Chapter 15: The Treasure Tower Concept

Tuo Ba Ye felt Yu Wenjie Wu's gaze but ignored it and left with Xia Yuxuan.

This time, although the purchase of female slaves did not go very smoothly, he won over 400,000 gold coins, which was a huge gain.

"Xiao Ye, is there anything you want?" Xia Yuxuan asked.

Tuo Ba Ye shook his head: "No!"

He was still too young; even if he had custom-made weapons and equipment, they would be useless in a few years.

Otherwise, he would have already gone to have some equipment made.

Tuo Ba Wei and the others also received the news that Tuo Ba Ye's subordinates had won the competition, and Xia Yuxuan had placed a heavy bet, winning over 400,000 gold coins.

"Xiao Ye, you did a great job, winning 400,000 gold coins at once. This is crucial for our Tuo Ba family," Tuo Ba Wei said happily.

Tuo Ba Ye smiled: "Second Grandpa, you're not here to ask for the gold coins, are you?"

"Haha... Of course not. Xiao Ye, tell me the truth, why did the Nine Star Martial Artist you bought a few months ago suddenly become so powerful? He even defeated a Two Star Innate Martial God with an absolute advantage. There must be a secret, right?" Tuo Ba Wei was extremely curious.

Tuo Ba Ye smiled: "Second Grandpa, to be honest, I have a master who is likely a cultivation expert. He gave me a treasure that can greatly enhance strength. However, this treasure can only be used once and is now broken."

"You have a master, is that true?" Tuo Ba Wei was shocked.

"Of course. I only told my parents about this before, and I ask you to keep it a secret, Second Grandpa," Tuo Ba Ye said.

Tuo Ba Wei quickly replied: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. But can your master teach us some martial arts to help our Tuo Ba family grow stronger?"

"Second Grandpa, rest assured. I have already obtained some martial arts, all of which are close to top-tier techniques. I'll give them to you, but these martial arts cannot be widely taught, and absolutely cannot be known by other families. Otherwise, our Tuo Ba family will have big trouble. We can only reveal these martial arts when we are strong enough," Tuo Ba Ye had indeed prepared, but he didn't dare to bring out the best martial arts to avoid causing trouble for the Tuo Ba family.

Tuo Ba Wei was extremely happy: "Xiao Ye, you've thought it through. I will only teach these martial arts to the core experts of our family."

He took the manuals and left with a smile.

Tuo Ba Ye was also very happy. A strong family would benefit him as well.

The Divine Martial Continent was a declining third-grade cultivation world, and resources were definitely scarce. He needed to gather a large amount of cultivation resources.

With a powerful family, he could establish a powerful merchant group to gather cultivation resources for him.

He knew that once he became a cultivator, he would need ten times, even a hundred times more resources than other cultivators. Without sufficient resources, it would be difficult for him to make progress. The Divine Root and Divine Punishment Jade Talisman required a large amount of heaven and earth essence, which he could not absorb on his own, as that would be too slow.

Strengthening the Tuo Ba family was the fastest way. If he had to build his own forces, it would take at least another twenty years.

Tuo Ba Wei and the others had stopped causing trouble, so he needed to give them some benefits to stabilize the situation.

Taking out some martial arts, which were not very powerful, but were relatively high-level for the Tuo Ba family, could at least help the core experts of the Tuo Ba family increase their strength by one star.

After Tuo Ba Wei left, Xia Yuxuan approached Tuo Ba Ye again: "Xiao Ye, what are you going to do with all these gold coins? You can't just keep them in your hands, right?"

"Mother, you must have some ideas, right?" Tuo Ba Ye smiled.

"I plan to establish a merchant group. Since I have nothing to do, I can use these gold coins to make more gold coins," Xia Yuxuan said.

Tuo Ba Ye said: "Mother, if you're willing to go into business, there's no problem. Let's build a Treasure Tower, a place to trade all kinds of treasures."

"What kind of treasures will be traded?" Xia Yuxuan asked.

"Weapons, equipment, various materials, medicinal herbs, pills, martial arts manuals, and so on. If there are higher-level treasures, we can put them up for public bidding. The business will definitely be booming," Tuo Ba Ye said.

From his understanding of the Warring States, the Warring States were relatively remote, bordering the Southern Wilderness, so business was not very good. The Qian family was the best at this, but they only had shops in various parts of the country and had not expanded beyond the Warring States, nor had they established auction houses.

In his previous life, in the Galactic World, a sixth-grade cultivation world, various treasure trading places were everywhere.

He had visited many treasure trading places to cultivate, so he was very familiar with them.

In the Galactic World, auction houses were always the most popular, and street trading was also very prosperous.

In fact, Tuo Ba Ye had also considered this issue. He planned to combine auction houses, treasure trading streets, and treasure trading shops into one, and name it 'Treasure Tower.'

However, building the Treasure Tower would require a large amount of gold coins.

Xia Yuxuan only had over 600,000 gold coins, which was far from enough.

"Xiao Ye, is this amount of gold coins enough to trade these treasures?" Xia Yuxuan, who managed the household, was very sensitive to gold coins.

"Yes, without a million gold coins, it would be difficult to start," Tuo Ba Ye said: "Mother, does our Tuo Ba family have a large venue? If we have a venue, we can start slowly."

Xia Yuxuan thought for a moment: "We do. We have a huge estate in the capital, which your grandfather received as a reward from the emperor for his military achievements. However, your grandfather disliked luxury and refused to move into the estate. For a long time, it has only been cleaned by servants."

"Mother, let's go see the estate right away," Tuo Ba Ye said excitedly.

If there was a large estate with a good location, 600,000 gold coins would be enough for the initial investment to establish the Treasure Tower.

However, identifying the quality of treasures was not an easy task.

It would be difficult to find such talent throughout the Warring States.

Of course, Tuo Ba Ye had cultivated divine consciousness and was the best at identifying treasures. If necessary, he would have to operate behind the scenes.

He could only operate behind the scenes because he was too young and should be low-key.

Xia Yuxuan was also very excited and set off with Tuo Ba Ye.

They arrived quickly. The estate was not far from the Grand General's residence and was in the central area of the capital, a prime location.

The huge estate occupied a large area of land, surrounded by ten-meter-high walls.

At the entrance of the estate, two huge stone lions stood majestically, and the red doors were heavy and elegant.

Such a large estate was only guarded by cleaning servants, lacking vitality.

Tuo Ba Ye was very satisfied when he saw the estate.

Entering through the main gate, there were houses on both sides, and a six-meter-wide stone road led to the inner courtyard, which was about 900 meters away.

The inner courtyard had many rooms, some of which could be used for trading various treasures, and the stone road could serve as a trading street. The only thing missing was a large courtyard for the auction house.

"Mother, is there a large courtyard in the estate?" Tuo Ba Ye asked.

The estate was too large, and it was impossible for Tuo Ba Ye to see everything in a short time. It was simpler to ask directly.

"Yes, there is a large courtyard at the back, used for planting flowers and trees. It also has artificial hills and rivers, and is very beautiful," Xia Yuxuan said, looking forward to it.

"Oh! Let's go see it quickly," Tuo Ba Ye said in surprise.

He quickly walked to the back courtyard, and Xia Yuxuan hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the back courtyard, it was indeed beautiful, with blooming flowers, artificial hills, and rivers, and the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers. It was very serene, almost like a fairyland. There was also a dedicated training ground, a large training ground, to the right of the inner courtyard.

This place was indeed suitable for holding an auction, but Tuo Ba Ye was reluctant to renovate it.

"Mother, is there a side courtyard in such a large estate?"

"Of course, there are courtyards on both sides, used for guests and retainers," Xia Yuxuan said: "Xiao Ye, what are you planning to do?"

"I'll go take a look first," Tuo Ba Ye said, leaving quickly.

The courtyards on both sides were large, but most of the areas had houses.

After considering, Tuo Ba Ye decided to renovate one of the courtyards into an auction venue, leaving the other areas unchanged.

The stone road would serve as a trading street, where anyone could enter for free to set up a stall for treasure trading. However, the Treasure Tower would have the right of first refusal at the same price.

The houses on both sides could be used for trading more common treasures, and the collection of treasures would also take place in these houses. A few rooms in the inner courtyard would be used for trading valuable treasures, which Tuo Ba Ye would personally oversee.

A large auction house would be built on the right side, and the left courtyard would be for subordinates and servants.

The back courtyard was too beautiful and could be used for family members to enjoy.

In Tuo Ba Ye's mind, a bustling image of the Treasure Tower had already formed.

"Xiao Ye, what are you thinking about?" Xia Yuxuan asked.

"Mother, let's go back and discuss with Second Grandpa and the others. We need to pretend to be driven out," Tuo Ba Ye smiled mysteriously, not saying more.

"Xiao Ye, wait, you haven't told me what you're planning to do," Xia Yuxuan said urgently.

"I'll tell you when we get home," Tuo Ba Ye was too lazy to repeat himself.

He already had a good plan in his mind and believed it could be realized gradually.

Soon, Tuo Ba Ye and Xia Yuxuan returned to the Grand General's residence and contacted Tuo Ba Wei and the others, arranging a meeting that evening.

In the evening, Tuo Ba Wei, Tuo Ba Zhan, and Tuo Ba Zhong arrived, along with Xia Yuxuan and Tuo Ba Ye, making a total of five people to discuss a major matter.

"Xiao Ye, why did you call us all here?" Tuo Ba Wei asked.

He had just received some exquisite martial arts from Tuo Ba Ye and was eager to study them.

Tuo Ba Ye said: "My mother plans to go into business and wants to use the idle large estate, so I'm discussing it with Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa."

"We are all family, and the large estate has always been managed by you. I have no objections to you using it for business," Tuo Ba Wei said.

Tuo Ba Zhong said: "I have no objections either. It would be a waste not to use such a large estate."

"Thank you, Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa. We also need your help to put on a good show. We need to make the other major families relax their guard and give us a few years to develop slowly," Tuo Ba Ye smiled playfully.
