Chapter 141: Qiankun Bag
"This must really be confusing for commander Qin Lei!"
Chu Huai Sheng said on the side with a smile, "If Ah Yu did not know how to refine medicines, then how would he have cured her highness Yin from the Dragon Snake poison in the Seeking Dragon Forest? Especially a dragon turned Dragon Snake, its poison is quite violent!"
Qin Lei patted his forehead and said with a smile, "So it's like this, I indeed never thought of that……That's right Ah Yu, since you can refine Dreaming of the Peak, then can big brother Qin Lei ask you a bold request?"
"Please say it big brother." Lin Mu Yu replied with a faint smile.
"It's like this……"
Qin Lei walked forward and placed the Thunder Cleaver on the table. Then he said, "You should know the strength of the Imperial Guards already. Although it is the strongest force in Orchid Goose City, however…..You've already seen Zeng Yi Fan and Cang Bai He's Saint Realm strength. My Imperial Guards are too weak. I am the Imperial Guards commander, so I want to give everyone a bottle of Dreaming of the Peak, that's why I want to ask Ah Yu to make a total of 206 bottles of Dreaming of the Peak. So, can it be done?"
"Dreaming of the Peak requires a banned item in the empire, the Seven Coloured Lotus……" Lin Mu Yu knit his brows and then looked at Jin Xiao Tang to say, "I wonder how many Seven Coloured Lotus the Imperial Capital Store has."
Jin Xiao Tang pursed her lips and said, "The Seven Coloured Lotus is a banned medicine, so the Imperial Capital Store has a quota for our stock. We gave all our stock to big brother Ah Yu in the past. If we buy more and it is found out by the imperial guards or the Divine Battalion. Xiao Tang is only a merchant, I don't have to be tortured by the Firebird Division….."
Qin Lei gave a laugh, "This is very simple. As the Imperial Guard Commander, I can't do much, but I can write you an Imperial Guard order. You will be able to buy as many Seven Coloured Lotus without anyone bothering you."
"Really? That would be great……" Jin Xiao Tang gave a cheer.
Qin Lei quickly wrote the order and placed a golden seal on it. Then he said, "That's right, can you give me the forty bottles of Dreaming of the Peak to me? I'll pay 8000 gold coins per bottle, you're not allowed to haggle."
Lin Mu Yu quickly said, "No need. Since big brother Qin Lei wants it, then there's no need for such a high price. Moreover, I have so much money that I don't know what to do with it."
Qin Lei shook his head, "Ah Yu, those words aren't right, these Dreaming of the Peak are worth the money. Then again, this money comes from his highness and the ministry of finance, so it is the money collected from taxes every year. It should be used for this kind of thing and if I don't use it here, the ministry would use it on their concubines and to buy treasures with. So, Ah Yu, there's no need to be polite!"
"Since it's like this, then I can only obey your orders."
"Un, that's more like it!"
Qin Lei waved his hand and several Imperial Guards brought a heavy bag in, filled with brand new diamond coins. For forty Dreaming of the Peak at 8000 gold coins per bottle, that was a total of 320000 gold coins, which was a total of 320 diamond coins. A deep "guang dang" sound rang out when it hit the table, a sound that made Lin Mu Yu and Jin Xiao Tang ecstatic.
The back room manager calculated everything and said, "Sir Lin Mu Yu's items sold for a total of 542900 gold coins. Adding in our 10% fee, then the total becomes 488610 gold coins. With young miss Xiao Tang's suggestion to round up, it becomes a total of 490000 gold coins. Taking off the 90000 gold coins credit, we will give Sir Lin Mu Yu a total of 400 diamond coins immediately!"
400000 gold coins!!
Lin Mu Yu was ecstatic when he heard this. When the heavy bag of 400 diamond coins was placed in front of him, he was so happy that he was about to fly in the sky.
Wei Chou on the side cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to sir for becoming rich!"
Lin Mu Yu gave a laugh and then took out ten diamond coins for Wei Chou. He said, "Treat these 10000 gold coins as expenses for building our new camp!"
"Yes, sir!" Wei Chou took the money and revealed a look of joy.
The Falcon Guards lived in poverty and many of the people there were from common origins. The majority of their salaries were sent to their families, not leaving much for themselves. The had to live in a frugal manner. Now with this 10000 gold coins, the 110 people that Lin Mu Yu commanded could live a gold life. It was a good thing to meet a rich man!
While Lin Mu Yu was happily spending his money, Qin Lei patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Stinky little brat, don't just smile like a fool all day. Sir Qu Chu has returned to the Ze Tian Palace this morning, do you want to go see him? If required, I can come with you."
"Grandpa Qu Chu is back to the capital?" Lin Mu Yu asked in a happy voice.
"That's right!"
"Alright, I'll come right now."
"Un!"
So, Wei Chou and the other Falcon Guards went to buy the materials while Lin Mu Yu followed Qin Lei and Chu Huai Sheng to the Ze Tian Palace. In the blink of an eye, he had been away from the Ze Tian Palace for a few days and now the distant palace walls seemed unfamiliar to him.
The 390 diamond coins were hanging on both sides of his horse. Lin Mu Yu was very happy as he looked at the money, smiling like a fool as he entered the Ze Tian Palace.
In the side hall, were ministers on both side, spreading a giant white paper for the ruler Qin Jin. Qin Jin was writing on the paper with ink, writing the words "scenery like a picture" in beautiful characters. Qin Jin was said to be a double talent in both drawing and calligraphy. Although Lin Mu Yu was not too skilled in calligraphy, he could tell that Qin Jin's words had a sort of power behind them.
Qu Chu stood to the side and said with a smile, "Your highness' writing is becoming even more dignified."
Qin Jin revealed a faint smile, "Sir Qu Chu also understands calligraphy?"
"Then what do you think about this?"
"This old man was only praising your highness."
"……"
Qin Jin had nothing to reply with.
At this moment, a servant said, "Your highness, commander Qin Lei is bringing sir Lin Mu Yu here to find sir Qu Chu. They are outside right now."
Qu Chu stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "Does your highness want to meet little brat Lin Mu Yu with this old man?"
Qin Jin frowned and said, "No need. Sir Qu Chu can go by yourself."
"Alright!"
It was as if Qin Jin was still caring about Lin Mu Yu going against him. Qu Chu had no other choice and could only go out by himself.
Outside the hall, Lin Mu Yu was gently rubbing his purse, still deeply enriched in the feeling of becoming rich.
"Ke, ke!" Qu Chu gave a cough.
Lin Mu Yu finally recovered himself from his dream and turned with a smile to say, "Grandpa Qu Chu, you're back?"
Qu Chu nodded, "Stinky brat, being able to come back after being exiled to the Heaven Connecting Tower, your will to live is really strong!"
"Ha."
"That's right, what is in your bag that you're eyes reveal such a strange look as you rub it? Could it be you kidnap a beautiful girl?" Qu Chu raised his brow and asked with a smile.
"Ah, no….." Lin Mu Yu opened the bag and said with a smile, "Grandpa Qu Chu, take a look."
Qu Chu looked in and revealed a look of surprise, "Did you rob the ministry of finance's treasury?"
"How could that be possible?!" Lin Mu Yu indignantly said, "Am I that kind of person to you? This money was earned through my hard work……"
Qu Chu couldn't help revealing a smile, "If you bring such a heavy bag around with you, aren't you afraid of showing your money off to others? Alright, Grandpa has found a treasure in the depths of the Dragon Seeking Forest and I'll give it to you."
"Oh, what is it?" Lin Mu Yu was excited.
Qu Chu took out a black bag from his chest and said with a smile, "It's this….."
This bag wasn't even the size of his palm which made Lin Mu Yu feel a little speechless, "This little bag wouldn't be used for holding fruits, right?"
"Pei!"
Qu Chu said, "This is the legendary Qiankun Bag. There is a space inside of it that is impervious to everything, including the elements. It is a spatial bag that you can use to store your things in!"
"Really?"
Lin Mu Yu took the bag. He opened the bag up and stuck his hand in. He found that his whole hand could be stuck in, which made it incredibly strange. The inside of the Qiankun Bag was very cold, it really was a perfect space for storing items. Carrying things in the Qiankun Bag made them weightless, it was really easy to use. This was truly a timely thing for a "big dog" like him!
"This is great!"
He went wild with joy and threw all his diamond coins into the bag. Then he tried taking it out and found that there were no problems. The storage space was small, only being around as big as a storage room, but that was still enough.
After throwing the 390 diamond coins into the Qiankun bag, he placed it at his waist. Feeling pleased, he cupped his hand and said, "Many thanks Grandpa Qu Chu, I really like this Qiankun Bag!"
"It's good that you like it, now take out some money!" Qu Chu reached out his hand and said.
"What do you mean!"
"You won't give Grandpa a bit of drinking money after he gives you a Qiankun Bag?" Qu Chu angrily said, "This Qiankun Bag is a rare treasure, it would sell for several hundred thousand gold coins in an auction house! Your Grandpa Qu Chu lives a simple life, earning a tiny salary every month, you should pay a little filial piety!"
Lin Mu Yu reluctantly took out some diamond coins. There was a total of ten that he handed to Qu Chu. Then he said, "Grandpa shouldn't spend it too quickly……"
Qu Chu quickly put the diamond coins into his chest and then nodded with a smile, "Un, I know……"
Qin Lei, Feng Ji Xing, Chu Huai Sheng, and the others didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However when Lin Mu Yu saw that Qu Chu was back, he felt much more relaxed.
The Divine Battalion was becoming stronger and adding in Zeng Yi Fan's abnormal strength, the balance of power was changing to favour the God Marquis palace, but the arrival of Qu Chu changed that. With Flame Cauldron Qu Chu in the capital, Zeng Yi Fan would feel reserved and the balance of power would become even once again.
Qin Lei walked forward and whispered, "Sir Qu Chu…..What happened to the matter with Swordsman Hall?"
Qu Chu shook his head and said, "The Lingnan's Swordsman Hall is not making a move and will not cause a stir, but the Swordsman Hall near Orchid Goose City seems ready to cause trouble. My appearance and strength is too easily found, so I didn't find out much. The only thing I found was…..some kind of foreboding."
"This is naturally ominous." Feng Ji Xing gripped his Slicing Wind Blade and said, "Princess Xi's attack and her highness Yin's attacks in the Seeking Dragon Forest have all had the Swordsman Hall influence behind it. This is definitely a plot, one that signals their intent to rebel against the kingdom!"
Qu Chu took in a deep breath, "Yes, but we don't have any evidence yet."
