Chapter 742: Wish Granted
In the past, when collecting Heavenly Water Morning Dew in the Huaihe Great Marsh, observing the phenomenon, refining the true Qi, a boat ticket for a Hunting Tiger was thirty thousand, but Wei Lin was treated differently, sold for fifty thousand.
It seems that of the fifty thousand, twenty thousand were paid by the commanders of the Demon-Hunting Division and the Three Dharma Departments, with both sides not offending either.
Most crucially.
Liang Qu and Xu Xu Yuelong split it three-seven, and he only earned fifteen thousand in total!
In the blink of an eye, it's more than six times that!
One hundred thousand taels of silver is not worth mentioning compared to Long Breath trading; it's just a sweetener, but he is most short of money right now!
Wei Lin's unyielding personality is troublesome to deal with on weekdays, but when used in negotiations, it will occupy an absolute dominant position; he would definitely be good as a wall-facer.
"No money."
Liang Qu is unexpectedly straightforward.
Hmm...
The venue is silent.
Lan Lan Jicai is puzzled.
The reason why Long Breath needs a medium for eating Qi is to use a "medicine guide" to improve compatibility, in order to seek a success rate.
Different compatibility has a chance of failure.
Therefore, from the perspective of applicability, Size Ruyi Long Breath, which has weak five-element attributes and almost none, has a higher probability of suitable compatibility, and the market heat is definitely higher than Sun Flame. And in terms of performance, size, weight, and length, it is very favorable for assisting weapons and hiding secret weapons, plus a rare luck increase, making it more favored.
Conversely, fire attributes are quite picky, in a sense even pickier than the thunder containing vitality.
Compared to Sun Flame, Size Ruyi selling for half a portion of great medicine more is not strange.
Eight great merits plus one hundred thousand taels of silver, the business is definitely profitable; if it weren't Wei Lin, if someone else came, who would do this loss-making business? Why not agree?
Even if he was willing to part with the Sun Flower, mere one hundred thousand silver...
Before Wei Lin could take Size Ruyi and leave, Liang Qu reaches into his bosom, pulls out a stack of silver banknotes, and counts them in front of everyone, placing them on the table.
"Commander, five thousand five hundred taels, all my family assets."
After speaking.
Liang Qu reaches into his trouser pocket again, grabbing a handful of broken silver of various sizes and dozens of copper coins, which clatter onto the table.
"Born in poverty, I always like to carry money on me. These should count as thirty-four taels. Oh, I haven't collected my July salary, there should be another thousand or so, barely making seven thousand. My master doesn't have much money either; when he broke through to Grandmaster, he borrowed quite a few 'loans' from the imperial court and General Xu, and he already owed debts that haven't been paid back, so I can't get it."
Everyone feels incredible.
The youngest Hunting Tiger Great Martial Artist of this dynasty is actually so shabby?
Lan Lan Jicai looks suspicious: "You don't eat, drink, whore, or gamble; your monthly salary is over a thousand, where did the money you earned on weekdays go?"
"All exchanged for cultivation resources; at the beginning of the year, I just auctioned Dragon Whiskers in the Imperial Capital."
"Don't you have Shark Silk?"
Damn!
Whose side are you on, sir?
Was the Imperial Capital Shark Silk given for free?
Liang Qu grumbles, explaining: "I didn't take the dividends; most of it was left to the Shark People, and a small part was left to the senior brother's martial arts hall. A few days ago, my second senior brother borrowed it to break through to Hunting Tiger, and he shouldn't be able to pay it back in a short time."
Wei Lin: "..."
Yang Yang Weizhi: "..."
Director Lu: "..."
"One hundred thousand taels, it's definitely easy to borrow. Even if I open my mouth now, Director Lu would definitely be willing."
Liang Qu looks up.
Director Lu cannot help but nod.
Borrowing one hundred thousand taels is not a matter at all.
"But I don't like owing debts. If I owe someone something, I always feel uncomfortable and uneasy in my heart. I think about it when eating, think about it when drinking, think about it when sleeping, and even have to mutter a few words when going to the latrine. I think Commander Wei is the same kind of person."
Wei Lin is silent.
Liang Qu is really right.
Stubborn and proud.
People with such a personality dislike owing others the most.
Of course, at their level, there must be people rushing to send money, but if they are not teachers, fathers, relatives, friends, lovers, or acquaintances, the so-called sending is still "borrowing," which is even more troublesome than the money itself.
Sincerity is the best killer move.
Causing resonance is even more so.
Water incense curls.
Lan Lan Jicai's gaze jumps from Wei Lin to Liang Qu, and then jumps back from Liang Qu.
"Twenty thousand. Eat a bowl of noodles, pay for a bowl. Others pay thirty thousand, I also pay thirty thousand."
Others didn't understand, but Liang Qu understood.
Bright!
Wei Lin takes the fire crystal box and the five thousand taels of silver: "The missing fifteen thousand will be deducted from your salary. When it's paid off, it will be issued again."
Deal!
Just a year or two of salary.
A small matter!
Lan Lan Jicai is stunned, feeling that the two are talking in riddles in broad daylight.
In a few words, he cut off eighty thousand?
Director Lu sends Wei Lin and Yang Yang Weizhi out the door.
Liang Qu reaches out and scoops up the broken silver and the remaining five hundred taels of silver banknotes, putting them in his pocket.
Lan Lan Jicai sits to the side: "You don't even dislike these scraps."
"Why would I dislike them?" Liang Qu weighs the copper coins in his hand. "Doesn't Master Lan know? I was a fisherman; I can bargain for half a day when buying pork belly. How could I have so many stinky problems? Speaking of which, why did you dismantle my stage for no reason, Master Lan?"
"Wasn't it to increase your credibility? I even helped you. Besides the Sun Flower, there is another common fire-attribute medium, Yin-Yang Pill. That thing needs ten great merits, and the success rate is higher. I didn't mention the Sun Flower, and he would definitely want the Yin-Yang Pill. Now I saved you two great merits, didn't I earn you an extra portion? Isn't it beautiful?"
There's something better?
Liang Qu is confused: "Won't it cause problems?"
"Rest assured, Yin-Yang Pill is a recognized fire-attribute medium. He definitely knows it, but that's all; there are no other benefits.
The Red Demon Peng wants to turn into a Three-Legged Golden Crow, refining true Qi with fire, reshaping the Dharma image. Although the success rate is a bit low, only twenty-five percent, and it's a bit painful, no less than flesh and blood recasting.
But according to his personality, would he not choose it? I pointed out a feasible path for him, breaking the cocoon and turning into a butterfly, saving you two great merits and earning you an extra portion, isn't it beautiful?"
Liang Qu forces a smile: "Many thanks, Master Lan."
"Don't thank me, show some expression." Master Lan rubs his three fingers.
"No money."
"Who wants your money? You have other good things."
Liang Qu is stunned for a moment, and immediately reacts.
He asks the waiter for pen, ink, paper, and red mud, stamps a name with the seal gifted by Xu Xu Rongguang, writes a line of small characters, and hands it to Lan Lan Jicai.
"There is also a Shark Silk shop of the Xu family in Pingyang Heavenly Boat Building. Master Lan, take the paper and say I introduced you..."
"A child can be taught. Fine, I won't disturb your fun." Master Lan takes the letter paper, walks to the door, and looks back. "Do you want me to help you calculate the medium for Size Ruyi?"
"I have a way."
"As you wish!"
Watching Lan Lan Jicai leave.
Liang Qu's eyes flicker, and he can't wait to grab the jade box on the table.
Pulling it open.
Faint golden light circulates.
Compared to the golden 【Sun】, the gold of 【Size Ruyi】 is more restrained, like a simple thin golden thread.
Wish granted!
Beautiful.
No need to expand the pond at home anymore!
According to the Sea Workshop Master, 【Size Ruyi】 only appears once every few decades; it is too rare. Size, weight, length—even if it's not true Size Ruyi, such a mechanism is hard to come by!
Good treasure.
He longs for Size Ruyi, on one hand, to integrate into Life-Giving Creation, and on the other hand, A-Fei and the others are growing bigger and bigger.
"Cannot Move" is a lesson from the past.
Becoming a great spirit monster, a pond of more than five acres can barely accommodate it, and it doesn't look strange at home.
Once it becomes a demon, except for the little Mirage Dragon and A-Wei, even if the pond is rebuilt three times and expanded to fifteen acres, it still looks crowded.
But building it to several dozen acres, adjacent to the Huaihe, a pond of such size combined with a residence of three acres, top-heavy, destroys the aesthetics too much.
Not letting the water beasts in, the house lacks a bit of liveliness and a bit of convenience.
Closing the lid of the jade box.
Liang Qu stuffs it into his bosom.
Go home!
