Everyone seeks good quality at a low price, but sotis, Ye Zhen felt that expensive things must have their reasons, even if three Low Grade Thought Spirit Pills were nothing significant to him.
This interdiary called Big Ears did not have high cultivation, being at the Sixth Stage of Dao Entrance Realm. On the Primordial Continent, that was not much, and it was likely he was barely scraping by in the Chaotic Sky Island Market.
The still visible bruising on his face made that clear.
"How should I address you, Young Master? Please give a na!" Quickly, Big Ears got into his role. One had to admit, up close, this fellow’s ears were indeed quite large, yet also sowhat appealing.
Ye Zhen would not dare use his real na in the North Sea.
"My surna is Di, Di Kuohai!" Ye Zhen reported his pseudonym in mory of the Earth Core Fire Commander.
"Small one pays respect to Young Master Di. I wonder if Young Master Di is here to buy or sell at Chaotic Sky Island, and what do you wish to sell or buy? Small one can lead you to the right store!" Big Ears said.
"Where can I find Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects that can supplent origin power?" Ye Zhen asked directly.
The young Big Ears gave Ye Zhen a surprised glance, "Young Master Di, information on such treasures is beyond what we can know!"
Seeing this, Ye Zhen laughed and, without teasing further, said straightforwardly, "I have a batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to sell. I want to first check the selling prices here, then see the purchase prices, and finally make a decision!"
Having likely been accustod to the market dynamics of Chaotic Sky Island, Big Ears responded with a slight bow, "Young Master Di, more than one-third of the businesses on the island are buying and selling these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
I would need you, Young Master, to tell which Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures they are, so I can take you to the appropriate shops!"
"Red Yin Grass, Flowstone Vine, Three Flower Fairy Plum, Su Yeliu, just these four." Ye Zhen casually ntioned the herbal nas.
At this, the previously calm Big Ears revealed an expression of surprise, "These four Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are all rather rare. The first two are extraordinary items, rarely seen in the market, and the latter two, although present in the market, have many seekers but few sellers, making them highly sought-after.
"Young Master Di, how much of these four Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures do you have?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Big Ears saw Ye Zhen’s expression change, and quickly explained, "Young Master Di, don’t misunderstand. Small one just wants to recomnd the best trading places for you.
The four Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures you just ntioned, while rare and in demand, have relatively low prices in the market, sowhat below what one might expect.
If your supply is small, I can take you to so scattered stalls, where so Pill Masters intentionally hang signs to purchase Spiritual dicine, offering higher transaction prices, but their capacity to buy is quite limited.
If your supply is large, I can only take you to the big rchants, and how it’s transacted will be entirely up to you!" Big Ears said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen relaxed, not expecting Big Ears’s probing to an this, "In that case, take to those scattered Pill Masters to see what their prices are."
"Certainly, Young Master Di, please follow !"
The entire Chaotic Sky Island is a city of ultimate comrcial prosperity, making it not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is as precious as gold.
Various large and small rchants are spread across the southern, northern, and eastern parts of Chaotic Sky Island. The smallest western area is a market for setting up scattered stalls and a slave market.
The central area, occupying a quarter of Chaotic Sky Island, is completely a money pit of indulgence; whatever you want, you can find it there.
If you wish to sleep with an Enchantress Demon or Snake Demon, you will find soone willing; many affluent guests are ready to spend extravagantly.
In Big Ears’s words, the revenue from one day on Chaotic Sky Island is simply indescribable.
Not to ntion the ports, hotels, casinos, and the rents of various comrcial establishnts, even the scattered stall market in the western area generates inco that leaves Big Ears tongue-tied.
That scattered market requires a Mid-grade Spirit Stone to enter. Just entering the market costs one Mid-grade Spirit Stone, and setting up a stall requires paying one hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones for a spot.
According to Big Ears, just that scattered market has over a million people buying, selling, and scavenging daily, accumulating a revenue of one million Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
We have at least ten thousand stalls daily, whether buying or selling, which results in another million Mid-grade Spirit Stones in inco.
In that market alone, the daily revenue amounts to two million Mid-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to twenty thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones, which could purchase twenty thousand Low Grade Thought Spirit Pills.
And that’s just one day’s revenue.
How much is that in a month?
How much again in a year?
Yet, the inco from this scattered market is probably not even one-tenth of Chaotic Sky Island’s total revenue.
Throughout the journey, listening to Big Ears, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but feel enthusiastic.
If he could set up such a market himself, the wealth would be simply overwhelming...
However, Ye Zhen wisely suppressed this idea.
A market of this scale is not sothing just anyone can manage easily.
If Ye Zhen had a market of this scale in his hands now, he would likely end up dead in the street in the next instant.
The entity behind Chaotic Sky Island is said to be the current Dragon Lord of North Sea. In any case, no one dares to cause trouble here. Usually, there are several Realm King-level experts stationed here, with a group of Dark Palace Realm martial artists managing the place.
Only with the Dragon Lord of North Sea backing it can the Chaotic Sky Island Market continue to operate steadily.
Soon, Big Ears led Ye Zhen into the scattered marketplace. After paying the entry tax, Ye Zhen had an urge to turn around and leave.
There were too many people!
It was a sea of people, to say the least!
"Young Master, be careful, best to gather so spiritual power. There are many thieves with quick hands here!" Big Ears used Divine Soul Telecommunication to remind Ye Zhen.
"Thieves?" Ye Zhen was sowhat surprised, "My cultivation is only at the Divine Communication realm, but surely, even thieves can’t rob , unless they snatch by force."
"Young Master, you should still be careful. Those thieves have practiced a unique skill. Last year, even a Realm King-level powerhouse had their storage ring swiped here!" Big Ears said.
"A Realm King, how is that possible?" Now it was Ye Zhen’s turn to widen his eyes, "Besides, even if it was stolen, it can be found imdiately, right?"
"How to find it?"
"With this sea of people, how do you find it? Even if you lock onto the thief with your Divine Sense, once you use spiritual power to take action, it will definitely affect business here, and the experts stationed here will appear. Who dares to cause trouble?" Big Ears said.
Upon thinking about it, Ye Zhen realized such a situation was indeed possible. He imdiately followed Big Ears’ advice to gather spiritual power, especially protecting his storage ring.
To Ye Zhen’s astonishnt, just as he squeezed into the crowd, hands reached for him, most of which withdrew after encountering his prepared spiritual power.
But one hand, like a Spirit Snake, probed towards Ye Zhen’s vital point. If his vital point were heavily struck, the spiritual power protecting his storage ring would dissipate, giving their accomplices a chance to swipe Ye Zhen’s storage ring.
Unexpectedly, in the mont that hand swiftly aid for Ye Zhen’s chest, a small head suddenly erged from Ye Zhen’s bosom. It was one of the heads of the Nine-Headed Beast, which raised itself and engulfed the hand in its mouth.
With a crunch, a scream echoed out.
As blood spilled from the severed arm, Ye Zhen, along with Big Ears, had already dived deep into the crowd, leaving the thief screaming there without much attention from others.
After walking for a while, Big Ears glanced warily at Ye Zhen’s chest and said, "Young Master, they are all here. Look, there are nas of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures listed before their stalls. You can inquire one by one."
Indeed, there were quite a few stalls buying Red Yin Grass and Flowstone Vine.
The purchase price for Red Yin Grass was as low as fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones, up to one High Grade Spiritual Stone for the highest, offered by a Pill Master, at a staggering one hundred fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones per stalk.
This price delighted Ye Zhen imnsely. He knew that there were at least over a million stalks of Red Yin Grass within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
If all were sold, what kind of fortune would that be?
Although Ye Zhen understood that if all were sold, the price of Red Yin Grass would surely plumt, potentially halving, even if calculated at the lowest price of fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and the price dropped to twenty Mid-grade Spirit Stones per stalk, there was still plenty of profit.
It’s known that the current statistics on the True Profound Continent show that about fifty thousand stalks of Red Yin Grass are produced annually, and after the new dicine Field is established, the yearly production will surely exceed a million stalks.
This is just the yield and harvest of one kind of spiritual dicine.
Unfortunately, the purchasers here don’t buy in large quantities, with the most one buying only five hundred stalks. Ye Zhen sold five hundred stalks at the price of one High Grade Spiritual Stone and continued to sell two thousand stalks before getting completely fed up.
If he continued selling here, even guarding here daily might not allow him to finish selling the million stalks of Red Yin Grass he had, not to ntion the other piled spiritual dicines.
After spending two hours walking around, Ye Zhen roughly grasped the market for the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in his possession, then exited the scattered marketplace.
"Young Master, the trader I am taking you to now is one of the top ten ranked, most powerful businesses on Chaotic Sky Island. If you have a large quantity of goods, they should be able to handle it."
Under Big Ears’ introduction, Ye Zhen walked into a store nad Sky-reaching Trading Company.
"Shopkeeper, do you have Red Yin Grass here?" Ye Zhen inquired.
"Red Yin Grass?" The shopkeeper shook his head, "Currently, we’re out of stock, but in three months, a batch of a thousand Red Yin Grass will arrive. If you’re interested, leave the Spirit Stones, and collect them with a seal when the ti cos."
"How many Spirit Stones per stalk?" Ye Zhen asked.
The shopkeeper waved two fingers in front of Ye Zhen, "Two High Grade Spirit Stones!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhen nodded, "Shopkeeper, I have so Red Yin Grass on hand. Do you purchase them?"
"Of course, we purchase! How much do you have, and how much do you want to sell!"
"And the price?"
The shopkeeper waved one finger in front of Ye Zhen, causing Ye Zhen’s eyes to widen imdiately in the next instant!
