Chapter 778 Setting Up A Stall
Jiang Ni squinted his eyes and continued, "You're from a distant place, and the force you built is not nearby. Now you're trying to buy popularity, and you have the means to bring people out of the Golden Desert and return to your force. Is it the Void Divine Gate or something else?"
He was very confident in his guess. This kind of confidence even had the power to influence people and make them believe in him.
"Brother Jiang is indeed exceptional. You're indeed an extremely rare Feng Shui master. Your eyes can see through all kinds of things in the mortal world, and your experience is astonishing." Li Xiang smiled and did not deny it.
Of course, some things didn't need to be answered.
"Let's go! Wushuang, you push the cart. We're merchants now!" said Li Xiang to Wushuang Ghost with a smile.
With a wave of his hand, a hand-pushed cart appeared in front of him. Immediately after, large wooden boxes appeared on the cart, filling it up. One could tell that there must be a lot of goods.
"Yes, Country Lord!"
Wushuang Ghost was not surprised. He chuckled as he stepped forward, grabbed the cart, and pushed it forward. The cart, which was full of goods, seemed to be weightless in his hands. It was easy to move.
"Let's go! We'll go together!" Li Xiang smiled as he greeted them. He then followed the cart to the General City.
Jiang Ni and Song Yuqing looked at each other and followed him without hesitation.
If an ordinary person were to push a huge cart with a mountain of goods, it would be difficult for them to move even an inch.
But since the one pushing the cart was the tall and sturdy Wushuang Ghost, it became normal.
No matter where this group went, they would be extremely eye-catching. As soon as they appeared near General City, they were noticed by countless people, and they began to discuss.
"Are they newcomers? Why is someone pushing a cart over? What were in the boxes on the cart? They look heavy!"
"I don't know. Could they be merchants? However, the Golden Desert is full of fierce beasts and monsters. Some villages and towns are attacked by fierce beasts every day. They may die at any time. There are also desert bandits running amuck. Even if there are merchants, they won't dare to go around doing business, right? Those who can come here to do business don't have many goods with them, and the quantity is very small. They are all ordinary items, and the price is extremely expensive."
"Ah, it'll be great if there are big merchants here. We also have materials from fierce beasts we hunted, Ice Stones fished out from the Ice Lake, Crimson Blood Stones excavated from the mine veins and all kinds of medicinal herbs planted on the medicine mountain. It's a pity that I can't get good things without a big merchant, not even some basic daily necessities."
The commoners looked at the cart with anticipation in their eyes.
Bang!
Wushuang Ghost pushed the cart to the gate of the General City and stopped.
The so-called city gate was only made of a few pieces of tough and thick wood, simple and crude to the extreme.
Clang clang clang!
He got a gong out of nowhere and hit it hard. Soon, everybody looked over.
"Citizens of the General City! My name is Li Xiang, and I'm a wandering merchant. This time, I've brought some supplies to this precious land. I hope that I can trade with all of you. I have all kinds of daily necessities, potions, and cultivation techniques classics here. Whether you buy them or not, you can come over and take a look. Maybe you can find what you want here. I accept Star Coins as the currency. Of course, you can exchange for Star Coins first before you make a purchase. Don't worry, my goods are certainly of good quality and cheap. I'm honest with everyone," Li Xiang smiled and cupped his hands as he spoke to the people around him.
By then, Wushuang Ghost had already brought down the boxes. Then, he opened up a huge mat in an open space.
He opened the boxes and placed all kinds of materials on the mat. It looked like there was an unusually rich variety of items.
There were boxes of crossbow arrows, bone battle arrows, bone battle bows, divine crossbows, as well as mounted crossbows, and all kinds of talismans.
There were bottles of pills and rolls of fine brocade. There were all sorts of exquisite bone porcelain, pots, bowls, ladles, and so on. Whether it was food or use, almost everything was there.
There was also salt, condiments, ready-made clothes for men and women, shoes, and so on. Everything was on display on the street.
There were even cultivation techniques and classics. Although they were all relatively basic or low-level cultivation techniques and battle skills, they were still the most precious and most popular for the people who had no way to learn.
On the side, Li Xiang waved his hand and released a huge amount of Star Coins, which piled up into a small golden mountain. The Star Coins glowed with a golden light that was so bright that people could barely open their eyes.
This time, they would still use Star Coins as the currency. Even though there would be an additional exchange process, it was still a necessary step for the circulation of goods and currency.
The barter system is the most primitive trading method. Only by trading with Star Coins could it benefit the Kingdom of Dawn. It could condense luck, gather all types of power of will and faith, and even make every race see the Star Coins in this way. This is even a crucial step to making it the mainstream currency. Now, Li Xiang wanted to expand the influence of Star Coins in the Golden Desert.
"This is the Star Coin! Whether it is the corpses of fierce beasts or all kinds of rare treasures, they can be exchanged for Star Coins at the corresponding price. After refining, the coins can enhance one's cultivation and increase one's cultivation speed. Furthermore, there are no impurities at all, and it won't form pill poison in the body. This is also an excellent currency. Whether you accept it or not, the goods here only accept Star Coins!" said Li Xiang again.
At this moment, a large number of commoners had already gathered around. When they saw the various goods placed in front of them, their eyes lit up and even their breathing became rapid.
From war supplies to weapons, daily necessities, clothes, books, and so on, there was almost everything. There were so many resources and items. None of the people here had ever seen anything like this before. All of them wanted nothing more than to take all these things for themselves.
