"Greetings, Brother Yun Tao."
Chu Kuangren smiled. Master Daoist Yun Tao and the other elders frowned when they heard how he addressed Chu Kuangren. The other elders were even more displeased with Chu Kuangren now.
That was because Chu Kuangren was only a Sage.
Master Daoist Yun Tao, on the other hand, was a Sage Ruler.
Even if Chu Kuangren lived for a few hundred more years, he would only be a fraction of Master Daoist Yun Tao's age.
How could they talk to each other as peers?!
How dare Chu Kuangren?
"Hmph, how dare you address me as a fellow Daoist? How rude."
One of the elders could not help but scoff.
Chu Kuangren glanced at him. "What's wrong? Brother Yun Tao is the leader of Ethereal Rapture, and I'm the Black Heaven Sect's leader. Is there anything wrong with me addressing him as a fellow Daoist? Do you think that the Black Heaven Sect is inferior to Ethereal Rapture?! "
He could tell that these people did not like him anyway. Naturally, he would not try to please them. Since they were already displeased, he did not mind making them hate him even more.
"You, you …"
The elder was speechless when he heard what Chu Kuangren said.
He could not find any words to refute Chu Kuangren's words.
"How rude!"
The elder could not find any words to refute Chu Kuangren.
Master Daoist Yun Tao said, "Third Elder, please don't be rude in front of our esteemed guest. Brother Chu is right. We both lead the same orthodoxy, so it's not wrong for us to talk to each other as peers."
He automatically changed the way he addressed Junior Chu to Brother Chu. Since he had said so, the other elders could not say anything even if they had any opinions.
"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. The main reason I came to Ethereal Rapture this time is to exchange for the Celestial Chalcedony. What do you think, Brother Yun Tao?" Chu Kuangren went straight to the point.
"It's not difficult to get the Celestial Chalcedony, but what do you want to exchange with us, Brother Chu?" Master Daoist Yun Tao asked.
"Two hundred million Top-tier soulstones and a kilogram of Top-tier Celestial Chalcedony!"
Chu Kuangren casually stated his terms.
Before he came, Chu Kuangren had done some research. According to the market price, a kilogram of Top-tier Celestial Chalcedony was worth a hundred thousand Top-tier soulstones.
The price he offered was already twice the market price.
"Heh, Daoist Chu, do you think that Ethereal Rapture is lacking in spirit stones?" Daoist Yun Tao smiled faintly.
"What does Ethereal Rapture want?"
"Your Monarch Art …"
Before Master Daoist Yun Tao could finish his sentence, Chu Kuangren had already turned around and left.
Daoist Yun Tao did not expect the other party to make such a move and was momentarily stunned. It was only when the other party reached the door that he spoke up to stop him. "Well, Daoist Chu, please wait a moment. We're doing business after all. We can talk later."
"Business is all about sincerity. However, I don't see any sincerity from the Ethereal Rapture. You want to exchange five hundred kilograms of Holy Chalcedony for an Emperor Art? This is the biggest joke in the world. "
How precious was an Emperor Technique?
Apart from the Unknown Lands, all the Sage Orthodoxies in the outside world might not even have a complete Monarch Art.
Such a technique was a priceless treasure!
Not to mention a thousand catties of Celestial Crystal Chalcedony, even ten thousand catties or a hundred thousand catties would not be enough!
"Heh, I was just joking. Fellow Chu, please don't be angry." Master Daoist Yun Tao laughed. This was an opportunity to extort Chu Kuangren, so how could he let it go so easily?
Of course, he also knew that asking for an Emperor Art was too much.
However, even if they did not want an Emperor Art, they did not lack anything else.
"How about this, one billion Top-tier soulstones?"
After much deliberation, Master Daoist Yun Tao decided to ask for soulstones. After all, soulstones were the currency of Firmament Star. No matter how much they had, it would not be a burden.
Ethereal Rapture did not lack anything else either.
The few things that Chu Kuangren had on him that they could not afford to exchange for a few kilograms of Holy Chalcedony, and Chu Kuangren would not do it either.
"One billion Top-tier soulstones and five hundred kilograms of Top-tier Celestial Chalcedony. Master Daoist Yun Tao, you sure have a good plan. Do you really think the Black Heaven Sect's soulstones come from nowhere?" Chu Kuangren snorted coldly.
The price was ten times higher than the market price!
That was daylight robbery!
"Brother Chu, this is the best we can do. If you don't want to trade, you may leave. However, it's not easy to find such Celestial Chalcedony in Firmament Star," Master Daoist Yun Tao said calmly.
A rare commodity worth hoarding.
That was Master Daoist Yun Tao's confidence.
Chu Kuangren gritted his teeth and cursed the old man in his heart.
However, the Celestial Chalcedony was very important to him as it was an important material for the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation. He could not afford to lose it.
It was not impossible for him to trade for it with an Emperor Technique.
Chu Kuangren's departure earlier was just a show. Master Daoist Yun Tao had greatly underestimated the importance of the Celestial Chalcedony to him.
"Fine, one billion it is!"
Chu Kuangren gritted his teeth and pretended to be angry.
Using one billion soulstones was still better than exchanging an Emperor Technique. He could always look for a few orthodoxies in the future if he had the chance.
"Heh, alright then. I'll get someone to get it for you."
Master Daoist Yun Tao said.
A moment later, a disciple came to report. "Sect Leader, we only have less than a hundred kilograms of Top-tier Celestial Chalcedony left."
Chu Kuangren's expression turned cold when he heard that. His eyes flashed and the Descendant Self Sword at his waist could not help but tremble.
A terrifying Sword-based Daoist Rhyme filled the surroundings!
Some of the elders were speechless.
The disciple who came to report had cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He looked at the handsome Chu Kuangren with fear in his eyes.
"Is Ethereal Rapture messing with me?"
Chu Kuangren sneered.
"Brother Chu, please calm down."
Master Daoist Yun Tao quickly said before he looked at the disciple and asked, "Why are there less than a hundred kilograms of Top-tier Celestial Chalcedony left?"
The disciple trembled and said, "Sect Leader, the Daoists have been cultivating diligently recently, so the Celestial Chalcedony has been used up quite quickly."
The Unknown Lands appeared one after another, and they were about to completely emerge into the world.
To prepare themselves, the disciples of the orthodoxies were also working hard in their cultivation. As an important strategic resource of Ethereal Rapture, the Celestial Chalcedony was used by every disciple, so it was used up very quickly.
"I see."
Master Daoist Yun Tao said in realization. He then looked at Chu Kuangren and apologized, "Brother Chu, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to happen."
Chu Kuangren only stared at him coldly.
It was as if he was saying, 'Keep acting, keep acting.'
'As the leader of Ethereal Rapture, how could you not know about these things?'
It was obvious that Chu Kuangren was putting on a show for him.
Chu Kuangren wanted to see how Master Daoist Yun Tao was going to clean up this mess. Since he could not get his hands on the goods, he had to get those billion soulstones back no matter what.
Master Daoist Yun Tao did not want to start a war with him over this.
"How about this? Although the Celestial Chalcedony in our storage is gone, there's a chalcedony mineral vein in Ethereal Rapture. There's a large amount of unmined Celestial Chalcedony there, let alone Top-tier ones. As an apology, Brother Chu, feel free to take a few kilograms of raw stones."
"No matter what kind of Celestial Chalcedony you find, it'll all belong to you. What do you think?" Master Daoist Yun Tao smiled.
Chu Kuangren's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
Raw stones?
'Sounds … good!'
