You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 423 - 212: Qilin Arm (Part 2)
Only to see a warrior of the Qiongqi Race, clad in armor, standing in front of the Divine Blade Pavilion. He was tall and strong, as robust as an ox, with a majestic tiger head and wings on his back spreading to both sides like a cloak.
Hearing a guest at the door, Ye Qingzhou lifted his eyelids, glanced at the other, and was slightly surprised in his heart.
The person before him had a life energy level of at least three hundred, at least a Martial Arts Powerhouse of the Heaven-Ascending Third Layer Realm.
In the Martial Arts World of the Dongji Kingdom, this would be a powerful Upper-Rank Master!
But in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven, Grandmasters were everywhere, and Masters were as common as dogs. The Qiongqi warrior in front of him seemed to be just a ranger leader.
So-called rangers in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven performed jobs similar to mercenaries, a group that did things for money.
Legend has it that the Qiongqi Race is a descendant of the White Emperor Shaohao, one of the Five Emperors, making their lineage extremely prestigious.
But due to treachery and betrayal, and glorifying evil words, the Qiongqi were exiled by Emperor Shun, relocated to the four corners, to ward off demons.
Now, the Qiongqi Race still remains nomadic, ultimately evolving into a war-based tribe. Whenever wars break out between various Sealed Countries within the Kunlun Grotto Heaven, the presence of the Qiongqi can almost always be seen.
"Boss, how much is this saber?"
Qiong Jie stroked a golden saber longingly, his hand speed nearly rubbing the blade smooth.
Ye Qingzhou looked up and casually replied, "One thousand two hundred sword coins."
"Why is it so expensive? Boss, are you robbing people?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Qiong Jie bared his teeth upon hearing this. The price was clearly beyond his budget.
Sword coins, made from copper essence, have no fixed style, but under the regulation of the Master of Cave Heaven, Queen Mother of the West, they are generally of similar weight. Their value has been stable for thousands of years and is very precious, thus favored by powerhouses.
As for most of the lower-level populace, sword coins are something they yearn for but cannot reach. Ordinary transactions are usually conducted with lower-grade shell coins.
Or they carry a small pouch of white salt, for due to low productivity, the basic survival items of the lower populace are very scarce.
If not for the teleportation array limiting the exchange between the Grotto Heaven and Blue Star, the productivity of Blue Star could easily undermine the economic foundation of the Kunlun Grotto Heaven through dumping, then freely plunder the wealth within.
Of course, doing so would certainly provoke the Martial Saints and even the Martial Gods within the Grotto Heaven, and by then, it would be the humans of Blue Star’s turn to be plundered.
"Can you earn any money by robbing?"
In response to Qiong Jie’s protests, Ye Qingzhou showed disdain, "Buy it if you like."
"Is that how you do business?"
Qiong Jie murmured, but the golden saber in his hand was too endearing for him to put down.
The spine of the golden saber was crafted from profound iron, the blade mainly of divine gold, with a small amount of sharp gold added for reinforcement. Refined by the Six Ding Divine Flame, the materials were well integrated.
These weapons were Ye Qingzhou’s practice works. Since they couldn’t fetch a good price on Blue Star, he threw them into the Gilded Jade Gourd to gather dust.
But in Qiong Jie’s eyes, the golden saber in front of him was already in the treasure grade, and only a renowned craftsman could forge it. It was truly a priceless famous saber.
"A guest at the door, Boss, can you lower the price a bit?"
Qiong Jie tried the golden saber’s feel, more unwilling to put it down.
Ye Qingzhou shook his head, "Can’t lower it at all."
The golden saber was made from consumable materials. Ye Qingzhou only priced it three times the cost, where is the price high? It’s basically a big sale!
This is a famous saber handcrafted by him!
It’s only reasonable to charge a little more for labor, right?
Seeing Ye Qingzhou impervious to persuasion and unwilling to reduce the price, Qiong Jie had no choice but to put the saber down, because he simply didn’t have enough money.
His income wasn’t actually low, but the problem was that martial arts practice consumed a lot, and most of the money he earned went to buying cultivation resources. Right now he had just over six hundred sword coins, simply not enough.
Seeing that Qiong Jie truly couldn’t come up with the money, Ye Qingzhou proposed a suggestion: "Actually, it’s not that it can’t be cheaper."
"Really?"
Qiong Jie’s green eyes suddenly lit up, his fierce mouth almost reached his ears.
"Here’s the deal, you bring a customer to spend in my shop, and I’ll give you a ten percent commission. Bring ten, and the saber’s yours."
Hearing such a good deal, Qiong Jie was so excited his blood was boiling, fearing Ye Qingzhou might change his mind: "It’s a deal! I’ll go get people now!"
Watching Qiong Jie’s running figure, the corners of Ye Qingzhou’s mouth curved, "You might profit, but I never lose."
Money making ghosts work, truly a wise saying.
Ye Qingzhou couldn’t help but admire the simplicity of Kunlun Grotto Heaven’s people. On Blue Star, how much would it cost to hire a master-level martial artist as a salesman?
In just a moment, Qiong Jie dragged a few "good brothers" to the Divine Blade Pavilion for shopping, allowing Ye Qingzhou’s long-accumulated "junk" to be sold at a good price, and then he would procure some valuable rare treasures from them.
Double gain!
It’s like Emperor Qin Shi Huang touching an electric wire and winning big!
Through this, Ye Qingzhou realized that for Blue Star’s martial artists, it’s really not hard to make money in the Grotto Heaven.
It’s mainly because within the Kunlun Grotto Heaven, over these millennia, population grew continuously while productivity hardly improved, resulting in even master-level powerhouses living quite frugally.
