Chapter 162 - 53: Dark Techniques Trade_2
But in Yue Jinghua’s eyes, those hundreds of thousands of Dark Pills were just like passing clouds - today they came into her hands, tomorrow they would be passed on again.
She didn’t know if it was because she looked too much like a fat sheep, but lately, her subordinates, one by one, were spending money extravagantly—almost lavishly.
First, Hong Yao kept sighing, complaining that the recent stock of Elixir Pills at the pharmacy were incomplete and insufficient, with no inventory left, hoping that Yue Jinghua would sympathize with the vast needs of the mercenaries, urging her to diligently practice Alchemy, to make more and better Elixir Pills.
Yue Jinghua was forced to refine pills for a day and a night before Hong Yao, contented, finally left with a pile of Elixir Pills.
Just as Yue Jinghua hadn’t recovered her Yuan Qi, Shalman came knocking at her door.
Ever since Shalman successfully bred an Ancient Dark Beast (which Yue Jinghua didn’t want to admit), her confidence had soared.
She wished to renovate the Beast Breeding Well, expand the breeding area and the types of creatures bred. In short, she needed a fresh investment of Dark Pills. She had her hopes set on Yue Jinghua, who was raising an army of Dark Beasts, so naturally, Yue Jinghua wouldn’t skimp on her expenses.
And the troubles didn’t stop there; even the small boy Yue Chen, who normally stuttered when he spoke, had indirectly, through Hongling, withdrawn a sum of money for the purchase of spirit wood.
Having no other choice, Yue Jinghua once again entertained the idea of selling Dark Techniques, and so she handed over the Dark Techniques she had transcribed from the Xuanji Academy’s Xuan Technique Pavilion, for Xie Yu to sell.
"The list of sold Dark Techniques is here, amongst them the prices for two types of Dark Heavenly Dark Skills are the highest, reaching two hundred thousand Dark Pills each. In a trivial place like Shang Kingdom, even an Initial Stage Dark Heavenly Dark Skill could attract a throng of followers. As for the other Dark Techniques, the price decreases the lower the technique. But there’s one amongst them that I personally think you should keep, so I didn’t go ahead and sell it," Xie Yu was a crafty and sly character, yet his handling of matters was impeccably organized and beyond reproach.
Friendship aside, he had already taken a thirty-percent commission from the proceedings.
