Chapter 54 An Unexpected Harvest, Diamond-Grade Material Tianyuan Tears!
After filtering out the lower-grade materials, Bai Zian immediately felt much more relaxed. From now on, the only resource prompts that would appear in front of him would be silver-grade or higher, which would save him considerable energy.
With this in mind, Bai Zian walked slowly through the bustling market street, accompanied by Fatty Yuan. As one of Bai Lin City’s main commercial areas, Bai Zian truly found some decent items in this market. He spotted hundreds of silver-grade cores and even dozens of gold-grade resources.
However, Bai Zian wasn’t particularly interested in these materials.
Firstly, his family already had a decent stock of such items, so there was no need for him to make any external purchases.
Secondly, most of the gold-grade materials were not related to water, which limited their usefulness to him for the time being. Moreover, since this was a public market with transparent sources, all resources were clearly labeled with prices, leaving Bai Zian no room for opportunistic bargains.
Because of this, Bai Zian’s enthusiasm dwindled. After wandering through the market, he only purchased one or two gold-grade materials before losing interest altogether.
As for the two diamond-grade materials and the ideal pet beast cub he was
If this old shopkeeper were such a person, Bai Zian would need to tread carefully.
Thinking this, Bai Zian activated his Eye of Revelation to inspect the shopkeeper. Upon discovering that the old man was merely a silver-grade beast tamer, Bai Zian finally relaxed.
He almost thought he had stumbled upon some hidden tamer. The shopkeeper’s demeanor and appearance had been too deceiving—just shy of having “I have a story, do you have wine?” written on his face.
Of course, to be cautious, Bai Zian investigated further, even examining the shopkeeper’s contracted beasts. In the end, it turned out that the shopkeeper really was just an ordinary silver-grade beast tamer, not the hidden expert Bai Zian had feared.
With his worries alleviated, Bai Zian casually asked, “Boss, how much for these items?”
He picked up two or three iron- and bronze-grade resources, with the Tianyuan Tear discreetly wrapped among them. After all, if he were to purchase just the Tianyuan Tear, it would be too obvious and he’d risk being overcharged.
“You’ve got a sharp eye. I’ll give it to you for 10 million Jiuzhou Coins.” The shopkeeper said with a sly grin, quoting an absurd price.
Bai Zian was speechless.
This was the second time this had happened.
The last time, in Candlelight City, a street vendor had tried the same thing, asking for millions right off the bat. It seemed the black market merchants all had one thing in common: a dirty heart.
“Boss, take a good look. Do these three pieces of iron-grade materials really cost 10 million Jiuzhou Coins?” Bai Zian said indifferently as he slightly opened his bag, revealing the insignia of the Bai family.
“Haha, young man, you’re quite the joker! I was just teasing you earlier to liven things up,” the shopkeeper’s face paled as cold sweat formed on his forehead. His attitude did a complete 180 as he nervously laughed. “These bits of junk? How could they be worth that much? If you like them, just take them as a gift—consider it my way of making a friend.”
After seeing the crest of the City Lord’s Mansion on Bai Zian’s belongings, the shopkeeper’s demeanor changed instantly. The once greedy merchant now wore a forced smile, trying his best to appease him.
