Volume 1 The First Entry into the Nine Realms Chapter 12 The Profiteer, the Profiteer

"Ahh......h With me, I'm sure I'll try to avoid getting you hurt..... Right...... Why waste that money...... Hehe......" Daifuku said perfunctorily.

"Okay, then let's take a look around first......" Yun Fan didn't pay much attention, so he began to look around in the trading house.

With so many guests coming and going, naturally no one would notice Yun Fan's figure.

The first floor of the commercial bank mainly sells auxiliary goods such as pills and runes. Since this type of goods are consumables, cultivators of all professions can use them, and they use them in large quantities, so this level also has the most customers.

Yun Fan only has 2,000 imperial tickets on his body, and how to use the money well is particularly important, so the first thing he pays attention to is the price and attributes of these goods.

The most placed pill column in the commercial house is the must-have for going out - hemostatic grass, which costs 50 imperial tickets.

However, with what Daifuku just said, although this hemostatic grass is cheap, Yun Fan has no intention of buying it.

The rune column displays a variety of spells and formations, but the five basic charms are also among the top in terms of volume.

Wind Charm - Wind Speed Charm, a support charm that can greatly increase the user's movement speed for a short period of time after use, and costs 600 imperial tickets.

Thunder Charm - Thunder Forbidden Charm, a restrictive charm that paralyzes the opponent's body to restrict its movement by hitting it after use, and costs 800 royal tickets.

Water Charm - Water Slow Charm, a restrictive charm that can create an area to slow down the opponent's movement speed after use, and costs 700 Imperial Tickets.

Fire Spell - Fire Charm, Offensive Spell, after use, by detonating the fire spell to cause powerful spell damage to the enemy, when detonated, the closer the spell is to the target, the more powerful it is, the price is 400 royal tickets.

Earth Charm - Earth Royal Talisman, a defensive charm, forms a layer of earth shield around itself after use, can withstand a certain degree of damage, and the charm becomes invalid when the tolerance threshold is reached, and the price is 500 imperial tickets.

After understanding the approximate prices and attributes of these elixirs and charms, Yun Fan planned to go to the second floor to have a look.

Because the rest of the goods were either useless to him or the price was beyond his affordability, Yun Fan glanced at it hastily and walked towards the second floor.

"How many Heavenly Gold Coins do you have on you now?" Yun Fan, who was about to go to the second floor, suddenly heard Daifuku ask.

"I have 2,000 royal tickets on me now, and I will set aside 100 imperial tickets for a while, and I should have 1,900 imperial tickets to use. Yun Fan replied.

"Buy an Earth Talisman. Daifuku said directly after listening.

"Huh?" Yun Fan was very surprised why Dafu suddenly let him buy the Earth Imperial Talisman, so he replied: "Didn't we use this money to buy a contract scroll first......

"You don't have enough money to buy a contract scroll...... You'll see when you go upstairs...... Listen to me, buy an earth talisman first, it can save your life at a critical moment!" Daifuku said solemnly.

Listening to Daifuku's tone, it didn't seem like a joke, so Yun Fan didn't say anything more, turned around and went to the counter to buy an earth talisman.

The Earth Imperial Talisman felt very gentle, just a thin layer of rune paper, on which some complex patterns were engraved that Yun Fan couldn't understand at all.

The trigger method of the Earth Talisman is also different from other spells, no spells or mantras are required, you only need to hold this charm in the palm of your hand, and it will automatically trigger when you are attacked. It is the most convenient spell to use among the five basic spells.

After understanding the use of the earth talisman, Yun Fan couldn't help but wonder, such a small piece of paper actually has to sell 500 imperial tickets, is it really like what Daifuku said, can it be used to save lives at critical times?

Putting away the remaining 1,500 imperial tickets, Yun Fan walked towards the second floor.

Coming to the second floor of the Ali Trading House, there are significantly fewer people here than on the first floor, and the goods sold have also changed from consumable charms and elixirs to non-consumable goods such as weapons, magic weapons, books, utensils, and contract beasts.

All kinds of dazzling goods did not attract Yun Fan's attention, and after he came to the second floor, he immediately went straight to the sales area of the contract beast.

After glancing at the contract scroll actually asking for 4999 imperial tickets, Yun Fan fell into despair, no wonder Dafu said that he couldn't afford it at all......

Seeing the contract beasts in the cage and the price tag in front of them, Yun Fan was stunned again......

Steppenwolf, a beginner-level Warcraft, costs 20,000 royal tickets......

Wasteland Bear, a beginner-level Warcraft, costs 30,000 imperial tickets......

The Wasteland Lion, a beginner-level Warcraft, costs 50,000 imperial tickets......

......

The salary you can get for each city you go to is only 2,000 imperial tickets, and even if you don't eat or drink, you can't get 20,000 imperial tickets until you reach the tenth city.

And the lowest-level Steppenwolf, a contract beast, costs 20,000 royal votes, and this Steppenwolf can be killed by the members of the Steppenwolf Troupe casually, so what's the use of buying this garbage contract beast and becoming a beast trainer.

I want to buy a more powerful contract beast, but I don't know how much it will cost......

I wanted to be an animal trainer, but I found that this is really a money-burning profession......

"Although you are a little reluctant to buy some regular goods with the little money you have now, we may be able to find some other treasures, let's go!

There are five floors in the Ali Trading House in the Eight Cities, and in addition to the goods on the first two floors, everyone can buy them, and the remaining three floors need to be entered with tokens.

With the token in his hand, Yun Fan naturally came to the fifth layer.

An exclusive floor for the Beast Tamer!

The number of cultivators in this layer was far less than in the previous two layers, after all, among the cultivators, the number of animal tamers was already less than that of ascetics and magicians. Although cultivators will have one or more contract beasts to a greater or lesser extent, having a contract beast does not mean that they can become a beast tamer.

Therefore, in the fifth layer, there are no contract beasts for sale, but only some materials required for beast duels and strengthening contract beasts.

A qualified beast trainer must be able to exert the strength of his contract beast to the greatest strength, so this also requires the beast trainer to continuously cultivate and strengthen his contract beast in order to make the contract beast stronger and stronger.

Ordinary cultivators can only make the contract beast do basic commands, such as: attack, defense, protection, follow, standby, etc., and the beast tamer can make his contract beast use all kinds of powerful mastery after studying various beast duels, so as to exert several times the power.

After Yun Fan walked around the fifth floor, he saw that the prices of all the beasts and materials were not what he could afford now.

Even the price of some beasts has been as high as six figures, and I sighed again at the terrible price, Mao can't afford to buy it and talk about Taobao, or obediently go back to the inn to sleep.

"Wait a minute! Suddenly, Da Da spoke on the top of Yun Fan's head.

Yun Fan looked at it as he said, and there was indeed a somewhat dark counter. If it weren't for Daifuku's reminder, he wouldn't have noticed that there was still a counter in that corner.

Yun Fan approached, but found that this counter was very special, saying that this counter was special, not that there was anything strange about the counter itself, but that all the goods in this counter were not marked with prices.

Yun Fan picked up a copy of the beast decision casually, and did not indicate the price, but wrote a line of small characters on the cover:

"The art of soul robbery. ”

What kind of beast is this? Yun Fan was about to flip through it, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him.

"Oh, this young man, he really has good eyesight!~"

Hearing this, Yun Fan turned around and looked, only to see a slender black-robed old man talking to him behind him, only to see that this old man looked close to his prime, but the aura emanating from his body was not as old as his age.

A pair of slender eyes are very attentive, and extraordinarily bright, as if they can see all the feelings, and the whole person reveals a shrewdness.

"I've seen this senior, I don't know what the senior just said?" Yun Fan saluted the old man and asked.

"The old man's surname is Liu, and he is the shopkeeper of this beast trainer's exclusive floor. The black-robed old man said: "The young man can actually find this hidden counter in so many display cases, which shows that the young man is very close to my Ali firm!"

After that, the black-robed old man peeked at the great fortune on Yun Fan's head, and then looked at Yun Fan with a smile.

This old man surnamed Liu is the shopkeeper of the fifth floor of the Ali Commercial Bank in Bahe City, and he usually does not personally receive guests who come to this floor, but today he saw Yun Fan go upstairs and glanced at it a few times and walked directly to the counter.

With his eyesight in the Ali Trading House for decades, he could judge at a glance that this white kitten must not be an ordinary beast, and the animal trainer who can have this strange beast by his side must not be an ordinary person, so he took the initiative to ask.

Seeing the smile on the face of the black-robed old man, a hint of alarm suddenly rose in Yun Fan's heart.

The subtle movements of the old man surnamed Liu did not escape Yun Fan's eyes, the other party is the shopkeeper of Ali Trading House, and his identity is extremely noble, but he can be so polite to himself, probably because of Dafu, although he doesn't know what the real purpose of the other party is, but he can't take it lightly.

"I don't know what Senior Liu means by fate?" Yun Fan looked at the old man surnamed Liu and asked politely.

"Haha......" the old man surnamed Liu said with a smile, "This counter is the secret counter of this beast trainer's floor, and it is full of special treasures......

No wonder these goods are not marked with a price, and they all seem to be valuable treasures......

But why are these items so valuable, but not prominently sold?

Especially this beast book, which is obviously dusty......

"It turns out that these are the priceless treasures of the Ali Trading Company, and the junior has recklessly ......" Yun Fan doubted while putting the beast in his hand back on the display case.

"Eh~ Actually, it's not, as we all know, my Ali firm is a place where buying and selling. The old man surnamed Liu stood in front of the counter and said to Yun Fanyan:

"Normally, the merchant house first buys the seller's goods, and then puts them in the merchant house to sell, and when there is a purchase, there is a sale. But occasionally there are some special cases......"

The old man surnamed Liu paused and continued:

"There are some special commodities that the merchant house does not buy directly due to some unique reasons, but allows these goods to be sold in the merchant house first, and then part of the money is returned to the seller after the sale. And what is on display at this counter right now is these special products. ”

Sell it first and give it later?

This is obviously a commodity that can't be sold and thrown here to accumulate dust, and then wait for the unjust boss who doesn't know how to do it to be fooled!

Profiteers, full profiteers!
