Gasoline and bullets were where the real profit lay: reselling
Jiang Feng's eyes never left the television screen.
Opportunities to witness such a battle between unparalleled experts are rare, and more importantly, this expert is a sword cultivator.
Sword cultivators can gain many insights by observing battles between powerful sword cultivators.
Luo Yinxue, who was next to her, also looked at the TV screen, her face showing the same shock.
Although she couldn't discern their cultivation levels, they were definitely top-tier experts.
Just as the two were engrossed in watching, the battle scene on the TV screen suddenly stopped, and the ending theme song began to play.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng immediately became anxious and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper:
"What happened to the battle between those two powerful figures?!"
This was a battle between two unparalleled experts, and it ended abruptly just as it reached its most exciting point.
At that moment, he felt as if a million ants were crawling inside his heart.
The shopkeeper explained with a smile:
"This episode has finished airing. The next episode will start after the end credits."
Jiang Feng didn't quite understand the martial artist's words, but from the implication, it seemed the battle scene from earlier would reappear. He then asked:
"Who are these two powerful individuals? What are their cultivation levels?"
The martial artist from the Xingfeng Sect shook his head and said:
"This is fake; he's not a strong person."
Televisions are available in all the shops in the Xingfeng Sect, and these televisions play movies and TV series that have been downloaded in advance.
"Fake?" Jiang Feng was somewhat taken aback.
The battle between those two just now didn't look fake at all, and the place where they fought was like a fairyland, how could it be fake?
"This was all an act by someone else; I can't explain it to you."
The shopkeepers didn't know much about televisions either; each shop only had one, and they were used to attract customers.
Luo Yinxue asked, "Was this also crafted by your sect leader?"
The shopkeeper nodded:
"That's right, the sect leader forged more than a dozen in total, one for each shop."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yinxue's impression of Chen Feng rose even higher.
The other party not only possesses considerable cultivation, but is also capable of crafting these special items.
This led her to speculate that Chen Feng might have obtained some kind of powerful weapon-refining inheritance, and that it was not from the Youxinghai region.
Jiang Feng pointed to the television on the wall and asked, "Is this for sale?"
Jiang Feng was tempted by the television set; the mere sight of two powerful figures battling on screen made it worth buying.
The martial artist shook his head:
"I'm sorry, this item is not for sale. If you want to buy it, you can go to Manager Liu."
Televisions are not among the items sold in the store, mainly because they cannot be powered by batteries.
If you sell it to someone else, they won't be able to use it either.
Jiang Feng immediately showed a look of regret, but his gaze remained fixed on the television screen as he waited for the next episode to air.
Ge Yunxuan said from the side:
"Please write down what you two need, and we can ask Steward Liu about purchasing it later."
Luo Yinxue nodded, and then continued browsing in the shop.
In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.
For the past seven days, Luo Yinxue and Jiang Feng have been strolling around Xingfeng City.
The two purchased a large amount of goods during those seven days.
Luo Yinxue, in particular, bought the most items, spending thousands of low-grade Spirit Stone, filling both of her Storage Bag to the brim.
Even on the seventh day of her shopping trip, Luo Yinxue still felt a little unsatisfied.
But Jiang Feng couldn't continue shopping.
He hadn't cultivated much in the past seven days, which made him feel guilty.
As an outstanding genius of the Sword Inquiry Sect, how could I continue to indulge in this kind of shopping?
Luo Yinxue originally wanted to continue exploring, but since she had already stayed in Yingzhou for a long time, she really couldn't stay any longer.
Inside the council chamber, at the Xingfeng Sect.
Liu Gan smiled and looked at Luo Yinxue and the other person, saying:
"How have you two been shopping these past few days?"
Liu Qian had always known Luo Yinxue and her companion's whereabouts.
After all, these two were cultivators, so he still had to send someone to keep an eye on them to prevent them from doing anything reckless.
Luo Yinxue said with emotion:
"These goods from your esteemed establishment have truly broadened my horizons; I've never seen anything like them even in the Dark Star Sea."
These past few days, Luo Yinxue has felt as if she has entered a new world.
She often visited the markets frequented by cultivators, but browsing the shops in Xingfeng City gave her a completely different feeling.
Even though the items sold here aren't things that enhance a cultivator's strength, browsing around is surprisingly interesting, making you want to keep going forever.
Liu Qian smiled slightly:
"You two seem quite interested in the products produced by our Xingfeng Sect. What are your thoughts on the cooperation that our sect leader mentioned earlier?"
Luo Yinxue immediately took out a list from her person and handed it to Liu Qian:
"Manager Liu, these are the things we asked for. Please take a look."
Liu Qian took the list and glanced at it.
The store sells all sorts of goods, including household items and some electrical appliances.
Liu Qian looked at Luo Yinxue and said:
"These things are all for sale, except for the guns and the car."
Luo Yinxue immediately said:
"Manager Liu, are these two items not for sale at your establishment?"
Needless to say, Luo Yinxue has already experienced the car.
Although Luo Yinxue had never experienced firearms herself, she had seen many Xingfeng Sect martial artists use them in the past few days.
The weapon's power greatly appealed to her.
For high-level cultivators, this kind of weapon might not be of much value.
However, for low-level cultivators, equipping themselves with a firearm would undoubtedly increase their means of survival.
"It's not that we won't sell, but these two items are quite difficult to refine, and the materials used are extremely precious. Even if we were to sell firearms, we could only sell pistols for the time being."
Upon hearing Liu Qian's words, Luo Yinxue's face immediately lit up with joy:
"Manager Liu, a pistol would also be acceptable. I wonder what the prices are for both?"
Liu Qian's words clearly meant that it was possible to sell, which made things much easier.
Liu Qian thought for a moment and then said:
"A car costs three thousand low-grade Spirit Stone, and a pistol costs five hundred low-grade Spirit Stone!"
After saying this, Liu Qian looked at the expressions of the two men. This price was given by Chen Feng.
The price of three thousand low-grade Spirit Stone for a car was a figure Chen Feng determined after much consideration.
Because cars are only useful for low-level cultivators; high-level cultivators possess Law Artifact and escape techniques, so they have no need for cars.
Low-level cultivators are not wealthy; three thousand low-grade Spirit Stone are already their limit.
Five hundred for a pistol—that was the price Chen Feng gave based on the value of Law Artifact used by cultivators Qi Refining.
A low-grade magic Law Artifact costs around 1,000 Spirit Stone, but a pistol isn't Law Artifact, so it'd sell for around 500.
Moreover, the price of these items is secondary; gasoline and bullets are Chen Feng's main source of future sales.
Gasoline and bullets can only be purchased from him; gunpowder and oil are unavailable on Canglan Star.
When Chen Feng arrived in the Painting Scroll World, he did not notice these things.
Upon hearing Liu Qian's offer, Luo Yinxue frowned; the price was a bit too high.
A car costs 3,000 low-grade Spirit Stone, which is enough to buy a mid-grade Law Artifact.
Luo Yinxue thought for a moment and then said:
"Manager Liu, how about this? You sell us a few cars and handguns first, and we'll take them back to Youxinghai to show our elders. If they're satisfied, then we can discuss trade cooperation!"
Luo Yinxue planned to buy some cars and handguns to take back and show them to the Luo tribe.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qian immediately nodded:
"That's certainly possible. I'll send you some bullets and gasoline in return."
Liu Qian appeared very generous.
Luo Yinxue immediately smiled, "In that case, thank you very much, Steward Liu."
After agreeing on the price, Liu Qian had some cars brought over, all of which were fully fueled.
There were also more than one hundred pistols and one thousand rounds of ammunition.
Luo Yinxue purchased ten cars and one hundred handguns, paying a total of 80,000 low-grade Spirit Stone to Liu Qian.
Including the items she bought in Xingfeng City, Luo Yinxue had almost run out of Spirit Stone.
But Luo Yinxue didn't feel bad about spending those Spirit Stone at all; she felt it was well worth it.
As for Jiang Feng, he wasn't as wealthy as Luo Yinxue. He only bought one car and ten guns.
The Sword Inquiry Sect is a sword cultivation sect, and its disciples are generally poor and have no assets.
After putting the car and pistol into the Storage Bag, Luo Yinxue looked at Liu Qian and said:
"Then we'll take our leave. Is Sect Leader Chen still alive?"
Luo Yinxue wanted to say goodbye to Chen Feng before leaving.
Although there were some misunderstandings between the two sides before, they have now been resolved, and a preliminary trade relationship has been established.
Liu Qian said, "I'm sorry, the sect leader is in seclusion and cannot come to see you two."
Luo Yinxue was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
"Alright, we'll head back now. We'll let you know as soon as we have any news."
"Furthermore, there is a teleportation array in the south of Yingzhou. This array can take you directly to the edge of the Black Sea outside the Great Forest. It only requires ten mid-grade Spirit Stone to activate. Your sect can send someone there."
Luo Yinxue revealed the teleportation array, partly to do him a favor.
Liu Qian bowed and said, "Thank you for informing me."
Luo Yinxue and Jiang Feng then boarded a flying magical Law Artifact and left Xingfeng Sect.
Instead of returning directly overseas, the two arrived at the gates of Xingfeng City.
On the city wall, Ku Xiaotian was still hanging there. As if sensing that someone was watching him, Ku Xiaotian opened his eyes.
Upon seeing that it was Jiang Feng and Luo Yinxue, a ferocious look appeared on Ku Xiaotian's face:
"You stood by and watched us die; the Heavenly Demon Sect will never let this go!"
Hearing this, Luo Yinxue shook her head:
"Sect Leader Chen said that the Heavenly Demon Sect will release you if they offer 100,000 mid-grade Spirit Stone."
Upon hearing that Chen Feng wanted 100,000 mid-grade Spirit Stone, Ku Xiaotian's expression turned extremely ugly.
"One hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Stone? Why doesn't he just rob us!"
As the number one genius of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he only receives two hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone a month from the sect for cultivation resources.
Chen Feng asked for 100,000 spirit stones right off the bat. Even if the Heavenly Demon Sect had that many Spirit Stone, they would consider whether it was worth it to exchange so many Spirit Stone for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him.
"This is your only chance to live. Whether or not you are saved depends on your Heavenly Demon Sect."
After Luo Yinxue finished speaking, she left with Jiang Feng.
Watching Luo Yinxue and Jiang Feng leave, Ku Xiaotian felt a surge of fear.
If the Heavenly Demon Sect chooses to abandon him because the Xingfeng Sect has Nascent Soul Cultivator, or if they don't want to give him Spirit Stone.
Then he'll be stuck here for the rest of his life.
"No! My master will definitely save me!"
Ku Xiaotian's eyes hardened.
He was raised by his master from a young age, and he believed that his master would never give up on him.
