Destiny is ashes

Chapter 297 Purple Bright Gold Mace (23)

An Jing thought about the first batch of 4,700 good deeds and decided to save 3,000 good deeds as personal practice funds.

The remaining 1,700 good deeds will be used to purchase goods to be sold to Huaixu Realm, as well as to prepare the working environment and tools.

First, he spent 300 good deeds and raised funds with Huo Qing to buy a second-hand armored truck to travel between Chonggang Town and Xuanye City, so he no longer needed to borrow Tieshou's old friend.

Secondly, he purchased fifty finely forged black iron long swords, totaling seven hundred merits.

Twenty-five sets of mind-concentrating talismans and four hundred good deeds.

One hundred finely crafted jade-bottomed mirrors, five virtues.

These are the goods that An Jing plans to sell back to Tianyuan Realm.

There are reasons why An Jing chose these goods.

First of all, he had to maintain his image as a member of the Wilderness Sect, so the materials he chose couldn't be too strange.

In the Tianyuan Realm, the finely forged black iron long sword is a classic weapon that is popular in the wilderness. It is matched with the alloy shield that An Jing also likes to use. A skilled wilderness hunter only needs them to hunt ten monsters.

In the Huaixu Realm, the finely forged black iron long sword is considered an "elite weapon". Although it does not have any special effects, it is tough enough and extremely durable. There is no need to think about it. No matter whether it is Dachen or Chenli, there will definitely be someone who will buy it.

The Heart-Concentrating Talisman is a good thing that everyone needs, whether it is in the Tianyuan Realm or the Huaixu Realm.

As for the Jade-bottom Mirror, it was something that An Jing used to perfect the settings of the tribe behind him. After all, it was a civilian product, and one hundred mirrors alone would only bring five good merits. An Jing had no plan to make money with it, but rather use it as a 'small gift' for those who purchased his other products.

There were still 295 good deeds left. An Jing replenished some bullets in the sword box and spear, and also replenished a large number of thunder beads. Although the effect was not as obvious as in the early days, it was still a weapon that was enough to pose a life threat to the inner strong warriors.

What's more, An Jing had another idea.

Can [Defend against Five Weapons True Thunder] be used on bullets?
Even if not, what about the flying sword in the sword box?
They are originally disposable bullets and flying swords. If they can be blessed with the Five Weapons Thunder Technique, their power can be greatly enhanced!
The business of Tianyuan Realm is gradually getting back on track.

In the Huaixu Realm, An Jing is also a friend of Dachen who pays taxes steadily and never causes worry to the government.

Although Zheng Mo had always told An Jing that he had exempted An Jing's caravan from taxes, An Jing paid all taxes normally except the city entrance fee which he did not have to pay according to the rules.

What others give is a favor, and what you do is your duty. Now he gets the discount because Zheng Mo is on good terms with him, but in the future, if Zheng Mo leaves or he goes somewhere else, he will no longer get it.

Now it is much more important to develop the habit of paying taxes and understand the rules than a little money.

In addition, because 'Jingxuan' is ultimately a member of Chenli's own family, and Jingxuan is always very straightforward in paying, except for the prices that are too high, he always pays and delivers the goods, and never bargains, so many Chenli caravans are happy to trade with Anjing.

Because of the stable appearance and amazing quality, the black iron swords brought by An Jing were sold out in a short time.

An Jing also claimed that this was the weapon he used to chop off the heads of the True Demons, which gave these Chenli tribe's finely forged black iron long swords a lot more cultural value, attracting many warriors from the Chenli tribe to rush to buy them.

How much does a black iron long sword cost?
Haha! The answer is no silver! Only frost jade of equal weight will be accepted!

Black iron is considered a low-level spiritual object in the Huaixu Realm. It is placed on the same table as Frost Jade, but its price is lower.

However, the quality of the Tianyuan Realm's finely forged cold iron long sword as a weapon is better than that of ordinary industrial black iron. An Jing not only feels comfortable selling it at this price, but also feels it is very considerate.

Black iron is relatively heavy. A black iron sword weighs three pounds, which is thirty taels. A black iron sword requires thirty taels of cold jade... But even so, everyone who bought it felt that they had made a great deal.

The Northern Frontier is the origin of Frost Jade. If converted into silver, more than one hundred taels of silver can buy a finely forged black iron weapon that is strong enough to cut through the fur and shell of monsters. No matter how you think about it, it is a deadly profit.

And what about An Jing?

In Huaixu Realm, frost jade is worth 27 merits per ounce, while a black iron sword is worth 15 merits. 30 ounces of frost jade can be exchanged for 54 black iron swords. With a profit of 54 times, just these 50 black iron swords can make An Jing earn a huge fortune of nearly 40,000 merits!

Of course, if we deduct various taxes, various storage costs, platform cooperation fees and advertising fees, the money may shrink to around 32,000 merits.

If we also consider freight losses, bribery, sending samples as advertisements, etc.... this good deed may be reduced a little bit.

But An Jing didn't care: Did he lose money? Does less profit mean loss? He is not so petty.

However, it was impossible for An Jing to just throw 1,500 taels of Frost Jade directly into the market.

Xuan Ye City can certainly digest it, even if it is a hundred times or a thousand times, it can be easily digested. But the "wilderness sect" behind An Jing should not be able to take out a thousand taels of Frost Jade in one go.

This is basically equivalent to announcing that there is a medium-sized frost jade mine behind them, and will definitely be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

But even so, with 1,500 taels of Frost Jade in hand, which he could sell slowly over half a year... An Jing already knew that he wouldn't have to worry about money in the Tianyuan Realm in the short term.

As for the twenty-five sets of Mind-Concentrating Talismans, they did not enter the market at all, but were directly bought by the Dachen government, that is, Zheng Mo.

The True Demon Cult has been causing chaos in various parts of Xishan recently. The Heart-Concentrating Talisman has become a necessity for local government offices. Although Kanming City has theoretically survived this disaster, Zheng Mo plans to respond to the call from the Dachen Central Government and support the surrounding towns.

With the advancement of the magic weapon and this wave of response to the call, Zheng Mo should be promoted. At this time, officials can do anything, including using the government's inventory and stabilizing transactions.

Although it is called inventory, it is actually related to Shu Zheng, the former garrison commander of Kanming City.

"When Shu Shoubei was in office, he once applied to have a weapon cast for him."

This is Zheng Mo's original words: "Some time ago, the master craftsman of Tianyou City told me that the magic weapon had been forged and asked me to pay for it. I checked the process and found out."

"This is a pair of maces forged from 'Purple Shining Gold', four feet and two inches long, branded with the four-fold prohibitions of [Spiritual Power], [Heavenly Sun], [Persistence], and [Heavy Gold]. Adding to the solar platinum properties of the material itself, this is a great magical weapon that can be used by a Grandmaster without losing face!"

"Shu Shoubei was good at fists and short weapons. This should be the magic weapon he prepared for himself. Unfortunately, he has passed away... and there are not many people in Kanming City who can use it."

"It just so happens that I noticed that the weapon you used, Young Master Jing, was still an ordinary black iron long sword. Ah, I am not saying that the black iron long sword forged by your tribe is of poor quality. It is very good, but it is far from worthy of a young hero like you."

"Shu Shoubei is dead, and his magic weapon that was used for public accounts should be confiscated. I think that a precious weapon should be matched with a hero, and this weapon should be a gift from heaven to you, Young Master Jing!"

When he heard this, An Jing couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

——Coincidentally, magic soldier?

Although I do lack close combat weapons... isn't this just too much of a coincidence?
An Jing knew that he was destined to be king, but he didn't believe that his destiny would be so simple, direct and perfect.

What's more, others don't know, An Jing doesn't know yet, is Shu Zheng's weapon actually 'brass knuckles'? Although he is used to using brass knuckles, it is reasonable to use a long mace when necessary, but An Jing would rather be more suspicious.

The one who holds the life is a human being, so this must have been carefully prepared by someone!
As for who it is...

Ha, who else could it be related to Shu Zheng except the Tianyi Demon Cult!

But has his identity been exposed? Could it be that the Tianyi Demon Cult has discovered that Jingxuan is An Jing?
No...it shouldn't be that simple. It's another matter.

Although An Jing couldn't be sure, he believed that his identity should not have been exposed.

After all, if Jing Xuan's identity could attract the attention of the Western Tour Envoy, it wouldn't be surprising if it attracted the attention of others...

Perhaps the Northern Tour Envoy?

By the way, I was the one who saw Aunt Huai off to her final resting place. From the Northern Inspector’s point of view… maybe this was a kind of fate?
