Chapter 475 – 15 Percent Discount
Not all Outer Court teachers were qualified to come here because not all teachers were so rich. For example, Xiao Qi definitely didn’t have enough money to apply for admission here.
“Teacher Tang, what do you think…” Tang Ying asked.
Tang Zhenhua said, “Alright, on account of my student’s filial piety, I’ll take it. I can just keep it anyway.”
Tang Ying’s eyes lit up. “Alright, thank you, Teacher Tang, and thank you for your patronage, junior brother.” She was truly happy; there was a commission for the sales here. With 30 purple emblems, her commission was at least three yellow emblems and above. In such a short period of time, she was able to earn three yellow emblems, which was definitely considered fast. Hence, the Special Exchange Center was actually a lucrative place. Even among Inner Court disciples, not everyone could get this position.
“Teacher Tang, junior brother, please wait a moment. I will calculate Teacher Tang’s discount price first and ask an Inner Court teacher to send over the one hundred thousand-year Purple Immortal Spirit Ganoderma,” Tang Ying said and quickly left, as if afraid that the master and disciple duo would regret it.
The moment Tang Ying left, Tang Zhenhua could not help but frown. “What are you thinking, kid? Didn’t I tell you that this Purple Immortal Ganoderma isn’t worth much?”
Lan Xuanyu coughed and said, “Teacher, firstly, I can increase my cultivation speed by double for a year. As you know, my soul power cultivation is the slowest among the first years. Everyone’s average cultivation base is now at four-ring, and I’m still quite a distance away from that realm. Also, when my soul power will break through, the bottleneck I will meet will be rather difficult. Also, the fact that the Purple Immortal Ganoderma can strengthen my meridians is what I value the most. To others, the price-performance ratio isn’t high, but to me, it is quite good.”
Tang Zhenhua was stunned for a moment. He was also a smart person; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to teach disciples like Yin Tianfan and Lan Xuanyu. “You mean to say, your life affinity?”
Lan Xuanyu chuckled and didn’t say a word. He knew that his teacher understood.
If he had the strength of a t.i.tled Douluo’s meridians, then how much life energy would he be able to take from cultivating in the Sea G.o.d Lake? It was comparable to the life energy that a t.i.tled Douluo’s body could bear! And how much did this cost? He would then gain ten times more than before for a single session. He would earn the equivalent of 27 yellow emblems in one go, that is to say one and a half purple emblems.
When would he be able to cultivate to the rank of a t.i.tled Douluo? During this period of time, as long as he continued to cultivate in Sea G.o.d Lake, he would be able to earn money. From an investing point of view, this was definitely worth it. Furthermore, there were the “bonus” effects of strengthening one’s foundation and strengthening one’s potential. So after looking around, Lan Xuanyu had realized that nothing was more suitable for him than this one hundred thousand-year Purple Immortal Ganoderma.
Although it was very expensive, he could be considered wealthy and he had over 40 purple emblems left.
“Oh right, Teacher. Someone told me today that there will be a huge difference between the fourth and third years. We will be facing the fourth years the day after tomorrow. Can you tell me what is different about the fourth years ?” Lan Xuanyu suddenly recalled the honest young man’s words.
Tang Zhenhua narrowed his eyes and looked at him meaningfully. “Find the answer yourself in battle. I can only tell you to be careful.”
Lan Xuanyu was speechless, but he was even more curious because Tang Zhenhua’s words had undoubtedly proven the honest youth’s words. There was clearly something wrong with the fourth years.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t know what the problem was, and this made him very cautious.
“Alright, let’s go. We’ll wait for them to send the things over before coming back to get them.” Tang Zhenhua felt sorry for Lan Xuanyu for spending so many purple emblems.
Lan Xuanyu asked, “Teacher, how much discount can you get ?”
Tang Zhenhua said, “15% off.”
Lan Xuanyu was slightly disappointed. “So little discount? I thought it was at least 40% or 50%.”
Tang Zhenhua said in annoyance, “What do you take the things here for? Cabbage? And 15% off is already the highest discount that one can get in the Outer Court. These things cost more than that.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Hehe, Teacher, please wait for a bit longer, I will choose a few more things.” As he spoke, he immediately ran out.
Lan Xuanyu’s memory was very good. He had memorized everything that he had seen before, especially those that he had paid attention to. He wanted to check out these things once more.
Of course, he didn’t come this time just for himself. If he wanted to defeat the fourth years or even go further, he needed to improve his entire team. Furthermore, he had already thought about it before the start of the tournament. If he won, he would share his gains with his teammates; if he lost, he would slowly pay it back. This was the confidence he had after gaining the ability to forge.
He had already noticed some good things that could increase the strength of his teammates and it wouldn’t affect their future cultivation. Taking advantage of his wealth and the fact that his teacher had a discount, he decided to quickly get them.
Very soon, Lan Xuanyu returned and told Tang Ying a series of names and numbers.
After Tang Ying listed and calculated everything that he wanted, her expression turned ugly. “Junior brother! This isn’t good! You want so much at once and you even want to use Teacher Tang’s discount. We will really lose out a lot.”
Lan Xuanyu coughed. “It’s not what I want! It’s what my teacher wants. I’m just helping my teacher by running some errands. Senior, this isn’t against the rules, right?”
Tang Ying felt helpless. Tang Zhenhua leaned forward and asked, “How much did he buy?”
Tang Ying smiled bitterly. “Adding them all up, 72 purple emblems. Teacher Tang, are you sure? This matter will definitely be reported to the Inner Court. After all, the amount is too big.”
Tang Zhenhua looked at Lan Xuanyu with his mouth agape. “You’re not having a fever, are you? You bought so much at once and you’re using it yourself? Don’t absorb too much, it’s not good for you.”
Most of the items Lan Xuanyu had chosen were Heaven and Earth treasures, he could tell at a glance.
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “It’s not just for me, it’s also for my companions’. Teacher, I’m definitely not buying rashly, don’t worry.”
There were 72 purple emblems, and after a 15% discount, it was about 61 purple emblems. This number was definitely huge, but Lan Xuanyu felt that it was worth it.
It didn’t seem to hurt to spend most of the emblems that he had won through gambling. Furthermore, if he spent all these emblems, it meant that he had spent the equivalent of 72 purple emblems in exchange for resources. Even if he lost the following gambles, he had still benefited from it !
This was also him cutting off the possibility of gambling once again his emblems, thus helping to stabilize his state of mind, so Lan Xuanyu didn’t feel the pain at all.
After Tang Zhenhua confirmed it with Lan Xuanyu, he couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘The new generation is really replacing the previous one !’ Although his other disciples had a sense of adventure, they were much more cautious than the kid in front of him. Crafty moves were usually built on the premise of being cautious and careful, and although Lan Xuanyu was also proficient in it and did quite well, he was much more open-minded than the other students. At the very least, he was definitely the only one who had spent so much money in the Outer Court.
After signing and confirming that these items would be sent to the Special Exchange Center tomorrow, Lan Xuanyu and Tang Zhenhua walked out of the Exchange Center.
The moment he walked out, he finally felt his heart ache because he had spent too much. He took out 61 purple emblems and handed them to his teacher. Initially, he wanted to haggle the 2 purple emblems, but Tang Ying firmly refused. After calculating his a.s.sets, Lan Xuanyu realized that he could still mobilize about 65 purple emblems, which included what he had left from his previous cultivation.
