"These slaves have survived dozens of battles, and they have all reached Kaiyuan Realm or above. Master Hua can pick some!" Chaganbala said reluctantly. Kaiyuan Realm is the main combat power level in any family. If the Hua family picks too many, the combat power of the prisoner-of-war camp will certainly be greatly reduced.
"Thank you very much. I feel good about this slave. Can we pick him?" Hua Kai looked at a young man at the front of the prisoner-of-war camp.
Qinggertai: Kaiyuan Realm 8th level
Qualification: B+
Constitution: 33
Strength: 28
Will: 36
Loyalty: 9
This slave should be one of the actual leaders of this prisoner-of-war camp, Hua Kai deliberately asked.
"Of course! If Master Hua likes him, he can take him away, but he is Kaiyuan Realm 8th level strength, and he needs 200 gold." Chaganbala said reluctantly. All slaves on the grassland have a price. Although his father said that the other party can choose slaves at will, he was also heartbroken when he saw Hua Kai choose the strongest slave in the prisoner-of-war camp at once.
"Thank you very much! And this... this..." Hua Kai randomly selected 4 slaves. These slaves were all of B-level or above, and their combat power reached the 4th level of Kaiyuan Realm or above.
Chaganbala's face fell all of a sudden. Hua Kai just casually opened his mouth and picked up all the best seedlings in his prisoner-of-war camp.
Hua Kai knew that he couldn't do things too much. The highest qualification in this prisoner-of-war camp was the slave named Qinggertai. There was no slave with A-level or above qualification that he wanted.
"Okay, the Hua family has limited funds. How much do these slaves cost? Let's go somewhere else and have a look!"
After hearing Hua Kai's selection, Chaganbala's face improved a little. If he was allowed to choose, the seeds left in the prisoner-of-war camp would almost be selected by him.
Hua Kai saw that the good slaves in this prisoner-of-war camp must have been selected by the Ordos tribe. The ones left were the slaves they didn't value very much, otherwise the other party would not be so generous, but he still had to do his best to show his face to the Ordos tribe.
"These five slaves are the best slaves in the prisoner-of-war camp. In a few years, they may all be freed from slavery and become members of the Ordos tribe. They are lucky to be selected by the head of the Hua family. According to the price of grassland slaves, the head of the Hua family only needs to give 850 gold for five people!" Chaganbala said as he took Hua Kai away from the core combat camp.
The strength of the following hundred-man slave teams was much worse than the first one. Most of them were in the late stage of the Tempering Body Realm. Hua Kai selected more than 10 young slaves with qualifications above level B along the way. Chaganbala gradually lost his smile.
Chaganbala could not believe why Hua Kai could pick the best slaves in the prisoner-of-war camp with just a quick look. They could not select all the slaves with good talents, and the tribe did not have so many resources to train them. After walking through more than 10 slave areas, Hua Kai had already selected more than 30 slaves. He saw that it was almost the limit that Chaganbala could accept, so he stopped the action.
"What's over there? Are they all women and children? Do they have to go to the battlefield to fight?" Hua Kai asked, looking at the more tattered tents in the distance. Many of the slaves there only had a piece of rag to cover their bodies, which was much worse than the treatment of the slaves here.
"That is also our prisoner-of-war camp. They are mainly responsible for logistics. They are no worse than these young and strong slaves on the battlefield. They are also responsible for the logistics of the entire prisoner-of-war camp. Master Hua can go over and take a look. The slaves there are cheap and you can pick as many as you want." Chaganbala saw Hua Kai was interested in the slave logistics camp next to him and hurriedly spoke.
There are mostly women and children there. The tribes on the grassland have a tacit understanding that women and children under the age of 12 cannot be killed at will in battle. Most of these people were starved to death when they were captured and arrived in the Ordos tribe. If they want to survive, they must learn to fight. The tribe will not easily raise waste.
When everyone in the Hua family heard that Hua Kai was going to the female prisoner-of-war camp to select slaves, they were still a little reluctant. The Hua family still has at least a thousand gold coins. It is not a problem to buy 200 or 300 strong slaves in the Tempering Body Realm from here. When they return to the Guangxian Merchant Corps, the Hua family can rely on so many slaves to become the largest village outside Guangxian City. By then, they can cultivate the caravan for a few years at home and become a noble family. Isn't it a natural thing?
Hua Xing, Hua Zichen and others roughly understood Hua Kai's intention. It is not the time for the Hua family to get carried away. Cultivating a good relationship with the Ordos tribe is more important than the immediate interests. Buying some women and children can bring the caravan closer to the Ordos tribe.
"What is the price of this girl?" Hua Kai just entered a slave team and saw a girl about 15 years old with a qualification of A-. This was the first time he saw a qualification above A in the prisoner of war camp.
"All the slaves here can be selected by the owner of the Hua family as long as he likes them. There is no need to spend money for less than 200 people. It is considered that I, Chaganbala, have made friends with the owner of the Hua family." Chaganbala said generously.
Hua Kai has just selected more than 30 people and has spent more than 800 gold. Female slaves are not worth much in the grassland. Any herdsman would buy 3 or 5 beautiful slaves. The good-looking ones can be sold for a few silver coins, and the ugly ones are not wanted for 50 bone coins. Giving Hua Kai 200 slaves is only a few dozen gold at most.
"How can that be? Fair trade, the Hua family will not give less than the market price. This and... this..." Hua Kai directly selected 6 slaves, including one female slave with a- qualification, four female slaves with b+ qualification, and a 10-year-old boy with b+ qualification.
Even if these female slaves cannot become the fighting force of the Hua family in the end, the children born by marrying with the people of Huajiabao can also have much higher qualifications.
Hua Kai will buy female slaves or children over 10 years old every time he passes a female slave camp. The people of the Hua family don't know him very well. It is very difficult to transport these slaves back to Huajiabao. Even if you want to buy them, don't buy so many directly!
Hua Kai was completely obsessed with selection. At least 60% of the tents in this prisoner-of-war camp were occupied by women and children. In just a short while, he selected more than 30 female slaves with A- qualifications. Among them, a 12-year-old female slave had an A+ qualification. He also found 7 or 8 A-qualified slaves.
And these slave children, many of whom were over 12 years old and would stand out in a few years. He directly selected more than 80 slave children over 12 years old, all of whom had B-level qualifications or above. It was not until the afternoon when the sun was about to set that Hua Xing could not help but call Hua Kai. If he did not speak, Hua Kai would definitely go around the entire prisoner-of-war camp.
"There are so many slaves already. Let's stop here today! Our main purpose this time is to select horses. If there are too many slaves, we can't take them all back." Hua Xing reminded Hua Kai.
"How many have you selected?" Hua Kai realized that there was already a large group of slaves standing behind him, at least more than 100.
"There are 160 people in total. If Master Hua wants to choose more, come tomorrow! My father just sent a message saying that Master Hua should come to his tent after he finishes choosing slaves." Chaganbala said with a smile.
He originally thought that Hua Kai chose female slaves and children to save his face, but he didn't expect that he was really a strange man. He looked only 12 or 13 years old and he chose hundreds of young female slaves at once. Could it be that he really matured so early? He was already thinking about women at such a young age? If so, if he wanted to win him over, could he start from this aspect?
Hua Kai certainly didn't know that the other party would think so much? He was still in the joy of choosing slaves. He bought horses and upgraded them to make money, but these people are the foundation of a family. With so many high-quality female slaves and children, the future rise of the Hua family has become inevitable. Unfortunately, he can't share this joy with others.
160 slaves were selected today. The Hua family caravan originally had 79 slaves. In this way, the total number of slaves in the caravan has reached 239, which is more than 4 times the number of team members. Looking at other camps that have not yet been completed, Hua Kai couldn't help but feel regretful.
Arrange grandfather to bring all the slaves back to his caravan and give them a good meal. These slaves are very thin. If they don't replenish enough nutrition before rushing home, it will be difficult for them to survive to Qi. Hua Kai can't let all the slaves get on the carriage. Most of them need to walk or ride horses by themselves.
When he came to the main tent of the Tiefa tribe leader, Hua Kai saw that there was only the Tiefa tribe leader in the tent. He looked at Hua Kai with a happy face, presumably the effect of [Peking Yuan Dan] was recognized by him.
"Haha! Master Hua, you are finally here! Come, this is the freshly killed mutton. I asked the chef to use Cordyceps to prepare it and just roast it. You can try it!" When the Tiefa tribe leader saw Hua Kai, he enthusiastically invited him to the second seat on the side, and Hua Zichen was also arranged to sit on the side.
"Thank you for the hospitality of the Tiefa tribe leader. Prince Chaganbala has been accompanying the Hua family today, and he also let the Hua family randomly select 160 slaves in the prisoner-of-war camp. The friendship of the Ordos tribe will always be remembered in the heart of the Hua family." Hua Kai replied politely.
"These are all small matters! Today I had someone take your elixir, and I didn't expect that the bottleneck would be broken so quickly. 300 gold is simply too much for this elixir. I wonder if there is the healing elixir you mentioned yesterday. A flag owner of the Ordos tribe was seriously injured in the battle with the Wuzhui tribe. If there is a healing elixir, it may be able to save his life."
It turned out that the leader of the Tiefa tribe invited him here today for this matter. Hua Kai thought to himself that perhaps it would be a good choice for the Hua family to establish a solid cooperative relationship with the Ordos tribe. As long as there are enough spiritual medicines, he can continuously refine elixirs and prepare a lot of spiritual medicines and strange stones. This is the most important thing for him now.
"There are still some elixirs. If the leader of the Tiefa tribe needs any special elixirs, let me know. Next year we will bring the goods according to the needs of the Ordos tribe." Hua Kai said.
"That's great, but the Ordos tribe wants all the elixirs that the Hua family caravan has now. Just tell us what you want to exchange. If the tribe can do it, we will satisfy you."
As an S-level genius, how could the Tiefa tribe leader not know what Hua Kai meant? He was also willing to establish a stable cooperative relationship with the Hua family, but the key was to seize the immediate benefits.
"Today I brought 10 [Rejuvenation Pills] and 3 [Condensation Pills]. The Tiefa tribe leader can buy one of each to try the effect. If the effect is okay, I have some more here." Hua Kai knew that the Hua family was valued so much by the Ordos tribe because the Hua family could produce elixirs.
"Oh! Can I see it?" When the Tiefa tribe leader saw Hua Kai take out another small wooden box, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was curious why Hua Kai had such good elixirs but why he used such a simple broken box. Wouldn't it be that the medicinal properties of the elixirs would be weakened if they were left in the air for too long?
Hua Kai's broken box was also made by someone taking wood from the carriage in the morning. Yesterday, the leader of the Tiefa clan generously asked for 7 [Peeling Yuan Pills], because he thought that was all the pills Hua Kai had. Now that the two sides are going to be partners, the price of the pills has to be determined.
"[Rejuvenation Pill] 260 gold per pill, [Dew Condensation Pill] 350 gold per pill." Hua Kai gave the appropriate price in his mind. If it were placed in Linzi City, the price would not be much cheaper than this, and there is no market for it.
"Is [Dew Condensation Pill] so expensive?" The leader of the Tiefa clan stood up and came to Hua Kai, took a [Dew Condensation Pill] and put it to his mouth and smelled it gently, then quickly closed the box, and then closed his eyes and gently felt the smell of the pill.
"Not bad! It should have a calming effect. This kind of pill should be relatively rare. According to the price you said, a total of 4,000 gold coins, what goods do you plan to exchange for it?" The leader of the Tiefa clan looked at Hua Kai and asked.
"It would be best if we could exchange them for spiritual medicines. You know that it costs a lot of money for alchemists to make spiritual medicines. If we can exchange them for a large amount of spiritual medicines, we can save the trouble of going home to buy spiritual medicines, and we can be more concealed on the road." Hua Kai said, and Chief Tiefa nodded slightly. With the scale of the Hua family caravan, it would be a big loss if they could bring back 500 horses. Besides, they bought so many slaves today. It would be best if they could bring back spiritual herbs, high-grade animal bones, and animal skins. "There should be a lot of spiritual medicines in our tribe's warehouse. I will take you to choose tomorrow. If this medicine works well, I hope you can provide us with more of them, or you can recommend that alchemist to the Ordos tribe... I said too much, please forgive me, Mr. Hua!" Chief Tiefa said halfway and saw Hua Kai bowed his head and said nothing. He knew that he had said it. How could a small Ordos tribe win over an alchemist? He was at least in the innate realm. What could he bring out to make him fancy? The meal was quite harmonious. Hua Kai only had 4 [Rejuvenation Pills] left from the pills he refined last night in less than a day. Hua Kai still had 6317 gold goods to choose from in the Ordos Tribe. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited. Even if he took so much money back to Huajiabao directly, the family's strength would be greatly improved. Besides, he would never be satisfied with just the profit of more than 6,000 gold. With this [Strongest Family System], how could he not use it?
When they returned to the caravan at night, everyone was in a good mood. Hua Kai said that they could buy and sell freely in the Ordos Tribe. He wanted to replenish all the slaves' bodies in the shortest time. The caravan's goods had been sold out. Now everyone had nothing to do, just resting and eating. No one in the Huajia caravan thought that they could still do business this year. This was not suffering, but clearly enjoying.
