Temporarily ignoring the second part of the Thundergod's slash in front of him, Shun Long was still holding Liu Mei's hand as he took a few steps forward and quickly appeared in front of the small counter that was just a few meters away from him.

Liu Mei was surprised by Shun Long's sudden actions, as she looked at him for a second before following his field of view, as she turned her gaze towards the silver-colored musical instrument in the counter in front of her with a slightly confused look on her face.

She didn't understand why Shun Long was suddenly interested in this musical instrument. However, seeing that his focus was still on the glass case in front of him, Liu Mei didn't ask anything as she kept staring at the item inside, trying to figure out if there was anything special about it.

Shun Long's eyes had turned extremely deep, almost as if he was examining intently the silver-colored musical instrument in front of him.

Finally, after staring at it for more than a minute, he slowly lowered his gaze to look at the words that were written below the instrument instead

''Silverbark guqin.

Price: 70.000 sect points.''

The introduction written below the guqin was extremely simple, only listing the guqin's name as well as its price, but it still made Shun Long's lips curve up into a smile after reading it.

Although the price of the guqin was considered exorbitant, with just a glance at the look on Shun Long's face, Liu Mei immediately realized that Shun Long was planning to purchase this thing if it was possible.

At the same time, the young man behind the counter who was obviously not an outer disciple judging from his robes but a follower of a disciple of the sect instead, was surprised to see someone stand in front of the counter and stare at the item inside for so long.

He had worked here for a long time but he hadn't seen anyone stare at the silver guqin with such an interested look as this new disciple in front of him. Usually, everyone who took a look at the price of the guqin would escape as far away as possible when they actually saw it.

After all, 70.000 sect points wasn't a price that any outer disciple would normally be willing to pay for a single musical instrument. This price had already exceeded the average price of the first and second parts of a Saint low-grade cultivation technique or martial skill in the Golden Treasures Hall!

Only the wealthiest of disciples would be willing to pay such a price for their own musical instruments, and those disciples already had their own instruments and didn't need to purchase new ones.

Staring at the unconcealed smile on Shun Long's face, Liu Mei was the first one to break the silence a few moments later as she asked

''Long-ge, are you going to buy this guqin?''

It was natural that Liu Mei would be surprised by Shun Long's sudden interest in the guqin. After all, forget about the guqin, in the last 3 years, Shun Long hadn't shown an interest in any musical instrument before.

At the same time, the young man behind the counter scoffed in his heart when he heard this. 

He was going to buy the guqin? In the last 2 months that he had been working on the Golden Treasures Hall, he had already realized how few disciples would be able to afford to spend 70.000 sect points so easily for something like this....

It was obvious that these 2 disciples in front of him were ignorant new disciples who didn't know the importance of sect points just yet.

Nodding his head at Liu Mei, Shun Long turned his attention towards the young man behind the counter in front of him, and ignoring the weird look on his face he then asked in a curious tone

''Is there a place that can I sell pills or other items in this place?''

Without a change in his expression, the young man behind the counter pointed at a large counter a small distance away from him, where 2 young men and a young woman were standing behind it, before saying

''If you have anything that you want to sell for sect points, you can try selling it there. However, the Golden Treasures Hall won't buy things that it already has a large excess of like middle-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pills' or similar pills, nor will it buy any weapons below the rank 3 gold grade!''

Nodding his head, Shun Long walked towards the counter in the distance with Liu Mei in hand, and seeing that there was no queue, he walked towards the young man on the right of the counter.

The young man who was obviously also a follower of some disciple had a professional smile on his face when he saw Shun Long and Liu Mei, almost as if he was seeing 2 customers who had stepped into his own shop, before he said smilingly

''How can I help you?''

Waving his hand, Shun Long took out 3 different pill bottles from his spatial ring and said seriously

''I wish to sell some rank 5 pills!''

The young man behind the counter had the same, professional smile on his face when he heard this, and without any urgency in his tone he said calmly

''Please allow me to have a look.''

Nodding his head, Shun Long placed the 3 pill bottles in his hands on the counter in front of him, allowing the young man behind it to inspect them.

Even if the young man in front of Shun Long wasn't an alchemist himself, it was obvious that he had certain knowledge of alchemy, as he carefully opened the first bottle and tilted it slightly, allowing a single pill to roll on the counter in front of him before he started to sniff it.

The young man's eyes widened slightly at that moment, as he said without any hesitation

''A top-grade rank 5 'Qi replenishing pill'!''
