Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 312 0311: Procurement Docking

Time passed quietly and three days passed in a flash.

Zhao Yonglong, who has always been cautious, quietly came to Cheng's house in the middle of the night.

Cheng Zongyang, who was practicing, keenly heard the movements outside the formation, and Zhao Yonglong's voice was clearly audible. Only he could detect such movements.

"Why are you here so late?" Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhao Yonglong, who looked nervous and cautious, and was full of confusion.

"Let's go in and talk." Zhao Yonglong quickly glanced in the direction of the alley entrance, and then hurried in. Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang immediately closed the door and activated the protective formation and the soundproof formation at the same time.

"Sir." At this time, Ma Yue, Li Cungang and others were also awakened by the noise and walked out of their rooms one after another.

"It's okay, Li Yihe, come here." Cheng Zongyang shouted to Li Yihe upstairs.

"Yes, sir!" Li Yihe responded quickly, quickly put on his clothes and ran downstairs.

"What happened?" In the study, Li Yihe made a cup of spiritual tea for Cheng Zongyang and Zhao Yonglong. Zhao Yonglong ignored Li Yihe, but took out a storage bag and put it on the table, and said slowly:
"I sold four foundation-building pills in the west, north and east of the city, and exchanged them for 230,000 spirit stones. However, I was targeted afterwards. I speculated that the target should be someone sent by a cultivation force in the east district. Fellow Daoist Cheng, I can't stay here any longer, otherwise I will be found by that family sooner or later. There are 25,000 spirit stones in this storage bag, please count them."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang was not in a hurry to check the spirit stone, but asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Yonglong responded, "I'm afraid I can't stay here any longer. Sooner or later, I'll be caught by that family. I want to try my luck in Licheng and see if I can explore the Xuanyuan Secret Realm. With these spirit stones I exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the last Foundation Establishment Pill, maybe I still have hope of achieving the Foundation Establishment in this lifetime."

Cheng Zongyang was helpless. He had originally planned to let Li Yihe contact Zhao Yonglong to take charge of future cooperation matters. He never expected this to happen.

But after thinking about it carefully, this situation is reasonable. After all, he and Zhao Yonglong both used extremely precious foundation-building pills, not ordinary pills, so it is normal for them to be targeted.

It can only be said that money can move people's hearts. For Cheng Zongyang himself, the profit difference of the foundation-building pill is huge, which is far more cost-effective than exchanging points for spirit stones. For Zhao Yonglong, the foundation-building pill is also hard currency, and the profit difference is also very high. Therefore, being targeted is also a result they had expected.

"In that case, I won't try to keep you here. Take care on your way. If you fail to break through in the future, I still have foundation-building pills here." Cheng Zongyang said with a smile.

"Okay. Thank you, Brother Cheng! I'm grateful!" Zhao Yonglong clasped his fists in thanks from the bottom of his heart.

After Zhao Yonglong left, Cheng Zongyang sighed slightly.

"Sir, is this the partner you mentioned before?" Li Yihe, who had been silent all the time, asked at this moment, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Cheng Zongyang reached out and took the storage bag on the table, nodded slightly, and said: "Now it seems that I have to find someone else to be in charge of the connection. What have you gained during this period of time?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Yihe with some expectation in his eyes, hoping that Li Yihe could bring some valuable information.

Li Yihe heard this, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and said: "Sir, after observing for some time, I found that there are many business opportunities in Zi'an County. If we transport the materials here to there, we will definitely make a lot of profit.

In addition, the martial arts world also has things that the immortal world lacks, and the most valuable of these should be some metal minerals. I have heard that the prices of ordinary metal objects in the immortal world are relatively high. After asking, I found out that this is because the production of common metal minerals such as iron and copper is not high..."

Li Yihe began to talk about the products that he had found out could be traded.

As mentioned earlier, metal minerals such as gold and silver are produced in large quantities in the world of immortal cultivation. However, gold and silver are relatively soft in texture, and cannot be fused with other minerals to be made into hard objects, so their utilization rate is not high. This is the largest purchasing point for gold and silver.

It can be said that when Li Yihe talked about these things, his heart was full of longing for the future, as if he had already seen the wealth rolling in.

Exchanging low-value metal minerals for gold, silver, spiritual stones and spiritual crystals is the biggest profit difference!
Cheng Zongyang smiled and asked, "Of course I know the business opportunities here. Have you visited the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce? How do you feel about it?"

His tone was calm, but his eyes revealed his concern for the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce. As for the gold and silver, he already knew about it, but in this world, although gold and silver have uses, they are not many, and they are not currency, so almost no one needs them.

This also proves what he said at the beginning, that gold and silver are only currencies that are in demand and given value. The demand means it has value. Once it is no longer needed or there is a substitute, it is worthless.

If he purchased in large quantities, it would probably attract other people's attention, so he didn't pay attention to it before. The Chamber of Commerce also didn't have any gold or silver products.

Li Yihe thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, do you want to change the target of the connection to Qinglong Chamber of Commerce?"

He felt a little uneasy, not sure whether his guess was correct.

Cheng Zongyang asked back without comment: "Do you think it's feasible?"

His eyes were so deep that it was hard to tell what he was really thinking.

Li Yihe analyzed seriously, "Judging from the situation of that person just now, it is common to be targeted once major trading materials are involved. The foundation-building pill must be extremely valuable. If we cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that we will not be able to take out this kind of pill for normal exchange, otherwise the probability of something going wrong is very high."

He clearly had a clear understanding of the potential risks.

Cheng Zongyang nodded in agreement: "That's true. We don't have many spirit stones, and we still have to supply them to the Cheng's Chamber of Commerce."

Li Yihe smiled and said, "Sir, isn't it my purpose to earn spirit stones for the Immortal City?"

His smile was full of confidence and determination, as if no difficulties could stop him.

Cheng Zongyang paused, then smiled and said, "That's right. This is a universal storage bag."

As he spoke, he threw the storage bag in his hand to Li Yihe, and then said: "There are 25,000 spirit stones in it. We are not immortal cultivators, so we can only take things out, but we can't put things in."

Li Yihe took the storage bag, and a sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He knew that these spirit stones were important capital for their next move.

But Cheng Zongyang added: "Don't worry about the spirit stones. I will leave you a large amount of spirit stones for you to use later. Zongwen should have told you what the Cheng Chamber of Commerce needs, right?"

Li Yihe heard this and nodded: "I said it."

"Then I will tell you about our origins here." Cheng Zongyang said seriously: "We come from..."

Cheng Zongyang carefully explained the prepared background information to Li Yihe, and then improved it. If he wanted to prevent the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce from having any bad intentions, it was inevitable to use some trickery. But whether he could fool them or not depended on whether the other party wanted long-term or short-term benefits. At the same time, doing so would also put Li Yihe and others in danger.

In the following days, Li Yihe began to actively contact Baili Xi, the manager of Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, under the introduction of Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang plans to entrust him with the purchase of ice essence and fire essence, the purchase of spiritual rice, the materials for drawing talismans, such as talisman pens and talisman paper; the basic materials for alchemy, such as the alchemy cauldron, alchemy fire talismans, and other comprehensive purchases.

Li Yihe also used various channels to gain a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce's business scope, credibility, and cooperation methods, so that he could have a general impression in his mind and not be completely ignorant.

Therefore, during the initial negotiations with Baili Xi, the manager of Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, Li Yihe demonstrated his professionalism and business acumen.

He elaborated in detail the resources they needed and future cooperation, and also put forward some reasonable suggestions for cooperation.

Baili Xi showed great interest in Li Yihe's proposal. Of course, he was more interested in who was the force behind "Luo Dingran".

Bailixi thought that if he could establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with them, it would be an opportunity for him. Apart from anything else, the share of the spiritual stones would be much larger.

Of course, what he was more concerned about was whether there were any more Foundation Establishment Pills!
Li Yihe patiently listened to Bailixi's opinions and answered them one by one. He also promised to adjust the price reasonably according to market conditions to ensure the interests of both parties. After many rounds of negotiations and consultations on each product, Li Yihe finally reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Qinglong Chamber of Commerce.

In the future, each transaction of spiritual rice will be no less than 83 jin, sold at the price of 5 spiritual crystals; 2.5 pieces of ice essence and fire essence will be sold at the price of spiritual stones each.

Various materials for making talismans, finished talismans, materials for alchemy, seeds of spiritual medicines and spiritual trees, spiritual fertilizers, second-hand magic weapon space, super-large/small spirit gathering arrays, etc.

Apart from other things, this spiritual fertilizer can cultivate spiritual soil, similar to the principle of composting to make nutrient soil. This is the material that Cheng Zongyang tried to purchase this time, and in the future he can try to transform the ordinary land outside the fairy city.

Magical weapon spaces belong to the immortal sect, but many damaged ones will be purchased by such large chambers of commerce, and sold as second-hand after repair. Although the price is not as high as that of the immortal sect, the space after repair is smaller and the life span is shortened, but there is still a market. Cheng Zongyang heard about it once before, so he planned to purchase a few this time to try.

As for the super-large spirit gathering formation, it is a special formation that covers the entire fairy city area. It has only one function - to gather external spiritual energy to the fairy city area covered by the territory formation.

But the gathered spiritual energy will only stay in the area between the territory array and the fairy city. It will not be absorbed by the fairy city, and there is a five-element array in the fairy city, so the spiritual energy will not be sucked out by the gathering array.

In other words, this spirit gathering formation will only work on the area between the territory formation and the outside of the fairy city.

Although there is not much spiritual energy in the martial arts world and the spiritual energy is extremely thin, by gathering little by little, and with the possibility of the existence of underground spiritual energy, some spiritual energy can still be gathered after years of accumulation.

Of course, the main purpose is to prevent the spiritual energy from escaping when the spiritual soil is transformed in the future. In the future, when the land is transformed with spiritual waste, the spiritual energy will inevitably escape. But with the spiritual gathering array, the escape will not flow out of the array. It will still circulate inside.

It can be said that the amount of this transaction is simply astonishing for Bailixi!
Finally, he quietly approached Cheng Zongyang and asked in a low voice: "Is this the same as last time?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang calmly asked, "Do you want it?"

Baili Xi laughed, with a gleam of desire in his eyes: "This kind of good thing, the only regret is that there is not enough, how can there be too much?"

"Manager Baili, why don't you first calculate how much these are worth in spirit stones?" Cheng Zongyang asked instead of answering.

Bailixi glanced at Cheng Zongyang, wondering if he would agree to his request. However, looking at the many valuable items in front of him, he thought that the main medicine for refining the foundation-building pill was extremely rare. He estimated that even if the other party had foundation-building pills, they would not have too many. After all, the foundation-building pills were expensive. Otherwise, they would not be so precious.

Bailixi immediately started to calculate. As the prices of items on the paper were calculated one by one, Bailixi became more and more excited.

Every time he calculated a price, he seemed to see the hope of improving his strength. This meant that he would get more spirit stone commissions, and the family could buy more resources for cultivation.

About a quarter of an hour later, looking at the densely packed purchase list and prices on the paper, Bailixi tried to calm down his excitement and said slowly: "It's settled, Fellow Daoist Luo, according to the agreed price, the total is 1025680 spirit stones."

Upon hearing this result, Cheng Zongyang suddenly asked, "Is the foundation-building pill recipe for sale? What's the price?"

"What, what?" Baili Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard that, his face full of disbelief.

Cheng Zongyang repeated the question again.

After making sure that he had heard correctly, Bailixi explained with a wry smile: "This foundation-building pill recipe is for sale, but how many people can refine it? The most important thing is that the main ingredient of the foundation-building pill is a thousand-year-old elixir. Nowadays, apart from the five major immortal sects and some immortal cultivation families with a long heritage, only the Xuanyuan Secret Realm can have it. That's why the foundation-building pill is so precious."

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang realized that the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe he got from Tang Feng seemed to be worthless.

"Then give me some seeds of the medicinal materials for the foundation-building pill, do you have any?"

Bailixi frowned slightly, thinking secretly in his heart, but did not ask more. Although he could grow it himself, the main medicine that takes a thousand years to grow can only be grown by the immortal sect and the big immortal family.

"Okay." Bailixi responded.

"Are you sure you want the Foundation Establishment Pill?" Cheng Zongyang suddenly asked.

Bailixi suddenly looked at Cheng Zongyang, his heart beating rapidly involuntarily. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Does this mean a full exchange?

Does he really have so many Foundation Establishment Pills?

What kind of power is this? Do they really think that foundation-building pills are the same as sugar beans?

But he quickly suppressed the shock and confusion in his heart and tried to keep his tone calm: "All?"

Cheng Zongyang understood what he meant, but he took out a piece of animal skin scroll, placed it in front of the other party, and said slowly: "We can talk, but for safety, you have to sign this confidentiality agreement."

Bailixi was full of doubts, and took the animal skin scroll and read it carefully. There was not much content, only seven or eight clauses, all of which stated that the source of the foundation-building pill could not be disclosed, and that no one could be sent to investigate and track, and other restrictions and confidentiality clauses.

Bailixi was both shocked and confused at this moment. What shocked him was that the other party really wanted to use the foundation-building pill to offset it! How powerful was the force behind this?
What is puzzling is, what does the price of breach of contract, “returning the soul to the wilderness”, mean?
At this time, Cheng Zongyang spoke again: "Manager Baili, if you don't leak it to the outside world, the contents of this animal skin scroll will be useless. Or, who do you want to tell it to?"
