Chapter 4916

“You go in and exchange the immortal coins. I won’t follow you,”
the big man said to Kai and the others.

Left with no other option, Kai entered Tianbao Pavilion with Hu Mazi and Xiu Rui.

The big man stood guard outside, making it impossible for them to escape.

As they stepped inside, a clerk quickly approached.
“Are you here to pawn or sell?” he asked politely.

“How does the exchange for immortal coins work here at Tianbao Pavilion?”
Kai inquired.

The clerk glanced over the three of them, then smiled slightly.
“You were just brought in by the Dao, weren’t you?”

Kai nodded. There was no point in hiding it—his first-grade Immortal Realm cultivation made it obvious to anyone.

“We offer prices based on the goods you bring. You’ll need to take them out for an appraisal,”
the clerk explained.

“But what if you deliberately undervalue our items? We wouldn’t be able to argue the price, would we?”
Hu Mazi questioned.

“Then don’t sell. It’s not like I’m forcing you,”
the clerk replied curtly and turned to leave.

“Wait, brother—can you at least take a look?”
Kai called out, stopping him. With no better choice, he pulled out a few unneeded items from his storage bag.

Most of the immortal stones Kai had were already consumed during cultivation, and only a handful remained, along with a few miscellaneous items.

“You two, take out what you’ve got as well,”
Kai urged Hu Mazi and Xiu Rui.

“I’ve been in the mortal world all this time. I don’t have anything valuable,”
Hu Mazi said, laying out the shabby belongings he carried.

Xiu Rui emptied his storage all at once, but unfortunately, none of it seemed worth much either.

The clerk glanced over the scattered items and rolled his eyes.
“All this together… maybe fifty immortal coins at best,”
he said with a scoff.
“Fifty immortal coins?”

Kai and the others were stunned when they heard that!

All their belongings combined were only worth fifty immortal coins—still far from the one thousand they needed!

“Little brother, you must be mistaken. These items of ours are all treasures!”
Hu Mazi protested.

“They may be treasures in your lower realm, but up here, they’re just garbage,”
the clerk replied with disdain.

That sentence was a serious blow to their morale.

“Master Hu, what now? You just had to show off—now where are we supposed to get immortal coins?”
Kai asked helplessly.

Hu Mazi looked just as frustrated.
“Kai, don’t you still have some magic weapons? Try taking one out—maybe it’s worth something,”
he suggested.

But Kai looked at him warily and shook his head.
“Don’t even think about it. I’m not selling any of my weapons!”

“Even if I had to sell you, I still wouldn’t sell those!”
he added.

Kai knew full well that his Dragon-Slaying Sword, God King Bow, and Dragon Pattern Bell were all critical for his survival. Not to mention the Demon-Subduing Whip—how could he part with such a powerful weapon?

“Brother, do you take people? How about we sell him?”
Kai joked, pointing at Hu Mazi.

The clerk glanced at Hu Mazi and snorted.
“Wouldn’t take him even for free. He’s just a waste of food.”

“Who the hell are you calling a waste of food?!”
Hu Mazi snapped angrily.

Xiu Rui quickly pulled him back.
“Master Hu, calm down—it’s just a joke. Don’t make a scene in Tianbao Pavilion, or we’ll all be in trouble.”

Xiu Rui understood that any establishment like Tianbao Pavilion in a city like this had to be backed by real power.

Kai noticed Hu Mazi was getting worked up, so he turned to the clerk.
“Brother, do you also accept pawns? Can we redeem the items later?”

“Of course, but pawns have a time limit. If you don’t reclaim the item within the period, it becomes ours,”
the clerk replied with a nod.

Kai gave it some thought, then took out the token Niu Li had given him.

Since it came from Niu Li, and she was a princess, it had to be worth something.
