Qin Hai's actions were very fast.

Within a few days of receiving the news, he had prepared everything and said he wanted to come and visit Tang Tian.

Both his words and actions conveyed his eagerness.

Tang Tian didn't delay either and sent back a positive message.

That afternoon, Qin Hai arrived at the Purple Bamboo Courtyard with a well-dressed young man.

"Tang Shao, this is the person I told you about."

"Qiyun Chamber of Commerce's high-ranking member, Qibin Qidaren."

Qin Hai introduced.

Qibin lived up to his name, appearing polite and courteous as he cupped his hands and smiled, "I have long heard of Tang Gongzi's name."

"Today, seeing you in person, you truly live up to your reputation."

Tang Tian politely responded and then invited them into the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

After they sat down, Qibin looked around and said, "Tang Gongzi, do you know the Bamboo Forest Daoist?"

Tang Tian was slightly taken aback, "Is he the one who built this Purple Bamboo Forest and Purple Bamboo Courtyard?"

Qibin nodded, "Yes."

"There was a time when I had a chance encounter with him."

"He was a very kind old man, but unfortunately, the outcome was not so beautiful."

He sighed.

Tang Tian fell silent.

The Bamboo Forest Daoist had already passed away a hundred years ago.

In other words, the seemingly young Qibin in front of him was actually over a hundred years old.

In the cultivation world, this was quite normal. For example, people like Lu Changge and Mo Xiaoxiao, although they were called young masters and young ladies, they were not considered young in terms of age.

But these were not relevant to him.

"Let's get back to the point."

Tang Tian said, "How much did you bring this time?"

Qibin smiled faintly, "Although this is our first meeting and our first transaction, Qin Hai highly regards Tang Gongzi's financial resources, so I didn't bring much this time."

"Gongzi, please have a look."

After saying that, he took out three storage rings and placed them in front of Tang Tian.

Tang Tian immediately began to examine them.

In the first storage ring were various common cultivation resources, with high levels and quality, surpassing many immortal-grade items.

In the second storage ring were a pile of resources and facilities specifically used to assist in cultivation.

For example, battle puppets, sword formations, illusion formations, etc., which could effectively enhance combat abilities.

These things usually had a high price.

As for the last storage ring, it was filled with various types of technique jade.

Qin Hai really did as he said, collecting many different techniques, ranging from the lowest Mortal Grade to the highest Immortal Grade. Roughly estimating, there were nearly tens of thousands of them!

Although many of them were relatively obscure and niche techniques that ordinary cultivators rarely considered, Tang Tian wasn't picky.

No matter what kind of technique, the more the better.

The prices for the three storage rings were also listed.

Added together, it was a total of 170 trillion spirit jade!

Tang Tian furrowed his brows slightly.

During the recent inspection meeting, he had earned several billion consumption points, but they had all been used to upgrade the Gluttonous Secret Art's realm.

Now, there wasn't much left.

Adding these items today, he was still short of one billion consumption points to exchange for both the Saint-level talent and the Saint-level physique.

How did these guys calculate so accurately?

Seeing Tang Tian's furrowed brows, Qin Hai immediately became nervous.

Qibin, on the other hand, chuckled softly, "I did bring quite a lot of things, mainly because I wasn't sure about Tang Gongzi's preferences."

"Tang Gongzi can choose some that you like from them."

"It is my fortune to be able to trade with Gongzi."

He spoke with tact, clearly trying to avoid embarrassing Tang Tian.

However, the reality was different.

"Choose?"

Tang Tian was speechless, "What is there to choose from? There's only this much."

"I'll take it all."

"Let's settle the transaction now."

After saying that, he began to take out money from his pocket.

Qibin was stunned.

He was also a well-known figure with a reputation. In the past hundred years, he had seen countless wealthy young masters. But he had never seen someone like Tang Tian!

He just glanced at it casually and started taking out money, as if he was afraid that the person selling the items would change their mind.

Brother, this is 170 trillion!

Not 170!

As he watched Tang Tian take out a pile of Innate Dao Jade, Qibin's eye twitched, and he didn't know what to say anymore.

Meanwhile, Qin Hai, who was beside him, let out a long sigh, completely relieved.

Soon, Tang Tian laid out dozens of Innate Dao Jade and said, "I have a strange way of spending money."

"Let's trade a portion of it first, and we'll settle the rest later."

There was only this much in the system space, and there was no more.

Qibin nodded coldly, "Everything will be according to Gongzi's wishes."

"By the way, are you really not going to take a closer look?"

"Many of those cultivation techniques are actually quite obscure."

After saying that, Qi Bin immediately cursed himself in his heart.

What is he doing?

Is he not used to such smooth transactions?

Is he being cheap?

However, Tang Tian's reaction once again exceeded his expectations.

"So you mean that the more obscure the cultivation technique, the more valuable it is, and I have to pay extra?"

"No problem, how much are we talking about?"

Tang Tian rubbed his chin and said.

Qi Bin opened his mouth, then covered his forehead with his hand. "No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

"What I meant was..."

"Forget it, I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to make a gesture. Let's stick to the originally agreed price."

Tang Tian was speechless. After saying so much, what did he mean?

But regardless of what he meant, after several transactions, Tang Tian acquired all the resources.

At this point, the Innate Dao Jade in his system had already surpassed two hundred.

And the number of consumption points had reached over 17 billion.

The Saint-grade talent was already in his hands.

The remaining 70 billion or so would be used for comprehending cultivation techniques, hoping to make progress in the Way of Myriad Laws.

But that's a story for later.

With the successful completion of the transaction, the expressions of the few people relaxed considerably.

Especially Qin Hai, who looked as if he had escaped some disaster, causing Tang Tian to look at him several times.

"Young Master Tang's financial power truly impresses me."

"Even the young master of the Du Clan, Guizong, has never completed such a huge transaction all at once."

Qi Bin said with a smile.

Tang Tian's heart moved and he asked, "Do you often cooperate with Du Yuanqing?"

Qi Bin nodded, "Young Master Du and our Tengyun Chamber of Commerce have reached a long-term agreement."

"His resource demands from the Guizong will be prioritized through our chamber of commerce."

"And at certain critical moments, we will also choose to support him, perhaps even vote for him."

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow, "Vote?"

Qi Bin smiled, "The Qingyue Gate and other affiliated sects under the Yunding Tianfu have similar structures."

"We have supported some honorary disciples in other sects before, helping them ascend to that position."

Tang Tian suddenly realized.

Previously, Yun Kong had told him that there were three factors to consider in order to ascend to the position of the second-in-command.

Accomplishments, internal influence within the sect, and external influence outside the sect.

The Tengyun Chamber of Commerce should be considered as an external influence.

And according to what Qi Bin said, they even had voting rights.

But with Du Yuanqing's strength, did he also want to compete for that position?

Of course, this possibility couldn't be ruled out.

In that case, was Du Yuanqing deliberately testing him because of this?

Worried that he would pose a threat?

Tang Tian shook his head. He didn't want to get involved in that matter, but no matter what, no one could stop him from spending.

"Let's talk about the next transaction."

"I hope you can bring more resources."

Tang Tian said.

Qi Bin was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Young Master Tang, to be honest with you."

"The resources allocated to each region by the chamber of commerce are actually limited."

"This transaction just now has taken away half of our inventory. No matter what, the next transaction cannot exceed this quantity."

Tang Tian was astonished.

Did he just buy out their entire chamber of commerce?

It seemed that a trillion was already the limit in this region, and it wouldn't be as easy to break through as before.

This was not good news.

Tang Tian frowned.

Seeing that Tang Tian seemed somewhat displeased, Qi Bin quickly said, "If you really need it, there is actually another way."

Tang Tian asked, "What way?"

Qi Bin said, "A few months later, the Tengyun Chamber of Commerce will redistribute some of the current equity."

"If you can obtain enough equity, you can allocate resources on your own."

"And... I guess Young Master Du will also make a move during this time. If he can obtain some equity, his chances of winning the vote will be even more secure."

Tang Tian thought for a moment and asked, "How do I obtain this equity?"

Qi Bin said, "Generally speaking, the most direct way is to purchase it."

"But the amount will definitely not be small."

"To achieve your goal, I estimate that you... will need to prepare at least a trillion."

After saying that, even he wiped away a sweat.

A trillion, truly astronomical.

However, Tang Tian smiled.

"It sounds quite interesting."

"I'll consider it carefully."
