Chapter 1146: The Business
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After staying in the Immortal Farming Pavilion for less than half an hour, Zhang Tie had already closed this deal. After paying for half of the total expenditure as the down payment and signing a contract with Immortal Farming Pavilion, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian left.
The contract value of this seeds bank was 3.1 million gold coins, which included the freight. After a month, Herbal Medicine Palace would transport these plant seeds to Xuantian City of Iron-Dragon Sect. These plant seeds didn’t include over 90 extremely rare ones such as fiery-flame lotus seed, golden glossy ganoderma seed and dragon-digesting grass seed and mutated ones.
After finishing this task, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. Previously, Zhang Tie constantly teleported plant seeds into Castle of Black Iron. However, there were only tens of thousands of kinds of plant seeds in Castle of Black Iron, which was far less than that provided by Immortal Farming Pavilion. The plant seeds provided by Immortal Farming Pavilion even included those from other continents, subcontinents and Earth-elements Realm, besides those in Taixia Country.
Of course, these plant seeds would be teleported into Castle of Black Iron. As he was in Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie prepared to complement the plant seeds in Castle of Black Iron so as to make biological resources in Castle of Black Iron plentiful.
Zhang Tie had already got a plan. He would fill Castle of Black Iron with the most fundamental plant resources at first; after that, he would gradually fill animal resources into Castle of Black Iron according to the pass order of food chain. When he was free, he would expand the land area in Castle of Black Iron by hundreds of times, even thousands of times. After such a series of operations, the ecosphere in Castle of Black Iron would be completely consistent with that of the outside. Such an ecosphere would be more vigorous and suitable for human habitation.
In this holy war, even major sects like Taiyi Fantasy Sect which had powerful sage-level knights had made the worst preparation. After knowing this information, even though Zhang Tie was confident about humans, he didn’t feel that he could match Taiyi Fantasy Sect in power. Therefore, it was necessary for him to leave a room for maneuver. Zhang Tie used these plant seeds to manage his room for maneuver. As many major clans and sects were expanding their plant seeds banks, it was not special for Zhang Tie to expand his seeds bank as the owner of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and the master of Iron-Dragon Sect.
“Immortal Farming Pavilion is really good at making money. Over 3 million gold coins could only afford over 500,000 kinds of plant seeds. 6 gold coins for one kind of plant seed on average. If I fetch someone casually outside Immortal Farming Pavilion and pay him 10 gold coins, he could at least give me hundreds of plant seeds near Xuanyuan Hill. In the south border of Taixia Country, many plant seeds are almost free. With one gold coin, you could have people collect hundreds of plant seeds for you.”
Even Bai Suxian who didn’t care about money also knew that Zhang Tie had spent too much on seeds. To be honest, these plant seeds weren’t worth so much. Although over 3 million gold coins were nothing for Zhang Tie, it was an astronomical wealth for commoners. In Taixia Country, if a common family could have a deposit of thousands of gold coins in the bank, it was already a well-off family, not to mention over 3 million gold coins. Even commoners could collect these plant seeds.
Zhang Tie shook his head with a smile, “You can not do accounts in this way. If these seeds are sold one by one, they are not even worth 100,000 gold coins; however, after gathering all of them, their value skyrocketed. Over 3 million gold coins are not the value of those seeds, but the value of the ability of Jiang Clan of Herbal Medicine Palace which integrates with these plant seeds resources. Besides Jiang Clan, any individual or clan might have to spend far more than 3 million gold coins and longer time for such a complete seeds bank from continents, subcontinents, underground space even Earth-elements Realm. Jiang Clan has realized the value of their integrating ability; therefore, they price the complete seeds bank so high!”
“Are you angry about that?” Bai Suxian asked Zhang Tie when they walked out of Immortal Farming Pavilion and entered the wide lane.
“Nothing to be angry about. I just admire their integrating ability. They deserve that price!” Zhang Tie replied straightforwardly; meanwhile, he made a hand gesture and said, “There were two most profitable businesses in the world: first, monopoly. As you’re the only seller, you could make profits all the way. Nobody else could imitate you; second, take Jiang Clan as an instance, they integrate with many common resources for sale. The first business depends on the monopoly qualification on exclusive goods or rights; the second business depends on insight and integrating ability. These seeds are just there. Everybody could do such a business; however, only Jiang Clan across the world could integrate over 500,000 kinds of plant seeds. Therefore, they deserve that price!”
“After listening to you, even I start to admire Jiang Clan of Herbal Medicine Palace. However, how do you understand business so well?” Bai Suxian asked Zhang Tie as she grabbed Zhang Tie’s arm.
Zhang Tie blinked his eyes, “Have you forgotten about my job when I was young?”
Bai Suxian immediately remembered that Zhang Tie once served as a salesman in a grocery when in Blackhot City through Zhang Tie’s article in the forum of Mountain of Brilliance.
The two people then burst out into laughter at the same time.
“Where are we going?”
“Is there any place that sells secret methods in Gold and Power Market?”
“How could people sell secret methods in the public?”
“I mean incomplete ones such as Robust Ox Skill and Heavenly Blue Technique .”
“Besides those who couldn’t promote to a knight, anyone who might promote to a knight would not cultivate such secret methods. What do you want them for?” Bai Suxian asked Zhang Tie with a curious look.
“Do you remember Xu Yian in Xuajia Village?” Zhang Tie mentioned the small village that he and Bai Suxian once saved at the critical moment from bloody figures.
“Yes, I do!” Bai Suxian nodded.
“Xu Yian said that he cultivated Heavenly Blue Technique . The complete version of Heavenly Blue Technique is count-level Heavenly God Sutra . It even contains a complete Heavenly God’s Saber Skill . Although being limited to cultivation level, Xu Yian couldn’t play the full effect of Heavenly God’s Saber Skill . However, the count-level battle skill is also powerful enough. I was thinking that now that there is a corresponding battle skill being attached to Heavenly Blue Technique , there should also be complete secret skills being attached to other secret methods!”
“Secret methods which contain corresponding battle skills are at least on count-level. Even baron-level and viscount-level secret methods are not matched with corresponding battle skills. However, if the cultivators of these battle skills don’t promote to a knight, they couldn’t even exert 1/10 of the maximal power of these battle skills as they could not coordinate these battle skills with the corresponding surging points and the ability of their chakras of the corresponding secret methods. Do you really want to learn these battle skills?”
“Stones in other mountains could be used to refine jades!” Zhang Tie turned solemn, “After the battle with Nangong Sheng, I’ve got a lot of insights. If I could learn from other battle skills and secret methods on other levels, I might make further progress in my cultivation base.”
“I see!” Bai Suxian revealed a serious look, “I’ve not been to such a place. However, I remember that there’s a store called Semi-jade Pavilion in Gold and Power Market which especially sells incomplete secret methods. It’s even a bit well-known!”
Zhang Tie tried to recover his composure as he said calmly, “That’s great, let’s take a look over there!”
…
Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian strolled in Gold and Power Market as they asked passers-by about the location of that Semi-jade Pavilion. After 1 hour, they finally came to the front store of Semi-jade Pavilion.
Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian knew that they were followed by some “tails”. However, they didn’t care about that.
Compared to the tranquil Immortal Farming Pavilion, Semi-jade Pavilion looked utterly different. The 3-storey front store, the shiny obsidian floor and the two rows of sturdy armored mighty guardians made it look like a court’s residence.
“What do you see?” Zhang Tie asked Bai Suxian with a smile.
“It seems that this place rips off people, too!”
Zhang Tie nodded as he could basically confirm that most of the customers in Semi-jade Pavilion didn’t have a strong battle strength and background. Because they had no cultivation resource or chance, they came here to select a cultivation method although they could not promote to a knight anymore. Therefore, the arrangement in Semi-jade Pavilion was superficial. Customers could understand the value of the arrangement at the sight of it. Customers here might not understand the value of peony blooms and top-quality wild spring tea water in Immortal Farming Pavilion. Therefore, Bai Suxian’s comment was spot on.
The two people then entered the resplendent and magnificent Semi-jade Pavilion…
At the sight of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian entering Semi-jade Pavilion, a “tail” after them kept a close watch on the gate of Semi-jade Pavilion as he pressed one hand onto the other wrist, where there was a remote-sensing crystal…
…
“Master, Cui Li and Bai Suxian have just entered Semi-jade Pavilion. I’ve also figured out their deal with Immortal Farming Pavilion. Cui Li bought a lot of plant seeds from Jiang Clan. The trade volume is 3.1 million gold coins…”
After Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian entered Semi-jade Pavilion for less than 1 minute, the guy with a long face and sparse beard whom Zhang Tie slapped twice yesterday was reporting Han Yuanhong about the traces of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian. Since Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian entered Gold and Power Market, Han Yuanhong’s subordinates had been keeping a close watch on them.
After hearing the report, Han Yuanhong revealed a sneer as he mocked, “Seeds bank? This Cui Li is really patriotic. Does he still think that he is the provincial governor of Youzhou Province? Although I could not interfere with the deal between them and Jiang Clan, didn’t they ask who was the boss of Semi-jade Pavilion before they entered that store? Han Sui, go to Semi-jade Pavilion; I think you already know what to do…”If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible.
