Chapter 72 Transactions
"Do you know what you're talking about?!"
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, then her face turned cold casually, and she pointed directly at Li Chen and shouted.
"One million taels of gold, even if it is the war reparations between the two countries, it has not reached this amount!"
"Who in the world would use this million taels of gold to buy this bottle of medicine!"
Although the Sword Cultivation Continent is respected by sword cultivation, compared to the high-ranking Sword Cultivation Sects, those families who have accumulated a lot of wealth are the most direct powerhouses in the eyes of ordinary people, because these people directly control all aspects of their lives.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the family's accumulation of 100,000 taels of gold was enough to become a real chaebol, and such chaebols counted the entire Great Zhou Dynasty only a few dozen, and there were even fewer like the Lin family.
However, even if it is a legendary merchant family like the Lin family, which claims to be rich and rival the country, the real wealth of the entire family is only worth about two million taels of gold, and the amount that can be circulated on the books is far less than this amount.
Now Li Chen asked for one million taels when he opened his mouth, which was enough to make the Lin family's wealth directly cut in half, and the consequences were almost unimaginable, so Lin Xue couldn't accept this condition at all at this moment.
"I don't know if others will pay a million taels to buy it, but my bottle of medicine is worth a million taels in my eyes. ”
"If you can't afford it, then you can go to someone else, someone else's longevity pill may be better than mine. ”
Li Chen said lightly.
That being said, everyone knew that there was no place in the entire continent except for Li Chen where there was this kind of life-prolonging elixir.
So the meaning of Li Chen's words is very simple - if you can't afford a million, then get out!
Lin Xue forcibly suppressed her anger, and tried to say to Li Chen calmly: "Li Chen, this million taels is really difficult for a strong man, even if you ask those who are known as divine doctors in the world to take action, it will only take ten thousand taels at most. ”
"Can those miracle doctors make a dying person immediately become as free as a normal person? Can those miracle doctors really rejuvenate and make an incurable person directly become alive?" Li Chen shook his head and smiled.
"You and I both know that if the old man of your family can be rescued with medical skills, you will not search the entire Great Zhou to find any 'real wood' like this. ”
Lin Xue was speechless.
Li Chen looked at her and said indifferently: "I can hand over this bottle of 'Yin Yang Two Yuan Pill' to you first, and when your Lin family vacates this million taels, you can give it to me when you want." ”
Lin Xue was stunned, what kind of trouble is this?
Li Chen didn't care, and directly stuffed the bottle of elixir into Lin Xue's hand, and said at the same time: "Although this bottle of elixir can prolong life, it is not the same as immortality, taking this elixir is equivalent to making your old man ten years younger, what should be done in ten years." ”
Lin Xue carefully took the bottle of elixir, and was stunned for a long time, countless doubts and thoughts flashed in her eyes.
After a long time, she suddenly took a deep breath, and her whole person seemed to become a little more relaxed, so she smiled at Li Chen: "Since Li Chen, you are willing to give the pill first and then collect the money, then my Lin family will thank you first!"
"After I go back, I will definitely ask the Lin family to raise this million taels, and then I will send it to you. ”
After saying that, she carefully put away the bottle of pill close to her, as if she was afraid that Li Chen would regret it.
Li Chen nodded, and then gave Lu Nan beside him a look, and Lu Nan asked Lin Xue to give the urn of the previous Lin family's guards.
After Lin Xue took the urns, she didn't say anything, and left directly with Mr. Wu.
Only Lu Nan's hand was trembling slightly, he had personally experienced how good the effect of this Yin and Yang Dual-Yuan Pill was, such a precious elixir made Lin Xue in front of him take away a large bottle empty-handed!
However, since it was Li Chen's meaning, it was inconvenient for him to ask directly, but like everyone else, he silently watched Lin Xue and the two leave.
......
It wasn't until Lin Xue and Mr. Wu really left the Heavenly Demon Valley and walked a long way that Mr. Wu turned his head to Lin Xue beside him and said suspiciously: "Miss Lin, you promised to give Li Jianwang one million taels of gold before, is it true? This price is too heavy, and the people in the Lin family will not really agree." ”
Mr. Wu has a close relationship with the Lin family, so he knows very well how a wealthy family like the Lin family really operates.
A family like this has always been buying and selling, and no matter how much it costs to buy, at least it is necessary to get the same selling price.
And like this time, spending a whole million taels of gold to buy a bottle of elixir that can only be eaten by the old man of the Lin family is only in exchange for the old man's ten-year lifespan, and the one million taels of gold spent will never come back.
Such a price of losing all one's money is unacceptable to any merchant family.
Lin Xue took out the bottle of pill in her arms again, tossed it in her palm, and after confirming that there was really a pill in it, she put it back with satisfaction, and at the same time smiled lightly: "Mr. Wu, of course the Lin family will not agree to this price, but you have also seen that it was Li Chen himself who stuffed this bottle of pill into my hand, how can I give it back again?"
"Miss Lin...... Do you know what you're talking about!" Mr. Wu's face changed dramatically.
"yes, I was lying to him. Lin Xue smiled without hesitation, "Even if it is to lie to him, after this elixir is taken by my grandfather, I will throw away this bottle." At that time, there was no evidence, and all the rhetoric was just unilateral words by him Li Chen himself, and he didn't have any evidence at all to prove that our Lin family owed him money. ”
"Even if he is strong, it's not that my Lin family can't afford to invite the Sword King, and just because of the two armies of Eastern Wu, my Lin family also has some face, so it's not a problem for the capital to protect my Lin family once. No matter how powerful Li Chen is, can he still go to the Lin family under the protection of the military department and the Sword King to ask if he is guilty?"
After that, she seemed to be satisfied with her seamless plan, laughed to herself, and then walked away.
Mr. Wu was stunned for a long time, and kept frowning and looking at Lin Xue's brisk back, but finally shook his head silently, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Lin, you are still too young." The ability of a truly strong person like him is not something you can imagine, what he says is the proof, his strength is the proof, this money can't be relied on no matter what, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable......"
The Sword King is a strong man, looking at the entire continent, he is also a strong man who is really on the stage, and they are all the existence of a deterrent party.
How can such a hegemon-level existence be bullied by the so-called wealth and power?
After that, he also hurriedly followed Lin Xue's footsteps, and at the same time secretly planned to go back to persuade the old man of the Lin family.
Even if you can't make up one million taels, you have to take out at least 100,000 taels to appease Li Jianwang first, and then discuss the rest with Li Jianwang.
If Li Jianwang can relax at that time, it will be good to say, if he still insists on collecting one million taels, I am afraid that the Lin family will end very miserable whether they break the fortune and avoid disasters or resist to the end.
......
On the side of the Heavenly Demon Valley, Lu Nan has been pacing back and forth anxiously for a long time.
The disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect under him were even more found fault with him for no reason, and they were found to lecture and abuse them one by one.
Li Chen saw everything in his eyes on the side, so he directly used his aura as a guide, and said in Lu Nan's ear through the air: "If you have something to ask, then just ask directly, don't be so embarrassed for the people below." ”
Lu Nan really let go of the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and then ran over in a hurry, and bowed respectfully to Li Chen: "Master, the disciple does have something to ask. ”
"Just ask. Li Chen put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky above the Heavenly Demon Valley, his eyes were deep, and he said without looking back.
"Master, how precious is that 'Yin Yang Two Yuan Pill', why did you let the Lin family woman take it away so easily?"
"What if the Lin family doesn't admit it and doesn't want to give you the one million taels at that time?"
Li Chen turned his head, stared at Lu Nan with a smile, and said, "It's very simple, if he doesn't give it to the Lin family, then I'll go and get it myself." At that time, if the Lin family really can't spare this money, then I will let them return the amount they shouldn't have got. ”
"Master, you mean ......" Lu Nan was startled and said in a trembling voice.
An abyss-like glow appeared in Li Chen's eyes, but there was no sadness or joy in his words, but he said indifferently: "If you don't pay back the money, you will pay for your life." ”
Lu Nan took a deep breath, trembling with uncontrollable fear, and didn't dare to say a word.
At the beginning, he had heard similar words in Li Chen's place, and that was when he was in the Northern Spirit Sword Sect.
Leng Ruhai, who was already dead, had been forced to use six thousand taels of gold to save his life, if Leng Ruhai was unwilling to pay this money at the beginning, I am afraid that even he Lu Nan would be affected, and he would have died in the Spirit Sword Mountain Range a long time ago.
No matter how beautiful and powerful these sword spirits are in the eyes of the world, in the eyes of Li Chen in front of them, they are no different from ants on the ground, and they can be pinched to death at will.
Li Chen no longer paid attention to Lu Nan, but turned around again, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky above the Heavenly Demon Valley, thoughtful.
At this time, the Immortal Venerable, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly praised in Li Chen's mind:
"You finally have the heart that an immortal cultivator should have, in this world, only great strength is the true truth. ”
"No matter how much the ants believe in the power of power and wealth, in the face of truly powerful power, it is just an ordinary thing that comes and goes at a moment's notice. ”
"What's more, this time you still do what these ants said about the deal, and in that case, then this deal must not be completed, otherwise it will be repaid with something else. ”
"Since you are a disciple of the deity, you naturally can't lose face of the deity. In this world, no one can owe money to the deity and live intact. ”
Li Chen nodded slightly, and thought silently in his heart: "Master Xianzun, you finally recognize me as an apprentice." ”
