Baokang County.
In a grand smithy.
More than thirty young ironsmiths from Beautiful Robes Faction and Mu Clan stood in front of their respective forging tables in high spirits. They puffed out their chests and stared at a tall and built man with a stern expression.
…
The clan master of Mu Clan, Thunderous Battle!
In less than half a month after the clan was built, not only did it stand and develop steadily, it also bought ten shops in Baokang within a short period of time.
An apothecary.
An ironsmith.
An equipment store. And some grocery stores.
At the same time they bought all sorts of high-grade resources from the countless players who specialized in occupations in Baokang, a large number of herbalists, ironsmiths, tailors, and merchants entered the shops.
Even though Thunderous Battle was not a powerful player on the Dragon Rank, he was ranked at the top of the Famous People Rank. As the leader of a sect that only had the standard of a middle-sized sect, he became the leader with the most authority in Shennongjia. Regardless of whether it was the three local leaders of Baokang or Chivalry Sect, they all seemed to treat Mu Clan as their leader.
Also …
Thunderous Battle did quite a lot of things over the past few days.
The apothecary bought a large number of materials to create Dew Pills, Beauty Melting Pills, antidotes, high-grade medicinal pills, and other materials to create the most popular medicine at a price that was 50% higher than that of NPC shops.
Once they bought a lot of medicinal materials in the commission shop, they bought them wantonly at a price that was slightly higher than the market price.
The price of medicinal materials in World of Martial Arts rose slightly.
Just when everyone thought that Thunderous Battle had become stupid because he had too much money and asked people to buy medicinal materials, the sects who had been training herbalists in secret sent out emergency notices. Once they could not gather any medicinal materials, they raised the price to buy them.
Medicinal materials!
In less than two days, their prices rose by leaps and bounds.
Just when a large group of merchants realized that they had missed the chance to stock up on medicinal herbs, Mu Clan had already quietly bought an astonishing number of medicinal herbs, and they placed them in the commission shop at an even higher price to earn the difference between the two.
It was said that the mastermind behind the sudden increase in the price of medicinal materials was a female merchant friend of the thirteen staff-using monks. She contacted Thunderous Battle and Happy and used the resources she obtained within a short period of time to increase the price of various medicinal materials by more than one fold. She gained hundreds of millions of profit.
However, based on the higher-ups, Mu Clan's storage did not decrease in medicinal materials. They had just converted the medicinal materials they bought this time into funds to fill up the clan storage.
Alchemists, on the other hand, were given an unprecedented opportunity to develop.
Through continuous refinement, dozens of herbalists advanced from the sixth and seventh grade to the fourth grade and even the third grade in one go. They provided a large amount of Beauty Melting Liquid, Golden Jade Liquid, and even Jade Coagulating Powder for the blacksmiths and tailors …
In less than three days.
Mu Clan attacked again. They spent one billion and swept away tens of thousands of low-grade and middle-grade masterpieces that were being sold at a low price in the commission shop!
Most of these masterpieces were goods whose prices had plummeted after the trend of refinement appeared. Due to the appearance of the trend of refinement, many people made some calculations and discovered that once the second refinement started, the cost of the materials would be even higher than the price of the main body. These masterpieces were instantly ignored, and countless players gave up on them. Everyone went after the masterpieces and first-echelon masterpieces. Hence, the prices for middle-grade and low-grade masterpieces plummeted. Some people even threw them into shops.
Middle-grade weapons that cost tens of thousands of taels of silver could be seen everywhere!
But just when everyone looked down on middle-grade and low-grade masterpieces because they were so cheap that they were practically the same price as the ones sold in the shops that sold masterpieces, Mu Clan took action.
With just one attack, World of Martial Arts was shaken!
Overnight, the merchants in various cities were pleasantly surprised to find that the equipment that could barely be sold had almost all been sold. Some were even sold out.
They collected their money!
But when they entered the commission shop to inquire about it, they found that there were only a few medicine, martial art manuals, resources, and some items that were more suitable for daily life. The advertisements for masterpieces that filled the entire page in the past seemed to have been cleared.
When the merchants vaguely noticed that the situation was bad, a series of offers to buy masterpieces suddenly appeared on the list of offers in the commission shop.
[Buy low-grade masterpieces at a low price.
[Buy low-grade masterpieces at a low price.
[Buy a batch of low-grade masterpieces at a low price.]
Most of these people were ironsmiths in sects. To increase their refinement level and experience, they had to use masterpieces to increase their echelon, but to prevent the cost from being too high, they only bought low-grade masterpieces!
Once there were more of these offers, some people knew that they could not buy masterpieces like this. They had to increase the price.
In the beginning, they only sold for tens of thousands of masterpieces. Soon, they sold them for one hundred thousand.
But it was still a drop in the bucket. There were simply too few masterpieces produced. Once they appeared, they would immediately be snatched up like mad. In fact, there were even people who sold low-grade and middle-grade masterpieces at a high price of one hundred fifty thousand or two hundred thousand.
Many merchants scoffed at this price and mocked these people for wanting to earn money so much that they went mad!
However!
Before they could finish mocking them, the successful trade for the equipment was announced, and it swiftly disappeared from the supply and demand page, causing countless merchants to be devastated.
At that moment, a notice with the codename Masterpieces Merchant appeared frequently on the commission shop's page. He offered to sell ten low-grade masterpieces in one go for a total of two million and four hundred thousand taels of silver.
There were too many wolves, but not enough meat!
Many of the sects who were on the lookout hesitated for a while before they forced down the pain in their hearts and resolutely bought the first batch of orders.
Once there was the first, there was soon a second.
On the first day, two thousand low-grade masterpieces were sold one after another, and Mu Clan recovered more than a quarter of their funds!
But there were still countless orders in the commission shop. In fact, there were even people who sent messenger pigeons to say that they needed a large number of low-grade masterpieces and that they could increase the price slightly.
Among the merchants, Kind Tycoon offered the highest price. He offered two hundred and eighty taels of silver for ten low-grade masterpieces and three million and four hundred thousand taels of silver for ten middle-grade masterpieces.
Many of the merchants did some calculations for Mu Clan in secret.
This time, Mu Clan obtained at least seven hundred percent of the profit from the purchase of masterpieces, which meant that they earned more than seven billion taels of silver.
Kind Tycoon even made a post about it.
He said that Mu Clan had seen through the explosive period of the trend of refinement and also the fact that other sects had ignored low-grade masterpieces. They boldly pulled the profit from low-grade masterpieces back to normal. Their operations, their courage to cut off all means of retreat, and their method of selling masterpieces maximized the profit from low-grade masterpieces. It was something that all merchants could learn from.
It was these two classic operations that allowed Mu Clan to have an extra few billion in liquid funds.
The remaining low-grade and middle-grade masterpieces were also handed over to the ironsmiths as if they were vegetables. Happy and Thunderous Battle designated the forgemasters from Beautiful Robes Faction and Mu Clan to practice so that they could increase their refinement levels.
However …
Right then, they had already reached the level of being a skilled craftsman. Right then, what they needed to do was to obtain a large batch of first-echelon low-grade and middle-grade masterpieces from Thunderous Battle so that they could reach the second echelon.
