Chapter 16: Night-Shining Pearl

Jiang Ding walked into the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Before he had time to look around, he saw a well-dressed, delicate, and lovely maid come up.

"Young Master Jiang, welcome to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Please go to the second floor; the manager will be here soon." The maid said in a crisp voice while leading the way.

Jiang Ding was stunned: "You know me?"

The maid covered her mouth and chuckled: "Young Master, Manager Long has repeatedly instructed that as soon as you come to the door, he must be called to welcome you. We maids have long remembered."

In the elegant compartment on the second floor, a cup of fragrant tea had already been prepared. Jiang Ding sat down, gently stroking the sword hilt, not knowing what he was thinking.

The maid stood by prettily.

Before long, the sound of rapid footsteps came from near to far.

Light, soft light.

【Novel first published on..., please go to... to read!】

Jiang Ding asked curiously: "Are there no hundred-year-old medicines?"

As soon as he entered the door, Long San was overjoyed: "I have long wanted to visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing your cultivation. Today, I finally see you again."

As for the question of whether his conscience hurts when selling a ten-dollar glowing pearl as a treasure? Of course, it doesn't hurt.

"Good."

However, even so, the feeling of being respected is not bad.

"Speak freely."

"Sell." Jiang Ding said concisely.

Long San was overjoyed. If he completed this order, his performance for the year would be stable.

Even though she had seen many treasures, the maid on the side still couldn't control her exclamation.

I saw that in the gift box, a thumb-sized East Pearl bloomed with countless rays of light, clearly visible even in the daytime.

Long San sighed: "Sigh, I have no face to face you, Young Master. I will do as you say."

If it is a non-spiritual environment, even if it grows for a hundred years, it is just a wooden piece of wood, useless.

"A small attendant of mine introduced a manager to you a few days ago? It was originally quite good. Manager Huang does things well, but I am new here and have to install some confidants to control the situation. Therefore, I introduced him to you through Huang Gui, thinking of helping him out..."

"Young Master, please look." Long San didn't talk nonsense and carefully opened the last wooden box: "After appraisal by a famous doctor in the prefecture city, this ninety-eight-year-old mountain ginseng was purchased by our building at a great price from the capital. It is only two years away from being a hundred-year-old medicine."

Long San was not surprised. Most martial arts people don't just like gold and silver.

Jiang Ding was thoughtful. It seems that in this low-martial environment with supernatural powers, glowing pearls are still very precious, but they are not rare in the world. Perhaps some spiritual materials born occasionally have them.

"The quality is very good."

"How much is he involved?"

"This is a matter of the foundation of the power; I haven't seen it either."

Since the "Fledgling Eagle Taking Flight Sword Art" broke through to minor accomplishment, he has not dared to practice with all his strength, lest the loss of qi and blood cause hidden injuries to his body, and can only maintain it at the proficiency level.

Long San had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"This night-shining pearl is of average size, but its brightness far exceeds others, and it can be called a rare treasure. Do you really want to sell it, Young Master?" Long San asked solemnly.

"Ah"

"But I don't just want money." Jiang Ding said lightly: "I need old medicines with years, preferably mountain ginseng."

Embezzlement is also an internal matter of the chamber of commerce, and the government may not necessarily care.

"I didn't want to, but yesterday when I inspected the warehouse, I discovered a major case of embezzling the chamber of commerce's property. Many managers were involved, and they colluded with outsiders. Such people with bad character may cause trouble."

"The accounts must be recovered, and I also dislike such people. In addition, I still have use for this person, so please don't use private lynching, Manager. Let it end here."

The value of things varies from person to person. Value is divided into labor value and commodity value. Moreover, even if it is not worth much, adding the long shipping cost between the two worlds, it is very reasonable to sell it at a high price.

Soon, more than twenty red wooden boxes were presented by the maids one by one.

Huang Deyou is now in charge of specimen collection and has now built channels and is doing well. If he is replaced, it will delay the progress of specimen collection.

"I came here this time mainly because I have no money, specifically to sell goods to you, Manager." Jiang Ding took out a palm-sized gift box and handed it forward.

"Someone, bring all the mountain ginseng over forty years old." He turned his head and said: "Young Master is straightforward, and Long San won't say much. I will definitely give you the most favorable price." Long San's face became serious, and he took the gift box. The touch was delicate and soft, and it seemed to be made of some precious fur. The gift box alone was not cheap.

After verifying one by one and confirming there was no mistake, Jiang Ding looked up: "Manager, just bring the one with the highest years. Although this thousand taels is a lot, it can't buy much."

Not a lot.

Jiang Ding's eyes flashed.

"There isn't much. Huang Deyou is the least greedy among them." Long San waved his hands repeatedly: "It's only twenty-plus taels of silver. The money is not much, but the nature is too hateful. I hate this kind of dog thing that eats inside and out the most!"

"Close the window." Long San could still maintain composure and said in a deep voice.

"Young Master is joking."

Long San shook his head: "Hundred-year-old medicine is already the world's top medicine, and its efficacy is incomparable to others. It has some effect of breaking through realms. Occasional transactions are also transactions between masters of large families and large gang powers, and will not flow into the market."

Jiang Ding said regretfully: "So that's how it is."

Closing the window, the faint white light shone throughout the room. It was slightly dim, dimmer than a candle, but it was enough to see the words on the book clearly.

"Price it at..." Long San pondered for a long time, then stood up and paced back and forth several times: "How about one thousand taels? This is the highest price of our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce for non-cultivation goods."

The two exchanged pleasantries and sat down.

The tone was a bit regretful.

If it were a poor family, this money would be enough for them to live for more than ten years.

Long San praised.

!.

"Young Master Jiang, I failed to welcome you from afar, I hope you will forgive me!"

Long San took out a white cloth and gently wiped the pearl. It was as bright as new. Next was a magnifying glass, some kind of medicinal powder, etc., and all kinds of identification methods were used.

Open it.

The cultivation speed is faster than before, but it cannot reach the level of rapidly approaching the Internal Qi Realm.

"There is one thing... I really feel sorry for you, Young Master, and I dare not hide it."

Jiang Ding's eyes narrowed.

"I will definitely not let you suffer a loss, Young Master."

Huang Deyou, this dog thing, has good life, otherwise he would have broken his two legs himself.

Long San opened a square box: "Young Master, please look. This is a forty-year-old mountain ginseng, priced at one hundred and twenty taels. You can just give one hundred taels."

Young, good-looking, polite to others, and so strong, not to mention that he has learned miscellaneous studies so deeply. If he wasn't cultivated by a high-gate sect, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Even the Long clan's money dares to be embezzled; he is tired of living.

"Manager Long is too polite." Jiang Ding stood up and bowed slightly.

"Young Master is straightforward!"

The so-called years of large medicine actually refer to the amount of pure spiritual power accumulated in the medicine. It is only born in a spiritual environment. A hundred years is a hurdle; if it doesn't succeed, it will rot.

Jiang Ding took the wooden box and carefully identified it according to the content taught in biology class. The technique was very professional, and he had practiced it many times in the laboratory in the past.

Jiang Ding thought for a moment.

"Young Master is an expert!"

Internal Qi Realm martial artists can already make their footsteps silent without affecting their speed, so this seems a bit deliberate.

"This item is priced at one thousand two hundred taels."

Long San said: "If you want it, Young Master, nine hundred and forty taels is enough, and a silver token of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will be attached, which can get a 95% discount at any Four Seas Chamber of Commerce."

"Just like that."

Jiang Ding nodded, knowing this was not expensive.
