Only after staying in Immortal Farming Pavilion for less than half an hour, Zhang Tie had reached an agreement with Immortal Farming Pavilion. After paying half of the deposit, he signed a contract and left.
The contract value of this seed bank was 3.1 million gold coins. One month later, Jiang Clan of Herbal Medicine Palace would transport 513697 kinds of plant seeds to Xuantian City of Iron-Dragon Sect. These plant seeds didn't include the extremely precious plant seeds such as fiery lotus, golden ganoderma and dragonization grass, nor did they include the mutated varieties of plant seeds.
After doing this, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. Previously, Zhang Tie had always transported plant seeds into Castle of Black Iron; however, he only collected tens of thousands of plant seeds, which were far less than what he obtained from Immortal Farming Pavilion. Besides native plants in Taixia Country, Immortal Farming Pavilion also provided Zhang Tie with plant seeds from other continents and subcontinents, even those which were suitable to grow in the Earth-elements Realm.
Of course, these plant seeds would be transported into Castle of Black Iron. As it was a good opportunity to come to Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie prepared to replenish all the plant seeds in Castle of Black Iron so as to enrich the biological resources in Castle of Black Iron.
Zhang Tie had already made a plan. Firstly, he would fill the basic plant resources in Castle of Black Iron. After that, he would gradually fill various animal resources into Castle of Black Iron according to the food chain. If he had time, he would expand the land area of Castle of Black Iron by hundreds of times or even thousands of times. In this way, Castle of Black Iron would be as same as that of the outside world, which was vigorous and suitable for humans to live.
Even Taiyi Fantasy Sect which had powerful sage-level knights had prepared for the worst in this holy war. After knowing this news, Zhang Tie didn't feel that he could match Taiyi Fantasy Sect no matter how confident he was. Therefore, it was necessary for him to have a backup plan. Thankfully, many major clans in Taixia Country were expanding their seed banks. Additionally, Zhang Tie was a lord and a master. Therefore, the contract between Zhang Tie and Immortal Farming Manor was not eye-catching.
"Immortal Farming Manor is really good at making money. Over 3 million gold coins could buy over 500,000 plant seeds. On average, 6 gold coins could only buy one plant seed. If I find a random person outside and give him 10 gold coins, he would send me at least hundreds of plant seeds around Xuanyuan Hill. If it's in South Border, where there are many plants, many plant seeds are free, I could easily collect hundreds of plant seeds with only one gold coin."
Even Bai Suxian who didn't care about money knew that Zhang Tie had spent too much money on these seeds. To be honest, these seeds were not worth so much money. Over 3 million gold coins were nothing in Zhang Tie's eyes; however, it was an astronomical wealth for commoners. As for ordinary clans in Taixia Country, they were already rich if they had thousands of gold coins in their savings, not to mention over 3 million gold coins. Even commoners could collect plant seeds without spending so much money.
Zhang Tie shook his head with a smile, "You can't calculate it in this way. If those seeds were sold individually, they might not even be worth 100,000 gold coins; however, after being put together, their value would increase by several times. The price of over 3 million gold coins is not for those seeds, but for the ability of Jiang Clan of Herbal Palace to integrate these resources. Besides Jiang Clan, any other person or clan would have to spend much more than 3 million gold coins to get such a complete seed bank in each continent, subcontinent, even the Earth-elements Realm and the underground world. Additionally, it would take them a long time to do so. Jiang Clan has realized this point; therefore, they set such a high price!"
"You're not angry?" When they talked with each other, they had already walked out of Immortal Farming Pavilion and came to a wide lane. Bai Suxian then turned around and watched Zhang Tie.
"Nothing to be angry about. I just admire that Jiang Clan has the ability to integrate these resources. Therefore, they should make money!" Zhang Tie said straightforwardly. Meanwhile, he gestured with his hands, "There are two most profitable businesses in the world. First, monopoly. Nobody could learn it. Second, like Jiang Clan, integrate many common resources and make money. The first business relies on the monopoly of exclusive commodities or rights; the second one relies on vision and ability. These seeds are right in front of the world. Nobody could do it. However, only Jiang Clan could collect all the seeds and integrate over 500,000 plant seeds. Therefore, they should make money!"
"After hearing your words, I admire Jiang Clan a bit. But why do you know so much about business?" Bai Suxian asked as she held Zhang Tie's arm.
Zhang Tie blinked his eyes, "Have you forgotten what I did before?"
When Bai Suxian recalled Zhang Tie's real identity and his confession article, she immediately understood that Zhang Tie, who came from a grocery store, of course, knew how to do business.
The two people burst out into laughter at the same time.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Is there any place that sells secret methods in Gold and Power Market?"
"How could they sell secret methods casually?"
"I'm talking about the incomplete ones. Do you mean the secret manuals of Dao, Technique, Secret Arts, Secret Arts, Secret Arts, Secret Arts, Secret Arts, and Secret Arts?"
"Besides those who have no hope to promote to a knight, those who have a bit hope to promote to a knight would not choose such secret methods. What do you want such secret methods for?" Bai Suxian watched Zhang Tie with a curious look.
"Do you remember Xu Yian in Xujia Village?" Zhang Tie mentioned that small village which was exterminated by bloody figures and was saved by him and Bai Suxian at the last moment.
"Yes!" Bai Suxian nodded.
"That day, Xu Yian said that he was practicing the 'Blue Sky Mantra', and the complete version of the 'Blue Sky Mantra' was the count-level 'Heavenly King Scripture', and there was a complete version of the 'Heavenly King's Saber Technique'. Although Xu Yian was limited by his cultivation level and couldn't unleash the full power of the 'Heavenly King's Saber Technique', the power of a count-level battle skill is still extraordinary. At that time, I thought that since the 'Blue Sky Mantra' had a complete corresponding battle skill, the other manuals should also have complete manuals!"
"Those secret methods which could have corresponding battle skills are at least count-level. Those baron-level and viscount-level secret methods don't have corresponding battle skills. However, if you don't promote to a knight, you could not even exert 1/10 of the power of these battle skills. You could only have movements and stances which couldn't be matched with the corresponding surging points and chakras of the secret methods. Do you want to learn these battle skills?"
"Stones from other mountains could improve jade!" Zhang Tie turned solemn, "After fighting Nangong Sheng that day, I've learned a lot. I think that I might make a further progress in my cultivation base if I could study the battle skills of other levels.
"I see!" Bai Suxian revealed a serious look, "I've not been there before. However, I remember that there's a place in Gold and Power Market which especially sells incomplete secret methods. It's called Semi-jade Pavilion. It's a bit famous!"
Zhang Tie restrained his excitement as he said calmly, "Well, let's take a look there!"
…
This time, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian didn't find anyone to lead the way; instead, they just wandered around Gold and Power Market leisurely. Occasionally, they would ask passers-by. Only after over 1 hour, they had arrived at the gate of Semi-jade Pavilion.
Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian both knew that they were being followed by some "tails"; however, they didn't care about that.
Compared to the tranquility of Immortal Farming Pavilion just now, Semi-jade Pavilion looked different. The 3-storey gate was paved with a shiny obsidian floor. Additionally, there were two rows of strong, armored, majestic guards at the gate. It could even match that of a yamen.
"What did you find?" Zhang Tie asked Bai Suxian with a smile.
"It seems that this is also a place that treats people according to their preferences!"
Zhang Tie nodded as he could confirm that 99% of those who came to Semi-jade Pavilion to purchase incomplete secret methods were not powerful in battle strength or background. Due to lack of connections and resources, they chose to cultivate secret methods which couldn't help them promote to knights. Therefore, the layout of Semi-jade Pavilion was superficial so that the guests could understand it at the sight of it. If the guests here were in Immortal Farming Pavilion, they might not understand the deep background of the peony and the top-quality wild spring. Therefore, Bai Suxian was right.
The two people then entered the magnificent Semi-jade Pavilion …
Watching them entering Semi-jade Pavilion, a "tail" behind Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian walked far away as he gazed at the gate of Semi-jade Pavilion. At the same time, he put one hand on his wrist, where there was a remote-sensing crystal …
…
"Owner, Cui LI and Bai Suxian have just entered Semi-jade Pavilion. We've also figured out their trade in Immortal Farming Pavilion. Cui LI bought a lot of plant seeds from Jiang Clan. The trade value is 3.1 million gold coins …"
After Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian entered Semi-jade Pavilion for less than 1 minute, the guy with a long face and sparse beard who was slapped twice by Zhang Tie yesterday was reporting the whereabouts of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian to Han Yuanhong in a room of Treasures Market. Since the two people entered Gold and Power Market, Han Yuanhong had people keep an eye on them.
Han Yuanhong revealed a sneer as he said in a mocking tone, "Seed bank? This Cui LI is really concerned about the country and the people. Does he think that he's the provincial governor of Youzhou Province? I don't care about the relationship between them and Jiang Clan; however, didn't they ask someone about the boss of Semi-jade Pavilion before entering Semi-jade Pavilion? Han Sui, you go to Semi-jade Pavilion. I don't need to teach you what to do … "
