Chapter 277: Chapter 278: Now Rich (1st Update) (Please Bookmark, Tip, and Recommend)

Although the price was extremely high, it still wasn’t enough to satisfy Chu Fengmian.

He overheard the conversation and naturally understood that the value of the Spiritual Artifacts far exceeded the offered price.

Even though there were a great number of pills, Chu Fengmian, who had mastered the Battle Dragon Technique, consumed pills endlessly during cultivation and wasn’t concerned about having too many.

Chu Fengmian’s gaze flickered before he spoke,

"Each Profound Level top-grade Spiritual Artifact is fifteen million Nine Tripods Pills, making a total of six hundred fifty million Nine Tripods Pills."

Six hundred fifty million was nearly a doubling of the price, a clear case of opening with a strong demand.

Even Lu Qingshan couldn’t help furrowing his brow upon hearing this price.

While there was still profit to be had at this price, the Twilight Pavilion always aimed to maximize profits and disliked making concessions willingly.

Lu Qingshan thought for a moment before responding,

"Mr. Chu, don’t you think your demand is a bit too high? Profound Level top-grade Spiritual Artifacts are priced at only five million Nine Tripods Pills each during this period of warfare among the six nations. We from the Twilight Pavilion have already raised our offer to eight million, which is not low at all."

"Oh? Aren’t those just the ordinary Profound Level top-grade Spiritual Artifacts? What I offer is not those kinds of inferior goods."

Chu Fengmian sneered, not a fool to be cheated. He was very clear about the value of his Spiritual Artifacts.

"These Spiritual Artifacts, regardless of which faction buys them, are not only about earning wealth but also about establishing good relations. Their value is far beyond simple calculations."

For any trading house, these artifacts were crucial, and Chu Fengmian was confident that the Twilight Pavilion wouldn’t give up, which meant he should demand a higher price.

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Lu Qingshan pondered momentarily before continuing,

"How about this then? Mr. Chu, if you’re willing to sell the Spiritual Artifacts to our Twilight Pavilion, out of respect for you, I’ll increase the price. Ten million per piece, totaling four hundred thirty million Nine Tripods Pills, how is this price?"

"Four hundred thirty million? If Pavilion Master Lu isn’t sincere and unwilling to make concessions, then there’s no point discussing this deal further."

"Perhaps I should visit other trading houses. Surely, someone will be able to afford this batch of Spiritual Artifacts."

Chu Fengmian snorted coldly, gathered up all the Spiritual Artifacts, and stood up, ready to leave.

"Mr. Chu, wait, please."

Seeing Chu Fengmian getting ready to leave, Lu Qingshan quickly stopped him.

These Spiritual Artifacts weren’t just a means to obtain wealth; they could also establish many connections. Wealth wasn’t crucial for the Twilight Pavilion.

But building these connections could lead to a continuous stream of wealth.

At all costs, they had to secure this batch of Spiritual Artifacts today.

"Six hundred fifty million, let’s settle at six hundred fifty million Nine Tripods Pills."

As he spoke, Lu Qingshan waved his hand grandly, and a river of pills appeared in the chamber, resembling a long stream.

"Good, indeed it is six hundred fifty million Nine Tripods Pills."

Chu Fengmian glanced and immediately confirmed the count, six hundred fifty million, no more, no less.

With a motion of his palm, he collected the entire river of pills.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flickered in Lu Qingshan’s eyes.

A vast fortune of six hundred fifty million Nine Tripods Pills wasn’t easy to hold onto.

He had intentionally brought out all the pills, trying to probe Chu Fengmian’s capacity, not expecting Chu Fengmian to collect them effortlessly.

"It seems this Mr. Chu does have some background."

Lu Qingshan thought, as he collected the forty-three Profound Level top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Although he had observed Chu Fengmian’s abilities, the swiftness of Chu Fengmian’s actions was still unexpectedly fast, indicating that his skills weren’t as simple as they appeared.

"I also want to sell some lower, middle, and high-grade Profound Level Spiritual Artifacts."

Chu Fengmian stated.

"Oh? Our Twilight Pavilion certainly welcomes that. Mr. Chu, feel free to bring them out."

Lu Qingshan was briefly stunned before bursting into laughter.

It seems they’ve come across a big business deal today. Retaining Chu Fengmian was indeed a wise decision.

While the premium grade artifacts were valuable, their numbers were insufficient for establishing relationships and would be too wasteful.

If there were another batch of lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts, they would be perfect for building connections.

"Yes."

Chu Fengmian nodded and waved his hand, bringing countless more Spiritual Artifacts into the chamber.

This time, the number of Spiritual Artifacts amounted to three to four hundred of low, mid, and high-grade Profound Level types.

They were placed densely throughout the entire chamber.

"This..."

Such a number of Spiritual Artifacts caught Lu Qingshan off guard, even though he had never seen so many at once.

The quality of this batch varied.

Many of these weren’t acquired from the tomb of the Emperor of Fertility but rather taken from those Chu Fengmian had slain, differing in grade and craftsmanship.

"Mr. Chu, could you wait a moment for me to carefully count this batch?" Lu Qingshan touched the sweat on his head and hastily asked.

"No problem, take your time to count and give me a price," Chu Fengmian responded.

Then he closed his eyes and pondered, waiting for two to three hours before Lu Qingshan finally completed counting all the Spiritual Artifacts.

"Mr. Chu, among this batch of Spiritual Artifacts, there are eighty-seven high-grade, one hundred and four middle-grade, and two hundred and thirty low-grade artifacts. I value them all together at nine hundred and ninety million Nine Tripods Pills; how does that sound?"

Revealing this amount made Lu Qingshan’s heart tighten, as the Twilight Pavilion had not encountered such a large deal in a long time.

Though this batch’s quality was far lower than the previous one, the sheer volume, nearly ten times greater, naturally was worth a lot.

"Fine."

Chu Fengmian simply nodded without upping the price any further.

This price had reached the upper limit in Chu Fengmian’s mind, and it was evident that Lu Qingshan, in his eagerness to secure Chu Fengmian as a financial backer, had offered the highest price possible.

"Mr. Chu, here are nine hundred ninety million Nine Tripods Pills, please accept them."

Lu Qingshan first collected all the Spiritual Artifacts, then waved his hand, transforming them into a long river of pills.

Chu Fengmian easily caught it, securing all nine hundred ninety million Nine Tripods Pills into his spatial ring.

With this, Chu Fengmian’s wealth reached over one and a half billion Nine Tripods Pills, an immense fortune that would make many saints envious and perhaps even tempt them to rob him.
