This was just the beginning. After Zhou Yan made his purchase, he moved towards the next table. He noticed the vendor was a foreigner. Although the man spoke in a foreign language, Zhou Yan activated his Lord's translation function, and quickly understood what he said: "Welcome."
Zhou Yan nodded and then looked at the items on the table.
Upon inspection, he was greatly surprised. He hadn't expected the vendor to offer such high-quality items for trade.
"An R-grade building!" Zhou Yan was truly astonished. He hadn't anticipated that the items traded internally would be this good. He had spotted such a high-grade building right upon entering.
Zhou Yan examined the attributes of the building.
[Building: Abru Army]
[Type: Barracks]
[Quality: R]
[Description: Can be built in the territory.]
This was a barracks building. Although it was for a foreign army, the vendor was willing to trade such a high-quality unit. Zhou Yan immediately looked at the vendor's trade requirements.
A Saint artifact!
For something so high-grade, few people would choose to trade it for spiritual coins. This vendor was no exception, and he specifically required a Saint artifact.
This put Zhou Yan in a difficult position. Saint artifacts were extremely rare and precious, something most people couldn't readily produce. Otherwise, this building would likely have been traded away long ago.
Zhou Yan did possess Saint artifacts, but he was reluctant to part with them.
Thus, Zhou Yan inquired, "Aside from a Saint artifact, would nothing else suffice?"
The vendor glanced at the Ye Clan Dragon King Cloak behind Zhou Yan and said, "Since you are from the Ye Clan Dragon King family, I will name a few items. If you can produce them, I will naturally be willing to trade with you."
Zhou Yan was surprised at how much prestige the Ye Clan Dragon King Cloak carried. He said to the vendor, "Feel free to speak plainly. If I have it, I will certainly trade it with you."
"R-grade cultivation techniques or skills, and they must be for mages or warriors. Besides these two, R-grade or above magic scrolls, equipment blueprints, potions, pills, job change scrolls, and hero tokens are also acceptable."
The vendor listed many items, offering a wide range of trade options, giving Zhou Yan many ways to proceed.
"Oh, you also need magic scrolls?" Zhou Yan was surprised that the vendor wanted these as well.
He wouldn't claim to have a vast number of top-tier scrolls, but a hundred or so was certainly within his reach.
"Naturally. Top-tier magic scrolls are very rare and precious. I haven't encountered many in my search," the vendor replied.
Precious?
Perhaps they were precious to others, but to him, they were just things he could acquire with money.
"Ahem, how many would be needed to exchange for this building?" Zhou Yan inquired.
No matter how precious magic scrolls were, they were still single-use items. Their value naturally couldn't compare to this barracks building.
"If they are R-grade, at least five are needed. For RR-grade, two will suffice. If they are RRR-grade, one is enough," the vendor answered.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan thought this was a very profitable deal.
Therefore, Zhou Yan directly produced two RR-grade magic scrolls and asked, "Would these two be acceptable?"
The vendor looked at them, surprised that Zhou Yan actually possessed them. He nodded and said, "The Ye Clan Dragon King is indeed impressive, to have magic scrolls of this quality."
"A pleasant transaction," the vendor said, quite pleased with the scrolls in his hand.
Zhou Yan was even happier, as he had quite a few of these items and wasn't particularly short on them.
Besides this building, the vendor had several other good items that could be purchased with spiritual coins. Zhou Yan bought them without hesitation.
The vendor, having sold all his items, was naturally delighted and thanked Zhou Yan profusely.
Zhou Yan moved on to the next stall. He discovered that the vendor was selling materials. There were many kinds of materials, varying in quantity, and all were of six-star quality or higher.
"This is Yin Ming Stone!" Zhou Yan was very surprised to see this material among the offerings, not expecting the vendor to have it.
In addition to Yin Ming Stone, there were also many precious types of wood, which greatly satisfied Zhou Yan.
"I'll take it all." The vendor's face lit up with joy, and he quickly began calculating the prices of the materials.
After the transaction was completed, the vendor left happily.
However, seeing Zhou Yan continue to the next stall after his purchase, the vendor became curious and followed him, wanting to see just how much this member of the Ye Clan could buy.
He had already witnessed this Ye Clan Dragon King person consecutively clearing out several vendors.
As expected, when Zhou Yan reached the next stall, he bought everything the vendor had.
They had attended many trade fairs, but this was their first time encountering someone as "lavish" as Zhou Yan.
But considering he was from the Ye Clan Dragon King family, and thinking of their influence, status, and wealth, they didn't dwell on it too much.
If Zhou Yan hadn't been wearing that Ye Clan Dragon King cloak, the situation might have been different.
As Zhou Yan continued to clear out more stalls, more and more stall owners began to gather behind him. To an outsider, it would look like they were all Zhou Yan's subordinates.
"I wonder what his status is within the Ye Clan Dragon King family. This is the thirty-first stall, does he intend to buy out the entire internal trade fair?"
"If he wishes, what does it matter if he buys it all? Do you think the Dragon King family lacks the ability to do so?"
"Could he be the heir of the Dragon King family? I heard the heir of the Dragon King family is quite remarkable, having achieved second place in the newcomer trials."
"He must have spent at least hundreds of billions of spiritual coins. Truly wealthy and unpretentious, he doesn't haggle at all. This is the Dragon King family."
"Well, look at who he is. Would you dare to quote a higher price?"
"That's true."
...
Zhou Yan's immense wealth shocked many. They were all speculating about his identity, some even suspecting he was Ye Bufan.
Unfortunately for Ye Bufan, while he could also produce a large sum of money, he certainly wouldn't spend it as lavishly as Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan had, in a way, enhanced the reputation of the Dragon King family. Although the Dragon King family didn't need it, Zhou Yan had still accomplished it.
It wasn't Zhou Yan's fault that he couldn't stop himself; everything here was precisely what he needed. Besides, he hadn't forced anyone to sell. The prices quoted by the vendors were accepted without any negotiation, and both parties were satisfied. What had he done wrong?
More and more people began to discuss Zhou Yan. Suddenly, someone approached him. The person was wearing a phoenix cloak, and it was a woman. Her status was also not simple; she was from the Kyoto Phoenix family.
"May I know which disciple of the Dragon King family you are? I don't seem to recall seeing you before," the woman wearing the Phoenix family cloak asked Zhou Yan with a hint of confusion. Although Zhou Yan was wearing a mask, she would surely recognize anyone she knew.
