Chief Steward Bai left in a hurry. Soon, two maids came in with some Mystical Fruits in case Lu Li and Liu Yi were bored waiting.
Naturally, the two did not hesitate to grab the Mystical Fruits for free. They gobbled them up.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, Chief Steward Bai came back. He did not come back alone. There was a beautiful lady following him.
As soon as Lu Li saw the lady, his eyes were glued to her. Liu Yi also felt ashamed of her inferiority.
The lady was so beautiful. If there was one word to describe her, it would be … seductive!
The lady did not look old. If one didn't look carefully, she looked like Liu Yi.
However, she gave people the feeling that she was a married lady. Her figure was exaggerated with distinct curves. She was wearing a light red floral dress, which was not too revealing. She didn't try to show off either. Instead, she looked dignified with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.
However!
When Lu Li and Liu Yi saw this lady, the word "seductive" came to their mind. They felt that this lady had seduction hidden in her bones.
She didn't need to put on a show. She could be seductive at first glance.
"Um, this is Madam Yan. She is a senior steward of our chamber of commerce."
Chief Steward Bai coughed lightly which startled Lu Li. He introduced Lu Li and Liu Yi and said with a smile, "We have identified the Blood Caterpillar Fruits you brought. Madam Yan just happened to pass by and said she wants to meet you."
Lu Li and Liu Yi secretly tried to sense Madam Yan's qi and energy.
There could only be two explanations. Either Madam Yan had no combat abilities, or her realm was so high that the two could not sense her realm.
Madam Yan smiled gently, bowed and said, "Nice to meet you, sister. Nice to meet you too."
Madam Yan's aura was so strong that Liu Yi stood up in a hurry and bowed back, "Nice to meet you, Madam!"
Lu Li had been looking at Lu Ling's stunning face for years. He was immune to pretty girls. Soon, he regained his composure.
He thought about it and realized that the Blood Caterpillar Fruits must be of good quality. Otherwise, Madam Yan wouldn't have come. If so, then he couldn't be too intimate with Madam Yan. Otherwise, it would be hard to ask for a price.
He thought about it and nodded lightly, "Nice to meet you, Madam Yan."
Lu Li's indifferent expression and calm tone impressed Madam Yan and Chief Steward Bai.
Not many Family Patriarchs could stay so calm in front of Madam Yan, let alone a young warrior like Lu Li.
Madam Yan reacted quickly. She looked at Lu Li and said, "We have made a preliminary evaluation of your Blood Caterpillar Fruits. The quality is good.
However, further experimentation was needed to determine how much medicinal power it could amplify.
That's why I'm preparing to send someone to refine the medicine. I want to see if the final product's medicinal power will increase.
As long as the medicinal efficacy can be increased, the price is negotiable. What do you think? "
It was reasonable that the Blood Caterpillar Fruits were useful or not. Lu Li asked, "How long will it take?"
"Four hours!"
Madam Yan looked at Chief Steward Bai and said, "In the next four hours, you can ask Chief Steward Bai to show you around the Chamber of Commerce.
Whatever you like, as long as it's within one thousand Xuan Crystals, you can buy it. Consider it my apology. "
Four hours was not a long time. Madam Yan was courteous enough to give them one thousand Xuan Crystals.
The two agreed. Madam Yan left with a smile. Lu Li and Liu Yi were brought to the interior of the Chamber of Commerce by Chief Steward Bai.
As soon as they entered the market, the two were dazzled. It was so spacious inside. There were hundreds of shops, and it was only on the first floor. There should be a second floor above.
Even if it was only on the first floor, the two were still shocked. The things inside could easily cost thousands of Xuan Crystals. They saw a Ninth-rank Earth Grade saber that cost 10,000 Xuan Crystals …
Xuan Skills, pellets, armors, Xuan Artifacts, chariots, Mystical Materials, all kinds of things were available. As long as you had Xuan Crystals, you could have everything you wanted here.
Lu Li even saw some pretty girls in one of the shops. Their prices were clearly marked. All of them were female slaves …
Apart from Liu Yi buying some beautiful clothes and spending hundreds of Xuan Crystals, Lu Li and Liu Yi didn't buy anything else.
They didn't buy anything else because they couldn't afford many of the things.
As they walked on, a corridor appeared in front of them. It led downwards. There were people going in and out. Lu Li asked with curiosity, "Chief Steward Bai, what are they selling down there?"
"Slaves!"
Chief Steward Bai explained in a low voice, "They are all slaves of alien races. There are alien race beauties and alien race powerful warriors. Today, a batch was delivered. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Alien race?"
Lu Li didn't understand since he had never heard of it. Liu Yi explained in a low voice, "Our world is connected to many small worlds. There are alien races in those small worlds.
There seems to be a connecting passage in the Thousand-island Lake. Warriors of Big Families often go there to fight. If they win, they can capture some alien race warriors and beauties. They can bring them back as slaves and sell them at a high price. "
Chief Steward Bai nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, the Thousand-island Lake is connected to more than one small world. There are three in total. Therefore, it is not strange to have alien race slaves at the Thousand-island Lake."
"Let's go and have a look!"
Lu Li's curiosity was piqued. Led by Chief Steward Bai, he walked into an underground hall.
There were many people down there. They were all pointing at the cages. Lu Li and Liu Yi looked at them and felt strange.
There were 10 cages in total in the hall, containing 10 alien races. Eight of them were beauties.
Three alien race beauties had wings on their backs. Lu Li and Liu Yi thought they were looking at monsters.
There were also five beauties from different races who had very pointy ears and tails behind their backs, making them look like female cats …
"This is the Feather Race, and this is the cat girl!"
Chief Steward Bai explained, "The Feather Race can fly. But these Feather Race girls are too weak. They can't fly high or long.
As for the cat girl, her tongue is very powerful, ha, ha … "
With Liu Yi here, Chief Steward Bai couldn't say more. Lu Li only understood half of it.
When he saw the price tag on the cages, he didn't dare to look at the alien race girls anymore.
The lowest price for a Feather Race girl was 10,000 Xuan Crystals. The cat girl was even more expensive. All of them were more than 20,000 Xuan Crystals. One Calming Pellet was only 500 Xuan Crystals …
Lu Li looked at the remaining two alien race warriors. They were of the same race, and they were very ugly.
They were dwarfs with a height of only three feet. Their skin was green, and their eyes were filled with an evil glare, which made people uncomfortable.
Chief Steward Bai explained, "These are Green Dwarfs. These two … are comparable to warriors at the initial stage of the Soul Pond Realm. They are good to take back to guard the house."
"Soul Pond Realm?"
Lu Li and Liu Yi looked at each other in shock. How dare they sell warriors of the Soul Pond Realm?
What if they killed their masters after they bought them?
Chief Steward Bai could tell that the two were worried. He said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about safety. The two Green Dwarfs have been implanted with Soul Worms. They will be in unbearable pain as long as their masters use their minds. They can even be killed easily.
If we sell them, they must have been domesticated. They will not hurt their masters and they will obey orders completely. "
"Good stuff!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. Buying one Green Dwarf was equal to having one more fighter of the Soul Pond Realm.
If he could buy five, wouldn't he be able to fight against the Blood Evil Brotherhood?
"50,000 Xuan Crystals …"
Liu Yi shouted in surprise, which woke Lu Li up. He looked at the price tag on the cages and rolled his eyes.
50,000 Xuan Crystals. Even if a small family sold itself, it wouldn't be able to afford one.
Families or forces that could afford 50,000 Xuan Crystals must have several warriors of the Soul Pond Realm. Why would they need this kind of slave?
Chief Steward Bai added, which made Lu Li completely give up the idea of buying this kind of slave. "These Green Dwarfs can eat a lot, and they only eat special Mystical Materials. They will eat Mystical Materials that are worth about 30 Xuan Crystals a day. Therefore, this kind of slave is not popular."
Thirty Xuan Crystals a day, which would be nearly 1000 a month, and more than 10,000 Xuan Crystals a year. Even a Fourth-rank Family would find it hard to support this kind of slave …
…
