Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Xu Hao arrived at Ruyi Building, the largest merchant house in Qilan City.

Ruyilou held the same status in the Mingyue Immortal Dynasty as Wanbaoge in the Daqian Dynasty. Ruyilou's branches were spread throughout the cities large and small of the Immortal Dynasty, making it incredibly wealthy and unshakeable.

Xu Hao went directly to Manager Wang of Ruyi Restaurant. Manager Wang was slightly overweight with small eyes that narrowed to slits when he smiled, giving him a very approachable appearance at first glance.

"What business do you have with me, young man?"

Xu Hao said directly, "I want to buy the communication jade slips, as many as you can get."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang instantly lost interest. The price of the communication jade slip was not high and the profit was not large. If he were to be approached for such a business, it would be a waste of his time.

But upon hearing the last sentence, I instantly became interested. I'll buy as much as you have. Only someone with real financial means could say something like that.

Shopkeeper Wang abandoned his initial disdain and simply explained, "There are two types of sound transmission jade slips. One is the most common type, which allows sound transmission within a hundred miles, and costs ten mid-grade spirit stones. The other type is slightly more expensive, allowing sound transmission within a thousand miles, and costs ten high-grade spirit stones."

The immortal realm is rich in spiritual energy, so the purchase volume of low-grade spirit stones is generally low. Mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones are usually used as currency, and sometimes top-grade spirit stones are used as well.

In the Tianyuan Realm, top-grade spirit stones are strategic resources. They are not used to purchase items of the Saint Realm level.

However, the Immortal Realm is different. The Immortal Realm has even more precious spirit stones than top-grade spirit stones. Therefore, obtaining top-grade spirit stones in the Immortal Realm is far less difficult than in the Tianyuan Realm.

Xu Hao asked, "If I wanted it now, how much could you raise in a short period of time?"

Shopkeeper Wang replied, "The ordinary ones cost over a thousand, while the expensive ones cost around a hundred."

Because the demand for communication jade slips is so limited, Ruyi Tower did not prepare many communication jade slips.

We had to temporarily transfer some from other cities to gather this much.

Xu Hao said decisively, "Okay, I'll take them all. I wonder how long it will take to get them?"

You should know that a communication jade slip that can be bought for ten mid-grade spirit stones in the Immortal Realm is an item that only appears at large auctions in the Tianyuan Realm.

The kind that can be bought for ten high-grade spirit stones has never appeared on the market before. Once it does appear, it is fiercely contested by various major forces.

The price difference between the two is normal. After all, for a slightly stronger cultivator, a hundred miles is enough to transmit sound directly without needing a jade slip.

Only jade slips capable of transmitting sound over a thousand miles have higher value.

Manager Wang was a well-traveled and knowledgeable man, and he was not surprised at all. After thinking for a moment, he gave a reply.

"If you have nothing else to do in an hour, you can have a cup of tea in our VIP room upstairs while you wait."

Xu Hao nodded and took out some spirit stones as a deposit.

Manager Wang didn't care about the deposit; after all, in the Bright Moon Immortal Dynasty, no one dared to joke with their Ruyi Tower like that.

Xu Hao was drinking spiritual tea in the VIP room upstairs, and he was surprised.

"You know what, the spiritual tea from the celestial realm is exceptionally delicious."

The market is huge! He can move so much stuff.

Fortunately, Xu Hao had a plan and was prepared to proceed step by step.

Before an hour had passed, Manager Wang arrived.

"Brother Xu, here are the communication jade slips you requested. There are 1,050 in total for the 100-mile range. Consider the 50 slips a gift to you, and the 100 slips for the 1,000-mile range. Please check if the number is correct."

Xu Hao waved his hand casually, "I believe Ruyi Tower wouldn't joke about its own reputation."

He took out a pile of high-grade spirit stones, and the transaction was completed.

"Brother Xu is straightforward," Manager Wang said, still enjoying doing business with people who were decisive and efficient.

Xu Hao asked, "If I still want the communication jade slips, I wonder how many more Ruyi Tower can offer?"

The Tianyuan Realm has thousands of continents, a huge market. These few transmission jade slips are simply not enough to sell.

This puzzled Manager Wang. People often bought communication jade slips, but they usually bought them in small quantities. He had never seen such a large demand for them.

However, that's a customer's secret, and even if he's curious, he won't think too much about it or ask too many questions.

"If you want more, wait about five more days, and you can gather three times the quantity for this transaction."

Xu Hao raised an eyebrow. Ruyi Tower was indeed not simple; it had real strength.

"Okay, then see you in five days."

Manager Wang saw him to the door and watched him leave. Although he was curious, he didn't have any particular thoughts. They were Ruyi Tower, which had branches all over Mingyue Immortal Dynasty, not some small workshop.

Xu Hao wandered around the city for a while before returning to his courtyard. He didn't go inside, but instead began cultivating in the courtyard.

The spiritual energy here is just as abundant as that of the Xu family, and may even be purer.

Therefore, Xu Hao usually cultivates here after finishing his business with the Xu family.

After waiting for five days, Xu Hao returned to Ruyi Tower and completed the second transaction with Manager Wang.

After this, Xu Hao didn't ask for more; that would be too conspicuous, and it was better to wait a little longer.

Besides, there are already enough of these communication jade slips; let's sell them all first.

Xu Hao returned to the Xu family through the double portal, found Xu Qingzhou, and gave him the communication jade slip using the same excuse.

Xu Qingzhou tacitly accepted a large number of communication jade slips, and then gave Baili's communication jade slips to Yu Shufei, asking her to sell them one by one through Wanbaoge.

Wanbaoge could take this opportunity to launch an event, such as limiting the daily supply of communication jade slips, and giving priority to those who spend a certain amount at Wanbaoge or Zuixianlou the chance to purchase communication jade slips.

Of course, you can also buy it directly, but you need to make a reservation and pay double the price.

The most important thing is the pricing: a hundred-mile transmission jade slip worth ten mid-grade spirit stones in the Immortal Realm.

Yu Shufei checked and found that the average transaction price of the Hundred-Mile Transmission Jade Slip at auctions in various parts of the Tianyuan Realm was one thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Therefore, Yu Shufei directly set this price.

This price is enough to buy a jade slip for transmitting sound over a thousand miles in the Immortal Realm.

This is the principle of scarcity increasing value.

In this way, through buying and selling, and with a single jade slip that could transmit sound over a hundred miles, the Xu family earned 999 mid-grade spirit stones.

Xu Qingzhou had already told Xu Hao that he would receive 60% of the profits from the communication jade slip.

After all, the previous pills still required the Xu family to find spiritual herbs and the Xu family's alchemists to refine them, so the Xu family kept 80% and gave 20% to Xu Hao.

The Xu family simply took the jade slip and sold it without putting in much effort; forty percent was already a lot.

This was at Xu Hao's insistence; initially, Xu Qingzhou wanted to give him 80%.

In fact, Xu Hao gave all the communication jade slips to Xu Qingzhou not just so that the Xu family could make some money, but also because it would be troublesome and time-consuming for him to sell them himself. Giving them to Wanbaoge and giving up a portion of the profits would allow him to sit back and collect money directly, which was much better.

Yu Shufei did not sell all four thousand jade slips containing the ability to transmit sound over a hundred miles at Wanbaoge.

After all, scarcity drives up prices. If all of them were released at once, the price would drop, and they might not all be sold.

Yu Shufei took out a portion of it and traded it with partners in other continents.

For example, the Ancient Moon Dynasty in Lizhou and the Purple Origin Holy Land in Qingzhou.

They need the jade slips for transmitting sound, the Xu family needs the five elements spiritual objects, and they need rare and precious materials for refining various elixirs, so this way everyone gets what they need.

As for the four hundred jade slips for transmitting messages over a thousand miles, some were used for various transactions with them, some were given to allies, and some were kept for auction by Wanbaoge's auction house in the future.

The division of pills and communication jade slips alone allowed Xu Hao to accumulate a large amount of resources.

While searching for more suitable ways to make money in the Immortal Realm, he also purchased various resources and worked hard to cultivate, attempting to break the curse that the Ancient Sacred Body was difficult to grow in the present era.

And so, another four years passed.

At this time, Xu Hao had cultivated for ten years, and his realm had reached the perfection of the Purple Mansion Realm, only one step away from the Primordial Spirit Realm.

His cultivation speed is indeed very fast compared to ordinary cultivators, but much slower compared to the Xu family's Hidden Dragon Guards.

However, with his powerful Ancient Sacred Body, even cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm are no match for him.

Among those of equal cultivation level, apart from Xu Muge and Xu Ying, who possess immortal bodies, Xu Hao is the strongest in the entire Tianyuan Realm. Even Qu Wubing, who has the bloodline of a battle immortal, is slightly inferior.
