The door of the Treasure Pavilion closed. It took about half an hour before it opened again.
Tang Xiaotang came out with five boxes, handing them over to the woman from the Lao Zhao family and the other four buyers.
"Tsk, this bottle of Purple Gold Flower Water smells exactly the same as the one I smelled at the Star Plucking Sect."
"Xiao Gouzi, you have the best nose. So it must be genuine, right?"
"But even reselling it is too expensive. It only sells for five taels of purple gold on the black market, but here it costs ten taels... Oh, today it's eight taels."
"Black market? Do you even have the guts to go there?" Someone immediately mocked him.
After all, the Treasure Pavilion does legitimate business, but every seller in the black market can turn into a bandit!
The news that the Tang Family Fort was reselling items at the Treasure Pavilion spread like wildfire.
As more and more genuine items were confirmed, more and more people came seeking reselling services. After all, those who need the elixirs, martial techniques, equipment, and various rare items from the Treasure Pavilion's inner chamber are not few.
A long queue gradually formed at the entrance.
There were even several minor conflicts over queue-jumping!
As the business became more and more prosperous, Ban Yilou's expression became increasingly complicated...
The money was rolling in.
But how would he explain the restocking to the City of Purple Gold?
Moreover, what Tang Zheng was doing as a reseller was just breaking the high-and-mighty mindset of the Purple Gold Token, with no operational difficulty at all!
So, it wouldn't be long before others started to imitate him!
By then, the Purple Gold Token, a symbol of noble status, would become a tool for making huge profits!
Tang Zheng was single-handedly harming the entire City of Purple Gold.
Ban Yilou felt a headache just thinking about it.
Outside the Treasure Pavilion, the Tang Family Fort's disciples were busy as bees, collecting money, reselling, and taking commissions, almost to the point of collapse.
Many people who risked their lives to earn a year's hard-earned money found that they hadn't earned as much as they did in one day today!
The biggest deal Tang Zixie took was a set of martial techniques priced at one hundred taels of purple gold, which originally cost only forty taels. So, he earned a commission of twelve Purple Gold Coins in one deal!
Twelve Purple Gold Coins!
That's one thousand two hundred taels of silver!
"I finally understand why our teacher's star constellation is Purple Gold."
"Right, this... this is a living god of wealth!"
Although the rule in Wulong Town is to ask as little as possible, a teacher who can produce a Purple Gold Token definitely wouldn't lack money. They knew they could take the money without asking!
There was no need for formalities between them and Tang Zheng.
If Tang Zheng told them to take it, they took it. If he told them how much to take, they took that much.
After all, listening to the teacher is never wrong.
"Wait, Brother Zixie." A disciple of the Tang Family Fort suddenly pointed to the distance.
"..." Tang Zixie's movements stopped.
And Tang Xiaotang, A Zhi, and the others also stopped to look at a group of people walking towards them.
Many buyers pointed and said, "Hey? Isn't that Lao Zhao?"
"Lao Zhao's injuries are healed? No, his steps are a bit weak, or... the Yansui Pill didn't work... he's dying?"
"They're coming, all of them."
All the disciples of the Tang Family Fort gathered together.
A burly man, leading a group of brothers, quickly arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.
The man had thick eyebrows and a broad face, standing still, looking at the Tang Family Fort's carriage and the Treasure Pavilion's sign without a word.
His expression was very serious, even more so with a hint of killing intent.
Although the disciples of the Tang Family Fort knew that no one would dare to cause trouble at the Treasure Pavilion, they had mostly grown up in a world of violence. Seeing this posture, their first reaction was to put their hands on their weapons...
The surroundings were silent.
The buyers and onlookers all looked as if they were waiting for a show.
If Lao Zhao and the Tang Family Fort had a conflict on the Hidden Blue Manor's territory, especially at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, it would be a real spectacle, enough to be talked about for three or four days after tea and dinner.
Tang Xiaotang had never dealt with such a situation before and was a bit at a loss. She almost sounded like a virtuous woman, asking, "Excuse me... do you need anything else?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a thud.
The man with a cold expression lifted his robe and knelt down, touching his head to the ground and making three loud, bloody bows.
Then, he stood up without a word, turned around, and left with his brothers.
From start to finish, the man didn't say a word, but those three bows seemed to have struck deep into the hearts of the Tang Family Fort's disciples.
In Wulong Town, they had only seen deceit and betrayal, with no basic trust between people. They were used to seeing tragedy, hatred, and slaughter, but they had never seen...
Gratitude?
Those three bows just now should be called "gratitude," right?
Tang Xiaotang looked at Tang Zixie in confusion.
But Tang Zixie returned her a similarly confused look.
"Whatever," A Zhi turned her head and huffed, "This social practice is barely interesting."
"Ho ho ho ho ho." Grandpa Ghost let out a long laugh.
...
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, Tang Zheng tried to stuff the Purple Gold Coins from the counter into his belt, but the Purple Gold Coins were not pure gold, and his old partner didn't recognize this impure stuff, so he couldn't stuff them in.
Tang Zheng could only say, "I'm really cheap, really!"
As long as he could spend all the money in his Purple Gold Belt without causing inflation in his lifetime, it would be a great achievement!
But what was he doing?
Wasting time making money!
"More than a month has passed since I crossed over, but why can't I get rid of the bad habits of a gold farmer?" Tang Zheng threw the Purple Gold Coins that wouldn't fit into his belt into a large shopping bag.
Ban Yilou had just come in from outside and told Tang Zheng about the Lao Zhao family man.
After finishing, he clicked his tongue twice, "That man seems tough. After those three bows, the number of people queuing up increased by three or four times."
Tang Zheng, without lifting his head, threw money into the shopping bag, "Do you know what this is called?"
Ban Yilou's face darkened, muttering, "What?"
"This is called the advertising effect." As Tang Zheng spoke, the shopping bag's array pattern flashed, and all the Purple Gold Coins inside fell out.
It broke again.
Ban Yilou's face twitched—how could anyone use a storage bag like this? The array pattern of a storage bag is so shallow, how could it withstand the impact of so much Purple Gold Power?
Tang Zheng was used to the quality of storage bags and continued to use another one without changing his expression.
Actually, the Starlight Continent did have spatial items, but each one needed to be custom-made, similar to bound equipment in his previous life's games. Not only was the production process complicated, but the storage and retrieval were also troublesome.
Although storage bags were not the best, they were the most convenient and hassle-free for Tang Zheng.
"There's no bank card here, it's really a pain. Oh, not even a wallet!" Tang Zheng complained.
Fortunately, his self-regulation ability was quite good.
Thinking about how even the most prestigious wallets in his previous life couldn't hold more than a few hundred thousand in cash, he felt balanced.
After tidying up the Purple Gold Coins on the counter, the two casting notes finally floated up to catch a breath.
Tang Zheng put the money bag aside, patting it and asked, "Old Ban, do you think I'm qualified to teach you business now?"
Ban Yilou was almost furious.
To admit this as business? What kind of business is this? It's completely nonsense!
But to say it's not business? What about the Purple Gold Coins covering the counter?
"Always talking about money, are you vulgar?" Ban Yilou avoided looking at Tang Zheng, blushing and changing the topic, "Let's talk about casting!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha..." Tang Zheng laughed wildly without giving him any face.
"Read the book!" Ban Yilou shouted.
"Okay, okay, the main problem now is that my strength is not enough, and casting is twice as hard. Is there any immortal pill that can directly upgrade from one star to nine stars? Any price is fine!"
"You're dreaming!" Ban Yilou gave him a big eye roll.
Tang Zheng, of course, didn't expect such a thing to exist; he was just joking.
Looking at the pile of materials in front of him, he had a sudden idea, "Then, how about this, we don't cast the dagger for the bet with Bai Lian Workshop for now..."
Ban Yilou exclaimed, "Then what do we cast?"
"Let's cast something to assist in cultivating star power? Anyway, I have plenty of purple gold, of any purity!"
Tian Meng had said that purple gold is a precious metal that fell from the stars, and its main use is to communicate with star power and assist in cultivation.
So, since his strength is not enough, using purple gold to cast items to assist in cultivation should be the best way...
But Ban Yilou's eyes blinked rapidly, "Your meaning is... purple gold casting?"
Tang Zheng nodded, "That's about it. Is there any problem?"
Ban Yilou slammed the table and shouted, "Playing around? Do you know what purple gold casting is? Purple gold casting is not something you can complete with the materials you have. It involves the ratio of purple gold, array formation, star fire control, and a bunch of other knowledge. Only the best casters can complete purple gold casting! You, now, focus on the basics! Don't try to run before you can walk!"
"Cough," Tang Zheng raised his hand to correct, "I think, isn't it more appropriate to say 'Don't try to run before you can walk'?"
"Is that the point?!" Ban Yilou increased his volume and shouted.
"The point is, you have to tell me how to speed up my cultivation, right?" Tang Zheng said.
