Hu YinWen and Lu HaiKong spent nearly an hour in the tent before the latter emerged, accompanied by Dian Wei. They ventured out, heading to Hu YinWen's tent, where they remained for almost two hours. Only then did Lu HaiKong and Dian Wei depart, carrying several items.
The day after leaving Hu YinWen's tent, Lu HaiKong set off with two hundred horses and the five hundred Han people previously rescued from the Xianbei nobles. They began their journey back to the mountain fort, leaving behind the thirty thousand wealth they had brought.
Lu HaiKong, known for his dedication to any path he chose, had no intention of allowing the mountain fort to fall into a state of being robbed. Hu YinWen, understanding this, offered a substantial price for the thirty thousand wealth needed for the tribe's winter provisions.
While Hu YinWen didn't provide an equivalent sum of money, he offered treasures of equal value.
Hu YinWen's generosity was evident as he led Lu HaiKong back to his tent, revealing the treasures he had inherited from the Hu Yin tribe. Lu HaiKong was free to choose from this collection.
There were restrictions, though. For each item Lu HaiKong selected, both parties had to estimate its value. If the total value of Lu HaiKong's chosen items exceeded thirty thousand, he would have to stop.
It must be said that the Hu Yin tribe truly possessed a century-old heritage, and this was evident to Lu HaiKong as Hu YinWen presented the treasures under his care.
Native non-player characters couldn't access data, whether for artifacts or equipment. However, they could sense the mysterious power within these items, though they might not always know how to utilize them.
Lu HaiKong, on the other hand, had a distinct advantage due to his scouting skills and the system's data. He could discern the specific effects of most of the items Hu YinWen presented, allowing him to potentially find hidden gems.
In reality, the value of the treasures Lu HaiKong acquired from Hu YinWen far exceeded thirty thousand, and Hu YinWen was well aware of this.
Lu HaiKong obtained only five items from Hu YinWen, all of which were artifacts or equipment.
The first, which immediately caught Lu HaiKong's eye, was a set of plans inscribed on animal skin using a special ink made from beast blood.
As soon as Lu HaiKong held these plans, he felt a primitive, ancient aura emanating from them. Surprisingly, they were written in Han characters, seemingly architectural blueprints. Although Lu HaiKong wasn't an architect and couldn't understand them, he didn't need to, as the system provided a detailed description.
Savage Wolf Altar Construction Plans
Item Category: Construction Artifact
Construction Requirements: 300 units of Wolf Blood, 300 units of Wolf Hide, and 300 units of Wolf Bone.
Additionally, 5,000 units of Wood and 3,000 units of Stone are required.
One Journeyman Carpenter and one Journeyman Mason.
Savage Wolf Altar Effect: A level 1 Savage Wolf Altar can convert 10 Savage Wolf Sentinels per month.
This set of construction plans was clearly for a special unit's training, with extremely complex and troublesome building requirements. However, after examining the Savage Wolf Sentinel's attributes, Lu HaiKong was impressed by its visible strength value of 50.
The Savage Wolf Sentinel's power was undoubtedly formidable, but training them and building the Savage Wolf Altar was no easy task. Under the same conditions, the resources required to train a single Sentinel could train four to five Han Dynasty soldiers. Nonetheless, Lu HaiKong decided to acquire the training methods for this special unit, regardless of the challenges.
Lu HaiKong and Hu YinWen haggled over the price, eventually settling on 50,000 gold coins. Whether this price was reasonable or not is a matter of personal opinion.
In addition to the Savage Wolf Altar plans, Lu HaiKong also obtained a set of ranch construction plans, which were crucial for his planned livestock industry.
Furthermore, Lu HaiKong acquired a set of ten wolf-shaped sculptures, each containing a simplified version of the Savage Wolf Body Training Fist, with each sculpture capable of being used over a thousand times. It was evident that Lu HaiKong had prepared these for his soldiers and as a step towards training Savage Wolf Sentinels.
The most important items were the last two. During Lu HaiKong's selection process, Hu YinWen seemed to realize that Lu HaiKong had a keen eye for valuable items. To prevent Lu HaiKong from taking everything, Hu YinWen quickly offered something he knew was valuable and highly tempting to Lu HaiKong—a gold mine.
The gold mine was located in Qiangyin County, deep within the county, close to the county town. While the Hu Yin Tribe could occasionally raid the area without issue, attempting to occupy it would invite the Han Dynasty's wrath.
Despite his doubts, Lu HaiKong couldn't completely trust Hu YinWen. Even if he was deceived, there was little he could do, as the tribe would likely relocate, and Lu HaiKong had no intention of traveling far to confront them.
However, Lu HaiKong eventually agreed to a deal worth 200,000 gold coins. The reason was simple: while he didn't trust Hu YinWen, he had faith in the system's integrity.
On the map provided by Hu YinWen, the system confirmed the location of a small gold mine. With the system's assurance, Lu HaiKong felt confident in the transaction without fear of deception.
The final item in the trade between Lu HaiKong and Hu YinWen was 1,000 horses. In the Han lands, these horses would be worth several hundred thousand gold coins, but the Hu Yin Tribe's prices were lower, with each horse valued at only a few dozen gold coins. This highlighted the tenfold profit potential in horse trading between the plains and the outside world. If Lu HaiKong could establish border trade, his rise to power was imminent...
