Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 831 Are you perhaps looking down on me? (8K)

However, although Chen Ping knew about this matter, he didn't have any good solutions to the current situation.

Such a large mining area, even if it were to be mined, would not be something that could be mined out in a short period of time.

Even if the Sun Moon Empire were to invade and occupy Dragon City in a few months, it would take them a very long time to mine all the rare metal veins here, let alone them.

Rather than considering how to fully develop the mine now, Chen Ping preferred to wait for the Sun Moon Empire to help with the development. Once they had mined enough, he would find a way to launch a surprise attack here occasionally, harvesting the fruits of the Sun Moon Empire's labor like harvesting leeks.

Just as Chen Ping was pondering, Nan Qiuqiu led him through the hall and into the depths of the backyard of the Earth Dragon Gate, where he met a somewhat tired Nan Shuishui.

"The last time we met, you were still Chen. This time, you should be addressed as Prince Wu'an. Greetings, Nan Shuishui, the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Sect."

Nan Shuishui had already been informed by her subordinates, and when she saw Chen Ping and Nan Qiuqiu arrive together, she spoke very politely.

"Master Nanmen, you're too kind."

Chen Ping cupped his hands in greeting: "During this period of cooperation between your sect and Shrek Academy, we have benefited quite a bit, obtaining a lot of rare ores from your sect that are priceless and unavailable on the market."

Chen Ping's words were true. As soon as the war in the Sun Moon Empire began, it drastically tightened the circulation of various rare metals, causing the prices of many rare metals to rise sharply, and many rare metals became so expensive that they were unavailable.

Although Longcheng had not discovered a giant mineral vein until some time into the war, it was only then that they found it, located a few dozen miles outside Longcheng on the northern edge of the region.

However, due to the exposed nature of metals, the Earth Dragon Sect has accumulated a considerable amount of rare metals over the years, which have now all been sold to Shrek Academy and Dan Pavilion.

During the war, if Nan Shuishui wanted to sell these rare metals, she could have easily gotten a high price, but the other party did not take advantage of that.

"What's this?"

Nan Shuishui slowly shook her head: "I tried to persuade the Tianlong Sect to give up the competition and withdraw before, but unfortunately I couldn't persuade them in the end. The sect's best disciples and vice sect leader almost perished in the Sun Moon Empire."

"It was only because of your divine intervention, Prince Wu'an, that they only lost an ear and a finger, and they all returned safely. What if they hadn't come back?"

"In this respect, our entire Earth Dragon Gate owes you a huge favor, and as Qiuqiu's mother, I don't know how to express my gratitude."

Nan Shuishui's tone was quite sincere.

If Nan Shuishui's earlier hasty departure with the entire sect and her advice to other sects to leave as soon as possible seemed somewhat alarming, it was only when the Sun Moon Empire sealed off the entire Ming Capital and even cut off the ears of the hostages that Nan Shuishui truly felt a sense of lingering fear, as if she had survived a catastrophe.

She dared not imagine what would have happened if she and Nan Qiuqiu had both fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire, especially with the Heavenly Dragon Sect as a countermeasure. Nan Shuishui's sense of luck in having escaped death by a hair's breadth was even stronger.

"Therefore, in addition to the various rare ores that our Earth Dragon Gate has accumulated before, I have also prepared a separate gift of thanks for you."

Nan Shuishui led Chen Ping and Nan Qiuqiu deeper into the backyard until they reached a well.

"This is the secret realm of my Earth Dragon Sect."

After Nan Shuishui and Chen Ping made a brief introduction, Nan Shuishui noticed that Chen Ping's expression was somewhat strange.

"To be honest, Sect Master Nan, besides wanting to visit the Heavenly Dragon Gate, I also came here for the Earth Dragon Gate's sect secret realm."

Looking at the well emanating a chilling aura, Chen Ping instinctively spoke, "However, that's true, this is, after all, the Earth Dragon Sect's secret realm. Taking advantage of a favor is never my style. How about I take advantage of you and buy it for one hundred million?" "Hiss—"

As soon as Chen Ping said this, the air temperature around the Cold Well dropped several degrees instantly. Both Nan Qiuqiu and Nan Shuishui were stunned by Chen Ping's outrageously generous words.

"One hundred million copper soul coins?"

Nan Shuishui tried converting the price to a different unit and breathed a sigh of relief. She felt the price was a bit low, but not bad either, since their Dilongmen was short of money.

"One hundred million gold soul coins, Sect Master Nan, are you looking down on me? When have I ever done business without using gold soul coins?"

Chen Ping scratched his head in confusion. He hadn't used silver soul coins and bronze soul coins in years. Besides, was one hundred million gold soul coins a lot?

It's nothing more than the price of thirty high-altitude detection soul tools, ten ultra-high-altitude detection soul tools, or a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo along with a level nine soul tool, the God-Sealing Platform.

With this amount of money, Chen Ping would be overjoyed to be able to buy a bunch of Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Back when Ma Xiaotao couldn't suppress her evil fire, Elder Xuan searched the whole world for the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow but couldn't find it, and even went to the far north several times.

Back then, if he had been allowed to buy it with his own money, even a single piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow could have sold for tens of millions of gold soul coins!
This thing can not only suppress the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body almost perfectly, but also has a considerable probability of directly upgrading an ice-attribute soul master's martial soul to the ultimate ice level. Tens of millions of gold soul coins, it's really not expensive.

"The Southern Sect mainly feels that the amount is insufficient. Actually, I can add more, but the cash flow of Shrek Academy and Dan Pavilion has been very fast recently, and we can't withdraw too much working capital at once. I can pay a deposit of 100 million first, and then..."

"Stop talking, stop talking."

Nan Shuishui clutched her chest in distress. Oh my god, what did she just hear?
This guy has hundreds of millions of gold soul coins in cash on hand, but he only took 100 million gold soul coins to maintain the health of his cash flow, and he even wanted to use it as a deposit.
At this moment, Nan Qiuqiu had no idea that the Dan Pavilion, where she usually stayed, was so wealthy, and she felt dizzy.

"How about I borrow some more from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School? They have tens of billions in liquid funds in their accounts, so taking out a few hundred million gold soul coins shouldn't be a problem."

Before Chen Ping could finish speaking, Nan Shuishui nearly fell backward and almost fainted.

One hundred million gold soul coins is an astronomical figure for Nan Shuishui, the sect leader.

Every word Chen Ping uttered afterward exceeded Nan Shuishui's psychological threshold. After a series of provocations, the sect leader was on the verge of fainting.

"Alright, let's go with one hundred million, whether it's gold soul coins or bronze soul coins, that's fine."

Nan Shuishui smiled bitterly, not daring to listen to Chen Ping's incessant chatter any longer.

One hundred million gold soul coins is not much for someone who can mass-produce highly profitable products like high-altitude detection soul tools.

Moreover, Chen Ping is now the son-in-law of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that Ning Tian brought back to the sect is enough for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to unconditionally support Chen Ping.

But as for the Earth Dragon Gate, they are not as wealthy as the Body Sect!
Despite their anger over the 100 million gold soul coins, the Body Sect ultimately couldn't bring themselves to hand over the money and opted to rob the Mingde Hall instead. As for the local Dragon Gate, they were lucky to have a few million gold soul coins in their accounts.

In this situation, although Nan Shuishui wanted to loudly tell Chen Ping that the sect's secret realm was not for buying and selling, but a gift she gave to Chen Ping to express her gratitude, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

This guy gave too much!
