Chapter 89 (1/2)
Before returning home, Lin Xun went to Golden Hall again.
A Flaming Spirit Saber was sold at a sky-high price, which caused a sensation throughout the town, and the initial coldness and cheerlessness of Golden Hall had gone. Instead, now, it was thriving and crowded with customers.
Gu Yanping dealt with business perfectly. Laying emphasis on credit and commitment, he soon became rooted in Donglin Town, and soon his business became more and more prosperous.
When Lin Xun learnt about all these things, he could not help signing with emotion. Gu Yanping was an overmatch in Gang Spirit Realm. Who could imagine that he was also so good at business?
Lin Xun left from Golden Hall, with Gu Liang.
After killing Tiger Lyu three days ago, Lin Xun removed all the treasures in Tiger Lyu’s underground treasure house.
These treasures included gold, silver and jewelry, spiritual medicines, elixirs, spiritual materials and minerals, all of which were of incredible value and earned by Tiger Lyu’s hard work during these decades.
However, Lin Xun, after selection, found that most of the treasures were not useful for him, so he came to Golden Hall this time to sell the useless ones.
Knowing this, Gu Yanping agreed with great cheerfulness and sent his son, Gu Liang, to return home with Lin Xun to count the value of these articles.
……
In the Courtyard 49 in the Civilian Area.
It took a full half-hour for Gu Liang to count all the items and assess their specific value – 116 imperial gold coins!
Lin Xun was also surprised. This was equivalent to 11,600 imperial silver coins. If calculated in copper coin, they were worth a total of 1.16 million!
It was absolutely an astronomical sum of money for Lin Xun. Thirty or forty Flaming Spirit Sabers, each worth 300 imperial silver coins, could be bought with such an amount of money.
It could also be seen from this how many treasures the Black-tiger Gang, as the most powerful force in Civilian Area, had acquired over the years.
On top of that, these were just the total value of some items that Lin Xun felt not useful at all.
The value of other elixirs, money, spiritual materials… that had been picked out by Lin Xun, at least was more than a hundred imperial gold coins!
As to this, Lin Xun could only sigh with emotion again, campaign and plunder, indeed was one of the most effective means of wealth convergence.
Finally, at the insistence of Lin Xun, the changes of 116 imperial gold coins were ignored and the final transaction price was 100 imperial gold coins. The transaction with Golden Hall was done.
Lin Xun voluntarily gave up 16 imperial gold coins, which made Gu Liang admire and feel grateful. In his heart, he had taken Lin Xun as a friend worth making.
Gu promised Lin Xun that he would personally deliver the money after Golden Hall sold all the goods.
Gu Liang had to do this, because they could not pay out 100 imperial gold coins at the moment with the current financial resources of Golden Hall.
For this, Lin Xun was not anxious. After the deal, he began to chat with Gu Liang.
Lin soon learned that the second Flaming Spirit Saber that he presented to Gu Yanping as a gift the other day had been sold for 200 imperial silver coins, a hundred imperial silver coins less than the price of the first one.
It was easy to understand. As the saying goes, a thing is valued if it is rare. For any treasure, if it was unique, then it was the most valuable. If there were two or three identical treasures, then the price would decline accordingly.
However, according to Gu Liang, even if there were more Flaming Spirit Sabers in the market in the future, the final price would not be less than 160 imperial silver coins. Apart from the money deducted by Golden Hall, Lin Xun could get no less than 110 imperial silver coins.
Lin Xun thought about it for a while. The cost of refining a Flaming Spirit Saber was about 30 imperial silver coins. If counted in this way, more than tripled profit could be gained if he sold one!
Why were the spiritual tattooists exalted and deeply admired?
Just because a spiritual tattooist could make a fortune that many people would be jealous of, or in other words, not only spiritual tattoos, but also endless gold dust flowed out of the fingers of every spiritual tattooist!
At present, Lin Xun was still not a spiritual tattooist, because he had not been able to inscribe a complete spiritual tattoo formation. He was still a spiritual apprentice.
But the means by which he was able to refine spiritual weapons only with his cultivation in Martial Realm was incomparable in the contemporary era.
Fortunately, this secret was only known by Lin Xun and Shia Zhi. Otherwise, it would frighten other spiritual tattooists in the world.
After all, who could believe that a teenager far from being an overmatch at the realm of Gang Spirit, who was only 13 or 14 years old, had already possessed the power of refining spiritual weapons?
And if those spiritual tattooists knew that Lin Xun could not only refine spiritual weapons, but also almost had no failure in refining the spiritual weapons, they must be dumbfounded.
Of course, if those spiritual tattooists further learnt that the Explosive-flame Saber refined by Lin Xun was twenty percent more powerful than the usual one, what would they think of that?
Lin Xun was not a fledgling now. Deeply understanding the principle of making great wealth quietly, he certainly would not tell these secrets to others.
Though it was hard to keep it a secret.
Just like this time, Gu Liang suddenly said, “Lin Xun, on the second Flaming Spirit Saber, there is an ancient ‘XUN’ mark, which is obviously unique to one spiritual tattooist. As long as you see this mark, you will know that it is a masterpiece belonging to a specific spiritual tattooist.”
