The Profound Element Heavy Magnet is a three-tier material, known for its dense and hard texture. While it may appear to weigh a thousand catties, in reality, it's only the size of a fist.
During the process of refining a tool, incorporating this material into a magic weapon can enhance its hardness and weight.
Wang Hong had a sizable number of warriors under his command, all possessing formidable strength. Naturally, their weapons needed to carry some weight to fully leverage their advantages.
However, Wang Hong had previously raided many Demon Clan lairs, but had obtained limited suitable materials for his warriors' weapons. Therefore, the weapons of his followers were not particularly well-suited.
This Profound Element Heavy Magnet happened to meet the warriors' requirements. If there were enough of it, it could upgrade the weapons of all his third-tier warriors.
"I need ten million catties of it. Do you have such a quantity in stock?" Wang Hong inquired.
Even though the servant girl had undergone rigorous training, the amount Wang Hong mentioned left her stunned, her mind buzzing.
However, she quickly regained her composure and smiled, saying, "Of course, we do! Our establishment has sources all over the world."
She understood that someone who could buy this much of the same material at once must be a representative of some influential power. Taking care of such a major customer could generate a continuous stream of value.
Because individuals like this were backed by a faction with abundant resources, they made bulk purchases.
"Excellent! However, if I were to offset the cost with other spiritual objects, would that be acceptable?" Wang Hong, as a monarch, found himself somewhat short on funds at the moment. Ten million catties would require ten thousand pieces of high-grade Spirit Stone. He did have over a dozen pieces of top-grade Spirit Stone, acquired through looting, but using them to purchase third-tier materials seemed a bit wasteful.
"That can certainly be arranged. However, if you choose to use spiritual objects, we will charge a ten percent handling fee. May I ask what you intend to use as compensation?" The servant girl explained.
Ten thousand pieces of high-grade Spirit Stone were a massive sum, not something ordinary spiritual objects could offset.
"In my leisure time, I've refined some pills. You can have your appraiser examine them to see if they are suitable for compensation," Wang Hong said as he took out a jade vial and handed it to the servant girl.
The servant girl received the vial with some confusion. She couldn't fathom how a vial of pills could be worth ten thousand pieces of high-grade Spirit Stone.
After taking the vial, she opened it and examined its contents. She didn't recognize the pills inside, but she didn't dare to take such a valuable item for appraisal on her own. If anything went wrong, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
"Please follow me, honored guest," the servant girl said.
After leading Wang Hong to a private room, she left and returned a while later with an old man.
"Esteemed Daoist, I'm Wei Shixing, the appraiser of this establishment. I've heard that you possess a pill worth ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones that requires identification?" The old man greeted Wang Hong with a slight bow and got straight to the point.
"That is indeed the pill. Please, Daoist Wei, examine it," Wang Hong said as he handed the pill to Wei Shixing.
Wei Shixing took the vial from Wang Hong and poured out one of the pills.
"Ah! It's a fourth-tier pill!" Wei Shixing exclaimed after just a glance, demonstrating his extensive appraisal experience.
Although the Fengwu Continent was more prosperous than the Hezhou mainland, fourth-tier pills were still quite rare.
"You have a keen eye, Daoist," Wang Hong praised, unable to contain his admiration.
"You flatter me, Daoist."
Wei Shixing carefully examined the pill once more, a new variety he had never seen before. After completing various identification methods, Wei Shixing solemnly placed the pill back in its vial and looked at Wang Hong with a grave expression.
"Are all these pills refined by Fellow Daoist?" Wei Shixing asked.
"Yes, I am the one who refined them. Is there any issue?" Wang Hong inquired.
"Not at all. It's just that I've never seen this type of pill before. Moreover, the alchemy technique used is exceptionally advanced. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to be such a skilled fourth-tier alchemist," Wei Shixing said, waving his hand.
Although the Fengwu Continent was prosperous, there were not many fourth-tier alchemists. They were rare, and any fourth-tier alchemist was highly sought after.
Before Wang Hong could modestly respond, Wei Shixing continued, "In the vial, there are a total of ten pills, indeed worth ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones. I'll make the decision to waive the handling fee for Fellow Daoist."
Wei Shixing made this decision for two reasons: first, to recruit a fourth-tier alchemist, and second, because these fourth-tier pills would likely not be resold, eliminating sales costs.
"Thank you, Daoist," Wang Hong replied.
After a brief absence, the servant girl returned with a Storage Bag filled with Profound Element Heavy Magnet.
"Sir, there are ten million catties of Profound Element Heavy Magnet inside. Please verify."
Wang Hong confirmed the contents, and at this point, the servant girl handed him a jade token.
"Sir, this is a VIP status token from our establishment. It was given to me by the shopkeeper, who is currently unavailable within the shop to personally attend to you, expressing his regret."
Upon closer inspection, Wang Hong discovered that the jade token was also a magic weapon with the ability to gather spiritual energy, providing some aid to cultivation.
"Thank you! I also wish to visit the fourth floor, if it's convenient?" Wang Hong inquired. After all, his current cultivation level was only at the Golden Core Stage, and they might not allow him access.
"With your VIP status, there should be no problem. However, please be aware that the fourth floor has limited fourth-tier materials, and you might be disappointed," the servant girl explained.
"It's fine; I just want to take a look and gain some insights," Wang Hong casually remarked. After all, fourth-tier spiritual objects were extremely rare on the Hezhou mainland, and it was unlikely this shop would have many.
He then followed the servant girl to the fourth floor, which was indeed quite empty. Only an old man sat behind the counter, meditating, and there wasn't a single customer in sight.
On the counter, there were a little over twenty spiritual objects, each with a plaque underneath detailing the object and its trading terms. These spiritual objects only accepted specific items in exchange.
Seemingly aware of Wang Hong's confusion, the servant girl explained, "These are items consigned by other patrons. The shop only charges a commission."
"Do you not fear that these fourth-tier spiritual objects will be targeted by other Nascent Soul Cultivators for robbery?" Wang Hong playfully tested, as he could sense that the old man was also at the Golden Core cultivation level and wouldn't be able to withstand Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"You jest, sir. Our establishment has dozens of Nascent Soul Cultivators, and there is also a Soul Transformation ancestor overseeing. Who would dare to provoke us?" the servant girl responded.
Wang Hong took a deep breath to calm himself. It was the first time he had heard of Soul Transformation cultivators and Soul Transformation forces, and he needed to compose himself.
