X-Dragon Era

Of course, this was only the second reason. The third reason was that Yi Luo Xiang\'s eighth birthday was also only a few months away. After obtaining the Azure Sea, he must set off immediately, only by doing so, he could use the Ninth Grade Purple Soul Dragon Creation Stone as a birthday gift for Yi Luo Xiang before her eighth birthday.

After his rebirth, too many opportunities were waiting for Xin Yun. With memories from his previous life, Xin Yun had too many things to do, therefore... he must fight for every minute, every second. Although it was not possible to grasp all opportunities, Xin Yun did not possess the Tree of Clones after all, he nevertheless had to strive to hold all relatively important opportunities in his hands.

After the rest was over, the three of them arrived at the warehouse again. Looking at the stacked sacks, A-Da said excitedly, "I just inquired about it, hehe... here, dried pine mushrooms can actually sell for eight copper per tael, haha... we\'re gonna make a fortune this time!"

There were a total of 3000 taels of dried pine mushrooms, which at the price of eight copper per tael, amounted to 24,000 copper, equivalent to two gold and four silver coins.

Still excited, A-Da continued, "Where are we going next? What goods are we going to transport? Hehe... this time let\'s just trade the dried pine mushrooms directly, what do you think?"

"Sweat..." Hearing A-Da\'s words, Xin Yun couldn\'t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Xin Yun looked helplessly at A-Da and shook his head, "Please, although Plain City is just a small city, it\'s still a city; you might barter in villages and towns, but here, you can only sell for money!"

Speaking of this, Xin Yun smiled slightly and then continued, "Moreover, dried pine mushrooms are not corn, let alone bartering, even if it was possible it would not be worthwhile. Remember... if you want to trade and make money, you need to think more. You can\'t just copy someone else\'s methods and succeed."

"Then... what do you mean?" Upon hearing Xin Yun\'s words, A-Da was utterly confused, it seemed that changing location and environment meant that the old tricks wouldn\'t work!

Xin Yun didn\'t bother to explain much and said, "Alright, don\'t ask too much, just do as I tell you, and now... go to the tailor shop immediately and order 300 exquisite sheepskin bags for me, and make sure they are finely crafted, also have this pattern printed on the surface." While speaking, Xin Yun took out a piece of paper bearing an elegant pattern from his bosom and handed it to A-Da.

Looking at the pattern in his hands, A-Da opened his mouth to speak but then he remembered Xin Yun told him not to ask too much and to just do as he was told. The implication was clear, Xin Yun didn\'t have the time to explain; once everything was done, A-Da\'s confusion would naturally be resolved.

A-Da had already grown to trust Xin Yun. The last deal with the corn was moderate, but this time, in just one week, he had made a lot of profit. Xin Yun had delivered on his promise of ten times the profit, and this was just the beginning.

At that time... the corn had only cost 3000 copper to purchase, but after Xin Yun\'s schemes, it had now reached a value of two gold and four silver coins. In just two weeks, the pure profit had reached two gold coins, an amount that would normally take a year to earn.

Watching A-Da turn and leave, Xin Yun wasn\'t idle either. With Yi Luo Xiang by his side and clutching the bronze one-star level Dragon Crystal purchased in Giantwood Village, he walked toward the direction of the marketplace.

Dragon Crystals, which could be directly absorbed to enhance a dragon\'s strength, were always a favorite among the wealthy, for they offered a shortcut to power without the need for hard work!

Dragon Crystals could be fully absorbed, but energy not belonging to oneself could not be utilized; it had to be refined first to become one\'s own strength. During the refinement process, a great deal of energy would be lost. In essence, it was an activity that burned through money, something ordinary people simply could not afford.

Of course, not all dragons produced Dragon Crystals; ordinary dragons didn\'t. Only the leader of each Dragon Group would condense a Dragon Crystal in their brain, hence Dragon Crystals were always in short supply.

For a Giantwood Town of over two thousand households that lived by hunting, to have acquired only 50 Dragon Crystals was proof enough of their rarity. It was precisely because of this scarcity that small towns generally went unnoticed by traders: after wasting so much time, they would only collect a few dozen bronze one-star Dragon Crystals, hardly covering the cost of travel.

However, for Xin Yun, that was different; he only needed start-up capital at the moment, not a lot of money. Although the number of 50 Dragon Crystals seemed small, it was exactly the limit Xin Yun could afford at the time.

Keep in mind that even though there were only 50 Crystals, these were accumulated by Giantwood Town over the last six months and were enough to help Xin Yun secure a considerable sum of money.

Originally, Xin Yun hadn\'t expected to receive so many, but clearly, no trading caravan had reached this place in the last six months, so it was his luck to make this small fortune now.

Arriving at the market with the Dragon Crystals, Xin Yun did not sell them. Instead, he exchanged them at a two-for-one ratio with everyone in the market selling Dragon Crystals of the same grade.

In Xin Yun\'s previous life, a tycoon had started out this way and, within a few years, had earned millions of Gold Coins!

In different regions, everyone\'s energy systems varied. As the saying goes, "the local environment shapes the inhabitants"; people near deserts typically had more Earth Series affinity, while those near forests had more Wood Series, and those near oceans and lakes had more Water Series. At the same time, the energy series opposed to these were less common.

This city, situated on verdant plains, therefore had a larger number of individuals with Life Element affinity, with far fewer Martial Artists of other elements, especially the gray Death Series which stood in opposition to life; these were almost nonexistent, and if present, were outsiders.

Hence, in this city, Life Element Dragon Crystals sold the best and were the most expensive, while other series were relatively cheaper. As for the gray Death Series, although there were indeed buyers, the scant few were negligible in the grand scheme of the market, making it the cheapest.

Xin Yun had acquired his Dragon Crystals at the price of one Silver each. In this city, he should be able to sell them for two Silver, so when Xin Yun proposed to exchange various series of Dragon Crystals for Death Series Dragon Crystals, who would refuse? Their cost price was also one Silver, so the deal benefited both parties!

For Xin Yun, fifty Dragon Crystals were exchanged for one hundred Death Series Dragon Crystals, doubling the quantity and overall value. And for those sellers, although they didn\'t make a cent from the exchange, it solved the problem of overstock and eased their concerns about liquid capital.

Of course, Xin Yun didn\'t get all the Dragon Crystals from just one place; in fact, he could only get about a dozen from each. After running to more than ten places, Xin Yun managed to exchange all his Dragon Crystals.

After exchanging the last Dragon Crystal, Xin Yun had already realized a 100% profit from his trip to the plains. Most importantly, in their next destination, the price of these Death Series Dragon Crystals would be very high and easy to sell—at double the price here!
