WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 119: Making Money

With regards to making money, Lin Dong did not have as much business acumen as Xuan Su. However, he did not plan on building a business empire. Everything he wanted, enough potions to help his cultivation.

After he thought about it, he realized that he only had two ways to earn money. One was to refine Yang Yuan Stones using the refining power of the Stone Talisman. Since he could basically purify one Yang Yuan pill from three Yang Yuan Stones, this tripled the efficiency of an ordinary practitioner. However, he did not possess enough Yang Yuan Stones and most factions with considerable strength, would not easily sell such items. As for gathering them, it would be too troublesome.

So Lin Dong could only switch to another simple method. It was to directly sell the elixir pills that he perfected with the Stone Talisman.

Lin Dong was able to refine five elixir pills from one fifth grade elixir. Moreover, not only was the elixir pill obtained after this kind of refining light and extremely absorbable, it was also several times more effective than taking elixir in the usual way.

Based on Lin Dong's conjecture, if others were to consume a fifth grade elixir, the amount of medicinal strength they could absorb wouldn't even be a fifth of the entire amount contained in that elixir. Most of the medicinal power will settle in the body or spread. While a single elixir pill was already comparable to this kind of effectiveness.

In other words, for an ordinary person, it would be much more beneficial to directly buy and consume an elixir pill than to buy a fifth grade elixir. And this was also the fastest method Lin Dong could think of to earn money…

…

Of course, if he wanted to sell the elixir pills, he naturally had to go to the Thousand Gold Auction House. Only there, he could receive the best rates.

Therefore, Lin Dong straightened himself up before he exited the inn and headed straight for the Thousand Gold Association.

Lin Dong was currently also considered a sinecure of the Thousand Gold Association, meaning that he held some status there. Thus, when he was seen, a servant girl quickly appeared and brought him before Xuan Su, who was currently dealing with some matters.

“Hehe, Lin Dong's sister, it's been a long time since you've come to look for this older sister. I'm almost thinking that you've forgotten me. ” Xuan Su, who was flipping through some documents, raised her beautiful face and smiled sweetly at Lin Dong when she heard the sound of her footsteps. Her smile was truly a mesmerizing sight.

Lin Dong replied with a dry laugh. She was a little confused as to how to deal with the temptation of this beautiful woman who exuded this mature and graceful charm. She knew that Xuan Su was not much older than Xia Zhilan and she only called her former aunt because of the family's seniority.

"Speak, why did you come to this older sister?" Xuan Su put down the documents in his hands and smiled gently.

"I was thinking of auctioning off some items at the Thousand Gold Association." Lin Dong was not long-winded. After muttering to himself for a moment, he took out two jade bottles from his Qiankun Bag. In each jade bottle, there were ten refined elixir pills of fifth grade elixir.

"Oh?"

Xuan Su gently raised his jet-black brows as he reached out his slender lily-white hand to take out the elixir pill from the jade bottle. He fiddled with it for a moment before gently saying: "This is the elixir-enhanced pill from elixir right?"

"Yes." Yeah." Lin Dong chuckled while nodding his head.

Xuan Su pondered for a moment before he called out to a white-haired old man and gave him an elixir pill. This old man turned out to be very experienced in assessing elixir pills. After several examinations, he was somewhat astonished when he asked: "This should be an elixir pill with Mental Energy recovery properties. It has gentle properties and the effect is at least like a fifth-grade elixir. ”

"Oh? It seemed like little brother Lin Dong had some treasures. ” After hearing these words, Xuan Su was also slightly amazed. To think that one elixir pill could really match a fifth grade elixir.

“This old man suggested to set the auction price of these elixir pills at 300 Yang Yuan Stones. Due to the fact that this elixir pill had Mental Energy recovery properties, most of the buyers were Symbol Experts. These customers were considered to be extremely wealthy and if they fought over it, the price would probably go even higher. What was Manager Su thinking? ” Said the white-haired old man.

"okay." Xuan Su slightly tilted his head, he clearly felt that this price was deserved.

Likewise, Lin Dong was also very satisfied with this price. One pill for 300 Yang Yuan Stones, then twenty pills would be equivalent to 6000 Yang Yuan Stones. After the conversion, it would be 600 Yang Yuan pills, which was not a small amount.

"Manager Su, if you manage to auction off these elixir pills, you can pay me with Yang Yuan Stones." Lin Dong smiled and said. If he refined Yang Yuan Stones himself, he could even double or triple his profits. So it was useless for him to directly request for the Yang Yuan pill.

"You need a medium-level Qiankun Bag to store so many Yang Yuan Stones." Xuan Su looked at Lin Dong as he chuckled: “Sister Lin Dong, a mid-tier Qiankun Bag is usually valued at around 2,000 Yang Yuan Stones. Since you are not safe from our Thousand Gold Association, how about I charge you 1,000? ”

After hearing this, Lin Dong was stunned before he could not help the pain in his heart. A low-tier Qiankun bag only cost around a hundred Yang Yuan Stones, yet a medium-tier bag actually cost ten times as much?

"Then we will do as Manager Su says." No matter how hurt his heart was, Lin Dong knew that these things were important. Although the low-level Qiankun Bag was cheap, the little space it had was completely inadequate.

When he saw the sad expression on Lin Dong's face, Xuan Su could only shut his mouth to hold back his laughter: “Sister Lin Dong, this older sister is just teasing you. Take this intermediate-tier Qiankun Bag as a gift from our Thousand Gold Association, you must not refuse, otherwise I will not help you auction off this elixir pill. ”

As he stared at the graceful and attractive Xuan Su, who was now knitting his brows and holding back his laughter, Lin Dong could only force a smile as he nodded his head while silently sighing in his heart. As expected of the Thousand Gold Association, they were probably the only ones capable of delivering items worth several thousand Yang Yuan Stones with a wave of a hand.

“Manager Su..”

“You are so young, where did all these formalities come from? If you don't think I'm old, just call me big sister Su. ” After hearing Lin Dong call him Manager Su, Xuan Su could not help feeling a little displeased as he commented.

"Alright then .. Su's older sister." Ever since he was born, Lin Dong had never seen such a formidable woman. Therefore, he could only nod his head helplessly before he said: “I need a Secret Art of a slightly higher level. Therefore, may I ask big sister Su to help me take care of her. ”

"High-level Secret Arts?"

Upon hearing this request, Xuan Su's black brows furrowed slightly. Third-grade Secret Arts were very easy to obtain, yet second-grade ones were a bit more difficult and for first-rate ones, it was even rarer. Even their Thousand Gold Association rarely found it.

“Sure, I will give you instructions and make sure someone is watching. If anyone wants to auction it off, I will secretly intercept and allow you to discuss with the seller in private. ”

"Thank you so much, Brother Su."

Lin Dong sighed in relief as he cupped his fists and thanked him. Although he had obtained quite a lot today from the elixir pills, he knew that there were many rich people in Yan City. If others liked him, he would have a hard time getting it.

“Leave the elixir pill here first, I'll start auctioning it for a few days now. As for the Secret Art, I will contact you when there is news. ”

Lin Dong smiled and nodded his head. Although they had finished their discussion, based on his understanding of his temperament, Lin Dong did not dare to leave immediately. Therefore, he accompanied Xuan Su and chatted with him for a while before leaving.

…

Over the next few days, without an elixir pill to supplement him, his cultivation speed slowed down a bit. However, this was ideal as one needed tension and relaxation to form a good cultivation regiment. If one blindly immerses oneself in constant hard training, his efficiency will drop.

As for the auction of the elixir pill, one could not help but say that the Thousand Gold Association was indeed strong and capable. In just three days, they consecutively auctioned off all twenty elixir pills. Xuan Su's intelligent business method was quite good. He did not auction off all of the elixir pills at once, but instead divided them into groups. This kind of elixir pill was extremely beneficial to Symbol Masters, but even for an important item like this, it would be difficult to raise its price if it was too much. After all, the rarer something is, the greater its value.

Thus, during this batch after batch auction, the rich Symbol Masters fought over twenty elixir pills until their prices reached a total of 8,000 Yang Yuan Stones, a number that far exceeded Lin Dong's expectations.

After receiving this amount of Yang Yuan Stone, Lin Dong once again used two whole days to refine everything into Yang Yuan pills.

Therefore, Lin Dong now had 2,600 Yang Yuan pills. His originally dry funds practically exploded in an instant …

With this bountiful harvest, Lin Dong's financial foundation was once again solid. He went out to buy a number of good quality fifth grade elixirs before immersing himself in intensive training again.

On the third day after he had continued to immerse himself in intensive training, Xuan Su suddenly sent someone from the Thousand Gold Association to tell him that the item he needed, had finally appeared.

After hearing this news, Lin Dong practically jumped up in excitement on the spot. While he enjoyed the benefits of the Yin Yang Pearl during this period of time, Lin Dong increasingly discovered that the 'Qingyuan Art' was lacking.

This kind of feeling is similar to a rather good car powered by a substandard engine, so the actual horsepower of the car cannot be displayed thoroughly.

Thus, this matter was a constant pain on Lin Dong's side, therefore, after hearing that there was news of a high-level Secret Art, he did not hesitate in the slightest as he directly left the inn and headed straight for the Thousand Gold. The Association.

If that Secret Art really deserved it, he would get it at any price!

He had already suffered enough from the old bull dragging the carriage like the efficiency of 'Qingyuan Art'!
