy with some last minute shopping.
“I’d like two hundred mid grade Essence crystals as well as two thousand low grade essence crystals.” Lin Mu spoke to the clerk.
“Of course sir!” The clerk was a new one that Lin Mu hadn’t seen before, but the man was certainly excited after seeing a big spender.
He hurriedly brought the crystals that Lin Mu had requested and took the payment. It was certainly a big enough amount and the commission from it would be equal to several months of his income already.
After buying that, Lin Mu left the Vitality hall and went to the formation hall. They sold materials needed for formations as well as formations themselves. Upon reaching there, Lin Mu quicks went to one of the empty counters and called for the clerk.
“Welcome sir, what would you like to buy?” The clerk asked.
“I want to sell some talismans, as well as buy some materials.” Lin Mu replied.
“Oh talismans?” The clerk was intrigued. “Can I take a look?”
It wasn’t unusual for people to sell talismans here, but they needed to be of a certain standard to be bought. After all, the Grand Sky Pavilion didn’t need to buy talismans of low quality which could be made by any cultivator.
Why would the Grand Sky Pavilion spend extra in buying from other cultivators when they had several more that made these for themselves?
Thus the clerk couldn’t help but want to verify it first.
“Sure,” Lin Mu nodded his head and took out all the Diamond Mountain Talisman that he had made.
The clerk instantly recognized the talisman upon seeing them.
“Diamond mountain talismans? Minor to great grade?” the man quickly took a look through all the talismans.
It was a relatively easy task to verify the Diamond Mountain talisman and their authenticity since they were complex to make in the first place. If a Diamond Mountain talisman wasn’t stable, it wouldn’t be completed in the first place.
Thus the clerk only needed to observe a few runes and confirm that they truly were Diamond Mountain Talismans.
“Alright, I’ve confirmed it.” The clerk replied. “Would you like to sell them as it is to us or do you wish to auction them?” the man asked.
“Just selling them directly is fine.” Lin Mu replied.
He didn’t really care to get much value for the talismans right now, after all. While he could get a higher value in the auction, he would still need to wait. Rather than that, he may as well get them exchanged for things he needed right now.
“Alright, what would you like the payment in? Your crystal card or immortal stones?” The clerk asked next.
“Actually, I would like the value of the talismans to be given in materials instead.” Lin Mu answered.
“That is fine too.” The clerk nodded. “what would you like exchange?” he inquired.
“Talisman paper.” Lin Mu answered.
“Talisman paper? Just that?” The clerk appeared a bit confused.
“Yes, just that.” Lin Mu confirmed.
“Alright, sir.” The clerk accepted, even if he found it strange. ‘With the number of Diamond Mountain Talismans he’s sold, the talisman papers will be too many… what’s he even doing with so many?’ he wondered.
Talisman paper was a cheap and common material used in making Talismans. And while there were many versions of them, the one that Lin Mu was getting was the basic one. Even in the Xiaofan world, these would be relatively cheap, not to mention here.
The clerk first sent a message to the other workers to arrange the talisman papers and asked for Lin Mu to wait for a bit. About five minutes later, a worker brought a storage pouch over.
“Do you have a spatial storage tool for the Talisman papers, sir? Or would you like us to provide one?” The clerk asked. “They are quite a lot, after all.”
“It’s fine. I have one of my own.” Lin Mu replied.
“Very well.” The clerk nodded and handed the storage pouch to Lin Mu, who simply inverted it and stored all the contents into the ring.
Lin Mu then glanced at the talisman papers, estimating the number that he had gotten. The talisman papers were neatly packed into blocks of one thousand sheets, which were then stacked together.
Inside the ring, several hills of such stacked talisman papers could be seen. It was hard to estimate how many of them were there, but it was enough that Lin Mu wouldn’t have to worry about them for a long time.
Feeling satisfied with this, Lin Mu spoke, “everything seems to be in order.”
“Would you like anything else, sir? We have other materials too, if you would like to take a look.” The clerk asked before showing Lin Mu a catalog that appeared in the form of a formation screen.
Lin Mu decided to take a look just in case and quickly went through it. There were easily over a million materials on sale and if it weren’t for Lin Mu having Immortal sense, it might have taken quite a long time to read it all.
‘There are some new things I should get and some that I’m running out of.’ Lin Mu thought.
“I’ll take a few things then.” Lin Mu listed out what he needed.
“I’ll bring them right away.” The clerk went to get the materials himself this time.
After all, previously the amount of Talisman papers that Lin Mu had asked for was simply massive. So much so that it wasn’t even kept in the nearby storage. This was why the clerk had to ask another worker to get it from the bulk storage.
But for normal materials, there was no such need. The Clerk simply walked through the door on the back and returned after two minutes.
“Here you go, sir.” The clerk handed another storage pouch that Lin Mu emptied into his ring.
He then made the payment and went to the Alchemy hall.
