Amassing Wealth

Right now, what Xin Yun had to do was arrive at the mine and find that 9.9th tier jade blue sea before he turned eight years old. It had to be known… that jade blue sea was found at around this time. If Xin Yun was even half a step late, then he would not have the slightest chance of getting it. Because this was the case, he could not worry about too much, even if Yi Luo Xiang had to suffer some hardships.

Of course, this was only the second reason. The third reason was Yi Luo Xiang’s birthday was only a few months away, so there was only a few months of time after he acquired the jade blue sea to find a ninth-tier purple dragon creation stone to act as Yi Luo Xiang’s birthday present.

After being reborn, there were too many opportunities waiting for Xin Yun. Based on his previous life’s memories, there were too many things Xin Yun had to do, thus… he had to do his best at all times. Although he could not take advantage of most opportunities, after all…. Xin Yun did not know how to make clones of himself, he still had to do his best to capture all of the more important opportunities.

After resting, the three once again arrived at the storage unit. Looking at the large bags piled up, A Da happily said: “I just asked around, hehe…. here, the mushrooms can sell for eight copper for one liang, haha…. We’ve struck it rich this time!”

Here, a total of 3000 liang of mushrooms sold at eight copper per liang would sell for a total fo 24000 copper. That was to say two gold an four silver.

A Da happily continued: “Where are we going next? What goods will we be transporting next? Hehe…. this time, we will still be trading with the mushrooms, right? What do you think?”

“Sweats…” Hearing A Da’s question, Xin Yu could not help but wipe away some sweat.

Helplessly looking at A Da, Xin Yun shook his head and said: “This city in the plains is small, but it is still a city, no matter how small it is. You can use goods to trade for goods in a village, but here, it can only be sold for money!”

Speaking to this point, Xin Yun smiled slightly then continued: “Also, dried pine mushrooms are not maize. Not to mention how goods can not be traded for goods, even if they could, it would not be worth it. Remember… if you want to run a business to earn money, you must use your brain a little more. Don’t just copy what someone else has done.”

“Then… your meaning is?” Hearing Xin Yun’s words, A Da was completely lost. The feelings… had changed, and so had the environment. The previous method could not be used!

Xin Yun did not explain further, instead saying: “That’s enough, there’s no need to ask too much. It will be fine to just do as a say. Right now… go to a tailors and have 300 sheep-skin bags made. The quality needs to be a little more fine. Also, this image must be applied on them.” As he said this, Xin Yun pulled out a piece of paper with noble image drawn on it and handed it to A Da.

Looking at the drawing in his hand, A Da opened his mouth to speak; however, he recalled how Xin Yun told him there was no need to ask, he only had to do it. The meaning was already very clear. Xin Yun did not have time to explain. So long as the matter was completed, A Da’s confusion would be dispelled.

A Da had already completely trusted Xin Yun. The previous business with the maize could be considered normal, but this time, in a week’s time, he had earned a large profit. The ten times profit Xin Yun promised had already been achieved. Now, it had already been achieved, but this was still just the beginning.

At that time… the value of the maize was just 3000 copper, but after being handled by Xin Yun, it had reached the value of two gold and four silver. In just two weeks, the profit was two gold. This was an amount that could barely be attained in an entire year.

Seeing A Da turn and leave, Xin Yun did not mosy about. With the copper one star dragon stones purchased from Ju Mu village in his pocket, Xin Yun brought Yi Luo Xiang in the direction of the market.

Dragon stones could be completely absorbed, but it would not be considered part of one’s power and could not be used. It had to be refined before it could be considered part of one’s own power. While refining, there would be a very large portion that would be lost. Basically, this was equivalent to burning money, and a normal person could not afford to burn it.

Of course, not all dragons produced dragon stones. Normal dragons did not produce dragon stones. Only the leader of each group would produce a dragon stone in its brain, thus dragon stones had always been in short supply.

As a town with a population of two thousand that had hunting as the primary source of food, it had amassed a total of 50 dragon stones. This already proved how rare dragon stones were. That was why small towns did were not noticed by merchants. They would waste so much time, but they wouyld only acquire ten-odd copper one star dragon stones. This small amount of profit was not enough to cover the traveling costs.

But for Xin Yun, it was different. He only needed some start up funds. He did not need that much money. Although 50 dragon stones was a bit low, it also happened to be the limit of what Xin Yun could carry. It had to be known that although there were only 50 dragon stones, it was collected over half a year by Ju Mu village, and it was enough to help Xin Yun acquire a large amount of money.

Originally, Xin Yun did not think he could acquire this many, but it was very apparent that there had not been any merchants that arrived in the past half year. Thus, Xin Yun could be considered lucky, as it was his turn to earn a small fortune.

With the dragon stones in hand, Xin Yun rushed to the marketplace, but he did not sell them. Instead, he exchanged them at a rate of one to two for other dragon crystals of the same rank with merchants that sold dragon crystals in the marketplace.

In Xin Yun’s previous life, there was a rich guy who relied on this to start up his business. In a few years, he actually earned more than one million gold!

In different regions, people would have different abilities. This was what it meant when it is said that each area raises its own people. Near the desert, there would be more people with the sand attribute. Near the forest, there would be more people with the wood attribute. Near the ocean, there would be more people with the water attribute. At the same time, the opposing attribute in each area would be much lower.

This city in the plains was on a grassy plain, thus it was mostly green-earth attribute. The other attributes were seen much less, especially the grey-death attribute. It was practically non-existent. Even if there were, they were not from the area.

Thus, within the city in the plains, it was easiest to sell earth attribute dragon crystals, and their price was the most expensive. The crystals for other attributes were slightly cheaper. As for the death attribute crystals, it was not that nobody bought them, but the very few people who did buy them were completely negligible in regards to the market. The price was also the cheapest.

Xin Yun’s dragon crystals had been purchased for one silver each. In the city in the plains, it could sell for two silver. Thus… when Xin Yun mentioned trading crystals from all attributes for death-attribute crystals, how could anyone refuse? The price of them was also one silver, so it was a good deal for both sides!

For Xin Yun, 50 dragon crystals had been traded for 100 death-attribute dragon crystals, doubling the amount. This also meant the overall value had also doubled. As for the merchants, although they did not make any profit on this trade, it did resolve some of their inventory issues, and they no longer needed to worry about their liquidity.

Of course, Xin Yun did not trade in all of his dragon crystals with one merchant. In reality… he could only acquire ten or so from each merchant. Like this, he visited ten different merchants. Only then did Xin Yun finish trading in his dragon crystals.

When Xin Yun finished trading in his last dragon crystal, this time, he had seen a 100% profit. Also… most importantly, in the next place they would be visiting, the value of these death-attribute dragon crystals would be very high, and they would be very easy to sell! Its value was double what it was here!
