Chapter 1214: Chapter 1208: You Need to Pay Extra
"No matter the price, you na it, as long as our Yanwu Dynasty can afford it, I won’t hesitate!" Wu Taiji gritted his teeth and said. It was clear that he really needed this Life Fruit.
"Nine Swords, what’s the price of this thing?" Zhang nglong quietly asked. He really didn’t know the price of this thing, and to this day, Zhang nglong still didn’t know what the hard currency on Haotian Avenue was.
"This... I have been away for tens of thousands of years, this historical change might not be the sa as my ti," Nine Swords Venerable said, "Is the current circulating currency still the Martial Crystal?"
"Yes." Another martial artist who had been in the Undead Forbidden Zone for only a few hundred years said.
"I rember I once participated in an auction at the Haotian Auction House back in the day when a Life Flower and 10 Life Leaves were auctioned off. At that ti, the Life Flower’s sale price was 2 million Martial Crystals, and as for the Life Leaves, each was priced at 50,000 Martial Crystals," Nine Swords Venerable said.
"But now it’s much more than that," the other martial artist said, "I encountered an auction of Life Leaves 400 years ago, and the price had reached 120,000 Martial Crystals then."
"Wow," Zhang nglong was also a little taken aback. He rembered when he was in the Sacred Gold Dynasty, Qi Xiu had told him that even if they dug the whole Sacred Gold Dynasty to bedrock, they couldn’t find even 10 Crystals, and with 100 Martial Crystals, one could buy their entire second-grade dynasty.
Counting each level dynasty with a tenfold gap, a million Martial Crystals equates to the entire value of a Level Six dynasty!
But this huge Martial Crystal body, even if you sell a Level Six dynasty, you might not be able to co up with it; a Level Seven dynasty might scrape together 1 million Martial Crystals by selling everything.
To easily co up with 1 million Martial Crystals, you need at least an Eighth Grade dynasty!
This shows just to what extent the value of these life-representing plants has reached.
"So what’s the price of the Life Fruit? Does anyone know?" Zhang nglong asked.
"Sect Master, such heavenly treasures, unless absolutely necessary, would anyone sell them?" Nine Swords Venerable countered.
Besides Zhang nglong, so far, no one has managed to leave the Life Forbidden Zone alive with a Life Fruit, and the storms in the Life Forbidden Zone can blow out a few leaves, which is already quite good, blowing out a Life Flower is an extrely rare event.
It is estimated that from ancient tis to the present, the storms of the Life Forbidden Zone have not blown out many Life Fruits, and even if there were, it is estimated they were quietly consud in private or sold through very secret channels, with no market price at all.
But based on the value ratio of Life Leaves and Life Flowers, a rough estimate can be made.
As for why the value difference between the two is not five tis but forty tis, it is actually quite easy to understand.
Because 10 years of life and 50 years of life are not the sa concept at all. Even an increase of 10 years, or even 1 year, could change a person’s destiny.
If we follow this ratio, in Nine Swords Venerable’s era, a Life Fruit would be priced at about 10 million Martial Crystals.
And now, asking for 20 million Martial Crystals is not unreasonable, right?
"I won’t overcharge you; 20 million Martial Crystals per piece, fair to all, how about it?" Zhang nglong roughly calculated in his mind and directly offered his price.
"Hiss!"
Everyone was nearly astonished at this price, 20 million Martial Crystals—apart from peak forces above Ninth Grade, nobody could afford it, and even if they did, it would enormously drain their vitality.
As for the people of the Sun Heaven Sect, they were overjoyed internally, 20 pieces ant 400 million Martial Crystals, even Nine Swords Venerable did not have so many Martial Crystals back when he was on the Haotian Continent, joining the Sun Heaven Sect like directly gaining 400 million Martial Crystals, the happiness shot through the roof!
"20 million Martial Crystals." Wu Taiji’s mouth twitched slightly, though this number was astronomical, truth be told, it wasn’t expensive, even quite reasonable.
If he hadn’t witnessed Zhang nglong enter and pick the fruit, coming out in just 40 minutes, spending half an hour in between defecating, then proudly claiming that he risked his life, he would have almost believed it!
But even knowing Zhang nglong was ripping him off, what could he do? Supply and demand determine the price of a product. The Life Fruit is definitely a priceless market item, and only Zhang nglong is capable of providing a stable supply, monopolizing the business!
Don’t want it? No problem. Whether you live or die isn’t his concern; many people are desperately seeking it, not lacking in buyers!
If it weren’t for the people around Zhang nglong, he would definitely have contemplated controlling Zhang nglong, but he had heard of Nine Swords Venerable’s fa, and Ying Wuxian could take on ten of him; he really wasn’t that bold.
"How many Martial Crystals do our Royal Family have?" Wu Taiji asked a younger mber beside him.
"Grandfather, our treasury still has 32 million Martial Crystals, and if we combine all the private properties of the Royal Family mbers, we could probably scrape together another 10 million. If we sell so assets..."
"No ti!" Wu Taiji said, "Sect Master Zhang, I am willing to offer 40 million Martial Crystals to buy 2 Life Fruits from you!"
"Wow, so rich?" Zhang nglong didn’t expect this old man to be so wealthy.
"Sect Master Zhang, our Taiji Hall is willing to offer 60 million Martial Crystals for 2!"
"Sect Master Zhang, our Danchin Tower wants 7!"
"Sect Master Zhang, our Soul Hall wants 9!"
"Wow! Truly, Danchin Tower and Soul Hall are financially formidable!"
"Yes, one deals in alchemy, the other in refining energy, who knows how much wealth they’ve accumulated over the years; this ti, they’ve revealed all their resources."
"Hahaha, alright, as long as you pay, everyone will get their share!" Zhang nglong accepted everyone, after all, they were bringing money, and there was no reason to refuse.
"Sigh!" So smaller forces sighed, unable to match these large factions, unable to afford such sums.
"No way! A fool doesn’t make money!" Zhang nglong thought for a mont; these smaller forces couldn’t co up with tens of millions, but they could manage hundreds of thousands or millions, right?
If high-end products can’t sell, why not sell low-end products?
Zhang nglong quickly took out a huge display and placed it on the side, directly showcasing a row of price lists.
Life Fruit: Retail 20 million Martial Crystals
Group Purchase Price: 18.88 million Martial Crystals (10 pieces minimum purchase)
Life Flower: Retail Price (6 million Martial Crystals)
Group Purchase Price: 5.66 million Martial Crystals (50 flowers minimum purchase)
Life Leaf: Retail Price 150,000 Martial Crystals
Group Purchase Price: 138.88 million Martial Crystals (100 leaves minimum purchase)
Life Grass: 10,000 Martial Crystals
Group Purchase Price: 8,888 Martial Crystals (500 stalks minimum purchase)
"Group buying has discounts?"
"So if we pool together, it will be cheaper?"
"This saves a lot of money; we can afford more Life Fruits!"
Under Zhang nglong’s marketing, the scene instantly turned bustling.
"You go register and collect money!" Zhang nglong waved his hand, and those once-powerful top-level figures imdiately beca sales advisors.
"Sect Master Zhang, can we also get two Life Fruits?" An old man ca up obsequiously.
"Sect Master, this is the Holy Lord of Vajra Holy Land." Soone imdiately whispered in his ear.
"Oh, Vajra Holy Land? Sure, I do business with everyone."
Before the Holy Lord could even smile, Zhang nglong added, "But you’ll need to pay extra!"
