Chapter 49: The Gate of Life Opens!
50,000 catties of Lingguo, 3 million taels of white silver.
Mr. Fan quickly assembled his men and had Linggu clear out the warehouse, then presented the silver with both hands.
Facing a warehouse that can save lives, Fan Zhanggui cried, and the Lingnong also cried. They never thought that being a Lingnong would also have a day of getting rich. Thinking about the hard days in the past, this is what they call "bitterness ends with sweetness". Their admiration for Su Dong has reached an unprecedented level.
He rushed to the room to wash his face, and Fan Zhuang came back to the living room. Not only was he polite to Su Dong and Zhou's family, but also accompanied by a smile, one by one presenting the gifts he had carefully prepared for those Ling Nong.
Ling Nong and his group had always been looked down upon by others, but now that they were being treated with such respect by the big boss of Ye City, everyone felt proud and held their heads high.
"Su Dong brothers, it's inconvenient to carry a large amount of silver with you. Why don't I help you exchange it for Baofeng Bank's silver notes?" asked Fan Zhanggui as he walked up to Su Dong.
Old Master Su nodded and said to Su Dong, "Yes, it's not suitable to carry a large amount of silver with you. Baofeng is the strongest silver note on the mainland, and a thin piece of paper can be used to transfer money all over the world. Even Hansheng City has a branch of Baofeng, so let Manager Fan exchange it for a silver note, that's the best way."
Su Dong nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Fan to take care of it. We still have a batch of spiritual medicine to deal with. After the silver ticket is exchanged, just send it to the guest house and I'll treat you to a couple of drinks another day."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Dong wanted to leave with Zhou Xing and the others. Fan Zhang suddenly hesitated and grabbed Su Dong, saying: "There's still a divine medicine!? Is it also for ordinary people to use?"
Su Dong nodded and said: "They are all from the same spiritual field, they should be too."
Whoosh!
Fan the shopkeeper cried again, excitedly saying: "Su Dong brothers, this time you not only saved me, but also saved another Dong shopkeeper! Their family opened a pharmacy and was also given a death order by the imperial palace. At this moment, they are struggling to survive! Everyone please sit for a moment, I'll go invite Dong shopkeeper over and tell him this great news!"
Not long after, a fat shopkeeper came again, looked at Su Dong's spiritual medicine, and cried out loud, wailing incessantly.
Su Dong couldn't help but find it amusing. When doing business, one should put on a smiling face to welcome customers, but these two fat men had puffy eyes from crying.
Ask clearly about the number of spiritual medicines in Su Dong's hand, and Director Dong thought for a moment, stretching out five fingers: "Brother Su Dong, I am willing to buy all the spiritual medicines in your hand at the highest market price with 50,000 taels of silver. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Dong frowned, and Zhou Lao Taigong and Fan Zhanggui also looked unpleasant.
At this price, these elixirs are indeed worth 50,000, but the key is that Su Dong's batch of elixirs isn't ordinary goods!
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, Su Dong smiled slightly and said to this Dong Pangzi: "Dong boss, isn't this price a bit low? Our Lingnong Society has hundreds of people waiting for food, even if I want to give you this favor, my brothers won't agree."
In an instant, Su Dong changed his expression. Since this Dong Baozi treated him with the way of a swindler, Su Dong had no reason not to give it back to him. The several hundred people in Lingnong Village were waiting for food, and Su Dong was only 22 years old after all.
"Sixty thousand taels, two percent higher than the market price! This should be it, right?" Dong Paozi said with blinking eyes.
Before Su Dong could speak, Fan Zhang's face turned red with anxiety and he stood up loudly saying: "Old Dong! Do you understand reason or not!? The goods in Su Dong's hands are ordinary goods?! How can you open the price according to ordinary standards?! That is something that can save our lives! Have you forgotten what was passed down from the imperial palace?! These spiritual medicines, at the very least, must be worth 100,000 taels!"
Dong's face clearly hurt a bit, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Alright, 1 million it is! To save my life, I have no choice!"
Su Dong said calmly on the side, "One million five hundred thousand."
Dong Pangzi's face changed, and he awkwardly said: "1.5 million is three times the market price! Isn't that too expensive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Dong lightly sipped a mouthful of tea and said: "Two million."
*sigh*
Everyone was stunned, this price increase is really ruthless, a jump of 55,000!
"Su Dong brothers..." Dong Zhanggui apparently was anxious, using a pleading tone wanting to beg Su Dong once more.
"Three hundred thousand." Su Dong didn't respond to him, her eyes fixed on the teacup, and said in a very calm tone, this time it wasn't an additional fifty thousand, but directly added one hundred thousand!
Dong Pangzi was stunned and hastily shouted: "Deal! Deal! My ancestors, don't let it rise again!"
After shouting this sentence, Dong Baozi's face turned pale and his forehead was covered in sweat, while Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hand, saying with great elegance: "Thank you for your patronage, next time you need goods, remember to go to Hansheng City to find me."
……
"Dong's fate is also self-inflicted, his life is almost gone, and he still calculates that little bit of silver." Fan said with resentment after Dong left.
Looking at Su Dong, Fan Zhanggu said hesitantly: "Su Dong brother, since Dong Zhanggu has already bought your spiritual medicine at six times the market price, shouldn't I add a bit more on my side?"
"You don't have to, proactively raising the price shows that you are a kind-hearted person and my friend, Su Dong. That surnamed Dong is different, he's too slick, I quite dislike him."
Zhou Xing burst out laughing and said: "You should directly ask for 500,000 taels, anyway this spiritual medicine is one-of-a-kind, if he doesn't buy it, his head will roll."
Su Dong shook his head and said, "I don't have that intention. If he doesn't repent, no matter how much silver he offers, I won't sell to him. I'll make him die."
Everyone was stunned, and the fact that they refused to sell this trick was ruthless enough. If the imperial family's errand couldn't be completed, they would definitely lose their heads. And Su Dong planned to watch Dong Baozi die with his eyes wide open!
Everyone almost forgot, no matter how young and elegant Su Dong is now, she's still that ruthless person at heart!
……
Nothing is more exciting than a pile of silver ingots, with stacks of one-thousand-tael silver notes as thick as bricks, laid out there for anyone to see and covet.
Jin Xiaobao, Kong Jing and others had originally planned to let Su Dong occupy 70% himself, after all, it was almost entirely Su Dong's credit that the Lingtian could be made like this. But Su Dong still decided to follow what was previously agreed upon, taking 50% for himself, which is 300,000 taels, and dividing the rest among the underlings of the Lingnong Society.
Twenty people each received 10,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 90,000 taels were considered public funds, temporarily kept by Kong Jing. After returning to Hansheng City, they bought some nearby spiritual fields and paid for some daily expenses.
These Ling Nong farmers had never seen such a large sum of silver, and they were all excited to the point of being unable to calm themselves. Kong Jing even burst into tears. Thinking about how he had been reporting to Yang Taishi every day, Kong Jing felt very uneasy in his heart. He made up his mind that from now on, he would follow Su Dong and work hard, or else it would be impossible to justify himself.
That night, after drinking a lot of wine, Su Dong announced that the Lingnong Society would officially enter winter recess and resume work next spring when the soil thawed.
At night, Su Dong hid alone in his room, quietly lying on the bed, practicing the Dragon Armor Eight Gates technique.
No matter how great the benefits of Ling Tian, or his own unique spiritual power, in the rapid progress of the warrior's path, it all boils down to the inheritance of Qimen bringing it about. Without Longjia Eight Gates, there would be none of this, so Su Dong has never slackened in his cultivation of Qimen inheritance.
Don't look at Su Dong's ordinary days, in fact, when he eats, sleeps, and even drinks, the Dragon Armor Eight Gates' kung fu is always running.
A warm current is shuttling back and forth through Xiū Mén, its speed getting faster and faster, and from time to time it rushes towards the Second Gate, Shēng Mén!
It's just like a sprint, as long as Su Dong can rush through the birth gate, he can complete a level of leap!
Longjia Eight Gates opens double gates, Su Dong can set up an even more powerful eight-gate formation than the four-gate formation! And he can also forge his second Qimen Dahfa artifact!
It's just the Four Gate Formation, and Su Dong already has an astonishing speed of improvement. If it becomes the Eight Gate Formation, even Su Dong himself doesn't know what kind of astonishing level he will reach!
Boom!
Boom!
Spiritual power continues to accelerate, sprint! Sprint again!
Yecheng is like a blessed land for Su Dong, where he not only gained the greatest wealth since his rebirth, but also showed signs of opening the second gate of Longjia Ba Men!
His left arm emitted a mysterious and dim glow, as if something was crawling up Su Dong's body.
At dawn, it was quiet.
In this quietness, Su Dong completed another transformation silently!
Dragon's Armor Eight Gates, Second Gate, Life Gate, Open!
Dragon scales treasure armor attached left arm!
