Qianshuifang City.
Now that it is early spring, Qianshuifang City is holding its monthly market fair.
Rogue cultivators or disciples from various sects from various nearby islands gathered together, either to buy their own needs or to exchange items.
The city is crowded with people.
Benefiting from the popularity of this rally, the Dockyard branch was also overcrowded.
The strange thing is that in the jeweled chamber of commerce, there is no shopkeeper, shopkeeper Duan.
At this time, in one of the elegant rooms of the branch, the aroma of tea overflowed.
Kong Jin sipped the tea in the cup, feeling the strong fragrance of tea spread in his mouth, and looked at the shopkeeper Duan who was sitting opposite him from time to time.
The latter was playing with the abacus, his fingers moving back and forth on the beads as fast as lightning.
Just when Kong Jin finished the cup of tea, shopkeeper Duan finished the calculation and reported a number to Kong Jin in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Master Kong, the total of your things is equivalent to 650,000 spiritual crystals. ”
"If you are satisfied, I will settle the account for you now."
What Shopkeeper Duan calculated was the value of the miscellaneous items in the storage bags of the Yutingmen monks that Kong Xian plundered.
The miscellaneous things are basically useless, so they are all sold to the sub-rudder of the Shipyard Chamber of Commerce.
Kong Jin’s price was actually about 600,000 spirit crystals. The shopkeeper obviously thought of his young boss Fu Shiyan’s face and gave Kong Jin an extra 50,000 yuan.
The price of 650,000 yuan exceeded Kong's expectations, so he had no reason to refuse, so he nodded with a smile and said, "I am very confident in the reputation of the Shipyard Chamber of Commerce. Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Duan."
"Where to say it." Shopkeeper Duan bowed his hand politely.
No one in the entire Qianshuifang City except their shipyard chamber of commerce can afford what Kong Zhen is selling this time.
It’s just that the price is too low, and it will offend the young man in front of me who has a good relationship with the young master’s family.
The quotation is too high, and the shipyard chamber of commerce will not make any profit.
Six hundred and fifty thousand is also the highest price that shopkeeper Duan can give.
Fortunately, Kong Zhen was also easy to talk to, which made Shopkeeper Duan breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, I was secretly happy about this business.
“Even if the price of this batch of things is 650,000, under the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, we can still make a profit of 100,000.”
But shopkeeper Duan was about to speak and ordered When the people below went to get the spiritual crystals, they were interrupted by Kong Jiang with a gesture.
"Shopkeeper Duan, don't panic yet." Kong Jiang smiled and took out a piece of rice paper he had prepared from his sleeve.
Densely written in small regular script on the rice paper.
If you look carefully, they are all names of elixirs.
"Shopkeeper Duan, please prepare the elixirs recorded above. The expenditure for the elixirs will be deducted from the spiritual crystals sold this time."
Recorded on the rice paper, It is the elixir needed for refining the 'Ask for Magical Power', 'Shedding Mortal Pill', 'Moon Holding Pearl' and the 'Restore Soul Pill'.
Except for the Moon Holding Pearl, the main medicine of the other three elixirs, Confucius, was exchanged from Lingxiao's treasure house.
You only need to prepare some ministerial drugs and auxiliary drugs to start refining.
There is no place in the entire Endless Sea that is more suitable to collect these elixirs than the Shipyard Merchant Guild.
Kong Xian didn’t want to go back to Wudong and slowly raise the money, so he simply bought it all at once.
Shopkeeper Duan took the rice paper with hundreds of elixirs recorded on it, and read it in ten lines at a time.
This is a combination of four elixirs. The elixirs in it were deliberately separated and arranged by Kong Xia. Even if Ge Xia was alive, he would not be able to find traces of the elixirs in it.
Of course Shopkeeper Duan couldn’t tell.
But he knew the value of every elixir inside.
In two breaths of time, he roughly calculated the prices of all the elixirs on the rice paper, and said: "Master Kong, buying all these things may cost 200,000 spiritual crystals."
"Okay, Prepare two copies for me." Kong Jiang waved his hand nonchalantly.
Four hundred thousand spirit crystals are nothing for these four cherished elixirs.
"Okay!" Shopkeeper Duan immediately became energetic after finishing a transaction, and another big business came to his door.
However, he still cautiously informed Kong Zhi: "Master Kong, there are too many types of elixirs. This branch can only raise most of them, and the remaining part may have to be transferred from the nearby branch. Take it."
"You may have to wait a while."
"How long will it take?" Kong Xian is not in a hurry.
Shopkeeper Duan silently calculated the distance to the nearest helm and said: "Half a day!"
"Okay, let me wait here in Qianshuifang City for half a day."
Shopkeeper Duan excused himself politely, and without stopping, he called the guards of the sub-rudder and headed towards the nearest sub-rudder.
The transaction amount involved this time is not trivial, so naturally Shopkeeper Duan has to take action personally to show his importance.
Kong Jin did not stay in the elegant room, after all, there was still half a day left.
"Just right, there are things that need to be dealt with."
So he slowly walked out of the Dockyard Chamber of Commerce's helm, crossed the street, and went to the restaurant across the street from the Dockyard Chamber of Commerce.
The third floor of the restaurant, near the window.
Ting Yanke, who was dressed in red, and Ningshuang, who looked like a girl, was facing the dishes on the table. She did not have the majestic image of a powerful person born in a palm.
Whether it is Ningshuang or Ting Yanke, they have no resistance to human dishes.
Especially for Ting Yanke, who drinks blood from raw materials, these dishes are all delicacies.
Only Guan Shihua, an old man with white hair, looked in a daze and did not move his chopsticks.
I guess I was worried about what Kong Jiang said before by the Chongshui River.
Although Kong Jiang has already figured out all the details, a plan is a plan after all, and Guan Shihua is afraid that something will go wrong and his life will be in danger.
Just such a strange combination of three did not attract the attention of the restaurant diners coming and going.
Because both Ting Yanke and Ningshuang hide their cultivation and aura, except for the powerful masters of palm, they can't see through their disguise at all.
When Kong Ji arrived, everyone except Guan Shihua responded with a stiff smile.
Tingyan Keke Ningshuang didn’t even raise her head, focusing on the dishes in front of her.
Kong Jin didn’t feel sad, so he waved to the waiter and added another table to them.
“Eat it, it’s just a small amount of money.” Kong Ji, who had just harvested a large amount of spiritual crystals, was very wealthy.
Kong Jiang, like Guan Shihua, did not touch the dishes on the table.
A pair of eyes looked towards the door of the restaurant from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.
Soon a graceful figure wearing a white Coral Palace sect costume appeared in Kong Xian's field of vision.
She walked into the market and headed straight for the restaurant.
Looking at her face, she is elegant and beautiful, with an iconic beauty mark on the corner of her mouth.
It is the Coral Palace Tide Fairy, Huang Yueqin.
It was her who Kong Jiang wanted to wait for.
Before going to the Shipyard Chamber of Commerce, he asked shopkeeper Duan to go to the Coral Palace to ask the Tide Fairy to come.
The Dockyard Chamber of Commerce has a close relationship with the Coral Palace, so this can be said easily.
The reason for calling the Tide Fairy is also very simple.
First, after he collects the elixirs needed to refine the four elixirs, he will leave the Endless Sea.
As the head disciple, I must inform the owner of the Coral Palace out of emotion and reason.
Huang Yueqin is the first contemporary person in the Coral Palace and is of the same generation as herself, so it is most appropriate to talk to her.
Secondly, when he came to the Shipyard Chamber of Commerce, he heard shopkeeper Duan chatting about the Coral Palace escorting back the remnants of the Yuting Sect and the Tianxiang Sect.
Just in time, I took this opportunity to entrust Guan Shihua to the Coral Palace to ensure his safety. Kong Ji did not hide his breath.
When he saw Huang Yueqin, the latter naturally noticed his gaze.
The two looked at each other in the air, and then nodded without any trace.
"You guys eat slowly." Kong Jiang said to Ting Yanke and Ningshuang, then stood up and headed towards the VIP room that had been prepared in the restaurant.
Huang Yueqin then entered the room.
The moment she stepped into the room.
Kong Ji activated the Palm Formation captured from Yutingmen.
The large formation barrier just protects the space of this room and will not let anyone listen to this conversation.
Huang Yueqin glanced at the formation covering all directions. With her eyesight, she could not tell that this was a palm-level formation.
Immediately facing Kong Geng who was already sitting in the room, he joked: "Master Kong, if I didn't know who you are, I would be shocked by your attitude."
"The walls have ears, it's me who was rude." Kong Ji smiled and cupped his hands, then pointed to the seat in front of him and politely asked Fairy Tide to take a seat.
"Mr. Kong, I learned from Uncle Congmei about your actions in the Endless Sea."
After Huang Yueqin took her seat, she quickly suppressed the smile on her face and said with a solemn expression: "The little girl represents the Endless Sea. Thank you for your generous action.”
“The monks from the Xianyun Realm will definitely not stand by and watch.” Kong Zhi said this sincerely. .
Hearing this, Huang Yueqin shook her head repeatedly.
Kong Jin’s actions in the ancient city of Chaodi, coupled with his actions in the Endless Sea, leave no one with the slightest fault.
In Huang Yueqin's eyes, Kong Jiang is exactly the kind of person who behaves in a right and upright manner.
Of course, there is the most critical point.
He is a close friend of Shangguan Yuzhou, so she has absolute trust in Kong Jiang.
"Master Kong is so cautious, there must be something important, right?" Huang Yueqin didn't waste any time and went straight to the topic.
This is exactly what Kong Zhen wanted. He immediately started chatting, first asking about the gains from the Coral Palace's siege of Tianxiang Gate this time.
When Huang Yueqin said that he had only captured half of the Tianxiangmen monks, he frowned slightly.
Guan Shihua's plan cannot tolerate any mistakes.
"If one person from Tianxiang Gate escapes, Guan Shihua's plan to bring Xihuang Paradise back to Yuting Gate will be ruined."
Tide Fairy is smart and can see Kong Ji's slight expression. , thinking that he was worried that the remaining people in Tianxiang Sect would cause trouble, and said to himself: "Young master Kong is indeed worried about the temper of the people."
She has nothing to hide about Kong Xian.
Then he told a plan that was only allowed to be circulated among the top brass of the Coral Palace.
“Although the Tianxiang Sect is cunning, our two masters of the Coral Palace are not vegetarians.”
“The two old men specially asked me to send out a powerful spiritual weapon this time. "
"It's called Biyouzhan, and it can be activated by two masters. As long as it swallows the spiritual power of the monks of Tianxiang Sect, it can reach heaven and earth. You can't escape the search of our Coral Palace."
This is undoubtedly great news. Kong Zhi's eyes suddenly brightened, and he repeatedly praised the profound heritage of the Coral Palace: "The noble sect actually has such an important weapon. , what a blessing in the endless sea.”
"Young Master Kong, you're honored." Huang Yueqin smiled softly and explained the secret of the Biyou Zhan: "It's just that the activation of the Biyou Zhan consumes a lot of soul power, so only the souls of the two masters are connected to exert its power."
“And it can only last for one stick of incense, so time may be delayed.”
“It doesn’t matter, as long as the Tianxiang Sect is still in the Endless Sea, they will definitely find it.” Kong Xian was completely at ease with the two palm students in the Coral Palace.
I feel much happier.
Then Kong Xian talked about the existence of Guan Shihua and hoped that the Coral Palace could save his life.
The Tide Fairy was very puzzled by Kong Jiang's approach of asking the Coral Palace to save Guan Shihua's life.
Kong Ji didn't dare to tell the truth, he just said that Guan Shihua's life was related to the Cangwu Sect's next plan.
The Tide Fairy nodded solemnly.
She did not ask what the plan Kong Jiang mentioned was, but gave her assurance: "Don't worry, Mr. Kong, as long as it is something you tell me, both masters will nod."
"Don't worry, Guan Shihua can leave it to me in the Coral Palace."
"That's it, thank you." Kong Xi stood up and bowed with a serious expression.
"You're welcome, Mr. Kong. The two masters once said that the Coral Palace will always be a staunch ally of the Cangwu Sect." Fairy Tide also returned the gift.
It was at this time that Kong Jiang realized the importance of reputation.
The reason why things went so smoothly was entirely because I had gained a lot of favorability in the Endless Sea.
The Tide Fairy had absolute trust in herself, so she didn’t ask any more questions.
Guan Shihua’s matter has been explained, and Kong Jiang has no worries.
Talk to the Tide Fairy again.
He said that he would leave the life of a man named Ming Shirong on the Yutingmen side to contain Guan Shihua.
After all, everyone is really going to be killed.
There are no witnesses for Guan Shihua's rebellion.
When the time comes, not only will he be freed from Kong Xian's control, but he will also be able to prosper in Yutingmen with the help of Xihuang Paradise.
Kong Geng considers all aspects of these things extremely carefully.
The Tide Fairy all agreed.
Finally it’s over.
Tide Fairy came forward and took away Guan Shihua, who was sitting opposite Ting Yanke and Ningshuang in the restaurant.
"Master Kong, please go slowly, I won't send him off." Fairy Tide hurriedly sent Guan Shihua to the Coral Palace for protection, and said goodbye to Mr. Kong at the door of the restaurant.
Not long after the Tide Fairy led Guan Shihua out of Fangshi and left through the sky.
Shopkeeper Duan also returned to Qianshuifang City with his guards.
Kong Jin entered the shipyard chamber of commerce with ease and made the final handover with shopkeeper Duan.
In the elegant room, before shopkeeper Duan could wipe the sweat off his face, he handed a storage bag full of various elixirs to Kong Ji's hand.
After Kong Jiang finished counting and confirmed that it was correct, he smiled at shopkeeper Duan: "The goods are all here. Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper Duan."
"It's not hard, haha. Doing business with Mr. Kong is a pleasure. If you have any business in the future, please come to me." Shopkeeper Duan smiled sincerely.
In the purchase and sale of hundreds of thousands of spiritual crystals, Kong Jiang bought them as soon as he was told, without even frowning. Shopkeeper Duan liked them very much.
Even if he didn't have Fu Shiyan's relationship, he would definitely coax the God of Wealth well.
Then, Shopkeeper Duan took out another storage bag, which contained the remaining 250,000 spiritual crystals after this transaction.
In this way, all Kong Ji’s things have been dealt with, and there are still 250,000 spiritual crystals left.
In addition to the 900,000 spiritual crystals contributed by Yutingmen, and the 50,000 spiritual crystals originally left in his pocket.
The net worth instantly exceeded one million, with a total of 1.2 million spiritual crystals.
Kong Ji patted his increasingly bulging waist bag and was in a good mood.
After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Duan, he called out Ningshuang and Ting Yanke, who were still feasting in the restaurant, and soared into the sky from Qianshuifang City.
"It's time to go back to Wudong." Looking back at the Endless Sea Islands disappearing on the horizon, Kong Jin whispered to himself.
This trip to the Endless Sea was full of rewards.
I also got Futian Yin Lei as I wished, and it was time to return to Wudong to prepare for breakthroughs related to Zhang Sheng.
Ningshuang and Ting Yanke were followed on his left and right sides respectively.
Two palm-born powerful men, and his strength is comparable to that of a palm-born man.
Breaking through the Thunder Sea bordering Wudong and the Endless Sea can be said to be effortless. (End of this chapter)
