Selling Magical Beast Core

After I left the City Lord's Palace, I kept walking on the street without a true destination. I watched as people were talking and arguing with each other, I watched the carriages passed by, the tall buildings within the cities etc. It was a new kind of environment filled with complicities and rules different from the forest and I have to re-adapt to it again. I stopped walking aimlessly and looked at the boundless sky. After thinking for a while, I walked toward the most bustling place in the inner city.

Now since I've come back and reinstated myself into the society, it is essential to have some money or to be wealthy. Unlike the magical beasts' forest where I used to roam free without a penny in my pocket as if the sky was my roof and the earth my bed, money was a vital element in this society. I will need money to eat, pay for a place sleep and transportation. In brief, aside from strength, I need money to stay afloat on my new journey. Although the City lord offered me to stay in his palace and all, I refused his proposal because I didn't want to rely on them. Not to mention, there's no such thing as free meal in a place such as the Archaic continent. So I planned on selling some magical beasts' core which I had obtained during my stay inside the magical beasts' forest, for some gold coins. After I had broken through level 93 which was equivalent to an early 10th rank expert, it becomes almost impossible to break through a single level even by absorbing a 10th rank magical beast' core. The gamer's Godship became like a bottomless pit which was why I stopped absorbing the magical beasts' core and saved them instead.

After asking many people along the way, I finally arrived at a marketplace or a shopping district which was located in the northern part of the inner city. This was the place where most of the strong warriors, mages, and rich people shop. As I was walking, I stopped in front of a five-story building. It was an Auction house where they sell and buy valuable items or weapons. The name of the auction house was 'Jade Auction House' and was one of the tallest building within the shopping district. Without wasting any more time, I entered the auction house and walked toward the hall on the ground floor.

As soon as I came inside, a beautiful young lady came forward. " Hello Sir, welcome to Jade Auction House. How can I help you today?"

" Hello young lady, this old man wants to sell some magical beasts' core. Do you think you can help me with that?." I Said with a slight smile on face.

" Sure, If mister wants to sell magical beasts' core then just follow me." Said the young lady as she is moving towards the stairs that lead to the second floor.

As for me, I immediately followed her. After a moment, we finally made it to the second floor. The young lady pushed the door open and went inside.

"This is mister shin and he is responsible for buying items for this branch of the auction house." Said the young lady as she is pointing to an old man reading a book.

The room was very nice and wide. It looked more like an office with tables, chairs and some furniture. However, the old man was sitting on some kind of sofa away from the tables and chairs.

As he heard the sound of door pushed open as well as the young lady's introduction. The old man got up from the sofa and walked to my direction.

" Hello friend, my name is shin and welcome to the jade auction house. We buy valuable items at a reasonable price and kept our customer's identity confidential. So what do you want to sell us today friend?" Said the old man with a bright smile on his face.

" Magical beasts' core." I bluntly answered the old man.

"Ohhh, I see. Can you show them to me?" Said the old man as he raised his hand and opened his palm in order to receive the magical beasts' core from me.

" Sure."

I took the inter-spatial storage ring from my pockets and put it on my finger. After that, I took a bag filled with magical beasts' core and handed to the old man.

"This is." Surprise flashes in the eyes of the old man. I didn't know if he was surprised because of the inter-spatial storage ring or for the big bag filled with magical beasts' core nor did I care.

" Can you tell me the total price of these magical beasts' core within the bag?" The old man still seemed to be lost thought after I took the bag filled with magical beasts' core within my ring.

" Oh yeah, sorry friend." Said the old man after he regained his composure.

He dropped the pile of magical beasts' core on a table and started counting them. After he finished counting them, there was a total of 100 Magical beasts' core within the bag, sixty 4th rank beast core, twenty 5th rank beasts core, fifteen 6th rank beasts cores, two 7th rank beasts core, two 8th rank beasts core and one 9th rank beast core.

" The total price for all this magical beasts' core is 270 000 gold coins." Said the old man after he was done counting the ranks of each core.

" that's fine," I Said the old man. It's not like I know the real price of a magical beast core so even if I was being scammed by that old foggy, I wouldn't know.

" There you go." Said the old man as he handed a small bag filled with gold coins.

" Well thanks, I'll take my leave now. It was a pleasure doing business with you." I Said while turning around to leave this place.

" If you have anything else sell don't forget to visit our jade Auction house," said the old man while I was leaving.

Right after Alfred left the store

" What a frightening old man, I can't even sense an ounce of Battle qi or mana from his body, yet I felt like I was in a presence of an ancient sleeping beast. He should be a powerfully hidden expert living in seclusion. Ling, go report everything that happened here to the Ice Queen young lady in the Qin Imperial Capital before she left." Said old man to the young lady in front of him.

" Yes, mister Shin." Said the young lady respectful as she left the room.

" Let's hope this old man he is not affiliated with any of the three Empires." murmured mister Shin to himself.
