Chapter 485 10.000 sect points
Naturally, the reason why the young man behind the counter was slightly shocked, was because disciples would only try to buy top-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills' from the Golden Treasures Hall and wouldn't try to sell them instead.
After all, which disciple didn't need to replenish their qi when they run out and they were in a dangerous situation?
And yet, although he had already identified the pill in front of him, the young man still took out a silver dagger and carefully shaved off a small part of the pill to verify its effects. After making sure that it was indeed a genuine top-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pill', he turned his attention towards Shun Long in front of him before he said with that same professional smile on his face
''Young master, if you are willing, the Golden Treasures Hall can purchase your top-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills' for 20 sect points per pill. For this entire bottle of top-grade 'Qi replenishing pills' you can get a total of 200 sect points right away.''
Afraid that Shun Long would misunderstand, the young man behind the counter then continued
''Normally, the Golden Treasures Hall will not purchase low or middle-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills', but it can purchase high or top-grade ones for 5 or 20 sect points per pill respectively, depending on the pill's quality.''
Nodding his head, Shun Long understood that this was indeed normal.
He had already seen earlier that a single bottle of high-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills' was being sold for 80 sect points, which meant that the Golden Treasures Hall would only make a 30 sect point profit if they bought 10 high-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills' for 5 sect points each.
As for top-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills', each of them were being sold for 30 sect points each, while a single bottle of 10 pills could be purchased for 300 sect points.
Thus, buying Shun Long's pills for 200 sect points would net the Golden Treasures Hall with 100 sect points profit.
Naturally, if Shun Long wanted to, he could also set up a stall and sell his pills outside the Golden Treasures Hall just like many other disciples did, and he could probably make even more sect points that way, but considering that he didn't have any followers nor was he planning to accept any of them, he would have to wait for a long time as he sat behind his stall until he completely sold off all of his pills.
At the same time, there were some pills that many outer disciples may have not even heard of before, let alone seen them, so selling them at the Golden Treasures Hall would undoubtedly be less time consuming and more beneficial in the end.
Waving his hand, Shun Long then took out 50 more pill bottles from the 'Stone of Time' and placed them on the counter in front of him all at once, causing the young man behind the counter to involuntarily tremble.
The young man behind the counter stared at the 50 pill bottles with eyes filled with disbelief, before he looked back at Shun Long and asked in an incredulous tone
''Young master, are these all top-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills'? Do you really wish to sell all of them?''
Of course, it was normal for the young man behind the counter to be shocked by this sight in front of him.
After all, a single disciple would usually sell a few pill bottles at most if they were in urgent need of sect points, otherwise they would usually keep the pills for their own consumption.
Even those disciples who were also powerful alchemists wouldn't sell 50 pill bottles filled with top-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills' all at once in the Golden Treasures Hall. And even if they did, this young man in front of Shun Long wasn't usually qualified to even come in contact with them, so he wouldn't know the specifics either!
Nodding his head, Shun Long allowed the young man to test a single random pill from each bottle to verify the pills' effects, before the young man raised his head and stared at Shun Long once again, as he continued with a somewhat anxious tone, almost afraid that Shun Long would reject him
''Young master, our Golden Treasures Hall will definitely be willing to purchase these pills for 10.000 sect points if you really intend to sell them, but unfortunately I am not qualified to authorize such a purchase. I will have to trouble you to come with me and go meet senior Wan Zu! This will definitely be beneficial for young master as well if you have more pills that you want to sell in the future!''
After thinking about it for a moment, Shun Long nodded his head and simply said
''Alright'' before he and Liu Mei both followed after the young man in front of them who didn't hesitate to leave the counter to the other young man and the young woman behind it, as he led Shun Long and Liu Mei towards a private room not too far away from them.
As they arrived in front of the door of the private room, the young man looked at Shun Long and Liu Mei and cupped his hands before saying
''Please give me a moment to inform senior Wan Zu.''
Liu Mei didn't pay much attention to the excited young man who hurriedly opened the door of the private room and entered inside before closing it again, and instead, she looked at Shun Long with a bright gaze before asking curiously in a low voice
''Long-ge, is there something special about that guqin?''
Shun Long's lips formed a brilliant smile when he heard this, and staring at the curious Liu Mei by his side, he then said calmly
''Although that guqin isn't a weapon and is just a musical instrument, it can definitely be considered a treasure even among peak rank 3 gold grade weapons.''
