The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 396: What is the purpose of asking for the throne?

Forty billion taels... Is this what you call limited financial resources?

Everyone in the Xiao family was petrified. They were really surprised. How come such a small border country could be so rich?

Even for a big family like the Lan family, it would be difficult to spend 40 billion taels of silver at once!

Although the Xiao family is definitely a top force in Tingxiang Country, in the Beiling Realm, it is just a small or medium-sized family. They can barely take care of themselves, so how can they have the time to observe the affairs of the border countries?

There is no way of knowing whether Tingxiang won the championship.

After Du Shu integrated the elixir market of Tingxiang Country, he directly commanded the alchemists to break into the elixir markets of several other countries. He quickly took over a large market share with an unstoppable momentum and accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

When Du Shu came, he brought all his money with him, which resulted in a total of 40 billion taels of silver.

"Don't worry, Mr. Du. I will give you the list of payments tomorrow morning." Xiao Buyu said calmly.

"In this case, I'm sorry to trouble Patriarch Xiao. Please continue the meeting. I will take my leave first.

By the way, medicinal materials are in urgent need. If you can’t gather them all at once, you can make up for it later. Prepare what you have first.” Du Shu smiled and said goodbye to everyone.

"Okay, okay..." Xiao Buyu nodded mechanically as if he was in a dream. After Du Shu disappeared, he sat down on the chair.

"Oh, we actually forgot to see Mr. Du off. You guys shouldn't even be watching over them!" Xiao Buyu was about to get angry, but he noticed that everyone's expressions were also dazed. He couldn't help but sigh and stopped blaming them.

What happened today was still too shocking for everyone.

dong dong dong-

Xiao Buyu knocked on the table to draw everyone's attention back.

"Master, forty billion taels of silver! Forty billion taels!" Second Elder Xiao roared excitedly.

Elder Xiao took a deep breath and said teasingly, "Some people looked down on me before."

"Brother, you are pretending to be a chicken. Aren't you excited? Aren't you excited? Forty billion taels of silver, my Xiao family can be a little stronger!" The second elder Xiao didn't care and just roared excitedly.

Everyone expressed their understanding for Elder Xiao Er's condition, because they also wanted to roar a few times!

"Now, do you think it is necessary to expand our procurement channels?" Xiao Buyu asked with a smile.

At this time, who would deny it? Everyone nodded excitedly.

"Then what are you still standing there for? List out all the herbs that Mr. Du wants, and calculate the specific amount based on our most fair price. Then check our respective inventories, and quickly equip those that are needed and import those that are in short supply. We should try to get all the herbs within two days." Xiao Buyu gave orders quickly.

"No meeting?" Xiao Chuang asked in a daze.

"Start a bullshit game. Prepare all the herbs first." Xiao Buyu scolded and immediately asked everyone to get to work.

Although the task was busy, everyone did not feel tired. After receiving the order, they took action one after another, and the entire Xiao family became busy.

The Fire Phoenix, who had just finished training, was walking in the backyard of the Xiao family when he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the Xiao family was abnormal.

Just then, seeing Xiao Buyu walking in a hurry without even looking at her, Huo Fenghuang was puzzled and grabbed the head of the Xiao family.

Just as he was about to scold him, he caught a glimpse of the fiery red figure. Xiao Buyu was startled and thought to himself that it was a close call, he almost offended this god.

Fire Phoenix was even more confused. Judging from the change in Xiao Buyu's expression in an instant, Xiao Buyu was thinking about something and didn't see her.

Normally, Xiao Buyu was very polite to him, even a little fawning. What big thing had happened now that made Xiao Buyu so flustered?

"Master Xiao, we, the Lan family, are extremely grateful for your care these days. Why are you suddenly acting strange today? Is there any disturbance? Please tell me about it, and I may be able to help you in some small way."

Xiao Buyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard Huo Fenghuang's question. Lan Fenghuang said that the Lan family was extremely grateful, not that she was extremely grateful. This meant that if the Xiao family had difficulties, the Lan family would help as appropriate.

Some good relations have been established between the two families.

Anyway, there was nothing worth hiding, so Xiao Buyu smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Lan for your kindness. I suddenly received an order, so everyone should get ready."

"Order?" Fire Phoenix was a little surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Tang and his team placed the order."

"Tang Yan? How many orders can they place? Is it necessary to go to so much trouble?" There was a flash of contempt in the Fire Phoenix's eyes.

Xiao Buyu whispered, "We have to be in a hurry to get an order worth 40 billion taels of silver. I don't treat Miss Lan as an outsider. Miss Lan must keep it a secret for my Xiao family!"

"Okay, okay, it's just four hundred... huh?" Fire Phoenix suddenly paused, as if someone had strangled her neck, and she couldn't say any more.

"Master Xiao, how much did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly."

"Miss Lan, you heard it right, it's 40 billion taels!" Xiao Buyu explained with a wry smile.

"Fuck!" Even though Fire Phoenix usually holds herself in high regard, she couldn't resist the urge to swear at this moment.

For a moment, she became more and more suspicious of the identities of Du Shu and his group: "Are you sure they are from Tingxiang Country, and not from somewhere else?"

As for this question, the head of the Xiao family also found it difficult to verify and shook his head to indicate that he did not know.

Fire Phoenix was a little dazed. After bidding farewell to the Xiao family master, she returned to the room. After a while, she blew a whistle, and then a white kite the length of a finger fell into her hand. She whispered a few words in the ear of the white kite, and then the white kite flew up and rushed towards the north as fast as a meteor.

……

Wanye Street.

As everyone was eagerly waiting, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, the window curtains of Wendingdanpu were finally opened.

Although he knew that it would attract many people, Tang Yan only left one door in his previous design. Both sides of the door were made of "Chao Jian crystal" similar to "floor-to-ceiling windows". It was strong and wear-resistant, and was a top-grade decoration material.

The crystal windows are crystal clear, allowing you to see everything inside the store.

When the curtain was lifted, everyone had only one feeling: grand!

It’s so grand!

Above the high roof, there are various crystal chandeliers, which look magnificent yet not depressing.

The north side of the wall is full of counters, which are covered with goods. The rest of the place is empty! Various decorations are interspersed and embellished, which makes people's eyes bright.

When all the curtains were drawn, the door slowly opened.

Then, Tang Yan walked out with everyone who wanted to compete for the throne.

"Look, that's the boy who bought the shop that day!"

"This young man's behavior is a bit weird. He just wrote 'Wending' on it, but didn't say what it was selling."

"Could it be a store selling bronze tripods?" someone guessed curiously after looking at the name of the store.

"How many people buy copper tripods nowadays? It's more like selling alchemy tripods and furnaces." Finally, someone guessed that something was related to elixirs.

Looking at the discussion among the people, Tang Yan smiled and introduced the shop aloud.
