"Advance the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and make an example of them."
The time was almost right.
"Cough."
Elder Chen coughed lightly, then, as if suddenly realizing something, slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "Valley Master Qi, I was blind and didn't recognize you just now."
"Medicine King Valley is Level One Trusted Faction in the 'Mortal Domain'."
"Has the right to purchase up to 100,000 Eerie Stone on Credit Privilege."
"You can freely choose any item in the Mortal Domain Market worth 100,000 Eerie Stone and take it away for free, as long as you pay off the Eerie Stone within one month."
"This is your Token."
Elder Chen then respectfully took out a Special Token from his hand.
A rectangular Token.
The front is engraved with the characters "Mortal Domain), and the back is engraved with the characters "Medicine King Valley).
"With this Token, you can purchase goods on credit at any stall under the Mortal Domain banner in the Mortal Domain Market."
66
Valley Master Qi stood there, somewhat incredulous. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he instinctively asked, "Isn't the Mortal Domain worried that I won't come to pay?"
Elder Chen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, it's just that the Medicine King Valley's Pill Furnace should appear at the next Auction."
"Cough."
Valley Master Qi immediately realized he had asked an extremely foolish question. He coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, but still reluctantly took the Token and handed it to Elder Chen.
"Then I'll use this Token now to reserve all the Skeleton Horse for me, and I'll take them with me when I leave."
"No problem."
Elder Chen took the Token, walked to the room behind him, pushed open the door and went inside. He quickly came out again, returned the Token to Valley Master Qi, and said with a smile, "I've reserved 66 Skeleton Horse for you, and you still have 1,000 Eerie Stone left. I wish Valley Master Qi a safe journey."
"Okay, okay."
Valley Master Qi couldn't help but beam with a smile as he carefully tucked the Token into his robes, "Are there any other forces that have become Trust forces in the Mortal Domain?"
"Spending 50,000 Eerie Stone in the Mortal Domain Market, or being invited by the Mortal Domain, can make you a Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain."
"Is there also Level Two Trusted Faction?"
"Yes, Level Two Trusted Faction, with Credit Limit of up to 200,000 Eerie Stone."
"200,000..."
Valley Master Qi's breath hitched. Was the Mortal Domain really that rich? The entire Medicine King Valley didn't even have 200,000 Eerie Stone combined. If he were to follow Chen Fan's example and buy on credit, he would bankrupt Medicine King Valley in one go.
But what he was more concerned about was...
How to become Level Two Trusted Faction?
"You can obtain it by spending 200,000 Eerie Stone at the Mortal Domain Market."
"So I'm halfway done now, right?"
"I suppose so," Elder Chen said with a smile. "The exact amount will only be recorded in the expense schedule once Valley Master Qi has paid the full amount for this transaction."
"Clear."
Valley Master Qi grinned and nodded, then couldn't help but take out the Token and play with it in his hand. There was a Level One mark on the back of the Token. Without lingering, he immediately went to the Inn at the end of the street and pushed open the door.
"Xiao Er, I'd like to reserve a room!"
He was in an extremely good mood at that moment.
Very good.
They were even eager to return to Jiangnan.
The next moment -
The Xiao Er standing at the shop entrance smiled and looked at the group, "Are you Valley Master Qi?"
"Exactly."
"This way, please. Medicine King Valley is Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain. There are no extra fees for staying at the Inn, and you have already been upgraded to a room."
"Upgrade to a room?"
"It means they can stay in better houses than other factions."
"Okay, okay."
Valley Master Qi couldn't help but grin again. He wasn't short of money for staying at Inn, but the feeling of this privilege made him feel great. Becoming Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain also came with this privilege.
Don't say it.
It's also Market.
This Mortal Domain Market feels different from all other Market.
It feels very strange.
He likes it.
"Mortal City".
The streets on both sides of the entrance to the city were lined with vendors, and although there were houses along the road, all of them were closed.
In reality, the houses along both sides of the road were all connected, forming a passageway surrounded by houses.
Men, women, and children dressed in the Mortal Domain Uniform Robe were running continuously inside the passage.
"Report! Medicine King Valley, Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain, has purchased 66 Skeleton Horse using 99,000 Eerie Stone on Credit Limit. They have 1,000 Eerie Stone remaining."
"Already noted."
"Report! The 'Gongyang Clan,' Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain, has used 100,000 Eerie Stone on Credit Limit to purchase 64 Skeleton Horse and 2 Wraith Camel. They have 0 Eerie Stone remaining."
"Already noted!"
"Report! The One Sword Sect has spent 75,000 Eerie Stone to purchase 50 Skeleton Horse and has applied to become a Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain."
"Approved, recorded."
Sitting at the end of the passage, Wang Kui quickly recorded the information, then picked up Message Talisman beside him. "Wang Kui contacted the Logistics Pavilion. The One Sword Sect has applied to become a Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain, and I have approved it. Please expedite the production of one One Sword Sect -exclusive 'Trusted Faction Token'."
Little Qiu's voice quickly came from the other end of the Message Talisman.
"Received, expedited manufacturing has begun, and it will be delivered soon."
Several hundred breaths later.
A man dressed in the Mortal Domain Uniform Robe rode Skeleton Horse out of the Canyon, entered the Mortal City from the other side, and quickly arrived at the back door of the house, where he respectfully handed over a Token.
Wang Kui took the Token and handed it to someone beside him. "Take this and give it to the One Sword Sect."
"Further report! The 'One Sword Sect,' Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain, has used 100,000 Eerie Stone on Credit Limit to purchase 65 Skeleton Horses, 1 Wraith Camel, and 16 Level Level-2 Ground Spikes. They have 20 Eerie Stone remaining."
"Already noted."
66
Chen Fan was no longer greeting them at the door; this task had been handed over to King Mazi. As the Commerce Pavilion Master in the Mortal Domain, King Mazi was in charge of the Mortal Domain Trade Association and needed to get acquainted with various forces.
He stood at the far end of the houses on both sides of the Mortal Domain Market Street, looking at the Mortal Domain Member running around inside, his smile extremely broad.
To quickly grow your business.
Offering discounts is a must.
Making sure others can also enjoy the cake is a must.
If you want your business to grow rapidly, you need to provide a certain payment period.
He provides the money, he provides the goods; these forces can earn an extremely generous reward simply by running errands. It's no wonder they're going crazy. He had long anticipated the frenzied scene in the Market.
The only regret is...
There are no computers in this world.
Keeping accounts is not very convenient.
It can only be done by manpower.
They look a little tired, but everyone seems excited.
We're still short-staffed.
Standing to the side, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh. Mortal Domain now has a total of 247 people, but it is still short-staffed. There are enough people to run errands, but not enough professional talents.
For example, what he currently lacks are a few quick-witted and Trust Accountant, so there's no need to transfer Wang Kui over.
He has already sent all the eloquent and persuasive people to work as stall owners in the Mortal Domain Market.
Just then -
"Domain Lord."
The Crippled Monkey beside them asked hesitantly, "Aren't we being a bit crazy? What if we can't hold on? It would be terrible if we couldn't get back the Eerie Stone we bought on credit."
"Won't."
Chen Fan chuckled without explaining; the others were unaware of the specific cost of creating the Skeleton Horse.
He can create a Skeleton Horse with just... 100 Eerie Stone.
For him, the 66 Skeleton Horse that others bought on credit for 100,000 Eerie Stone would only result in a shortfall of 6,600 Eerie Stone.
We can definitely withstand it.
"But I always feel like we're making them too much money?" the Crippled Monkey said indignantly. "They don't even have to spend any money, and they can earn tens of thousands of Eerie Stones in one trip. Why should they?"
No rush.
Chen Fan chuckled and said softly, "This is called 'spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones,' showing everyone through actions that following the Mortal Domain guarantees success."
"To make more forces that haven't participated envious."
"I long to eat meat with the Mortal Domain."
"With such a large-scale supply, the Skeleton Horse market in the East River, Jiangxi, and Three Jiangnan Regions will soon be saturated in the short term, and they will gradually lower the price. It is normal for something bought for 1,500 Eerie Stone be sold for 1,700 or even 1,600 Eerie Stone."
"Next-"
"That's the main event."
"By this time, many forces had already made a fortune by following the Mortal Domain, and their Trust in the Mortal Domain was already very high. They were also eager to make even more money. Some of these forces even had Trade Route to the West Pass Plains. We can use these forces to sell the Skeleton Horse to even more distant places."
"His fame is growing."
"At that time!"
"If anyone becomes our enemy, we don't even need to lift a finger; a single word is enough for numerous forces to wipe them out on our behalf."
"This is what it means to not own the world, but to use it for my own purposes."
The Crippled Monkey bowed its head in deep thought, vaguely sensing that if this plan succeeded, it would be epoch-making; no other power had ever achieved such a feat. However, the drawback was...
If we fail, it will be Myriad Tribulations.
What if someone defaults on their debt?
"The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, symbolizing the emperor's authority, presses down; a chicken is killed to make an example of a monkey."
This day was destined to be crazy.
Many forces were drawn here by the reputation of the Mortal Domain and the Auction, completely unaware of the Mortal Domain Market. However, after taking a tour of the Mortal Domain Market, they all became eager to participate.
This isn't Jiangbei at all!
Isn't this their second home, a place they've never even visited?
"Hurry, hurry!"
On another street in Mortal City, which is responsible for acquisitions and allows free trade between various forces, one of the shops is the official acquisition shop of "Mortal Domain".
A Middle-Aged Man pointed anxiously to a Horse-Drawn Carriage of goods behind him.
"Give me an estimate, I'm selling them all."
He originally came from a powerful faction in the East River.
Knowing that many forces would arrive in the Mortal Domain after the Rainy Season, they specially brought a batch of goods after the Rainy Season ended, intending to sell them here. However, upon arrival, they discovered just how crazy the place was.
His influence had no connection with the Mortal Domain.
One must spend 50,000 Eerie Stone in the Market to become a Level One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain and to return to the East River with a large number of Skeleton Horse.
But he went out to sell goods.
He wasn't the leader of any faction, just someone in charge of the Trade Association guild. He didn't have that many Eerie Stones on him; he only had thirty or forty Eerie Stone. He had originally planned to use the profits and these Eerie Stones to buy another batch of goods to take back and resell.
The quota for becoming a "Level One Trusted Faction" by Mortal Domain 50,000 Eerie Stone today is only 20 slots. He discussed it with the Clan Chief.
The decision was made to quickly clear out the goods to the Mortal Domain, then quickly purchase 50,000 Eerie Stone worth of Skeleton Horse to become Level One Trusted Faction, and then use the 100,000 Eerie Stone Credit Limit to buy more Skeleton Horse to take back.
The spots are now all taken, with only 7 remaining.
That's why he was in such a hurry.
This is practically free money!
The main advantage is that there is no risk involved.
All the risks are borne by the Mortal Domain; they only need to make one round trip to earn a fortune.
"I know the rules."
The Middle-Aged Man said somewhat hastily, "These Exotic Treasure all Unopened, there's no time to appraise them, why don't you just pack them up and buy them?"
"Please don't be impatient, sir."
The Chen Family Second Grand Elder walked out cheerfully, waved, and several waiters came out of the shop, carrying Xiao Er and small bags of goods back inside. Only then did he speak, "Our Shopkeeper will take a quick look first, and then give you a specific number."
"Please hurry, I'm in a bit of a rush."
"I understand, I understand."
Inside the shop.
Chen Fan sat in the inner room, quickly scanning the panels of each Exotic Treasure. There were quite a few, mostly White Exotic Treasure, with seven or eight Green Exotic Treasure. Finally, his gaze settled on a jade pendant.
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Builder Token.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": This card grants the ability to become Builder.
A simple and easy effect.
However, it contains enormous benefits.
Chen Fan suddenly couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, once there were more people, the treasure came to him on its own. This item could very well be the last item in this Auction!
A highlight item at the end of the auction!
As for other Exotic Treasure...
There were good ones and bad ones; he planned to buy them all for the Mortal Domain Trade Association's reserves.
After a while.
He offered a suitable price, then glanced at the former Chen Family Second Grand Elder, who was standing in the inner room awaiting instructions, and whispered, "Offer 10,000 Eerie Stones. See if he'll sell. You can raise the price further, but don't appear too eager."
"Clear."
After the Chen Family Second Grand Elder nodded respectfully, he strode out of the house, glanced at the anxiously waiting Middle-Aged Man, and coughed lightly. "The Shopkeeper has finished appraising the price; the buyback price is 8,000 Eerie Stone, of which..."
Before the words were even finished!
"Make a deal!"
The Middle-Aged Man urged excitedly, "Quickly, give me the Eerie Stone, I've given you all the goods."
66
The Chen Family Second Grand Elder twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth. He had originally planned to raise the price to 10,000 Eerie Stones to make the other party feel that he had really made a concession, but he did not expect the other party to be in such a hurry. He immediately waved his hand, and the Xiao Er beside him quickly counted the Eerie Stone and handed them over.
The Middle-Aged Man accepted the Eerie Stone without the slightest hesitation.
He led his Subordinate and rushed towards the next street, "Mortal Domain Market Street," fearing that if they were a step too slow, all the spots for Level One Trusted Faction in Mortal Domain would be snatched up.
"Really..."
He watched the man's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Fortunately.
He had never bullied the Young Master before, which is why he was able to escape with his life and witness the prosperity of Mortal City.
Although he is old.
But whether it was just his imagination or not, he felt as if he had ushered in a second spring in his career.
