The shopkeeper nodded, bending over the storage bag, and began calculating the value of its contents; it was merely his own assessment. He didn't take it out to sell immediately, of course, because he had selfish motives—after all, the materials were still in his hands!
He needed the pills for cultivation, and he also needed the various magical treasure materials. Using the money he had to buy what he required, he could manipulate things behind the scenes since the items hadn't reached the store yet. Once out in the open, manipulation would no longer be possible!

The shopkeeper was very cunning. Their shop could absorb external resources, and those entering probably had similar ideas!
The shopkeeper was quick at calculations, and nobody found it annoying!
