Seeing someone coming in, a middle-aged man wearing a black felt hat and gold-rimmed glasses came out to greet them: "Welcome, distinguished guest!"

"Tell me if you need anything. Our store mainly sells antiques and rare treasures, and the price-performance ratio is very high."

There was a gleam in his eyes.

Few people come to the shop in Pluto City, and if there are people coming, they are important figures in Pluto City who ask their men to buy things.

He didn't want to see these people because they bargained rudely and never listened to reason.

But he had no other choice and didn't dare to reason with these people.

Once he said a few more words to someone and was immediately beaten up.

He never dared to say more after that.

Ye Lingyun was slightly stunned: "Isn't it said that only warriors above level 16 can enter Pluto City? What is your realm, shopkeeper?"

He felt a little strange.

The shopkeeper saw that Ye Lingyun was easy to talk to, and he could tell at a glance that he was not from Pluto City. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly:

"You may not know, but we who run shops here were lured in by their flattering words, saying how good this place is."

“We also feel that business here is very good.”

"But we regretted it after we came in."

Ye Lingyun said, "Regret it? Why?"

"You spoke like this to me the first time we met. Aren't you afraid that they would know?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked unhappy: "They don't come to inspect normally, so they wouldn't know about it."

"Everyone who comes in here regrets it. The rent of the shops here is a hundred times that of ordinary shops outside, and there are not many customers."

"After we came in, they directly assigned us a store, without giving us any choice."

"We couldn't leave even if we wanted to. They said arrogantly that once we came in, we would never leave, as going out would reveal the secrets of this place."

"We can't stop doing it. If we talk too much, we'll get beaten."

"We said we didn't have that much Hellstone, and they said we could pay on credit, but the interest would be ten times higher."

"We wanted to cry but had no tears. We knew we had entered a place that was more terrible than prison. However, we were too weak to resist and could only endure it."

The shopkeeper hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. Once he opened his mouth, it was like a flood that broke through the dam and he couldn't stop talking:

"No one here is talking about it. We can't walk around between shops, let alone communicate."

"Also, we can't go out. We can only greet guests at the door occasionally, but we can't stay outside for long."

At this point he realized that he had said too much: "I'm sorry, I finally met someone who can talk, and I can't stop talking now."

"Well, what do you want? Here are ancient writing brushes, inkstones, and antique porcelain. You can follow me upstairs to have a look. There are not many things on display here."

Ye Lingyun nodded: "Okay, take me upstairs to have a look."

As he stepped onto the first step, he suddenly exclaimed, and looked at a pitch-black potted plant beside the steps: "This potted plant is a good thing."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the Black Guanyin Iron Tree from the underworld, right?"

The shopkeeper gave Ye Lingyun a thumbs up and said, "Your Excellency has a very good eye. You recognized it right away."

"This thing is an heirloom from my ancestors. I put it here for viewing, not for sale. Please understand."

Ye Lingyun said, "That's a pity. I've been traveling in the underworld for a few months and I've bought everything I need. I don't even like ordinary things."

The shopkeeper shook his head firmly: "Things left by our ancestors cannot be sold. I'm sorry."

"I have no one to keep me company here, and this thing has become the one I talk to. I don't know how lonely I would be without it."

Ye Lingyun was helpless: "Okay, let's go upstairs and see if there is anything I like."

He felt very sorry.

The leaves of the black angelica tree are like needles and extremely hard, and its branches are not only hard but also very tough.

By taking off the leaves and branches, you can make powerful weapons, such as whips, bows and arrows.

He had always wanted to find some materials to make weapons for the woman, but he hadn't found anything suitable.

But I encountered it here, and it was a pity that I couldn’t take it away.

Ye Lingyun followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The second floor is filled with antiques of various sizes, all of which emit a glowing black light. It is obvious at first glance that they are very old, and they are all good things.

He couldn't help but admire: "The things here are indeed good things. I'll take them all if I like them."

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned when he heard this: "You're taking them all?"

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "These antiques of mine are very expensive. If you take them all, I will have nothing left."

"However, if you don't have that many spirit stones, you can exchange them for something else."

Ye Lingyun was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Take something else in exchange?"

"By the way, you don't have any price tags on these things. Tell me the prices of these things first."

He had a vague feeling that the things here must be very expensive.

Just imagine, the rent here is a hundred times higher than outside, and the things here are also very good, so the prices must not be cheap.

When doing business, merchants always include the rent in the goods.

The shopkeeper pointed to a black snuff bottle and said, "This snuff bottle costs 50,000 Hellstones."

He pointed at other things and began to introduce them: "The price of this scroll is 150,000 Ming stones, the price of this judge's pen is 200,000 Ming stones, and the price of this porcelain bottle is 80,000 Ming stones..."

When introducing these things, he showed no impatience at all and explained patiently.

There hadn't been a single outside guest here for eight or ten years, so it was quite new for him to come here, so naturally he wouldn't be impatient.

However, his offers one by one surprised Ye Lingyun.

The things here are not just expensive, they are too expensive.

The same thing is ten times more than what is available outside.

But it's understandable.

It's not just the rent, most of the things here are things Ye Lingyun has never seen before.

The things here are not only of collection value, but the abundant dark energy on them shows that the materials used to make them are very expensive.

He took a quick look and found that there were about a thousand items on the second floor. It would cost too much to buy them all and it was not worth it.

However, the shopkeeper repeatedly emphasized that it was possible to exchange, so Ye Lingyun had to try to communicate with the shopkeeper: "The things here are indeed very expensive, but you just said that you can exchange things. I wonder what you want to exchange?"

He has acquired a lot of good stuff during his travels over the past few months, and it would be best if they could be exchanged.

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned and then nodded: "I am usually the only one here, lonely and bored."

"If you can give me some livestock like cats and dogs, or some birds, fish is also fine."
