Are you... sure you want to buy all these medicinal pills and herbs? These will cost you a lot. We offer quality materials so they were all expensive, The clerk swallowed hard and asked cautiously as he confirmed if he heard Austin right.
"Yes," Austin quickly replied.
The clerk was surprised because every item on the list cost more than ten thousand vital energy crystals. Another thing that fired up the clerk's curiosity was the two items that he didn't know. This was the first time he had heard about these and he swore he never saw any of these two items before.
And in front of him was a differently dressed person who wanted to place such a big order. It took him a while before he realized what he had to handle.
The clerk paused and swallowed hard. He looked at Austin with awe as he was amazed how rich this man was.
"Dear sir, the items listed here are very expensive and rare. Please give me enough time as I will check with our shopkeeper, and see if we have all that you need."
The clerk respectfully said to Austin as he was walking away to look for the shopkeeper. Austin nodded.
Then the clerk rushed to the back of the hall immediately. Austin was left at the counter and wondered about his further plans.
After a short while, the clerk came back.
"Sir, may I ask you to go to the back room of the hall to talk with our shopkeeper?" the clerk asked politely.
Austin took the list back to his pocket and nodded before he followed the clerk.
After they took a few steps, they entered a room in ancient style. It had elegant yet delicate decorations. Austin's eyes were pleased. His nose sensed the smell of the herbs. It soothed his nostrils and made him feel relaxed.
A skinny old man warmly greeted Austin.
The old man was also surprised after he scanned the items on the list.
"Sir, may I ask what you need these for?"
Austin did not talk for a moment. Then with a disgusted tone he spoke, "Do I need a reason to buy things from the shop?"
"Oh sir, of course not. Don't take it seriously. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me if I offended you."
The old man said with an embarrassing smile.
"Dear sir, I regret to inform you that we do not have all the medicinal pills and herbs on this list. And we feel obliged to tell you that the total price of these medicinal pills and herbs is about one million vital energy crystals."
Austin widely opened his arms. A bunch of vital energy crystals crashed to the table.
Those crystals summed up to exactly one million vital energy crystals.
