Chapter 166 - Chapter 166

Rex started to ask questions regarding Corentis to know the current situation of the city

According to the guard in the past Corentis was one of the 22 largest cities in the whole Continent in its peak it was a flourishing city

After the war between Humans and Demi-Humans occurred in the continent everything changed the Kingdom Corentis belonged to fell and now it comes in the territory of Azure Emperor

Although it suffered heavy loss and didn't gain much support from its new ruler Corentis was still a well-known city so it was capable of recovering on its own

Buy a few years ago when the Azure Emperor sent his men and the alliance's people to subdue the king of Misty Maze Forest they all got killed by it and everyone that had any connection from those people retreated from Corentis for fear of its retaliation

Azure Emperor also declared that Corentis does not come in his territory anymore because if the king inside the forest retaliates then its first target will be the Corentis and the one ruling it

Fortunately, the king never came out of the inner zone of the forest but by now many people have already left Corentis for fear of the beast's retaliation

The one taking care of Corentis now is only its city lord Adal Meyer although he also got the opportunity to go back to other cities and leave Corentis he chose not too because he can't see the city governed by him until now fell like that's why he is still trying to restore it like before

After hearing all this Rex now had a basic idea about the things hereafter the interrogation he undid the Mind-Arts and Hallucikinesis on the guards and walked inside before they could wake up

Rex also came to know about the currency system here he already knew that the people here use Spirit Stone as the currency but he didn't know their specific value

Spirit stone value chart:

1 Top Grade = 10 High Grade = 100 Mid Grade = 1000 Low Grade

Although this is the basic value people won't be willing to exchange lower grade spirit stone with higher grade spirit stone at the given value

Normally common people only use low-grade spirit stone, fairly rich merchants and families use mid-grade spirit stone and all the big shots like sect master's of big sect use high-grade spirit stone

As for top-grade spirit stone, they are rare and even if someone has them then they will use them to cultivate instead of currency

It was almost evening…

Rex was walking on the street to find a place to stay, he also noticed that just as the guard said the population inside Corentis is very low even when it was the biggest city Rex had ever seen he only saw one or two people passing by even after walking for quite a while

When Rex was just thinking his eyes landed on a big building, it looked cleaned and well maintained compared to other buildings. a wooden board was hanging outside of it which reads 'Myriad Auction House'

'Its an auction house.. then it means it also buys things.. its good place to gain knowledge and see what is the price of the things I made until know' Rex thought

Rex changed back to his base form then he pushed the door open and entered the auction house

In front of Rex was a great hall in the direction opposite to Rex was the redwood staircase leading to next floor, on the right side were tables and chairs which just looked like sofa and on the right was a wooden counter

An old man was sitting comfortably on the other side of the counter he put his legs on the counter and his eyes were closed it was like he was sleeping without a care in the world

"Hey old man wake up" Rex tapped the table

"What do you want," The old man said without opening his eyes

'What kind of attitude is that do he think he is some old monster character who is living low key.. let's check his details first' (Rex)

'Appraisal: name, race and cultivation stage' (Rex)

[Name: Jiang Kai

Race: Human

Cultivation stage: Earth Venerable peak stage]

'On another thought, we should respect our elders that's why I won't mind his rudeness, This old man is lucky that I am a person with very high morals' (Rex)

'This .. sir I want to sell some potions can I ask you to appraise them' Rex said as he took out one potion from every kind he had right now

Jiang Kai was a little surprised by Rex's change in attitude so he opened his eyes a little to take a peek at Rex

"Who use potions these days everyone is fond of pills.. but whatever let's have a look at what you got" Jiang Kai put down his legs from the table and leisurely took a look at the unfamiliar potion bottles on the table

Jiang Kai picked up a bottle and opened his caps the second he did that a sweet smell assaulted his nose, he looked at Rex in a little annoyance

"What is it if you want to use fake at least remove the smell from it first.. listen clearly pills and potions may have a fragrance but it's like a perfume, not food or juice and even after that they either have no taste or a very terrible taste understood" Jiang Kai said lazily and was about to put the bottle down but Rex spoke again

"Sir don't make your decision that early its a new product at least try before making a decision I certainly know how the other pills and potions works but the method used to make these potions is completely different from them and the ingredient used to make them are both rare and of high grade even if you reject them after a try you won't lose anything" Rex spoke politely

For some reason Jiang Kai's heart made him believe Rex's words, after all, how could he know about Rex's Act skill

Jiang Kai sighed he gave Rex a long look then took a sip of the potion in his hand

When the potion entered his body it showed its effect and those effects widened Jiang Kai's eyes in surprise

It was the first time he drank a potion which had a good taste and it was incredible it was like a juice made by a first-class master chief

"Amazing" Jiang Kai said in amazement then he tried all the potions one by one and each one gave him a new surprise with a new taste

"So should we talk about the price now," Rex asked with a smile

"What's the hurry first sit down," Jiang Kai said with a smile as he pointed at the chair beside Rex

Rex set on the chair

'If there are potions then it means there is also an alchemist behind him.. and even if the grade of the potion is not too high its quality is a first-class the level of impurities in it is almost non-existent even I wasn't able to detect them...

If I am right the level of the alchemist that made should be at least Alchemist Great Grand Master I need to pull him towards our side, the patriarch will be very happy if I could do that' (Jiang Kai)

"Let start from this health recovery potion.. in the market its value should be around 6 mid-grade spirit stone at most but I will buy it in 7 mid-grade spirit stone, then comes this one….." Jiang Kai started explaining his offer to Rex

Rex was dumbstruck after hearing all those prices but he still kept his serious face like he was still thinking Jiang Kai also didn't disturb him

'OMG the price he offered for one potion is more than enough to make 100 like that' (Rex)

Normally pills are very costly because there is a high chance of failure when an alchemist makes them but as the rank of alchemist increases his probability of refining a pill successfully increases but when Rex makes that potion his success rate for refining them is always 100% after he can make it once

"I agree," Rex said after some thinking

"Hehe... that's a good choice so how many of them do you have" Jiang Kai asked with a smile

'Although the minimum requirement to sell something in stock is that their number should be at least 100 in total but the potions he brought have good quality so I will accept it even if they are less than 100' Jiang Kai thought

"Not much just 300 of each.. a total of around 1500," Rex said as he waved his hand and many wooden boxes filled with small bottles appeared and got stacked together on each other in few rows

Jiang Kai looked at the potions filled boxes

There was only silence is the hall
