Step by Step Ascend to Immortality - Chapter 98 - 88 Huge Profits

Chapter 98: Chapter 88 Huge Profits

“Even if there are Foundation Establishment Pills, how could it be so easy to foster a Foundation Establishment cultivator?” An Zhiyu said sourly beside him. “But in this way, I’m afraid the Pang family will have at most one Foundation Establishment Pill left!”

He had a feeling of squandering precious things. He continued, “If establishing the foundation were so easy, I wouldn’t have spent a hundred years on it!”

Liu Suiyun, however, was well aware of the inside story of the Pang family. “What I heard is that this Foundation Establishment cultivator is indeed a sham. It is said to be a Qi Condensation consummation cultivator around a hundred years old in the Pang family. Seeing that there is no hope of breakthrough, he had to forcibly break through to the Foundation Establishment stage with strong medicines…”

It is very difficult for such a Qi Condensation consummation cultivator around a hundred years old to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, major sects and families will not waste Foundation Establishment Pills on them. But the Pang family has had to push him out to hold the fort.

He continued, “But in this way, when he was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he inevitably injured many meridians. He is much weaker than an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator and only slightly stronger than a quasi-Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

“A sham is a sham!” An Zhiyu was really jealous because he couldn’t get it. “I don’t believe he can be much stronger than a quasi-Foundation Establishment cultivator?”

Liu Suiyun finally revealed a shocking piece of news. “But the key to the problem is not here. After this consummation cultivator broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his lifespan did not increase…”

“His lifespan didn’t increase?” An Zhiyu almost fell off his chair. “How is this possible? How is this possible?”

You should know that the greatest temptation for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is the increase of one hundred and twenty years of lifespan. Although he didn’t live a wonderful life in the past hundred years, An Zhiyu still wants to live another hundred years. Of course, it would be best if he could marry a few eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls as concubines.

“A real Foundation Establishment cultivator is not so easily fostered!” Although Liu Suiyun has not established the foundation himself, he has obtained a lot of inside information about how to establish the foundation from Gu Yinghua. “Forcibly fostered in a hurry, it would be good if there is no reduction in lifespan. This fellow from the Pang family can at most live to be one hundred and thirty years old!”

Becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator but only increasing his lifespan by a few years. An Zhiyu finds such a result hard to accept. He repeatedly said, “If it were me, I would rather not establish the foundation. I will never accept such a result!”

Liu Suiyun now smiled and said, “If Fellow Daoist An gets a Foundation Establishment Pill, he will surely succeed in one go. But this time, I and the arguer really can’t show up in Tianji Prefecture. So Fellow Daoist An still has to go to Tianji Prefecture and add fuel to the fire again.”

“I’ll go. Even if the Pang family has an extra sham Foundation Establishment cultivator, I’m not afraid!”

He has now figured it out. This is a desperate measure of the Pang family. Forcibly promoting a Foundation Establishment cultivator with resources and then trying to hold on for the next twenty or thirty years. Perhaps there is hope to wait until the clouds disperse and the sun shines. But nothing is so easy. He must add fuel to this fire again.

But soon An Zhiyu asked, “Who should we sell this batch of goods to? This batch of goods is very valuable now!”

The batch of goods he mentioned is naturally a batch of goods that Liu Suiyun is hoarding now. Most of them are trump cards that can be directly used on the battlefield, such as talisman treasures, Xian-destroying arrows, and Heavenly Thunder Seeds. The rest of the goods are also all kinds of pills that are most urgently needed on the battlefield.

Now war clouds are gathering in Tianji Prefecture. Whether it is sect cultivators, loose cultivators, or various immortal cultivation families, they all see a great battle coming and are frantically snapping up these goods. This batch of goods that Liu Suiyun and everyone else has hoarded by going bankrupt has now increased in price by at least 60%.

This profit is not extremely high. But now everyone is just fanning the flames behind the scenes and doesn’t have to fight on the battlefield in person. For everyone, that is simply extremely profitable. More importantly, this business can be said to be a business without capital because most of the spirit stones are mortgaged with the bone hand of Beixi Zhenjun.

This bone hand of Beixi Zhenjun can be considered the remains of a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator anyway. Whether it is used for making medicine or refining into a weapon, it is excellent. But when Liu Suiyun and An Zhiyu want to resell this bone hand, they encounter a great difficulty.

The key lies in how to prove that this bone hand is the remains of Beixi Zhenjun and not just the bone hand of some random person. Although this bone hand contains great power, it can only prove that the owner of the bone hand is a powerful Golden Core existence. The story told by Liu Suiyun and An Zhiyu may not be fully believed by everyone.

More importantly, for such an extremely precious bone hand, An Zhiyu originally estimated that the best result would be only two thousand spirit stones. But later, after inquiring, he found that if it could catch a grand auction, perhaps the price could be increased by 50% or even doubled. But such a grand auction is hard to come by. Perhaps within three to five years, this bone hand will be stuck in their hands.

At the same time, safety issues cannot be ignored. The highest cultivation level of the cultivators involved in this matter is only An Zhiyu. But after living for a hundred years, he hasn’t saved a thousand spirit stones. Such wealth of two or three thousand spirit stones is tempting. Who can guarantee that the seller won’t use ruthless means afterwards? You should know that making such a deal can make most shops in Jiazhou Market not open for several years.

In the end, everyone racked their brains and came up with a solution. Through connections, they found a Daoist Gulu who specializes in large-scale black market auctions. This Daoist Gulu is a standard black-hearted person, extremely black. This bone hand worth at least fifteen hundred spirit stones was evaluated by him at a price of one thousand spirit stones. Then he was only willing to pay 50% in advance. And with all kinds of deductions, in the end, only two hundred spirit stones were obtained.

But Liu Suiyun had already thought of a way. He directly invited professional public relations people and promised a consultant fee of one hundred spirit stones if the matter was successful. All the obtained spirit stones would be used to buy a batch of black goods from Daoist Gulu. After the auction was completed, there would be a heavy reward. As a result, Daoist Gulu immediately became fair. Not only did the evaluation price increase by four hundred spirit stones, but in the end, after deducting the consultant fee, everyone could receive nine hundred spirit stones.

Nine hundred spirit stones is still some distance from Liu Suiyun’s expectation. Everyone borrowed from everywhere. Finally, they managed to gather twelve hundred spirit stones. According to the agreement, they bought another batch of stolen goods from Daoist Gulu. And now this batch of goods carries everyone’s hopes.

An Zhiyu’s task now is to sell this batch of black goods to the battlefield in Tianji and earn a large sum of spirit stones. “Which family is the most cost-effective for us to sell to? Commander Xing, give us some advice and think about it!”

“I’ve already thought of it!” Liu Suiyun gave the answer. “When you go to Tianji Prefecture, don’t contact other families. Just look for the Pang family. You have so many trump cards on you and you are a quasi-Foundation Establishment cultivator. The Pang family won’t dare to cheat you!”

Liu Suiyun added a sentence. “Of course, when trading, I will ask Huijun to go and help you. With Guo Huijun in charge, there will be no worries at all!”

“The Pang family?” An Zhiyu was immediately shocked by this turn. “How could it be the Pang family? Commander Xing, don’t you have an unresolvable feud with the Pang family?”

“Business is business. Hatred is hatred!” Liu Suiyun is not just good-looking. “I once heard that a merchant who doesn’t sell sharp swords to his enemies is not a good merchant. More importantly, now in the entire Tianji Prefecture, the Pang family has the most urgent need for this batch of goods and can pay the most spirit stones. Even if they can’t pay in spirit stones, they also have enough means of payment!”

“The Pang family is in the greatest need of this batch of goods and can pay the most spirit stones!”

An Zhiyu immediately understood. The current situation is indeed as Liu Suiyun said. The entire Tianji Prefecture is under the pressure of dark clouds. All the pressure is on the Pang family. A century-old famous family. After losing almost all its strength, even with a watered-down Foundation Establishment cultivator, it can’t maintain the current situation.

Now the Pang family will be like a gambler who has lost everything. They will do everything possible to maintain the current situation. With so much gold and silver, shops, fields, houses, and interests in both the underworld and the legitimate world, and even some resources closely related to cultivating immortality, they don’t know how many spirit stones can be produced in a year. How could they give up everything without a fight!

Even if the Pang family has many accumulations, this batch of goods that An Zhiyu brings can be said to be the most in line with the Pang family’s appetite. It must be able to sell at a good price. An Zhiyu has already thought about it. “If I don’t cheat the Pang family well, I will be sorry for Commander Xing and myself!”

An Zhiyu told himself in his heart, “It must be really black!”

But An Zhiyu himself didn’t expect that his heart could be so black to such an extent. “Three thousand seven hundred spirit stones. The Pang family paid three thousand seven hundred spirit stones for this batch of goods! We’re rich!”

When he was speaking, his whole body was excited. When drinking water, he even chewed the teacup. “Now three thousand seven hundred spirit stones are in Madam Guo’s spiritual armor. Everyone will divide the spoils later!”

Buying this batch of black goods from Daoist Gulu only cost twelve hundred spirit stones. Although the origin of this batch of black goods is unknown and the price outside is soaring now, everyone estimates that the market price is around two thousand five hundred spirit stones. No one expected to get three thousand seven hundred spirit stones from the Pang family.

“Divide the spoils! Divide the spoils!” An Zhiyu’s smile couldn’t be closed. “This is the first time I’ve seen so many spirit stones. So many spirit stones! My eyes are dazzled. This time I can take the lion’s share. At least I can gather enough for a small part of a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

This is really unexpected. After working so hard and venturing through so many secret realms and dangerous places, the total harvests combined are actually not as good as this time of fanning the flames. More importantly, in addition to this sum of spirit stones, as long as the bone hand of Beixi Zhenjun can be sold at a good price, he can still have several hundred spirit stones in his pocket. Maybe he can gather enough for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although he can’t snatch a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Pang family, An Zhiyu has no regrets at all. A century-old famous family like the Pang family. Even if it has been severely hit many times, how could it not have some final trump card? If one wants to seize the remaining Foundation Establishment Pill, one will inevitably face a situation of nine deaths. How can it be as easy as dividing spirit stones now? “Commander Xing, do you have any other ideas for making spirit stones? I, An Zhiyu, will follow you!”

“There are still some, but it’s not the time yet!” Liu Suiyun casually covered it up. “When you contacted the Pang family this time, is there any important news?”

Although he has an informant in the Pang family through Xia Jingjue’s relationship, he still doesn’t know much about the real inside story of the Pang family. Beside him, Guo Huijun gently clapped her hands with her two silver gloves. “There is a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

Liu Suiyun immediately said, “Huijun, I only want to hear the good news!”

Guo Huijun replied, “Then I’ll start with the bad news. You are in big trouble. You must go to Shenxiao Mountain!”
