Chapter 65: Selling in Large Quantities, Spirit Stones Rolling In

“Don’t worry, Old Jiu, I know all this.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Bei stowed away the jade slip representing the immortal product into his Cosmos Bag.

Then he turned to Qin Xuan.

“Xiao Xuan, what you lack is a powerful magical ability; otherwise, you would definitely be able to conquer the third layer. So, I’m giving you a chance to choose a magical ability.”

Saying this, Qin Bei handed over the jade slip representing the top-tier divine skill.

“Ah? But I don’t really need this right now. My foundation-building cultivation can’t even use such a high-level ability. How about you just get me a heavenly-grade one instead?”

Qin Xuan was initially surprised, then spoke.

“Tsk~ Hiss~ Your brother is practicing the immortal grade! What’s the point of you practicing divine grade? You might not be able to fully use it now, but eventually, you will. A step ahead means stepping on countless geniuses beneath your feet.”

“Okay… I’ll give it a try.”

While the two were talking, Princess Ling Er helped Qin Chen approach them.

“Royal brother, you still have so many divine skills; how about selling one to me? I’ll trade the heavenly skill I wanted to buy for a divine skill instead.”

“But…”

Before Qin Bei could finish, Princess Ling Er already understood his intent.

“I see. How can a divine skill be sold for just 100,000 spirit stones? Let’s do this: my brother and I will take the high-level and intermediate divine skills, and I’ll give you 300,000 spirit stones. How does that sound?”

With that, Princess Ling Er snatched Qin Chen’s Cosmos Bag.

Qin Chen: ….

Clatter clatter~

A heap of spirit stones tumbled out of the Cosmos Bag.

“How about it? Am I straightforward, royal sister? As a man who stands tall and mighty, you should be more straightforward, too.”

Princess Ling Er looked expectantly at Qin Bei.

“No, royal sister, you misunderstood me. I’m saying that I can sell you the high-level and intermediate divine skills, but I won’t return or exchange the heavenly skill we just traded before.”

“You either choose to forgo the heavenly skill, or I’ll go get you the skill you want.”

Qin Bei said very calmly.

Are you kidding!

Qin Bei, with his Pixiu attributes, is he going to allow returns?

100,000 spirit stones may not be a fortune, but it’s still a considerable sum!

Princess Ling Er: …

I get it; this feels like a forced transaction.

However, looking at Qin Bei’s demeanor, if she insisted on returning the goods, there would be no hope for the divine-grade techniques.

“Then how many spirit stones are you planning to sell us?”

“Let’s do this: a uniform wholesale price: 300,000 spirit stones for high-level divine, 250,000 spirit stones for intermediate divine, and 200,000 spirit stones for low-level divine.”

“Hey~ Listen guys! It’s the same price for all of you.”

Qin Bei called out to everyone around.

Suddenly, the outside of the royal martial arts pavilion felt like a bustling vegetable market.

The old man who was drinking couldn’t help but twitch at Qin Bei’s pricing.

Divine grade! If produced in the flesh, selling it outside would cost millions, if not more.

Now, it turned into cabbage wholesale pricing just like that…

But then again, Qin Bei thought the same as the old man.

These are royal family techniques, and it is clearly stipulated that they cannot be passed on.

If I sold them outside, the next day, I’d be arrested by the royal family and charged with treason.

Thus, Qin Bei could only sell these to royal family members.

He also couldn’t set the price too high.

After all, every member of the royal family can comprehend them on their own.

If the price is too steep, no one would want to buy.

So, Qin Bei was preparing to go for a low margin but high volume.

There are so many royal family members; if everyone buys a copy, my net worth will soar past a hundred million in no time!

“Also, I’ll sell top-level heavenly grade for 150,000 spirit stones, and anything below top-level heavenly grade will go for 100,000 spirit stones! Those who are interested can start buying now.”

As soon as Qin Bei finished speaking, of course, the first buyer was Princess Ling Er.

“Here! You’re way too greedy! Qin Chen’s savings are only in the hundred thousands—now you’ve emptied them!”

Princess Ling Er said somewhat dejectedly.

“I mean, sister, you’re not spending your money, so why are you upset?”

Qin Bei muttered as he collected the spirit stones.

“You!….”

“Here, take these two jade slips.”

Qin Bei directly handed her two jade slips to shut her up.

She immediately took them with a big smile on her face.

“I paid for that heavenly body skill, so no refunds—I want my goods!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get them for you shortly.”

“Royal brother, I’ll take the remaining low-grade divine products; here are 200,000 spirit stones.”

“Prince Bei, I want to buy a top-grade heavenly skill. Can you help me?”

“Sure, sure. We’re all family; just ensure the spirit stones are ready.”

“Prince Bei, we’re all family—can you give a discount?”

“Hmm? What? It’s already so cheap! You still want a discount? Are you messing with me? Get lost! Next! Next! No bargaining! Who’s family with you?”

Everyone: This…

Qin Bei jotted down what skills these people wanted while collecting spirit stones.

Nice and smooth.

“Ahem~ Prince Bei, take it easy…”

Old Jiu couldn’t watch it anymore.

He’s been guarding the martial arts pavilion for so many years; when has such a scene ever happened?

Okay, sneaking in a purchase or two is tolerated by the royal family.

But Qin Bei is wholesaling…

It’s just too outrageous…

“Don’t worry, Old Jiu, I promise to follow the rules and won’t break any regulations,”

Qin Bei said with a look of “I know what I’m doing” directed at Old Jiu.

Old Jiu:…

“Don’t be fooled!”

Just when everyone was enthusiastically placing orders with Qin Bei, a discordant voice rang out.

“Qin Ke, what do you want to do?”

Qin Xuan immediately recognized him, having had previous grievances.

He didn’t expect this guy to appear just when his brother was making money.

“What? Of course, I’m here to stop you from scamming everyone!”

Qin Bei narrowed his eyes.

“What do you mean, Qin Ke?”

Everyone around asked, perplexed.

“What do you mean? Have you forgotten? He cleared the fifth layer of the Demon Suppression Tower, and he only has the opportunity to freely comprehend from the fifth floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion. That doesn’t mean he can just take whatever magical ability he fancies! You’ve all been confused by the few divine skills Lord Weapon Spirit rewarded him.”

“The items gifted by Lord Weapon Spirit can be chosen directly, but he only has those few jade slips. The top-grade martial arts sold to you require him to go learn them at the Martial Arts Pavilion before he can bring them out.”

“Learning takes time and talent, and with so many of you at once, do you really believe he can master so many magical abilities? Do you think he’s some kind of god?”

With Qin Ke’s words, everyone came to a realization.

Thinking back, it indeed made sense; they almost got the two concepts mixed up because of the Weapon Spirit’s reward.

“See? I told you to take it easy, but you didn’t listen. Didn’t you forget about this yourself?”

Old Jiu chuckled from behind.

Qin Bei turned to Old Jiu, a smile creasing his lips.

“Who said I forgot? With these twenty or thirty orders, isn’t it just a matter of minutes before I understand them?”

Qin Bei confidently stated.

He certainly knew that passing through the Demon Suppression Tower didn’t mean he could casually take the skills inside.

If that were the case, those who entered the tower would have long been selling them in bulk.

The Tower was just to increase the opportunities and time to comprehend.

Before passing through the Tower, one only had one chance to comprehend per month, and only for a single hour.

But once someone has cleared the tower, they can comprehend at any time and even stay inside for months on end.

The reason nobody does such large-scale sales is that they still need to comprehend. Those who clear the fourth layer are geniuses among geniuses, and they certainly don’t have time to waste helping others with their understanding.

However, Qin Bei is different.

He has a system!

While others waste time comprehending, he won’t.

For him, this is just a sure-win business.
