After speaking to the lady, Zhou fan walked over to the counter in the back of the store. When he arrived, he saw a transaction going on between a young man and a clerk.
"I want a 1st grade healing pill and a 1st grade fire formation plate." He said, already pulling spirit stones from his bag.
"Alright, I'll go get those for you." The clerk said before she walked into the back.
It was only a couple of seconds before she came back with what he asked for.
"A first grade healing pill and a first grade fire formation plate will be 10 spirit stones." She said.
The man, who had already pulled that many out, pushed them to the clerk and grabbed his stuff.
"Thank you for coming, young master mun. Please come again." She said as he was walking out.
From their conversation, Zhou Fan was able to tell two things. First, that weapons, pills, and other things sold in the shop were ranked in grades based on their level, and two, the price and importance of spirit stones.
With the transaction, Zhou Fan was able to tell how valuable a spirit stone was based on the value of the items the young man bought.
Another thing he learned about spirit stones from that transaction was that the spirit stones on the Zhou world seemed to be lesser than the ones he had created.
There may be better spirit stones in the world, but it seemed they wouldn't be used on the 1st floor.
After understanding some things, Zhou Fan walked up to the counter.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The clerk asked.
"I would like to buy that talisman over there." He said, pointing at the talisman the previous clerk showed him.
"Yes sir, I'll get it right now." She said before once again entering the back.
While she was gone, Zhou Fan condensed a couple of spirit stones identical to the ones the young man used earlier.
By the time the clerk came back, there were already fifty spirit stones on the desk.
"That will be fifty spirit stones sir." She said.
Zhou Fan responded by pushing the stones towards her.
The clerk counted the spirit stones and handed the talisman to Zhou Fan.
"Thank you." He said before leaving towards the stairs to the second floor.
"You're welcome. Come again!" She said.
Before long, Zhou fan made it to the second floor. It looked like an exact copy of the first floor besides the fact that there were less people.
Zhou Fan walked over to the counters and shelves, examining the items.
After looking at a few, Zhou Fan was able to tell that they were still at the Qi condensation realm. However, they seemed to be of much better quality compared to the ones on the first floor.
The weapons were sharper and more durable and the pills and formations were more effective.
Since there was really nothing new, Zhou Fan didn't spend long on the second floor.
As he left, he bought a weapon worth 50 spirit stones. It was more expensive than any other sword on the first floor.
On the third floor, there was a change. Instead of the previous red and gold color, there was now a green and gold color. It was pleasant and even elegant. The layout, however, stayed the same.
Another noticeable difference was the amount of people. There were no more than 5 people on the 3rd floor.
Zhou Fan looked around and saw pills, weapons, formations and other things at foundation establishment, or rank two.
He first went over to the pill counter as per usual. Besides the difference in pill rank, there were also different types of pills.
The first one he noticed was a poison pill. Opposite to healing pills which saved lives, these pills would take them. Zhou Fan looked around the pill counter and found a few more new pills, some of which being hydration pills, saturation pills, and stamina pills.
He didn't stay at the pill area long before he went around looking at the other items.
There was nothing too interesting, so he headed to the counter quickly. As he arrived, he saw another transaction taking place.
"A 2nd rank poison pill and a 2nd rank earth shifting talisman will be two hundred low grade spirit stones or two mid grade spirit stones." The clerk said to the man.
The man proceeded to pull out two spirit stones that were different from the ones Zhou Fan had seen before.
Unlike the earlier spirit stones, these ones were bigger and purer.
The clerk pushed the man the items and took his payment. The man then left the store.
After seeing the transaction, Zhou Fan walked over to the counter and repeated the process of buying but with mid grade spirit stones this time.
He ended up buying a 2nd rank poison pill and a 2nd rank spear.
Zhou fan went to the 4th floor and once again saw foundation establishment items. He didn't stay long but left with a scythe.
On the 5th floor, the items were all core formation. He looked around and saw the colors had changed once again to blue and gold.
As he walked around the fifth floor, he saw something new. On a weapon rack, there was a yellow sword. Unlike the swords he had seen before, this one had a formation covering it. It also had what seemed like a talisman wrapped around the handle.
Zhou Fan walked up to the counter and asked the clerk about it. This time, the clerk was a man.
"What does that formation on the sword do? And what does the talisman on the handle do?" He asked.
The clerk looked at it and spoke. "The formation around the sword makes it much faster and stronger once you input Qi into it. As for the handle, it will automatically shoot out and attack whoever you target as long as they are somewhat close. It has limited uses, but you can come back and we will replace it for a small fee." He said.
