Ch 78: The Strange Water-repelling Pearl
“Good, then let’s cooperate long-term!”
“This prince will definitely get you more Crimson Flame Fruits.”
Yun Po readily agreed.
“Good, then I’ll wait for Your Highness to get them for me. Don’t worry about the quantity; I’ve brought sufficient funds.” Zhang Xiaohu also patted his chest in assurance.
Zhang Xiaohu left.
Looking at the banknote in his hand, Yun Po was very excited.
Just by reselling, he had earned so much.
This Zhang Xiaohu and the person from last night don’t know each other. As long as they don’t know each other, he can profit from it.
And there’s a possibility of befriending a Sword Immortal.
The next day evening.
Zhou Qianlin, carrying a Storage Bag, came to Yun Po’s Mansion.
“Need more Crimson Flame Fruits?” After entering, Zhou Qianlin said carelessly, showing no respect to Yun Po.
But the more this was the case, the more Yun Po felt there was no problem. The person’s backing was a Sword Immortal. Forget about himself, a prince; even the Emperor wouldn’t dare to offend him.
“Yes, yes, how many did you bring today?” Yun Po quickly asked.
“One thousand.” Zhou Qianlin sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, “But my Master said that the Crimson Flame Fruit is in short supply now, and it sells very well elsewhere. The price has a tendency to increase, so it’s not thirty taels of silver each anymore; it’s fifty taels of silver each. If you want them, take them; otherwise, I’ll leave.”
“Fifty taels?”
Yun Po was stunned.
The price actually increased?
“Why did the price suddenly increase?” Yun Po couldn’t help but say, “It wasn’t cheap at our previous price.”
“If you want them, take them; otherwise, I’ll go sell them to someone else. We have no shortage of buyers.” Zhou Qianlin said indifferently, “When I came here before, I saw a Prince’s Mansion in the West City District. I’ll go ask if they want to buy them.”
Saying that, Zhou Qianlin got up to leave.
“West City District?”
“Fourth Brother?”
Yun Po was anxious when he heard this and quickly stopped Zhou Qianlin.
“I didn’t say I didn’t want them, Little Brother. Don’t be angry.” Yun Po said with a smile, “One thousand Crimson Flame Fruits, right? I’ll take all of them.”
Anyway, even if the price increased, he would still make a profit.
“Here’s your stuff.” Zhou Qianlin took out one thousand Crimson Flame Fruits from the Storage Bag.
“Count them?” Zhou Qianlin asked.
“No need, I trust Little Brother.” Yun Po waved his hand, and gave Zhou Qianlin the Fifty Thousand Taels Banknote.
Zhou Qianlin didn’t waste words; he took the banknote and left.
“Little Brother, bring me more goods next time!” Yun Po shouted from behind.
Zhou Qianlin didn’t speak, just waved his hand and left.
After Zhou Qianlin left for a while, Yun Po immediately sent someone to find Zhang Xiaohu.
“Hahaha, Second Highness is amazing! I couldn’t get a single one even after collecting for so many days, yet Second Highness actually managed to get so many!” Zhang Xiaohu’s eyes lit up looking at the one thousand Crimson Flame Fruits.
“One thousand,” Yun Po said, “According to what we said before, seventy taels of silver each.”
“No problem.” Zhang Xiaohu waved his hand, and handed over the Seventy Thousand Taels of Silver Banknote.
Yun Po was overjoyed seeing the banknote. He earned twenty thousand taels of silver in a few hours. What kind of good business could earn this fast?
“But it’s still too little.” Zhang Xiaohu frowned, “Your Highness, can’t you get more?”
“I’ll try my best.” Yun Po was also helpless; Zhou Qianlin only brought this much.
“Your Highness, help me get more. I received a letter from Bei Jue; business there is incredibly good, and the demand for this thing is very high. The market is empty. If Your Highness gets me more, I’m willing to pay one hundred taels of silver per piece!”
Zhang Xiaohu said seriously.
“One hundred taels?!” Yun Po was shocked to hear this.
The price had doubled.
It was only fifty taels at first.
“Leave it to me.” Yun Po patted his chest and assured him.
“I’ll take that Thing first.” Zhang Xiaohu had someone pack up the Crimson Flame Fruits and left the Prince’s Mansion.
After Zhang Xiaohu left, Yun Po pondered how to get Zhou Qianlin to bring him more Crimson Flame Fruits.
In the Imperial Palace.
Li Hanzhou and Shi Ming, as people from Yunhuang, received preferential treatment here.
Emperor Zhou often invited Li Hanzhou to dinner. Li Hanzhou readily accepted. Li Hanzhou from his past life was a charlatan; his ability to deceive people was unmatched. Although Li Hanzhou didn’t know much about Yunhuang, he spoke nonsense that sounded believable. After all, Emperor Zhou had never been to the real Yunhuang, and since Li Hanzhou’s statements sounded genuine, Emperor Zhou naturally believed them.
These days, Li Hanzhou, having nothing to do, had already begun to create Spirit Treasures.
The Water Repelling Pearl he promised Yun Qing.
After three afternoons of effort, Li Hanzhou finally created the Water Repelling Pearl.
The bead, the size of a walnut, with countless runes gathering inside, the entire bead was filled with radiance the moment they converged.
“It’s going to succeed. An ordinary Water Repelling Pearl is fine; don’t let it have any messy functions,” Li Hanzhou muttered to himself as he watched the Water Repelling Pearl nearing completion.
According to the book’s description, the moment the Water Repelling Pearl was completed, it would become a deep blue bead, like the color of the ocean.
And if you put it to your ear, you could hear the sound of the waves.
Under Li Hanzhou’s anxious gaze, a blue radiance began to emanate from the Water Repelling Pearl.
“It’s done!”
Li Hanzhou said excitedly.
But gradually, the blue radiance began to weaken, slowly changing from blue to blood red.
Finally, a blood-red bead appeared before Li Hanzhou.
Black veins continuously flickered on the bead.
It looked utterly evil.
Li Hanzhou: …
This Thing looks too villainous!
Is this a Water Repelling Pearl?
Whose Water Repelling Pearl looks like this?
Li Hanzhou was puzzled and began to re-check his rune Code. But no matter how many times he checked, he found no problems with the Code.
Yet the resulting Thing was different.
Li Hanzhou picked up the bead and held it to his ear, wanting to hear if there was a sound of waves.
But when he held it to his ear, he heard a hehehe sound.
Like a pervert laughing obscenely inside.
“Could there really be a Demon in here?” Li Hanzhou was somewhat unsure.
“Oh well. My Spirit Treasures are always strange, but thankfully they have their basic functions. At most, they have some unexpected additional functions.” Li Hanzhou didn’t think too much about it; after all, the Water Repelling Pearl was made. Whether Yun Qing dared to use it was up to him.
He put the bead away, intending to give it to him when he left the palace.
Li Hanzhou prepared to start making the Jade Bottle.
This Thing was used to store the Spring of Immortality; it was a very important Thing.
Li Hanzhou carefully studied the manufacturing instructions, wanting to see what was different about this Jade Bottle.
