The Dragon Rider Merchant Guild's "Stardust Fine Sand" was conveniently pre-packaged, with each portion weighing exactly one *qian*, no more, no less.
In a way, "Stardust Fine Sand" was even more precious than "Starlight Spiritual Water."
A single *qian* of "Stardust Fine Sand" had a market price of over twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones.
And it was a case of having the money but not being able to find the goods!
Yet, "Qian Duoduo" was now claiming to sell it for only "one thousand low-grade spirit stones."
They could barely believe their ears!
So, was the Dragon Rider Merchant Guild here to do business, or to "do charity"?
Next, they heard a series of prices from "Qian Duoduo."
"Sage Dragon's Tooth Rice," priced at "one thousand low-grade spirit stones" per grain.
"Dragon's Tooth Rice Spiritual Wine," priced at "one thousand low-grade spirit stones" per bottle.
…
This was insane!
The prices were outrageously low!
Most astonishing of all was the "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo Rice," priced at ten low-grade spirit stones per grain.
This price was practically giving it away!
"Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo Rice" was, after all, a "Level One Spiritual Rice."
On the market, "Level One Spiritual Rice" sold for anywhere from a hundred to several hundred spirit stones! Never less than a hundred.
Selling "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo Rice" so cheaply was like being a "price butcher"!
Steward Zhu and Steward Ma were ecstatic.
They were now one hundred percent certain: the Dragon Rider Merchant Guild wasn't here to do business; they were here to "do charity"!
Yes, that was it!
Steward Zhu and Steward Ma, setting aside their internal disputes for the moment, were dazzled by the "list of goods" provided by "Qian Duoduo."
The Dragon Rider Merchant Guild's "list of goods" was not only rich and varied, but it also included not only "Starlight Spiritual Water," "Stardust Fine Sand," "Sage Dragon's Tooth Rice," and "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo Rice," but also various "heavenly materials and earthly treasures," as well as magical artifacts, elixirs, and even various cultivation manuals… truly a comprehensive selection!
The various "heavenly materials and earthly treasures" mainly came from two sources.
First, from their own production of "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo."
Ever since "Oriental Star Chart" gained its "Third Innate Star," it had been raining down massive amounts of "Star Green Light" every month.
The "Star Green Light" was equivalent to a "weakened version of the Heaven-Sleeve Bottle," capable of accelerating the growth of spiritual herbs and medicines and promoting their maturation.
Currently, in the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," spiritual herbs and medicines of thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years, were found everywhere.
This time, "Qian Duoduo" had brought a large batch out on this trading journey.
Second, from the spoils of "running dungeons"!
Ever since Li Xiaoyao and other "first-generation sword renters" developed the "running dungeons" activity, which was beneficial for both body and mind, the cultivators of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" had deeply fallen in love with this form of entertainment.
The cultivators of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" were forming various "teams to run dungeons."
The entire "Eastern Barren Mountain Range," and the surrounding areas, had been thoroughly scoured by them, and all the "demonic sects" had suffered!
After the cultivators of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" annihilated the "demonic sects," they had plundered an immense amount of resources, including but not limited to magical artifacts, elixirs, captives, puppets, and cultivation methods…
They had no interest in these "worthless scraps," so they had all been sold to "Qian Duoduo" at a low price.
"Qian Duoduo" acquired them at less than one-tenth of the market price and was now selling them at five-tenths of the market price, which was very reasonable, extremely reasonable!
These magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans, puppets, cultivation methods, and "heavenly materials and earthly treasures" were also highly attractive to Steward Zhu and Steward Ma, who were practically drooling…
They wanted them, all of them!
Just as Steward Zhu and Steward Ma were overwhelmed by the choices, a stranger's voice suddenly interjected.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, this storage bag contains three hundred high-grade spirit stones. I wish to acquire one thousand bottles of Starlight Spiritual Water, one thousand portions of Stardust Fine Sand, and one thousand grains of Sage Dragon's Tooth Rice. Is that possible?"
A group of people pushed their way in. The leader, holding a delicate and luxurious "storage bag," looked at "Qian Duoduo" with hopeful eyes.
Someone recognized his identity.
"Steward Hu of San Jiu Pharmacy!"
"San Jiu Pharmacy" was also renowned in the world of elixirs. Although its status and reputation were not as high as "Hui Ren Tang" or "Chao Ren Tang," it was not far behind.
Steward Hu of "San Jiu Pharmacy" was here, of course, for clues about the "Innate Harmony Pill."
In fact, he had arrived long ago and had been "observing the situation" from a distance.
He had witnessed everything that had happened so far.
Including the conflict between Steward Zhu and Steward Ma, and "Qian Duoduo's" "pricing"…
At this moment, Steward Hu of "San Jiu Pharmacy" could no longer hold back and made his move.
Steward Hu was very sincere; he directly produced "three million low-grade spirit stones," which was all the cash he had on him.
To "quality customers" like Steward Hu, "Qian Duoduo's" attitude couldn't be any better. With a brilliant smile, he chuckled and said.
"Welcome! Esteemed guest, here is your one thousand bottles of Starlight Spiritual Water, one thousand portions of Stardust Fine Sand, and one thousand grains of Sage Dragon's Tooth Rice!"
After "Qian Duoduo" accepted Steward Hu's "three hundred high-grade spirit stones," he prepared the goods Steward Hu needed in less than three seconds. He even thoughtfully packed them and had the "Mysterious Swordsman" deliver them to Steward Hu.
Steward Hu trembled slightly with excitement.
Even after receiving all the goods, he couldn't believe it was real…
One thousand bottles of "Starlight Spiritual Water," one thousand portions of "Stardust Fine Sand," and one thousand grains of "Sage Dragon's Tooth Rice" – the combined value of these goods was conservatively estimated at "thirty million low-grade spirit stones."
He, he had purchased goods worth "thirty million low-grade spirit stones" for only "three million low-grade spirit stones"!
It was too unreal!
This was all too unreal!
"Let's go!"
Steward Hu finally collected himself. He waved his hand, ordered his guards to carry the goods, and turned to leave.
Where to?
Naturally, back to "San Jiu Pharmacy" to get the money!
To bring back more "cash" and purchase as many goods as possible from the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild."
The more he bought, the more he earned!
It was a massive profit!
As the people from "San Jiu Pharmacy" left, others immediately crowded in, and not just one group, but several groups.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, our Lingnan Pharmacy wishes to purchase one hundred thousand grains of Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo Rice, one thousand grains of Sage Dragon's Tooth Rice…"
"Fellow Daoist Qian, our Qiangsheng Pharmacy wants to purchase five thousand three-thousand-year-old ginsengs, five thousand three-thousand-year-old polygonums…"
"Fellow Daoist Qian, our Pfizer Pharmacy wants to purchase three thousand Xuan Yuan He Qi Pills, three thousand Jin Wu Jiang Chen Pills, three thousand Hong Sheng Bai Jiang Pills…"
