Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 294 0293: Chamber of Commerce Procurement

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Zongyang was in his personal space study on the third floor of the market hut, looking at the contents written on seven or eight simulated blackboards, and he was still very excited.

He spent several hours comprehensively analyzing the functional updates of the Ringwraiths, and linked these functions with his own ideas to form this new and huge development plan.

If successful, both he and the Ringwraiths would gain extremely high and rapid benefits and growth.

But all of this requires a huge amount of points, silver, and gold, and the development of the fairy city must be stable.

"It won't be long!"

Cheng Zongyang looked at the contents of the Pan Da plan formed on these blackboards. Although it was not yet completely detailed, it could be slowly subdivided and various rules could be formulated during the process.

After leaving the personal space, Cheng Zongyang found Luo Dingran and handed him the updated copy of the booklet. He then called up the interface and looked at his points, then said:
"Please prepare a list of materials that can earn points for me later. It's only for the martial arts world. I need to look at it later. It's almost time to go back to Yufeng Immortal City. Also, I still have a lot of points now. I can exchange them for two foundation-building pills for later use."

"Yes, sir." Luo Dingran bowed in response.

Cheng Zongyang left the market hut and returned to the outside world.

Looking at the furnishings in the study, Cheng Zongyang began to ponder.

He has to go back to Yufeng Fairy City, but this time he goes back, and next time he comes, he will arrange for someone to stay here to help him purchase supplies.

This person must not only have the ability to get things done, but also have the strength.

To him, whether it was the martial arts world or the ice and fire world of immortal cultivation, they all served to strengthen Yufeng Immortal City for him. He had no intention of developing any power in the ice and fire world of immortal cultivation at all.

Even in Yufeng Fairy City, apart from the intelligence department, he had no intention of expanding his influence outside.

His idea was to use the resources of both places for his own benefit, and it was not necessary to expand his influence.

"This candidate..." Cheng Zongyang pondered, from his brothers to his elders.

But he ruled out the idea of ​​asking his elders to come. It was fine for them to communicate with ordinary people, but they might not have enough experience to work with the warriors and immortal cultivators here. As for his brothers, it was obviously not possible either.

Finally, he thought of several suitable candidates.

The first is Zhang Chuqi, the second is Li Yihe, and the third is Li Xuejin.

The ability of these three people to do things is beyond doubt. Among these three people, only Li Xuejin's personality is a little unpredictable. What if he comes here and leaves alone?

He also thought of Li Lu, but although this man could not be called brave and resourceful, he was not really brave and resourceless. He had different focuses, so it was okay to let him stay in Xiancheng and continue to be in charge of the gang's affairs.

Zhang Chuqi is calm and experienced in his work, and is good at domestic affairs, but he is not as good as Li Yihe in business.

As for Li Yihe, his ability in business is unquestionable. Now he is responsible for the business of Cheng family in Xiancheng and Tianduan Gang.

If he is allowed to come here, there must be someone in Xiancheng who can take over his job to avoid any accidents.

But none of these three people is powerful.

Although Zi'an County is safe, it is not absolutely safe. Once these people are targeted by the immortal cultivators, they will have no power to fight back, and their death will be in vain.

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly, temporarily suppressing his messy thoughts and waiting to deal with them after returning.

After opening the formation and walking out of the room, he happened to see Yu Wenlin and three others reading in the pavilion.

At this time, the three of them were each holding a book and reading it with great interest. There was also some tea on the table.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang walked over. Yu Wenlin and the other two were so absorbed in watching that they didn't even notice Cheng Zongyang's footsteps. It wasn't until Cheng Zongyang walked to the pavilion that Shentu Li first noticed him coming.

"Master Cheng." Shentu Li immediately put down the book, stood up with a smile and clasped his fists to greet him.

At this time, Yu Wenlin and Ji Lin came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream, and stood up to greet them.

"You are welcome, seniors." Cheng Zongyang naturally would not put on airs, and returned the greeting with a smile, then asked, "What are you three looking at? Why are you so fascinated?"

Yu Wenlin smiled bitterly: "The cultivation method that the three of us bought is worth two or three hundred spirit stones, but the content is quite profound. For a moment, we were all immersed in it and forgot everything around us."

After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang showed an interested expression. He walked closer to the table and looked at the cover of Yu Wenlin's book, on which was written [Gui Yuan Jue].

When Cheng Zongyang saw the name of this martial arts method, he immediately had an impression of it in his mind.

He bought a book from a vendor at the West District Market, which was worth 230 Spiritual Stones. It was a complete set of Qi training techniques.

"The three seniors must be so focused on this, so the content must be difficult to understand. However, the path of cultivating immortals is difficult, and the skills you bought are the originals, not translations, so it is reasonable that you find them profound. I heard that there is a casual cultivator hall in the west area, where many casual cultivators often go to discuss skills. You can enter by paying a few spirit stones, or you can spend spirit stones to ask someone to explain the meaning. If you three really don't understand something, you can go and take a look."

Yu Wenlin bowed his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Young Master. Some parts of this technique are indeed puzzling. For example, the path and method of spiritual energy circulation are completely different from martial arts techniques, but there seem to be multiple explanations. We didn't know who to ask for advice and exchange ideas with each other. I never thought that this place really existed."

Ji Lin also interjected, "That's right. If we discuss some experiences together, we may be able to find a cultivation method that is more suitable for us. Otherwise, it will be really difficult for us to get started."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "For this kind of thing, the three of you can only explore and communicate on your own. By the way, I should be back in a few days. Is there anything you three need me to tell you?"

After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and shook their heads. Yu Wenlin said, "The reason why the three of us delayed for a month to arrive at the Immortal City was to deal with various follow-up matters. We have nothing to worry about anymore."

"That's right." Ji Lin and Shentu Li also nodded.

They have already explained this to their families and friends in the Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need to ask for more information.

"Okay, then I will leave first and not disturb the three seniors from comprehending the skills." Cheng Zongyang clasped his fists.

The other three also saluted.

Lending business is business, but they are still grateful to Cheng Zongyang. At least he gave them a place to live and they don’t have to worry about various things.

After leaving the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Zongyang went to the Chamber of Commerce in the West District to find out the prices for purchasing ice essence and fire essence in bulk.

The Chamber of Commerce purchases from independent cultivators or civilians, and although there is some price pressure, the Chamber of Commerce purchases for the purpose of selling.

If he purchased in bulk, even at the market price, he could still make a profit by reselling them in the market hut.

As for the spiritual rice, he gave it to Zhao Yonglong, and also asked him to inquire about the price of the blood of the exotic beast. It is estimated that there should be a result today.

If I can successfully finish the things at hand today, I can go back directly.

It is not uncommon for warriors to go to the West District to buy items for cultivators, but they are relatively rare. When Cheng Zongyang, a warrior, entered the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, several probing divine senses immediately fell on Cheng Zongyang.

Although Cheng Zongyang had no spiritual consciousness, he could still see that several people were looking at him. He didn't care and went to a counter.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Behind the counter was a pretty woman. She could see that Cheng Zongyang was not a cultivator, so her attitude was not as respectful, but she treated him normally.

"What is the price for buying large quantities of ice and fire essences from your Chamber of Commerce?"

The woman was a little surprised when she heard this, but she immediately asked, "How much exactly?"

After a brief thought, Cheng Zongyang said, "No less than 50,000 spirit stones."

He originally wanted to say that it was no less than 100,000 spirit stones, but he decided to be a little conservative so as not to shock the other party too much.

The woman was indeed surprised when she heard this. This was already over ten thousand pieces of material. She immediately bowed slightly to Cheng Zongyang, and said in a polite tone:
"If you need this amount, we can give you the price of three low-grade spirit stones."

Cheng Zongyang frowned and said, "This price is the same as that of the vendors outside the market. There is no advantage at all."

The woman smiled and explained, "In our Chamber of Commerce, Ice Essence and Fire Essence are usually sold at the price of 3.5 Spirit Stones. The quantity you need just meets the bulk selling price of our Chamber of Commerce, so we offer this price. Besides, if you are outside, those vendors will not be able to meet your one-time purchase volume, right?"

Cheng Zongyang laughed and responded, "Then you go find someone who can make the decision, so that we don't waste time haggling over prices. Or you can just take me to the manager of your Chamber of Commerce who can negotiate prices and make the decision."

At this point, the woman was slightly stunned, then she still maintained a professional smile on her face and said:
"My dear guest, please don't be anxious. I don't have the authority to adjust the price, but I can ask our manager first. Please wait a moment, I will be back soon."

After saying that, the woman turned and left in a hurry, leaving Cheng Zongyang waiting there.

After a while, the woman came back and said to Cheng Zongyang, "Sir, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly and followed the woman to the back.

At this time, many people in the Chamber of Commerce Hall also looked at Cheng Zongyang. More spiritual consciousness than before also fell on Cheng Zongyang.

Suddenly, many cultivators became curious.

How could a warrior be treated like this by the Chamber of Commerce?
Cheng Zongyang could naturally feel that many people around him were paying attention to him, but he didn't care.

He dares to purchase in this way without worrying about being targeted.

Soon, following the woman to a place similar to a reception room in the backyard, I saw a middle-aged man with a calm face and wearing an exquisite robe.

"Manager, the person is here." The woman bowed to the middle-aged man.

"Well, tea."

"Yes." The woman agreed, then gestured to Cheng Zongyang to go in.

In the spacious room, the man stood up and said to Cheng Zongyang with a smile: "I don't know what to call this guest. I am the manager here, Baili Xi. I heard that you have some ideas about the price of our goods. We can sit down and have a good talk."

Cheng Zongyang was not polite either, and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much. I am Luo Dingran."

Cheng Zongyang sat upright on the chair. With no outsiders present, he did not hide anything. His expression was calm and firm, and he spoke first:

"Manager Baili, the price of ice and fire essence in your chamber of commerce is indeed negotiable. The quantity I purchased this time is not small. In other chambers of commerce, for such a large quantity, more favorable prices are often given. I came here because my friend told me that the price of Qinglong Chamber of Commerce is fair. If I were to pay according to the three spirit stones on the market, then there would be no sincerity."

Bailixi smiled slightly and responded slowly:

"Fellow Daoist Luo, the bulk price of three low-grade spirit stones offered by our Chamber of Commerce is already quite favorable. After all, our ice essence and fire essence are guaranteed, without any damage, and are basically the same size. In this regard, other Chambers of Commerce may not be able to compare with us."

Cheng Zongyang shook his head and said, "I understand, but I'm not going to end the cooperation just once. I need long-term purchases. There should be some flexibility in the price. I can promise that if the price is right, there will be more cooperation orders in the future. And no more, no less."

"How much exactly is needed this time?" Baili Xi asked.

"It depends on the price you offer. If the discount is better, the quantity will be larger, otherwise it will be smaller." Cheng Zongyang did not respond directly.

Now, Baili Xi stared at Cheng Zongyang, as if he wanted to see through Cheng Zongyang.

He was sure that the other party was a warrior, but it was obviously impossible for a warrior to purchase in this way. That meant that the other party was purchasing for someone else.

Either it is a chamber of commerce or a force of immortal cultivation.

"Could there be any changes in the Fire Region and the Ice Region? So some forces knew about it in advance, purchased in bulk in advance, and accumulated treasures to drive up prices?"

Baili Xi had no choice but to make such speculations.

Although ice essence and fire essence are widely used, few people purchase this material in large quantities.

Bailixi frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, how about this? I can give up some of the profits and reduce the price of each piece by another 20 Spirit Crystals. This is the biggest concession I can make."

Cheng Zongyang thought about it and felt that although this price was not the most ideal, it was a certain progress. So he responded: "Manager, I can accept this price first, but I hope that in the subsequent cooperation, if my purchase volume continues to increase, the price can be further discounted."

Bailixi chuckled: "Of course. As long as Fellow Daoist Luo continues to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce, the price will definitely be adjusted based on the actual situation."

He didn't make a final statement. He would make adjustments based on actual conditions. If the market price changes, he would naturally raise the price.

"Okay, according to this price, that would be 36,000 pills. Manager Baili, would that be equivalent to 100,000 spirit stones?" Cheng Zongyang said with a smile.

The discount was 20 Spirit Crystals, so the 36,000 pieces saved 7,200 Spirit Stones. He was already very satisfied. But he would continue to lower the price if he purchased more in the future.

If he suppresses it, it means he will earn more.

At this point, Baili Xi was stunned.

Before, I had only heard of a transaction amount of no less than 50,000 spirit stones, but the other party actually reported a transaction amount of 100,000 spirit stones.

"Okay!!" This time, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but get excited.

One hundred thousand spirit stones is already a huge transaction amount. Reporting it is also a reflection of one's business ability!

But what I have in mind is more about the speculation about the market changes of ice spirit and fire spirit.

He stood up and said politely to Cheng Zongyang: "Then please rest here for a while, I will ask someone to prepare it immediately."

"Okay." Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly.
