I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 222 - 5: The First Thing Upon Return Is, of Course, to Reap the Leeks!
Lin Chen extended three fingers and said calmly:
"Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, how about it?"
Li Dongkun didn’t rush to agree but furrowed his brows and paced back and forth.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Lin Chen, saying:
"Senior Han, it’s a deal!"
"I, Li, will buy this Golden Yuan Pill even if I have to sell everything..."
"Please give me seven days, and I guarantee I will gather these three hundred thousand Spirit Stones within that time!"
Lin Chen nodded slightly, not surprised by Li Dongkun’s reaction.
"In that case, I shall await Patriarch Li’s good news then..."
...
After Lin Chen left, Li Dongkun brought out several Storage Bags and opened the accounts book, reviewing the Li Family’s savings from recent years.
After a while, Li Dongkun looked worried.
"Sigh, even with a century of accumulation and the rapid development in recent years, the Spirit Stones we’ve amassed aren’t three hundred thousand!"
"Looks like I’ll have to sell off this batch of Top Grade Magical Artifacts first, and then figure out how to borrow a few sums of Spirit Stones from other families..."
A flash of ambition flickered in Li Dongkun’s eyes; he was willing to sacrifice half of the Li Family’s wealth to produce a Core Formation Cultivator for the family!
Years ago, when Li Zhenqian was in Foundation Establishment, Li Dongkun used his personal savings.
That was for his personal desire, for his son, so he couldn’t use the family’s funds.
But things are different now; if a Golden Core can be born, it’s a major event for the entire family!
A family with a Golden Core and one without are on entirely different levels.
This is a major event that would allow the entire family to leap forward.
"Moreover, Qian’Er has a Single Spirit Root and Perfect Foundation Establishment. Coupled with a Top Grade Golden Yuan Pill, there’s a chance for a Seventh-grade or even Eighth-grade Golden Core!"
"There’s even the future potential to ascend to Nascent Soul!"
Thinking of this, Li Dongkun didn’t hesitate any longer and promptly gathered the family elders to hold a meeting, preparing to crowd-source and purchase that Top Grade Golden Yuan Pill.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Chen didn’t stay long in Yanlai City but instead hurried toward Guangyuan Town.
"Tsk tsk, after two or three years without such transactions, those crops must’ve grown again! It’s time to harvest them fiercely..."
As Lin Chen controlled his Magical Artifact, he pondered continuously.
With more than two years of accumulation, Lin Chen brought back exotic metals and herbs from the Golden Yuan Sect to the Great Xia Country.
The supply of Top Grade Magical Artifacts isn’t endless, but taking out a few thousand pieces is quite easy.
Even Treasure Artifacts are no less than a thousand pieces...
As for the Golden Yuan Pills, due to the many herbs he brought back from the Golden Yuan Sect’s relics,
coupled with the Nation’s Alchemy Department’s research, refining Golden Yuan Pills has become quite easy.
Upper Grade and below qualities of Golden Yuan Pills can all be mass-produced, and selling a few pieces doesn’t trouble Lin Chen at all.
"After all, Golden Core and Foundation Establishment are the major dividing lines... If the Righteous Alliance had enough Golden Core Cultivators, even if I don’t make a move, they could suppress the Demon Sect!"
Lin Chen thought silently.
In his hands are no fewer than a hundred ordinary quality Golden Yuan Pills, easily selling for millions of Spirit Stones.
When he was not far from Guangyuan Town, Lin Chen summoned Long Ba and Feng Jiu, giving them a batch of Magical Treasures for them to trade on their own.
Afterward, Lin Chen once again transformed into the appearance of Master Five Thunders and headed to the Guangyuan Auction House.
During the two and a half years, there were quite a few changes at the Guangyuan Auction House.
Lin Chen walked around the auction venue but didn’t see Chairman Zheng’s figure, frowning slightly.
"Sure enough, Chairman Zheng also perished in that battle..."
While Lin Chen was pondering, a figure walked over to him.
He was a lean young man with a mustache.
After sizing up Lin Chen, he politely asked:
"Fellow Daoist seems to be looking for someone? Is there a familiar partner you’re searching for?"
Lin Chen nodded, "I’m a disciple of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, referred to in this Marketplace as Master Five Thunders. I was friends with the former Chairman Zheng..."
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, the young man was taken aback.
"You, you’re Master Five Thunders?"
He then became excited and said:
"Chairman Zheng has been promoted to the position of steward at the Commerce Headquarters!"
"I am the new chairman of the Guangyuan Auction House, Master can just call me Chairman Liu..."
"Before leaving, he specifically instructed me to treat you well if I ever encountered you..."
"Please, Master, come inside. Chairman Zheng also left behind a recording..."
Chairman Zheng didn’t die?
Lin Chen was slightly surprised but followed Chairman Liu into the VIP suite with a nod.
After entering the suite, Chairman Liu took out a Memory Stone.
Lin Chen watched the scene projected by the Memory Stone, his face slightly astonished.
Because what was shown on it was the battle scene of Long Ba, Feng Jiu, and the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster...
After watching the video, Lin Chen’s expression remained calm.
While Chairman Liu was winking and nudging, saying:
"Master Five Thunders, thanks to this recording, our Guangyuan Commerce Association has made a huge profit... Chairman Zheng also used this opportunity to get promoted to steward."
"Nowadays, the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect is renowned throughout Qing State, and many forces wish to trade with your sect..."
Lin Chen remained silent upon hearing this, thinking to himself:
"No wonder the Li Family was so courteous before... I didn’t expect this recording to have been released..."
He thought incessantly.
In the Cultivation Realm, while there isn’t recording technology, the Memory Stone can record real scenes.
Such battles involving Golden Core Stage life-and-death struggles are, of course, extremely precious, with many cultivators eager to witness such prowess.
And many commerce associations profit greatly from these precious Memory Stones...
"However, with this recording out, the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect has gone from being in the shadows to being in the public eye, which has its pros and cons..."
Lin Chen thought silently.
The advantage is, of course, that the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect’s fame has grown, which will make future transactions much more convenient for Lin Chen.
He won’t even have to look for them; many cultivators and factions, intrigued by the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect’s fame, will likely approach them.
