Chapter 760: Deep Bitterness and Hatred
Lin Mu heard this and smiled secretly in his heart.
As expected, as he expected, Xu Hong took the initiative to bring up this matter.
He had not taken the initiative to talk about this matter before because in some cases, the difference in treatment between taking the initiative and taking the initiative of others is completely different, or even completely reversed.
Xu Hong spoke first, and he could undoubtedly take the initiative.
Next, whether to agree or not, and what the price is, are all up to him.
Moreover, Xu Hong spoke first, which can also truly prove that he values him very much.
In fact, with Xu Hong's vision and status, how could he not understand the difference between being active and passive, but he still chose to speak first.
This clearly wanted to tell Lin Mu that he values him very much.
This is the biggest reason why Lin Mu was secretly happy.
If he could get the full support of the Xu family, his actions in Qianjin City would undoubtedly become much easier.
He smiled secretly in his heart, but Lin Mu showed an embarrassed and hesitant look on his face, and he did not speak for a long time.
"Why, do you have something to hide?" Seeing Lin Mu like this, Xu Hong couldn't help but ask with concern.
Just now, Lin Mu had directly explained to him that the purpose of selling the jade slips was to earn spirit stones and accumulate resources for the tribulation. He helped the entire Xu family, tens of thousands of people, to buy one each, which was also a help to Lin Mu.
Regardless of whether the jade slips had the rumored effect or not, it was not a loss to be able to make friends with Lin Mu. If it really had the rumored effect, then he would make a fortune!
The children of the Xu family could all have huge gains, and he could also make friends with Lin Mu, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
One jade slip for receiving guidance, three hundred low-grade spirit stones, even if 40,000 jade slips were purchased, it would only be more than 10 million low-grade spirit stones, which was really nothing for the entire Xu family.
With such a small amount of effort, there was such a big gain. Is there any more cost-effective deal than this?
But when he saw Lin Mu suddenly look embarrassed, as if something went wrong, he had to suppress his joy and ask with concern.
"To be honest, I have a limited number of jade slips. In Qianjin City, I plan to sell only 100,000 jade slips." Lin Mu looked at Xu Hong and said with embarrassment, "Now you are asking to buy tens of thousands of them at once, which immediately disrupts my long-prepared plan."
"So that's how it is." Xu Hong heard this and immediately felt relieved. She said with a smile, "You sell the jade slips just to earn spirit stones. It doesn't matter who you sell them to. Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I will buy them at the same price. You don't have to worry about this."
Xu Hong kept comforting Lin Mu.
He looked at Lin Mu and saw that he had obviously misunderstood his meaning. He thought that he bought tens of thousands of them at once in order to get a discount. In this case, he would earn less spirit stones.
With this assurance, he believed that Lin Mu would feel much more at ease.
As expected, Lin Mu immediately smiled: "Master Xu is very easy to talk to."
Lin Mu changed the subject and said righteously: "Since that's the case, I will also be generous and sell 100,000 jade slips of reception in Qianjin City, 40,000 of which will be sold to the Xu family!"
"It's really straightforward!" Xu Hong gave a thumbs up.
"Each jade slip of reception costs 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. I wonder how many thousands you want?" While Lin Mu was talking, he picked up the storage bag and prepared to start the transaction.
"What?" Xu Hong was stunned for a moment, and almost spit out the tea that he had just slowly drank in his mouth, "How many spirit stones do you say for a jade slip of reception?"
"Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for one, no deception." Lin Mu smiled brightly.
"Isn't it 300 spirit stones per piece?" Xu Hong couldn't help asking, "Could it be that the Lord of Linhai City lied to me?"
"He didn't lie to you." Lin Mu said with a smile, "Before in Linhai City, it was indeed 300 spirit stones per piece, but now, I have raised the price!"
Xu Hong tried his best to stabilize his emotions and calm down.
Previously, the price of a jade slip for receiving guidance was 300 spirit stones, but now it has increased to 10,000 spirit stones per piece. This price increase is simply maddening.
He is the dignified head of the Xu family. Once he says something, it is like water spilled on the ground. He can't take it back at all.
He must do what he says.
Now Lin Mu suddenly told him that he originally planned to buy 40,000 jade slips for 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. This means that he needs 400 million spirit stones!
Such a large amount is not something that the entire Xu family can easily afford.
"I heard that the cost of your jade slip for receiving guidance is only 100 low-grade spirit stones. Why are you selling it so expensive?" Xu Hong swallowed his saliva and couldn't help asking.
He had always thought that Lin Mu acted uprightly and never asked for anything. He thought that Lin Mu was just like a dream, too unreal. Now, he finally understood that he was no different from those profiteers, and even more cunning than them!
The trap had been set long ago, waiting for him here.
Sometimes, you don't need to cheat people many times, just once is enough.
Four hundred million spirit stones in one go!
"Ten thousand spirit stones for one, it's really not expensive." Lin Mu patiently explained, "You must know how difficult it is to do business now, and my jade slips for receiving guidance have also paid a lot behind them. How can these efforts be reflected by the Qinglan jade that costs one hundred spirit stones. After the test in Linhai City, I found that the jade slips for receiving guidance are very valuable and will surely be popular in the entire cultivation world in the future!"
"Not to mention ten thousand spirit stones for one, in the future, it will be fifty thousand spirit stones, one hundred thousand spirit stones, or even one million spirit stones, all of which are promising!" Lin Mu said passionately.
"Do you mean that I have picked up a big bargain now?" Xu Hong's heart twitched and asked carefully.
Fifty thousand spirit stones for one jade slip for receiving guidance, and in the future it may be one hundred thousand spirit stones, or even one million spirit stones. If someone else said this to him, he would have slapped him long ago.
Even bragging should be done with a draft!
But when Lin Mu said this to him, he couldn't get angry.
On the one hand, he was going to make friends with Lin Mu, so it was impossible for him to turn against him before they had made good friends, right?
On the other hand, Lin Mu was too strong, and he might not be able to beat Lin Mu, so forget it!
The most important point is that if someone else said this, it would definitely be bragging, but Lin Mu said it, that would not necessarily be the case.
Because he himself was a miraculous existence.
Who could comprehend the sword domain in the Nascent Soul stage?
He had never heard of it before.
But Lin Mu did it!
But why couldn't he be happy at all? Did he really get a bargain?
"Needless to say!" Lin Mu said with certainty, "The entire Linhai City sold a total of 100,000 pieces, and the Xu family alone bought 40,000 pieces. Compared with other forces, the Xu family has a huge advantage, and the number is also completely better than other forces. The future development prospects are limitless, and it is also very promising to ascend to the throne of the strongest force in Qianjin City in one fell swoop!"
"Is such a small jade slip really as magical as you said?" Xu Hong couldn't help but say again.
Normally, he would not show his emotions, but today, when he saw Lin Mu, he was so shocked so many times that he was almost numb. He was too lazy to put on airs and pretend, so he just asked directly.
"You may not really understand the effect of the jade slips. I don't blame you for thinking so. Why don't I tell you about it." Lin Mu looked very generous and smiled, "Through the jade slips, cultivators can enter my Misty Fairyland. Everyone in Misty Fairyland will have an independent quiet room that no one else can enter. On the Qinghuan wall in the quiet room, there may be sixth-grade exercises, seventh-grade exercises, and even eighth-grade exercises, as well as some incredible and unheard-of secret techniques!"
"These techniques and secret techniques, even the sixth-grade techniques, are worth far more than 10,000 spirit stones, right?" Lin Mu looked at Xu Hong and asked.
Xu Hong nodded: "This is indeed true."
"Moreover, the wonder of Piaomiao Fairyland is not only that there may be high-level skills and secret techniques, but even if the Qinghuan Wall is empty, the cultivators can still refine their consciousness in the quiet room." Lin Mu smiled and said, "This is a good place to cultivate consciousness. You can spend 10,000 spirit stones to cultivate here forever. No matter what level of cultivation you have, you can refine your consciousness here. 10,000 spirit stones, isn't it expensive?"
"Not expensive." Xu Hong nodded again.
"I have many wonderful ideas about Piaomiao Wonderland, and there will be many benefits in the future. These benefits can only be obtained by cultivators who enter Piaomiao Wonderland first and work hard to temper their spiritual consciousness in it." Lin Mu stared at Xu Hong, as if he had taken a big advantage, and said, "If the Xu family enters 40,000 cultivators at once, there will definitely be many people who can obtain high-level skills and soar to the sky! All cultivators will also have a very fast progress in spiritual consciousness, and their overall strength will be improved."
"You make me excited!" Xu Hong smiled and praised, "If you become a liar, you will definitely become a person who reaches the pinnacle "
"You are too kind!" Lin Mu's old face turned red, and then he said righteously, "Every word I said is true, I never brag!"
"If everything is really as you said, then I really picked up a big bargain!" Xu Hong gritted his teeth and said, "I will believe you and buy 40,000 jade slips!"
"Master Xu is really straightforward!" Lin Mu was very excited and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised, "The Xu family will definitely reach the top of Qianjin City under your leadership in the future!"
"If so, I will live up to the expectations of my ancestors. At that time, I am willing to give you Xu Jiao!" Xu Hong said with a smile.
"I dare not climb high." Lin Mu smiled, and immediately patted the storage bag and began to take out the jade slips for Xu Hong, a total of 40,000.
Xu Hong solemnly put away the jade slips, kept his word, and took out 400 million spirit stones for Lin Mu.
"Please don't publicize the fact that I secretly traded with Lord Xu." Lin Mu collected the spirit stone with satisfaction, and then warned Xu Hong, "I'm worried that other forces will find out about this and cause trouble for me. It will be difficult to deal with it. Just thinking about this matter is a headache."
Lin Mu looked sad, and immediately said goodbye to Xu Hong and left the hall.
Looking at Lin Mu's bitter and vengeful back, Xu Hong was stunned.
He suddenly realized.
He had obviously spent 400 million spirit stones, which was a huge loss, so why did Lin Mu still look so sad, as if he had suffered a great loss?
Who was the one who suffered the loss?
