Chapter 30

He explained the whole matter.

Su Xiao: "That's already incredibly impressive! The people here would gladly spend 1.2 billion to buy a single Evil-Slaying Sword and not feel cheated!"

Zhang Taixuan: "If that's the case, then send me a few tons of steel as a red packet, and I'll forge you a batch."

Su Xiao: "Thank you. 【Kowtow】 Also, I'd like that elixir too."

Zhang Taixuan: "I don't have any elixirs right now. The dew in my spiritual herb garden only yields twenty pills per day."

Su Xiao: "Alright."

He exited the chat group and recounted the entire matter exactly as it happened.

The conference room.

Su Zhangchen clapped his hands and said: "My daughter says that immortal only makes elixirs as a hobby—only twenty pills per day. Would you all like to cancel your orders?"

"Cancel what? No need—we'll just wait in line!"

The elixir is available nowhere else.

If you don't buy the elixir, do you expect them to cultivate on their own?

As merchants, they understood the value of efficiency far too well to willingly undertake such laborious and unprofitable tasks.

Problems solvable with money are best solved with money.

"Besides that, General Zhao, I also need a hundred tons of steel. The Evil-Slaying Sword was merely an idle creation of that immortal—only six remain. Everyone wants twenty, but the immortal is still forging."

Upon hearing this, General Zhao beamed: "Might we be granted an audience with the immortal?"

Su Zhangchen shook his head: "Don't even think about it—not even my daughter has ever seen the immortal's face. Enough. Go home and prepare; then come to my house to collect your items."

The meeting ended, and everyone hurried off.

In an instant, the winds of Suzhou stirred and surged.

Even the state joined in the action.

That same day.

In the capital, a meeting was convened; upon its conclusion, several high-ranking officials boarded a special aircraft bound for Suzhou, accompanied by dozens of cargo planes.

According to insiders, the cargo planes were filled entirely with extremely pure gold.

Meanwhile, the state's upper echelons planned to purchase gold from other nations, offering prices no country could refuse.

The Su family.

In the evening.

Many powerful figures gathered together, their eyes blazing with eagerness.

"Here are the elixirs—only fifteen pills today; tomorrow, there should be another dozen or so."

"Here are the Evil-Slaying Swords—feel free to examine them."

One merchant stepped forward, gripped the Evil-Slaying Sword, and lightly plunged it into the ground. Instantly, the blade sank effortlessly to the hilt, slicing through concrete as smoothly as through tofu.

"A divine sword. Twelve hundred million—worth every penny."

Su Zhangchen smiled: "Sharpness is secondary. What matters most is that this weapon harms demons, monsters, and evil spirits."

After a long day of frantic activity, all the merchants' and the state's orders were finally fulfilled.

In a single day, Su Zhangchen handled gold worth over seven hundred billion.

The chat group.

Su Xiao: "Sent it! My points have surpassed three hundred thousand—doing business with the state is incredibly profitable."

Yotsuya Miko: 【Envious】 How long will it take me to accumulate this much gold?

Huang Rong: "Decided—I'm robbing the treasuries of the Jin and Song kingdoms. No time to waste!"

Lin Fengjiao: "Terrifying. Do states and merchants in Su Xiao's world really have that much wealth?"

Zhang Taixuan: "What else would you expect? In modern society, the world's richest have trillions in assets—converted to gold, that's tens of thousands of points. Of course, acquiring that much gold with paper money is nearly impossible."

Yue Buqun: "Tears of poverty stream down my face—even if I plundered the entire Wu Lin, I still couldn't gather this many points."

Su Xiao: "Hehe, Mr. Yue could partner with the Emperor. In this era, the Ming Dynasty is still incredibly wealthy. If possible, you could even launch the Age of Exploration and plunder the West and the Land of the Rising Sun."

Yotsuya Miko: "6, the Japanese are trembling!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Brilliant idea—this is far better than plundering martial arts manuals."
