Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 521: Feng Bailing Turns Decay into Wonder
"The soldiers tasked with delivering the Heavenly Stone convoy expressed their dejection.
"How else can we handle this? We have no choice but to abandon them. They’re clearly Heavenly Stones, so how did they turn into Waste Stone?"
General Zhou sighed deeply as he faced the injured soldiers and the damaged vehicles.
He knew that even if he returned to the Yong Country to send another batch of Heavenly Stones, the Underworld Market would certainly drive down the price again, and no one could guarantee that they wouldn’t also reject the new stones as Waste Stone.
General Zhou, a man standing tall at nearly seven feet, was now helpless, calling to the heavens and earth without any response, unsure of what to do, when someone beside him suddenly spoke up.
"General Zhou."
A burly man, looking every bit the part of a mercenary, had just arrived at the city gate and hurriedly came over to greet General Zhou when he saw him.
General Zhou took a careful look and found the man somewhat familiar.
"General Zhou, do you remember me? I am Zhang Dafa from the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. I visited you at the Yong Country border military camp last time."
Zhang Dafa was very polite to General Zhou, showing no signs of resentment from their previous cold meeting. He even invited General Zhou to the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce for a talk.
Only then did General Zhou recall Zhang Dafa, feeling somewhat embarrassed. The last time, due to threats from the Underworld Market, he had heavily ridiculed the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. He hadn’t expected that they would still treat him so warmly when he was down on his luck.
After arriving at the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Dafa had Zhang Erfa serve tea and golden sore medicine, and warmly inquired about General Zhou’s well-being, even sending Zhang Erfa to take the soldiers to dine and rest.
General Zhou was even more touched by the gesture.
"I heard about what happened in the Yong Country. The Underworld Market is going too far, refusing perfectly good Heavenly Stones. How will you report back this time?"
Zhang Dafa asked warmly.
General Zhou replied with a laugh tinged with bitterness.
"If there’s a problem with the Heavenly Stones I bring next time, the Emperor will certainly hold me accountable, and I might very well lose my head."
"General Zhou, I happen to have a method. If the Underworld Market won’t take these stones, why not sell them to our Phoenix Chamber of Commerce? The quality of these stones isn’t great this time, but we can offer to buy them at half their price. In the future, we’ll purchase any Heavenly Stones you bring as long as the quality is good. We will offer the same price as the Underworld Market used to."
Zhang Dafa spoke earnestly, and General Zhou was stunned upon hearing this.
"But those stones, as you probably know, might not be able to be refined into Heavenly Iron."
Though angered, General Zhou didn’t dare to doubt Master Lu’s words. After all, Master Lu’s ability to identify Heavenly Stones was recognized by the Ten Countries. For the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce to want to purchase this batch of Waste Stones—it was no small sum.
"General Zhou, I trust that there won’t be any problems with the Heavenly Stones provided by the Yong Country. Even if there are some issues this time, the quality won’t be bad next time. Not only that, I have some good news to share. It’s not only the Underworld Market that can forge Heavenly Weapons; our Phoenix Chamber of Commerce can also forge Heavenly Weapons now."
Then, fearing that General Zhou might not believe him, Zhang Dafa took out a dagger.
The dagger was pitch black, gleaming with a chilling light.
Zhang Dafa pulled out a strand of hair, and as it touched the dagger, it immediately snapped into two.
General Zhou’s eyes lit up. He had some reservations about Zhang Dafa’s proposal. If he went against the wishes of the Underworld Market to cooperate with the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, the Underworld Market would no longer cooperate with the Yong Country, and the Emperor would surely be displeased. But if the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce could also provide Heavenly Weapons, then it was a different matter.
General Zhou and Zhang Dafa were in immediate agreement. General Zhou’s convoy of Heavenly Stones was sold to the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce at half price. At the same time, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce also agreed that once they refined Heavenly Iron, they would forge or sell Heavenly Weapons to the Yong Country at fifty percent cost.
General Zhou expressed his profound gratitude before taking his leave.
After watching General Zhou depart, Zhang Dafa smiled broadly, thinking to himself that Feng San was indeed prescient—the issue of the Heavenly Stones had been resolved.
"Big brother, can those stones outside really be refined into Heavenly Iron? I heard that the Heavenly Stones provided by the Yong Country are all Waste Stone."
The rejection of the Yong Country’s Heavenly Stones had spread all over Qinghe City; naturally, Zhang Erfa had also heard about it.
"You’re mistaken, the Heavenly Stones from the Yong Country have no issues at all. The reason why that batch became Waste Stone was all thanks to Feng San’s trickery."
Zhang Dafa said meaningfully.
Zhang Erfa looked puzzled.
"Feng San can perform magic tricks?"
"I don’t know the specifics, but Feng San said we had to buy up the Yong Country’s Heavenly Stones. Going forward, our Phoenix Chamber of Commerce will also be able to provide Heavenly Iron."
Zhang Dafa did not know that Feng Bailing was not using any tricks; she had simply used the Amber Spider.
Originally, when the Three Kingdoms sent the Heavenly Stones to the Underworld Market, Feng Bailing had brought the Amber Spider to the entrance of the Underworld Market.
Subsequently, Feng Bailing went to meet Dugu Wu, leaving the Amber Spider at the entrance of the Underworld Market.
Following Feng Bailing’s earlier instructions, the Amber Spider lay on the ground, waiting for Changsun Rou’s return.
Changsun Rou first sampled the Heavenly Stones from the other two countries, leaving the last convoy with the Yong Country’s Heavenly Stones.
The Amber Spider took advantage of the time when Master Lu was appraising the other two convoys and devoured all the Heavenly Iron from the final convoy’s Heavenly Stones.
Feng Bailing had also secretly contacted Zhang Dafa to look for General Zhou from the Yong Country.
Sure enough, when the Yong Country learned that the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce could also provide Heavenly Weapons, General Zhou did not hesitate to cooperate with them. In this way, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce would also have the raw materials to refine Heavenly Iron in the future.
After feasting on Heavenly Iron, the Amber Spider returned to the inn. Meanwhile, at the inn, Feng Bailing was earnestly arguing with Dugu Wu about the matter of the "Black Fog."
