Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The iron tiger race couldn’t be considered poor. At the Xuanwu ancestor level, when they went down the cloud ocean to hunt, not only did they no need to hand over beast crystals, they would instead take salary from Gantian Mountain.
Apart from Hu Qianqiu, within the iron tiger race, there were still numerous earth chakra 7 meridians. Their income was also really high. Each year, they would at least earn 40 thousand grade 4 beast crystals.
Hu Zhongyuan, as an elder of the iron tiger race and also a martial ancestor expert, even if his wealth couldn’t compare to him, he should have 2 thousand grade 4 beast crystals. Such shock would most probably be acted out instead of real.
Zong Shou was deep in thought, he first took out a purple-colored long spear stored in the bank, a close body soft armor and also some usable spiritual artifacts. Apart from which, there was a stack of true talismans, pills and soul stones.Zong Weiran placed in a lot of effort in his son. There were many types of items in the bank, a large portion were items that spirit masters could use, a whole bulk of them.
There were even tens of precious spirit master cultivation methods as well as talisman secret arts which surprised and delighted Zong Shou.
Walking out of the Sanlu Bank, Zong Shou directly walked towards the trading area of this Jiefu City. It was in the central hall of this cloud desolate era ship with close to 50 thousand feet of space.
At this place, there were 2 specifically crafted spiritual artifacts with spirit masters controlling them to form a giant screen.
People who come to this place to trade didn’t need to place up stalls or search around. If they wanted to buy or sell things, they would let the spirit master use a spell and form a series of words on the screen. It was convenient.
Only some special items could be auctioned off. However, on the screen, there would be a notification.
However, just as Zong Shou stood in front of one of the screens, he was filled with hesitation.When the 1st wave of the spiritual energy flood arrived, not only did prices of beast crystals and mind stones fell but other types of leather and materials, as well as spiritual grass, fell too. Even those gold, silver which people of the cloud continent used also fell.
What did they call it in the future? Inflation? That didn’t seem right. Anyways, along with the increase in various types of goods, the number of things beast crystals and mind stones could exchange for greatly reduced.
But such a situation was mostly useful for what normal people used. For example grain, various metals, etc resources.
Between one another, there was also intense price fluctuations due to production matters.
Only hundreds of items, as well as some spiritual treasures which maintained their rarity, had their prices fixed at a stable level.
It wasn’t difficult to maintain his wealth, but what Zong Shou wanted to do was to consider earning some money.
When he returned, to take charge of such a huge business like Gantian Mountain, it would be difficult. How could he do so without some accumulated wealth?
After thinking for a moment, Zong Shou had an idea, slightly gritting his teeth, “Brother Hu help me place out a few notices. I would like to purchase 250 million Naxi pills, 250 million energy-containing pills, 450 million energy purifying pills, 450 million bone training pills, 450 million meditation thought pills, 150 million yangxuan pills, and 150 million bright soul pills. These few pills, as long as their refining date is within 20 years, I want them all! Also, weapons, armor, all talisman artifacts, spiritual artifacts below grade 2, I want all there is!”
Hu Zhongyuan was startled. He started to wonder whether Zong Shou had become crazy?
2 days ago, he heard Zong Shou speak to Xuanyuan Tong about the depreciation of beast crystals and mind stones.
Although he didn’t think much about it, he wasn’t willing to say much. After all, whatever Zong Weiran left, Zong Shou could do whatever he wanted with it. Since Xuanyuan Tong also fully supported it, that thing might be possible.
However, he didn’t expect that Zong Shou would be so crazy!
Since he wanted to maintain the value, he could buy anything, why did he choose to buy these basic grade 1 pill.
…All the pills that Zong Shou mentioned were things as long as one opened the soul ocean and held soul power could refine.
The raw materials were really common, and their production amount was huge, which was why the various powers and sects would use them to develop their pill refiners.
Although the production amount was huge, only around 80% of them could be used.
These pills were either to train the body, supporting meditation. However, they couldn’t help to increase soul power and true qi. If one ate too much it was useless.
Within Donglin Cloud Continent, people with cultivation talents, spirit masters who can reach the soul observing realm and martial artists that reach martial master, there was only that amount. Which was why there were huge amounts that were stored up by those powers.
Tens of years later, when the pill spoils, they have to throw them away.
Gantian Mountain had only 10 years of history but the early stage pills in the storage were around a hundred million.
On the market, it was similar to cabbage, not worth to sell it. But if one just left it there it would just spoil.
Zong Shou was prepared to buy all these to create problems for himself?
As for those weapons and armor, at least they could last for a longer time. However, Gantian Mountain’s crafting industry was advanced and didn’t need to import. If he bought it he would just be storing them.
At this moment not only was Hu Zhongyuan shocked, but even Chuxue and Zong Yuan were also at a loss.
Tan Tao took in a deep breath after a short while he comprehended, “So the prince is certain the spiritual energy will increase and there would be more people able to breakthrough and cultivate? If that is the case, then buying the pills would be worth it! City lord had ordered that Xuan Mountain City will go hand in hand with young city lord. We might not have a lot of beast crystals in our storage, so we will just purchase the foundation stabilizing pill and meridian speeding pill!”
Seeing Hu Zhongyuan still not understand, Chuxue and Zongyuan both looking over in a daze, Tan Tao frowned and still explained, “The more people who can cultivate, the higher the demand for these supporting pills. Beast crystals and mind stones due to the change in heaven and earth would most probably have an increase. But these pills need grade 1 spirit masters to refine so how could the various powers develop so many pill makers in such a short time?”
Hu Zhongyuan and Zong Yuan we’re enlightened. Pill masters and weapon smiths needed to go through 3 stages of before they could grasp the skills required.
To develop a decent pill refiner, even if all herbs were provided it would still take 5-6 years.
During this period, this layer of pills would increase to a shocking price.
However, Chuxue still didn’t understand, unable to grasp the process within.
Tan Tao shook his head as he saw that, thinking that although the prince’s few subordinates were talented, they were all dumb.
Hu Zhongyuan didn’t know that he was insulted by Tan Tao in his heart. He understood that Zong Shou wanted to earn from all this, smiling as he went next to the screen to look for the presiding spirit master.
Handing over a few mind stones, in a short moment a few lines appeared on the screen.
Roughly that Gantian Mountain prince Zong Shou is searching for 250 million energy-containing pills, 250 million naxi pills, etc as well as weapons and armor.
Then, Hu Zhongyuan’s eyes turned. This time, whether or not they could earn money depended on whether the production of beast crystals and mind stones increased or not.
Thinking back to his memory, he remembered that these few trips to the cloud ocean. The amount they got increased by a lot. Especially grade 1-4 which had explosive growth. Speaking of which the situation seemed off.
A bright light appeared in his eyes. Without hesitation, he handed out a mind stone and passed it to the spiritual master who was at a loss. On the screen, a line of words was left.
May the heavens bless so that I can earn a bunch from this too. Even if I don’t earn don’t let me lose money. If my old man finds out that I used up all his retirement money, he will beat me up.
When the words went out, at first no one in the hall noticed. After a short moment, everyone was buzzing.
The entire hall was filled with people talking.
“Gantian Mountain Prince, isn’t it that trash prince? Is he crazy? 250 million naxi pills? 250 million energy-containing pills, 250 energy purifying pills. What does he want these initial grade pills for…”
“I heard of this person! I heard that a few days ago Xuan Mountain City lord Xuanyuan Tong has made him the young city lord of the city and is determined to marry his daughter to him. Why is he doing such a stupid thing at this moment?…”
“Such a huge amount added together won’t he need 400 thousand grade 4 mind stones? And also that armor and weapons, where did he get the money from?”
“You don’t have to worry, look at the last sentence. Sanlu Bank cheque transaction, it can’t be faked. Whether or not the prince has the money, we can just ask the bank! However what is he thinking of buying these things… is there something wrong with this prince?”
The corner of Zong Shou’s lips raised as he heard that. Although the number of people calling him useless and squandering his family’s wealth entered his ears which felt slightly annoying, overall his mood was still really good.
The trade he wanted was an ocean amount. Only those huge powers and sects could accept. They probably hadn’t reacted so he just went to a side and found an auction house auctioning grade 3 and above items.
He had no intention of buying anything, but he was just rich, randomly bidding at items but always managing to push to the other’s bottom line. After he pushed the price up he would back out, infuriating everyone in the hall who all looked at this selfish fellow with flames shooting out of their eyes. The auctioneer was smiling in delight, in just an hour he was delighted.
Following which as Long as Zong Shou was interested in something no one dared to compete with him. They all knew that this was a rich person who was stupid enough to spend 400 thousand grade 4 mind stones to purchase basic pills, no one dared to challenge him.
Then, auctioneer felt like crying with no tears coming out. Then, the auctioneer asked someone to take out 4 final earth energy pills. Only then did Zong Shou’s brows furrow slightly, showing some seriousness. His early-stage pills in the storage were around a hundred million
