Chapter 555

Where do you put this?

Didnt I instruct you to move this way!

Sasuk! I believe it will be challenging to lift it this high.

Then simply stack it on the next one!

Under Baek Sangs direction, the disciples from Mount Hua began organizing the gifts and transporting the luggage. The valuable offerings from the North Sea were arranged individually and stacked orderly in the barn.

Hehehe.

Hyun Youngs lips curled into a smile as he observed the scene.

While he was with the disciples, he tried to maintain a neutral expression, but his facial muscles refused to cooperate.

Hehe. Hehehehe.

Upon seeing the pile of items resembling a mountain, he felt satiated despite not eating.

Baek Sang approached him, untying the sack and revealing its contents.

Elder, I have no idea what this is.

Hmm? Let me see Ah, this is my first time seeing this Young Master, do you recognize it?

Hwang Jongi, who had journeyed from the village to assist with sorting, peered inside and was taken aback.

Isnt this the Snow Lotus?

Is it a valuable item?

Its extremely valuable! Its a rare herb and only grows in the North Sea! It was already scarce, but with trade cut off from the North Sea, not even one has made it here, causing its price to surge dramatically!

Hyun Youngs smile broadened further.

So, this is valuable.

Indeed. Very impressive.

Hehehehe.

Its peculiar. Why do all items from the North Sea appear to be precious and costly?

In truth, its quite natural. The North Sea differs greatly from the central plains in both lifestyle and environment. Consequently, theres an array of items exclusive to that region.

Hwang Jongi swallowed hard, unable to peel his gaze from the sack.

Of course, if trade with the North resumes now, prices will gradually decrease. For a time, though, certain items could sell for five, no, ten times their value. Oh my, how did they manage to select such things? Finnd new chapters at novel35.com

Hehehe.

Hyun Young sat next to him, offering a warm smile as he patted Chung Myungs head.

I must admit, its somewhat embarrassing to sing my own praises, but our Chung Myung, he truly has the Midas touch.

Hehehehe!

Im not certain, but he would have undoubtedly been a successful merchant.

Heeheeheehee!

Jo Gul, overhearing the conversation while carrying in baggage, grimaced.

Elder, these are the items the Ice Palace people chose to give us, right? That wretch Chung Myung didnt choose a single item!

Upon hearing this, Hyun Young smiled.

Jo Gul.

Yes?

Be quiet. And continue to bring the luggage inside.

Hyun Young clucked his tongue at the sight of Jo Gul carrying the luggage with a disgruntled expression.

Tsk. Tsk. That guy who is a son of a merchant cannot be so narrow-minded!

Sahyung is always like that.

Hmph! He shouldnt have spoken!

For Jo Gul, who was hearing this, it felt like a bad dream.

But when it came to Chung Myung, who would dare contradict Hyun Young?

If you wish to excel as a merchant, your merit must match that of our Chung Myung! Isnt that the case, young master?

Ha haha. Right. Ahem.

Hwang Jongi, beads of sweat dripping down his face, nodded in agreement.

Reflecting on it, its troubling that his statement isnt incorrect.

There was a saying in the merchant world. The hardworking cannot match the smart, and the smart cannot match the lucky.

At first glance, it might seem ridiculous, but this statement accurately describes a certain truth.

Success in the ascent of business necessitated impeccable calculation and strategic planning. A deal could be finalized only when accompanied by rigorous preparation and effort, and only then can substantial profit be realized.

However, there were instances when a deal materialized out of thin air, resulting in profits far beyond those initially imagined. This, of course, only happened if great fortune consecutively graced ones life.

But

Hwang Jongis gaze shifted towards Chung Myung, who continued to savor sweets tirelessly.

How did this person come to be?

Such fortune was rarely experienced, even by those who had endured the highs and lows of life. Even if propped up by empty promises and swiftly packed away, questions would inevitably arise.

No matter how opportune it is to continually receive chances

Wasnt it excessive for a single person to possess such an abundance of luck?

Ugh! Why is this so burdensome!

Elder! Where should we place the cold steel?

Just as Hyun Young was about to respond, Chung Myung intervened.

Proceed with sorting the goods.

At that moment.

Knock, knock!

The bottom of a disciples sack tore, causing blue jewels to pop out.

Hwang Jongi was taken aback at this sight.

That-that!

Be careful with those. Theyre valuable.

I-ice crystals

He couldnt believe these fools handled ice crystals as if they were ordinary potatoes

Regardless of Hwang Jongis reaction, Hyun Young asked Chung Myung.

Are you planning to sell the ice crystals as well?

No. I have to use them elsewhere.

Hmm. Yes. Lets proceed.

Hwang Jongi fell silent, forcing himself to turn his gaze away from the shimmering ice crystals. It felt as though his life would ebb as he continued to watch them.

Without warning, the warehouse door burst open!

Elder! Chung Myung!

What?

Grim-faced, Baek Cheon stumbled in.

Elder, your presence is needed. A guest has arrived.

A guest?

Chung Myung cocked his head.

For Mount Hua, a visitor?

Theres nothing to do here; theyve already climbed to the high place.

Come, and you will understand.

Tsk.

Chung Myung grumbled, then walked away.

Eyes met.

A Taoist not dressed as a Taoist encountered a bandit not dressed as a bandit.

that

Among the pair observing each other silently, the bandit in the white robe was the first to break the silence.

so damn good to meet you!

Ahem.

Chung Myung cleared his throat.

I fear that if you delay any longer, we wont be able to keep this friendly. Have you come here in search of something more?

How did you know?

The robed bandit tilted his head at the sound of Chung Myungs voice.

You speak, unlike the person I remember. You promised immediate action upon your return, but who made the rash decision to venture all the way to the North Sea?

It matters little since youve arrived.

Please, I beg you, Taoist!

Chung Myung shook his head, clucking his tongue.

Your audacity astounds me. What courage does a thief possess to show up here?

At the brink of death, I stand while you offer meaningless words! Sincerely, my veins throb with pain, splitting my body. These days, awakening from sleep due to the chill is customary!

A man draped in a sects robe.

Im So-Byeong, the King of the Green Forest, doffed his robe with a grimace of distaste.

This is the first time Ive seen someone defraud bandits! People dont do that anymore!

Fraud! What are you talking about!

the Taoists behind you seem to think so, though. Am I wrong?

Chung Myung cleared his throat subtly, glancing at Baek Cheon and those behind him, then gesturing indoors.

Now that youre here, please, come in.

I need something warm. How can a mountain even be this steep? Oh my this is why people should live on flat lands.

Is that something a bandit would say?

Bandits are humans too!

The disciples of Mount Hua murmured as they watched the two disappear inside amid their arguments.

But Sasuk.

Hmm?

Is it acceptable for a bandit to step into Mount Hua?

Baek Cheon chuckled softly.

Why are you asking about it now?

You have a point there.

Simultaneously, they emitted a profound sigh and shook their heads as they trailed behind them back inside.
