C7 Dynasty Chamber of Commerce

After saying that, Lyi Hentian immediately entered the bead. Duanmu Kuang had no doubts about Lyi Hentian's words. Although this wretched old man liked to fool people, he had never lied to him about this.

Every time he was alone with the old man, as long as someone wanted to get close to him, the old man would be able to find him and hide inside the bead in advance. Duanmu Kuang hurriedly put the bead into his arms and continued to lie on the grass, humming a little tune.

Sure enough, after a short while. "Sha... Sha" A burst of hurried footsteps sounded. A young man dressed in light blue servant clothes was running towards them.

"Young master Kuang, young master Kuang, the Seventh Madam is calling you back, why are you here again?" The youth ran forward with sweat all over his forehead. He sat down and wiped his sweat as he said, "Aiyo, I'm so tired."

"Look at how anxious you are, Little Li. Do you know what my mother called me for?" Duanmu Kuang spat out the grass in his mouth and asked.

Little Li's name was Li Yang. He was the son of a young manager in Duanmu Prefecture. He grew up in Duanmu Prefecture and everyone called him Little Li. Li Yang was smart since he was young, so he was sent to Duanmu Kuang's side as a follower.

Li Yang said, "Young Master Kuang, tomorrow will be the Patriarch's eighty-two-year-old birthday. Seventh Madam wants to ask if you have prepared a congratulatory gift? Don't forget to prepare the congratulatory gifts like last year and make a fool of yourself at the birthday banquet."

Duanmu Kuang couldn't help but feel awkward when he heard this. When his grandfather was about to pass his birthday last year... It just so happened that he was at the critical moment of breaking through to the ninth level of the Body Refining Tier because he was diligent in his cultivation. He had forgotten about the congratulatory gift. At that time, it was indeed a big joke.

"This year, I must prepare a good congratulatory gift for Grandpa!"

Duanmu Kuang said to himself. He stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll go back and change my clothes. We'll go to the marketplace." After saying that, he picked up his clothes and ran towards Duanmu Manor.

"Young master Kuang, wait for me, wait for me..." Li Yang followed behind eagerly.

When they returned to the residence, Duanmu Kuang changed his clothes and took out the money he had hidden to count. Wow, it was more than five hundred silver.

On the continent, the currency system was 100 copper coins equal to one tael of silver, and 100 tael of silver was equal to one tael of gold.

Further up was the origin stone. As the name implied, the origin stone was a type of stone that was nurtured from the Heaven and Earth Yuan Meridian. After it was mined, it was polished into the shape of a stone, with a single stone as the unit. According to the density of the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy contained within the origin stone, it would be divided into low-grade and middle-grade. High-grade, top-grade, and four-grade. The ratio between the grades was 100 units. For example, 100 low-grade origin stone was equal to one middle grade origin stone. 100 middle-grade was equal to a high-grade ___, and 100 high-grade was equal to a supreme-grade ___.

Origin stone could be absorbed by a martial artist. It could be used to cultivate or restore origin energy, and only circulated among high grade martial artists.

Ordinary people used gold, silver, and copper as currency, and an ordinary family's yearly expenditure was around 10 silver. 500 silver was not a small sum of money.

Duanmu Kuang smiled in satisfaction. He took out 300 silver and put it in his pocket. After he hid the rest of the money, he called Li Yang out and walked towards the market.

The market was built in the middle of the town. It was surrounded by walls, and only a few doors were left for people to enter and exit. It was noon, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going at the entrance. Two ancient characters of the market were carved on the green stone tablet above the entrance.

As soon as he entered, he walked on a clean street. Looking around, rows of stores were neatly arranged in a straight line, and they were all straight and straight in the market.

On the streets, there were many stalls. The streets were packed with people. Along the way, the owner of the stall shouted, and the customers haggled. The sound of people haggling was as loud as the tide, and it was extremely lively.

"Young Master Kuang, which store are we going to?" Li Yang saw that Duanmu Kuang didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He couldn't help but ask.

"Imperial Chamber of Commerce," Duanmu Kuang replied. Li Yang shrunk his neck when he heard that. "Ah! Imperial Chamber of Commerce, I haven't been there before, but I heard that the things there are ridiculously expensive. Today, I can finally go in and broaden my horizons. " After Li Yang said that, he had an excited look on his face.

"I am now buying congratulatory gifts for my grandfather. Could it be that I am buying something from a stall? If I want to buy something, I have to buy it well. If I want to buy something good, I have to go to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. However, I have never been to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce before. It just so happens that I have to go in and take a look. Look at you, you only need to enter a Chamber of Commerce. Why are you so happy? " Looking at Li Yang's expression, Duanmu Kuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Actually, it could not be blamed on Li Yang. The Imperial Chamber of Commerce was run by the Heavenly Star Dynasty's royal family. Its headquarters was set up in the Imperial Capital and its branches were spread across the entire Heavenly Star Dynasty. It was the number one Chamber of Commerce in the Heavenly Star Dynasty.

Even a small town like the Nanling Town had its branches, so its influence could be imagined. In addition to its background, it was said that even the royal families didn't dare to cause trouble in the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.

Furthermore, the products of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce were of high quality. Without a certain amount of wealth, one wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter. To ordinary people, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce was just a legend.

Li Yang was only the son of a servant of the Duanmu family. If nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn't have the chance to enter the Imperial Chamber of Commerce for his entire life. Now that he heard that Duanmu Kuang wanted to go to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, how could he not be excited?

After walking for a short while, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce appeared in front of him. It was three stories tall, a few times bigger than the shop next to it. The plaque was engraved with the words "Imperial Chamber of Commerce." Under the sunlight, it glittered with a dazzling golden light. It gave off a majestic aura.

Compared to the surging flow of people in the other shops, there were only a few figures entering and leaving in twos and threes. Some were rich people dressed extravagantly, while others were martial artists carrying spears and swords on their backs. However, their faces did not have their usual arrogance. Instead, they looked at the shop keeper. They also had friendly smiles on their faces.

"Come, let's go in and take a look." Duanmu Kuang put his hands behind his back and strode forward. He walked like a dragon or a tiger. He held his head high and puffed out his chest. There was a trace of a bewitching smile on his immature face. His follower, Li Yang, followed closely behind him. He looked like a young master.

After stepping into the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, rows of neatly arranged shelves appeared in front of him. The shelves were filled with all kinds of goods. Martial skills, mental cultivation method, weapons, medicinal herbs and precious stones, medicinal pills, etc., everything was available. In this place, there were only things that you could not think of. There was nothing that you could not buy, but there was a prerequisite. You must have money.

Because the goods here are all expensive. Ordinary families would not be able to afford one of them even if they went bankrupt. Duanmu Kuang was even on a shelf. He saw a pair of female pants made of natural silk, and the price was 1,000 silver taels.

"This thing is also worth selling? 1,000 silver taels? This is not just expensive, it's simply robbery! " While Duanmu Kuang was cursing in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He originally thought that three hundred taels of silver was more than enough, but now he realized that it wasn't the case. Looking at the goods on the shelves, Duanmu Kuang also saw that it was a waste. He did not know where to start.

As for Li Yang, he was looking around carefully, looking very restrained.

"Young Master, welcome to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. Is there anything I can help you with?" Just as Duanmu Kuang was hesitating, a female shop assistant walked over. She had a baby face and a professional smile on her face.

"Tomorrow is my family's ancestor's birthday. I want to buy a congratulatory gift for the old man. Please introduce me to him." Duanmu Kuang said.

"Hehe, so it's a gift for the elders. Young master, you really have a filial heart. Please follow me." After saying that, the saleswoman led Duanmu Kuang around. She introduced them one by one. Duanmu Kuang finally chose an old ginseng and paid the bill on the counter. Satisfied, he left.
