Chapter 674: Chapter 266: The Silver Rat’s Surprise, Inheritance Jade Scroll

Finding Silver Rat wasn’t difficult.

Xiao Chen bypassed the staircase and continued toward the back of the cave, where he soon saw a table set up before him.

A cultivator wearing a silver rat-head mask sat formally behind the table.

A thick ledger lay on the table before him.

"You must be Silver Rat. I have a couple of items to offload. What’s the procedure?"

Xiao Chen directly took out the two Storage Rings he had acquired and placed them on the table.

’Aside from the Spiritual Artifacts being difficult to sell, the Storage Rings used by True Inheritors are a hassle in themselves.’

Silver Rat didn’t answer directly.

He first reached out, picked up the Storage Rings, and inspected the inscriptions on them.

After confirming that the secret marks on them were authentic, he immediately looked up and sized up Xiao Chen once more.

’Someone who can produce items like these is no simple character.’

However, Silver Rat wasn’t flustered. After all, for the Black Market to operate, it naturally had its own backing.

He countered, "That depends on how you want to handle them."

"If you want to sell them yourself, you can freely choose from any of the empty stalls outside. We only charge a stall fee of one thousand Spirit Stones."

"Whatever you end up selling them for is your own business."

As he spoke, Silver Rat’s tone shifted. "However, if you’re looking to offload something more valuable..."

He gently shook the Storage Rings in his hand. "Then I would recommend you participate in the group exchange later tonight."

"First, it’s hard to authenticate the items out there, so many of our peers are either unwilling to pay a high price or will use the opportunity to haggle you down."

"Second, more people will arrive later, making it easier to close a deal and fetch a higher price."

Silver Rat was telling the truth on both counts.

Xiao Chen had already noticed that not many cultivators had arrived yet, and most of them were only at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation.

’If I set up my own stall, I’m afraid I’d be lucky to sell even a few items all night.’

So he pressed, "And how does the group exchange work?"

The corners of Silver Rat’s eyes crinkled in a smile. "If you join the group exchange, you just hand the items over to us, and we’ll take care of everything."

"However, regardless of the final price in Spirit Stones..."

"We’ll split it seventy-thirty!"

’Damn, he’s got some nerve.’

’A legitimate auction house would normally just take a five-percent commission.’

’A thirty-percent cut is a full six times more expensive!’

’Wait, not necessarily.’

"A seventy-thirty split? Who gets the seventy percent?"

Xiao Chen decided to clear this up first.

"Haha, you’re joking, my friend. Naturally, you take the larger share. Seventy for you, thirty for me."

Silver Rat thought for a moment, then took the initiative to add, "And don’t think it’s too much."

"After all, the kind of items brought here for sale aren’t exactly easy to find a buyer for elsewhere."

"Instead of wasting time and energy running all over the place..."

"...it’s better if we cooperate. Don’t you agree?"

’He did have a point.’

’Secondhand goods sell at a discount anyway,’ Xiao Chen mused. ’Even though the commission here is a bit high, it’s definitely better than running all over the place myself.’

’Besides, my time is valuable, too.’

He nodded. "Alright, then."

With that, he took out everything he wanted to sell.

First were the two Small Array Banners for an Interference Illusion Array, followed by a total of seven Spiritual Artifacts, and then the Cangming Heavy Water he had acquired.

There was also the *Thunderous Mountains and Rivers Map* he had obtained from Wang Ruiyang.

And finally, a complete set of talisman-making tools.

These were all items Xiao Chen had accumulated over a long time; they were too conspicuous to sell out in the open.

This was the perfect opportunity to get rid of them all at once.

Watching him, Silver Rat’s pupils involuntarily contracted.

’At first, I thought he was probably the chosen representative for a group of Tribulation Cultivators who had robbed and killed a Sword Pavilion True Inheritor.’

When he saw the two Small Array Banners, he thought, ’Just as I expected.’

But then, Silver Rat saw the Cangming Heavy Water.

’That’s a specialty of the Cangming Immortal Sect, a top-tier Tier Three Spiritual Liquid.’

’You robbed disciples from the Cangming Immortal Sect, too?’

’Such audacity!’

Before Silver Rat could finish marveling to himself, he saw the *Thunderous Mountains and Rivers Map*.

The silver mask hid his look of utter shock, but it couldn’t conceal his inner astonishment.

’A few months ago, the Wang Family used its connections with the Clarity Sect to make inquiries everywhere, trying to track down this very map.’

’The incident caused quite a stir at the time, so of course Silver Rat had heard about it.’

He once again sized up Xiao Chen.

’Good heavens, you did this, too?’

’From south to north, from worldly sects to Hidden Dao Lineages, you just rob anyone you can get your hands on, is that it?’

*Hiss!*

Silver Rat couldn’t help but gasp internally. ’Are Tribulation Cultivators all this daring nowadays?’

’The world has really gotten chaotic these past couple of years!’

But he worked in the Black Market and had seen all sorts of Spiritual Objects.

Thus, he quickly composed himself and began appraising the Spiritual Objects one by one to verify their authenticity.

"Whew... The items are all authentic. Please be sure to keep the corresponding Spirit Contracts safe."

Silver Rat took up a brush, wrote out twelve Spirit Contracts, and handed them over. "After the group exchange concludes, we will only use these Spirit Contracts to settle the payment in Spirit Stones."

"By the way, this set of talisman-making tools is exceptionally exquisite. I’m afraid it will be difficult to sell."

"If you’re willing, how about I offer you this much and buy it from you directly?"

Silver Rat raised two fingers and wiggled them.

’Just the five Talisman Brushes alone are worth more than twenty thousand Spirit Stones, so that gesture must mean two hundred thousand.’

Xiao Chen considered it. ’If that’s the price, it seems pretty good.’

’In theory, two hundred thousand Spirit Stones definitely wouldn’t be enough to custom-order a new set like this.’

’But it’s true that selling something like this as a complete set is difficult.’
