Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Despite knowing that Lu Cheng's talent for alchemy was unparalleled.

But now that he's surrounded by so many people, Old Pi isn't really feeling confident.

Old Pi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Cheng come downstairs.

Fifty doses of the blood-activating powder are not many; each dose is only the size of a palm.

But when they were laid out in front of everyone, Lao Pi's reliability immediately increased significantly.

Those who had initially harbored doubts dispelled their concerns and eagerly held up their silver coins, urging Old Pi to begin selling.

As Old Pi struck a gong beside him with a "thud," the scene instantly erupted.

Before anyone could speak, someone immediately ordered five servings.

Once someone took the lead, the rest couldn't hold back any longer.

One person says they're ordering five portions, another says they're ordering ten, and even ordering three portions will draw criticism from others for wasting time.

"I'll pay two ounces for these ready-made blood-activating powders!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

Waiting an extra five or three days would save an extra four coins of silver, and most people would indeed choose to do so.

But when someone suddenly wanted to buy ready-made blood-activating powder, everyone's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the present.

Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.

Although these so-called "pre-sale" pills are cheaper, it's only the beginning, so what if something else happens?

For someone who is unwilling to take any risks, spending two taels of silver to buy a freshly made blood-activating powder is a worthwhile deal.

After all, the market price is three taels, and other reliable channels sell it for around two taels.

As a result, many people are also planning to buy in-stock items.

This scene far exceeded Lao Pi's expectations, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"this……"

In this situation, the worst thing is to lack confidence.

If there are goods in stock and people willing to spend more money to buy them, why not sell them?

Old Pi hesitated for a moment, and some people immediately became suspicious.

Even those who had been holding up silver coins to place an order started to feel uneasy and lowered their hands.

"Are you selling it or not? Say something!"

"Exactly, do you only have these fifty portions?"

Those who had been standing in the crowd with gloomy eyes seemed to have found a way out and started shouting.

Old Pi shook his head repeatedly, about to say "sell," when suddenly the chubby boy squeezed through the crowd holding a contract:

"Where's my blood-activating powder? Redeem mine first! Redeem mine first!"

Old Pi reacted quickly upon seeing this.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said to the person who had offered two taels of silver:

"Sir, I'm sorry, but these medicines have already been sold. If you want to buy them, you'll have to join the queue."

Seeing this, the man reluctantly withdrew.

Before the chubby boy could take away his ten doses of blood-activating powder, the others squeezed in one after another.

The fifty doses of medicine were paid out in an instant.

As the chubby boy and his friends "exchanged" all fifty doses of the blood-activating powder, the scene instantly exploded.

The onlookers, who had been half-believing the man's questions, now saw that someone was actually making a payment, and considering that the Black Market was backing them up, they had nothing to worry about.

They all rushed forward again, holding up their silver coins.

The five contracts that the chubby guy and the others originally intended to create a lively atmosphere ended up solving an unexpected problem.

The two hundred units available for the five-day and ten-day sales sold out almost instantly.

The shares available a month later were also being bought up quickly.

They almost always buy five or ten portions.

Some have even gone so far as to consider reselling these items, placing orders for fifty units.

Not only people from the Black Market flocked over.

People who heard the news kept coming to the Black Market.

Old Pi's shop was quickly surrounded by a crowd.

Half an hour later, all the shares were sold out.

Even Old Pi was surprised by the result.

After the crowd dispersed, the group returned to the shop rented by Lu.

Old Pi flipped through the hastily jotted-down diary entries he had just made:

"Five days, one tael and six mace, one hundred portions, totaling one hundred and sixty taels, with eighty taels actually deposited into the account."

Half of the money for each contract needs to be paid to the black market, so out of the 160 taels, only 80 taels have been received so far.

Liu Chang'an quickly wrote out eighty taels of silver:

"Eighty taels, full amount."

Liu Wan'er wrote "eighty taels" in the account book.

Old Pi:

"Ten days, one tael and five mace, one hundred portions, seventy-five taels."

Liu Chang'an:

"Seventy-five taels, full amount."

Old Pi:

"One month's payment, 1.4 thousand taels; two thousand shares, 1,400 taels."

This time, it took Liu Chang'an quite a while to type it out:

"Fourteen hundred taels, the full amount."

Liu Wan'er then said in conclusion:

"A total of one thousand five hundred and fifty-five taels."

Looking at the huge box of money, Old Pi and the others swallowed hard.

Lu Cheng nodded and said to everyone:

"We currently have 110 doses of medicinal herbs, 190 doses of blood-activating powder, and over 300 taels of silver."

"Old Pi will use all three hundred taels, along with the eighty taels he will receive five days later, to buy the ingredients for the Blood-Activating Powder."

"In this way, we have a full 1,060 doses of the Blood-Activating Powder, which is enough to handle the upcoming deliveries."

"And this silver," Lu Cheng said, patting the more than 1,500 taels of silver:

"We continue to use it to exchange for contracts with the black market."

"Do we need to change it again?" the chubby boy asked.

Everyone else also looked at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng nodded and directly outlined the next steps of the plan:

"One thousand five hundred and fifty-five taels of silver can be exchanged for at least two thousand two hundred delivery contracts for a month from the black market."

After silently calculating in their minds, everyone found that the result was indeed as Lu Cheng had said.

Each contract needs to be paid to the black market in advance as collateral for half of its value, which is seven qian of silver.

So now, this amount of silver can indeed be exchanged for two thousand two hundred contracts.

Old Pi said:

"So what happened then? Didn't we keep these contracts?"

Lu Cheng nodded:

"The next plan will be launched using the contracts we have."

"These contracts are guaranteed by the black market, and with the one hundred doses of blood-activating powder to be delivered on time in five days, their credibility will not be questioned."

"We then used these two thousand-plus contracts as collateral at a pawnshop."

"In this way, we can get back 3,080 taels of silver."

"Then, by repeating this method, three thousand and eighty taels of silver can be turned into six thousand one hundred and sixty taels of silver."

Old Pi was stunned for a long time, then slapped his thigh:

"Great, what a brilliant idea of ​​making money from money!"

"If we keep mortgaging and buying, and buying back mortgages in this cycle, wouldn't we be able to amass a million taels of silver?"

"hiss!"

Everyone except Lu Cheng gasped in shock.

Lu Cheng looked at Old Pi as if he were an idiot and shook his head, saying:

"Wouldn't this just be giving interest to illegal pawnshops and black market dealers for nothing?"

The black market charged half interest, which was seven cents of silver for each contract.

Pawnshops are even worse than black market pawnshops, as they charge interest based on the time of day.

Over time, it might even exceed half.

Old Pi asked in bewilderment:

"So what are you planning to do?"

Lu Chengdao:

"Six thousand taels of silver is enough; it's time to proceed with the second step of the plan."
