The news of the earth dragon's appearance spread like wildfire in Giant-Stone City.
Although this illusionary spirit egg didn't look good, Wu Ming spent a lot of money and invited several appraisers to jointly appraise it. He even issued a certificate!
All of this, coupled with the Dongfang family's reputation, was a sure thing, and no one could doubt it anymore.
In just one day, the Spirit Controllers almost broke the threshold of the Imperial Wind House, looking at the securely protected earth dragon Phantom Spirit egg as if they were on a pilgrimage.
Of course, they were immediately provoked by the price. "Five million … Why don't you just rob a bank?"
Obviously, this price was not sincere. It was a pretense that Wu Ming deliberately put out to attract more customers with this treasure of the store.
After looking at the earth dragon egg, a large number of Spirit Controllers saw the cheap and good combat skill jade slips, as well as other Elite Phantom Spirit eggs, and naturally had the desire to buy them.
On the first day, the turnover exceeded 50,000 spirit coins!
On the second day, 70,000! On the third day, 90,000! On the fifth day! 100,000!!
On the sixth day, because the Elite Phantom Spirit eggs were sold out, the sales began to fall, but the revenue from the combat skills was also rising. The quality of the jade slips made by Wu Ming was not inferior to the old He Family Shop, and the price was even lower. It brought in many repeat customers, and the daily turnover was more than 10,000 spirit coins!
It was said that the four Deacons of the Dongfang family, Ri, Jin, Dou, and Jin, who were in charge of business, were extremely jealous when they heard this number.
Of course, such a large amount of wealth and the earth dragon Phantom Spirit egg also attracted a lot of covetous eyes.
But the Imperial Wind House was the Dongfang family's business, after all. Although the earth dragon was rare, it was an outstanding species. The big families in Giant-Stone City would not fall out with the Dongfang family for a Phantom Spirit egg. This was the benefit of Wu Ming.
As for the other thieves? His soldier-level strength was enough to solve most of them.
At the end of the month, Dongfang Ri looked at the report, and the muscles on his face twitched. "One million! The income of the Imperial Wind House alone is equivalent to half of the monthly income of the whole family? "
He recalled Dongfang Shuoming's proud expression at the time, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. What a genius in business! Could it be that he really wasn't lying at that time? Dongfang Jin's defeat is not an injustice … "
At the same time, a trace of a smile appeared on his face. "The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Young man, you are too ostentatious … Hehe … Let's wait for a few more months. Let's see if the second elder will be able to endure it …"
…
"The situation now is very dangerous …"
In the Dongfang Family, Wu Ming paid 50,000 spirit coins and was sent out by Dongfang Ri, who had a kind smile on his face. Wu Ming's face suddenly turned gloomy. "One million spirit coins is already a fortune among soldiers. Even a general-level spirit controller will be tempted by it. In a few months … no righteousness will be able to stop the family from plucking the fruit!"
"But …"
His lips curled into a smile. "I only planned to do this for a month. For a Spirit Controller, the most important thing is always one's own strength!"
Compared to one's own strength, what were other external objects? Wu Ming had always been very clear on this point, and he would not neglect the essentials to pursue trifles.
…
"Greetings, Brother Shuoming!"
"Sir Shuoming!"
Within the family, the youths and even the adults that he met all greeted him with smiles on their faces.
This was not just because of Wu Ming's strength, but also because of the power and influence that money brought!
Everywhere he looked, he saw faces that were full of flattery and praise. All of this was enough to cause any youth to lose himself. However, Wu Ming had a calm expression as he found Dongfang Dia Wu.
"Ah Ming! I heard that you've made a fortune. Where's that Earth Dragon egg? Let me see … "
Dongfang Dia Yu was the same as always, and her eyes were filled with pure joy. This was the joy of seeing a friend become famous, and there was no jealousy in her eyes. This was a rare sight.
"Oh!"
Wu Ming smiled and opened the bag on his back, revealing the Earth Dragon egg.
"Ah … I just said it casually. Why did you really bring it?"
Dongfang Dia Yu's eyes were filled with shock.
"Not only that, there's also this …"
Wu Ming waved his hand, and a crystal card with thirty thousand spirit coins appeared in his hand. He said seriously, "I'll lend you three thousand spirit coins, and I'll return you ten times the amount. Also, consider this Earth Dragon egg as interest!"
"I …"
Dongfang Dia Yu rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit dizzy. "I thought you were just saying it casually. Also … this interest is too terrifying. It's five million spirit coins! Also, didn't you make a contract with it when you advanced to the soldier rank? "
"It's just a gimmick. Even if I keep it, I won't be able to keep it. Am I right, Lord Third Elder?"
Wu Ming smiled towards the gate.
"That's right!"
Dongfang Tie's tall figure instantly appeared, and he looked at the Earth Dragon egg in awe. "The family's reputation can protect you for a while, but it can't protect you forever. Furthermore, there are more than one person in the family who covets this item. You're able to give it up as well as give it up. You're really decisive!"
He paused, then continued, "From today onwards, the Hall of Penal Laws will be your strongest shield! Do whatever you want! "
"Many thanks, Elder!"
Wu Ming's face was filled with joy as he excused himself. However, his eyes were filled with coldness.
Ever since he had chosen the business mission, many people in the Dongfang family had accused him of having a foot in two boats at the same time. He didn't believe a single word of Dongfang Tie's!
The Hall of Penal Laws?
It was more likely that they wanted him to do whatever he wanted, and then reap the fruits of their labor.
Compared to the possibility of millions in profit every month, what was a mere granddaughter's friendship worth?
Unfortunately, even the wily Dongfang Tie thought that Dongfang Shuoming was only offering up the Earth Dragon egg to protect himself, and to get the Hall of Penal Laws' promise. He didn't know that Wu Ming wasn't planning to play anymore.
These elders were planning to use him as a chess piece, but Wu Ming had flipped the table and jumped out of the pond!
"Therefore, what I'm doing today is, firstly, to repay a debt of gratitude, and secondly, to create a smokescreen to confuse people … to make them think that I want to continue making profits. After all, no matter how good the Earth Dragon egg is, how can it compare to a hen that lays golden eggs?"
The corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
Now, the timing was just right.
First of all, his business was like a raging fire. No one could imagine that he would give up.
If he waited a little longer, and the profits were too great, even a general-level spirit controller would be alarmed, and there would be a lot of trouble.
His every move, every advance and retreat, contained an enormous boldness and decisiveness that could shake the heavens and the earth!
…
"What? One million spirit coins? "
Dongfang Rouxin, who was in the house next door, heard the report, and her eyebrows were full of jealousy. "This is too … too huge a profit …"
Even she, who had risked her life for the Grand Elder, might not even have this much money! Moreover, this was only the first month's profit! As long as he could maintain this, the Imperial Wind House's profits would continue to increase every month!
"The Phantom Egg and the combat skill jade scroll …"
Dongfang Rouxin thought quickly. "Appraisers only look at talent, so I can say that Dongfang Shuoming is gifted. But the combat skills sold by the Imperial Wind House are no worse than those sold by the He Family's old store, but the price is 10% lower. Where did he get them? Does he have some secret supply channel? "
This was very important. If he didn't, even if he took over, the Imperial Wind House would still be as useless as before.
"Looks like … there's no hurry to close the net … strengthen surveillance, and we must dig out the network and people behind this young man!"
Dongfang Rouxin's pretty face was filled with ruthlessness.
"Manager, Dongfang Shuoming just went to the Third Elder's place and gave the earth dragon egg to Dongfang Die Yu!"
At this moment, another person came in to report.
"What?"
Dongfang Rouxin stood up. After a long time, she sighed faintly. "He can give up and give up. How decisive!"
She also relaxed. "The earth dragon egg is worth at least one million. Dongfang Shuoming gave it away to avoid trouble, and I'm afraid he wants to continue eating the profits of the Imperial Wind House … Hehe … I'm just afraid you won't eat it …"
From her point of view, no matter how much Dongfang Shuoming earned, if he didn't have enough power to protect it, he wouldn't be able to keep the Imperial Wind House after a certain amount.
In fact, he might even be imprisoned and forced to divulge his secrets.
"He's still too young …"
Dongfang Rouxin sighed. Her eyes were filled with a seductive smile. "Pass down my order. Strengthen surveillance on Dongfang Shuoming! Send two more soldier-level … "
As for general-level spirit masters? She didn't have the right to mobilize them yet.
After all, even in the Dongfang family, besides the great elder Dongfang Ying, who was a general-level spirit master, Dongfang Xiong and Dongfang Tie were also general-level spirit masters!
'Dongfang Shuoming is just a young man who has just become a soldier-level spirit master. He hasn't even contracted a second phantom spirit yet. His strength is limited. This should be enough …'
She thought silently. She didn't know why, but her heart suddenly palpitated.
…
"Hmm? There are many spies in the dark? "
Wu Ming swaggered out of the Dongfang family's main door. He smiled inwardly. 'Two at the street corner, three at the back, and one hidden in the shadows. Three forces? Other than the family, there should be spies from the He Family's old shop … '
After all, the creation of battle techniques was the specialty of a noisemaker. If it was leaked, the rabbit girl and the fox girl manager would probably suffer.
When faced with intense pressure and competition in business, it was normal for them to resort to all kinds of underhanded means.
Wu Ming didn't doubt that if he didn't wear the tiger skin of the Dongfang family, they would have come knocking on his door the day after he sold the battle techniques.
'The reason why they've been holding back until now is probably because they want to investigate. … I want you to hesitate and think that there's someone behind me! Once you have scruples, you won't dare to make a move … '
He pondered as he walked to the Wind House.
"House master!"
Dongmen Fu and Ximen Qin, the two door gods, immediately stepped forward. They were extremely attentive, like two lackeys.
"Hmm! Go and do a few things for me! "
Wu Ming's lips curled into a mocking smile. He waved his hand.
