"How should I address you?" Qin Chen could tell at a glance that this woman was a high-ranking member of the Wan Gu Lou, not an ordinary maid. It seemed that because he was staying in a VIP room, they sent a high-ranking member to him, which was likely a rule of the Wan Gu Lou.
"You can call me Ruo Rui," the woman dressed in luxurious attire smiled. "I am the manager of the Wan Gu Lou. I heard you want some information, and I am responsible for providing it. What would you like to know, or what assistance do you need?"
Clearly, this woman had already gathered information about Qin Chen from a few young people, showing the respectful treatment Wan Gu Lou offers its guests by not approaching recklessly.
"I am looking for some information, but before that, I want to do some business with your Wan Gu Lou. Do you deal in large transactions?" Qin Chen asked.
"Mr. Qin, you must be joking," Ruo Rui laughed, her smile as radiant as a flower, yet not at all discomforting. "We at Wan Gu Lou deal in all sorts of trades. Many top-tier Earth Saints, and even Heaven Saints, entrust their secret items to us for trade. We have several guarantees: First, any treasures traded here will not cause any leaks. The owner's identity will never be exposed. Additionally, we can trade any treasures, not just treasures but other businesses as well."
"For example, if Mr. Qin wants to assassinate a Heaven Saint, as long as the price is right, our Wan Gu Lou can take on the task," Ruo Rui said confidently with a smile.
"I don't need anyone assassinated," Qin Chen shook his head. "I have no vendettas; I prefer to cultivate alone. I want to sell some treasures to acquire an Ancient Saint Vein to advance to Heaven Saint."
"Oh? Mr. Qin also wants to advance to Heaven Saint? The Ancient Saint Vein needed is no small amount. This can't be solved by selling a few treasures," Ruo Rui's face showed a hint of surprise as she looked at Qin Chen, realizing she couldn't gauge his true cultivation level. She was shocked but could sense that Qin Chen wasn't a Heaven Saint yet. However, the deep aura he exuded made her uneasy, a woman's intuition that made her regard Qin Chen as an extraordinary Earth Saint.
Across the continent, many extraordinary Earth Saints strive to advance to Heaven Saint, like carp crossing the river, countless in number. But in truth, throughout time, very few have succeeded in becoming Heaven Saints. The difficulty is evident.
Some people can take a small step at the last moment and gain a trace of Heaven Saint aura, becoming a half-step Heaven Saint, surpassing over ninety-nine percent of extraordinary Earth Saints.
Even for her, breaking through to Heaven Saint is extremely difficult, with no hope in sight for now.
Qin Chen claiming he wanted to break through to Heaven Saint was something she was somewhat skeptical about.
"I obtained some Saint Weapons. Miss Ruo Rui, could you appraise them for me and see their value?" Qin Chen casually tossed out a storage ring.
When Ruo Rui opened it, her eyes widened in shock as she saw a dazzling array of treasures inside, each more impressive than the last.
"What? So many?" Ruo Rui was taken aback. The storage ring contained so many treasures that even she was amazed. Most importantly, there were quite a few extraordinary Earth-level treasures among them.
These treasures were naturally obtained from Xue Wudao, Du Luo Xin, Gu Liu Shen, Ni Feng, and the leader of the Wukong organization, along with the treasures from the three major cities and the Soulfire Family's ancestor, Li Luo.
There were countless treasures, numbering in the dozens.
"This... this..." Ruo Rui's heart was in turmoil. Such a vast number of extraordinary Earth-level treasures were astonishing, even for her, accustomed to big deals. Moreover, among them were clearly some treasures from the Soulfire Family.
Extraordinary Earth-level treasures are currently one of the hottest commodities on the market because the number of extraordinary Earth Saints is the highest in places like Yunzou, outnumbering even Heaven Saints.
