C1493 Market Price

1However, this was none of his concern.    

    

Wan Xinglong was well aware that their Million Treasure Pavilion was in the business of commerce, and they couldn't afford to get entangled in the power struggles among the various major forces. Yet, the thought stirred something within him.    

    

These treasures, once introduced to the market by the Million Treasure Pavilion, would find their way into the hands of the other major powers and the upper echelons of Martial Cultivators.    

    

This influx would inevitably spark new conflicts and battles for interest, unleashing a series of violent upheavals.    

    

Regarding the five major forces, or more accurately, the Tianyuan Palace that now dominated the continent with its five subordinate halls, they had a profound heritage. With Emperor Level Martial Cultivators at the helm and a significant number of Emperor Level Martial Cultivators in their ranks, they wouldn't be noticeably impacted.    

    

But the same couldn't be said for the other powers.    

    

It was certain that many high-ranking Martial Cultivators would meet their demise, leading to catastrophic destruction.    

    

Wan Xinglong could already anticipate this outcome.    

    

And he was quite pleased at the prospect.    

    

In such struggles, the spoils would be claimed by a few victors.    

    

The majority, however, would benefit bystanders and businessmen like them.    

    

Business wasn't just for times of peace.    

    

In times of war, profits could be even greater and more frenzied.    

    

Of course, this excluded the chaos wrought by the Devil Cloud Sect when their war engulfed the continent.    

    

That wasn't war; it was a slaughter that obliterated humanity, a massacre that consumed everything of the vanquished—their savings, wealth, resources, and flesh.    

    

Time slipped by unnoticed.    

    

Wan Xinglong continued his meticulous inventory with a serious demeanor.    

    

As the Pavilion Master, he hadn't engaged in such tasks for decades, yet his proficiency remained intact.    

    

Having seen so many treasures over the years, he was no longer amazed.    

    

None of the items he encountered were of the Emperor Level—a reasonable expectation.    

    

Such high-caliber treasures could be of use to someone like Lin Xuan, a Half-level Emperor.    

    

Even if they weren't, they could be traded with other Half-level Emperors for something of value.    

    

It made no sense to sell them off for mere spirit stones.    

    

Even considering the possibility of a sale, it was a last resort.    

    

This was merely the Dongyuan Continent, and it couldn't handle treasures of such caliber.    

    

At the very least, it would be possible at the Million Treasure Pavilion headquarters on the Central Essence Continent.    

    

Lin Xuan picked up his cup of spirit tea and savored it leisurely, unhurried and composed.    

    

After some time had passed, Wan Xinglong had nearly finished organizing the treasures and he exhaled deeply.    

    

"Senior, you possess a vast number of treasures here. Our branch of the Million Treasure Pavilion on the Dongyuan Continent has limited reserves. I'm afraid it might be challenging for us to acquire all of them," Wan Xinglong admitted with sincerity, feeling a bead of sweat forming in his heart.    

    

He had intended to buy all the treasures Lin Xuan had gathered from the six major powers, as a gesture of goodwill.    

    

Yet, he hadn't anticipated that the six major powers had concealed their assets more deeply than he expected, or rather, Lin Xuan had plundered far more ruthlessly than he had imagined.    

    

He simply couldn't manage it.    

    

Thankfully, he hadn't made any premature promises, or he would have been embarrassed.    

    

"No worries. Just take whatever you can handle," Lin Xuan responded nonchalantly, seemingly indifferent.    

    

He had already plundered enough Top Grade spirit stones from the six major forces for his cultivation needs.    

    

These resources could be sold later on the Central Essence Continent.    

    

Besides, he could conveniently use the Tianyuan Secret Realm for intercontinental teleportation.    

    

Upon hearing this, Wan Xinglong gave a slight nod and glanced at the storage rings on the stone table.    

    

Now, the arrangement of the storage rings was entirely different from before.    

    

Initially, Lin Xuan had placed them randomly, indicating he didn't place much importance on these resources.    

    

He simply wanted to sell them off in exchange for the Top Grade spirit stones he could use.    

    

Now, however, they were sorted into several distinct piles, large and small, following Wan Xinglong's meticulous categorization by value, type, and grade.    

    

"Let's settle on these," Wan Xinglong decided after a moment of thought.    

    

He then selected a few smaller piles of storage rings.    

    

"These are medicinal herbs, spirit weapons, and minerals. Based on the market rate, their total value should be around 20,000 Top Grade spirit stones."    

    

"Senior, how does that sound to you?"    

    

It's fair to say that this amount doesn't even come close to half of what was expected.    

    

One can only imagine the immense wealth Lin Xuan has amassed from his recent exploits on the Dongyuan Continent.    

    

Among Wan Xinglong's selections, a considerable number were of Emperor Level quality.    

    

Yet, the majority were merely Low-grade or Middle-grade Emperor Level, with High-grade items being a rarity.    

    

This is because High-grade items are significantly more valuable, whether in the Central Essence Continent or the Dongyuan Continent.    

    

On the Dongyuan Continent, most High-grade items are under the tight control of the six major powers, with very few making it to the broader market.    

    

In comparison, Lin Xuan had already scoured every Emperor Level power on the Dongyuan Continent for valuables.    

    

It would be quite a challenge to extract any more value from them.    

    

Lin Xuan would be better off taking these items to the Central Essence Continent to sell, where he could potentially reap even greater profits.    

    

Lin Xuan was taken aback.    

    

Market price?    

    

The market price typically refers to the wholesale rate.    

    

While the Million Treasure Pavilion is the largest trading firm on the Tianyuan Continent, it's certainly not the only one.    

    

In fact, it's inconceivable to have a monopoly in this business.    

    

The market thrives on the presence of trading firms of all sizes, fostering circulation, competition, and ensuring vitality within the industry.    

    

The Million Treasure Pavilion doesn't just sell to martial artists; it also supplies other shops and trading companies.    

    

Thanks to its stellar reputation, the Million Treasure Pavilion offers a vast selection of high-quality goods.    

    

Many other shops and trading companies often stock up on inventory from the Million Treasure Pavilion.    

    

They then mark up the prices slightly and sell the items in their own establishments.    

    

The price at which these businesses purchase goods from the Million Treasure Pavilion is considered the market price.    

    

However, the buying price is a different story.    

    

Naturally, trading companies need to turn a profit, so the purchase price is typically at least 20% below the market rate.    

    

Some of the more ruthless traders might even offer only half the market price when buying.    

    

Yet, Wan Xinglong's offer to buy at the market price was surprisingly generous, far exceeding Lin Xuan's expectations.    

    

Lin Xuan quickly grasped the situation.    

    

This was a gesture of goodwill from the Million Treasure Pavilion, offering to relinquish a portion of their profits.    

    

It was in recognition of his status as a Half-level Emperor.    

    

With his unfathomable strength, he had effortlessly slain a peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivator, annihilated the Devil Cloud Sect, subdued the East Saint Sect, the Elemental Spirit Sect, and other formidable forces, founded the Tianyuan Palace, and unified the continent.    

    

Such feats naturally warranted his recognition as a Half-level Emperor.    

    

Indeed, apart from his unique existence, only a handful of Half-level Emperor experts could achieve such feats.    

    

Truly, strength is of paramount importance.    

    

Lin Xuan mused to himself.    

    

If a peak Emperor Level expert were in his shoes, even as a Sect Master on the Central Essence Continent, representing an Overlord Level Force, they would not be able to secure the market price.    

    

Using the market price as the purchase price would imply that the Million Treasure Pavilion was operating without profit, essentially losing money on the deal.    

    

For a business solely focused on commerce, this would be nearly unthinkable.    

    

If Lin Xuan weren't such an exceptional case, the Million Treasure Pavilion would never have considered such a move.
