“Don’t be nervous, even if you don’t enter the Atlas Shop, I can still clearly see what’s happening within three miles.” Mark pointed to the painted folding screen behind him.

“Elder, I…”

Regret was about to explain when he saw Mark stand up and beckon him, saying, “Come here, I can help you with your things.”

After a moment of contemplation, Regret followed Mark. After all, this was Veloria City, and besides the other two major families, no one else dared to make a move against him.

Moreover, Mark had previously given him a spirit crystal, which was not much cheaper than the Azure spirit liquid in the package.

“Is this thing refined from the Simulated Alchemisy Cauldron?”

In a room filled with books, Mark examined a golden ball in his hand, observing the liquid inside with a peculiar look in his eyes.

“I can’t hide it from the elder.”

Regret is completely convinced. It is said that Atlas Shop comes from the Empire, and the power behind the Angsana Pavilion is even more terrifying. Concealing infront such a strong person is obviously unwise.

“Regret, can you tell me where this thing actually comes from?” Mark suddenly looked at Regret.

“This…”

“Don’t feel pressured. I’m just casually asking. Let’s talk about business. These golden ball, one thousand gold coins each, I’ll buy them all.”

“Okay.” Regret this time did not show any difficulty, readily agreed. Mark’s offer seemed lower than the merchant’s, but he didn’t mind. Being able to sell them promptly was already very good.

More importantly, the reason the price he sold at was high earlier was because of the scarcity. If he were to put out all the Azure spirit liquid at once, the value would likely decrease significantly.

“This is my gold coin card. By the way, put these gold coins in it too.”

Regret conveniently took out the heavy gold coins from the package. The attendant who came over respectfully took the two items. When he returned, apart from returning the gold coin card to Regret, he also gently placed a cup of tea water next to Regret.

“Manager Mark, do you have any void realms stones here?” Regret suddenly remembered something and asked.

“Coincidentally, i have one.” Mark chuckled lightly, tossed a hexagonal stone lightly, and it floated in front of Regret, emitting a slight sound of breaking wind as it rotated.

“Price?” Regret scratched his head and asked.

“Let’s say ten thousand gold coins.”

Upon hearing this, Regret showed a troubled expression. His current assets totaled only eight thousand gold coins, two thousand short of the price Mark had quoted.

“Then eight thousand it is,” Mark smiled.

“Your gold coin card.”

Receiving the now empty gold coin card and the empty void realm stone from the assistent, Regret was still in a daze. Mark’s attitude towards him was just too strange, first gifting him a spirit crystal, and now waiving two thousand gold coins!

“Regret, have you ever heard of the Angsana Pavilion Festival?” Mark asked seriously, finally getting to the main point.

“Angsana Pavilion Festival, I think I’ve heard of it,” Regret mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. At this moment, Red also finally woke up. With a turn of its body and a yawn, it lazily leaned against Regret’s neck.

“You should know that in Veloria City, the Angsana Pavillion has sent representatives to several enterprises, not just the Atlas Shop. Apart from us, there are two other stores, and the competition is very fierce.”

Regret nodded slightly; he was aware of these matters.

“And to avoid internal strife, Angsana Pavillion will dispatch people in three months to organize a trial. The winner will command the other two stores, and I believe I don’t need to explain the benefits involved,” Mark said, looking at Regret with a meaningful gaze.

“You wouldn’t want me to go, right?” Regret was somewhat helpless and amused. He had heard of the rules of the Angsana Pavillion Festival before. Every three years, in each city, a festival was held to test which shop stood more firmly within the city.

During the Angsana Pavillion Festival, each shop would choose three spirit master novices from the city to go to specific locations to pick medicinal herbs. The total value of the herbs would determine which shop was stronger.

However, the chosen spirit master novices were usually close to becoming spirit warrior, but Regret was far behind.

“My old rival, the Golden Flame Shop, has already reached an agreement with the Snow family. Snow Amar from the Snow family is already an eighth rank spirit novice. It will be very difficult to defeat him.”

Snow Amar was Snow Feng’s older brother.

An eighth rank spirit novice meant that his leading spirit beast had already reached the eighth rank, making him very powerful among the younger generation in Veloria City.

“But I’m only a fourth rank spirit novice now.” Regret shook his head helplessly. The outcome of a fourth rank facing an eighth rank could already be anticipated.

“You still have three months. With your upgrading speed, I think your chances of winning are not small.” Mark raised his teacup, moistening his dry lips before smiling.

“These two thousand gold coins are my reward.” He continued tempting Regret, “And after winning, Angsana Pavillion will also grant rewards. Those things are not easily found in Veloria City.”

“Let’s do it!”

Regret’s expression turned fierce. He refused to believe that with his Master Magi at his side, he would not be able to catch up with Snow Amar in three months!

“Screw this, why did I agree so easily!” Regret, stepping out of the Atlas shop, his face full of sorrow, completely lost the determined look he had just moments ago.

“If I had known earlier, I should have said I needed to consider it more. That guy Snow Amar, just like Snow Feng, they are not good people.”

Muttering to himself, Regret had only taken a few steps when his expression suddenly changed, a bear like strong arm swiftly gripped his neck with a sound tearing through the air.
