Chapter 69: Old Qian, Dumbstruck

"System, how long until I can advance to an Advanced Martial Artist?"

Sitting on the ground, Su Lang immediately asked, "And how long will it take for the Thunder Silk True Art to reach Minor Achievement level? How long until the dead Clone reforms?"

"host, you only need 8 hours to advance to an Advanced Martial Artist!

"The Thunder Silk True Art only needs 7 hours to complete its advancement!

"The deceased Clone will require 16 more hours to reform!"

The System faithfully reported all the information.

"The time isn't particularly long, but it's not exactly short either…"

Su Lang pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on his gold coin balance — 51,321 coins.

"Still short by nearly fifty thousand gold coins to upgrade the Clone Dispatch Function."

Su Lang contemplated, "If I sell the Materials stored in the Storage Space, it should be enough."

Ever since his last transaction with Old Qian of Hidden Treasure Pavilion, he hadn't sold any of the Materials he obtained afterward.

By now, the Materials inside the Storage Space had piled up into a small mountain!

"To sell these Materials, I need to make some preparations."

Su Lang dispatched a Clone in front of him, changed its outfit to a different disguise, also concealing its face.

Immediately after, he dispatched this Clone into the city.

In Red Maple City, within a dilapidated, seldom-visited alley, a figure clad in a white robe and cloak gradually materialized.

This figure was none other than Su Langs Clone!

The White-Robed Cloaked Figure surveyed the surroundings, then left the alley.

He first went to the slums, and only then did he proceed to the city tower hall.

At this moment, under the Ye family's intervention, the security at the city tower hall was extremely tight. Everyone had to pass through multiple layers of inspection to enter or leave the barrier.

"A pity, but what use is such strict inspection?"

Witnessing this scene, Su Lang couldn't help but reveal a trace of mockery, "Even if you had a hundred heads to think with, you'd never imagine I could directly dispatch a Clone into the city!"

With a hint of disdain, Su Lang directed his Clone to swagger into the city tower hall and found Old Qian of Hidden Treasure Pavilion.

"Hello, looking to sell goods?"

Old Qian glanced at Su Langs Clone but did not inquire about his identity.

Their Hidden Treasure Pavilion only ever conducted business, asking nothing else!

It was precisely this aspect that Su Lang valued, which was why he had sought them out again.

"The goods… are many."

Su Langs Clone nodded, then turned and left. Old Qian hurriedly followed.

The two of them, one after the other, arrived at the slums within the city.

Su Lang had already purchased a house here and placed all the Materials he intended to sell inside.

"Inside."

Su Langs Clone spoke brief words as he opened the main door.

"What? This many!?"

Upon seeing the mountain of Materials piled inside the room, Old Qian was instantly shocked speechless, his eyes wide with astonishment.

He had been in the business of purchasing Materials for a long time, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a massive quantity!

"Gulp!"

Old Qian swallowed a mouthful of saliva in excitement. With so many Materials, his commission would undoubtedly be an enormous sum!

He couldn't help but take another look at Su Langs Clone, asking respectfully, "You must be the leader of a certain hunting group, right!?"

"Correct. Give me an estimate."

Su Langs Clone said casually.

"Alright!!"

Old Qian nodded excitedly, "But there are far too many items here. I need to call for help to take inventory!"

"Go ahead."

Su Langs Clone remained as sparing with words as ever.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go right away!"

Old Qian cupped his hands in a salute and left as if flying.

Not long after, Old Qian, sweating profusely, returned to the slums with four other people.

Without wasting words, everyone immediately began taking inventory of the Materials.

After more than half an hour, they finally finished counting all the Materials.

"Esteemed guest, the total value of your Materials is 55,456 gold coins. This has reached the threshold to become a Silver VIP of our Hidden Treasure Pavilion!

Originally, we purchase at 80% of the value, but once you become our Silver VIP, we will purchase at 90% of the value!

Thus, we need to pay you 49,910 gold coins. Let's round it up to an even 50,000 gold coins!

This is our Hidden Treasure Pavilion's Silver VIP Card. Activate it with your Spiritual Qi, and it will automatically bind to you as its master!

Once you become our VIP, not only will you enjoy the 90% purchase price, but you will also have priority purchasing rights in all Hidden Treasure Pavilion shops!"

As he spoke, Old Qian took a silver VIP card from his bosom and handed it to Su Lang.

He only had this one membership card, and he had never imagined he would be able to issue it to someone.
