Chapter 295: In Great Demand, an Auction at the Banquet

Qin Xiao originally planned to give the Spirit Liquid to Imperial Prince Xiao Yuanchen, but the situation seemed to be developing in an entirely different direction.

The effect of this Spirit Liquid seemed to exceed expectations. If he really gave it away for free, it would likely invite even more trouble. He could be wealthy, but he could not let people think he possessed an inexhaustible supply.

“Er, yes. Since I’ve brought it out, I do intend to sell it.”

Qin Xiao could hardly back out now. With so many people asking to buy, he would have to sell some to settle things.

“Here’s how we’ll divide the two hundred jin: one hundred for the Imperial Prince, thirty for President Ling, thirty for Governor-General Bai, and thirty for Prince Ren. The ten jin or so left over won’t be enough, so I’ll add another forty and auction it by the jin.”

Qin Xiao quickly allocated the shares of these two hundred jin.

The Imperial Prince took the lion’s share; receiving one hundred jin was necessary. He had originally intended to gift it anyway. President Ling and Governor-General Bai were his current backers, so distributing thirty jin to each was perfectly reasonable.

Qin Xiao had thought about Xiao Yuanren’s thirty jin. They had not formally become enemies, so he could offer some courtesy. One enemy prince was enough; he did not need two. Besides, giving Prince Ren thirty jin and Prince De none would undermine the brothers’ alliance.

He would exclude Xiao Yuande from the auction for the remaining fifty jin as well. Qin Xiao did not believe thirty jin would make the prince leave him alone. Better to give him nothing, establish a reputation for himself, and win some goodwill.

“Haha, excellent! Since you’re so generous as to let me have one hundred jin, I won’t take advantage of you. At a hundred thousand per drop, that’s fifty thousand drops—five billion Spirit Stones.”

Xiao Yuanchen was very satisfied with Qin Xiao’s allocation. After all, too many people wanted it; he could not monopolize the entire stock. One hundred jin was more than enough, especially since he was leaving today. If he took it all, President Ling and Governor-General Bai would receive nothing, which would put Qin Xiao in a bad position.

Qin Xiao did not mind; his supply was close to inexhaustible. Still, he would plan as though he had only three hundred jin in stock. He had realized that Spirit Liquid might cause even more of a stir than Immortal Comprehension Fruit.

“Since the Imperial Prince is paying a hundred thousand per drop, the Immortal Dao Merchant Association won’t take advantage of you either. Thirty jin is fifteen thousand drops. That makes one and a half billion Spirit Stones.”
