I Have Some Rare Treasures Here. Would You Like Them?

Dai Mubai said, "The Star Luo Empire is willing to offer three million."

The Star Luo Empire's national strength was not inferior to that of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Not long ago, they had allocated a large portion of their tax revenue to have Yu Tianheng purchase warships on their behalf.

Now, the national treasury was nearly depleted.

Three million gold coins were already their limit.

Purchasing so much at once was, in fact, an attempt to transport these Fire Spirit Chickens back to Star Luo for thorough research.

This would allow them to eventually produce and sell the chickens themselves in the future.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect offers two million," Ning Fengzhi raised his hand and said.

As one of the three great sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth could rival that of an empire.

However, the sect had few disciples and did not need so many Fire Spirit Chickens for cultivation.

Watching everyone bid one after another, Yu Yuanzhen felt the most bitter.

Having treasures but being unable to purchase them was a deeply frustrating experience for him.

"No, I can't let such a great opportunity slip away," Yu Yuanzhen thought, his expression flickering.

If he couldn't do it openly, he could secretly negotiate with Ye Tian.

He could offer a higher price—surely Ye Tian wouldn't refuse to sell.

After everyone had finished bidding, Ye Tian smiled leisurely and said:

"As you all can see, the Fire Spirit Chickens offer the highest cost-effectiveness for cultivation."

"I also have some precious medicinal herbs purchased from overseas."

"If these herbs are brewed together with Fire Spirit Chicken soup, the auxiliary effects of cultivation will be doubled."

"Would anyone be interested?"

The herbs were indeed good, but they weren't actually purchased from overseas.

They were all grown on the farm over the years.

Now that they had encountered these wealthy patrons, it was the perfect opportunity to offload the old stock from the warehouse.

"There are such miraculous herbs?" Prince Xue Xing turned his head in surprise.

The chicken soup had already amazed him, but he never expected there to be something even more extraordinary!

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Dai Mubai's pupils also contracted.

He knew all too well the effects of rare treasures!

If it weren't for Tang San gifting him some rare treasures back at Shrek Academy, he would never have achieved his current level of cultivation.

To think that Ye Tian actually had such herbs in his possession.

He had to get his hands on them!

Masking his excitement, Dai Mubai said calmly, "Name your price."

Prince Xue Xing glanced at Dai Mubai with a smile and said:

"Regarding these rare treasures, let's not compete."

"How about this: the Heaven Dou Empire will take 50%, Star Luo Empire will take 30%, and the remaining 20% will go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Then, he turned to Ye Tian with a smile:

"As for the price, let Ye Tian decide. I trust Ye Tian won't cheat us."

"I agree," Dai Mubai nodded.

For Star Luo Empire's size, 30% was indeed a bit small.

But given that they would be discussing the assassination incident in the afternoon, and as the party at fault and in a weaker position, they had no choice but to go along with Prince Xue Xing's wishes.

Ye Tian waved his hand lightly: "Your Highness jokes. After all, I am friends with Crown Prince Qinghe. I wouldn't blindly set a price."

"These rare treasures actually only amount to a little over a thousand pounds."

"They were purchased years ago when my men were out fishing and came across a lost overseas merchant ship."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was the most shocked.

Rare treasures being measured by the pound...

How extravagant!

It's just a pity that it had nothing to do with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon .Clan

Prince Xue Xing was slightly stunned: "That much."

Rare treasures were always worth their weight in gold. A thousand pounds would likely be equivalent to a year's tax revenue for the Heaven Dou Empire.

Such a large quantity was beyond his authority to decide.

"Haha, Your Highness jokes."

Ye Tian waved his hand: "This small amount is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Your Highness."

Then, he began playing dumb.

"I only know the effects of these rare treasures, but I have no idea about their names or ages."

"In fact, I'm not even sure of their value in the spirit master market."

"Since you all are sincerely interested, and they're of little use to me, I might as well sell them all."

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Tian looked up and said:

"How about five million gold coins for a thousand pounds of rare treasures?"

A thousand pounds was only two seasons' worth of production at Butterfly Farm.

If cultivated on a large scale, ten thousand pounds a year would be no problem.

But scarcity drives value, and Ye Tian had no plans for large-scale cultivation.

"A thousand pounds for five million?" Prince Xue Xing repeated in surprise.

This price was too low!

If what Ye Tian said was true—that brewing these treasures with Fire Spirit Chickens would double the cultivation effects—then this was an incredible deal!

Thinking this, Prince Xue Xing smiled.

Ye Tian was indeed a young fool who had no idea of the true value of these rare treasures.

In his hands, these treasures could easily sell for twenty million gold coins!

This was practically a guaranteed profit!

As long as he secured 50% of the treasures, the Fire Spirit Chickens he purchased would essentially be free!

What a bargain!

"What, does Prince Xue Xing find it expensive?" Ye Tian frowned.

"Haha, when this prince speaks, his word is final."

Prince Xue Xing said cheerfully.

"Since I already let you set the price, I won't go back on my word."

He turned and waved to his secretary: "Quick, fetch pen and paper. I want to draft the purchase contract now!"

Prince Xue Xing was afraid Ye Tian might change his mind and wanted to sign the contract on the spot.

Hearing this, Ye Tian was more than willing.

A single meal had earned him sixteen million gold coins.

It was worth being forced out of his home during the New Year.

Sitting at the head of the table, Qian Renxue secretly calculated the amount of gold coins Ye Tian had just earned.

She couldn't help but be startled.

Sixteen million gold coins were enough to fully arm a hundred-thousand-strong army.

Even the mighty Heaven Dou Empire's annual tax revenue was only around seventy to eighty million.

Ye Tian was indeed as rich as an empire!

At this moment, she felt a pang of regret for not having gotten to know Ye Tian earlier.

With the wealth he possessed, he could have been a tremendous help in her plot to seize the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Unfortunately, he had already been taken by her sister.

Qian Renxue's gaze flickered with a hint of disappointment.

At their core, both she and Bibi Dong were striving for the ultimate goal of the Spirit Hall, but they were also competitors.

Take, for example, the Spirit Hall's ongoing 'Soul Hunting Plan.' Once executed, it would undoubtedly be fatal to her undercover mission.

Her ten years of undercover work could be ruined in an instant.

It was this competition that kept Qian Renxue's nerves constantly on edge, never allowing herself a moment of relaxation.

She had to prove herself through hard work—prove to Bibi Dong that she was no less capable than anyone else!

As she pondered, her shoulder suddenly felt a weight.

"Crown Prince, what are you thinking about?"

Qian Renxue looked up to find Ning Rongrong smiling at her.

"Is something wrong?" Qian Renxue responded with a professional smile.

Ning Rongrong pointed outside and whispered:

"My father is looking for you."

Following Ning Rongrong's direction, Qian Renxue noticed that Ning Fengzhi had stepped outside while Prince Xue Xing and Dai Mubai were busy drafting the contract.
