Chapter 89 Selling Dan (Middle)
"By the way, Uncle, about the sale of Zhujidan, can the Ouyang family take over?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"This I need to discuss with the families of several other countries before it can be determined, after all, so many Jidan appearing at once will definitely cause a stir, my Ou Yang family alone cannot bear it, but I think the problem should not be too big." Ou Yang Tian Hong thought for a moment and replied.
"That's good, but I hope Uncle will give me a reply as soon as possible. You also know that our Zhang family is in urgent need of money now, so the sooner the better." Zhang Cheng said.
"This is no problem, I will gather those family members now and they should arrive in Huaxia country by tomorrow or the day after. However, if other families are allowed to participate, some of the benefits will fall into their hands!" Ouyang Tianhong replied.
"This I naturally know, can't let others work for nothing." Zhang Cheng nodded, he had thought of this point long ago. In these times, without the motivation of interest, who would do things for you for free?
However, ordinary benefits cannot move them, so I hope that these eighteen foundation pills can be taken out and given to the four major families. After all, money is just a number to them." Ouyang Tianhong replied.
"Alright then, let's do it according to Uncle's plan. But I'd like to ask, how many gold coins can one Foundation Establishment Pill actually sell for?" Zhang Cheng asked curiously.
"At current prices, a single Zhūjīdān costs 5 million Imperial Gold Coins, and this price is still rapidly increasing!" replied ōu Yang Tiānhóng.
"So much money!" Zhang Cheng was somewhat surprised, after all, the accumulation of Tianfeng Gate over ten years was only 200 million gold coins, while 50 million purple gold was equivalent to 500 million gold coins.
That is to say, one Zhū Jī Dān is equivalent to the wealth accumulated by Tiān Fēng Mén in twenty-five years, and also equivalent to two and a half years of revenue for Huá Xià Guó. And Zhang Chéng has fourteen of them, which is equivalent to three hundred and fifty years of accumulation by Tiān Fēng Mén, even if it's Huá Xià Guó, it would take thirty-five years of accumulation.
In other words, as long as these fourteen elixirs are sold out, the Zhang family can become a super-rich family overnight that even the Ouyang family cannot match.
"Is this money a lot? I don't think it's that much. You have to know that the Foundation Establishment Pill can only be refined by a Xian Shi, and generally won't be sold to ordinary people. They will only use it to exchange for some rare materials. But the Foundation Establishment Pill is the only one that can make a pre-heavenly boundary high-level cultivator break through their cultivation and truly enter the ranks of a true cultivator. So, I think it's fundamentally impossible to measure its value with money." Ouyang Tianhong was deeply moved.
If he could break through the innate boundary, even if he had to take out his family's ordinary property, he would do so without hesitation. It's just that this can't be bought with money.
"Hehe, maybe," Zhang Cheng said.
In fact, the reason he didn't take the elixir so seriously was that he had a cheating tool like the Nine-Turn Soul Cauldron. If it were someone else, they might not think it's worth that much money. They would hate to sell more of them.
After all, refining the Foundation Establishment Pill is not something that anyone can refine. Throughout the entire cultivation world, those who can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are basically just a few alchemy sects, and outsiders are completely unable to refine it.
Moreover, those who can refine the foundation-building pill, their success rate is not high either, at most one or two percent, and exceeding that would be extraordinary.
Moreover, the success rate of alchemy here is not to say that refining ten pills can successfully refine one or two foundation-establishing pills, but rather that the success rate of refining each pill is only one or two percent.
That is to say, the possibility of a furnace producing a successful elixir pill may be only one or two percent. Sometimes, even after working busily for over a month, it's still impossible to obtain a single finished elixir pill.
Moreover, Zhuji Dan's grade has reached the level of Fangji Ninth Grade, which is a connecting pill between upper and lower grades.
So, the refining of Zhu Ji Dan entirely depends on the operation of Qi. If the operation of Qi is good, it can be refined in a few days. If the operation of Qi is not good, it often takes several months or even more than ten years to refine one, which is why its price has always been high.
Of course, it's not just the foundation-building pill, other pills are also quite expensive in the secular world. Moreover, in the secular world, the foundation-building pill is already the highest-grade pill. If it were a spiritual grade, it would be absolutely impossible to appear in the mortal realm.
Because people who can refine spiritual-level elixirs are not short of money, what they lack is heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or cultivation methods and magical artifacts. They will only use elixirs to exchange for these things.
Zhang Cheng only needed to grasp one kind of elixir, and he could achieve 100% success in refining it. In other words, as long as he had enough time and sufficient materials, he could use the elixir to fill up an entire ocean.
So he naturally wouldn't think dan medicine is very precious.
"Alright, I won't stay here any longer. I'll go deal with this matter now. I believe it won't take a few days for me to determine whether or not it can be sold. At that time, I'll come back and tell you!" Ouyang Tianhong said.
"Uncle, no need to rush, we just got back, you and Qianyun have just met, it's a good opportunity for everyone to have dinner together, tomorrow is the same." Zhang Cheng replied.
"You're not in a hurry, but I am. In the past, it was hard to even think about meeting Zhu Ji Dan, and now he's actually coming to sell his wares. This is something that I wouldn't have dared to think about before. So, I won't be able to stay put for long. At most, after selling the medicine, we can gather together again." Ouyang Tianhong said excitedly.
"Zhang Cheng, don't stop my dad anymore. He's that kind of person. Once he gets excited, ten cows can't hold him back. Keeping him here is more painful for him than killing him, so just let him go!" Ouyang Qianyun said with a smile.
"It's still my daughter who understands me, haha!" Ou Yang Tian Hong laughed loudly.
"In that case, I won't keep Uncle Zhang back either. By the way, this is a Foundation Pill, I'll give it to you first. As for Qianyun's, I've already given it to her!" Zhang Cheng said as he took out a Foundation Pill and handed it over to Ouyang Tianhong.
"This is the foundation pill!" Ouyang Tianhong held the pill bottle and examined it carefully, this was his first time to observe the foundation pill at such a close distance, he couldn't help but feel: "Such a small grain of medicine actually has such a great effect, it's really amazing."
"Alright, hurry up and put it away, don't let others notice it. If you lose it, then go cry in a place where no one is around!" Ouyang Qianyun teased.
"You little devil, you dare to make such a joke. If I lose this foundation pill, it will be your curse, and I'll come after you." Ouyang Tianhong said ill-temperedly.
"Hehe, okay, I won't say anything else. Alright?" Ouyang Qianyun smiled and then said: "By the way, Dad, I have a storage bag here that I don't need to use anymore, so you can have it."
"Storage bags, are they what the Immortals use to store things?" Ou Yang Tian Hong asked in confusion.
"Yes, just a drop of your blood on it will do. I've already lifted the contract." Ouyang Qianyun said as she handed over a cloth bag to Ouyang Tianhong.
"Is this it?" In Ouyang Tianhong's eyes, this was just an ordinary cloth bag, vastly different from his storage bags. He asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I've used it for a long time. If you don't want it, then I'll take it back!" Ouyang Qianyun made a gesture to retrieve the storage bag.
"Hehe, who says I don't want it!" Ouyang Tianhong quickly brought over the storage bag and impatiently bit his finger to drop a drop of blood onto it.
In an instant, like a sponge absorbing water, the blood was directly absorbed by the storage bag, and then he felt a familiar feeling appearing in his heart.
With a sudden movement in his heart, the medicine bottle in his hand was put away into his storage bag.
Then his mind moved again, and the dan bottle came out of the storage bag again, repeating this process more than a dozen times, playing with great relish.
"Dad, stop messing around, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Ouyang Qianyun said with a somewhat embarrassed expression after glancing at Zhang Cheng and Zhang Fang.
"Ah, cough...". At this time, Ouyang Tianhong also realized that he had lost his composure, his old face turned red, and then he coughed a few times and said: "Well, I'll just go first, yeah, I'm going now!"
Having finished speaking, Ou Yang Tian Hong hastily left the room without waiting for Zhang Cheng and the others to respond, leaving them in a fit of laughter.
"Qianyun, I've known your father for quite some time now, and every time I see him, he's always got this face on, like someone owes him money or something. But I never thought your father had such...such a lovable side to him, haha..." Zhang Fang said, remembering Ouyang Tianhong's awkward expression, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
