Chapter 27: Chapter 23 Bait

Translator: 549690339

Dayu Mountain separates the north from the south, a famous large mountain in the south of Yue Country.

South from here lies Southsea’s Nanxiong Prefecture, while to the north is Yuzhang’s Luling Prefecture.

These two prefectures, divided by a large mountain, are not only different in geographical administration but also in culture and customs.

The simplest difference.

Yuzhang is still developing, densely populated, and is a famous land of fish and rice. However, Southsea Prefecture is located in the wilderness, scarcely populated, and is notoriously a place of exile.

A single mountain divides the south and north, creating two entirely different worlds for the people on each side.

“So what does the Dayu Mountain Arrow God’s actions have to do with me, Yuzhang Luyuan?

After half a month of journeying south from Dayu Mountain, crossing numerous dangerous peaks, Luyuan finally reached the Nanxiong Prefecture of Southsea Prefecture, enjoying the county town’s view from the mountain foothills with a smile.

He certainly picked a good place, particularly because he was planning to sell valuable fur.

Luyuan had already gathered the necessary information.

Luling Prefecture serves as the Iron Sword Sect’s territory, with 18 counties under it. They all belong to the sect’s territory. Groups like the Black Wolf gang at Dayu County are periphery powers of the Iron Sword Sect.

Within this area, avoiding the gaze of the Black Wolf Gang while selling fur is almost impossible.

So, if he wanted to make a deal unnoticed, he must find a foreign prefecture and keep away from the territories of Luling Prefecture.

But no prefecture is safer than the one separated by another jurisdiction.

So, at first, when he decided to avoid the Black Wolf Gang and fend off their exploitations, Luyuan opted for Nanxiong Prefecture as his selling channel.

How to deal with the gangs in Nanxiong Prefecture?

“I don’t plan to do business here long-term. After I enter the county town, avoid gang members, sell my goods, and run away from town, who would know who I am?” Luyuan said with a smile.

Hit once, and then disappear – a proven great strategy.

He took the iron bow and arrows he carried and buried them in a hidden area about five miles from the county town.

After making the necessary safety preparations.

Luyuan, with his backpack, entered the county town of Nan’an, under

Nanxiong Prefecture, after paying twenty copper coins as a city entry tax. f reewe bnovel

Seeing the county town much less populated than Dayu County, he couldn’t help but sigh.

The same type of county town, Nan’an County is obviously poorer than Dayu County, and likewise, the city entry tax is also much less here.

‘Of course, it is also possible that the officials here are not as corrupt as those in Dayu County.’

Thought Luyuan, he looked at the bustling street, found a bun shop, bought two buns while casually asking the shop owner for directions

During the short journey, he was very cautious, avoiding or distracting anyone who looked suspicious and could possibly be a gang member.

He made every effort to ensure that no one realized he was selling fur. Perhaps because Luyuan was unfamiliar to them, or his actions on the road were effective.

By the time he arrived at the city’s only fur shop, no one had noticed he was selling fur.

Luyuan safely entered this shop named Tonghai Trading Company.

“Are you new here?”

The shopkeeper was a lean, sharp-looking old man who squinted at Luyuan when he came in and asked.

“Indeed, I haven’t been here often.”

Luyuan replied casually, not wanting to talk more, immediately set down his backpack, opened the lid and said to the shopkeeper, “I have some furs, do you buy them?”

The old shopkeeper came over, flipped through the skins in the backpack, and showed surprise after seeing a wealth of wolf skins, leopard skins, and tiger skins.

He had never seen so many high-quality goods coming from the same person.

“All of my skins are of excellent quality, and they are all rare. Can you take them all?” Luyuan keenly observed the shopkeeper’s every move and asked earnestly.

“Yes, of course we can,”

The old shopkeeper looked away, turned to Luyuan, and replied with slight enthusiasm.

Although the wolf skins and leopard skins were special, they weren’t rare commodities. They only attracted attention because of their excellence and lack of damage.

But the tiger skin was different.

As the king of the mountain, the tiger is always immensely fierce.

Even if the hunters were to hunt the tiger, they would not even think about it without getting a group of more than ten people and being prepared for some fatalities.

But even then, after such a brutal fight, if the tiger was captured, its skin would have been largely destroyed.

In contrast, this flawless tiger skin in front of him was considered a rare good wherever it was placed.

Able to secure this deal, he could instantly make a profit. Even more so, if he found the right client, he could make a profit up to ten times its original price.

Therefore, this old shopkeeper would not miss this big deal.

“Five wolf skins, excellent quality, each can be priced at one silver tale. Ten fox skins, excellent quality, each can be priced at three silver tales. Three leopard skins, excellent quality, each can be priced at five silver tales. One tiger skin, excellent quality, priced at…”

The old shopkeeper paused at this point, looked at Luyuan, seemed to be considering that if he offered too low, he could turn away and leave, so he hesitated for a moment and said, “The tiger skin is priced at eighty silver tales, okay?”

“Okay.” Luyuan nodded.

His original expectation was sixty silver tales, and getting an extra twenty silver tales was already a great deal..
