Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 289 0288: Bulk Purchase

Hearing that Cheng Zongyang actually wanted to buy the method of raising exotic animals, the butcher just laughed:
"Kid, if you have nothing to do, just stay away and don't interfere with me cleaning up my stall."

Cheng Zongyang was not annoyed, he just stood aside and continued:

"Since you are unwilling to sell, I can buy your exotic beasts at the market price. As I said before, I will buy as much as I can. If you don't have enough, you can get it from others. I don't care what price you get from others, I will still buy it at the price of two kilograms and five spirit crystals from you."

Seeing Cheng Zongyang's persistence, the butcher put the things on the cart, wiped his hands with a rag, and walked to Cheng Zongyang: "Are you sure you want so much? And blood too?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "It's best to sell it to me alive. No matter how much, we can slaughter it ourselves according to demand. You can also make more money this way, right?"

The butcher chuckled, "Haha, I've seen all kinds of bargaining, but it's rare for you to buy the whole cow. The cows I raise are all unicorns, and each one weighs at least 3,000 jin, which is 75 spirit stones. I still have 634 of them. Are you sure you can buy them? This is a very high price in spirit stones!"

Cheng Zongyang's eyes lit up: "Are you sure you want to sell them all?"

More than 600 heads, enough for Zhang Jinquan to take turns to draw blood to make growth fluid or cultivate more red jade ganoderma. It is completely possible to achieve a continuous blood transfusion.

Seeing Cheng Zongyang's happy look, he thought for a moment and said, "Okay. But you have to pay it now. Also, this is an industry under the protection of Xiaoyao Xianzong, don't try to cause trouble."

Cheng Zongyang shook his head: "We'll pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time, and we'll settle the payment and delivery on the spot. How do you think?"

"Okay. Come with me." The butcher nodded in agreement.

Cheng Zongyang nodded, and after the butcher had packed up his things, he got on his animal-drawn cart and headed out of the city.

On the way, Cheng Zongyang also took the initiative to chat.

He knew that the butcher's name was Zhao Yonglong, but to his surprise, the other party was actually a cultivator who had entered the third level of Qi training through martial arts.

At the same time, he also learned that Zhao Yonglong was not the only one who tamed exotic beasts, and there were others who also did so.

The immortal cultivator sect in Zi'an County has developed a space magic weapon, which is rented or sold to cultivators or forces for growing spiritual rice, planting spiritual vegetables and fruits, and raising exotic beasts and monsters.

Zhao Yonglong is one of the breeders who raises exotic animals. He earns spiritual stones for cultivation by raising and selling the meat of exotic animals.

After he sold the exotic beasts, after deducting various breeding fees on credit from the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect, as well as site protection fees and other expenses, the final surplus was his.

However, he did not ask sensitive business questions such as how much the other party could earn or how much the cost was. Even if he asked, what the other party said might not be true.

But at least from him, Cheng Zongyang learned about the agricultural aspects of the cultivators. He also knew that the other party sold the exotic beast meat in the southern area because it was not easy to sell in the three cultivator areas of the northwest and east.

The meat of exotic animals is most effective for ordinary people and warriors, so the business in the southern area has always been good.

However, the income from raising exotic beasts is not as good as that from raising demon beasts, and the cost of raising demon beasts is also high. It can only be said that everyone has their own choice. At least creatures like exotic beasts are easy for them to control and the cost is not as high as raising demon beasts.

They went all the way to the east of Zi'an County, and finally, under the operation of Zhao Yonglong, they entered a formation.

The next moment, Cheng Zongyang discovered that this was actually an endless plain, not the mountain he had seen before.

This also solved Cheng Zongyang's curiosity about the magic weapon space that Zhao Yonglong mentioned. With so many people raising exotic beasts, one mountain is definitely not enough. If every county has so many people engaged in this kind of agricultural livelihood, the area of ​​the living area is definitely not enough.

But using this ordinary magic weapon space to confine it has another advantage.

"Are you surprised?" Zhao Yonglong laughed at Cheng Zongyang's reaction.

"This is a separate magic weapon space, also created by Xiaoyao Xianzong. As I told you, it is a first-class medium-grade magic weapon space that I rented from the Xianzong. There is only 300 acres of space inside. There is no spiritual energy. I only have 700 exotic beasts and ordinary spiritual herbs to feed them."

Cheng Zongyang asked curiously, "Renting such a magic weapon must be very expensive, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yonglong smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

The magic weapon space is also divided into different levels, so it doesn’t mean you can do anything just by having a magic weapon space.

The first limitation is that it can only be fixed in one place and cannot be carried around. This type of magic weapon space is arranged by Xiaoyao Xianzong, just like building a house, fixed in one place, and then rented to independent cultivators or forces.

Secondly, whether there is spiritual energy inside and the size of the area are also important keys to distinguish the value. The first-level medium-quality is not the lowest, but it is not much better.

Then he took Cheng Zongyang to check those unicorn bulls.

I can't identify them, but I can tell from my experience that they are exotic beasts by feeling their auras. But I guess they should be one-star.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang secretly estimated in his mind.

The cost of renting the magic weapon space, the cost of purchasing the unicorn, the cost of cultivating the spiritual herbs and plants in the space, and the protection fee of the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect.

After all the calculations, Cheng Zongyang estimated that a cow sold for 70 to 80 spirit stones, and at least 70 to 80 percent of it went to the Immortal Sect. The remaining 10 to 20 spirit stones were his own, or even less.

Zhao Yonglong said that it takes about five years to raise these exotic animals. By this calculation, if all 700 exotic animals are raised and sold, it is estimated that ten thousand spiritual stones can be earned in five years. An average of more than two thousand spiritual stones per year.

Now, Cheng Zongyang didn’t know whether he was making a good profit or not.

After all, he didn't know the average income of cultivators, but talking about the average was nonsense.

But the fact that Zhao Yonglong can persist in breeding shows that it is better than ordinary business and more stable.

This means that Zhao Yonglong can only barely earn spirit stones to support his normal cultivation. At the third level of Qi training in his fifties, he can already see the end of the road ahead.

"There are 634 unicorns here, and most of them weigh between and kilograms. If you want all of them, I'll arrange for them to be weighed for you right away."

Zhao Yonglong's voice brought Cheng Zongyang back to his senses.

Cheng Zongyang nodded and said, "Okay, you arrange for the scale to calculate the exact amount, and I will arrange the spirit stones later."

Zhao Yonglong smiled and said, "Okay. You wait."

As he spoke, he slapped his storage bag, and a flying disc-like magical weapon flew out of it. Then, under his control, a one-horned iron bull landed on the flying disc, and then the pointer on the flying disc rotated and pointed to a number.

- 3105.

Cheng Zongyang has seen what this world is like.

"It seems that there is still a lot of research on life-related magical tools in this world." Cheng Zongyang thought to himself.

"You write it down and I'll count the spirit stones." Cheng Zongyang made an excuse.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't charge you an extra pound." Zhao Yonglong said with a smile.

Cheng Zongyang’s mind entered the wilderness world and he immediately asked Luo Dingran to arrange 60,000 spirit stones.

Luo Dingran was also quite surprised when he learned that Cheng Zongyang actually purchased more than 600 one-star exotic beasts. But he also knew that this was a business that could only make money and not lose money, so he immediately agreed.

Because he had exchanged points for spirit stones many times before, he was familiar with the process. He already had a lot of points from selling Red Blood Pills and Wilderness Rice, so he could easily exchange 50,000 points for 60,000 spirit stones.

If the more than 600 exotic beasts obtained in exchange for these 60,000 spirit stones are put to good use, the cultivation of red jade Ganoderma lucidum can be rapidly expanded, thereby producing more red blood pills.

After Zhao Yonglong weighed each unicorn iron bull, he would record the specific weight.

It will take some time to deal with more than 600 heads, and Cheng Zongyang also needs time.

About an hour later, Zhao Yonglong came to Cheng Zongyang with the booklet and said:

"Brother Cheng, they have all been weighed. A total of 1997100 jin, a total of 49927 spirit stones, let's call it 49900 spirit stones. You can weigh them yourself, and these unicorns are all five-year-old adult cows, both male and female. As for the thirty or so calves, I won't give them to you."

Cheng Zongyang stood up and smiled: "I trust you."

As he spoke, he released five boxes and said, "There are a total of 50,000 spirit stones here. I won't take the extra 100 spirit stones, but I want some things."

As he spoke, he opened the five boxes one by one, revealing the crystal clear spirit stones inside.

Zhao Yonglong looked at the five boxes of spiritual stones, his face showing excitement, and asked: "What are they?"

Cheng Zongyang said: "First, I want the seeds of these spiritual herbs. After all, I still need to continue to grow them later."

"That's not a problem. I still have a lot." Zhao Yonglong agreed immediately.

"Okay, secondly, I hope you can tell me the methods and precautions for raising these unicorn bulls. After all, there is no loss for you at all."

After a brief thought, Zhao Yonglong patted his storage bag, took out a booklet, and said, "This is my record of cultivation experience. This is how I was able to raise such a good one. Since you gave me an extra 100 spirit stones, just consider it as the cost of buying the booklet. Is there anything else?"

After Cheng Zongyang took it, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I want to know, what resources are most lacking in Zi'an County?"

Zhao Yonglong looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Zongyang clasped his fists again and said, "To be honest, I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce from another big city. In addition to purchasing supplies, I am also investigating the shortage of supplies in some places so that I can plan my business."

Now, Zhao Yonglong understood.

It was no wonder that Cheng Zongyang would purchase so many exotic beasts. But Zhao Yonglong didn't care whether it was true or not.

He is just a small casual cultivator at the bottom level, raising some exotic beasts to make some money. Now he can quickly sell these adult exotic beasts, which allows him to quickly recover the spirit stones and reduce the sales time. This is the best thing for him.

"I can't give you much help on this point. All I know is what you said about agriculture. But there are many monks working in this industry, and the competition is fierce, so there are many. But if there is something you really lack, I know of one."

"What?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

"Foundation Building Pills." Zhao Yonglong said with a smile, "This is always in short supply. The five major immortal sects release very few each year, so there is always a shortage. Does the Chamber of Commerce behind you have any?"

Cheng Zongyang was speechless.

Foundation Building Pill. He did have this thing, and he could also decompose it or use Zhang Jinquan's innate antidote, but it was useless to restore the formula, as Zhang Jinquan was still unable to refine it.

Those soul slaves can only embark on the path of cultivating immortals by using martial arts to achieve enlightenment, so they are currently unable to refine this kind of immortality elixir.

Although he could buy it from the market hut, he couldn't sell it in bulk.

One foundation-building pill costs 13,000 points, which can be exchanged for about 17,000 to 18,000 spirit stones. But here, it can be sold for 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones, or even higher. The price difference is huge.

Although he could earn the difference in spirit stones by using the Foundation Establishment Pill, if he dared to pay too much, the people of the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect would not turn a blind eye.

If he tracks me down, do I still want to live peacefully as a boatman in Zi'an County?

But it's acceptable to occasionally send out a few of them.

He also didn't understand why a breakthrough now required the Foundation Establishment Pill. Before the Foundation Establishment Pill was invented, were the ancient people unable to break through?
But he didn't care much about this meaningless speculation. In response to Zhao Yonglong's question, he shook his head and said, "Yes, there are, but they are very valuable and cannot be sold casually. If you want them in the future, I can find a way to get you two or three."

Zhao Yonglong was excited when he heard this: "Really? Thank you so much, Brother Cheng! Don't worry, I will definitely look for you if I need you in the future!"

With this path, if he has the opportunity to advance to the final level in the future, it will be an extra opportunity. Afterwards, after calming down, he slowly said: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, I don't know anything else. But you can go to the Xiaoyao Xianzong's office to have a look. There are many tasks and rewards there, which require a variety of resources, a lot of them."

Cheng Zongyang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, fellow Daoist. Then I will take these one-horned iron bulls away. You should also count these spiritual stones."

"Okay!" Zhao Yonglong was not polite and immediately released his spiritual sense.

Cheng Zongyang put the iron bulls into the market hut, and then Luo Dingran moved all the one-horned iron bulls to the fourth floor, the fifth floor, and the first floor for temporary storage.

But this won't last long. After all, the space on the fourth and fifth floors is not large. The teleportation space on the fourth floor was only expanded by 300 square meters for farming experiments.

Therefore, it is not practical to store more than 600 cattle on these three floors.

Therefore, Luo Dingran also called in some soul slaves to assist, and fed all the alien cattle on the fourth and fifth floors with wilderness bean water until they fell asleep, so that he could make arrangements for these restless alien cattle later.

Outside, Zhao Yonglong quickly counted the 50,000 spirit stones. After confirming that everything was correct, he put them all into the storage bag and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he saw Cheng Zongyang quickly taking away the iron bulls, he was shocked but relieved at the same time, and he became more convinced that Cheng Zongyang was a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

"He really is someone from a big business association. He can give this kind of portable space magic weapon that can collect living things to a person looking for business."

As the Iron Ox was taken away by Cheng Zongyang, Zhao Yonglong came to Cheng Zongyang's side, and his tone and attitude became more polite. He asked: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, do you need it in the future?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Yes. I want any spiritual rice, monsters, or exotic animals. But mainly spiritual rice and exotic animal meat. I have a residence in Zi'an County. Although I am often away, I will come back sometimes. If you want to sell me anything, you can go to that place to find me. If I am not there, just leave a letter and put it in the door.

Of course, the future prices will not be based on market prices like they are now. This time I am selling at market prices, which is not profitable. For the Chamber of Commerce, not making money is a loss. Fellow Daoist Zhao should understand what I mean."

Although cultivators can leave messages in the formation, he is not a cultivator and cannot detect the messages with his spiritual sense, so letters are the best.

Zhao Yonglong's eyes flickered, and he had already made some decisions in his mind, so he asked some more questions.

For example, the purchase price of spiritual rice, the purchase price of monster meat, the demand, how often the purchase is made, etc.

Cheng Zongyang also answered them one by one.

He also figured out from the questions Zhao Yonglong asked that the other party was already interested in acting as an intermediary.

But he will push down the price in the future so that he can make more money by trading.

After finishing the discussion and informing the other party of his address, he left the other party's magic weapon space and returned to the county.
