179 An honest transaction?

After seeing the 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin right in front of her, it would be wrong to say that Jin Ying didn't have ideas on killing Li Si whose cultivation was only in the Qi Sovereign and steal it all for herself.

But, with the possibility of becoming famous across the entire Mainland by legally buying them, Jim Ying chose to not do anything stupid like steal from Li Si.

Especially when everything about him was a mystery right now.

Regaining her cool and not showing emotions of shock any longer on her face, Jin Ying asked with a smile, "How would you like to sell this Crystal Yin, honoured guest? We have an auction coming up in less than two weeks, and if you choose to sell it during that time you'd be able to obtain a higher price than what I can offer to buy it right now."

Acting as if he was thinking, Bai Long said, "I'm too busy to come back here, if like to sell it right now."

"Oh.. "

Feigning disappointment when she was actually very happy with this decision, because this way the excess money obtained from seeping the Crystal Yin would belong to her, Jin Ying said, "The market price for Crystal Yin right now is 64 Qi Stones for every one kg. But since you are selling so much, we'd like to offer you 70 Qi Stones for every one kg."

Nodding his head on the outside when he was actually smirking in the inside, how could Bai Long believe the woman who was acting as if she was taking a loss?

Being an item which was even bought at twice the cost as long as there was enough quantity of it available, Bai Long wouldn't be surprised if the market price itself was around 80 Qi Stones.

The currency in the Mainland was not made using any precious metals like gold, silver, or any of the others.

Instead, they were made using a special material which was formed of concentrated Qi. In simple words, the currency was made from rocks which were mined out of special Qi enriched mines inside which Qi had taken a solid form.

Qi Stones was the lowest grade of them. They were the stones which after being lined were being used in the same form. Each of them was of a different shape while being a handful in size.

Above them were Qi Bars which were made by refining multi Qi Stones, a hundred of them to be exact and then shaped it like a rectangular bar which made it look like a brick.

Due to this, the truly rich and strong cultivators used Qi Bars to build their own houses.

Even greater than Qi Bars were Qi Crystals which were a hundred Qi Bars liquified and then completely refined again and again until there wasn't a single impurity left inside them before turning it into a small nail sized crystal.

As for the currency which was valued the highest in the entire Mainland, it was Qi Coins.

With a hundred Qi Crystals fused together to form a single Qi Coin, there was nothing else which could rival against their value.

And regardless of which currency a cultivator had in his hands, all of them could be used by them to absorb Qi and use it to cultivate.

This was what gave the Qi currency a greater value than precious and costly metals.

"That brings us to a total of 5,040,000 Qi Stones to purchase all the 72 tonnes Yin Crystals."

"In which form would you like to receive the payment, honoured guest? Qi Stones, Qi Bars, Qi Crystals, or Qi Coins?"

From having heard of the auction which was going to happen pretty soon, Bai Long had made up his mind to spend everything he obtained to buy all the items.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation he said, "I'd like to take Qi Coins if possible, and Qi Crystals if not."

Nodding her head, Jin Ying said, "If you want Qi Coins you will need to wait for a day or two because this branch of Pheonix Pavilion doesn't have any Qi Coins right now. But if Qi Crystals are acceptable, I can give them to you right away."

"Okay. Qi Crystals it is."

Smiling happily because this meant that the deal was almost done, Jin Ying asked Bai Long to come with her as she personally filled a spatial ring with 550 Qi Crystals before giving it to him.

"It should've only been 504 Qi Crystals, but since you've sold us such a huge amount of Yin Crystals directly I decided to add a little extra."

'Add a little extra my ass. Do you think I don't know how much you plan on selling all of this for?'

If Bai Long wasn't wrong, he guessed that Jin Ying had planned on auctioning the entire 72 tonnes of Yin Crystals as a single batch and she'd set the starting price itself at 1,000 Yin Crystals.

He, however, didn't mind this in the slightest and instead smiled sinisterly on the inside.

Passing by the happy Su Xing, Bai Long said, "I suggest you take your commission and run away from here as soon as possible."

If the woman followed his words or not was something that Bai Long didn't care much about. The only reason he warned her was because of how good he felt from scamming the Pheonix Pavilion.

At the same time, Bai Long began thinking about how nice it would be to personally see what would happen after two weeks would pass.

Who knows, if everything went smoothly and the universe was in the mood to play a joke with Jin Ying, the 72 tonnes of Yin Crystal he sold her might reveal their actual appearance right in the middle of being auctioned.

Just thinking about all of this was filling Bai Long with a desire to start laughing loudly in the same way that villains did after doing something like this.

After all, would someone like him ever conduct an honest transaction?

Hehehehehehehehehehe...
