Chapter 102: Chapter 83 Baiyan Trading Company_3
Manager: “The inner one is the best, the price is the highest, 1200 Origin Currency per person. This horse, will it be evaluated together with you or separately? If it’s also an inner one, that would be 4800, totaling 6000 Origin Currency.”
After glancing at Dao Li, Zhang Xuan, although he felt a pinch, ultimately nodded his head: “Together then!”
After paying, the manager handed him two tokens, “These are the entry tokens! Go over there and queue up in a while, someone will take you inside.”
“Alright!”
Zhang Xuan took the tokens and led Dao Li through the crowd.
“Butler Qin, allowing the horse to enter for the evaluation is unprecedented. If you let it in just like that, won’t you be punished?”
At that moment, a waiter approached, concern evident in his eyes.
The Source Pool evaluation happens annually, and there are never enough slots for people, let alone for an animal… and such a large one at that.
“Punished? I’m generating profit for the clan, why would they punish me?”
Butler Qin scoffed, looking back as if staring at a fool, “You don’t actually think a horse can absorb Heavenly Mandate Vitality, do you?”
“Right!”
The waiter had an epiphany, “A horse is just a common animal, not a Primordial Beast. It simply cannot practice Yuan Power. Not only did you allow it in, but you also charged four times the fee, which means that not a single fragment of the heavens is consumed, pure profit…”
“Glad you understand!”
Butler Qin nodded, “These wastrels, bringing a horse here, are just trying to show off. Since that’s the case, I might as well satisfy him.”
Any person with aspirations, at this age, would certainly have already become an Origin warrior. Why would he need to come to a Merchants’ evaluation?
“Butler Qin is wise!”
The waiter nodded, and looking back at Zhang Xuan and Dao Li, suddenly remembered something, “Hold on, why does this horse look so familiar?”
“Now that you mention it, I think I’ve seen it somewhere too…”
With that reminder, Butler Qin paused, and after a moment of contemplation, had a realization, “It seems like it’s the miss’s Dao Li!”
“Right, it is the one. How did it end up in this guy’s hands? And he even brought it here for a Source Pool evaluation?”
Having recognized the horse, both of them were a bit stunned.
“Isn’t the elder coming here in a while?”
After a moment of silence, remembering something, Butler Qin turned his head and asked.
“It’s said that today in the afternoon he will personally oversee the evaluation…” the waiter nodded.
“Good, whether it’s the miss’s Dao Li or not, we’ll know with one look! We subordinates only need to report the news.”
Butler Qin smiled.
“Yes!” The waiter said no more.
Soon after, more people came to register, and after a short hour, they indeed saw Liu Tianzheng, Patriarch Liu, stride in.
Elder Liu Tianming, who was in charge of the Baiyan Merchants, hurriedly greeted him. Liu Tianzheng handed over the newly purchased Destiny Plate, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
With so many registering, if there were not enough Heavenly Mandate Vitality, the reputation the Liu Clan had accumulated over the years, might very well be ruined.
Seeing that the elder was momentarily unoccupied, Butler Qin quickly approached, “Patriarch!”
“You’re Qin Lu, right? Have you got something for me?” Liu Tianzheng recognized him.
“Thank you, Patriarch, for remembering my name…”
Qin Lu’s eyes lit up as he quickly bowed, “That’s right, a moment ago, someone came with a horse for the Source Pool evaluation, and that horse, it looks like the miss’s Dao Li.”
Liu Tianzheng was startled, “Where’s the person?”
Qin Lu pointed, “Right there, the one closest to the center of the arena…”
Liu Tianzheng looked up and indeed saw Zhang laoshi leading a tall, imposing horse, standing quietly in the middle of the crowd, waiting for the Source Pool evaluation to begin.
“What’s he doing here?”
Liu Tianzheng was full of confusion.
Although he did not know the exact strength of this Zhang laoshi, he knew he must have surpassed the Accumulative Realm; otherwise, he wouldn’t be teaching his daughter.
Such strength also indicated that the Source Pool must have been stabilized long ago, and coming here for the Source Pool evaluation now seemed rather odd.
And most importantly, bringing a horse for the evaluation…
After the perplexity, Liu Tianzheng’s expression darkened, “The spots for the Source Pool evaluation are already few, to let him bring a horse in, taking up several people’s spots, is simply ludicrous!”
Qin Lu hurriedly clasped his fists, “To report back to the clan head, I’ve taken this matter into account. For this horse, we collected the fee for four people!”
“The fee for four people? 4800 Origin Currency?”
Liu Tianzheng was stunned, then burst into laughter, “Well done, you have quite the discernment ability…”
A horse, for sure, cannot absorb Heavenly Mandate Vitality, earning so much money instantly, and it’s from that guy who pressured my daughter to sell Dao Li. The more he thought about it, the more he felt Qin Lu was very capable.
It seemed that he would have to look for an opportunity to promote him.
“Thank you for the praise, Patriarch…”
Qin Lu clasped his fists excitedly.
Hum!
Just at that moment, a faint humming sound rang out from afar. The Destiny Plate that had just been activated by School Head Lu began to scatter down beams of Heavenly Mandate Vitality.
Liu Tianzheng stopped speaking and looked towards the distant platform. At this time, everyone had sat down cross-legged, eyes tightly closed.
Even the Dao Li had closed its large eyes, its huge frame looking very conspicuous amidst the seated crowd.
“Spending 4800 Origin Currency to bring a horse here for the Source Pool evaluation, if you really think Zhou Qun and the others hold you in high regard, then you must believe you are omnipotent… If this horse can practice, I’ll bash my head in here…”
With a snort, Liu Tianzheng was about to turn away to find a place to rest, when he suddenly saw something that made him freeze on the spot.
“What? This, this… it’s impossible!”
