Chapter 1733: Still a Poor Man

The staff member collected 100,000 gold coins and quickly handed over a dark green identity牌.

Ye Bufan had recently accumulated nearly 2 million gold coins, both inside and outside, and thought he was rich, but now that he had spent 100,000 just to enter, he suddenly felt that he was still poor.

No matter what, he finally obtained the qualification to enter the Jubao Pavilion. He took the identity牌 and came to the door again. After verification, the guards directly let him pass.

When he walked into the Jubao Pavilion, a beautiful female attendant immediately greeted him.

"Honored guest, I am your dedicated attendant. Feel free to find me if you need anything."

Ye Bufan nodded slightly. It seemed that these 100,000 gold coins were not spent in vain; he was indeed receiving special treatment.

At the same time, he secretly praised the Jubao Pavilion's operator for being quite shrewd. This business model already had the shadow of modern business on Earth.

Led by the female attendant, he officially entered the shopping hall. There weren't many people here, only occasionally seeing two or three.

However, it was understandable. This was a high-end consumption venue in the entire Kunlun Continent, and the 100,000 gold coin entrance fee alone had already blocked most people outside.

He looked around and found that the main goods here were divided into several categories: weapons, Medicinal Pills, and Martial Skill Cultivation Techniques.

This was also normal to consider. This was the Kunlun Continent where Martial Dao was revered. Things like antiques and calligraphy were useless here and completely worthless.

He stepped to a transparent display cabinet, which was a Restriction completely set up by a Formation. The items inside were clearly visible, but could not be taken out without permission, which also showed the strength of Jubao Pavilion.

Inside was an ancient scroll, with a label next to it that read "Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Palm, Profound Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique, priced at 2 million gold coins."

"Uh…"

Through his recent understanding, Ye Bufan already had a preliminary grasp of the Cultivation Techniques on this continent. Martial Skills were divided into four Ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

The Legacy he had previously obtained from the Dragon King Palace, such as Teleportation, Hanbing Palm, Blazing Palm, Shadowless Divine Fist, and so on, could all reach Earth Rank products, and the Eye of Lihuo could even touch Heaven Rank Low Grade.

But what surprised him was that a Profound Rank Low Grade Martial Skill could actually sell for so much money—2 million gold coins—which already exceeded all his current net worth.

Then he looked at a few weapons next to him: an ordinary treasured sword for 1.5 million gold coins, a knife for 2.6 million gold coins, a long spear for 5 million gold coins…

When he saw these prices, Ye Bufan's heart completely collapsed. At such an exorbitant price, what the hell could he buy? He probably couldn't even afford the cheapest item here.

At this moment, the sweet voice of the female attendant sounded next to him: "Honored guest, what would you like to purchase? I can help you find it."

Ye Bufan swallowed hard, trying to appear calm.

"I'd like to look at your Medicinal Materials here."

"Certainly, honored guest. We have all kinds of rare Medicinal Materials from the entire Kunlun Continent. Please follow me."

After the female attendant finished speaking, she led him directly to the second floor. Upon entering, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air. On the left were various rare Medicinal Materials, and on the right were various prepared Medicinal Pills.

When he saw these Medicinal Materials, Ye Bufan's eyes lit up. The Medicinal Materials here were at least a hundred years old. Rare Medicinal Materials that were hard to come by on ordinary days could be found casually here.

However, the price was truly shocking. A small, ordinary piece of Fire Spirit Wood was actually priced at 2 million gold coins.

Not to mention that he hadn't seen seven star grass and hongyuan fruit yet, even if he did, the price would probably be beyond his affordability.

As for taking the Medicinal Materials here by other means, it was simply out of the question. These Restrictions were extremely powerful, and it was impossible to break them silently.

Moreover, when he entered, he vaguely felt a powerful sense of pressure, indicating that the Jubao Pavilion definitely had strong cultivators overseeing it.

With his current Golden Core Stage cultivation, if he were to be discovered, he would probably be instantly annihilated.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath. It seemed he still needed to find a way to make money quickly.

Then he looked at the Medicinal Pills on the right. A healing Medicinal Pill, ordinary in appearance, without even a Pill Mark. This kind of Medicinal Pill was actually priced at 3 million gold coins!

Although there were Restrictions present, he could still sense that this kind of Medicinal Pill was simply not as good as the ones he refined. Its Rank was far too inferior, and its medicinal effects were completely incomparable.

He couldn't help but ask, "Isn't your Medicinal Pill a bit too expensive?"

"Honored guest, our Jubao Pavilion's goods are already very affordable. You should know that this kind of healing holy medicine can save a life at a critical moment. 3 million gold coins is not expensive at all."

Cheap, not expensive. Ye Bufan's heart was in disarray. His entire net worth was only a little over 1 million gold coins, and this broken medicine here sold for 3 million, and you say it's not expensive? Why don't you just rob people?

Suddenly, a thought struck him. Didn't that mean his Medicinal Pills could sell for an even better price?

Currently, his Storage Ring still contained many previously stored Medicinal Pills, which were of a much higher Rank than those here. If he sold them, he could immediately raise a large sum of funds to buy what he wanted.

Money! He must make more money now!

Otherwise, if the items here could all sell for millions, wouldn't the upcoming auction sell for sky-high prices? How could he, a poor guy, afford to buy anything?

Thinking of this, he looked at the female attendant: "I want to see your boss!"

The female attendant shook her head: "I'm sorry, honored guest, our big boss doesn't meet guests casually. If you have any questions, I can help you contact the steward here."

"That works too."

Ye Bufan nodded. The most urgent task was to sell Medicinal Pills to make money and earn his respect, so that the other party would help him.

"Please wait a moment."

The female attendant finished speaking, turned and left, and soon returned with a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties.

The middle-aged man's attitude was very polite: "Honored guest, I am Fu Haishan, the steward of Jubao Pavilion. May I ask if there's anything you're dissatisfied with?"

Ye Bufan said, "Steward Fu Haishan, Jubao Pavilion is good. I want to cooperate with you. I have some Medicinal Pills I want to sell. Do you accept them or not?"

Fu Haishan said, "We certainly accept Medicinal Pills, but they must be of sufficient Rank."

"Do you think this is acceptable?"

Ye Bufan said, flipping his wrist, and a Marrow Cleansing Pill appeared in his palm.

At first, Fu Haishan didn't care, completely adopting a perfunctory attitude.

In his opinion, the entire Kunlun Continent was severely lacking in alchemists. How could a Young man in his twenties possibly have a High Grade Medicinal Pill?

But when the Marrow Cleansing Pill appeared before him, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted over, and then he saw the golden Pill Marks glowing on it, immediately widening his mouth in surprise.

"My goodness, this is actually a High Grade Medicinal Pill."

In the Kunlun Continent, Medicinal Pills were divided into Ranks. An important sign of being a High Grade Medicinal Pill was having Pill Marks.

And the Pill Marks on this Marrow Cleansing Pill were clear, obviously the best of the High Grade.

Fu Haishan asked in surprise, "Little brother, where did you get this Medicinal Pill?"
