I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 83: Time to Use Money

Qing blinked. He only knew how to kill and gather information; he didn't understand the "brilliant plan" that Shang Xiong was speculating about.

He doesn't need to understand.

"Somebody come!"

Shang Xiong shouted, and the attendants guarding outside immediately pushed open the door and entered.

"The vice president is here to meet with me."

Upon receiving the order, the attendant immediately withdrew, and before long, Vice President Yi Gong arrived.

"What do you want, President?"

"Go to the treasure vault and take 200,000 spirit stones, along with that treasured yellow-grade sword, and bring them all here!" Shang Xiong's "brilliant plan" was actually quite simple.

It all boils down to the word "interests".

Upon learning that the reward Jin Huang Bao Xing would give Qin Yi Yao was neither spirit stones nor weapons or magic treasures, but merely gold and silver used by mortals, he immediately had this idea.

Qin Yiyao was naive and inexperienced, and was deceived by the cunning and treacherous woman Feng Wuxin without even realizing it.

She didn't understand. She should have received at least 20% of the profits from the "Golden Spirit Liquid," but now Feng Wuxin wasn't even giving her half a share. This was blatant robbery!

but!

Qingfeng Baoxing would never do such a despicable thing.

When Shang Xiong personally led his men to the clinic and placed the spirit stones and the yellow-grade sword in front of the clinic owner, the clueless young girl who had never seen a lot of money was sure to be shocked and gasp in astonishment!

Then, Shang Xiong could take this opportunity to directly whisper a hypnotic message into Qin Yiyao's ear, telling her that the Golden Phoenix Treasure Company was sucking her blood and secretly hoarding the huge benefits that should have belonged to her, and that their intentions were despicable!

And then... that "Golden Spirit Liquid" should be put on sale in the shops under Qingfeng Baoxing.

A simple, clear, and sure-fire brilliant strategy!

The main selling point is authenticity and sincerity, plus a little bit of financial power.

Upon hearing that Shang Xiong wanted to take 200,000 spirit stones from the Baoxing Treasury in one go, Yi Gong was immediately startled and hurriedly cupped his hands, saying, "Guild Master, there are only 200,000 spirit stones left in the Baoxing Treasury! Why do you suddenly want so many? What's it for?"

Such a large treasure shop usually has more than 700,000 to 800,000 usable spirit stones in its vault.

Unfortunately, due to their cooperation with the mysterious man in black robes—he initially supplied a thousand bottles of Azure Spirit Liquid, with continued supplies to follow—Qingfeng Treasure Shop's price was to help the man in black robes find six kinds of medicinal herbs. He didn't want to find them himself, so he simply came to Qingfeng Treasure Shop, made a deal, and waited for the shop to deliver the herbs to him.

Four types have been found so far, and this has already cost Qingfeng Treasure Shop more than 400,000 spirit stones.

Therefore, Yi Gong knew that Bao Xing was actually in a bit of a predicament.

But Shang Xiong only gave him a fierce look and said in a deep voice, "Take it if I tell you to! Stop talking nonsense!"

You can't fight city hall. Seeing this, Yi Gong had no choice but to obey and carry out the order.

Soon, Yi Gong came in with two boxes of spirit stones and a long wooden box.

"They're all here, President. I want to know, what exactly are you planning to do..."

"You don't need to ask too many questions. I have my own plans." Shang Xiong waved Yi Gong away and then personally opened the two boxes.

Immediately, a rich and pure spiritual energy wafted over, instantly invigorating Shang Xiong.

The two boxes contained exactly two hundred thousand spirit stones.

Shang Xiong stared intently at the two boxes, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "Feng Wuxin, you're going to be killed by me halfway through your journey after all!"

These two boxes of spirit stones are enough to "persuade" the owner of the medical clinic.

……

Everything at the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop was running smoothly and efficiently.

Looking at today's revenue, Feng Wuxin's smile was like a blooming flower bud, becoming even more beautiful and radiant.

They made a killing!

Two thousand bottles of Golden Spirit Liquid were sold out in less than two hours.

According to her informant planted in Qingfeng Baoxing, the guild master, Shang Xiong, was indeed so angry today that he vomited blood due to the dismal state of his own shop, which was almost deserted.

So she was happier.

It's a pity that the old dog didn't die of anger, otherwise she would definitely open a jar of Daughter's Red wine and drink it all tonight.

"You seem happy."

Qin Yiyao sat opposite Feng Wuxin, fiddling with her nails indifferently, and glanced at her lightly: "Is it really worth being so happy about just eight hundred spirit stones?"

She knew, of course, that her "Golden Spirit Liquid" had caused a sales frenzy in Yunling City.

However, this wouldn't move her at all.

This victory was expected, so there was no surprise whatsoever.

Moreover, although selling five bottles of Feng Wuxin's medicine for two spirit stones is a huge profit, Qin Yiyao is not very satisfied. After all, the price is too low, and she spent two hours refining this medicine! Wouldn't it be better to use it for sword practice than for refining medicine?

"I'm not happy about the eight hundred spirit stones, but rather about the dismal state of Qingfeng Treasure Shop."

Feng Wuxin put down the ledger, stood up, stretched, and said lazily, "However, I hope Miss Yi Yao can bring out more Golden Spirit Liquid, preferably four times as much. As for the price... it can also be raised a bit."

Qin Yiyao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Three times, I guess."

She didn't want to waste so much time.

Feng Wuxin shrugged. "Miss Yi Yao has made the decision."

After she finished speaking, she snapped her fingers, and a maid from behind the door entered, placed a wooden box on the table, opened it, and inside were neatly arranged gold notes.

A total of one thousand taels of gold.

"This is gold for Young Master Gu."

Qin Yiyao glanced at it and closed the wooden box. "And... spirit stones for Miss Yiyao."

Feng Wuxin then took out a red jade tablet, engraved with the emblem of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Company, and placed it in front of Qin Yiyao.

"Here are 300,000 spirit stones. You can take them out at any of the places operated by my Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop."

Qin Yiyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and silently accepted it.

This is the real "reward".

That young master Gu lives in seclusion in the city, so this so-called "cooperation" is actually meaningless to him. The Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop branch, which is holed up in Yunling City, can't provide such a powerful person with any precious magical artifacts or treasures. He said he wanted gold, so he gave it to him.

But Feng Wuxin knew very well that this was not an "equivalent" cooperation at all.

Using ordinary people's money to obtain this "Golden Elixir" with such a promising profit margin is nothing short of deception.

So when Qin Yiyao came to her door and made her demands, Feng Wuxin accepted without hesitation. Some money should only be earned with a clear conscience.

"I hope we can continue to have a pleasant working relationship."

Qin Yiyao held the wooden box in her arms, preparing to leave.

"and many more."

Feng Wuxin called out to her.

"Ok?"

Qin Yiyao stopped and turned around. "Is there a problem?"

"Who exactly is that senior?"

Feng Wuxin asked this question very cautiously.

She really wanted to know just how strong Gu Heng was.
