Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Before he came to Zhenshi County.

He had more than 50,000 taels of silver on him.

It cost 40,000 taels of silver to exchange for a series of intelligence on the Blood Soul Cult.

There are more than 10,000 taels left.

He received more than 10,000 taels of silver from that Blood Soul Cult elder.

That adds up to more than 25,000 taels.

Now that they have received another 100,000 taels, that makes a total of over 125,000 taels.

With just over 20,000 taels of silver short, I could buy enough pills to break through to the Perfected Transformation Sea Realm.

He possessed two Xuan-level treasured weapons, which were given to him by two powerful members of the Yamamoto family from the island nation, Yamamoto Jiro and Yamamoto Okamura.

If we find a way to sell it, we should be able to raise enough money.

Let's wait for this case to be reported.

He has made a significant contribution, and the Night Watch headquarters will certainly reward him.

No matter what he gets then, he'll exchange it for silver, and it'll probably be a considerable sum.

We can definitely raise enough.

The next two days.

The Night Watch headquarters' powerful members went to various parts of Zhenshi County to wipe out the remaining scattered small strongholds and branches of the Blood Soul Cult.

They all returned one after another.

With virtually no mishaps, all Blood Soul Cult strongholds within Zhenshi County were completely wiped out.

Gongsun Yuan led a group of personnel from the Wilderness Guard headquarters back.

He told Gu Chen before leaving.

This case involves a significant amount of information and needs to be reported to the Central Plains Night Watch headquarters.

The reward will be issued after the headquarters has determined the merits.

Therefore, Gu Chen was told to go back to Yuehai County and wait patiently.

He will report the truth to headquarters, and Gu Chen can just go back and wait for the rewards and merits to fall on his head.

After Gongsun Yuan left.

Gu Chen and Luo Tianxing also left.

Tie Yangtian wanted Gu Chen and Luo Tianxing to stay at his residence for a while longer so the three brothers could have a few more drinks together.

They were rejected by both Gu Chen and Luo Tianxing.

The matter is over. In Yuehai County, Luo Tianxing has matters to attend to every day and cannot stay for long.

Gu Chen didn't want to stay because he was thinking about going back to refine pills and earn money.

In the end, the two traveled together and returned to Yuehai County.

After arriving in Yuehai County, Gu Chen bid farewell to Luo Tianxing and returned to Jiuwan City.

The day he takes office is not far off.

Within ten days at most, the procedures for him to take up his post as the head of the Night Watch in Li Huo Prefecture will be completed, and the official seal and official robes will be delivered to him.

He has to go and take up his post.

After parting ways with Luo Tianxing, Gu Chen did not return directly to Jiuwan City.

Instead, he changed into the clothes of a rogue cultivator in the wild and used the bone-shrinking disguise technique to change his appearance.

He transformed into the appearance of an old, rogue cultivator.

Furthermore, he controlled his cultivation aura to the level of a fifth-grade Sea Transformation Realm cultivator.

Gu Chen then went to the Black Rock Mansion.

In Black Rock Prefecture, Gu Chen entered the largest pawnshop in the prefecture.

He took out the two Japanese samurai swords that Yamamoto Jiro and Yamamoto Okamura had given him.

It was slapped on the counter of the pawnshop owner.

The manager of this pawnshop only had the cultivation level of the seventh-grade True Essence Realm.

Seeing that Gu Chen's aura was unfathomable and that he looked like an old rogue cultivator, he was at least a sixth-rank expert, so they dared not be negligent.

He inquired, "Senior, do you wish to pawn these two items?"

"Not bad." Gu Chen used his bone-shrinking disguise technique to control his voice, making it sound like an old man, and said, "These two Xuan-grade weapons were seized by me when I killed two Japanese pirates. Both are high-grade Xuan-grade. How much silver are they worth?"

The shopkeeper picked up two Japanese samurai swords.

After carefully examining them and confirming their quality, he replied, "Senior, these two Japanese samurai swords are indeed high-grade Xuan-level treasures. However, the aura of their markings is too strong. Using them would easily incur the wrath of the Yamamoto family, a powerful family in Japan. Furthermore, because they are weapons of the Japanese standard, most powerful figures in the Divine Dynasty would oppose their use. Only some rogue cultivators with limited resources who cannot obtain better treasures would purchase them. Therefore, their value is likely far less than that of ordinary high-grade Xuan-level treasures."

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this. The shopkeeper was telling the truth. If these two knives didn't belong to the Yamamoto family of Japan, their value would be even higher.

"How much silver are they worth?" Gu Chen asked the shopkeeper.

"The two together will cost at most 36,000 taels of silver!" the shopkeeper quoted.

"Too few." Gu Chen shook his head.

He had previously considered selling these two samurai swords, so he specifically researched the prices of various grades of precious weapons.

Ordinary, non-ranked, common-grade treasure weapons are priced between one hundred and one thousand taels of silver.

A high-ranking weapon.

Yellow-grade jadeite is priced between one thousand and ten thousand taels of silver.

The price of a Xuan-level item ranges from ten thousand to one hundred thousand taels of silver.

For those of the prefecture level, the price ranges from 100,000 to 1 million taels.

Those of the highest rank cannot be bought with money.

It is rare and difficult to come by, and generally one has to rely on their own true essence to nurture its spirituality before using it.

Otherwise, others would nurture a precious soldier with spiritual qualities.

Even if you buy it, you'll find it incompatible with you and won't be able to use it.

If it were an ordinary high-grade Xuan-level treasured sword, the price would be between 50,000 and 80,000 taels.

These two Japanese samurai swords, even though they have special significance because of their shape and style, still retain their quality.

Its strength surpasses that of ordinary low-to-mid-grade Xuan-level treasure weapons.

The discount couldn't possibly be this much.

Two knives, if we compromise, would cost 65,000 taels each, which would be 130,000 taels for both. But the shopkeeper only offered 36,000 taels, not even a third of the price.

He naturally could not accept it.

"Senior, it's not that I'm deliberately trying to lower the price, but these kinds of island nation standard weapons are really hard to sell in the Divine Dynasty. Sometimes quality doesn't necessarily represent value." The shopkeeper said with a helpless expression, "The most I can give you is 42,000 taels. If you're not satisfied, there's nothing we can do."

"This price is definitely the highest that pawnshops in various places can offer. Some standard weapons used by islanders may not even be worth a tenth of their original price." The shopkeeper looked at Gu Chen.

He wasn't lying.

This price is indeed fair.

Most independent cultivators who can afford a Xuan-level treasure weapon are willing to spend a little more money to buy one that suits their own needs; very few would choose this kind.

"I'll sell you for forty-five thousand taels," Gu Chen said.

Indeed, this price would be considered quite good at a pawn shop.

They'll definitely make money off it.

If you were to carefully select the individual cultivators who are interested in buying their products, you might be able to earn more money.

But that would be too troublesome, and I wouldn't have the time.

It would be easier to just sell it to a pawnshop.

Sell ​​it to them, get the silver, and then you can buy pills to break through to the next level.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll take it at a loss."

The shopkeeper took out 45,000 taels of silver and gave it to Gu Chen, then took away the two Japanese samurai swords.

Gu Chen took the silver and left the pawnshop.

I went to the Medicine King Pavilion again.

The two Breakthrough Pills seized from the Blood Soul Cult elders will be sold at an 85% discount.

They exchanged it for 1,700 taels of silver.

Then they left Blackrock Mansion directly.

Head to the county seat of Yuehai County.

You can get a 4% discount on fifth-grade pills there, making them even cheaper.

Finally, Gu Chen was in the Xuantian Pavilion in Yuehai County.

He bought 74 Huahai Pills for 142,080 taels of silver at a 94% discount.

He previously had over 125,000 taels of silver. Selling 200 knives and two pills brought him an additional 46,700 taels, bringing his total to over 172,000 taels.

Now that all the pills have been sold, there are still 30,000 taels left.

Although he lost over 100,000 taels of silver, Gu Chen was very happy.

Because he will soon break through to the Perfected Transformation Sea Realm.

Holding the pills, Gu Chen then left Yuehai County.

In a remote place in the wild.

Choose to break through.

When he went to Jiuwan City, he no longer lived in his former residence, but in the Cheng family's residence.

Once you break through to the Perfected Sea Transformation Realm, your influence will definitely be greater than before, so in order to avoid being noticed.

It would be better to break through in the wild before going back.
