Chapter 157 – Enormous Wealth
Bi Fan’s party walked past the noisy pedestrians, who were making a lot of noise with their chattering and giggling, while their shadows were flickering on the busy street.
The Tao Bao complex was located in the central district of the Jiu Yu City, and wasn’t very far away from the tournament’s venue.
Since the contest had already ended, most of the young disciples were moving towards the Tao Bao complex, under the guidance of their seniors, since they all wanted to experience this shopping area’s magnificence.
Along the way, Bi Fan saw several young disciples from various sects, but most of them weren’t looking very hospitable, and didn’t bother to smile back at him.
“Look, there’s a Ba Gua Sect group over there, and even Li Qian Xun is with them.” Ji Ying Lan pointed.
Jing Feng said: “Li Qian Xun is very powerful, and you must be very careful if you run into him. In fact, I’d say that you should even consider conceding the fight before it starts, since there’s a lot of hatred between our sects, and you must be aware of his heavy weapon….”
“Yes, the Quinyang Sect has a lot of hopes from you, and it’s very important that you grow strong someday. So, you need to look after yourself.” Yan Yu Si added to Jing Feng’s advice.
Directly conceding a fight is a very shameful thing, even when there’s threat to life. Even though killing other contestants is prohibited in the contest, but since the participants are allowed to use weapons, avoiding causalities can be a tough task sometimes.
Each round normally ends with some injuries, especially when hostile Sects are paired against each other, since they sometimes try their best to eliminate hostile competition.
Bi Fan party was looking at Li Qian Xun, and Li Qian Xun felt their gaze, which is why he turned around to look back at them.
Li Qian Xun exposed a withered smile, a very ugly one at that.
Then, without any further action, he continued to walk with the rest of the Ba Gua Sect group.
Jing Feng said: “This Li Qian Xun seems like a very mean guy, we must be cautious against him.”
“The Ba Gua Sect must have been training him in secrecy for a long time now.” Mo Nan sighed.
“Not necessarily though, he may have just come up recently like Brother Bi Fan, and could be a real genius as well. Whichever the case might be, he’s going to be a tough one to match up to.” Jing Feng analyzed.
“What are we afraid of? If the Ba Gua Sect has Li Qian Xun, then our Quinyang Sect has young Bi Fan, and young Bi Fan can easily beat Li Qian Xun.” Wang Yun Fei smiled.
They reached the Tao Bao complex very quickly, and Bi Fan was quite overawed to find himself standing in front of a ten storey building.
Lin Qing Yao said: “The Tao Bao complex’s first two floors are designed for selling your items, and for purchasing items pertaining to the ‘Fetus’ layer. If you want to enter the third floor, then you must be at least inside the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.”
“In other words, we can only buy items on the first two floors.” Bi Fan was a little disappointed. “I didn’t know that, what’s the best grade of weapons that we can buy on the first two floors?”
“The second floor has high grade weapons, and you can buy them there. The items which are on the second are usually in very high demand at the time of the Jiu Yu Lists, and we will not be able afford any of them….”
“We’ll just look around casually, buy if you fancy an item and you aren’t carrying enough spar at the moment, then you can call me, and I’ll buy it for you. We can always settle our accounts at a later time.” Yan Yu Si said with a smile.
“Thank you sister!” the outer disciples and the two girls were very happy.
Bi Fan said: “I don’t know where to sell the bodies of the Devil’s Abyss demons. I have a few of them, and I also want to sell some other items.”
“I’ll take you there; I also have some things that I want to sell.” Jing Feng said.
Yan Yu Si said: “We are going to the second floor, and you can join us over there later.”
The Tao Bao complex had a specialized staff for acquiring new items, and this department was separate from the sales department.
Once Jing Feng and Bi Fan entered the department, they were both received by different people, and were taken to different rooms.
The Tao Bao complex’s management did so in order to maintain confidentiality.
No matter who is selling the items, or what items are being sold, the Tao Bao Complex always helped their customers in maintaining confidentiality, even if they weren’t interested in the item.
“Dear guest, what would you like to sell?” Even though Bi Fan is quite young in age, the Tao Bao complex’s staff didn’t neglect him.
Bi Fan said: “I want to sell a lot of items. In addition to a large volume of Devil’s Abyss demon corpses, I also have a large number of weapons, out of which at least a dozen are good quality magic weapons.”
In order to avoid trouble, Wang Zhong, Lone Leaf, and Blue Dragon had all decided to give the weapons, which they had obtained from their plunders, to Bi Fan.
“So many!” the young woman who was responsible for managing the reception was quite shocked, and said: “I won’t be able to look after you, please wait a while.”
Bi Fan quietly waited in the room. The Tao Bao complex had a very elegant design and interiors, and had even placed some flower pots inside the rooms, since the fragrance of the flowers helped their customers in feeling more comfortable.
After a few minutes, the young girl returned with a slim middle-aged man, and then she turned around and left.
The middle aged man said: “I am the head of the acquisition department; you can call me Di Guan Shi.”
“Di Guan Shi, I have some items that I’d like to sell, can we arrange a trade here?” Bi Fan said.
“If you could please hand over the items to me, since I’d like to do a valuation first. Do not worry, I have a space ring, so I can accept as many items as you have, in one go.” Di Guan Shi stated.
Bi Fan took out one Yin Yang pouch and handed it over to Di Guan Shi, and said: “I have more Yin Yang pouches in my inventory.”
Di Guan Shi took the Yin Yang pouch, and started transferring the items to his space ring, while making a list of the items in the process.
Di Guan Shi was worthy of being called the head of such a large group’s acquisition department, since he was an extremely skilled business man. There was a large volume of corpses inside the Yin Yang pouch, but he was able to segregate them with ease, and was simultaneously calculating their worth as well.
Bi Fan recovered the Yin Yang pouch and handed over the second one.
Di Guan Shi was interested in buying the Yin Yang pouches as well, but Bi Fan didn’t wish to sell them.
He continued to do his work for almost two hours, but then Di Guan Shi’s space ring ran out of room. He was quite embarrassed since he had to leave in order to store the items in a separate location to make space inside the ring for more items.
Even though this was quite strange for the man, he still didn’t ask Bi Fan about the history of such a large volume of Devil’s Abyss corpses.
It took him more than one more hour before he was able to complete the assessment of all the items.
“Little Brother, are you sure that you don’t have anything else that you might want to sell?”
“Yes; I’d like to exchange these items for Spars, and I would prefer high grade spars.” Bi Fan said.
“Little Brother, you may not know this, since we don’t like to say it… but we don’t keep a very big stock of high-grade spar in the Tao Bao complex. But I will make sure that you get a priority on the exchange of high-grade spars, while the rest of the amount I’ll settle with low-grade spars. Is that okay with you?” Di Guan Shi’s attitude was very friendly and polite.
“No problem! But I have a small condition, that is, the magical weapons should not be sold outside the reach of the Jiu Yu City.” Bi Fan smiled.
In order to avoid trouble in the future, it was very important for Bi Fan to be careful with these things.
“Sure, no problem, we always try to meet the requirements of our customers.” Di Guan Shi quickly started calculating the total value of the items, but it took him almost ten minutes to do so, since there were a lot of items in the list.
“Little Brother, you can follow up the market price of these items, and you’ll only be able to obtain one million three hundred and nineteen thousand spars for them, but I’ll give you one point four million since you’re making such a large transaction.” Di Guan Shi stated.
“Deal!” Bi Fan was overjoyed.
Even though Bi Fan tried to control his emotions, he simply couldn’t stop his face from gleaming a radiant smile. He had never expected to make so much money from these items, and was quite surprised at the figure that Di Guan Shi had quoted.
Although one point four million spars wasn’t much when compared to the wealth of the powerful sects, but for an outer disciple like Bi Fan, it was certainly a lot of money, and this much money was also enough to buy to a top-grade weapon.
In order to avoid trouble in the future, Bi Fan even sold the book that spoke about the hammer usage skills.
He had already memorized the book’s contents, so it was no longer of any use to him.
Di Guan Shi left the room, and went to arrange the money.
Soon, Di Guan Shi returned to the room, smiled and said: “There’s a total of hundred top grade spars, while there more high grade spar in this Yin Yang pouch. The other Yin Yang pouch contains the rest, which are mostly low-grade spars. Please tally and transfer the spars to you pouch, my little friend.”
Bi Fan took the Yin Yang pouches, and checked their contest, and was very glad to know that they added up.
“Thank you Di Guan Shi, I’ll take my leave now. Good-bye!” Bi Fan said, and left the room.
