"Exchange spiritual stones?"
Upon hearing this, although the shopkeeper did not show any obvious contempt, he also seemed not very interested. After all, for Huitong House, the real profit is the lending business, and even deposits and withdrawals are stronger than this exchange business.
This is not to say that there is no profit in exchange business, but it is rare to have large-scale exchange business. Generally speaking, the exchange here is nothing more than taking a few spiritual stones and exchanging them for some talisman money, or vice versa.
However, although the shopkeeper was not very interested, he did not say that he would not do this business, so he asked Ye Zan: "I wonder how the guest wants to exchange it?"
"Spirit stones for spirit stones. I have some high-grade and medium-grade spirit stones here. I want to exchange them all for low-grade spirit stones." Ye Zan could certainly sense the change in the shopkeeper's attitude, even if it was only very subtle. However, he didn't care. It was just exchanging spirit stones, not going to a brothel to buy smiles, so he had to care whether the other party was enthusiastic enough.
That's right, Ye Zan doesn't plan to take out the top-grade spiritual stones and replace them, but plans to replace those high-grade or medium-grade spiritual stones with low-grade spiritual stones. In this way, even if the other party's low-grade spiritual stones do not contain top-grade soul stones, at least he will not lose the top-grade spiritual stones.
And when he heard that it was a spiritual stone exchange, the shopkeeper became even more uninterested. The exchange of spirit stones and talisman money can also make some profit in terms of exchange ratio. And exchanging spirit stones for spirit stones is like exchanging the left hand for the right hand. There is almost no profit at all.
Moreover, compared with extremely low returns, the risk is actually very high. Don’t doubt that there are fakers in this world, and the most famous one is actually the Xuanzhen Taoist of Yuqing Sect. Use fake spiritual stones in exchange for real spiritual stones. Since the establishment of Huitong Company, this kind of thing has almost never stopped happening.
As the saying goes, "The Tao is as high as the devil." Although Huitong Company has a method to identify the authenticity of spiritual stones, it is still inevitable that there will be times when it is tricked.
In fact, in a sense, the spirit stone in Ye Zan's hand can be considered a forgery. However, these spiritual stones of his are no worse than real spiritual stones.
"Then, please ask the guest officer to take out the spirit stones. As long as they are identified by us and there is no problem with your spirit stones, they can be exchanged according to the proportion." The shopkeeper said as he took out one for identifying the spirit stones. of magic weapon.
The shopkeeper's magic weapon is much more advanced than the little black fat man's compass. He must have suffered too much from fake spiritual stones, so he can only continue to improve his identification skills.
"Right here?" Ye Zan asked. It's not that he asked for VIP treatment, but he had a lot of high-grade and medium-grade spiritual stones. Could he just pile them all up? Moreover, it would be too time-consuming for the other party to appraise each piece piece by piece.
"Haha, sir, please forgive me, but the exchange of spiritual stones can only be done here." The shopkeeper smiled, not sarcastically, but somewhat disapproving. In his opinion, even if the other party is not a liar, it is just a matter of a few spiritual stones. What can be delayed
Ye Zan also smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then please ask the shopkeeper to hurry up."
After saying this, Ye Zan began to take out the spiritual stones from the Qiankun Ring and put them on the counter. It's not that he wants to show off or anything, it's just that the countertop is too narrow. If he were to release it directly from the Qiankun Ring, a lot of it would probably roll down.
Ye Zan took out ten middle-grade spiritual stones and put them on the counter. The shopkeeper also picked up the magic weapon and was about to start identifying them. However, before any action could be taken, Ye Zan did not stop and took out ten more high-grade spiritual stones, and then ten mid-grade spiritual stones...
Not long after, a row of top- and middle-grade spiritual stones were piled up on the narrow countertop, just like the Great Wall. Each of these spiritual stones emitted spiritual light, making the entire shop shine brightly.
"This... this..." The shopkeeper had already froze there, staring blankly at the spiritual stone in front of him.
"Please hurry up, shopkeeper, I have other things to do." Ye Zan knocked on the counter and said to the shopkeeper inside.
"Oh!" The shopkeeper finally came to his senses, glanced at Ye Zan, then at the spiritual stone on the counter, and said, "Sir, can you put this spiritual stone away first, and let's move to another place."
Just kidding, there are so many spiritual stones piled here, and the shopkeeper needs to identify them one by one. This may not be completed until tomorrow, so don't do anything else in these two days.
Ye Zan also had a funny look on his face, waved his hand and collected all the spirit stones, and said: "It made the shopkeeper laugh. This is my first time to exchange spirit stones, so I was a little reckless."
"Haha, whatever you said, it was all my negligence! Please come here, sir." The shopkeeper apologized and walked out from behind the counter, taking Ye Zan to a room next to him.
This is probably considered a VIP room.
Once inside, Ye Zan was allowed to sit, and the shopkeeper also called someone to make fragrant tea.
Seeing that Ye Zan had no intention of blaming him, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can take out the spirit stone now. I identified the spirit stone earlier to avoid wasting your guest's time."
Ye Zan nodded, and this time he touched the Qiankun Ring directly, and immediately the pile of spiritual stones he had put away appeared on a large table next to him.
Then, the shopkeeper called a few people, each holding a magic weapon for identifying spiritual stones, gathered around the table, and started to get busy. Instead, the shopkeeper took some time off, came to sit down next to Ye Zan, and asked with a smile: "Should all of the guest officer's spiritual stones be replaced with low-grade spiritual stones, or should some of them be replaced, and the rest be saved in this account?" ?”
The number of these high-grade and medium-grade spiritual stones is not very large, only a few hundred pieces. However, if they were all replaced with low-grade spiritual stones, it would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. What are you going to do with so many low-grade spiritual stones? This is something that even the shopkeeper can't figure out, so he asked this question.
And Ye Zan came to exchange the spirit stones to find the best quality essence stones. Naturally, he would not only exchange part of them, so he said: "I want to change them all into low-grade spirit stones. I wonder what difficulties the shopkeeper has?"
"Oh, that's not possible. Our store can still get these low-grade spiritual stones." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
However, at this moment, the people who were identifying the spirit stones over there couldn't help but make a sound of surprise, which immediately attracted the shopkeeper's attention.
"What, is there any problem?" The shopkeeper stood up and came to several people and asked. He was not overwhelmed by so many spirit stones. Even though his attitude towards Ye Zan became so enthusiastic, he still felt nervous in his heart.
"Back to the shopkeeper, there's nothing wrong with this question. It's just that these spirit stones feel a bit strange." One of them stood up and replied with a frown.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately frowned. He glanced at Ye Zan over there, turned back and asked: "If there is a problem, there is a problem. If there is no problem, there is no problem. What do you mean by this weirdness."
"Well, shopkeeper, you might as well come and see for yourself. There is no problem with the identification of these spiritual stones, but there is one thing that I can't understand. That is, the amount of spiritual energy in spiritual stones of the same quality is actually the same." The man stepped aside and explained to the shopkeeper.
You must know that this spiritual stone is a consumable item, and the spiritual energy will be consumed. The division of each grade is only based on a range of spiritual energy. In other words, for the same mid-grade spiritual stones, some may have reached the upper limit of spiritual energy, while others may have only reached the lower limit.
Just like it is impossible to find two identical leaves in the world, it is also very difficult to find two spiritual stones with the same amount of spiritual energy.
However, these spiritual stones of Ye Zan were all re-polymerized using Yuan Stone powder, and they were already filled with spiritual energy. In other words, the amount of spiritual energy in these spiritual stones is generally the same for each grade, just like the power of a battery.
Of course, if there is a tool that can be accurate to an extremely fine level, it may be possible to see the difference between them. However, the identification tools currently used by Huitong Company are obviously not up to that level, so it seems that the spiritual stones of various grades have exactly the same amount of spiritual energy.
After looking at a few spiritual stones, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes, returned to Ye Zan, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Sir, there seems to be something wrong with these spiritual stones of yours."
Ye Zan frowned, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked unhappily: "Is it fake?"
"Fake, it can't be said to be fake, but we can't turn a blind eye to this issue. After all, the exchange amount is quite large. If there is any problem, I don't dare to take the risk here." The shopkeeper sat next to Ye Zan, There seemed to be something else in the voice.
"Since it's not fake, then redeem it for me. If you can't redeem it, then I won't waste the shopkeeper's time." Ye Zan vaguely noticed something, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.
The shopkeeper smiled, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Don't worry, sir, this is actually not impossible. Although it is impossible for me to redeem it for you, there are still some ways. , it can help the guest officer, but the exchange ratio is somewhat different. "
Hearing this, Ye Zan basically understood what the other party meant. The other party was using this excuse to make a profit from it. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Banks in ancient China had so-called account managers who took advantage of customers' trust in the bank and used various means to defraud customers of their money.
As for the shopkeeper, although he does not have the name of a financial management fund, if the amount of exchange is so large, if the ratio can be reduced by one point, it can be regarded as a considerable amount of foreign wealth. Moreover, that's it for the real exchange. If some tricks are played in the middle, it is not impossible to swallow all the spiritual stones. (To be continued.)
