Chapter 16 Night Pearl

Jiang Ding walked into the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. Before he could take a look, he saw a well-dressed, pretty and pleasant maid approaching.

"Mr. Jiang, welcome to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. Please go to the second floor. The shopkeeper will be here soon." The maid said crisply as she led the way.

Jiang Ding was startled: "Do you know me?"

The maid covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Sir, Shopkeeper Long has repeatedly told you to call him to greet him as soon as he comes to the door. The slaves have long remembered it."

In the elegant compartment on the second floor, a cup of fragrant tea was already in sight. Jiang Ding sat down and stroked the hilt of his sword, not knowing what to think.

The maid stood beside her pretty.

After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps came from far to near.

Jiang Ding's eyes flashed.

Inner Qi realm warriors can already make their footsteps silent without affecting their speed, which seems a bit deliberate.

But even so, it's not a bad feeling to be respected.

"Mr. Jiang, I hope you will forgive me for missing your welcome from afar!"

As soon as he entered the door, Long San beamed with joy: "I have long wanted to visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing the young master's Qing Xiu. Today I finally get to see him again."

"Shopkeeper Long is too polite." Jiang Ding stood up and bowed slightly.

The two of them greeted each other politely and sat down.

"There is something... I really feel sorry for you, Master, and I dare not hide it."

There was a look of trepidation on Long San's face.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Didn't one of my servants introduce you to a steward a few days ago? It was originally very good. Steward Huang is a good person and good person, but I'm just a newbie here and I had to place some close friends to control the situation, so I introduced him through Huang Gui Here it is, thinking of helping you..."

"No, I discovered a major case of embezzlement of the Chamber of Commerce's property yesterday when I was inspecting the warehouse. Many managers were involved, and some colluded with outsiders. People with such bad conduct may be the source of trouble."

Jiang Ding's eyes narrowed.

Huang Deyou is now in charge of specimen collection. He has established channels and is doing a good job. If he is replaced, the progress of specimen collection will be delayed.

“How involved is he?”

"It's not much. Huang Deyou is the less greedy among them." Long San waved his hands repeatedly: "It's only more than twenty taels of silver. It's not much money, but its nature is too hateful. I hate to see this kind of cheating. Shit!"

Not a lot.

If they are from a poor family, this money will be enough for them to live for more than ten years.

Jiang Ding thought for a moment.

"The accounts must be recovered, and I don't like this kind of person. Besides, I still have use for this person. I also ask the shopkeeper not to resort to lynching. That's the end of it."

This is an internal matter within the chamber of commerce, and the government may not have any control over it.

Long San sighed: "Oh, I don't have the face to face the young master, so I will do as the young master says."

Huang must have a good life like this bitch, otherwise he would have to break both legs with his own hands.

Mr. Long dared to be greedy for money, and he became impatient with his life.

"I came here this time mainly because I have no money, so I came here to sell goods at the shopkeeper's place." Jiang Ding took out a palm-sized gift box and handed it over.

"I will definitely not let the young master suffer."

Long San's face was solemn, and he took the gift box. It felt delicate and soft, and seemed to be made of some kind of precious fur. This gift box alone was not cheap.

turn on.

"what"

Even though she had seen many treasures, the maid on the side still exclaimed uncontrollably.

Light, soft light.

In the gift box, a thumb-sized Dongzhu shines with countless rays of light, which is clearly visible even in the daytime.

"Close the window." Long San could still maintain his composure and said in a deep voice.

Jiang Ding thought thoughtfully. It seems that in this extraordinary low-level martial arts environment, luminous pearls are still very precious, but they cannot be said to be rare in the world. Maybe there are some spiritual materials that are born occasionally.

As for selling luminous pearls worth ten yuan a piece as treasures, does it hurt your conscience?
Of course it doesn't hurt.

The value of things varies from person to person. The value can be divided into labor value and commodity value. Moreover, even if it is not valuable, plus the long shipping costs in both directions, it is very reasonable to sell it at a high price.

With the window closed, white light filled the room, which was slightly dim, dimmer than a candle, but I could still see the words on the book clearly.

Long San took out the white cloth and gently wiped the pearl, and it was as bright as new. Then he used a magnifying glass, some kind of medicinal powder, etc., and used various identification methods.

"This night pearl is of average size, but its brightness far exceeds others. It is a rare treasure. Do you really want to sell it?" Long San asked solemnly.

"Sell." Jiang Dingyan said concisely.

"Pricing..." Long San pondered for a long time, then stood up and walked back and forth several times: "How about 1000 taels? This is the highest price our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has paid for non-cultivation goods."

"it is good."

"My son is refreshing!"

Long San was very happy. With this deal, his performance this year would be stable.

"But I don't just want money." Jiang Ding said calmly: "I need old and powerful medicines, preferably wild ginseng."

Ever since he reached a small level in "Eagle Takes Off Sword Technique", he no longer dares to exercise with all his strength, lest the depletion of energy and blood cause hidden damage to his body, he can only maintain his proficiency level.

The speed of cultivation is faster than before, but it cannot reach the level of quickly approaching the inner Qi realm.

Long San was not surprised. Most people in the world just like gold and silver.

"Come here, bring up all the old wild ginseng that is more than 40 years old." He turned around and said, "Young Master is open and bright. Long San won't say much. I will definitely give you the best price."

Soon, more than twenty mahogany square boxes were presented one by one by the maids.

Long San opened a square box: "Sir, please take a look. This is 40-year-old wild ginseng. The price is 120 taels. You can give me 100 taels."

Jiang Ding took the wooden box and carefully identified it according to the content taught in biology class. His technique was very professional and he had practiced it many times in the laboratory.

"Master Master!"

Long San praised.

He was young, good-looking, and polite to others. It didn't matter that he was so strong. He even learned so much in general knowledge. If he hadn't been trained by that high-ranking sect, he wouldn't believe him if he were beaten to death.

"The quality is very good."

After verifying all the items one by one, Jiang Ding raised his head and said, "Shopkeeper, just take the one with the highest vintage. Although my 1000 taels are a lot, I can't buy much."

"Sir, please take a look." Long San didn't waste any time and carefully opened the last wooden box: "After appraisal by a famous doctor in Fucheng, this 98-year-old wild ginseng was collected from Kyoto at a huge price. It’s only two years away from a century-old medicine.”

The tone was a little regretful.

Jiang Ding asked curiously: "Isn't there a century-old medicine?"

"Young master is joking."

Long San shook his head: "A hundred-year-old medicine is already the top medicine in the world. Its efficacy is not comparable to other medicines. It has some realm-breaking effects. Occasionally, there are transactions, and they are also transactions among the leaders of big families and gangs. They will not fall into the world. It’s from the market.”

"This is something with deep roots in power, and I have never seen it before."

Jiang Ding said regretfully: "That's it."

The so-called great medicine of so many years actually refers to the amount of pure spiritual power accumulated in the medicine. It can only be born in a spiritual environment. It takes a hundred years to reach a level. If it does not succeed, it will perish.

If there is no spiritual environment, even if it grows for hundreds of years, it will only be a piece of lignified wood, which is useless.

"This item is priced at one thousand, two hundred taels."

Long San said: "If you want it, Young Master, it will cost you 940 taels, and it will also come with a Silver Token from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. You can get a [-]% discount at any Four Seas Chamber of Commerce location."

"that's it."

Jiang Ding nodded, knowing that it was not expensive.
