"This item was personally used by him, it's quite special; let's not sell it for now."
"This belongs to the Demon Suppression Department, selling it makes it easier to get caught."
Silver Moon pointed out each item,
Shen Wang realized taking Silver Moon in was the right decision. As he organized the treasure trove, Silver Moon seemed very familiar with it and helped him pick out many sensitive items, saving him a lot of trouble.
Although selling things here shouldn't get noticed in the short term, if discovered later, having too many sensitive items would make a trace-back pretty convenient for others.
"Looks like I'll have to handle these items in different places to spread the risk."
Shen Wang found a lot of sensitive items that Silver Moon picked out, feeling that selling off illegal goods is also a skill, wanting to be safe, he had to handle these items cautiously.
"Thanks for your hard work, take a break first, come back tomorrow, we're not in a hurry to handle all this in one or two days."
Shen Wang smiled, and now that Silver Moon was involved in selling off goods, she was truly one of his own.
"Hmm, don't you want to keep some for your many clan members?"
Silver Moon inquired.
"I've given them a portion, can't give too much, it's easy to create dependence."
Shen Wang said, "They should get resources according to their strength, usually they still need to earn with their own abilities for it to be sustainable, I can't support an entire family."
"Indeed, that's how people are, overly relying on others makes them lose their independence."
Silver Moon agreed with Shen Wang's philosophy. Having gone through much training at the Demon Suppression Department, she viewed things very rationally.
Stepping out of the Spiritual Artifact Space, Shen Wang took out the Array Flag to adjust the array of the courtyard, upgrading it to withstand a Golden Core before stopping.
Silver Moon then bought some daily necessities, preparing to reside here long-term.
After staying for two more days, their relationship further warmed, and they organized a batch of items to sell. Shen Wang and Silver Moon changed their appearances, pretending to be a couple, and went to the commercial district to see if they could make any sales.
"In times of war, prices for everything rise, my items should fetch a good price."
Shen Wang said, touching the Storage Pouch.
"They probably will, many cultivators are now hoarding some cultivation resources just in case."
Silver Moon nodded, "It's not just cultivators, even ordinary people do the same, when faced with calamities, prices for rice soar."
"You know quite a bit, no wonder you're good at practical work, you're well-suited for being an official."
Shen Wang teased.
"It's not much use. Being an official also requires the support of gentry and big families. You can't prevent them from hoarding and exploiting situations, otherwise you're just creating trouble for yourself. Generally, it's less hassle to allow them, while common people are easier targets."
Silver Moon said with a hint of sarcasm on her face.
Shen Wang chuckled, "No wonder you're a royal member, you have deep knowledge of governance."
"Having seen a lot, one learns a few things."
Silver Moon noticed herself subconsciously walking fast and slowed her pace, trying to maintain the demeanor a wife should have.
The two arrived at a street teeming with trading companies.
Hundred Refinements City thrives because, besides its own Hundred Refining Sect's businesses, it welcomes outside companies to settle here and allows small vendors to sell their wares, charging only some fees.
With this approach, Hundred Refinements City gathered many merchants, with more external businesses than their own.
Shen Wang planned to find an external trading company to handle his items, scanning around, he noticed a Hengchang Trading Company here too.
"Xiaoyue, let's split up and scout around, first gather information on prices, and aim to sell to those who offer the highest."
"Alright, I'll check this place."
They acted separately, first entering trading companies to inquire about general purchase prices, then summarizing what's noted.
The major trading companies showed little difference in common cultivation items like Magical Artifacts, Talismans, and Elixirs, but significant variance in raw materials, likely related to their respective advantages.
For instance, stores focused on Elixirs usually pay more for herbal materials because their demand for herbs is high, and their success rate is better, fully compensating for the price difference in buying herbs.
They decided to categorize their materials for targeted selling, aiming to fetch better prices.
After sorting various materials, they returned to the commercial district to sell their items.
After the first day, Shen Wang had over ten thousand Spirit Stones credited, divided among a dozen stores without causing any stir.
Having ensured no one was paying attention, they continued selling under disguised identities.
Hundred Refinements City saw many visitors daily, with numerous transactions. Shen Wang kept the volume controlled fairly low, and within a few days, they successfully sold items worth tens of thousands.
As they sold more, the pair became more familiar with Hundred Refinements City, growing increasingly at ease.
Shen Wang handed the task of selling items over to Silver Moon, while he went to the Library of the Inner Sect to peruse various texts, especially materials related to Artifact Refining, continuing to ponder how to refine his suitable Lifebound Treasure.
With the unsatisfactory experience before, Shen Wang was very cautious this time, not proceeding with refining his Lifebound Treasure without a clear idea.
However, he could consider other Magical Treasures, like refining another Black Death Blade, at least to have a handy weapon first.
To this end, he studied blade weapons, and after gaining some insights, he went to the Artifact Refining Land of the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
Clang, clang!
Getting close to the Artifact Refining Pavilion, one could hear continuous clanging sounds, accompanied by waves of heat.
Compared to the back mountain area of the Alchemy Pavilion, the front mountain area is built on a volcano, with arrays guiding the Power of Earth Fire for refining artifacts.
