Talent Swallowing System

If it was Leo's predecessor, he would have been shocked to see such an insane number of low-level spirit stones; however, Leo was not satisfied with the amount.

However, at the same time, Leo could not help but still accept it because he didn't have the time to go to the Black Market and sell all these pills there for a long period of time.

'If I can sell all these pills in the Black Market, it would have received at least 500,000 low-level spirit stones; however, I would need at least half a month to one month.'

Leo silently thought about the spirit stones he would have gotten from the Black Market before convincing himself, 'However, it was quite a tedious process to open a store in the Black Market as I needed to go through a background check.'

'So, I don't think it was suitable for me and selling the pills through the Infinite Treasure Pavilion was not a bad thing for me.'

Moreover, Leo had only sold mid-level pills and he still had a ton of high-level pills like Qi-refinement pills, Qi-harmony pills, Spirit Channeling and Vitality Pills.

"Sir, do you want to receive the payment in the low-level spirit stones or the mid-level spirit stones?"

Since the total value of the transaction was over 100000 low-level spirit stones, the infinite treasure pavilion would pay their client in mid-level spirit stones.

'Convert the 100000 low-level spirit stones into mid-level spirit stones and the remaining 110000 low-level spirit stones, just give them as they are.'

After thinking for a moment, Leo asked the manager to give him the combination he said.

In this world, one low-level spirit stone is worth 100 mid-level spirit stones and one mid-level spirit stone is worth 100 low-level spirit stones.

However, with Leo's talent [Fundamental Merge], he could merge 10 low-level spirit stones into a special mid-level spirit stone and Leo also knew that he could do the same with 10 mid-level spirit stones and merge them into a high-level spirit stone.

By doing so, he could save 90 low-level spirit stones per one mid-level spirit stone.

'If only I could merge the items I merged, it would have said to me a lot of spirit stone.'

At the current level of the [Fundamental Merge], Leo could not merge the items he had already merged. If not for that, he would directly take the entire payment in low-level spirit stones.

As for the high-level spirit stones, they were not available in a city like Silvermoon City as it was only a grade 9 city.

Moreover, the availability of the mid-level spirit stones was also limited to the Infinite Treasure Pavilion and the City Leader's Force.

As for the two sects, even though they have some mid-level spirit stones, they will be in the hands of the sect leaders and would only be used for cultivation.

"Sir, here is your payment."

Soon, the manager of the store gave Leo two bags. One was big and had 110000 low-level spirit stones whereas the other one was small and had 1000 mid-level spirit stones.

'With 1000 mid-level spirit stones, I can get 100 special high-level spirit stones which will be enough for some time before I can get more mid-level spirit stones.'

Even though high-level spirit stones were good, Leo didn't want to turn all his assets into high-level spirit stones yet.

Moreover, Leo needed the merged mid-level spirit stones because once his disciples started breaking through, he could give these stones to them and speed up their cultivation.

'Along with the pills and these mid-level spirit stones, their cultivation speed would be as fast as those core disciples from the Grade 7 Sect.'

Leo knew what he was doing and was confident in nurturing a powerful force that even the Grade 7 Sect like Lunar Sect won't stand a chance with him after a few years.

'However, to do that, I still need the help of the Lunar Sect and I can get that help by making sure Novan joins the sect.'

Of course, even though he was letting Novan join the Lunar Sect, Leo had separate plans for him.

"Sir, it looks like you didn't have a Storage Ring. Since you have sold items worth more than 100000 low-level spirit stones, you are eligible for a 10 percent discount on all the items in all the branches of our Infinite Treasure Pavillion. So, why don't you buy a good Storage Ring?"

The old manager was waiting for a perfect moment with his sharp eyes and the moment he realized that Leo didn't have a Storage Ring, the old man used it to his advantage as he gave a Silver Card with the words 'Infinite Treasure Pavillion' written on it in golden colour and suggested Leo to buy the Storage Ring.

'It's alright! I don't need a Storage Ring."

Leo was already planning to buy a Storage Ring as he knew how convenient it would be to have a Storage Ring.

Moreover, he had already thought of a plan on how to buy a Storage Ring; however, he didn't expect the old manager to give him a 10 percent discount.

Nevertheless, he still said that he didn't want a Storage Ring, making the old manager a little disappointed.

"However, I was thinking of picking some storage rings for my disciples."

In the next moment, when the old manager heard Leo's words, he became excited as he continued to listen, "Since they are just Qi-refinement cultivators, I will just go with the basic Storage Rings."

Here, Leo was not planning to buy the storage rings for his disciples; instead, he was planning to buy more low-level storage rings and merge them to use the ring for himself.

Also, he was curious about the changes and the special effect he would get by merging the storage rings.

Hence, he executed the plan he thought of earlier when entering the Infinite Treasure Pavilion.

"That's great. We just got a new batch of low-level rank 1 storage rings."

The old man became even more excited because he was going to clear the old stock of the low-level rank 1 storage rings from the inventory.

Soon, the old manager guided Leo to the place where they sell the Storage Rings.

There were a total of six levels of storage rings…three from rank 1 and three from rank 2.

However, as the level of the storage ring increased, the quantity of the rings decreased from 100 at low-level rank 1 storage rings and only one in the high-level rank 2 storage rings section.

"Since the respected cultivator wants to buy the basic storage rings, here are the basic ones. The price for a low-level rank 1 Storage Ring is only 10000 low-level spirit stones, mid-level Storage Rings are only 20000 low-level spirit stones whereas the high-level storage rings are 50000 low-level spirit stones per piece."

Even the lowest storage ring's price started from 10000 low-level spirit stones which made it very hard for Leo's predecessor to buy them.

Even though he had enough funds to buy these storage rings, his predecessor didn't want to waste his money on the storage rings; instead, he thought to buy the resources that could help him in his cultivation.

A storage ring could not help a cultivator in his cultivation and therefore, the predecessor was strictly against buying it.

"However, if the respected cultivator buys 10 or more storage rings, I will give a 20 percent discount."

Since the old manager was unable to see Leo's facial expressions, he was trying to figure out Leo's mood by his body movements.

Seeing that Leo was not interested in buying stuff, the old manager slowly increased the discount.

"If you give me a good discount, I am planning to buy 10 high-level rank 1 storage rings. It looks like you can't increase the discount by more than 20 percent."

Leo looked a little disappointed when he said those words; however, it was enough to make the old manager excited.

"Respected Cultivator, if you buy 10 high-level rank 1 Storage Rings, I will add another 20 percent discount on your Silver Card, making it a total of 30 percent discount. What do you say?"

The old man didn't wait for any reply from Leo as he explained, "For 10 high-level rank 1 storage rings, it would cost 500000 low-level spirit stones; however, when the 30 percent discount is applied, it would be 350000 low-level spirit stones only."

"Currently, I don't have that many spirit stones; however, if you remove that 50000 low-level spirit stones, I will exchange the 10 high-level spirit stones with something that you will definitely be interested in."

Leo hesitated a little as he took out a pill, "This is a special pill that I have refined and it had the same effect as a low-level foundation establishment pill."

"What?"

Hearing Leo's words, the old manager was shocked for a moment; however, he looked at the pill in Leo's hands with a doubtful look.

"Moreover, it also has an effect of instantly breaking through a level 9 Qi-refinement Cultivator to the perfected Qi-refinement while helping them break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Really?"

The old manager's doubts intensified even more when he heard Leo's words as he quickly said, "Respected Cultivator, how about I appraise it before telling you whether I can buy it or not."

"Sure."

Leo was not worried much as he gave the top-level Qi-Refinement Pill to the old manager because he knew that the old man could figure out the effects of the pill using his own methods.

"Let's exchange it."

After analysing and appraising for over an hour, the old manager was tired but still looked excited as he gave a green signal.
