Ye Li smiled awkwardly and could only say casually: "I just want to visit the nearby counties. I don't plan to go too deep into the martial arts world, nor will I cause trouble. It shouldn't be too dangerous."
Zhang Qiongsheng could also see that Ye Li seemed to have made up his mind to leave, and he knew that it was useless for him to say anything more, so he nodded and said, "I understand.
By the way, before the young lady left, she asked me to give you this silver VIP token. The gambling fight you won for us in the gambling arena doubled our Zhao family’s business in Beihuang City, so this token is our family’s thanks to you.
There are four levels of tokens issued by my Zhao family. The lowest level is the bronze VIP token, which offers a 10% discount in our store.
The silver VIP order the lady gave you can enjoy a 20% discount, the gold VIP order can enjoy a 30% discount, and the highest level purple gold VIP order can enjoy a 40% discount.
And with this token, you will be our VIP in any Zhao family store, and when you are in trouble, you can also seek a certain degree of help from the store.
I think this token will be of some help to you in your future endeavors."
As Zhang Qiongsheng spoke, he took out a silver triangular token from his bosom. In the middle of the token was written the word "Zhao", and it was covered with rune marks. It should be used to prevent others from forging it.
Ye Li did not expect that the other party would give him a VIP token. For a first-class chamber of commerce like the Zhao family, the use of this token is not only in terms of discounts on purchases, but also as a proof of the friendly relationship between the two parties.
Ye Li stretched out his hand and took the palm-sized token very solemnly, saying: "Thank you, Senior Zhang and Wanyin. Wanyin and I had an agreement for the gambling fight. I also took the reward pills. I didn't expect there would be such a valuable token."
Zhang Qiongsheng smiled and patted Ye Li, saying: "I know the agreement of your gambling fight, how can a mere heaven-level elixir be enough to pay you.
We almost lost all our business in Beihuang City before. The Zhu family made a huge bet that time. If we lost, we would basically have to withdraw from Beihuang City.
The current situation is that we occupy two-thirds of the business share in Beihuang City, while the Zhu family only has one-third left. Not only did they give up all the profits they made before, but they also lost half of it to us.
Just accept this token with peace of mind. Every VIP token must be reviewed by the family. The lady just nominated you. The reason you passed the review in the end is because you really helped us a lot."
Having said that, Ye Li naturally wouldn't be polite anymore. He nodded and put the token into the Qiankun bag in his arms.
“Okay, Ye Li, I still have some official business to take care of. If you want to buy or sell something, just go find Xiao Li over there.
He knows you have a silver VIP token, so he will give you a discount on the price regardless of whether you are buying or selling."
As Zhang Qiongsheng spoke, he pointed to a slightly plump middle-aged man not far away, indicating to Ye Li that he was Xiao Li.
Ye Li hurriedly said, "Senior Zhang, please make yourself at your own convenience. If I need anything, I will go and talk to Brother Li over there. I dare not disturb you from your official duties."
Zhang Qiongsheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave first. I'd like to wish you a smooth journey out there."
Hearing Zhang Qiongsheng's words, Ye Li hurriedly clasped his fists again to express his gratitude, and finally watched the other party go upstairs and leave.
After Zhang Qiongsheng left, Ye Li also came to the middle-aged man named Li.
The other party knew Ye Li's identity, and smiled, saying, "Mr. Ye, I wonder if there is anything you need. You are our Silver VIP guest, and we at Treasure Hunt will do our best to meet your needs."
Ye Li scratched his head, feeling that the other party was being a little too formal, and he was somewhat not used to it, but he still said: "I just want to sell some external talismans, and buy another thousand talisman papers and the corresponding talisman ink.
In addition, I also need slightly better healing pills and pills to restore souls and spirits, as well as some auxiliary special flags."
After hearing what Ye Li said, the other party nodded and said, "Please give me the external talisman first, and I will call an appraiser to appraise it for you."
Ye Li had sold external talismans here many times, so he had no doubts and directly took out the remaining three hundred or so Earth Fire Spring Talismans.
After the other party took the external talisman he handed over, he immediately called out the appraiser.
The appraiser was already familiar with Ye Li, and when he saw him, he said, "Brother Ye is here again. Is the external talisman also of heaven grade this time?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "Hello, Master Hu. This time it is also a Heaven-level Earth Fire Spring, but I haven't counted how many there are in total."
Master Hu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I have to check the level of the external symbols anyway, so I'll settle the amount at the same time."
As he spoke, he had already taken the external talismans and started to examine them. In just one stick of incense, he had finished identifying all of them and said, “Brother Ye, you have a total of 312 external talismans this time, and they are all heaven-level talismans.
As for the price, according to regulations, the purchase price of a heavenly-grade nine-character attack talisman is twenty-eight low-grade spirit stones.
So the total here is... 7,800 low-grade spirit stones, which is 78 medium-grade spirit stones. What do you think, Brother Ye?"
Ye Li knew the price, and the other party would not make a random offer. Just as he was about to nod, the middle-aged man surnamed Li suddenly said, "Wait a moment, Mr. Hu, Mr. Ye.
Mr. Hu, Young Master Ye is now a Silver VIP, so we need to add 20% to the purchase price for him.
I counted, the total... should be ninety-three middle-grade spirit stones plus sixty low-grade spirit stones."
Appraiser Hu obviously did not expect Ye Li to become a VIP, and not even the lowest level Bronze VIP.
One should know that Silver VIPs are generally patriarchs of certain families that have close cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce. It was indeed a surprise for Ye Li to become a Silver VIP with the ordinary identity of a child of a small family.
"Mr. Ye, please forgive me for my mistake. You are a VIP, so the purchase price should be increased by 20%."
After knowing Ye Li's identity, the appraiser named Hu no longer dared to call him "younger brother" and spoke in a much more polite manner.
His behavior made Ye Li feel a little uncomfortable, and he said, "Master Hu, you don't have to be so polite all of a sudden, I'm not used to it.
You should just call me Brother Ye. When we first met, I wasn’t a VIP.
In addition, I am very satisfied with the purchase price just now. I also need one thousand external talismans and corresponding talisman ink. "
After hearing what Ye Li said, the appraiser surnamed Hu shook his head and said, "Mr. Ye, our Chamber of Commerce has rules. I dare not address you carelessly. Please forgive me."
Although he said this, the look he gave Ye Li was more friendly. After all, Ye Li did not change his attitude because of his identity.
