Chapter 83
Sun Tongling just watched him perform magic tricks, taking out many wooden boxes of different sizes from his storage bag and stacking them three feet high. He didn't come back to his senses for a while.
He has been working here for more than ten years and has never seen or heard of someone selling so many elixirs, as if these dragon fruits were wild fruits picked by the roadside. Isn't this a fool? Isn't it true, with such financial resources?
Why would people use it and sell it at such a low price? The price of the elixir after refining it would immediately increase several times.
It was definitely not stolen by the sect. There were so many dragon fruits, fluorescent flowers, and fish dragon grass that it was difficult for even the sect to take them out at once, and if caught, they would be beheaded. There were indeed people within the sect who secretly sold the elixir.
, but they are all kinds of elixirs, and the number of each type is not too much.
But if it wasn't for the sect, how could there be any place in Xingang where he could take out so many elixirs at once? Sun Tongling looked at him suspiciously, his figure covered by his large cloak and bamboo hat.
"I don't know who your friend is? Could you please reveal your name?"
"Does the Qingyang Sect still have this rule? If you are willing to buy it, please settle the price. If you are not willing to buy it, just find another shop." Tang Ning said, pretending to put away the wooden box.
"Hey, fellow Taoist, I misunderstood." Sun Tongling quickly stopped him and said, "Sun is just curious for a moment. Business is business. I will settle the price with you right now."
Sun Tongling opened a wooden box, held the red and crystal dragon fruit in his hands and looked at it carefully for a while: "Yes, it is a fully mature dragon fruit." After saying that, he put the dragon fruit back into the wooden box and opened the next wooden box.
Take out the fruit and examine it.
"Shopkeeper Sun, a customer bought a Xuanguang Shield. I need you to take a look and record it in person." Not long after, a woman knocked on the door outside and said.
"I'm dealing with customers now, you can handle the records yourself." Sun Tongling said.
After about half an hour, Sun Tongling took a look at all the wooden boxes of herbs: "We have inspected them. There are a total of 180 dragon fruits, 50 fluorescent flowers, and 50 ichthyosaurs. They are all in the mature stage. There are no
Question, fellow Taoist, please wait again, I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
"Where are you going, Fellow Daoist Sun?" Tang Ning asked immediately
"Sun is just the manager here, and the shopkeeper is Master Zhang of our sect. For such a large sum, I need to ask Master Zhang to come and take a look. He practices cultivation at the Baoxing Inn in this city. Please wait patiently for a while.
"Sun Tongling said
Baoxing Inn, as you can tell from the name, is opened by the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. It is the only inn in the entire city. Tang Ning had seen it in Huangfenggufang City, and heard that it costs twenty spiritual stones to stay in this inn for one day.
In less than a moment of burning incense, Sun Tongling came with an old man with white beard and hair.
"Uncle, this Taoist friend sells medicinal herbs." Sun Tongling stood next to the old man and said respectfully.
Seeing a foundation-building monk coming, Tang Ning couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"I heard from my nephew that I have a large amount of foundation-building elixirs for sale?" the old man asked.
"Yes, it's all here. Fellow Taoist Master Sun has just verified it. I wonder if you can give me the settlement price."
"Of course." The old man waved his hand, and hundreds of wooden boxes were all opened at once. This is the signature method of the foundation-building monks. The spiritual power is released, and by this method the foundation-building monks can fly in the air.
The old man stepped forward, took out a few elixirs from the wooden boxes, took a look at them, and closed all the wooden boxes with a wave of his hand.
"I wonder if I can tell you where you got these elixirs from?"
When Tangning heard this, he immediately became nervous. After all, the other party was a foundation-building monk. If he used force, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Is it possible that the Qingyang Sect shop needs to inquire about the source of the medicinal herbs it buys? Senior if
If you want it, then settle the spiritual stone with me. If you don't want it, I'll leave immediately."
"We are doing business, and what matters in doing business is to be upright and aboveboard. Inquiring about the source is also for the sake of legal business. Taoist fellow Taoist can only practice Qi cultivation and wrap the whole body tightly. Not to mention his suspicious identity, he has so many foundation-building pills.
It is an unreasonable thing in itself. If it is stolen, what will we do if others find us?"
Tang Ning clearly knew that the other party was relying on his cultivation to make strong arguments, but now he was a slave to me, so he could only say: "How can I steal the elixir from a humble person? Senior, please feel free, but I accidentally entered a cave, and a senior passed away."
Here, these are the things that were planted heavily in the back courtyard of his cave. They are all here, and they are definitely not stolen items."
"Oh? Then..." The old man wanted to ask more questions, but Tang Ning interrupted: "Senior is not doing business, but seems to be interrogating prisoners. Since senior is worried, I just don't sell these things." After saying that, he went up.
Put away the wooden box before putting it away.
"Hey, little friend, why should you be angry? Since I have made it clear that it is not a theft." The old man said: "Master Nephew Sun, please pay this little friend."
"Yes. Fellow Taoist, the medicinal herbs here are worth a total of 24,400 spiritual stones. Please wait a moment. I will get the spiritual stones for you," Sun Tongling said.
"No need, just replace them all with Wan Ling Dan."
"All of them?"
"Yes." Tangning nodded.
"Okay, please wait." Sun Tongling walked out and came back with a storage bag.
"The unit price of the Vitality Pill in our shop is twelve spirit stones, and the whole bottle is sold for 330 spirit stones. There are a total of seventy-four bottles of Vitality Pill. Please count them."
Tang Ning took the storage bag, took out a few bottles, and counted them. Each bottle contains thirty vitality pills.
Sun Tongling took out a golden account book: "Don't you know the name of your friend?"
"Tang Ru."
"Okay, Fellow Taoist Tang, please give me your number plate and sign and pledge it here."
Tangning gave him the number plate and put his fingerprint on the account book.
Sun Tongling took out a dark black disk, placed the number plate on it, fiddled with it a few times, and handed it back to him.
"I'll take my leave." Tang Ning took the number plate and left the Qingyang Sect Chamber of Commerce and went to the management office.
There were only a few people in the hall at this moment. The staff of the management department put the number plate on the black disc: "Fellow Taoist Tang, you sold 24,400 spirit stones at the Qingyang Sect store in our city, and bought two more.
Forty-four thousand items, that’s right!”
"yes."
"Take this document and go to the security office to leave the city."
"What on earth are those number plates and black disks of yours?" Tang Ning couldn't help but ask. Last time in Yellow Maple Valley, she saw the Chamber of Commerce staff playing with these things. It seemed quite novel. She just clicked a few of them in the city.
All transactions are clearly visible.
The man explained: "This is a stone name recording plate and a disc name reading plate. Taoist friends' transactions in the market are input into the record plate by the shop, and then read by us, the transaction information can be permanently saved. As long as
The transaction records of fellow Taoists can be found in the merchant alliance. On the other hand, it also facilitates our management of the shops in the city, because the chamber of commerce needs to collect the profits of the shops in proportion."
Record cards and reading disks are common to all chambers of commerce in the world, which sounds very advanced.
"I would like to ask, I wonder what percentage of the store's profits your business will take."
"Take three out of one hundred. No matter what the store's selling price is, we only take this ratio."
Tang Ning was dumbfounded. Three out of one hundred was too bad! No wonder the items in the shops here were so expensive, and all the profits were taken away by these grandsons.
"We are the only formal and legal market in the world. We will definitely ensure fair and just transactions and the safety of life and property of customers in the market, so the profit ratio we charge is very reasonable." The man said with a smile.
"Formal is formal, what does legal mean? Is there anything illegal?" Tang Ning asked doubtfully. There are many laws in the secular dynasty, but the practice world has never heard of the question of whether they are legal or illegal.
"Only chambers of commerce that have joined the Trade Alliance can create markets, and they are protected by the Trade Alliance. Any force that has not joined the Trade Alliance privately establishes a market in the area, which is illegal. The Trade Alliance will eliminate such forces in accordance with the law."
To put it bluntly, we still rely on big newspaper groups to monopolize the market.
"You said that the Chamber of Commerce can guarantee the safety of customers' lives and property, right? If someone covets my belongings and keeps following me, can your Chamber of Commerce handle it?"
"If you suspect that someone is following you, tell us and we can immediately detain him forcibly until you leave Fangshi. After all, he has not done anything, so we cannot handle it privately. If he does something in Fangshi, Fangshi's escort team will be there
Rush to the scene and kill him immediately."
Tang Ning nodded with satisfaction. It was pretty much the same. Although it was a little darker, at least the attitude was good.
After leaving the management office, she walked around the Huizi Square several times to make sure no one was following her. Tangning handed in the paperwork at the security office, quickly walked out of the Fang City Formation Restriction, and immediately escaped into the ground, running for dozens of miles.
Only then did he emerge from the ground and fly away with his flying sword.
It wasn't that he was suspicious, but that the foundation-building monk from Qingyang Sect obviously had bad intentions, so he had to act cautiously.
After flying for more than a hundred miles, Tang Ning stopped at a mountain stream, threw away his black cloak and bamboo hat, and jumped into the stream naked to wash himself. He knew that there were some secret tracking methods, such as tracking people on their clothes.
Or maybe a strange medicine was sprayed on his body, so he took off his clothes and washed his whole body, carefully inspected the inside and outside of his body, and then left with his flying sword.?
The elixir exchanged this time is enough for him to practice for five or six years. There are still more than 7,000 spiritual stones in the storage bag. In the short term, he will not have to worry about the cost of practicing.
…
In the guest room of Baoying Inn, Gufang City, Tainan.
The girl looked out the window with great interest at the two wild deer competing for food in the bamboo forest in the backyard. The man behind her took off his hood and revealed his true face. He was an old man with white beard and hair. What was even more surprising was that this old man was actually an old man.
He is a Golden Elixir monk. The young man just now looked like a lifelike human skin mask, complete with scalp and hair.
"Miss, we should go back, otherwise Mr. Fan will send someone to look for us." The old man stood behind her and said respectfully.
"Why are you so anxious! We finally came out once, Uncle Qian, do you think there are really those ancient ruins in Xingang? It doesn't look like it. The spiritual power here is weak and the resources are scarce. How could the ancient monks bury important materials?
Here it is!”
"That's not necessarily true. Over the past millions of years, the world has changed drastically. Before the great catastrophe, this place may have been a place of great beauty and beauty. Two years ago, this place was filled with precious light. If it were not an ancient relic, it must have been born in the earth.
