Chapter 41

"This time, one reason is naturally that I heard our Dongling has produced another outstanding talent..."

Ding Feng smiled and exchanged pleasantries, but saw the youth opposite him with his hand on the sword hilt and his eyes slightly closed, as if he had already entered a dream, and immediately knew that the other party did not like these words.

He hurriedly changed the subject.

"I heard that you made a deal with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce; I wonder what the price was?"

Ding Feng probed: "It is not that I, old Ding, am boasting; whether it is the goods, the price, or the delivery speed, my Jin Long Chamber of Commerce exceeds them by quite a bit, and I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

"You can go out and ask around; the price old Ding gives to friends is definitely not a fraction lower than others."

Jiang Ding smiled: "What wind has Shopkeeper Ding heard?"

In his heart, however, there was some gloom.

Treasures like breakthrough pills had indeed attracted the covetous eyes of native forces.

"It seems to be a breakthrough pill?"

Ding Feng probed: "I know Long San; he is also an old friend. For so many years, he has been at the Minor Accomplishment of internal qi with no way forward; how did he suddenly break through after coming to you? There must be a great opportunity."

"Plus the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's actions are too big and they have conceded too much profit; it is hard not to make people speculate."

"Young Master Jiang."

He said solemnly: "No matter how much the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce offers, or what they offer, my Jin Long Chamber of Commerce is willing to offer double the price!"

Jiang Ding did not speak.

He was currently very satisfied with the work of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce; they could send more than ten thousand pairs of Blue Fluorescence Butterflies every day, and relying on the great mountain-opening, the collection speed of specimens had also increased significantly. The cooperation between the two sides had been quite pleasant so far.

As for double the price, it was even more ridiculous.

The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is a large chamber of commerce for the entire Yue Kingdom, and it is only in a disadvantaged position in Dongling Mansion; besides some gold and silver, what qualifications does the Jin Long Chamber of Commerce have to say double the price for anything?

No matter how much gold and silver there is, besides being able to exchange for some mortal currency of unexplainable origin, what is the use?

"My elders taught me that integrity must not be lost."

Jiang Ding picked up the teacup: "And the Void-Breaking Pill given by my elders has already been promised to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce; Shopkeeper Ding, please return."

Actually, it would be fine to give the other party one or two as appeasement; he didn't mind having more Blue Fluorescence Butterflies.

It was just that he had already revealed enough; it would be fine if it were just one family, but if it were two, would this make people guess that he had a large number of breakthrough pills?

Even if there was only a glimmer of possibility, this was enough to make people crazy and attract endless jackals.

Ding Feng's face looked ugly.

However, he did not doubt the authenticity of the elders the other party spoke of; how precious are internal qi breakthrough pills, and how high is the difficulty of refining them? They have always been refined only by a very small number of forces such as the three sects and the royal family.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, impossible.

"If you change your mind, you can send someone to notify me, old Ding."

Ding Feng cupped his hands reluctantly and took his leave.

Jiang Ding put down the teacup.

"Manager Huang!"

"Proprietor..."

Huang De trotted over, his face uneasy.

He knew Jiang Ding's emphasis on specimens, but the head of the famous Jin Long Chamber of Commerce had come, so how could he dare to stop him?

"Clean this up and reopen as soon as possible." Jiang Ding said indifferently: "Apologize properly to our old customers; the purchase price will be doubled today."

He paused, pointing at the brocade cloth on the eight-immortal table and other items.

"Sell all of these and donate the money to the widowers, widows, orphans, and the lonely in the city."

"Yes, Proprietor!"

Not long after, Long San arrived in a hurry, escorting two carts of Blue Fluorescence Butterflies.

"Young Master Jiang, that Ding Feng of the Jin Long Chamber of Commerce..." Long San stopped mid-sentence.

"Shopkeeper Long, our cooperation will not be shaken." Jiang Ding waved his hand: "It's just that I need Blue Fluorescence Butterflies, in sufficient quantity and at the accurate time; this cannot have any problems, do you understand?"

"I understand."

Long San said solemnly: "Young Master, rest assured; my great-uncle, Long Zhengwu, is at the Perfection of internal qi and is currently stationed at Dongling Mountain. From now on, he will gather multiple horse carts of Blue Fluorescence Butterflies together and lead the elites of the chamber to escort them personally."

"In addition, our chamber has good relations with all major forces in the city; when necessary, we will use money to pave the way, and they can also help out a little."

"The Jin Long Chamber of Commerce cannot turn the sky!"

Jiang Ding nodded: "As long as you are sure."

After speaking, after checking the goods, he took out a jade-green jade bottle and handed it to Long San; this was the second one, meaning that thirty thousand pairs of Blue Fluorescence Butterflies had already been purchased.

"Young Master is generous."

Long San showed joy and hurriedly took his leave; he had to step up arrangements to avoid any omissions.

Jiang Ding practiced for a while, then used a specimen silk net to pack the Blue Fluorescence Butterflies, then shouldered the pile of specimen boxes that had already been exchanged, and his figure disappeared.

Waiting in the room for a while.

Chirp!

A kingfisher lifted its invisibility and flew in from the window, followed by a second, slightly smaller one.

They didn't talk nonsense, skillfully picked up the Blue Fluorescence Butterflies and specimens in the silk net, cast spells to shrink them, turned invisible, and flapped their wings to fly away.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged on the bed to practice; more than an hour later, his mobile phone vibrated from time to time.

【Library Points: 9542】

【Library Points: 9580】

The points rose rapidly, and soon, they crossed the threshold and reached it.

"Ten thousand points."

Jiang Ding was excited in his heart, then slowly calmed down, continuing to practice, warming and tempering the tiny branch meridians of the twelve main meridians, until two o'clock in the morning when he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when the bell rang for the end of class, Jiang Ding ran out of school in a flash and took the bus to the library.

Smelling the fragrance of books at the tip of his nose, Jiang Ding went alone to the separate reading room, logged into his Immortal Sect library account, and checked his library points.

"Array Spirit, I want to deduce the 'Great Sun Sword Scripture—Sword Planting and Sword Refining Method,' deduction direction, adapted to my own cultivation direction." Ding said in a deep voice.

"Do you want to consume ten thousand library points to deduce the 'Great Sun Sword Scripture—Sword Planting and Sword Refining Method'?"

The unique mechanical voice of the Array Spirit sounded.

"Confirm."

The computer in the reading room projected a blue light to carefully scan Jiang Ding's entire body, obtaining data on his meridians, muscles, bones, etc., and then mobilized the database, retrieving all his experiences since enrolling in cultivation, academic performance, areas of expertise, hobbies, etc.

"Deducing, estimated time required: 3:34:23."

What is being mobilized now is only the Rongcheng Array Spirit computer, which cannot finish the deduction instantly.

Jiang Ding was not in a hurry either; he sat cross-legged to practice, quietly waiting for the moment the deduction was completed.

More than three hours later.

Ding!

Jiang Ding opened his eyes and found that the deduction progress on the computer screen had been completed; it showed a picture of a dark blue thread-bound book, the title—

"Great Sun Sword Scripture—Sword Planting and Sword Refining Method (Jiang Ding Edition)."

"Ding! You have contributed a new book to the Immortal Sect Library, rewarding 124 library points."

This is an unchangeable program; no matter what knowledge it is, it belongs to the collective of the Immortal Sect.

Jiang Ding's face looked awkward: "Rename it, use the 21st edition."

He was just taking a shortcut and didn't dare to use this kind of name.

"Noun repeated, cannot be used."

Jiang Ding was stunned and immediately understood; ten thousand library points are a lot, but many children of big families are not short of them, and even niche techniques like the sword refining method have people doing adaptive deductions.

"Random, do not use the original name."

"Yes, the new knowledge you contributed to the Immortal Sect Library is 'Great Sun Sword Scripture—Sword Planting and Sword Refining Method (41st Edition)'"
