Wanbao Hall!
This was the busiest place in the Demon Suppression Division, apart from the Mission Hall.
The entire Wanbao Hall was divided into three floors. After Lin Baichuan entered, he went straight to a counter in the southeast corner of the first floor. This was the window for recycling various resources. Although it was his first time here, Lin Baichuan had already heard Yang Zhan talk about the situation in Wanbao Hall, so he knew a bit about it.
"Give me an appraisal!"
As soon as Lin Baichuan arrived, he placed a box on the counter.
Inside the box were the Demon Core of a Mountain Demon and the Demon Core of a Blood Demon. In fact, Lin Baichuan actually had three more Demon Cores from Liang YouTian's underground palace, but he didn't plan to take them out yet.
The Demon Core and Demon Core in the box were both Rank Three Soldier-grade, and both were at the Peak of Rank Three Soldier-grade. If they were placed outside, they would be incredibly difficult to acquire.
Even within the Demon Suppression Division, one was worth at least three hundred contribution points.
At least six hundred contribution points would be enough to purchase the medicinal materials he needed. As for the three Demon Cores, Lin Baichuan planned to sell them after some time. In fact, Lin Baichuan had also considered selling the Demon Cores and Demon Cores outside.
After all, the Demon Suppression Division's purchase price was not as high as the market price outside.
But after careful consideration, Lin Baichuan still rejected this idea. The medicinal materials he needed were very precious, and even with money, it might not be possible to buy them outside. But the Demon Suppression Division was different; as long as you had contribution points and the Demon Suppression Division had the resources, you could exchange for them.
Moreover, besides medicinal materials, he also needed to exchange for several Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.
Lin Baichuan had only cultivated Golden Bell Shield and Seven Kill Blade Technique until now. He wasn't in a hurry for Cultivation Techniques, but he definitely needed to cultivate a few more Martial Skills. Otherwise, his attack methods would be too singular, leading to many disadvantages when facing enemies.
Behind the counter, a middle-aged man slowly stood up. He first glanced at Lin Baichuan, then casually took the box and opened it. His expression immediately changed drastically, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "Rank Three Soldier-grade Demon Core and Demon Core! Holy crap... Where did you get these from...?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the man saw Lin Baichuan's displeased expression and immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. He then gave an awkward smile and said, "Uh, sorry, I was too excited just now. No other meaning, it's just very rare to see Demon Cores and Demon Cores of this level."
"Give me an appraisal!"
Lin Baichuan said calmly, his voice cold.
"Good, good..."
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, but his hands were not idle. He immediately picked up the Demon Core and Demon Core and carefully examined them. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Both are top-grade Rank Three Soldier-grade, but this Demon Core is even better. How about this... the Demon Core for 360 contribution points, and the Demon Core for 390 contribution points. That adds up to 750 contribution points..."
"750 points!"
Lin Baichuan raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
He had originally thought that 700 points would be very good, but he didn't expect it to be 50 contribution points more than his estimate. Don't underestimate these 50 contribution points; if they were outside, they would be worth more than a thousand gold.
"My appraisal is absolutely fair." The middle-aged man saw Lin Baichuan hesitate and thought he was dissatisfied. He then said in a deep voice, "Indeed, if you were to sell these outside, the price might be higher, but as you know, contribution points are not the same as gold and silver outside."
"Okay, 750 contribution points it is!"
Lin Baichuan nodded slightly and said, "I need some medicinal materials. Here's the list, see what you have..."
As he spoke, Lin Baichuan handed over the list he had already prepared.
On the list were the names of more than a dozen medicinal materials. In addition to the nine auxiliary medicinal materials required for Guiyuan Body Tempering Soup, Lin Baichuan had privately added three precious medicinal materials. The purpose of doing this was naturally to confuse people and prevent them from guessing the purpose of his medicinal material purchases.
Although this possibility was very small, for the sake of caution, Lin Baichuan naturally had to be a bit more careful.
"Oh, ho... The medicinal materials you need are not simple!"
The middle-aged man took the list and his pupils immediately constricted. He gave Lin Baichuan a meaningful glance and said, "I can only gather nine types for you here. As for the remaining three, you'll have to find them yourself."
"Oh, which three are missing?" Lin Baichuan immediately asked.
"xuanyang fruit, Nine-leaf Green Lotus Flower, and Tuckahoe. We currently don't have any stock of these three in our Wanbao Hall. If you can wait one or two months, there should be a supply," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"I see!"
Lin Baichuan's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Of the three missing medicinal ingredients, only xuanyang fruit was what he truly needed. As for the other two, they were just for confusing people, so it didn't matter whether he had them or not.
Actually, Lin Baichuan was initially worried that many medicinal materials would not be available.
Now, with only this one missing, it was actually quite good.
As for waiting one or two months as the middle-aged man said, Lin Baichuan had not considered it. He couldn't just wait for one or two months for nothing; he still had to find a way himself.
"Perhaps I can go to the medicinal material market in the city and take a look..."
Lin Baichuan thought to himself, but on his lips, he smiled and said, "Then I'll take the nine types you have!"
"No problem!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The nine medicinal materials add up to 530 contribution points, which will be deducted directly. Now, give me your identity token, and I'll transfer the remaining contribution points to you."
"Thank you!"
Lin Baichuan nodded and handed over his identity token.
The middle-aged man also took out an identity token, then stacked the two together. With a swipe, a light screen appeared. The next moment, lines of text appeared on Lin Baichuan's identity token.
name: Lin Baichuan
Rank: Junior Demon Slayer Guard
Contribution Points: 220
The text flashed and disappeared, returning to its original state within a few breaths.
The middle-aged man then handed the identity token to Lin Baichuan and said, "Alright, the contribution points have been transferred. You can check them yourself. As for the medicinal materials you purchased, they will be delivered to your residence within three days."
"Good!"
Lin Baichuan nodded slightly, put away his identity token, and without further ado, turned and left.
He still had to go to the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for some Martial Skills.
Inside the Wanbao Hall, the middle-aged man watched Lin Baichuan's departing back, his eyes deep, and he murmured meaningfully to himself, "I never thought that such a Prodigy would emerge from our Cangwu Prefecture Demon Suppression Division. A Ninth Grade Body Refinement Realm practitioner who has broken through the Physical Body limit, and he even faintly possesses a sharp Blade Intent, meaning he must have comprehended Blade Intent.
Looking at his age, he's probably less than eighteen, right? Such talent, let alone in Cangwu Prefecture, even in the entire Eastern Wasteland Prefecture, you'd be hard-pressed to find more than a few!
Lin Baichuan... Heh heh, truly remarkable, truly remarkable!
It seems I need to pay close attention. Such a good prospect cannot be missed..."
As he spoke, a wide smile appeared on his face. Then, after glancing at the list in his hand, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and walked straight away from the counter with his hands behind his back.
