The Sword God of the Universe - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Talk of the Town

Jing Yan pursed his lips slightly when he saw how dumbfounded Su Zixuan looked.

“Go fetch all of the Nine Yin Fruit for me, please,” Jing Yan said, still looking at Su Zixuan.

He had no choice but to remind her again, seeing that she was still standing there in a daze.

“Oh right… sure.” Su Zixuan finally came to her senses.

Her face had flushed so much that it looked like an apple.

Excitement filled her heart.

If Mr. Jing Yan was truly going to purchase all 50 Nine Yin Fruit, she wondered just how much commission she was going to get.

The commission she received would be a very large sum, even to a Fifth Heaven warrior like her.

In the House of the Precious, the percentage of commission received by the receptionists changed depending on which item was sold.

The more popular the resource, the lower the percentage.

Items like Nine Yin Fruit would yield a commission of an astonishing three percent.

That was to say that Su Zixuan would receive three Spiritual Stones for every deal of 100 Spiritual Stones that she sealed. A deal worth 10,000 Spiritual Stones would yield a commission of 300 Spiritual Stones.

Without a doubt, that was a sum that would elicit envy from others.

Her face still red, Su Zixuan went into the storehouse quickly and took out all 45 Nine Yin Fruit.

“Su Zixuan, what are you doing?”

Her actions naturally caught the attention of other receptionists.

Some of them went on to berate Su Zixuan for going into the storehouse and taking out the dozens of Nine Yin Fruit stored within.

“How could you simply take resources out of the storehouse just like that? Don’t you know the rules, Su Zixuan?” A receptionist dressed in red raised her voice.

Jing Yan wasn’t standing all that far away from them, and he frowned when he heard Su Zixuan getting scolded.

“I was the one who requested that she take the fruits out. I’m buying them all. Is there a problem with that?” Jing Yan said as he walked up to them and glared at the receptionist in red.

“What?”

Jing Yan’s words shocked the receptionist into silence.

All the other receptionists stood dumbfounded where they were, their eyes wide open, staring at Jing Yan.

“This is impossible!” they were thinking.

“Do you know how much a Nine Yin Fruit costs?”

“Are you thinking that they are garbage items that you can buy a few of with just a single Spiritual Stone? They are Third-grade spirit herbs that cost 1100 Spiritual Stones each!”

The receptionist in red was breathing heavily. However, Jing Yan was a client, and under the rules of the House of the Precious, receptionists were absolutely not allowed to argue with clients.

It was worth noting that every client that was allowed to enter the House of the Precious was anything but ordinary. All of them were of very high social status.

While they dared not argue with Jing Yan on the spot, some of the receptionists nonetheless shot contemptuous glances at him.

“Su Zixuan, there are Spiritual Stones in this gold card. I’d like to check out right now.” Jing Yan snorted coldly at the other woman before turning to speak to Su Zixuan, who was still standing there feeling rather wronged.

All the receptionists paused as Jing Yan took out the Spiritual Stone Gold Card.

The reason for their reaction was simple.

Even a gold card of the smallest denomination would have 10,000 Spiritual Stones in it. Ten thousand Spiritual Stones was not a sum they could wrap their heads around easily.

Furthermore, none of them possessed a Spiritual Stone Gold Card.

“All 50 Nine Yin Fruits should come to a total of 55,000 Spiritual Stones, and the card is worth 100,000 Spiritual Stones,” Jing Yan continued.

Gasspp!

A few of the receptionists felt their legs begin to tremble.

This was no joke. Jing Yan actually had enough Spiritual Stones, and he was really about to buy 50 Nine Yin Fruits.

Several of them then shot heated glances at Su Zixuan. At the same time, they all deeply regretted choosing not to serve Jing Yan themselves.

“Al-alright, Mr. Jing Yan, please follow me.” Su Zixuan put all 50 Nine Yin Fruit into a box.

A single Nine Yin Fruit was hardly larger than a human’s thumb, so all 50 of them wouldn’t take up much space.

At the checkout counter, Jing Yan put all 50 Nine Yin Fruits into a jade box and packed it away.

He handed over his gold card worth 100,000 Spiritual Stones, and in return, he received four gold cards worth 10,000 Spiritual Stones each and 5000 Spiritual Stones in physical form.

The rucksack that he had on his back was more than half filled, and it was a substantial weight as it rested on his back.

“I’ll be off then. See you next time.” Jing Yan smiled and said goodbye to Su Zixuan.

He left the place soon enough.

“You really are something, Zixuan. Boy, that’s quite a sum you’ve just earned.” A male warrior behind the counter grinned and said to her, “You’ve just been here for three days, and you’ve already bagged such a huge sale. Man…”

The male warrior looked at Su Zixuan with eyes filled with envy.

It was worth noting that Su Zixuan had received a commission of a whopping 1650 Spiritual Stones by closing just one deal. Furthermore, it was a deal that had taken her little more than moments to close.

That earning rate would have drawn envy from anyone. Even High-ranking warriors would have been envious, let alone Middle-ranking ones.

“Great work, Zixuan. Your commission, all 1650 Spiritual Stones, will be yours tonight.”

An elder dressed in a blue robe walked out of the back of the shop and nodded to her, complimenting her with a smile.

The elder was none other than the manager of the House of the Precious.

It was obvious that the deal shocked even the manager.

While all resources on sale in the House of the Precious were very expensive items, with every deal closed fetching astonishing numbers of stones, it still wasn’t common to see a deal worth over 50,000 Spiritual Stones being closed. Even the House of the Precious hadn’t seen a transaction like that in months.

The youngest son of the Patriarch of the Zhao Clan, Zhao Dengtian, was said to be preparing to purchase some resources. He had only prepared 20,000 Spiritual Stones, though. That alone served as a testament to just how rare a deal worth over 50,000 Spiritual Stones really was.

“Thank you, manager.” Su Zixuan nodded furiously.

She thanked Jing Yan very, very much from the bottom of her heart as well.

Now that she was closed such a lucrative deal, her status in the House of the Precious had become a lot more stable. At the very least, the manager would remember her.

…

Something else happened while Jing Yan was out buying Nine Yin Fruits.

A frightening rumor circulated all over Dong Lin City. Everyone in the streets and restaurants was now talking about a legendary warrior. The number of conversations happening at once was astronomical.

“What did you say? Jing Yan from the Jing Clan actually managed to defeat Li Tianfu?”

“D*mn, could you make up a more ridiculous claim? Isn’t Jing Yan just a Third Heaven warrior? Even if he’s at the Seventh Heaven as you said, he’s still just a Seventh Heaven warrior. A Seventh Warrior defeating Li Tianfu? Are you out of your mind?”

“Hahaha, this is hilarious. The rumors these days are really getting more and more insane.”

Discussions like that were carried out everywhere. Jing Yan became the talk of the town once again.

“Hmph, you know-nothing dumb*sses. I saw it with my own eyes, man! Furthermore, I wasn’t the only one who saw it; there were thousands of people in the Extreme Combat Association who witnessed it personally. You don’t believe me? Feel free to ask around then!” A warrior dressed in black argued furiously, as he glared at those who doubted him with angry eyes.
