After eating with everyone Shi Chenli decided to sell his spoils and buy necessary things.
So, Shi Chenli came to Jade Flow Traders.
Jade Flow Traders is one of the three best trading companies in Dragon Federation.
He entered the building and was greeted by a female attendant.
Shi Chenli directly stated his purpose.
"I want to sell some things our guild acquired some time ago."
The attendant smiled sweetly and led Shi Chenli to a small room.
When Shi Chenli said that he wanted to sell things acquired by his guild, attendant thought that its amount would be great.
So, she led him to a trading room, specifically designed for confidentiality purpose.
After sending Shi Chenli to the room, attendant invited an appraiser.
It was an old man with level 53 strength.
Old man smiled amicably, "Little brother, take out your things."
Shi Chenli also politely nodded and too out his spoils from space equipment.
Seeing the things, appraiser was stunned.
Not because these were precious resources, but that they were common, too common.
But although they were common, but their amount was large enough.
So, appraiser and attendant didn't mind much and they didn't suspect anything about the source.
Shi Chenli already build an imaginary guild, which he will use for future disguised selling.
After counting the material and calculating amount, which became 5390 F-grade energy crystals, attendant spoke.
"Young master, please give your Energy Crystal Card and we will transfer the money."
Shi Chenli linked his eyes, because he forgot about buying an Energy Crystal Card, used to store Energy Crystals.
Shi Chenli scratched back of his head and replied awkwardly, "I forgot to buy an Energy Crystal Card."
Attendant was speechless but still didn't show it on her face.
"No problem, young master."
"I will arrange an EC card for you. Consider it as a gift from Jade Flow Traders."
Shi Chenli thanked politely.
After attendant left the room to get an EC Card for Shi Chenli, Shi Chenli asked the appraiser.
"I want to buy some information from Jade Flow."
Appraiser replied with same amicable attitude, "I don't now what young master wants to know?"
"If it is some trivial information, I can give it for free."
Shi Chenli nodded and asked directly, "I want to know where can I get space related material used for storage crafting and location of a place."
Appraiser replied after a thought.
"Space related material, there are two sources in Sea City."
"One is Void stone mine owned by Sky Fold Guild."
"And the other is drop of a monster present in a dungeon"
"This dungeon is called, 'The Hidden Chamber'"
"And the monster, which can drop space related material is Void Veil Clam."
"The drop is actually a Clam Shell with built-in storage function, but its drop rate is abysmal. About 1 in a 10000 chance."
"And there is no other valuable resources in this dungeon, so no one really cares about it."
Shi Chenli nodded with a calm expression, but he was laughing in his heart.
Drop rate might be a problem for others, but for him, as long as it is not 0%, it is 100%.
Appraiser continued after hearing Shi Chenli nodding.
"As for location, I don't know what place young master needs to find."
Shi Chenli asked him about Crown Spine Mountain.
Appraiser thought for a while but didn't recall any information about Crown Spine Mountain.
Appraiser frowned and took out a Crystal from his storage.
As appraiser was looking for information, attendant came back with a Bronze Colored EC Card.
"Young master, this is a bronze level Card, capable of storing 100,000 F-grade EC. As for higher levels, amount will reduce ten times with each level increase."
Shi Chenli took the card and inspected it. After nodding satisfactorily, he thanked the attendant.
Attendant smiled and looked at appraiser. But after seeing Crystal in his hands, she retreated giving Shi Chenli privacy.
After a while appraiser looked up and replied after a hesitation.
"Young master, this information will cost 2,000 F grade EC."
Shi Chenli's lips twitched and cursed under his breath.
But helplessly transferred 2000 crystals to appraiser's card by touching both cards and willing it.
Appraiser gave him the information.
"Crown Spine Mountains are situated near Demon City, in Ten Thousand Beast Mountains."
"A well-known leveling area for those above level 30 up to rank eight."
"There are rumors that there is a rank nine beast in depths of ten thousand beast mountains."
"But Crown Spine Mountains, are present at periphery of Ten Thousand Beast Mountains."
"There is a regional boss, 'Crown Spine Ravager' a level 35 S-grade boss"
(Grade F to A are simple bosses, S-grade are regional bosses, SS-grade are Imperial Bosses, while SSS grade are monarch bosses)
Shi Chenli was startled, because in the mission it was said that Ruined Hall of Kings will open if he defeats a regional boss.
But there wasn't specifically mentioned, which boss to defeat. So, he thought that he can defeat an easier target.
But now it seems that he have to defeat this particular boss.
Appraiser continued. "It is a serpentine creature with robust scales and a crown atop its head hence named Crown spine Ravager."
"Mountains were also named after its clan."
"There are only this Boss and around thousand of its clan members residing in Crown Spine Mountains."
"There were also other miscellaneous information lie terrain, trees and possible ores or herbs, etc."
Shi Chenli nodded with some satisfaction and asked with a doubt, "You have asked me for ECs about Crown Spine Mountains but I don't know about first information's price."
Appraiser replied with a smile, "Information about these materials is not a secret, so I wont charge fees for this information."
Shi Chenli was smiling on outside but cursing in his heart.
'Damn you charged 2000 FEC for a useless information and still have audacity to give discounts.'
Shi Chenli also purchased some potions and upgraded his equipment.
He bought an F grade armor, Purple Amathyst and a black spear for use.
After completing the purchase for about 1000 FEC, Shi Chenli fled from Jade flow. He was afraid that if he stayed even for a moment longer, he will go bankrupt.
Seeing sun setting, he decided to go and grind 'The Hidden Chamber' after meeting Shi Tianlei and his fiancé.
***
Next day Shi Chenli came to The Coral Crown on agreed upon time.
When he arrived, he saw Xue Lian Hua standing to the side with a gentle smile on her face.
Beside her was a handsome man in Purple Battle Armor and a White Mask.
You say how can Shi Chenli know if a man is handsome or not if he is wearing a mask.
Shi Chenli's intuition told him.
Beside the man was a girl of about age twenty, in a while combat suit and black hair tied in a ponytail.
Just as he wanted to approach them, he saw Feng Qingyan standing to the side sheepishly.
Wen Shi Chenli saw him, he knew that Feng Qingyan was slacking off again.
He helplessly shook his head and approached the four.
After greeting Xue Lianhua introduced these two people to Shi Chenli.
"Hello, my name is Shi Chenli. Nice to meet you." Shi Chenli said while shaking hands with Shi Tianlei.
Afterwards he also shook his hand with Bai Wuying, who replied with a sweet smile.
