Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 745 - 721: Driving Fire, Devouring Fire (Part 3)
[Ice Flame: Level 4, requires the consumption of 20,000 Immortal Jade to reach the next level. Release of the flame can burn all worldly impurities, Purification Power +1000; can activate anti-pollution buff, the flame will envelop the whole body, providing body and mind pollution defense +500 effectiveness]
After devouring another group, the Ice Flame danced lively and successfully upgraded.
Seeing its new abilities after leveling up, Jiang Yuan opened the skills page to check. After acquiring the Great Wilderness Heart Method from the main storyline task, each time he suffered a pollution attack, he could gain poison resistance experience. Recently, dealing with weird creatures was frequent, and his poison resistance had brushed up to over 800 points.
Jiang Yuan wondered if the body and mind pollution defense provided by Ice Flame was the same thing as poison resistance.
He was busy until midnight, devouring three groups of wild Abnormal Fire and countless Earth Fire. The Earth Spirit Flame was still far ahead, advancing to Level 5, with a larger and stronger attack range and fire defense buff +1000 points.
The Ice Flame still had one-third of its experience bar unfilled and could only wait for the next opportunity to let it devour more.
"City Lord Ming, I had a friend inquire, and outside in the city’s market, not a single person has heard of Sand Hill City’s specialty firestone. Therefore, I think it will take time for other Demon Cultivators to accept it.
Meanwhile, the city residents urgently need Calming Pills, and we can’t delay cashing out any longer.
Why not let me purchase the city’s stockpile at a price of one Spirit Stone for five Level Three firestones, and I’ll take them outside to find sales channels? Once the market opens and supply-demand stabilizes, we’ll find a way to build a Teleportation Array." Jiang Yuan asked for the other’s opinion while looking at the thoroughly cleaned and unsealed Sky Pit.
Ming Qingyan couldn’t help but be taken aback, "No, no, no, sir, you can’t. What I mean is, even if you want to buy first and then slowly sell, you can’t purchase at such an exorbitant price!
I know you have a kind heart and want to help our tribe, but even during the highest profit periods, one Spirit Stone would buy eight firestones. You are the savior of the entire city; how can we let you spend so much? One Spirit Stone for ten firestones, and we’d be overjoyed, laughing in our dreams!"
He’s even curing the cold poison for free and dealing with troublesome Silver-footed Xue Ming Bugs!
Such immense favor and virtue cannot be repaid, even handing over all the stockpiled firestones would feel shabby, so how could we charge you a high price?
Jiang Yuan saw how strongly the other party insisted on lowering the price and felt they had been oppressed by unscrupulous traders for too long and too hard.
Indeed, in the Wilderness, the law of survival of the fittest prevails; whoever has the bigger fist is justified, otherwise, with a mining pit that can be exploited for hundreds of thousands of years, the Furious Fire Bear Race would have been swimming in wealth long ago!
After much bargaining from both sides, the initial trade price was set at 1:7, one Spirit Stone for seven Level Three firestones, and the rest of the lower-quality ones were half-sold, half-given, and all packed into Jiang Yuan’s Storage Bag.
"Five million Spirit Stones... oh my God! I couldn’t even dream of such a huge amount! Those unscrupulous traders not only worked hard to lower prices but also often delayed payment of Spirit Stones.
If it weren’t for the Furious Fire Bear Race’s natural aptitude for mining firestone and our easy-to-bully nature, this city might have already been trampled over!" Ming Qingyan was seeing stars looking at the inventory turning into heaps of Spirit Stones.
Both being City Lords, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help feeling more deeply how different her past life had been?
Geographical conditions are indeed a crucial factor; Carefree City is not very large either, but relying on the demon beast hunting industry, Gongxi Yanchang’s spending was exceptionally generous!
"Once the firestone market opens, City Lord Ming will soon savor the sweetness of having a family with a mine." He softly reminded, "The cold poison can be cured, and quite a few Bear Demons will surely get carried away, it’s time to give them a wake-up call."
With money and confidence in hand, Ming Qingyan’s lips slightly curved, "Sir, you are absolutely right, it will trouble you once more to put on a good show with me!"
