Chapter 145: Making a Fortune From War, Earning Millions?
Businessman?
After hearing this, Shao Wenmin was stunned for a moment and asked:
"Senior, do you have any magic weapons or elixirs that you want to use?"
"Although I, Shao, am just building a foundation, I have served as a guard for two years, and I also have some connections in Xinliang City..."
"It's just that the senior's magic weapon may not be affordable for ordinary monks..."
When Lin Chen heard this, he knew that Shao Wenmin was wrong.
So he thought about it and said:
"Shao Zhenshou, I am a businessman in the true sense!"
"Let me introduce myself again. I am the leader of Fengling Yueying Sect. I am responsible for selling elixirs and magic weapons..."
"The Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect walks, Senior Xu Shi..."
Shao Wenmin recited it silently in his mind, scratched his head, and felt that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
So he simply asked: "Senior, what kind of magic weapon do you want to sell?"
Lin Chen didn't do any ink, and directly took out a few top-quality magic weapons, a few bottles of elixirs, and a few Wu Leizi.
Shao Wenmin took these magic weapons and looked at them with a look of surprise on his face.
"These treasures of the seniors are very suitable for us and other foundation-building monks."
"Well, how about senior setting a price and I'll buy it directly!"
Shao Wenmin really fell in love with Lin Chen's magic pills.
At the same time, he also thought about buying it directly to have more relations with Lin Chen.
But Lin Chen knew in his heart that Shao Wenmin still misunderstood him.
Then Lin Chen said:
"Shao Zhenshou, I have many more magic weapons and elixirs like this. You can't afford them..."
"Oh? How many seniors are there..." Shao Zhenshou raised his eyebrows, a little disbelieving. He is a town guard. Although he has only completed the foundation building, his salary is not low, and his worth is not much worse than that of ordinary fake alchemy monks.
Lin Chen sighed, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of magic weapons appeared in the air.
After only giving Shao Zhenshou a look, Lin Chen took the magic weapon back.
"There are probably several thousand pieces, right? This is just in stock... I will have as many as I want later."
Although it was just a glimpse, Shao Zhenshou was still shocked by the countless magic weapons.
"Senior...senior is from the Chamber of Commerce? Are you coming to our Xinliang City to sell goods this time?" Shao Wenmin asked in surprise.
Lin Chen touched his nose and did not deny it.
"It's almost the same, but there are still some differences between our Fengling Yueying Sect and the Chamber of Commerce."
"I just don't know if Shao Zhenshou is interested in this batch of mine, and how much can he eat?"
After hearing this, Shao Wenmin fell into thinking.
The best magic weapon, five thunder seeds, and an elixir for recovering injuries.
These are scarce supplies on the front line!
Even the two righteous leaders of Changchun Sect and Tiandan Sect are constantly mobilizing supplies and magic weapons to the front line.
But compared with the needs of the front line, it is still much stretched.
Especially the demand for top-quality magic weapons.
A top-quality magic weapon, one worth no less than a thousand spiritual stones.
Moreover, even a second-level weapon refiner can only refine one piece of this magic weapon in a day.
Weapon refiners are also human beings, and they may fail in refining their weapons and need rest.
A second-level weapon refiner, no matter how productive he is, can only refine more than a hundred top-quality magical weapons in a year, and the quality is not high.
Since the war between the good and the evil has broken out, in just two years, there are simply not enough magic weapons on the battlefield!
Even some foundation-building monks are still using mid-grade or even low-grade magic weapons...
Among monks in the same realm, the strength of the magic weapon is often the key to determining victory or defeat!
Shao Wenmin murmured:
"If you can buy this batch of magic weapons, it will not only strengthen the strength of our Xinliang City, it will even be a great achievement!"
Thinking of this, Shao Wenmin said decisively:
"Senior, I will summon the monks in the city and register them."
"How many magic weapons and elixirs are needed in total? The transaction can be completed in one day at most... Senior, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen readily agreed.
There is no reason not to do this business that comes to your door.
Therefore, Shao Wenmin first arranged a residence for Long Ba.
Lin Chen also rested for a day at Long Ba's mansion.
The next day, Shao Wenmin hurriedly came to the door and provided Lin Chen with a list.
On the list are naturally the magic weapons and elixirs needed by the monks in Xinliang City.
Including nearly a thousand Wu Lei Zi, dozens of top-grade magic weapons, hundreds of top-grade magic weapons...
Hundreds of bottles of various types of elixirs.
Lin Chen did some inventory and found that his profit from this transaction alone was more than 200,000 spirit stones.
"Supreme Shao, have you brought all the spirit stones?" Lin Chen asked.
After hearing this, Shao Wenmin quickly handed over a bag of spirit stones and said: "Don't worry, senior, the spirit stones have been prepared a long time ago. Whoever owes you cannot owe you the spirit stones!"
Lin Chen glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness, and after confirming that the number was correct, he provided all the magic weapons and elixirs on the list.
"Tsk, tsk, this business that comes to your door is so easy to do!"
Lin Chen thought to himself, feeling particularly good.
If you just stay in Xinliang City for one day, you will get three hundred thousand spirit stones. How can business in this world be so easy?
After the transaction was over, Lin Chen handed over his hands and said:
"Shao Zhenshou, now that the deal is done, it's time for me to leave."
"I will come back when I need you next time..."
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Shao Wenmin's voice came from behind.
"Senior, wait!"
Shao Wenmin took two steps forward, handed over a token and said:
"Senior, this is the token of my Xinliang City garrison. With this token, you can also gain the trust of the garrisons of other cities on the front line."
"Senior, you sold the magic weapon to strengthen the power of the Righteous Alliance. It is really a righteous act to share the worries of the Righteous Alliance. With this token, you will surely be more convenient to do things."
Shao Wenmin knew that Lin Chen was going to other cities to continue trading.
After hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and he took the token and said, "In this case, thank you, Shao, the garrison!"
This token is still very useful to Lin Chen.
At least he will not be regarded as a spy of the magic way, and he can save some procedures, which is a lot more convenient.
...
After leaving Xinliang City, Lin Chen went all the way north.
Since the destruction of the Spirit Beast Sect a year ago, the territory of Ziyan has been plunged into war for thousands of miles.
But the further north you go, the more tragic the war situation becomes.
The thirteen cities in Ziyan are all in full war.
In just one year, six cities fell, and only seven cities are still holding on.
Although the war was launched on all fronts, the overall invasion route of the Demon Sect was still advancing from north to south.
Therefore, there were battles almost every day in the three cities on the front line, and there were cultivators killed.
In comparison, Xinliang City was the southernmost city in Ziyan Realm, so it was relatively safe.
In the next week, Lin Chen passed through Nanliang, Zhongliang, and Beiliang cities successively.
And with the token of Xinliang City, he completed the transaction with the garrisons of these three cities.
The three Liang cities of Nan, Zhongliang, and Beiliang are located in the middle part of the battle line of the Righteous Alliance. They can support the three cities in the northernmost part in the front, and can protect Xinliang City from sneak attacks in the back.
Therefore, the garrisons of the three cities are all in the realm of false dan, and the realm strength of the cultivators in the city is much higher than that of Xinliang City.
In just one week, Lin Chen earned no less than 800,000 spirit stones by trading with the three cities.
At this time, there was still half a month before the next Guangyuan Town auction.
Lin Chen was not in a hurry to go back, so he thought about doing business in the three frontline cities in the northernmost part.
...
One day later, Beiwang City.
This city is 3,000 miles away from Xinliang City and is one of the three cities on the front line of the Righteous Alliance.
After Lin Chen showed his credentials of the Righteous Alliance, he successfully entered the city.
The moment he entered the city gate, Lin Chen felt that he had passed through an invisible film, and the air seemed to fluctuate for a moment.
"Wow, a city defense formation?"
"A city defense formation that protects the entire Beiwang City. The Righteous Alliance has done a great job!"
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.
The area of Beiwang City is not large, only about half of Yudai City.
But from Lin Chen's perspective, the entire city defense formation is also remarkable. At least it is difficult to break through the Jindan-level offensive in a short period of time.
"My goodness, it seems that the battle situation on the front line is really tense. The cost of setting up this city defense formation alone is hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, right?"
"To operate the formation every day, even if there is no enemy attack, it is still an expenditure of thousands of spirit stones..."
Lin Chen can see that this city defense formation should have been arranged in the past two years.
It is likely that the peak master of Zhenfeng and several elders worked together to arrange it.
Entering Beiwang City, Lin Chen walked all the way to the inner city and soon found an inn to stay in.
The feeling of this city to Lin Chen was completely different from the previous Xinliang City.
There were very few mortals along the way, but there were many cultivators.
Even the ratio of mortals to cultivators reached an astonishing 3 to 1.
On average, for every three mortals in the city, there is a cultivator who has entered the Qi Refining Stage.
"It is worthy of being a frontline city. The number of mortals in the entire city is only 50,000. Most of the mortals should have been transferred to the rear."
"In comparison, the number of cultivators is even more than 15,000. Although most of them have just entered the Qi Refining Stage, this number of cultivators is too amazing!"
Lin Chen thought silently.
What is the concept of 15,000 cultivators gathered in one city?
Three years ago, the largest gathering place for cultivators in Yanlai was around Changchun Gate, including the market at the foot of the mountain.
But the number of cultivators in the whole market and Changchun Gate is less than half of that in this city.
The large number of cultivators means that everyone is a soldier here.
As long as the war breaks out, these cultivators can fight on the front line at the first time.
It won't be massacred by the Demon Sect, just like the Yudai City in the past...
"There are 15,000 cultivators in the whole Beiwang City. What a big blue ocean it is!"
At the same time, Lin Chen was a little tempted.
The purchasing power of the cultivators in this city alone is probably more than the previous four cities combined.
As long as Lin Chen can gain a firm foothold in this Beiwang City and win a healthy trade relationship.
That is an income of more than one million spirit stones!
And there are three such cities on the front line!
The huge income brought by this is even jealous of Lin Chen.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that I have to go to the garrison mansion of Beiwang City as soon as possible..."
Lin Chen thought silently, and then walked towards the garrison mansion in the inner city.
Unlike the four cities in the rear, the three cities on the front line are guarded by Jindan cultivators.
After Lin Chen showed the token, he waited quietly in the courtyard of the mansion.
…
At the same time.
The steward of the mansion brought Lin Chen's token in.
"Master, there is a cultivator outside the door who said that he wants to do a big business with Beiwang City."
"He has a token from the Xinliangcheng garrison. Do you want to see it?"
The steward was very humble, with a bit of respect in his eyes.
In front of him was an exceptionally young cultivator.
He was facing a map at the moment, observing the situation in Ziyan.
"In the northwest and due north, the two demon cultivating forces seem to be moving. Are they trying to compete with each other?"
The guard of Beiwang Town was speculating on the battle situation on the front line when he was suddenly interrupted by the steward, who just nodded and said:
"Oh? Put down the token... I'll go take a look when I have time!"
The steward put down the token and said before leaving:
"By the way, sir. Lord guard, that monk claims to be from the Fengling Yueying Sect, and his name is Xu Shi..."
Xu Shi! ?
Upon hearing this, the guard of Beiwang Town suddenly stood up.
"What did you say? His name is Xu Shi, from the Fengling Yueying Sect?"
"Yes, sir..." The steward was a little confused, how could the normally calm guard become so excited.
"Where is he now?"
The guard of Beiwang Town sounded a little urgent.
"Waiting in the governor's mansion!" the steward replied.
Beiwang Town stood up quickly after listening and hurriedly walked outside.
…
After a while.
Lin Chen, who was waiting, slowly opened his eyes and saw a somewhat familiar figure walking towards him.
"Brother Xu! It's really you!"
"Brother Wan? Why are you here..."
Lin Chen blinked. He never expected that the guard of Beiwang City was actually his fellow senior brother, Wan Xun!
Of course, Lin Chen now meets Wan Xun as Xu Shi.
So Lin Chen quickly adjusted his mentality, cupped his hands and said:
"Brother Wan, are you the guard of Beiwang City?"
Wan Xun nodded, "Brother Xu, this is a long story. In the past two years or so, the land of Qingzhou has undergone tremendous changes!"
"It's just that Brother Xu hasn't appeared in the past two years. Now...he just came out of the ruins, right?"
Many of the monks who entered the fourth level of the arena had heard about the four mysteries of life, old age, sickness and death.
So it's not really a secret.
So Lin Chen smiled bitterly and said:
"Forget it, Brother Wan! I made a mistake and chose the living sect, and I was trapped in the ruins for more than two years."
"Later, I still used my life-saving trump card to forcibly escape from the Jin Yuan Sect ruins."
Wan Xun expressed his understanding after hearing this, and he also heard about the content of the examination for students.
To complete the three-turn Jin Yuan Gong within five years would be too abnormal.
"Brother Xu, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Can you stay here in Beiwang City for a few days and catch up on old times?"
"Well, I originally wanted to take Brother Xu to my Changchun Gate as a guest, but now I have the task of guarding Beiwang City, and I can't get away from it for the time being..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen readily agreed and said, "That's what you wish for!"
So the two of them entered the city lord's mansion, made a box of tea, and talked for a long time.
Wanxun has been on the front line for two years and is very familiar with the situation in Qingzhou.
In just two years, Wanxun has grown a beard on his lips and looks much more mature.
Obviously, the battle on the front line has made Changchunmen, the former proud man of heaven, grow a lot.
"Brother Wan, I haven't seen you for more than two years... I think your current cultivation level is more than just turning the golden elixir, right?"
Lin Chen asked with some curiosity. To be able to become the guard of the three towns on the front line, one must have a high level of cultivation.
Wan Xun did not hide this, he nodded and said:
"In the ruins, I was rescued by Brother Xu, and later I was lucky enough to get a top-quality Jin Yuan Dan."
"After leaving the ruins, I prepared to form an elixir, and finally I condensed an eighth-grade golden elixir. I was very lucky."
"Now, I am already a second-level golden elixir cultivator... However, I am still weak on this front line!"
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.
Indeed, the strength of an eighth-grade golden elixir and a second-level golden elixir realm is close to the middle stage of ordinary golden elixir.
In the entire Qingzhou, he can be regarded as the number one person.
But the problem is that the current situation in Qingzhou, the second-turn golden elixir really can't influence the overall situation.
It may be possible to stick to one place, but it is almost impossible to influence the outcome of the two demon-suppressing paths.
After Wan Xun sighed with emotion, he looked at Lin Chen and said:
"Brother Xu's current cultivation aura is not obvious, and even the subordinates can't see through it. Do you think he has broken through the golden elixir realm?"
"Don't mention it. I wasted three years and luckily developed a super-grade golden elixir. Now I can reach the golden elixir realm..." Lin Chen nodded and only hid it a little.
"Well, super-grade golden elixir... ah?"
Wan Xun exclaimed and looked at Lin Chen with wide eyes.
Super-grade golden elixir, why are these four words so unfamiliar?
The Nine Transformations Golden Pill has been rare in Qingzhou for decades.
Not to mention that within the scope of the Righteous Dao Alliance, neither the Changchun Sect nor the Tiandan Sect has produced a Nine-turn Golden Pill for hundreds of years.
Not to mention...super-grade golden elixir!
"Ahem, Brother Xu is so self-effacing that I sound a little uncomfortable."
Wanxun coughed twice in embarrassment.
He didn't know what Versailles was, but subconsciously felt that what Lin Chen said was a bit too self-effacing.
Lin Chen helplessly spread his hands and said:
"Well, this place near Yan Lai is a small place after all. Wan Xun should go out and see more."
After Lin Chen pretended to be mysterious, Wan Xun became even more curious about Lin Chen's origins.
But he didn't ask further questions, he just sighed and said:
"The situation between good and evil is so difficult now, how can I stay out of it?"
"After the demonic path is eliminated, I may go to Qingzhou for a walk."
Speaking of this, Wan Xun's face showed a look of yearning.
"By the way, Brother Xu said he wanted to make a deal before, but I don't know what the specific content of the deal is?"
After the two reminisced about old times, Wanxun asked about the business.
Lin Chen did not hide anything and took out a batch of magic weapons and elixirs, the number of which was no less than a thousand.
After seeing this, Wan Xun was shocked again and said with a bitter smile:
"Brother Xu really has a mysterious origin...these magic weapons and elixirs are all things I have longed for in Beiwang City!"
"Brother Xu, if possible, I can trade with you now. This batch of magic weapons is of great value to me in Beiwang City!"
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this and said:
"Brother Wan, how many magic weapons do you think the entire Beiwang City needs? As long as I can put forward my needs, I should be able to meet them..."
After hearing this, Wan Xun pondered for a moment and said:
"The number of monks in Beiwang City is no less than fifteen thousand, and the demand for magic weapons is at least five thousand..."
"Can Brother Xu really produce this amount?"
Lin Chen chuckled and did not answer, but just handed over a storage ring.
Wanxun's spiritual consciousness penetrated the storage ring, and then the corners of his eyes twitched several times.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"Well, it seems that I still underestimated Brother Xu... In that case, let's talk about the transaction in detail?"
