Chapter 33 Bargaining (Please read further with monthly votes and recommendations)
The vest exuded a cold, jade-like aura, with a faint blue light weaving across it.

This inner armor looks quite extraordinary!

In the other box was a pair of black boots, made of an unknown material—neither leather nor cloth—embroidered with numerous runes.

The runes were extremely small and densely packed, some overlapping each other, so that even Li Yunjing's eyesight was only able to make out a rough outline.

Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations of the two magical artifacts, Li Yunjing nodded and said, "These two magical artifacts are not bad. I wonder what level of attack this inner armor can withstand?"

"Junior Brother Li, this 'Mysterious Jade Inner Armor' can be activated actively or passively. If you are prepared and activate this treasure actively, you can block an attack from a Foundation Establishment Realm Level 1! If you are ambushed and don't have time to activate it, a Qi Refining Realm Level 7 will definitely not be able to inflict fatal damage on you!"

Wang Weizhi said affirmatively.

"Oh? Is it that effective?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He thought he would be lucky to be able to defend against an attack from a Qi Refining Realm expert, but he never expected that he could actually block an attack from a Foundation Establishment Realm expert!
This was truly an unexpected delight.

"Of course! It can be tested! If it fails, we at 'Yueminglou' will offer a full refund, and you won't need to return the goods!"

Wang Weizhi spoke with absolute certainty and great confidence.

"Hmm! What about these 'Swift Boots'? How fast can you go after wearing them?"

Li Yunjing continued to ask.

"The 'Swift Boots' are mainly dependent on the user's strength. This magical artifact is engraved with various spell runes such as 'Swift Wind Technique' and 'Rainbow Transformation Technique.' Normally, it would provide a 30% boost to the Qi Refining Realm!"

Wang Weizhi remained silent for a moment before giving a reply.

This answer did not particularly satisfy Li Yunjing.

However, he also knew that this was the highest-level magical artifact he could access.

If he becomes even stronger, his 2000 contribution points might not be enough.

"Senior Brother Wang, how many contribution points does the 'Mysterious Jade Inner Armor' cost?"

Basically, Li Yunjing was satisfied with both treasures, and he was considering paying for them. Now it was time to ask about the price.

"Junior brother, the market for top-grade magic weapons is quite transparent. Top-grade offensive magic weapons are mostly between 500 and 700 low-grade spirit stones; while top-grade defensive magic weapons are 20% more expensive than that!"

After scrutinizing Li Yunjing's face and seemingly not discerning anything, Wang Weizhi continued, "This 'Mysterious Jade Inner Armor' is the finest of the fine, valued at 900 low-grade spirit stones. Converted to sect points, that's a 10% discount. Junior Brother, you only need to pay 810 contribution points to take it away."

"Hmm! What about the 'Swift Boots'?"

Li Yunjing remained expressionless and continued to ask.

Wang Weizhi couldn't glean anything from Li Yunjing's calm expression.

For a moment, it was unclear whether this junior brother Li thought it was too expensive or if it met his expectations.

"Although these 'Swift Boots' are not special magical artifacts and are more of a defensive artifact, their speed-enhancing properties make them an essential artifact for traveling or escaping!"

"Just imagine, if you were being chased and in danger, wearing the 'Swift Boots' would allow you to escape immediately. How precious this treasure is!"

Seemingly sensing Li Yunjing's slight impatience, Wang Weizhi gave an awkward smile and quickly offered a price: "'Swift Boots' are worth 1000 contribution points!"

"Hmm! Not bad! The price didn't exceed my expectations, but I still need to exchange my contribution points for some elixirs, so I can't spend them all on two magic artifacts."

The thought flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.

Li Yunjing closed his eyes slightly, his fingers tapping the table intermittently, the rhythmic "thump! thump! thump!" echoing in the reception room.

Seeing that Li Yunjing's expression was indifferent and he didn't even seem to want to try out the magic weapon, Wang Weizhi couldn't figure out what Li Yunjing meant.

However, this door-to-door business can't just fall through. "Junior Brother Li, what do you think?"

Wang Weizhi finally managed to ask that question.

Li Yunjing remained silent until he sensed that Wang Weizhi was becoming restless. Only then did he slowly open his eyes and say leisurely, "This price is too high."

These six simple words, spoken softly yet with unwavering conviction, were clearly beyond question.

Seeing Li Yunjing's expression, Wang Weizhi knew that this person definitely wouldn't offer such a high price.

"Well... if Junior Brother Li buys these two magical artifacts, I'm willing to cover some of the losses and only charge you 1750 contribution points!"

Wang Weizhi gave a wry smile.

As for whether what he said is true or false, that's naturally a matter of opinion.

"1700!"

Li Yunjing looked directly at Wang Weizhi and said firmly.

Seeing that Wang Weizhi's bitter smile deepened, Li Yunjing added, "Purchase another 300 contribution points worth of pills!"

"make a deal!"

Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Wang Weizhi finally smiled.

Earning less from the two magical artifacts is acceptable if we can make up for it with pills.

After all, this is a big order worth 2000 contribution points!
Let alone the menial disciples, even among the outer disciples, there are very few who have made such a grand gesture.

After all, outer disciples also need to cultivate and have various needs. They have no way of accumulating so much precious wealth as contributions.

"Senior Brother Wang, could you please tell me which type of elixir is most suitable for my cultivation level?"

Li Yunjing continued to ask.

"With your cultivation level, what use are you for spirit pills! Those kinds of spirit pills aren't even worthy of someone at the second level of Qi Refining!"

Wang Wei cursed inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face, instead smiling broadly.

This is a major client; we can't afford to offend them.

Out of consideration for the contribution points, Wang Weizhi would answer any question Li Yunjing asked.

"There are several pills that can replenish mana in the Qi Refining stage, such as Qi Refining Pill, Qi Gathering Pill, Qi Replenishing Pill, and Mana Pill. These pills are basically suitable for use in the early and middle stages of the Qi Refining stage."

After a pause, Wang Weizhi added, "Our 'Yueminglou' has its own alchemists, among whom the 'Qi-Replenishing Pill' is very suitable for Junior Brother Li."

"Oh? How much is this 'Qi-replenishing pill' worth?"

Li Yunjing asked.

He had only a superficial understanding of these pills. They were mentioned by name in the sect's "Divine Firmament Jade Book," but it seemed that because they were not very effective, there was no detailed comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of each pill.

It only records the medicinal materials needed for these elixirs, as well as the types of elixirs.

Of course, there are many kinds of pills that can be used to assist in Qi cultivation in the Qi Refining stage. According to the "Divine Firmament Jade Book", there are dozens of kinds in various sects and schools within the Ming Dynasty.

However, "Yue Minglou" clearly only has four or five kinds of basic pills.

"This kind of pill is not expensive. One pill is worth 10 contribution points. If you have sect contribution points, you will naturally enjoy a 10% discount."

Wang Weizhi introduced it with a smile.
