Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
“Just call me ‘sir,’ no need to address me as ‘senior,’” Ye Feng said.
Li Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, her face full of smiles, and her beautiful eyes kept staring at Ye Feng.
Night Wind asked, "What's the deal with that Great Dragon Merchant Guild?"
Upon hearing the words "Dalong Chamber of Commerce," Li Mingzhu's face immediately revealed a deep sense of indignation.
"The Great Dragon Chamber of Commerce is the largest and most powerful chamber of commerce in our Lingluo City. That's why the people in the Great Dragon Chamber of Commerce are arrogant and domineering, and they often bully us second-rate chambers of commerce."
"And that Deng Feng is the only son of Deng Tiancheng, the president of the Dalong Chamber of Commerce. He is a spoiled brat who acts recklessly at the Huatian Hotel all day long."
Ye Feng nodded and asked, "Deng Feng just said that your Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce owes their Dalong Chamber of Commerce 200,000 taels of silver?"
"That is indeed true."
Li Mingzhu sighed softly, her eyes slightly reddening.
“Last year, my father and mother went to other cities to purchase goods, but they were attacked by monsters on the way. My father, mother, and the guards and workers of the caravan were all killed by the monsters, and the entire caravan of goods was destroyed.”
"That's why our Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce was hit hard and had to borrow money from the Dalong Chamber of Commerce to make ends meet."
"But in reality, my grandfather only borrowed 150,000 taels of silver from the Dalong Chamber of Commerce, agreeing to repay the money within a year. However, the interest rate of the Dalong Chamber of Commerce was too high, and they actually demanded a total of 50,000 taels of silver in interest."
"My grandfather had no choice but to reluctantly agree."
At this point, Li Mingzhu rubbed her eyes and perked up, saying, "However, after nearly a year of recuperation and development, our Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce has accumulated more than 100,000 taels of silver. As long as this batch of goods is sold, or offered to the immortals of the Lingluo Sect in exchange for benefits, we can pay off all our debts."
"I just didn't expect that Deng Feng would be so hateful. When he found out that we had purchased a large quantity of goods from Baiyue City, he actually brought people to rob us, and even said he would use the goods to pay off the debt..."
Night Wind smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me here, the Great Dragon Chamber of Commerce can't do anything to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye," Li Mingzhu said gratefully.
Shortly afterward, Li Chang'an, who had left the Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce and was nowhere to be found, returned.
Upon learning that Deng Feng had brought men to seize the goods, but was frightened by the night wind and fled in panic like a stray dog, Li Chang'an was both angry and delighted.
What is infuriating is that Deng Feng's actions are no different from those of a robber.
What brought joy was that Ye Feng had lent a helping hand, and Ye Feng's relationship with Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce naturally became even closer.
"Mr. Ye, I've found out about the Four Sacred Medicines!"
Li Chang'an strode into Ye Feng's room and said excitedly.
"Really? Tell me quickly!" Night Breeze's eyes lit up.
Li Chang'an immediately replied, "This is information I obtained from Baicaotang. Baicaotang in our Lingluo City is the Lingluo Sect's trading post. Five days later, Baicaotang will hold an auction, where various spiritual flowers and herbs will be on display. Among them is Dongji Minghun Grass, one of the Four Sacred Medicines, and it will be the grand finale item."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng smiled with satisfaction.
Just moments ago, Ye Feng was worrying about clues to the Four Sacred Medicines, but now Li Chang'an has already found out about one of them, the Eastern Extreme Bright Soul Grass.
This is truly like a pillow being delivered when you're about to fall asleep!
Night Breeze nodded and said, "Very good, you did well."
"Mr. Ye, you have done our Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce such a great favor, it is only right that I serve you," Li Chang'an said with great enthusiasm.
Night Breeze then asked, "How much silver do you estimate it will cost to bid for the Eastern Soul-Brightening Grass?"
Li Chang'an smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Ye, silver is the currency used by us mortals, while the currency of martial artists is spirit stones, which are divided into three levels: low, medium, and high."
"Ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone, ten low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one mid-grade spirit stone, and ten mid-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spirit stone."
"I estimate that to successfully bid for the Eastern Extremity Soul Grass, you'll need at least 500,000 low-grade spirit stones, and maybe even more."
Ye Feng frowned slightly.
Five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, that's five thousand high-grade spirit stones.
That's no small number.
Although Ye Feng went to the Tianyuan World and killed many elders of the Nine Heavens Mystic Palace, he obtained a large number of spirit stones from their storage rings.
However, the number of spirit stones Ye Feng currently possesses is far from five thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Looks like I need to find a way to make money!
Seemingly sensing that Ye Feng was worried about the spirit stones, Li Chang'an said with a wry smile, "Mr. Ye, don't think it's expensive. My estimate of 500,000 low-grade spirit stones is not an exaggeration."
"After all, the Eastern Bright Soul Grass you want is one of the four sacred medicines of our Seven Immortals World. Since it has the title of sacred medicine, it is naturally priceless."
Ye Feng said, "I know, I'm just thinking about what methods to use to quickly amass wealth... Chairman Li, I wonder if your Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce sells elixirs and magical artifacts?"
"Mr. Ye, do you have any elixirs or magical artifacts? May I take a look?" Li Chang'an asked excitedly.
Ye Feng immediately opened his storage ring and took out several Qi-Nourishing Pills to replenish true qi and Water Cloud Pills for healing.
At the same time, Ye Feng also took out several magical artifacts.
These magical artifacts were obtained by Ye Feng from martial artists he killed in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm.
At this moment, seeing Ye Feng casually produce so many good things, Li Chang'an's eyes lit up!
"These are truly miraculous pills... Qi-Nourishing Pills and Water Cloud Pills, they're all wonderful things!"
"These spiritual artifacts are even better! They're incredibly valuable!"
Li Chang'an examined the elixirs and magical artifacts, then looked at Ye Feng and said, "Mr. Ye, selling them hastily will definitely result in significant losses, so I have a solution."
"What method?" Night Wind asked.
“Our Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce can also hold an auction to publicly auction your elixirs and magical artifacts. I think there will definitely be people bidding a lot of spirit stones!” Li Chang’an said excitedly.
Ye Feng thought about it and felt that Li Chang'an's suggestion was indeed good.
So Ye Feng said, "Then let's do as you say. Whether it's elixirs or magical artifacts, the spirit stones obtained from the auction will be split 90/10 between me and your Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye!"
Li Chang'an nodded hurriedly, his face flushed with excitement.
After leaving Ye Feng's room, Li Chang'an rubbed his hands together and said, "We've struck it rich! This time we're really going to strike it rich! The elixirs and magical artifacts that Mr. Ye brought out are all of very high quality! As long as we hold an auction, we'll definitely become famous throughout Lingluo City, and our Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce will also become famous!"
"Mr. Ye is truly unfathomable; he can produce so many elixirs and magical artifacts so casually," Li Mingzhu remarked.
