Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty One – The World Upended

Scenes of laughter and chatting was seen everywhere on Turtle Island.

When the people spoke about what they did this time, all of them were excited, and they were especially satisfied when they thought about the fearful and timid gazes of those business people.

“Ha, you guys don’t know. When those people look at me, it was like they are looking at an ogre!” Lei Peng was proud as he motioned with both hands.

“You look like a ogre.” Nian Lu added in a small voice.

Everyone burst out in laughter, including Lei Peng himself.

In the big hall, Zuo Mo and the others were gathered together with bright eyes.

Waiting for Bao Yi to finish calculating, Zuo Mo couldn’t resist asking, “How much did we sell?”

The smile on Bao Yi’s face was like a chrysanthemum flower blooming, but no one felt it wretched right now instead they looked at it with anticipation. Bao Yi’s voice trembled slightly, “Six … … six … …”

“Sixty pieces of fifth-grade jingshi?” Zuo Mo’s grin almost reached his ears.

Sixty pieces of fifth-grade jingshi, that really was a great sum of jingshi. That amount surpassed the total amount of jingshi Zuo Mo had at before! In just a few days, the amount in his pocket had doubled, this was definitely a great harvest!

Everyone had joyful smiles. Sixty pieces of fifth-grade jingshi, that was enough to buy a fifth-grade talisman!

Everyone might have a golden crystal sword each but they didn’t have much jingshi. Especially for a jindan like Xie Shan whose other talismans were lacking except for his fifth-grade golden crystal sword. The Blue Soul Cold Light Armor and the rest were slightly on the low end for a jindan, like Xie Shan.

Bao Yi’s face was flushed red. He had touse all his strength to make his voice steady, “It … … is six hundred pieces of fifth-grade jingshi!”

All of the laughter instantly disappeared.

Zuo Mo’ s eyes were round. “Six hundred pieces of fifth-grade jingshi?”

An entire set of Turtle Island jade scrolls was nine hundred and ninety eight third-grade jingshi or about two pieces of fourth-grade jingshi. Six hundred pieces of fifth-grade jingshi was six hundred thousand pieces of fourth-grade jingshi. In this short time period, they had sold three hundred thousand sets of Turtle Island jade scrolls!

Everyone was shocked speechless by this enormous number!

Bao Yi resumed his normal composure at this time. “In this rush, there have been stores from nearby cities that have come to use to purchase the jade scrolls. Our jade scrolls have sold like crazy in this area! Bright Light City, Sea Light City, Cloud Light City, their shops are not influenced by the people from Xu Ling City. They have bough huge numbers. We have spent great effort, all of Vermillion Bird Camp putting down their work to forge jade scrolls in order to fulfilled their demands.

In the silence, Bao Yi’s voice was the only one.

“However, our revenue is slowly decreasing. The little jinzhi we put on our jade scrolls have been deconstructed and knockoffs have appeared on the market. This has greatly affected our revenue.” Bao Yi was full of regret.

But everyone was still immersed in the great shock of six hundred pieces of fifth-grade jingshi. No one spoke.

Six hundred pieces of fifth-grade jingshi!

Zuo Mo felt blank.

Selling jade scrolls was just something he did to oppose the Tian Family and just to annoy them. Getting Vermillion Bird Camp to sell jade scrolls was because there were no shops that were willing to sell his jade scrolls. He had used this group of extremely bored people as free labor.

What a world this was!

One could make six hundred jingshi like this?

When was jingshi so easy to make?

This was a whole six hundred pieces of fifth-grade jingshi!

Zuo Mo felt his world was upended!

Yet what he had not expected was that it wasn’t just this matter that upended the world for him!

Zuo Mo looked curiously at the completely transformed ling fields. Beside him, the ling plant farmers of the island were also looking around curiously. The masters Ji Wei and Sun Bao were explaining the changes in detail.

“These ling fields have been completely modified to become formation ling fields. According to the attributes of the ling plants, we have designed new formations. Each section of ling fields has a cloud rain formation, and the core of the formation is a piece of fourth-grade water soul crystal. It can release the Little Art of Cloud and Rain to the equivalent of the fifth level. If one wants to release [Little Art of Cloud and Rain] to a higher level, it requires a higher grade water soul crystal.”
