Chapter 28 Boat(1/2)
The mushroom in Du Kang's hand has a hemispherical cap, bright red color, and a tender white handle. It looks cute and cute.
The mushrooms also had a unique smell of fungi. Du Kang did not hold his breath, but allowed this strange smell to flow into his nose. Soon he felt a sense of pleasure emerge in his heart, and his whole body was refreshed.
.
Talking about toxicity of anything, regardless of dosage, is just a hooligan. With Du Kang's current mental and physical strength, if he does not eat it, but just inhales a little bit of the smell of the mushroom in his body, it will only refresh his mind and will not cause him much harm.
.
"This is a new product that was just picked up on Panshan Island last month. It has not lost its spirit yet. It is absolutely fresh."
The old man saw Du Kang inspecting the goods and introduced the origin of the Panban mushroom. He also took out a pair of horns tied together with a red rope from the thick fog and placed them on the table.
"Half a year ago, there was a big buffalo demon causing trouble on the beach. It was killed by the white-bone demon soldiers of the Bai family. The entire demon body was also sold piecemeal. This horn fell into my hands by chance. One thousand three hundred taels, the whole
There is nothing cheaper than this in Tuwei Alley.”
The pair of buffalo horns were two feet long. When placed on the table, they looked like two dark, sharp scimitars stacked together. Under the light of the candle, they reflected an oily luster.
Then the old man took out a small, palm-long bag and put it on the table. He untied the rope that tied the mouth of the bag tightly. There were pea-sized fruits inside, and the outer surface was full of shrunken fruits.
"There are a total of one hundred and fifty sycamore seeds in this bag, sold by the piece, thirty taels per piece, and four thousand five hundred taels per bag; a pair of buffalo demon horns, sold according to the quality, totaling 2,800 taels;
The Panban mushrooms produced that year weighed one, two, three, and four cents. I will give you a fraction of the market value and sell for two thousand, two hundred taels. The goods you want are all available. If there is nothing wrong with the inspection, just pay.
A total of nine thousand five hundred taels of silver, thank you for your patronage."
Du Kang stepped forward, touched the horn of the buffalo with his hand, then inserted his hand into the bag of sycamore seeds and turned over the dry and hard fruits inside. Information about the two products appeared in front of him.
【Name】: Wutongzi
Level: low-grade wood spiritual object
characteristic:
Medicinal properties: It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, digesting and harmonizing the stomach, stopping bleeding and moisturizing the lungs, purging fire and relieving troubles.
Phoenix Food: If eaten by monsters with Phoenix bloodline, it can slightly increase the awakening of the bloodline in the body.
[Name]: Big Demon's Horn (Buffalo)
Grade: middle to lower grade monster organ
characteristic:
Like a knife: The hardest bone on the body of the big demon. Because it is shaped like a knife, it can be used as a scimitar after simple processing.
Activity: Even though it has been cut off for half a year, the remaining flesh and blood of the great demon in the horn is still not completely dead and can be used as a variety of spell materials.
The advancement of the Wing Transplantation Technique is different from that of other spells. It cannot be achieved instantly. Instead, it requires constant consumption of phoenix seeds to warm and nourish the phoenix blood in the body. After the phoenix blood level is exceeded, the advancement of the spell will also come naturally.
.
The environment of Bibohai is very suitable for dragons to survive, but the conditions are average for phoenixes. It is a place with many dragons and few phoenixes. Plants such as phoenix trees, which are favored by phoenixes, are naturally rare in number.
This bag of one hundred and fifty sycamore seeds is already the entire inventory of this store.
Fortunately, the digestion and absorption of Wutong seeds takes time. Du Kang estimated that this bag would be enough for him to eat for a long time, and he would not have to worry about the advancement of the winging method in a short period of time.
As for the pair of buffalo horns.
There is no order in which the four kinds of demon horns are implanted in the horn transplantation method. It is only a mandatory requirement that the last kind of demon horn implanted in the body is the big demon horn, and now it is finally completed.
Although this spell is finished after reaching the D level, and the skills attached to the spell are all auxiliary, it is the only spell in Du Kang that focuses on the path of essence and air. After being cultivated to the highest level, it can increase the demonic power by four times.
capacity, the improvement in combat power is extremely obvious.
Du Kang was extremely satisfied with the Angle Planting Method. If he could not obtain other favorite Qi Dao spells later, he planned to advance it to a higher level after achieving certain achievements in Fu Lu Dao.
The identification ability of the panel has always been trustworthy. There was no manipulation on the three products, and even the quantity of Wutong seeds was exactly the same. This made Du Kang a little disappointed.
The price offered by this black shop, called the Sundry Shop, was already the cheapest in Tuwei Alley. Du Kang could only take out the gold bars he had exchanged with silver on the road from the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe.
It is worth mentioning that the 100,000 taels of silver that Du Kang took from the Sheng family did not include any willpower. It was obviously drained before being sent to the workshop.
After taking the silver that had been melted by the red face and reshaped by the white face to the bank, the bank also had the means to sense the power of will, so it only exchanged it for Du Kang for gold that also had no power of will.
Seventy-five taels of gold were shaken out of the sleeves one after another. Of course, such a heavy gold bar could not really be placed in the light and loose sleeves.
But the store owner, who was well-informed and even had the skills to extract items from a cigarette, didn't even raise an eyebrow, and just placed the gold bars on the small scale on the counter table one by one and weighed them.
"The gold bars total seventy-five taels, 99% of which are pure gold. There is no willpower in them. They are priced according to their actual weight. In addition to the two thousand taels of silver deposit paid for yesterday's order, the total is nine thousand five hundred taels of silver. The money and goods will be cleared in person.
.”
The old man in the store pushed the goods on the table in front of Du Kang with a hoarse voice, indicating that the transaction was completed.
In front of the shopkeeper, he put these things into his sleeves, Du Kang swung his sleeves coolly, walked up to the shopkeeper who started taking snuff again and said.
"Shopkeeper, I think your sundry store has a simple name, but it is indeed very well-connected and powerful. Can I get some information from you?"
"Our store is open to welcome customers without hesitation. Everything is clearly priced. As long as you have enough money, it doesn't matter what you want to ask."
Now that Du Kang has just made a fortune, problems that can be solved with a small amount of money are not considered big problems.
"I want to buy a big ship that can go to sea. The price should be less than one hundred thousand taels of silver. I wonder if there is any news about such a sea-going ship for sale on the market recently?"
Although Hei Rulan's three-masted sailboat was only sold for 90,000 taels of silver, and Du Kang could afford it with the cash in his hand, he wanted to shop around before deciding who to buy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to the price factor, the identity of Hei Rulan as a spy on Heimu Island also made Du Kang have some concerns, and the coincidental encounter that led him to Fulai Inn when he first met Qingdai made him feel
Somewhat suspicious.
If there were other choices, Du Kang would still prefer to buy someone else's boat.
"Since the guest proposed to buy a sea-going ship, I think he should have a certain understanding of the sea-going ship trading in Canglan City."
The old man in the shop turned around, took out a wooden sailboat model from the many compartments of the cabinet behind him, and tapped the deck of the ship with his fingers.
"What is the most profitable thing in Canglan City? Apart from the various exclusive businesses controlled by the Shengbai family, there are only real estate and shipping. Let’s not mention the houses in the city for the moment. Just talking about shipping is a big business.
knowledge."
"Please also ask the elderly for advice."
Du Kang is a very realistic person. When he heard that someone was giving him free classes, he even changed his title.
"Most of the sea-going ships in Bibohai use iron star wood. It is named because the wood is hard and has a five-pointed star pattern after being planed. Ships made of iron star wood can even be repaired for five or six hundred years and can still go to sea.
For long voyages. Although this tree is an ordinary tree, it grows slowly and can only grow in the Blue Wave Sea. However, it has been five or six hundred years since the Blue Wave Sea was developed, and mature iron star wood has become increasingly rare."
The old man's fingers tapped, and the sailboat model on the table made a dull sound. Du Kang looked carefully and saw small, dim stars on the dark wooden texture of the model.
This model is clearly made of iron star wood.
"Therefore, although more and more sea-going ships made of iron star wood have been built over the past few hundred years, their prices have not become lower and lower, but have become higher and higher. In the blue sea, there are quite a lot of gold and silver.
It will also become a hard currency that will never fall in price."
The old man's voice echoed in the small and crowded shop, but Du Kang's eyes had already moved along the sailboat to the counter of the same color as it, and then moved along the counter to the densely packed wooden lattice on both sides of the room.
Through the dust accumulated on the partitions, you can faintly see sparse little stars embedded in them.
All the furniture in this shop is actually made of iron star wood. The owner here either wants to hoard large quantities of this wood to make a fortune, or he likes this kind of tree very much.
Looking at the cheerful and chattering old man, Du Kang couldn't tell which type he belonged to.
"What the old man wants to say is that the market for sea ships... no, the iron star wood will get better and better?"
"Not only is it good, it will rise sharply sooner or later. This kind of tree only grows one foot in ten years and becomes useful in two to three hundred years. Now there are not many iron star trees left on the entire Bibohai Island. Waiting for shipbuilding wood
When demand exceeds supply, its price will skyrocket..."
Du Kang had already heard something wrong and interrupted him directly.
"But, I'm just here to inquire about shipping news, and I'm not interested in the price increase of iron star wood in the future."
"Young man, you are still young and don't know how long the road of life is. People must have a long-term plan for their future life in order to live comfortably. I have a batch of iron star wood here that has been used as coffins for many years.
, I want to sell them in the last few years of my life and have a good time. Are young people willing to take this opportunity to make a fortune?"
Hearing these Tu Qiong Deng Jian's words, Du Kang shook his head secretly.
Sure enough, nothing is free in the world, and there is no good teacher who doesn't charge tuition. If one suddenly appears, he must have some plans for you.
Let's not talk about whether the news about the scarcity of Iron Star Wood is true. Even if an opportunity to make a fortune really comes to Du Kang, he will not invest all his short-term liquidity in a game that will take a long time to verify.
A big gamble.
Du Kang, who has a golden finger, is the right way to practice magic as soon as possible with the wealth that will not be taken away in life or death. The time it takes to make a fortune by speculating on a batch of timber may be enough for him to reach the top of the world.
"I'm afraid I will live up to the old man's love. I just want a sea ship and I am eager to go to sea. If I buy your wood, I will not be able to build the ship in a short time."
"Looking at the face, the guest is a wealthy man. It's not difficult to eat nearly one hundred thousand taels of wood."
"Financial resources are limited, so let's talk about whether there is any news about selling the boat."
Du Kang's blunt refusal caused the smile on the old man's face to fall immediately, and he responded calmly.
"There must be people selling boats in this huge Canglan City. As a rule of thumb, leave an address and we will give you the news within three days."
The snuff bottle that had been put down long ago was taken to the old man's nose and sniffed lightly. After that, he never looked at Du Kang again, which was obviously to see him off.
Du Kang was not upset when he saw this.
