As one could expect from a secret market, there were quite a lot of good things here. For example, there were many stalls selling the violet gold that Wei Tianchong needed, and the price was pretty cheap. A fist-sized piece of violet gold could be sold for two to three thousand coins in the Sageheart Kingdom, and even that price wasn't enough to guarantee a piece. But here, the starting price was only eighteen hundred coins, and if one haggled, one could even get it for twelve hundred to as low as eight hundred coins.

This was mainly because although valuable materials like violet gold weren't forbidden from being exported, the major sects controlled how much was exported, and since the supply was limited, the price was high, and this naturally made it so that the prices would only ever increase.

Tang Jie coldly looked at him. "Do you have one million spirit coins?"

Wei Tianchong was instantly rendered speechless
