Chapter 315: Chapter 310: Talking Business_l
Translator: 549690339
Yang Chen pondered, although Linghe Sect was famous for its abundant Spirit Stones and being a business-oriented sect, he didn’t believe that everyone within the sect was as wealthy as Elder Qin.
He didn’t know who Elder Qin was, but he knew that Elder Qin’s position in Linghe Sect must be quite high.
At least, Elder Qin’s authority within the sect shouldn’t be underestimated.
This was also the reason for him to establish a good relationship with Elder Qin. After all, if he urgently needed Spirit Stones in the future for alchemy, he would need a channel to acquire them.
And perhaps Elder Qin was one of those channels.
Although the matter was still far away, it was always better to have connections than not.
As these thoughts crossed Yang Chen’s mind, the Sect Elders beside him were envious of Elder Qin, and simultaneously started to respect Yang Chen. Just by the fact that Yang Chen didn’t hesitate to spend 2,000 Spirit Stones showed that he was not a petty person.
This also made the Sect Elders secretly look forward to Yang Chen’s next offering.
“Next up is this Cloud Sea Pill. I believe I don’t need to explain its effects in detail.” Yang Chen said with a gentle smile.
In fact, many Sect Elders present were not here for the Essence Pills or the Qingming Zhenyuan Pills, but for the Cloud Sea Pills.
Although the Qingming Zhenyuan Pills were good, not every Elder had children or disciples. If they didn’t have children or disciples, as Origin Martial Realm cultivators themselves, they would leave the Qingming Zhenyuan Pills without purpose. Conversely, the Cloud Sea Pills would be infinitely beneficial for them. Consuming one pill could reduce the cultivation of an Origin Martial Realm by five years, which was something many cultivators dream of.
Five years of hard cultivation, the word “hard” representing that a single pill could save them from sitting and cultivating for five years!
“Yang Chen, my friend, everyone here is well-informed. We all understand the effects of the Cloud Sea Pill. This old man bids 10,000 Spirit Stones!”
“This old man bids 13,000 Spirit Stones!”
“Elder Ben bids 18,000!”
“25,000!”
The price skyrocketed to 25,000 in an instant.
This surprised Yang Chen a bit.
After all, although the Cloud Sea Pill had a higher grade than the Essence Pill, the Essence Pill was more abundant in quantity. Logically speaking, the difference in price between the two shouldn’t have been so drastic. However, the price had gone up to 25,000, and people were still arguing about it, not willing to give it up, it showed that the Cloud Sea Pill’s allure to them was far from over.
After some thought, Yang Chen understood their perspective.
Most of these Elders were at the Origin Martial Realm, and the Cloud Sea Pill was too important for them. No one didn’t want it.
“30,000 points, this price is high enough. Is anyone still going to bid?”
“What do you mean high? With 30,000 Spirit Stones, you can’t even buy a single grain of Cloud Sea Pill from Huangshan Sect! Do you think your 30,000 Spirit Stones are a lot? This old man bids 33,000!”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but be curious about the pricing of the Huangshan Sect’s Cloud Sea Pills. However, seeing these Sect Elders so desperate to not miss this opportunity, it was clear that the Huangshan Sect’s ruthlessness in alchemy pricing had reached a hair-raising level. Otherwise, no one would care so much about this simple Cloud Sea Pill.
“34,000!” “37,000!”
“40,000!”
When the price reached 40,000, it finally settled.
In an instant, the scene fell silent. Some Origin Martial Realm Elders wanted to fight for it again, but considering the price was a bit too high, they eventually sighed and didn’t push their limits any further.
The Elder who called out the price of 40,000 excitedly said, “Yang Chen, my friend…”
“This pill, of course, is for senior.” Yang Chen handed over the Cloud Sea Pill and accepted the 40,000 Spirit Stones.
Seeing the sale of the Cloud Sea Pill concluded, many disheartened Origin Martial Realm Elders left, but a majority remained, obviously unwilling to give up on the Qingming Zhenyuan Pill.
Yang Chen also knew this and held the Qingming Zhenyuan Pill in his hand.
Before he could say anything, Linghe Sect’s Elder Qin quickly said, “I bid 30,000 Spirit Stones for this Qingming Zhenyuan Pill!”
Immediately, Elder Qin sneaked a glance at Yang Chen, who saw all of it clearly. Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile inwardly. Where would he not know that Elder Qin was helping him? The starting point of 30,000 made the price go up by a lot, and with the others raising it further, it would be difficult to go lower.
Those Sect Elders cursed Elder Qin one after another, and Elder Qin merely grinned before turning around and leaving, seemingly uninterested in the Qingming Zhenyuan Pill.
Indeed, his 30,000 Spirit Stones were indeed meant to help Yang Chen raise the price. “This old man bids 42,000.”
“47,000!”
“50,000!”
“55,000!”
In the end, the Qingming Zhenyuan Pill was sold for 55,000 Spirit Stones.
At this rate, Yang Chen earned more than 100,000 Spirit Stones in one go, which gave him a sense of becoming wealthy overnight.
However, Yang Chen was an experienced person, and he didn’t care much for the 100,000 Spirit Stones. After selling the pills, he escorted each Sect Elder out. It took great effort before all the Sect Elders left.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Yang Chen stood still for about two or three breaths before saying, “Elder Qin, please come out!”
As Yang Chen’s words fell, Elder Qin emerged from a corner of the courtyard with a friendly smile on his face, “How did you know I hadn’t left yet, my young friend? Your Divine Soul Power shouldn’t be able to detect me.” Elder Qin’s face was full of doubt.
“It was a guess.” Yang Chen replied indifferently, but slowly.
Indeed, his Divine Soul Detection couldn’t sense Elder Qin, however, Rainbow could!
Of course, he was somewhat suspicious about Elder Qin not leaving. Earlier, when Elder Qin heard of the Qingming Zhenyuan Pill, he left too hastily as if he had no interest in it. Yang Chen didn’t believe that Elder Qin, a Linghe Sect businessman, would have absolutely no plans for the pill.
However, he didn’t feel any resentment towards Elder Qin as he didn’t have any malicious intent towards him. Qin just didn’t want others to know the details of his hiding.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen saluted, “What does Elder Qin mean by this?”
Hehe, this old man is Qin Yang. Whether you call me Elder Qin or Qin Yang, I don’t mind either. Speaking of which, I hid here without leaving because I was a bit reckless. However, it was all for discussing a business deal with you, my young friend.” Elder Qin said.
Hearing Qin Yang’s words, Yang Chen laughed, “Elder Qin, you know I have sold all my pills, what can I do for business now?”
Qin Yang wasn’t surprised by Yang Chen’s response. He stroked his small beard, chuckled, and said, “My young friend Yang Chen, even if you have nothing now, I will still do business with you. That’s because we’re doing business for the future, not the present. I am a businessman, my eyes look to the future. Since you’re an alchemist, if I have to wait for you to have pills before I can deal with you, then I would have starved to death as a businessman..”
