Chapter 90: Spirit Karma House

Chapter 90: Spirit Karma House

As a Peak that bordered Mingxin Peak, Passing Sin Peak occupied a beneficial location. Granted that there were several Spirit Masters who quietly cultivated on Mingxin Peak all year round, the people of Passing Sin Peak could occasionally purchase the Magic Treasures that these Spirit Masters would occasionally refine in their leisure time.

Xu Disheng and Bai Zhehua passed below the massive arch and entered the marketplace on Passing Sin Peak. Several disciples in black clothes came forward and cupped their hands in greeting. “To enter the market, each person must pay the fee of 3 spirit stones.”

Compared to the marketplace on Canxia Peak, the rules on Passing Sin Peak were more strict. Whether they were coming in to buy items or rent a vendor’s booth to sell items, they all had to pay a certain amount of taxes in spirit stones. Also, all transactions that took place in the marketplace were under the protection of Passing Sin Peak.

In the shop area, there were tall rows of luxurious stores. There was another separate area especially for vendor booths where all the disciples set up their stands. Even though it was lively, it wasn’t messy. Everything was neat and in good order.

Bai Zhehua first handed over 6 spirit stones, then turned to Xu Disheng. “If the items you need to sell aren’t too precious, you can just choose any store at random. The prices that the stores offer when purchasing items are all more or less the same.”

Xu Disheng nodded and replied, “I got most of these things in the Mirror Ocean. Practically all of these items are from other disciples.”

Hearing him say that these items were from other disciples, Bai Zhehua stared blankly for a second. After a moment, he regained his senses and said with a smile, “Then this Spirit Karma House over here will be fine.” He pointed at a store that had a signboard with the words ‘Spirit Karma House’ inscribed on it.

There had long since been a clever disciple waiting by the entrance. Seeing the two of them stop in front of the store, a smile blossomed on his face as he greeted them, “Please come in, young sirs.”

He extended a hand, inviting them in with a cordial bow. contemporary romance

Bai Zhehua nodded and led the way into the Spirit Karma House.

Only after entering did he realize that the interior was like a completely different world. From the outside, the store didn’t look all that big. But upon entering, they were met with a breathtaking interior filled with elegant furnishings. There was a middle-aged man seated behind a table, sipping on tea.

“Are you two purchasing or selling?” the middle-aged man asked in a calm and unhurried manner, putting down his teacup.

“There are some storage pouches I would like to sell. Do you take those here?” Xu Disheng asked, looking at the middle-aged man.

“Oh? There were already many people who came before you to sell storage pouches right after the end of the first match,” the middle-aged man said nonchalantly. “Ordinary storage pouches, 8 spirit stones. Better ones can go for 12 spirit stones. Ordinary Spirit Tools, 30 spirit stones. Spirit Tools with seals, 70 spirit stones.”

Xu Disheng pondered for a moment, then tossed over a storage pouch.

Up until now, the middle-aged man’s expression had been calm and somewhat indifferent. But after receiving the storage pouch, his expression changed slightly. He looked up and met Xu Disheng’s gaze for the first time. “These are all…?”

He wasn’t making a fuss over nothing. After all, with just a rough sweep through it, he found that there were 50 to 60 storage pouches lined up densely within!

Xu Disheng slightly nodded and asked, “Will you be able to manage, owner?”

The middle-aged man shook his head and responded, “Young sir, you’re looking down too much on my Spirit Karma House. These things aren’t worth a whole lot. I was just surprised that despite being at the early Sea of Qi stage in the first match, you could actually…” He stopped there and tossed the storage pouch over to a nearby disciple. “Inspect the contents and report back to me.”

“Yes, Lord Deacon.” The disciple said, bringing the storage pouch back with him into the rear hall.

“Please sit, you two,” the middle-aged man said, taking a smooth sip of his spirit tea. “Zhou Chaoxian, bring these two sirs some tea.”

Earlier, people had come to sell storage pouches and their contents, but there were only around 10 to 20 people at most. Xu Disheng was only a trifling early Sea of Qi stage disciple. For him to be able to bring 50-60 storage pouches all at once, he had to be either selling them on behalf of someone else or had to have some backer supporting him. Either way, it was surprising to other people.

Bai Zhehua sat contentedly as he drank the spirit tea, which cost several spirit stones per cup.

Xu Disheng took out two spirit stones, and in a moment’s notice, he had already closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.

The middle-aged man had an indescribable look on his face upon seeing this. “Even though your items are really mixed, it should only take two incense sticks of time to finish making inventory of all of them. This is the first time I’ve seen someone take advantage of this short of a time to cultivate,” he mused.

Xu Disheng’s eyelashes twitched slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

Bai Zhehua laughed and said, “This Junior Martial Brother of mine is quite fond of cultivating. Last time we passed by the Ning’an Province, I wanted to bring him to go to a nice spot for a round of fun, but he was actually able to restrain himself.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up as he replied, “The Ning’an Province… I know that Xiao Weiyan of Falling Feather Peak had taken up post there as an Envoy, and I’ve heard a lot about the nice spot he has there. But this year I’m watching the shop on behalf of the House Master, so I haven’t had any opportunity to get away and make a visit.”

These two actually managed to strike up a conversation somehow.

After a while, a disciple came out from the rear hall. He approached respectfully and said, “Lord Deacon, there are 45 ordinary storage pouches and 9 storage pouches with slightly larger interspatial dimensions. There are also 17 ordinary Spirit Tools, 4 Spirit Tools with seals and 1 high-grade Spirit Tool.” He glanced hesitantly over at Xu Disheng, who still had his eyes closed, cultivating.

The middle-aged man seemed to know what he wanted to say. He smiled and said, “No problem, just keep speaking.”

The disciple continued, “In the 9 slightly larger storage pouches, there were a total of 432 spirit stones.”

Xu Disheng hadn’t gone through the storage pouches one by one since it was too much of a hassle.

He figured that with Passing Sin Peak’s marketplace’s reputation as the number 1 marketplace in Mingxin Mountain Range, they wouldn’t break anyone’s trust over a few spirit stones.

The middle-aged man nodded and asked, “According to our usual practices, how many spirit stones does it come out to in total?”

The disciple replied, “Excluding that high-grade Spirit Tool which doesn’t have any seals, it comes out to 1,690 spirit stones in total.”

“Young sirs, did you want to sell that high-grade Spirit Tool? If you want to sell it, we’ll count it as 200 spirit stones,” the middle-aged man asked, turning towards them.

Bai Zhehua was holding onto his teacup, dumbstruck.

“Junior Martial Brother Xu…” Bai Zhehua started, turning to look at Xu Disheng with a wry smile. Clearly, he had thought that Xu Disheng only managed to steal a few storage pouches, and that was it.

After all, Xu Disheng had only tossed a single storage pouch over to the middle-aged man earlier, and that middle-aged man hadn’t mentioned any specific numbers before handing it over to the disciple for inspection.

Xu Disheng nodded and said, “I’ll sell it off along with the rest. There’s no need to make inventory of the spirit stones for now. Do you have any Magic Treasures here at the Spirit Karma House?”

The smile on the middle-aged man’s face widened. He tossed over a fancy record jade slip, then turned to a disciple and said strictly, “Bring out the good tea for this valued customer of ours.”

With a strained smile on his face, Bai Zhehua said, “Junior Martial Brother Xu, you even want to buy a Magic Treasure? From the time that I entered the Peak until now… My father only agreed to give me an ordinary Magic Treasure after I entered the Dao Foundation stage…”

“In the main tournament, if I don’t have a Magic Treasure in hand, it’ll be difficult to reach the top 100, ” the youth replied with a sideways glance at Bai Zhehua, laying bare his goal in entering the tournament for the first time.

“The top 100?!”

“Top 100 in the tournament? At the early Sea of Qi stage?”

Bai Zhehua and the middle-aged man shouted out at the same time, completely astounded!

In this short period of half a day, Xu Disheng had given him one surprise after another. By this point, as the only son of a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse, even Bai Zhehua was only just starting to get used to it.
