"For this vial of heart-quenching mulberry dew," Li Gang said, holding up the vial, "the seller has requested the following items with a descending degree of value to him."
"Of note, I need to inform all of you that the seller is not present at the moment, so the listed items are set. There will be no suggestion of alternatives. What will be accepted is only what has been requested on the list," Li Gang evenly explained.
After ensuring the point had been registered, he continued: "First on the list in degree of importance is the heartwood of a monarch grade Four Skies Banyan Tree. If you have one from a top-tier monarch grade," Li Gang paused, looking intently at the crowd, "the seller has requested that the trade be made instantly, and the remaining items on the list need not be mentioned."
