“Your Highness the Ninth Prince, the entire Yunwu County Kingdom only has a total of two seventh-order True Martial Treasure Artifact grade refining furnaces. One of them, is held by the president of the Inscription Guild. And the other, is the one in front of you.”
Qin Ya led Zhang Ruochen into the armoury and came underneath a three-metre tall bronze refining furnace.
This time it wasn’t the two of them who came in alone, the Nine Sheriff Lords, Shan Xiangling, and Mo Hanlin were also with them.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the cauldron in front of him and nodded, this bronze cauldron made him very satisfied, saying, “This refining furnace should be very expensive, right?”
If it wasn’t expensive, it would have already been bought by another refiner.
Qin Ya slightly pursed her lips and said, “Naturally it is very expensive, other refiners asked for the price, and the price that slave told them all started at two million silver coins. Since it’s His Highness the Ninth Prince, naturally the slave must give a half price, one million silver coins, no less!”
“One million silver coins, that’s too expensive, you’re robbing, aren’t you?” The Ninth Sheriff Lord looked at Qin Ya very unfavourably and said with some displeasure.
Shan Xiangling was also secretly surprised, knowing that the entire Red Cloud Sect’s yearly income was almost half a million silver coins. A single smithing furnace was actually going to be sold for one million silver coins.
It was too expensive!
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, ”It’s not expensive, it’s cheap. A seventh rank True Martial Treasure Weapon weapon is at least a million silver coins. Seventh rank True Martial Treasure Weapon grade refining furnaces are even more expensive, all of them are at least two million silver coins. Boss lady, if you’re doing business like this, aren’t you afraid of losing your money?”
“How can more silver coins fill the emptiness inside? If His Highness the Ninth Prince can accompany my slave for one night, what if this refining furnace is given to you for nothing?” Qin Ya’s charming eyes were like silk, staring at Zhang Ruochen with affection, her eyes incomparably seductive.
Zhang Ruochen coughed dryly and said, “I will gather one million silver coins as soon as possible, and I hope that Boss Lady will not sell the refining furnace for the time being. I will …… take my leave first!”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen quickly walked out of the armoury as if fleeing for his life.
The Ninth County Lord chased after him and said, “Ninth brother, you really want to buy that one Refining Furnace, one million silver coins is not a small amount of money. Although the royal family sends silver coins to all the princes and county lords every month, it is simply impossible to raise a million silver coins.”
“I am able to receive three thousand silver coins a month for expenses, which is already the most amongst all the county lords. You can only receive a maximum of five thousand silver coins a month, I reckon?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Ninth sister, just don’t worry, I can quickly raise a million silver coins without having to receive silver coins from the royal family.”
A seventh rank True Martial Treasure Weapon grade Refining Furnace was not something that could be bought anywhere, so naturally, one could not miss it.
As long as he had the refining furnace, he would be able to continuously refine spatial rings, and by then, would he still lack silver coins?
Right now, he still had 800,000 silver coins left, all of which were stored in the Martial City Money Bank.
How to earn the other two hundred thousand silver coins?
Zhang Ruochen looked at the spatial ring he wore on his thumb, and suddenly, with a flash of light, a hint of a smile appeared on his face as he said, “Martial City Money Bank!”
Qin Ya walked out from the armoury and put away the smile on her face, her gaze fixed on the direction Zhang Ruochen, the Nine County Lords, and Shan Xiangling had left, saying, “He was able to do two things at once during the end of the year examination, and he has clearly cultivated his spiritual power to above the twentieth rank.”
Mo Hanlin stood behind Qin Ya and moved slightly, saying, “He’s only sixteen years old, it should be unlikely that he has cultivated his spiritual power to the twentieth rank!”
“Originally, I also thought it was unlikely, after all, one’s energy is limited, it’s impossible for one’s martial talent to be unbelievable and one’s spiritual power to be so unbelievable as well. However, since he came to buy a refining furnace, it means that he wants to become a refiner. Perhaps, his spiritual power is really very powerful!”
Qin Ya’s eyes narrowed slightly as she said, “Mo Hanlin, go to the Inscription Guild and check, the Ninth Prince has definitely been there in recent times. I want to know, what level has his spiritual power reached?”
“I’ll go check now!” Mo Hanlin bowed to Qin Ya and immediately retreated.
“Little fellow, you’re really making me more and more curious!” Qin Ya stretched out her Yin Hong’s fragrant tongue and gently added to her red lips, smiling like a vixen.
Sitting on the carriages, Zhang Ruochen, the Nine County Lords, and Shan Xiangling, rushed towards the Martial City Money Bank.
The Ninth County Lord asked, ”Ninth Brother, what are you doing at the Martial City Money Bank? Could it be that you have deposited a million silver coins there?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said, “I used to have a million silver coins, but I’ve used a lot of them, and now I only have almost 800,000 silver coins left.”
Hearing this, the eyes of Shan Xiangling, who was sitting in the carriages, brightened slightly.
“Eight hundred thousand silver coins? How is that possible? Ninth Brother, where did you get such a huge fortune?” The Ninth Sheriff Lord was naturally very shocked and somewhat less convinced.
Not to mention the Ninth County Lord, even if it was the head of any family in the King City, it would be difficult to come up with eight hundred thousand silver coins at once.
Although the Lin Family was able to take out one million two hundred thousand silver coins to purchase a Spirit Grade Lower Grade Sword Skill, that was the entire family’s financial resources, not Lin Fengxian’s own.
Lin Fengxian being able to come up with half a million silver coins in one go would be very good!
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have anything to avoid, anyway, when he purchased the Refining Furnace, the amount of wealth he possessed would still be revealed.
Besides, with his current status, I’m afraid there are not many people in the King City who would dare to blatantly rob him of his silver coins.
Shan Xiangling softly said, “Even if His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has 800,000 silver coins, but to sell the Refining Furnace, he is still 200,000 silver coins short.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Therefore, I’m going to do a business with the Martial Market Money Bank. As for what kind of business, I can’t tell you guys yet.”
The Martial Market Money Bank was definitely quite interested in spatial rings.
The treasures of spatial storage were too useful to the Martial City Money Bank!
Doing business with the Martial Market Money Bank would be able to maximise the benefits of the spatial ring.
The Martial Market Money Mansion, which was built in a very gorgeous manner, had a large number of guards in armour guarding the four sides of the Money Mansion at all times.
In terms of defensive power, the defensive power of the Martial Market Money Mansion was second only to the Royal Palace of the Yunwu County Kingdom.
Zhang Ruochen, the Nine County Lords, and Shan Xiangling had just stepped down from the top of the carriages when a silhouette approached.
“Greetings to His Highness, the Ninth Prince, the Ninth County Lord! I am the Ninth Steward of the Martial Market Money Bank, greetings to the two of you.” An old man with a goatee beard immediately greeted him with a smile on his face as he respectfully bowed to Zhang Ruochen and the Nine County Lords.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You know me?”
The Ninth Steward laughed, “If the old man didn’t even know His Highness the Ninth Prince, he wouldn’t be worthy of being the Steward of the Martial City Money Bank.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, that’s fine! I have a not-so-small piece of business that I wish to discuss with the owner of the Martial Market Money Bank, so I would also like to ask Lord Steward to introduce me on his behalf.”
“Lol lol! Who do you think you are? A mere prince, how dare you ask the Master of the Bank to personally talk to you? It’s more like the Yunwu County King coming personally.” Liu Chengfeng walked out from the gates of the Martial City Money Bank, his head held high, his expression arrogant, and his eyes carried a few unkind looks.
He seemed to be intentionally trying to climb the ladder with Zhang Ruochen, so he also brought along two beautiful young maids, fourteen or fifteen years old, both of them very pretty looking.
Only, those two maids of his, compared to the Nine County Lords and Shan Xiangling, both their beauty and temperament were too far behind.
Liu Xifeng arrogantly said, “If you really have business, with this prince’s status, I can totally talk to you.”
Zhang Ruochen sized up Liu Xifeng and said indifferently, “The business I want to talk about, I’m afraid that with your status, you’re not qualified enough.”
“What? Do you know what my son’s status is?” A cold colour appeared on Liu Xifeng’s face.
“Not really sure!” Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Zhanfeng said, “Then listen carefully! My son is the son of the owner of the Wu City Money Vault, Liu Xifeng. You should have heard of my name even if you haven’t met me, right?”
“Sorry! I really haven’t heard of it!” Zhang Ruochen directly ignored Liu Xifeng and said to the Ninth Steward, “Lord Steward, please report to the Lord of the Manor, and if the Lord of the Manor does not see me, I will leave immediately.”
“Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, wait a moment.”
The Ninth Steward immediately rushed to report to the Mansion Master of the Martial Market Money Bank.
If it was the Zhang Ruochen of the past, he naturally wouldn’t have received such attention. However, it was different now, as his performance during the End of Year Examination had long been secretly watched by the major forces in the King City.
No one would underestimate a supreme genius, and no one could say if he would become the Grand King of the Yunwu County Kingdom in the future?
Seeing Zhang Ruochen actually ignoring him, Liu Xifeng’s heart became even angrier, feeling that he had lost face in front of Shan Xiangling.
“Just wait and see! My father will definitely not see you. Your little bit of martial arts cultivation can only be considered a small grasshopper in my father’s eyes.” Liu Xifeng sneered.
Zhang Ruochen just hugged his arms and waited quietly, not intending to pay any attention to Liu Xifeng at all.
The eyes of the Ninth County Lord and Shan Xiangling also revealed a few looks of contempt, thinking that Liu Xifeng was too unqualified and arrogant, and was far too different from the Ninth Prince.
……
“The Ninth Prince? He wants to do business with me?”
Liu Chuan Shen carried his hands behind his back and stood by the lakeshore, his body’s aura emanating out like a lofty mountain, giving off a mountainous feeling.
“That’s right! If the Banker doesn’t see it, I will go and send him away now. But ……”
“But what?”
The ninth steward knelt on the ground and continued, “That’s another matter, the identity of the mysterious person who auctioned off the Spirit Grade Lower Grade Sword Skill at the central auction house last time has been found out, and it’s none other than that ninth prince. He has a total wealth of eight hundred thousand silver coins in the Martial Market Money Bank!”
“Oh! A young age to have such a huge fortune! What kind of strange encounters did he get in these few months?”
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Liu Chuan Shen’s mouth as he said, “It seems like it’s still possible to meet him, and he might be able to bring me a surprise.”
