Limitless Cultivation: I Can Master Every Profession!-Chapter 64: Unbelievable Price

Chapter 64: Unbelievable Price

.

It was Afternoon, and most of the classes at the academy had finally come to an end, leaving the students free at last.

In one of the academy classrooms, Liang Yuexin, who had just finished teaching her class, was getting ready to leave.

She had been an instructor at the academy for nearly two years now and had long since gotten used to it.

The things she taught were more or less the same every year, so her lessons were relatively calm and a bit monotonous.

It was rare for anything new to happen. Apart from teaching her subject and answering questions, she didn’t do much else.

She gathered her things and was about to leave, but stopped for a moment, her gaze drifting toward a corner of the classrom.

Her expression couldn’t help but tighten a little before she sighed and shook her head as she walked out.

’And here I was thinking he’d changed. Guess old habits die hard,’ she thought.

Naturally, the person she was talking about was none other than Zhu Rong, who finally got up when the bell rang to mark the end of class.

He rubbed his eyes a bit before finally standing up and heading toward the exit himself.

"Time sure flies when you’re asleep," he thought with a yawn as he walked out, not caring at all about the looks other students were still throwing his way.

Whether it was in this life or the one before, he’d always been on the receiving end of people’s stares.

Of course, this time they weren’t mocking ones, more like skeptical and surprised.

Clearly, the results of the semester end test were still a hot topic, especially when it came to his scores.

The whispers continued, but he didn’t bother with them and left the classroom.

It was the afternoon, and normally he would have gone to the Old Iron Shop, but he had taken the day off.

He had already bought all the materials yesterday, and today was finally the big day,

It was time to open for business.

***

At the Master Pavilion, the atmosphere was lively as usual, with countless people coming and going.

It was obvious that the pavilion continued to thrive day by day, with both regular and new clients coming in constantly.

This was mainly because most of the professionals in the pavilion worked there, and only a few who had a certain success would open shops outside.

Everyone else had their own working rooms in the pavilion, where they did business and created their products.

At that moment, a young man with an average appearance walked up to one of the counters and said,

"Hey, Old Liu. Looks like you’re full of work as usual," he said, addressing the old man behind the counter who was busy shifting some documents around.

Hearing the voice, the old man looked up, recognized him, and replied,

"Oh, if it isn’t little Yang. It’s been a while since you stopped by. So, tell me, how’s your cultivation going? Did you finally make your breakthrough?" he asked as he walked over, clearly quite familiar with the young man.

"I’m already 20 and you still call me little," the young man muttered. "Anyway, yeah, I finally broke through to the Qi Gathering stage."

As he spoke, he released a bit of his cultivation, just enough to let the other party sense his current level.

"Haha! Good, good. Keep it up and maybe you’ll impress a nice girl or two," the old man said with a laugh before continuing,

"So then, what brings you here today?"

The young man didn’t waste time with small talk and got straight to the point.

"I broke through recently, but my foundation’s still a bit unstable. I was planning on hunting a few beasts to get my body used to the new strength.

Do you have any good offensive or defensive talismans to recommend?"

The old man nodded and pulled out a few sheets, handing them over to the young man.

Listed on them were various talismans and their respective prices.

These were all products crafted by the various inscribers working at the pavilion.

Once completed, they would register their items with the pavilion, which would then list them in a system that allowed customers to browse the details.

Normally, those who had a trading token issued by the pavilion could activate the info directly since the tokens were linked to the central system where all the registered products were listed.

As for those who didn’t have one, or couldn’t afford one, they had to go to the counters and look through the records manually.

Naturally, the first option was much better, not only was it faster, but it also made buying and selling a lot smoother.

The young man first checked out the mortal rank talismans, then moved on to the spirit rank ones.

Mortal rank talismans were good for beginners, but only up to the 2nd grade of the Mortal rank.

For those at higher levels, they simply weren’t enough.

They would need higher rank items since low rank ones were basically useless for their strength.

With his savings, the young man could only afford the cheapest ones, but he still decided to glance at the spirit grade talismans, just to get an idea of what was out there.

"Hm? What’s this..."

Soon, his eyes landed on one spirit grade talisman in particular, and upon seeing the price, he couldn’t help but wonder if there’d been some kind of mistake.

"Only 10 low grade spirit stones?"

It was known that even a single 3rd grade mortal rank talisman could easily go for 10 low grade spirit stones or more, and prices only skyrocketed as the rank went up.

And yet here he was, looking at a 1st grade spirit rank talisman, being sold for just 10 low grade spirit stones?

The price difference between ranks whether for weapons or talismans was massive.

Even a first grade spirit rank item could easily go for 1 mid grade spirit stone on its own.

Not to mention higher ranks.

And yet here it was, listed at just 10 low grade ones. No wonder he thought it was a mistake.

"Old Liu, I think you forgot a couple of zeros here," he said, showing the price to the old man, who also looked confused as he checked it.

"Eh? Is it possible someone made a pricing mistake? Hold on, let me check," said the old man, thinking the same thing.

He picked up the talisman and immediately contacted the seller who’d registered it, reporting the issue. But soon, his eyes widened as the other party hung up after giving their reply.

Seeing the strange look on Old Liu’s face, the young man couldn’t help but ask,

"Old Liu, what’s wrong? What did he say?"

The old man at the counter composed himself, then leaned in with a complicated expression and said,

"The seller said the price is correct," he replied in a low voice, clearly still unsure of what he’d just heard.

"What? Are you serious?

Who in their right mind would sell something of that level for just 10 spirit stones?

Are you sure he’s not selling defective products?" the young man asked, clearly also in disbelief.
