Chapter 20: Ch 20: Selling & Buying

Emrys did not think much when he found no one around him. He felt that hearing a voice was just an illusion.

"How may I help you, sir?"

When Emrys approached a reception counter, the lady standing behind professionally greeted Emrys. She did not look down on him because of his young age and low cultivation. No matter who it is, even if it is a beggar, as long as they enter the Trade Association, they'll be treated equally. All of them will be respected customers of the Association.

"Umm... I would like to sell a few Soul Orbs!"

Since this was his first time, Emrys hesitated a little before speaking.

The receptionist nodded with a professional smile and guessed that Emrys must have hunted a few Ordinary Soul Beasts and come here to sell Ordinary White Soul Orbs. Trade Association was a force affiliated with the Federation. Countless people come to the Association and trade their hunted Soul Orbs for credits, after all, they could not refine and purify the Soul Orbs extracted from the corpse of Soul Beasts.

The receptionist explained, "An unprocessed Ordinary White Soul Orb can fetch you 10,000 Credits. As for an unprocessed Elite, Master, Epic, and Legendary Soul Orb, they can be sold for 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, and 50,000 Credits respectively."

By now, Emrys had already calmed down. He shook his head and spoke, "No. I mean, I'm not here to sell unprocessed Soul Orbs. The Soul Orbs in my hand are all processed. I don't have any use for them, and that's why I'm here!"

The receptionist raised her brows but did not think much. Although it is rare, there are always customers who come to sell their unused processed Soul Orbs as well. As for how they obtain those Soul Orbs, it has nothing to do with the Trade Association.

The receptionist nodded calmly and told Emrys to bring out the Soul Orbs so that she could check. At the same time, she again explained that Ordinary, Elite, Master, Epic, and Legendary White Soul Orbs can fetch him 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, 400,000, and 500,000 Credits respectively.

Emrys put down his backpack and took out twenty Ordinary White Soul Orbs one by one. He did not notice the receptionist's expression changing. She could not understand how this ordinary-looking young man was able to obtain so many Soul Orbs.

Frankly speaking, people normally kill each other in the dark, out of the population's sight, and rob them for treasures. There are many such cases recorded in the Federation's history. Obtaining a lot of Soul Orbs is not difficult for such people.

At first, she thought that Emrys might have obtained these Soul Orbs by killing people as well. However, it was not her place to judge anyone, so she did not speak anything and calmly started checking the Soul Orbs.

After a while, she opened her mouth, saying, "There are twenty Ordinary White Soul Orbs. They can be sold for Two Million Credits. Is there anything more you want to sell, sir?"

Emrys thought for a while and took out all the herbs he had gathered as well. The receptionist started doing her job and responded after a while.

"Since these herbs are all very ordinary, they can at most fetch you 100,000 Credits. Should we continue with the transaction?"

"Yes, please!"

At first, Emrys wanted to sell the Ordinary Green Soul Orb as well, but he thought of something and decided not to take it out.

He was not far from advancement. He'll need a Green Soul Orb after becoming a Bronze Soul Master.

Very soon, the receptionist asked for Emrys's account number. A few seconds later, his account reflected a total of 1,995,000 Credits.

Normally, he should have received 210,000 Credits.

Trade Association is famous for giving out the true value of a treasure. However, if this was truly the truth, they would not benefit from anything. Therefore, they also charge a 5% commission on the total transaction amount for items sold to the Association. This is how they profit from each transaction.

Emrys had been saving Credits for many years and had managed to save only 10,000 Credits. However, in just one transaction, he obtained close to two million Credits. The total amount in his account had already surpassed two million Credits by a small margin.

With his transaction complete, Emrys turned his attention to the treasures displayed on the walls. He moved closer as his eyes started scanning the array of treasures with curiosity.

The items displayed on this floor can be used by Silver and below-ranked Soul Masters.

What Emrys needed the most right now was a treasure that could help him advance to the Bronze Soul Master.

Although he was already at the peak of the Ninth Order and could advance at any time, he didn't know when this advancement would occur. Therefore, if he could receive a little push from a treasure, this advancement could be accelerated without any side effects.

He asked for help from an attendant there who brought him to the portion where the treasures that he needed the most right now were being displayed.

After looking for a while, he decided to buy a seed that was floating inside a transparent barrier.

This information about this seed was recorded in the display under it.

[Moonlit Lotus Seed: Found only under the light of a full moon, this seed contains potent Soul Force enhancing properties. It can be used to go beyond a Soul Master's previous limits. The Moonlit Lotus Seed can be used by Soul Masters below the Intermediate Bronze Level.

Credits - 1.8 Million.]

Emrys could not help but sigh. The price of this treasure was truly high for someone like him.

However, from a different perspective, the price of this treasure was quite fair. After all, it can be used by an Elementary Bronze Soul Master as well. With the help of this treasure, an Elementary Soul Master can easily advance to become an Intermediate Bronze Soul Master.

In the end, Emrys bought the Moonlit Lotus Seed with a bitter smile. The credits in his account instantly went down by 1.8 Million, leaving him with only around 200,000 Credits.
