Snatching the Red Pearl

However, those rumors could not be groundless.

Lu Benwei had already made up his mind. His next step was to snatch the red pearls.

After a short rest, the three of them headed to the Red Pearl Trading Center in Jiao City.

‘The red pearl contains a trace of the Red Phoenix’s blood essence. The Red Phoenix divine medicine is inextricably linked to the Red Phoenix. The secret that Liu Qinghe said is 99% true,’ Lu Benwei thought to himself.

The three of them entered the trading center together, and the smell of the market assaulted their faces. All the red pearl merchants along the street were shouting and selling their goods.

Recently, the trading volume of the red pearls skyrocketed, and the trading volume had also risen. The various merchants were also valiant and spirited.

“Fine, 100,000 pounds of red pearls, and you want 200,000 gold coins from me? You really dare to ask for an exorbitant price!”

The three of them strolled around for a while before they ran into a powerful man who had a conflict with the red pearl merchant.

“I remember that the price was still 150,000 gold coins yesterday!”

The merchant was not flustered at all when he was grabbed by the collar. action

“Yesterday was yesterday’s price, but today is different. If you don’t want to buy it, please don’t prevent me from doing my business.”

The customer was so angry that he was panting heavily, but there was nothing he could do.

“Pay up!”

The servant behind him took out a note worth 200,000 gold coins and threw it on the ground.

The merchant was not annoyed by the sight of money and happily led the customer to his own warehouse.

Lu Benwei walked around with the two of them.

The rising trend of the red pearls left people speechless. Almost every hour, the price would rise by 10 percent.

“This is too ridiculous!” Xiong Hu said, flabbergasted.

Liu Qinghe shrugged and said helplessly, “Looks like we reacted too late.”

In the afternoon, the price of the red pearls soared.

Some people saw a business opportunity and began to stock up. The price of the red pearls was three times higher than in the morning.

Fortunately, Lu Benwei and the two of them acted in time and obtained 300,000 pounds of red pearls with 700,000 gold coins.

Adding on the pearls that Lu Benwei had extorted from Zhuo Quan, he now had a total of 200,000 pounds of red pearls.

Xiong Hu rubbed his hands. “It’s making me want to sell the 50,000 kilograms of red pearls in my hands.”

Lu Benwei teased.” Don’t. If you sell it and want to buy it back, it won’t be at that price.”

“Of course, I know. I have a total of 350,000 pounds, including what I’ve accumulated before,” said Liu Qinghe.

“To be honest, it’s not a small amount, but we don’t know how much the other powerhouses have.”

Not long after, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the entire Jiao City.

The heir of the Huqin Empire spent ten million gold coins to purchase six million pounds of red pearls from other places in the Red Pearl Country.

This news caused an uproar among the various powerhouses overnight.

“Damn it, is the Huqin Empire not going to let us play anymore?”

“Is this the strength of the empire?”

“I’ll slip away. In the end, the competition for the Red Phoenix divine medicine will be between those large factions.”

Lu Benwei and the other two were dumbfounded.

The red pearls they had added up were not even a fraction of what the Huqin Empire had.

In the evening, some of the major powers took action again.

The next day, a piece of news came.

The Great Peacock King had stirred up a red pearl vein and obtained four million pounds of red pearls!

The Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan, on the other hand, looted a mine in the Red Pearl Country and obtained seven million pounds of red pearls.

This action incurred the wrath of the Red Pearl Country’s royal family. They declared war on the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan and requested the various heroes to uphold justice.

In the end, the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan’s actions incited the other major powers and factions to start looting within the Red Pearl Country’s borders.

“Damn it, aren’t these people too shameless?”

Xiong Hu cursed and stomped his foot on the ground in anger.

“Why don’t we get involved?” Lu Benwei suggested.

“Isn’t this immoral?” Liu Qinghe was a little nervous, and his conscience could not bear it.

“It’s not the territory of your vicious race. I, a human, don’t think much of it. What are you afraid of?”

“That’s true!”

The three of them discussed and began to move. Soon, a mine was ransacked, and the three of them obtained a total of four million pounds of red pearls.

However, Lu Benwei did not go too far. He left behind goods of equal value as compensation.

After nearly a week, the looting finally stopped.

The Huqin Empire, the Great Peacock King, and the other top forces jointly proposed that no more violent looting of the mines was allowed. Otherwise, they would be punished by the heavens!

“Damn it, I didn’t expect that the Great Peacock King, this thick-browed and big-eyed fellow, would have such a black heart!” Xiong Hu shouted.

Lu Benwei smiled bitterly. “These big forces rely on their strength to rob first. When they think they have robbed enough, they block the road.”

Liu Qinghe was deeply worried. “But the problem now is that the three of us added together only have 20 million pounds of red pearls. We can’t be compared to those big forces.”

“When the Red Phoenix divine medicine descends, I’m afraid it will occupy a disadvantageous position.”

A few days later, Lu Benwei learned that the Red Phoenix divine medicine would soon appear in Phoenix Blood Mountain in the east of Jiao City.

At that time, a secret realm would be formed.

One had to possess a certain number of red pearls to be able to enter Phoenix Blood Mountain.

Of course, this was only the condition to enter Phoenix Blood Mountain.

People guessed that the Red Phoenix divine medicine would automatically recognize the person with the most red pearls as its owner.

Lu Benwei suddenly thought of something and said, “Why do you think the Red Phoenix divine medicine reacts with the red pearl?”

“Needless to say, it’s because of the blood essence of the Red Phoenix contained in the red pearl!” Xiong Hu shrugged.

Suddenly, he was stunned.

Lu Benwei continued, “I feel that it’s more useful to grasp the blood essence of the Red Phoenix than to grasp the red pearl!”

“You’re right!” Xiong Hu shouted.

“Right now, everyone’s attention is on the red pearl, but the Red Phoenix’s Blood Essence is still at its original price. We might be able to turn defeat into victory.”

The three of them immediately went to Jiao City and the other regions to purchase the Red Phoenix’s Blood Essence.

Seven days later, the three of them had purchased a liter of Red Phoenix’s Blood Essence.

One had to know that 10,000 pounds of red pearls could only extract a drop of Red Phoenix’s Blood Essence.

A liter of Red Phoenix’s Blood Essence was equivalent to two hundred million pounds of red pearls.

In addition, the three of them already had red pearls. In one fell swoop, they became the faction with the greatest chance of winning.

At the same time, in the Mi family.

“Zhuang Lang, that damn thing. It ruined the plan we’ve worked so hard for so many years!”

On the throne of the Mi family, the ancestor of the Mi family said slowly. He opened his eyes, and his pupils were terrifying.

A giant, purple-scaled snake was coiled under his throne. Its bell-sized eyes stared ahead, and it kept flicking its scarlet tongue.
