Chapter 42: Purchasing a Fifth-Grade Magic Core (Second Update)

  No longer looking at those dazzling goods, Yi Chi focused on finding a counter that sold magic cores.

  Before long, Chi found a counter selling magic cores.

  As he approached the counter, he saw all sorts of goods on display, and in front of Yi Chi's eyes were a few magic cores.

  "Is this gentleman here to buy magic cores?" The old man behind the counter looked at Yi Chi, not looking anywhere else, and guessed his intention just by looking at those few magic cores.

  Yi Chi heard the sound and looked up, only to see an old man over 80 years old in front of him, with a head full of white hair and a weathered face. Those wrinkles that curved and twisted on his face all told the heartlessness of time.

  "Not bad, is the old man the owner of this store?" Yi Chi looked around and saw that there was no one else at the counter, so he asked.

  "Hehe, how dare I? How dare I? This old man doesn't have the financial resources to open a counter on the fourth floor of this auction house. I'm just helping out with the store." The old man said with a smile.

  Yi Chi couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This old man, even if he wasn't the owner of the store, must be a close acquaintance of the owner; otherwise, who would entrust an entire counter to a strange old man?

  "Old man, I'm sorry to trouble you," said Yi Chi politely. "I don't know if this store has any fifth-grade magic cores for sale?"

  Because, Yi Chi saw that several demon cores were all third or fourth level, and there was no fifth-level demon core placed in this cabinet, so he asked this question.

  "Oh! This young brother needs a fifth-level magic core?" The old man said with some surprise, a fifth-level magic core is already a high-end product, each one requires tens of thousands of gold coins, except for the large families cultivating magicians or high-level blacksmiths, others basically won't come to buy.

  "Heh heh, I was thinking the same thing." Yi Chi also knew why the old man was surprised. After all, over ten thousand gold coins wasn't a joke, and it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary family's children to take out that kind of money.

  After hearing Yi Chi's determined words, the old man looked at him with a hint of a smile, while the guards behind Yi Chi looked at him with disbelieving faces, probably thinking that Yi Chi didn't have the financial resources to make the purchase.

  Yi Chi, who had taken in everyone's expressions with his eyes, was completely nonchalant. Whether it was suspicion or doubt, as long as he really bought it when the time came, all of this would dissipate like smoke and clouds.

  "Since little brother needs to buy, then I'll take it out for you to see." The old man smiled and took out a box, but Yi Chi didn't even see how it ended up in the old man's hands.

  "A space ring?" He secretly speculated that if it wasn't a space ring, then the old man's strength was a bit terrifying. In Yi Chi's view, the old man in front of him was completely an ordinary person and didn't cultivate internal energy or magic. If he didn't have a space ring, then the move just now would be impossible even for a martial king.

  Yi Chi's gaze fell on the old man's hands.

  "As expected, I don't know if this is a space ring or not?" It wasn't until he saw the ring on his left hand that Yi Chi smiled with satisfaction.

  "Little brother, take a look." Opening the box, inside were five dragon eye-sized magic cores quietly placed, with colors of the rainbow overlapping each other, revealing a hint of oppressive feeling.

  "It's indeed worthy of being a fifth-grade magic core!! This magic core even gives off a sense of pressure." Yi Chi exclaimed in admiration.

  "Not bad, this fifth-level demon beast is already equivalent to a Dou Ling level expert, and moreover, the demon beast is inherently stronger than humans. This pressure comes naturally and is even more profound, even after it's dead, the demonic core still carries its pre-death pressure." The old man also praised.

  "This young brother, these five magic cores of mine are all second-rate quality magic cores, each selling for 10,000 gold coins. I wonder if you plan to buy them?" The old man looked at Yi Chi with a smile in his eyes.

  After listening to the old man's words, Yi Chi couldn't help but smile, and secretly used energy points to exchange for 20,000 gold coins.

  "Exchange 20,000 gold coins, deduct energy points: 60,000 points, remaining energy points: 14,000 points."

  After feeling the 20,000 gold coins that had been put into his oath ring, Yi Chi smiled happily.

  "It's possible to earn a bit more, but this time when I go back, I'll definitely be interrogated by my father. Never mind, we'll talk about it later." Although doing so carries some risk, for Yi Chi who is eager to increase his strength, this small risk can still be taken.

  "Not bad, I wonder if it can be exchanged for the next observation?" Yi Chi Guang looked at it and couldn't determine how many energy points this magic core could exchange for. Only after he came into contact with it could he confirm it, which had always been a source of frustration for him. After all, there were some things that people wouldn't let him touch."

  "I wonder if this can be upgraded to show item information just by looking at it?" Yichi thought to himself.

  As for Yi Chi's request, the old man hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. After all, this was the Li Tian Auction House, who would dare to rob someone here?

  "Good, little brother take a look." After finishing speaking, he put the box on the counter and let Yi Chi watch.

  Yi Chi also took a magic core without hesitation and watched it.

  "Item in front of you can be exchanged for energy points: 63,000 points."

  Yi Chi was also shocked after seeing this piece of information.

  "Unexpectedly, it can be exchanged for 63,000 energy points. Not bad, not bad!" After nodding to himself, Yi Chi put down the magic core in his hand and picked up another one.

  "Item in front of you can be exchanged for energy points: 58,000 points."

  "Item in front of you can be exchanged for energy points: 59,000 points."

  "Item in front of you can be exchanged for energy points: 71,000 points."

  "Item in front of you can be exchanged for energy points: 66,000 points."

  ......

  After checking them one by one, Yi Chi took out the two magic cores worth 71,000 and 66,000 points respectively, and put the other three back.

  "Old man, I'll take these two." Yi Chi swayed the two magic cores in his hand.

  "Heh heh, didn't expect little brother to actually make a purchase. Two magic cores, 20,000 gold coins." The old man saw that Yi Chi really wanted to buy them, and since he was buying two at once, he paused for a moment before reacting.

  "Alright, here's the money." With that, Yi Chi waved his hand and two piles of gold coins appeared on the counter.

  "Space Ring!!" The old man stared at Yi Chi in surprise, he couldn't believe that this young man not only bought two magic cores but also had a precious space ring. It seemed that the space wasn't small, just like his own space ring, which couldn't even hold these two piles of gold coins and could only store some small-sized, valuable items, far from comparable to Yi Chi's.

  "Old man, count and see if this is 20,000 gold coins." Yi Chi put away the two magic cores and said with a smile.

  Can't help but laugh? This one round trip, 60,000 energy points turned into 137,000 energy points, a profit of 77,000 points.

  Looking at his remaining energy points, he had only risen to 151,000 points, and Yi Chi couldn't help but feel extremely delighted.

  "Who would have thought that I, an old man, would be so blind!" After sighing and muttering to himself, the old man began to divide the gold coins on the counter into several bags.

  "Little brother, this number of gold coins is correct." The old man looked up at Yi Chi and said.

  Yi Chi also smiled, and then intentionally furrowed his brow before picking up the other three magic cores. It seemed like he had made some kind of decision, as he directly put away the magic cores.

  "Little brother, you..." The old man looked at Yi Chi in surprise, this was daylight robbery!

  "Don't worry, old man, I'll pay," Yi Chi smiled and said, waving his hand again, and three piles of gold coins appeared on the counter.

  "Old man, here are 30,000 gold coins. Take a look." Yi Chi smiled as he watched the old man's eyes widen in surprise, reminding him to speak up.

  "The..." The old man stared blankly at the three piles of glittering gold coins on the counter, his face frozen in stupidity.

  "Old man?" Yi Chi waved his hand in front of the old man's face.

  "Ah!! Oh, I see." The old man regained his composure and said with a hint of embarrassment.

  "Hehe."

  Yi Chi looked at the old man counting gold coins on one side, but in his heart he was checking the message records.

  ......

  "Exchange 30,000 gold coins, deduct energy points: 90,000 points, remaining energy points: 61,000 points"

  "Absorption Energy Point: 63,000."

  "Absorption Energy Point: 58000."

  "Absorption Energy Point: 59000."

  "Remaining energy points: 241000 points."

  ......

  "There are more than 200,000 energy points again, hehe, and I can exchange them for some good stuff. " Yichi looked at the number of energy points with a satisfied smile, and began to think about what to exchange them for."

  "Little brother, that's the right amount. Do you need anything else?" The old man looked at Yi Chi again after counting the gold coins, seemingly hoping he would buy something more.

  He furrowed his brow, and Yi Chi didn't know whether he should buy these fourth-level and third-level magic cores or not. However, after seeing the guards behind him looking at him like a monster, he dispelled this idea.

  "No, I've spent all my gold coins, haha, goodbye old man." Shaking his head with a smile, Yi Chi decided to leave. He still had to accompany Rong Yu to the auction in the afternoon, and it was almost noon now, time was running out.

  "Alright then, young man, take care!" The old man said with a disappointed face, as if he was worried about not being able to keep Yi Chi, this big rich master.

  A dark alley echoed with the word "bad luck".

  Yi Chi Brought his guards and left the fourth floor.

  Before long, they left Lishi Auction House.

  ......
