Chapter 196: Selling for Just One Billion!
"Give these things to him," Qin Feng handed a parcel to Little Six.
"What's this?"
"Breaking Martial Pill," said Qin Feng. "It's used to enhance cultivation, suitable for everyone from an ordinary Martial Arts Master up to an Inner Strength Disciple, then to a Martial Master, and Military General Level. Later you give them to Fei Long, and tell him to only sell to those who bow their heads in submission to him. As for the price... what's the market rate on the black market?"
"There's no such Elixir on the black market."
Little Six said, "There are similar Spiritual Treasures that can help with breaking through in cultivation, but they're not primarily geared towards breakthroughs. It's usually that the aura contained within the Elixirs or Spiritual Treasures might benefit someone's cultivation, so they buy them to assist in training."
"I see."
Qin Feng remembered the Poisonous Insect King Bai Ghost and Dragon Slayer Taoist from the Southwest, one seeking Dragon Crystal Stones, the other seeking the blood of Lan Xin, both investing a lot of energy for these pursuits.
Of course, their desires to become Grandmasters played a part, but this also indirectly showed that such Elixirs seemed to be non-existent on the market.
"So, what do you think would be an appropriate price?"
Qin Feng asked.
Little Six dared not carelessly speculate and thought for a moment before saying, "For an ordinary Martial Arts Master looking to become an Inner Strength Disciple, it could probably sell for two million."
"Two million?"
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, "Just to become an Inner Strength Disciple, it can sell for that much?"
Originally, Fang Wudi had spent hundreds of millions in resources to become a high-level practitioner of Inner Strength, due to his innate poor physical condition and his obsession with Martial Arts.
But for common Martial Arts Masters wanting to become high-level Inner Strength practitioners, diligent practice would suffice.
"Mr. Qin, this thing is really in high demand."
Little Six said with a grimace, "Normally, it takes us several years to cultivate Inner Strength, but after becoming an Inner Strength Martial Disciple, one's value greatly increases, and they can become core members of some smaller forces. For example, the Four Heavenly Kings of Tiger Sect may look impressive, but they are only high-level Inner Strength practitioners, yet they can make a few million a year."
"I see."
Qin Feng had a sudden realization.
So the First-grade Breaking Martial Pills he had refined in the past two days, amounting to over 200, were worth how much money then?
"And the Second Grade Elixir for advancing from Martial Arts Apprentice to Military General Level?" Qin Feng asked again.
"What?!"
Little Six was taken aback, his eyes wide, "There's a pill for that too?!"
"Yep."
Qin Feng nodded.
Just to become a lowly Martial Master, and he gets this excited?
"Mr. Qin, can I have it? I'll pay for it, I've saved a million or eight over the years, I'll give it all to you..."
"..."
Qin Feng was surprised.
A million or eight?
This Elixir was worth that much?!
It made sense when he thought about it.
Becoming a Martial Master meant one could become the strongest in some smaller places.
For instance, in a small place like Lake City, someone like Fang Wudi was considered the number one expert, receiving sacrifices from the upper echelons, making money much easier.
"Mr. Qin, please sell it to me..."
Little Six pleaded more earnestly.
"Not for sale," Qin Feng waved his hand, then took out a pill and handed it to him, saying, "There are a total of twenty Second Grade Breaking Martial Pills, I'll give you one."
"Give, give it to me?!"
"Take it! Don't be so excited, it doesn't look good."
Qin Feng said.
He was giving it to Little Six because the guy was loyal, knowing well he was no match for Duoming, but still stood in front of him; someone like that deserved the gesture.
And also.
It wasn't really a gesture, as long as the medicinal ingredients were sufficient, he could have as many of these Elixirs as he wanted.
"And from Martial Master to Military General Level?"
Qin Feng asked again.
Gulp!
The still excited Little Six suddenly paused, astonished, "There's something for that too?!"
"Yes! But there are only five pills," said Qin Feng.
"Five pills?!"
Little Six was flabbergasted.
Five pills?!
Are these considered few in quantity?
From Martial Master to Military General, the difficulty of cultivation for martial practitioners skyrockets.
For instance, if advancing from an ordinary martial arts master to a Martial Arts Apprentice feels like climbing one mountain, then from Martial Arts Apprentice to Martial Master, it's like climbing ten mountains, and from Martial Master to Military General, you must climb a hundred mountains!
And still, success is not guaranteed!
The more advanced the cultivation, the stricter the bodily requirements become.
To go from Martial Master to Military General often necessitates the use of a great amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid in cultivation, and even so, there are very few who can reach the level of Military General.
This is why Martial Masters, despite their high earning potential, seem poor and often work as underlings for worldly rich bosses; they are constantly making money and then using it to buy resources for cultivation.
But for Military Generals, it's different.
If one becomes a Military General, they will no longer be working under bosses but become a person whom bosses pay tribute to.
They don't have to do anything on a daily basis, perhaps show up for the occasional matter, and spend the rest of their time on cultivation, no longer hustling for money.
This is the status every martial artist dreams of attaining.
As for Grandmasters.
They're too far out of reach, generally not something one would daydream about.
So.
To have five pills that could assist a Martial Master in breaking through to become a Military General, and you're saying that's few??
Having just one would cause a frenzy!
Little Six was so excited he couldn't contain himself.
At this time.
Waiting for Qin Feng to deal with Duoming, someone suddenly cried out: "I offer 80 billion!!"
80 billion?
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Duoming.
At this moment, Duoming's eyes were bloodshot with extreme excitement, saying: "I offer 80 billion for one pill, can I, can I? I need to improve my cultivation level as quickly as possible! Can you sell one pill to me?"
"..."
After careful consideration, Qin Feng understood.
Ordinarily.
This elixir is nowhere worth 80 billion.
But now it's a crucial moment in the struggle for the underground mercenary world of Jiang City between Duoming and Flying Dragon, an urgent need to boost cultivation in hopes of winning, so much so he is willing to spend all his savings to improve his cultivation.
"Not for sale," Qin Feng said indifferently.
"Why not?!" Duoming asked anxiously, "The price I'm offering is very fair!!"
Qin Feng smiled at him, saying: "Didn't I say from the start, these elixirs are only sold to those who bow their head in submission to the Flying Dragon Team. You'd rather die than submit, how could I sell to you?"
"..."
Duoming was left speechless.
Qin Feng then instructed Little Six: "Hand these all over to Flying Dragon, let's price one at 10 billion for now! We'll adjust according to the market later."
"10 billion?!"
Duoming felt like coughing up blood, "You won't sell for 80 billion, yet you're selling for only 10 billion?!"
Little Six was also utterly bewildered, failing to comprehend.
Little Six reminded again: "Mr. Qin, these could probably fetch 20 or 30 billion, after all, the position of a Military General is highly tempting to those in martial arts!"
"Let's sell it to our own people for 10 billion," Qin Feng stated, "As for self-sufficiency and selling elsewhere later, we can raise the price then."
From Duoming's reaction, he also knew that the Third Grade Breaking Martial Pill was worth far more than 10 billion.
But what is money for?
To him.
Money is just a tool for his rise to power.
He knows that Martial Masters make good money, but they're constantly depleting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, so their savings aren't substantial, with few being able to come up with 10 billion at once.
Of course.
Qin Feng wasn't sympathizing with them, but he wanted the Flying Dragon Team to grow quickly and become an extension of his power, while also attracting many to join willingly.
"So, shall I deliver these elixir...?"
Little Six said at this moment.
