"This is a thermos, capable of keeping hot water warm for two days. It's priced at just three hundred thousand spirit coins. This alloy dagger is a product of our Dragon Country's advanced technology, costing four hundred and fifty thousand spirit coins. Camphor oil can repel insects and sells for fifty thousand spirit coins. This floral water is priced at two hundred thousand spirit coins. Fourteen minutes and three seconds remain until the next price increase. (Elvish)"
"Hehehe, these items you're describing sound very effective. By the way, what is the use of this floral water? Why is it priced at two hundred thousand spirit coins? (Elvish)" Aisha Wenisa asked.
"It's akin to a luxurious perfume. If you're interested, I could let you try it. (Elvish)" Chu Shi said, opening the floral water and handing it to Aisha Wenisa.
Aisha Wenisa took the floral water and sniffed it.
A fragrance, entirely unlike anything in this world, entered Aisha Wenisa's nostrils.
Aisha Wenisa's face lit up with joy.
"Floral water, I'll buy it! (Elvish)" Aisha Wenisa tucked the floral water into her pocket.
Then, Aisha Wenisa produced a stack of spirit coins.
Su Han took the stack and examined it. The spirit coins were made of some kind of mineral. They were as thick as bank cards, twenty in total. Elvish script was written on them. It seemed that the Elvish script indicated that each card represented ten thousand spirit coins.
"Wow, these spirit coins are quite thick," Su Han commented.
"Of course they're thick! They're denominations of ten thousand! It seems the City Lord didn't skimp on charges. And the City Lord's daughter can produce this much spirit coin at once," Ye Fan remarked.
After obtaining the bottle of perfume, Aisha Wenisa was delighted. She then shifted her gaze to the bottle of camphor oil.
"The floral water smells so good. This camphor oil must smell wonderful too! (Elvish)" Aisha Wenisa happily picked up the bottle of camphor oil.
This was an oversized bottle of camphor oil. Standard camphor oil on the market was usually 1.5 milliliters, but this enlarged bottle contained 15 milliliters.
Aisha Wenisa picked up the bottle, opened it, and sniffed. A strong aroma assaulted her nostrils.
"What a foul smell. It's even worse than the herbs I eat. Why do both this camphor oil and the floral water have insect-repelling effects, yet their scents are so different? (Elvish)"
Aisha Wenisa put the bottle of camphor oil down.
Next, Aisha Wenisa's gaze fell upon the alloy dagger.
"Is this dagger truly one of your treasures? Let me try it! (Elvish)" Aisha Wenisa inquired.
Chu Shi handed the alloy dagger to Aisha Wenisa, allowing her to test it.
Aisha Wenisa held the dagger, examined it, and said, "There's no magic on this dagger at all. Is this truly what your Dragon Country's advanced technology can produce? If so, your Dragon Country's advanced technology is quite poor! (Elvish)"
"Well, not only magical technology can be considered advanced. Pure technological prowess is also formidable. (Elvish)" Chu Shi replied.
Aisha Wenisa took out the dagger she carried.
The two daggers clashed.
Aisha Wenisa's dagger was directly nicked by the alloy dagger.
"Oh! Your dagger is indeed quite powerful. It actually chipped my enchanted dagger! I see, your alloy dagger is truly formidable! (Elvish)" Aisha Wenisa's words were filled with unreserved praise for the alloy dagger.
Following this, Aisha Wenisa produced another four hundred and fifty thousand spirit coins and purchased the alloy dagger.
Next, Aisha Wenisa's attention turned to the thermos.
"Hmm? This thermos can keep hot water warm for two days? Why would one want to keep hot water warm? Can't one simply use magic to heat water when needed? And why drink hot water? Why not just drink cold water? (Elvish)"
Aisha Wenisa did not purchase the thermos, nor did she use the lighter.
Aisha Wenisa's purchase initiated a trend, and another wealthy elf merchant came forward and bought the lighter and the thermos.
According to this wealthy elf merchant, he intended to present these two rare items to high-ranking officials within the elven race, which he believed would greatly benefit his business.
After the sales, Xiao Yan and Ye Fan, who had gone to retrieve goods, returned with a bag of items.
"We're back," Ye Fan announced.
"Huh? They're all sold out? That lighter sold for sixty thousand?" Xiao Yan was astonished. Could everyone in Gabo City be wealthy elves?
"Hehehe! Not just sixty thousand! We just raised the price again and sold the lighter for twelve thousand spirit coins," Zi Han chuckled.
"Alright, quickly arrange the items. Number one. Next, inform the surrounding elf passersby that we will be here for another thirty minutes before packing up. If they don't purchase within this time, they will never be able to buy them again."
Under Su Han's strategy of creating a sense of urgency, several million more worth of goods were sold.
When the thirty minutes were up, a significant amount of goods remained. However, Su Han and the others packed up, paid the temporary stall fee, and then departed, heading towards the Tree of Life.
Within the city, one could see the distant Tree of Life by merely looking up. How could they visit this place without seeing the hundreds-of-meters-tall Tree of Life!
After walking for a while, Su Han and the others arrived under the shade of the Tree of Life.
Yet, even beneath the shade, they were still several kilometers away from the tree's trunk.
The canopy covered an area of tens of square kilometers. Viewed from above, the Tree of Life's coverage was equivalent to one-third of Gabo City's area.
Underneath the canopy, the houses gradually became fewer. It seemed Gabo City controlled the number of structures built beneath the canopy.
"Look! Up there!" Zi Han pointed upwards.
"Mm, I see it too."
"I see it as well."
"The scene above is truly magnificent!"
"..."
On the branches of the elven tree, many elves were seated in meditation. These elves were engaged in contemplation.
The largest and lowest branches had the most elves meditating. The higher they went, the fewer the elves.
Upon closer inspection, these elves were radiating a faint glow.
