Chapter 505 Excited Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu
"Out of curiosity, my senior brother and I also went to the merchant's shop to find out what was going on."
"How is the result?"
Jiang Changye asked impatiently.
"result……"
Jiang Weiyu paused for a moment, then said, "The merchant's claims were absolutely true! He immediately took a bowl of blood from a Blood Feather Chicken and gave it to a martial artist at the peak of the ninth rank to drink. After drinking the blood, the martial artist instantly broke through his realm, leaping from the peak of the ninth rank to the eighth rank!"
"It really has such miraculous effects?"
Jiang Changye's eyes widened even more. Breaking through the bottleneck has always been a major challenge for martial artists.
For an ordinary martial artist to advance from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, they not only need to train hard every day, but also need a large amount of medicinal herbs.
What troubles martial artists even more is that medicinal herbs cannot guarantee a 100% success rate in breaking through bottlenecks; there is a chance of failure. Furthermore, the price of medicinal herbs is often extremely high—it's no exaggeration to say…
If one is unlucky, the cost of medicine needed to break through a bottleneck is enough to bankrupt a well-off martial artist.
And what about the Bloodfeather Chicken?
Just a bowl of chicken blood was enough to help a peak ninth-rank martial artist break through to the eighth-rank realm. Such an effect is truly extraordinary.
"After that martial artist personally tested it, the martial artists in the city no longer doubted the effects of the Blood Feather Chicken. They excitedly asked the merchant to buy Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens. The merchant's shop sold 10 Blood Feather Chickens for 100 taels of silver each!"
Jiang Weiyu slowly said, "The price of the Crimson Blood Chicken is even more astonishing. There are a total of 5 Crimson Blood Chickens, and each one sold for an astronomical price of 300 taels of silver."
Jiang Changye's expression didn't change much when he heard the price. In his understanding, chicken breeds like Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken, which have miraculous effects, were not expensive at 100 taels of silver and 300 taels of silver, respectively. In fact, they could be considered quite cheap.
Chen Dao and Zheng Qiuyan looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew the prices of Blood Feather Chicken and Red Blood Chicken all too well.
The wholesale price of a blood-feathered chicken in Chenjia Village is 20 taels of silver, and a red-blooded chicken is 120 taels of silver. Based on the merchant's selling price, the merchant can earn at least 80 taels of silver per blood-feathered chicken and at least 180 taels of profit per red-blooded chicken, which can be described as exorbitant profits!
Of course, the merchant certainly didn't get the goods directly from Chenjia Village. There's a very high probability that he bought the Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken from the county town, that is, from the Zheng family, so the cost would definitely be higher.
Even so, the merchant's profits were still quite considerable. The Zheng family now sells Blood Feather Chicken for about 70 taels of silver and Red Blood Chicken for about 180 taels of silver in the county town.
The merchant sold blood-feathered chickens for 100 taels and red-blooded chickens for 180 taels. The profit from a blood-feathered chicken was at least 30 taels, and the profit from a red-blooded chicken was even more terrifying, earning 120 taels per chicken, which was no less than that of the Zheng family.
The martial artists in this prefecture are really rich!
Chen Dao couldn't help but sigh. A blood-feathered chicken that cost 20 taels in Chenjia Village could sell for 100 taels in the prefectural city, and the supply couldn't meet the demand. This made Chen Dao realize the wealth of the martial artists in the prefectural city and also made him realize the huge market in the prefectural city.
Unfortunately... not just anyone can do business in the prefectural city. Even the Zheng family, which has a huge business, cannot extend its reach to the prefectural city.
Chen Dao was almost certain that the merchant who transported the Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken to the prefectural city must have a powerful background in the city, and might even be a merchant from the Green King's Mansion, otherwise...
The sale of their blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens will certainly not be so smooth.
"Little friend."
Having learned about Bloodfeather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens, Jiang Changye looked at Chen Dao and asked, "You suddenly brought up Bloodfeather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens. Could it be that you possess a large number of them and intend to trade with me?"
"Exactly!"
Chen Dao nodded: "To be honest, senior, these Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens are among the goods I sell. If you are willing, senior, I am willing to offer a sufficient number of Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens to exchange for the superior martial art, Fufeng Sword Technique."
Chen Dao did not mention that the Blood Feather Chicken and the Red Blood Chicken were produced in Chenjia Village; he simply described himself as a merchant who sold Blood Feather Chicken and Red Blood Chicken.
People's hearts are unfathomable. Although Chen Dao was willing to believe in the character of Jiang Changye and his two disciples, human nature cannot withstand the test. No one could guarantee that after learning that Chenjia Village was a place that produced Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens, Jiang Changye and his two disciples would not become greedy.
Of course, Chen Dao wasn't afraid of Jiang Changye. The little circle on his shoulder was enough for him to ignore the threat of Jiang Changye, a peak fourth-rank expert. He just didn't want to ruin his precious friendship with Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu.
"Brother Chen, is what you say true?"
Xue Qi's eyes lit up with surprise. Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken are chicken breeds that are effective against martial artists at the peak of the ninth to seventh rank. They are of no help to Xue Qi, who is at the peak of the seventh rank. However, just because they are of no help to him does not mean that the Sword Sect does not need Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken!
Since Zhang Zong founded the Sword-Wielding Sect, successive generations of its successors have shared a grand vision: to make everyone in Zhangshan Village as powerful as dragons, to make everyone in Zhangshan Village a martial artist, and to give every upright villager of Zhangshan Village, and even the lowest-ranking people of the entire Kyushu, the confidence to protect themselves and even resist tyranny!
But a grand ambition is a grand ambition precisely because it is difficult to achieve.
The idea that everyone can be a dragon and a martial artist sounds simple, but in reality, it is extremely difficult to achieve.
With the meager resources of the Sword Sect, let alone training a village of martial artists, it would be difficult to even train Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu.
Their talents are no less than Jiang Changye's, so why are they only at the peak of the seventh rank?
Isn't it all because of a lack of resources?
Due to a lack of resources, Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu, despite their strong talents, have not made smooth progress in martial arts. After several years of practice, they have only barely reached the peak of the seventh rank.
Even the medicinal herbs needed to break through to the peak of the seventh rank were difficult for the Sword-Wielding Sect to provide, so they had to leave the village and seek opportunities elsewhere.
This is the current situation of the Sword Sect and the entire Zhangshan Village. The villagers are barely able to make ends meet, but learning martial arts is impossible for them.
Therefore, Xue Qi was particularly excited when he heard that Chen Dao could exchange a sufficient number of Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens for the Fufeng Sword Technique.
He couldn't help but think that if they could really have enough Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens, then the Sword-Wielding Sect would no longer have to worry about cultivation resources. At that time... the grand ambition of everyone becoming a martial artist might really come true!
Not only Xue Qi, but also Jiang Weiyu and Jiang Changye had excitement in their eyes. They were equally eager for the Blood Feather Chicken and the Crimson Blood Chicken!
However, Jiang Changye had lived for decades and was ultimately a shrewd and calculating person.
