179 An honest transaction? (1/2)

After seeing the 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin right in front of her, it would be wrong to say that Jin Ying didn't have ideas on killing Li Si whose cultivation was only in the Qi Sovereign and steal it all for herself.

But, with the possibility of becoming famous across the entire Mainland by legally buying them, Jim Ying chose to not do anything stupid like steal from Li Si.

Especially when everything about him was a mystery right now.

Regaining her cool and not showing emotions of shock any longer on her face, Jin Ying asked with a smile, ”How would you like to sell this Crystal Yin, honoured guest? We have an auction coming up in less than two weeks, and if you choose to sell it during that time you'd be able to obtain a higher price than what I can offer to buy it right now.”

Acting as if he was thinking, Bai Long said, ”I'm too busy to come back here, if like to sell it right now.”

”Oh.. ”

Feigning disappointment when she was actually very happy with this decision, because this way the excess money obtained from seeping the Crystal Yin would belong to her, Jin Ying said, ”The market price for Crystal Yin right now is 64 Qi Stones for every one kg. But since you are selling so much, we'd like to offer you 70 Qi Stones for every one kg.”

Nodding his head on the outside when he was actually smirking in the inside, how could Bai Long believe the woman who was acting as if she was taking a loss?

Being an item which was even bought at twice the cost as long as there was enough quantity of it available, Bai Long wouldn't be surprised if the market price itself was around 80 Qi Stones.

The currency in the Mainland was not made using any precious metals like gold, silver, or any of the others.

Instead, they were made using a special material which was formed of concentrated Qi. In simple words, the currency was made from rocks which were mined out of special Qi enriched mines inside which Qi had taken a solid form.

Qi Stones was the lowest grade of them. They were the stones which after being lined were being used in the same form. Each of them was of a different shape while being a handful in size.

Above them were Qi Bars which were made by refining multi Qi Stones, a hundred of them to be exact and then shaped it like a rectangular bar which made it look like a brick.

Due to this, the truly rich and strong cultivators used Qi Bars to build their own houses.

Even greater than Qi Bars were Qi Crystals which were a hundred Qi Bars liquified and then completely refined again and again until there wasn't a single impurity left inside them before turning it into a small nail sized crystal.

As for the currency which was valued the highest in the entire Mainland, it was Qi Coins.

With a hundred Qi Crystals fused together to form a single Qi Coin, there was nothing else which could rival against their value.

And regardless of which currency a cultivator had in his hands, all of them could be used by them to absorb Qi and use it to cultivate.

This was what gave the Qi currency a greater value than precious and costly metals.
