One spiritual stone could cover a meal at the inn, but a million spiritual stones was a fortune beyond imagination.
Though Bejeweled Tower was incredibly wealthy, it wasn't solely owned by the Sidorov family. Several families managed it, and Deimante's family held the largest share. For them, a million spiritual stones was no small change.
The problem was that she and Sebastian were strangers. Plus, she hadn't even caught a glimpse of his face. If he disappeared with the million spiritual stones, she knew it would be nearly impossible to explain that to her family.
"Okay. I'll transfer the funds to you." Deimante hesitated briefly but ultimately agreed.
The ability to refine a nine-striped third-grade pill indicated the work of at least a fourth-tier alchemist. After all, such alchemists were top-tier talents.
Deimante knew there were only two alchemists in the entire Windwalker Kingdom—one was the royal alchemist, and the other was Bejeweled Tower's chief alchemist. Even those two rarely refined a nine-striped third-grade pill.
This underscored just how remarkable it was to create such a pill. While she couldn't be sure the man before her had refined it, he was likely close to someone who could. It seemed unlikely he was a fraud, so she resolved to take the risk with the one million spiritual stones.
Afterward, Deimante transferred one million spiritual stones directly from the Chamber of Commerce's account to Sebastian's Supreme Black Card.
The card functioned like a bank card from the surface world and was called a Spiritual Card. However, both cards had to be placed together to transfer funds, and this offered much higher security.
The card was a unique magical artifact that needed blood to bind it to its owner. It could only belong to one person for life. If someone else found it, they couldn't use it.
Even if they tried to erase the previous owner's spiritual imprint, the card would self-destruct. With this card, users could access numerous large Chambers of Commerce to deposit or withdraw spiritual stones and facilitate trading with others with similar cards. Hence, it made the transactions convenient.
After Sebastian left, Edgar turned to Deimante and said, "Ms. Sidorov, we don't even know who he is. Is it wise to lend him one million spiritual stones?"
