40 Treasures Exchange (Seeking Votes)

  "Do you want Qing Xin Wan?"

  Huang Zhang furrowed his brow, seemingly recalling something, and only continued after a while, "If I'm not mistaken, this kind of precious medicine hasn't appeared in the Jianghu of Pingzhou for over ten years. According to my knowledge, the last Clear Mind Pill that appeared in Pingzhou was kept by Iron Feather Yang, the leader of the Fire Cloud Gang, the largest gang in Pingzhou. Unless you can persuade Iron Gang Leader to hand it over, there's no way to find another Clear Mind Pill. However, since he keeps it for his own life, it's impossible for him to give it to outsiders."

  "Junior still wants to ask the elder, how much is the price of this Qingxin Pill?"

  "Haha, such a treasure has never had a fixed price. If only one grain is available, everyone will scramble for it, and even if it's sold for hundreds of gold leaves, it would be considered ordinary. But if there are dozens or hundreds of grains, then the price would be around twenty to thirty gold leaves."

  Huang Zhang laughed loudly and found Ye Qin's question interesting.

  Ye Qin roughly understood the market price of Qing Xin Wan and didn't mind the old man's joke. He took out a small dan bottle: "I happen to have one grain of 'Qing Xin Wan' that everyone in Jianghu is fighting for, I wonder how much money the elder is willing to pay for it?"

  Huang Zhang's loud laughter suddenly stopped, his face filled with astonishment: "Youngster, do you have a Qingxin pill in your hand?"

  Ye Qin bowed his head, as an apology: "Indeed, I do have a Clear Mind Pill in my hand and was looking for a buyer. However, since I wasn't sure of the price, I rashly made a probe, please forgive me, senior."

  "Oh, no wonder you're wearing a bamboo hat and don't dare show your face. It turns out that you have precious treasures on you. I was indeed blind today. You can deceive me one or two sentences, but I must first verify the goods in your hand."

  Huang Lao listened to Ye Qin's explanation, and instead of getting angry, he showed a few points of joy. After more than ten years, being able to see the Qingxin Pill again was undoubtedly a very pleasant thing for him as a precious merchant.

  Ye Qin flicked her wrist and tossed it, the small dan bottle drew an arc in mid-air before landing in the old man's hand.

  Zhenbao Bang's business relies entirely on reputation, and it has established a large business in Pingzhou. Although this Qingxin pill is a treasure, in the eyes of Zhenbao merchants, it is just a product worth dozens to hundreds of gold leaves. The elder of Zhenbao Bang would not ruin his reputation for a mere hundred-leaf gold medicine pill.

  Huang Zhanglao took the dan bottle, opened it, and poured out a green pill from inside. He first looked at the color of the pill, then used his fingernail to pick it up and carefully identified its scent, nodding in great satisfaction.

  "Not bad, the medicinal flavor is quite pure and rich, the pill is full and the quantity is sufficient. It's indeed a top-grade Qing Xin Wan, an excellent tonic medicine. Young brother, how do you plan to sell this pill?"

  Huang Zhanglao verified the goods and exchanged the dan bottle for Ye Qin. He had already treated Ye Qin as a customer, even changing the way he addressed him.

  "I am unclear about the rules of doing business with Zhen Bao Gang, please enlighten me, elder."

  "With this pill, little brother can be considered a merchant of my Treasure Alliance. I'll explain the transaction methods of my Treasure Alliance to little brother. My Treasure Alliance has three transaction methods."

  One is consignment auction, the seller sends the treasure to my Treasure Helper and then holds a public auction at the auction house. My Treasure Helper only takes a small portion of the commission from it. The price of the treasure, high or low, is completely determined by the auction house. After the auction is completed, Treasure Helper collects the money from the buyer and then pays the seller. This method takes a bit longer, after all, there aren't auctions every day. I estimate that every ten or more days, a small-scale treasure auction will be held in this Zhujici County City. If Little Brother has plenty of time and isn't in a hurry to use the money, you can use the consignment auction method to hand over this medicine to me."

  "What else?"

  "There's also a direct sale, if the seller is in a hurry to get rid of the goods, they can sell it directly to me, Treasure Helper. In that case, I'll pay cash on the spot. It's a win-win situation. However, the price will definitely be much lower than the auction price. The last option is treasure exchange. If the seller takes a liking to one of Treasure Helper's treasures, they can exchange their own treasure for it. Of course, they must use a more valuable treasure to exchange for a less valuable one. After all, Treasure Helper isn't a charity, we won't provide free and equal exchanges. Little brother, are you going to choose consignment auction, direct sale, or exchange this pill for other treasures?"

  Ye Qin thought for a moment and then made a decision.

  He then only privately traded with this Huang Changlao of Zhenbaotang, to the greatest extent possible hiding himself. The medicine hall in Takegawa County City was absolutely not a place where one could go to investigate high-ranking figures from the Zhenbao gang.

  The Medicine King Valley wouldn't bother to mobilize a large force to investigate such an obscure and nameless disciple.

  As long as you can't find the elder of Zhen Bao Gang, you won't be able to find it on yourself.

  As for the white jade embryo in Chunyu's store, he had already decided to give it up, lest he get burned. Since that was the case, he wasn't in a hurry to use the money either.

  The first method, consignment auction, takes too long and he doesn't have the time to wait for ten days or half a month. The second method, direct sale, is not what he needs - money. The third method, treasure exchange, is undoubtedly the best choice.

  What he lacks most now is a jade stone with spiritual energy, which is used for the second layer of cultivation in "Sitting Forgetfulness Sutra". Even small shops like Chunyu Shop have one or two pieces as their treasures. A big gang like Zhenbao should have such jade stones.

  Ye Qin made up his mind: "Let's make an exchange. Elder Huang, I'll trade this pill for a piece of jade from you. However, the jade must have extremely good spiritual energy; if it doesn't have enough spiritual energy, I won't want it."

  "Extremely spiritual jade?... My Treasure Association has a lot of jade, but I don't know if it meets the young brother's requirements. Why not follow me to the guest house, this time I came to Zhuxi County, brought a lot of treasures, maybe there are things that the young brother wants."

  Ye Qin nodded.

  Two men, one in front and one behind, left the alley and entered the luxurious inn where Huang Chang lived. To avoid suspicion, Ye Qin deliberately kept a distance of over a hundred steps away, waiting until Huang Chang had already entered the inn before he went in.

  Inside the inn, a young man from the Treasure Escort was already waiting. Seeing Ye Qin in his black clothes and conical hat, he immediately led him to a luxurious room on the second floor. As soon as Ye Qin entered the room, he felt several sharp gazes watching him vigilantly from the adjacent rooms.

  Ye Qin was slightly startled, but quickly relaxed, as the residence of the elder had many guards protecting it, which was a very natural thing, and not necessarily aimed at him.

  The old man Huang had already been waiting in the house for a long time.

  On a large, dark wood table were arranged dozens of small treasures: a sharp, blood-congealing dagger, golden silk inner armor, several high-level secret manuals, some rare formulas, some bottles and jars, as well as some items whose uses Ye Qin did not know.

  Huang Zhang took out several pieces of jade, a jade pendant and a bracelet from the middle, smiled and said: "The few small jades that Lao Fu always carries with him are all here. Little brother, take a look. If you don't like them, you can also choose one from other small treasures."

  Ye Qin's eyes swept over those jade stones, and her heart moved slightly as she picked up a green jade pendant among them.
