Chapter 118 Ores Sale
The next day
"Thank You, Sir for doing business with us. Please Come again next time."
At the entrance of the Zhou Family Treasure Pavilion, a Zhou Family foundation-building cultivator smiled and bowed to Luis and Oliver.
"It was pleasant doing business with you, i will return next time."
Luis returned the greeting and said modestly.
The Zhou family foundation-building cultivator nodded and said in a polite tone, "Please take care, both of you."
Luis and Oliver walked out of the gate of Zhou Treasure Pavilion.
Not long after the two left.
A young cultivator in the store came forward and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, why are you so polite and bowing to those mere small family cultivators? Wouldn't it be a loss of dignity for our Zhou family?"
Who knew that when the foundation-building cultivator heard this, he glanced at the young cultivator of the Zhou family, frowned and said: "Guanghua, you must remember that when doing business in Zhou Main City, substance is more important than appearance.
The two cultivators just now were indeed not very skilled, one is at Foundation Building, and the other was only at the late stage of Qi Refining. But do you know how much profit this business of theirs can bring to my Zhou Family Treasure Pavilion?"
The young monk named Zhao Guanghua shook his head in confusion.
The Zhao family foundation-building cultivator held up four fingers and said, "A profit of more than Seventy thousand spirit stones!"
"More than 70,000 Spirit Stones!!!!!!", Guanghua shouted in disbelief.
He had not expected that just two cultivators from small family could have such a lucrative fortune.
The fact that the Zhou Family Treasure Pavilion was able to earn a profit of 70,000 spirit stones proved that these two had at least negotiated a business deal worth millions of spirit stones with the Zhou Family Treasure Pavilion.
"They sold Refined Gold at price of 280 spiritual stones per catty. They sold us 3572 catties(2143.2 kg) in average we will make profit of 20 when it is sold to market."
"So much"
"So, when doing business in Zhou Main City, you can't judge people by appearance, and you can't judge the size of the business based solely on the customer's strength and family.
We have millions of cultivators in Guang'an Prefecture, among which there are at least tens of thousands of foundation-building cultivators. Among so many foundation-building cultivators, how many can have the wealth of these two people?
Besides, do you know the background of these two people? "
"What the uncle means is..."
The Zhou family foundation-building cultivator said unhappily,
"What I mean is that you should be more discerning in the future and don't bring the bad habit of looking down on others that you acquired in your family to the Zhou family treasure pavilion, otherwise I will definitely give you a failing grade in your training assessment."
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Zhou Guanghua's face turned pale.
Although the Zhou family is a well-known strong family in Guang'an Prefecture, because it is a large family, the number of cultivators in the family is also extremely large.
For a Qi-refining cultivator like him who came out to gain experience, if he failed the training assessment, the impact on his personal future would be devastating.
In this regard, the practices of all major families are almost identical.
It is true that a cultivator's spiritual root qualifications are very important, but compared to spiritual root qualifications, character is more important to a family's children.
A cultivator with a bad character, even if he is cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Stage, will not only be unable to bring much help to the family, but may also bring about a devastating disaster.
There are countless examples of children from cheating families who, due to their bad character and causing trouble, brought disaster to the family.
Therefore.
The longer the family's heritage, the more emphasis it places on cultivating the character of its children.
When it comes to cultivating the character of family members, the Yang family, the Wu family, and even the self-confident Zhou family, have done a good job.

Walking outside the Zhou family treasure pavilion.
Luis and Oliver were talking telepathically. This is the new technique they learned from Cultivation World.
"Uncle, are they following"
"No"
"Then, it's good"
"Uncle, is there really huge formation in this city?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Do you think i will lie to you, don't open your Vortex and bring others directly in this city or you will be detected."
"Hmm, i will go to near waters and bring then. This is the same as the cage formation in Fantasy World."
"Fuck that world. This world is much better."
Luis mouth twitched slightly when he heard Oliver complain.
Luis thought for a moment and said,
"I heard that Zhou's Auction House in the core commercial area of Zhou Main City holds a small auction at the beginning of every month, where they auction off various rare materials."
"Yes"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the auction house tomorrow to have a look." Enjoy new adventures from empire
Hearing this, Oliver laughed and said, "Look at how impatient you are. Zhou's Auction House only holds an auction at the beginning of the month. If we count the days now, there should be three days left."
"You go to the port and bring everyone here."
"Yes, Uncle."
-----
Three Days Later
The group of Luis and his Knights arrived at Zhou's Auction House.
Zhou's Auction House is located in the most prosperous area of the core business district of Zhou Main City.
The words "every inch of land here is worth a lot of money" are not enough to describe how precious it is.
Because the land and shops in this entire area belong exclusively to the Zhou family.
Zhou's Auction House is the most prominent one in this area.
Luis looked up and saw a group of quaint multi-story attic buildings standing in front of him.
These attics occupy a very large area. Luis estimated that they are at least tens of thousands of square meters. At a glance, the entire street is occupied by this auction house.
Even in the entire core business district, Zhou's Auction House is a landmark building.
"Zhou's Auction House has a total of twelve small auction houses. The largest auction hall in the middle is usually not open to the public. It is only open to the public during major auctions."
Oliver who has stayed here for more than a month explained.
"We are going to Auction House No. 6 today."
After searching for a while, Arthur finally found a plaque on an attic with a capital number six written on the left side.
"It's right here."
When he saw the destination, Luis smiled.
"Taoist friends, please stay!"
The group were about to enter the room, but were blocked by a Cultivator from the Zhou family who was waiting at the door.
Seeing this, Luis frowned and said, "Daoist, what do you mean?"
Who knew that the Zhou family cultivator was not surprised at all and said, "Is this your first time to visit my Zhou family auction house?"
"What does this have to do with you blocking our way?"
Xiao Wei asked back.
"You misunderstood, fellow Daoist. This auction house has formulated a set of rules for verifying identities in order to prevent malicious bidding that would cause the treasure to be lost."
"Identification?"
The group looked at each other, and Luis asked curiously, "I wonder how this identity verification is done?"
"It's simple. We just need to check whether the amount of spirit stones in the storage bags reaches 10,000 spirit stones, and then we can verify their identities."
Hearing this, everyone understood.
Luis smiled and thought of his previous life, this is capital verification.
Immediately, a man with a rough face walked past them, but the Zhou cultivator did not stop him at all.
Arthur couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you stop him?"
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. That person is a Foundation Establishment Senior. How could he possibly bid maliciously?"
Seeing the Zhou family cultivator's behavior, a small smile appeared in everyone faces.
"Father, don't restrain your strength show it." Arthur poked his father and said.
Oliver immediately showed his aura specially crushing it towards those two guards, "This is our identification."
Immediately, the guards expression changed and they respectfully stepped aside and said,
"My two Taoists, please!"
Luis and other nodded and entered the Zhou Auction House.
Outside those two guards sighed and began talking amongst each other.
"Living is becoming harder and harder for us humble cultivators."
"If you are foundation builder why are hiding yourself, show it proudly."
"yeah! Some of them love to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger."
"Thinking of this i remember a incident which happened 3 months ago. A foundation Builder was acting a beggar in Casual Cultivator Market. He played tricks and stole a lot of spiritual stones from Qi Refiners."
"Sigh! Life is becoming harder and harder for us humble cultivators. Cant even speak rudely to others, who knows that man might be a Golden Core Cultivator"
