Chapter 58: It's still easier to make money from perverts

After all the gold had been transported over, Chen Feng notified Jack to come over.

As Jack stepped into the room, he was instantly stunned into a stupor by the mountain of gold piled before his eyes.

The sheer amount of gold brought a shock so immense it was overwhelming.

It felt as if he were standing before a literal mountain of gold.

What Jack found most unbelievable was that when he had previously escorted Chen Feng to the room, it had been completely empty.

Yet now, after only a short while, the room was filled with such a vast quantity of gold.

This ability to conjure gold out of thin air inspired a sense of worship in Jack toward Chen Feng.

If he could even manifest gold, what was there that his boss could not achieve?

"Send all the proceeds to my domestic account through a money changer. Here is the account number."

Chen Feng handed the bank card number to Jack.

Money changers specialized in laundering black money; although the service fees were somewhat high, they were reliable in terms of security.

Jack immediately accepted the slip of paper with both hands.

"Boss, please rest assured, I will handle this matter perfectly."

Jack still hadn't recovered from his shock.

With so much gold, he couldn't even calculate how much money it would fetch in the moment.

"I need to leave for a while. I should be back in a few days," Chen Feng said.

The reason Chen Feng chose to leave was that although Jack's location seemed safe, it would be dangerous if they were targeted while selling the gold.

Additionally, since selling the gold would take some time, he planned to find a remote location outside to stay in while returning to the Scroll World.

Chen Feng wasn't worried about Jack embezzling the gold.

After witnessing his abilities, Jack wouldn't dare even if he were given ten times the courage.

Demonstrating his ability to manifest gold out of thin air was also intended to make Jack fear him even more.

After giving Jack his instructions, Chen Feng left the security company.

In the Scroll World, Chen Feng appeared within the Xingfeng Sect.

The Xingfeng Sect had been very peaceful during this period, with almost nothing happening.

Wang Hu was doing as usual, leading men in training on the martial arts field.

The number of inner sect martial artists had increased slightly, now totaling around fifty people, all selected by Wang Hu.

Liu Qian had also immediately brought the families of these new inner sect members into the Xingfeng Sect.

This was the biggest difference between Wang Hu and Liu Qian.

Wang Hu valued loyalty; as long as one was sufficiently loyal to the Xingfeng Sect, he would show them respect.

But Liu Qian was different. No matter how loyal a person was, in Liu Qian's eyes, one must have leverage to control them.

By bringing their families into the sect, these people would have to consider the consequences if they ever thought of betraying him.

Chen Feng found Liu Qian to instruct him on the acquisition of healing pills and to have him sell the small commodities he had bought from Eagleland last time.

Last time, he had acquired many modern goods from Eagleland, and they had been sitting in the warehouse.

It was time to sell them.

With the current strength of the Xingfeng Sect, they could sell these things openly without issue.

They no longer had to fear being targeted.

"Sect Master, I went to the warehouse to take a look. Those illustrations are indeed very novel. Selling them in Liuyang Town will surely result in good sales, but how should we set the price?"

Liu Qian asked Chen Feng.

He had looked at those pictorial books of beautiful women last time.

He had only looked for a moment, but he felt his blood rushing; he had even secretly taken a few copies to look at every night before sleeping.

He had no idea where his Sect Master had obtained such novel things.

"Price each book at two hundred taels of silver. You can decide the prices for the other items, but none should be less than one hundred taels per piece."

Chen Feng was not going to be polite when it came to profiting from the perverts of the Scroll World.

"Understood, Sect Master. I will arrange for someone to handle this immediately." Liu Qian did not think the price was high; on the contrary, he thought it was quite cheap.

If it were him, he would certainly be willing to buy them.

After finishing his instructions to Liu Qian, Chen Feng went to the dense forest near the mine. He prepared to cultivate his second Qi Refining stage spell.

That was the Wind Blade Technique.

While his cultivation level could not progress, spells could still be practiced.

The Wind Blade Technique could condense spiritual energy into wind blades, allowing for killing enemies at extremely long distances.

Although the Fireball Technique was powerful, distance was an issue.

Chen Feng had tested it; the maximum range of the Fireball Technique was only twenty meters.

Once it exceeded twenty meters, the power of the spiritual fire would weaken, and its speed would slow down.

In contrast, the Wind Blade Technique had a killing range of two hundred meters and even possessed tracking capabilities.

He could control the trajectory of the wind blade in the air; as long as there was sufficient spiritual energy, the blade would not disappear.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed quietly.

In the dense forest outside the Xingfeng Sect, the sound of air being sliced rang out continuously.

A blue, arc-shaped wind blade shuttled through the forest, cutting down every tree it touched.

Looking at the dozens of severed trees before him, Chen Feng showed a look of satisfaction.

Cultivating the Wind Blade Technique was much simpler than the Fireball Technique.

It had taken him half a month to master the Fireball Technique, but he had already succeeded with the Wind Blade Technique in ten days.

What dissatisfied Chen Feng, however, was that his transcendent state only lasted for a few minutes.

If this problem wasn't solved, the drawback would be too great.

For now, he could only wait to see if increasing his cultivation would provide a solution.

Ceasing his training, Chen Feng walked out of the forest and back to the Xingfeng Sect.

As soon as he arrived, Liu Qian came to meet him.

A smile was plastered across Liu Qian's face

"Sect Master, those pictorial books have all been snatched up! The three great families are asking if there are more. They want to purchase some from us to sell in other towns."

Hearing this, Chen Feng mused that no matter which world it was, the purchasing power of perverts was indeed the strongest.

These were just pictorial books; if he brought over those movies, he could probably sell them for astronomical prices.

"Wait a while. These things are hard to come by."

Chen Feng understood the principle that scarcity increases value; he couldn't sell too many at once so that he could maintain high prices in the future.

"Has there been any movement from the Imperial Family?" Chen Feng asked.

It had been nearly half a month since the destruction of the Jiang family, yet there had been no news from the Imperial Family.

Logically, they should have at least inquired about Jiang Hong.

Liu Qian shook his head. "No. The Imperial Family wouldn't care about such trivial matters right now."

Chen Feng sensed a deeper meaning in those words. He didn't speak but simply looked at Liu Qian.

Liu Qian immediately dropped his smile and said respectfully

"I only received news three days ago. Ning State has declared war on Yue State. The Imperial Family is currently mobilizing troops to prepare a counterattack, so they certainly have no interest in the affairs of the Jiang family."

"Ning State?" Chen Feng remembered.

He had indeed heard of this country; it was the closest nation to Yue State.

Six hundred miles east of Liuyang Town was the territory of Ning State.

Many Yue State merchants would travel there to bring back goods for resale.

"Does this kind of war happen often?" Chen Feng asked, as Liu Qian seemed unbothered by the news of war.

Liu Qian replied

"Yue State and Ning State go to war almost every few years. It lasts anywhere from a few months to several years. Since the time I was born, the wars between the two nations have never ceased."
