Chapter 95: The Blood-Dripping Treasure Box, Grinding the Bone-Polishing Stone
"These boxes are all filled with medicinal pellets, from first-class to fifth-class, from wound-healing pellets to soul-calming pellets, they're all here!" Lin the shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said: "Chu young brother, do you need any? Take whatever you want, we'll... settle the bill later."
"Yeah, big brother is really fast."
Chu Cheng nodded, took out the Resurrection Tree, and placed it on the table. He then grabbed a handful of medicinal pills, without checking what they were, and crushed them with force. The round medicinal pills rolled into the flower pot and quickly disappeared at a visible speed, turning into nutrients that were absorbed by the Resurrection Tree.
Right after that, the Resurrection Tree began to grow rapidly.
Chu City swiftly pinched and shattered one bottle after another, while the Resurrection Tree began to grow taller by the section. Amidst Wei Lao and Lin Zhanggui's stunned gazes, the Resurrection Tree had already grown to a height of one zhang (about 3.33 meters), roughly thicker than an adult's wrist.
"This, this......" Wei Lao Zhang's mouth was agape, unable to speak, his hand pointing at the Return Soul Tree with a look of being lost and dispirited.
"If you want to buy the Resurrection Tree, then take out 500 million gold coins. If you want to buy the flower pot and the soil inside together, then take out 5 billion gold coins, non-negotiable." Chu Cheng said calmly.
The Soul Tree and Soil of Rest are a matching set, which is truly valuable.
"Five... five billion! Chu, my brother, you're really opening your mouth wide this time! Five billion gold coins, that's how much? One hundred gold coins weigh one jin, and five billion gold coins would be 50 million jin, which is 2.5 million tons! Brother, you're being too excessive!" Lin the shopkeeper took a deep breath and began to haggle over the price.
"Two hundred and fifty-six thousand tons? It seems that it's still not enough for a single piece of First-Rate Golden Brick?" Chu Cheng secretly calculated in his heart, why not get a First-Rate Golden Brick to play with?
However, it seems that the Super Synthesis Book currently only provides synthesis formulas for 1st-grade and 2nd-grade Solid Gold Bricks, and none of the others can be synthesized... According to the nature of the Super Synthesis Book, unless one's cultivation is improved, it's impossible to synthesize a 7th-grade Solid Gold Brick!
Well then, since a large amount of gold coins are useless, why not exchange them for something else at a discount?
Chu Cheng's eyes rolled, and he chuckled: "Lin Zhanggui, I won't make things difficult for you either... bring me the price list of your Wu Liang Treasure Pavilion, and I'll exchange it for 50 billion gold coins' worth of stuff to play with?"
As soon as Lin heard Chu Cheng's words, he let out a sigh of relief.
Although it looks like I spent 5 billion gold coins to buy a Resurrection Tree and a flower pot for Chucheng, but the account isn't calculated this way!
To know, the things in Wú Liáng Bǎo Gé are partly low-priced purchases, partly consigned by cooperative partners, and partly self-produced and sold. In any case, the cost is not enough to cover half of the selling price...
So, in this case, the Infinite Treasure Pavilion actually spent 2.5 billion gold coins to buy this Resurrection Tree and flower pot, which isn't a bad deal?
As Old Wei said, this Return Soul Tree is indeed a money tree! In the end, how much money can't be earned back?
"Alright! However, Chu younger brother, I won't be able to give you a discount again, or else I'll have trouble explaining it to the boss!" Lin Zhuang said with a mouthful of agreement, and then added with a sly smile.
"It's nothing." Chu Cheng said lightly.
He never thought of taking over the Wú Liáng Bǎo Gé.
As one of the largest merchant alliances in the original continent, Wu Liang Bao Ge's power is many times greater than that of the entire Chu State. Therefore, having a good relationship with Wu Liang Bao Ge will only bring benefits and no harm!
Wei Lao circled around the Return Soul Tree repeatedly, and if it weren't for Chu Cheng not having sold the Return Soul Tree yet, he would have taken it away long ago.
Chu Cheng closed his eyes to meditate, and after half an incense stick had burned, he slowly opened them again. Lin Zhanggui had already returned.
"Brother, I've used my highest authority to bring the most complete price list from the warehouse! This includes all the treasures accumulated by the warehouse, hehe, brother can take a look at your leisure!" Lin Zhanggui's face was filled with excitement.
Although he is one of the department heads, in a strict sense, he is also an employee. For the transactions made from his hands, he can also get a commission of 30% of the pure profit.
He's not in Chu City, this 30% pure profit is actually not a small amount... How can he not be happy?
Chu City took over the price list and looked at it seriously.
It's called a price list, but it's actually a strange square box.
The box was opened, and inside were hundreds of names, each representing a different category.
First-class medicinal herbs, second-class medicinal herbs, third-class medicinal herbs, fourth-class medicinal herbs, fifth-class medicinal herbs...
Low-grade Seven Treasure Artifact, Mid-grade Seven Treasure Artifact, High-grade Seven Treasure Artifact, Top-grade Seven Treasure Artifact...
First-grade Dan medicine, second-grade Dan medicine, third-grade Dan medicine, fourth-grade Dan medicine, fifth-grade Dan medicine...
……
Clicking on "Five Treasures of Chinese Medicine" column, the screen immediately changed, and the names of five treasures of Chinese medicine appeared in front of me.
"This is the treasure catalog, which lists 327,651 kinds of goods in the partitioned cabinet. Each item has a detailed introduction. Brother Chu, you can take a closer look and choose what you want most." said Lin Zhanggui.
Chu Cheng nodded slightly.
Wú Liàng Bǎo Gé is indeed a giant commercial alliance, with over 300,000 types of goods in the Huǒ Chéng branch alone, including nine-grade elixirs and divine artifacts.
"Huh? No spiritual elixirs or spiritual artifacts?" Chu Cheng suddenly said.
Lin Zhanggu smiled bitterly: "Chu younger brother, the Spirit Dan and Spirit Instrument are for strong practitioners of the Divine Realm, not something we can touch. To be honest, I don't have the clearance to access the records of the Spirit Dan and Spirit Instrument."
"Oh? So that's how it is." Chu Cheng felt a slight disappointment in his heart.
Carefully looking at that record, Chu Cheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and found that on the first page at the very bottom, there was actually a column called "Strange Objects".
"What is this 'strange thing' referring to?"
Chu City opened the "Qí Wù" column, with only a few dozen names listed on the page, compared to other pages that had hundreds or thousands of them, it was simply pitifully small.
"What a treasure trove! Those are truly exceptional items, beyond ordinary grades, each with its own unique uses. Of course, their value is also extraordinary. Young master, if you want these things... even 5 billion gold coins might not be enough to buy a few." Lin the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"What a strange thing? My Return Soul Tree should also be considered a strange thing?" Chu Cheng shook his head and smiled, taking a closer look.
The first one is a purple and white gourd named Zhanxian Feidao.
"Xian Flying Knife, ancient mysterious object, a powerful artifact from the ancient Ghost Country era. Lu Daojun refined it. When this treasure is released, a white light beam about 7.5 inches long appears in the air, with five-colored rays shining on it. It has the shape of a sharp blade, with wings and eyes. Two beams of white light can be shot out to fix the changing body shape."
However, this treasure was damaged in the ancient ghost country turmoil, and its remaining power is less than one ten-thousandth. Nevertheless, it can still randomly kill strong practitioners of the Mountain Sea Realm, and even behead the souls of strong practitioners of the Divine Spirit Realm.
"This treasure is worth: one trillion gold coins, and can be obtained by chance, those without chance cannot obtain it."
Beheading Immortal Flying Knife... what a domineering name!
Chu Cheng sighed.
I'm also considered a big shot, but in front of real rich people, I'm just a beggar, can't even afford to buy a rare item, not even enough for the change.
Looking down further, there were many precious and rare items, all of which were extremely valuable. The prices were staggering, with some reaching hundreds of billions of gold coins. The 5 billion limit on Chu City's account seemed like it couldn't buy much of anything.
Of course, not all rare items are extremely valuable, some are relatively cheap, but even the cheapest ones cost at least 1 billion gold coins and they don't come with a discount!
Suddenly, Chu Cheng's eyes widened in surprise as he saw two very strange objects.
"Droplet of Blood Treasure Box, Tempering Bone Stone Mill, two of the Five Realms' Wonders. Originally a top-grade wonder, unfortunately, the three most precious items have been lost, leaving only these two behind, which is truly regrettable. These Five Realms' Wonders are said to be crafted by an ancient mysterious powerhouse, possessing extraordinary uses and hiding a huge secret."
"Dripping Blood Box, refining pure blood; Tempering Bone Stone Mill, extracting bone powder. These two rare items are priced at 4.9 billion gold coins."
Blood Drop Treasure Box? Tempering Bone Stone Mill?
"What a strange name." Chu Cheng muttered to himself.
"Ah, Brother Chu has taken a liking to these two items? Hehe, brother's eyes are indeed good, these two things are really good stuff, with all sorts of wonderful uses." said Lin the shopkeeper.
"What's so special about it? One refines blood and the other tempers bones. What's so special about that?" Chu Cheng shook his head.
"Little brother, you mustn't underestimate these two things. I'm telling you, if you don't buy them, you'll definitely regret it!" Lin said in a low voice.
"Regret?" Chu Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Let that old guy say it himself?"
Lin Zhangguan smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Don't say that, don't say that. Each of the 'rare items' in Wuliang Treasure Pavilion has a legendary story hidden behind it. The functions of these two things are also marked out, as for whether you want to buy them or not, that's your business."
"Huh?" Chu Cheng sneered coldly: "No need to play dumb, pretending to be mysterious? I'm taking these two things!"
"Brother, you're indeed generous!" Lin Zhuang praised and took out two things, handing them to Chu Cheng: "Brother, this Blood Jade Box and Bone Grinding Stone are yours!"
The Blood Drop Treasure Box is a seemingly ordinary wooden box, about the size of a palm, with carvings of various animals on it, including wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, turtles, and... humans.
Tempering bone stone mill, is also an ordinary box, but it's made of stone, on which are carved various animals, including wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, turtles, and... humans.
"Alright, the transaction is complete. Younger brother, you still have 100 million gold coins left, what are you planning to buy? Lin Zhangguan smiled and said: "Or, should we buy some fierce beasts like last time?"
Is it a ferocious beast?
Chu Cheng glanced at the Blood Jade Box and the Bone Grinding Stone, nodded and said: "Let that old brother handle it. One billion gold coins, all exchanged for fierce beasts... no limit on type, no limit on level."
"Good!" Lin Zhanggui's face showed a satisfied smile.
"By the way, those elixirs I consumed earlier shouldn't be counted as my expense, should they?" Chu Cheng suddenly said.
"Ah... of course not." Lin Zhang wiped away a cold sweat, this joke wasn't funny at all.
