Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 39: Secret

Looking at Fengyu, the steward smiled helplessly.

Who told him to earn so much?

Even those at the late stage of Qi Refining would at most save one thousand spirit stones a year!

And they all already had high-grade weapons, why buy another one?

As for the promise that it would be upgraded in ten years... they, the late stage cultivators, knew best how risky such a promise was!

Becoming a peak stage creation master isn’t something anyone can just do – achieving this means the cultivator has a chance to reach the Foundation Building!

Such a cultivator was extremely rare, how could they believe some random refiner who has barely entered the high grade at her early age?

The steward explained this to Fengyu, who was surprised.

"But steward, even ignoring it, the price of this weapon is still low." Fengyu shook his head again, this price, after all, was really too low. He wanted to know whether there was some trap.

"If you really want this, naturally the price is low for you. But others have more choices, don’t they?

They can freely choose and see which one is more useful to them.

In addition, few people choose to buy auxiliary weapons.

No matter how great they are, they’re too expensive. For the same price, they might as well buy two or three weapons."

Fengyu heard this and still shook his head – he didn’t believe one bit!

But sometimes no matter how much you look for holes in the logic, it doesn’t change the facts.

He could only accept that this flute was indeed worth more than the presented price, and that other people would rather make worse financial decisions than save for this peak of an item.

Just then, he remembered...

"Steward, I don’t have enough spirit stones to purchase this item."

"Most if not all your resources are sold to my shop, how could I not know your finances?

Don’t worry, I have an idea in mind. You can see whether you’re willing to accept it –

I will give you this item now and you will have to pay the cost in a timespan of 3 years.

In exchange, 90% of the resources you generate in the next ten years will be sold to me. How about it?"

"Just this?" Fengyu asked, surprised when he heard the rather lenient offer.

The steward raised an eyebrow when he heard this, then chuckled.

"You probably didn’t intend to change your seller, right?

Well, I’ll be honest. There have been a few people asking for your contact information to purchase the ducks and eggs directly from you.

You can decide whether to engage in business with these restaurants, or whether to stay with me and get this item earlier."

When he heard this, Fengyu finally realised why the price of this item was so low.

It’s likely that this steward snatched it away before anyone else could really look at it.

There are always buyers if you look, but if the item is taken right away, then it would really be difficult for others to purchase it.

Hearing the offer, he nodded casually, "That’s not an issue. Paying it over three years will also be fine. Then, can I take it right away?"

"Haha, sure, no problem. Take it," the steward nodded and handed over the box, looking at Fengyu deeply.

Usually such a trade of such a huge amount would require a contract, but looking at Fengyu, he stopped himself from taking out the prepared contract.

When doing an investment, one has to look at the different positions of people.

The steward could, with power and might, force Fengyu out of the village.

What happened outside was no longer something Fengyu could control.

No matter how close you are with a person, you have to cleanly settle the accounts.

Fengyu took the box, slightly surprised at heart he was given such an item.

This didn’t make him feel delighted but pressured – when people believe in you, they place their hopes on you.

He didn’t know how this steward would benefit, but this trade definitely didn’t come out of nowhere.

A thought spread in his mind – in the future, he shouldn’t be impatient and make such a deal, even if the terms were perfect.

His thoughts came and left, he simply smiled and said a few more things before going out.

Zimu waited in the cart, looking at Fengyu with some apprehension.

He didn’t say anything until they left the main plaza, only asking when they entered the side road, "What did you do so long in the store? You smell... I sense a bit of unpeacefulness from you."

"A sense of lacking peace? From me? Then... I think I now finally have the reason you felt that this place was peaceful even though it seems dangerous in every way.

If you are so sensitive to magic weapons, then maybe there is something behind this city that gives you a great feeling of peace?

But what kind of weapon, or tool, could overshadow the beast tides?"

He was truly curious and felt as if he had unlocked a deep secret.

After a moment, he stopped thinking about it.

Such a secret would definitely be kept hidden from lower cultivators, it was better not to think too deeply!

Just know that this place is really peaceful and let the rest go. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He looked at the sky and saw that it was still bright.

"Alas, initially I wanted to go and buy a few things from the trade fair, but now I have to consider my income and pay back this flute as soon as possible."

He sighed aloud but internally, a feeling of satisfaction couldn’t help but grow.

When he arrived in his field, he entered quickly and closed the formation.

Going into the hut, he sat on the futon and took out the flute, his spiritual power entering it and starting to refine it.

In the world of cultivation, weapons had a set amount of runes at each grade –

Magic Weapons have 1-18 runes, Magic Treasures have 19-27 runes, Spirit Weapons have 28-36 runes, Spirit Treasures have 37-48 runes, 49 Runes...
