"Alright."
Although Ah Mang was reluctant to part with his financial backer, he felt a chill when he thought of his words. He knew very well the outcome of smuggling Spirit Lightning Fruits. He was only a Martial Grandmaster, so he would definitely die if he got involved in such a matter.
Li Yunxiao said, "Are all the Spirit Lightning Fruits in the city plucked by the Divine Wood family? Are these Rootless Evergreens formed by nature or planted by humans? "
Ah Mang said, "The Divine Wood family has specialized personnel to pluck them. As the lightning field in the Rootless Evergreens is too strong, it is very dangerous for ordinary warriors to stay in there. Other than specialized lightning armor, they also need a golden hammer to knock down the Spirit Lightning Fruits."
"Golden hammer?"
Li Yunxiao seemed to have understood something. "Metal can subdue wood. This way, the fruit trees won't be damaged."
Ah Mang praised, "Milord is indeed intelligent! If we were to pluck them forcefully, not only would it expend a lot of energy, it would also easily damage the trees. A long time ago, there was no Seawood Town. It was an island that suddenly floated over from the sea. After slowly evolving, it was directly connected to the mainland. Back then, although there were Rootless Evergreens, there weren't many. Later on, the Divine Wood family intentionally planted them, resulting in their current scale. "
Li Yunxiao said in surprise, "They floated over from the North Sea?" He thought for a while and said with a chuckle, "The Divine Wood family is truly capable. They can actually nurture natural treasures, and even evolve them to such a scale of a million."
"Of course! The Divine Wood family is now one of the three major factions of Skyfix City! "
Ah Mang said with a look of yearning, "When I become a Four Symbols Martial Lord, I will apply for a job at the Divine Wood family and strive to get a good job."
Li Yunxiao chuckled without saying a word.
The boat quickly crossed into the water from the land, but it maintained its speed. Soon, after making a few turns, it stopped in front of a rather large shop.
As Seawood Town was immersed in seawater all year round, most of the buildings used a dark red stone and a silver wood. They looked like they were wrapped in red makeup. There was an exquisite red flower on the signboard of the shop. It was the name of the merchant association.
Although there was a waterway in front of the shop, it was like a broad road. Many warriors walked on the water, chatting and laughing. It was no different from walking on land.
"Milord, we have arrived. This is one of the two largest merchant associations in Seawood Town. "
Amang invited Li Yunxiao out, and the two of them stepped on the water and entered the shop.
There was some kind of array inlaid on the door of the Chamber of Commerce, which directly isolated the seawater and prevented it from overflowing into the store.
As soon as the two of them entered, Amang shouted, "Shopkeeper Qian, come out!" He swaggered around the shop with an air of arrogance.
Li Yunxiao looked around. It was no different from an ordinary Chamber of Commerce. However, after Amang shouted, everyone's eyes focused on him.
With an awkward expression, he coughed a few times, indicating that he should not be so ostentatious.
"Hey, it's Ah Mang. What are you doing?"
One of the workers revealed an unhappy expression. He looked at Li Yunxiao and immediately understood, "Sir, are you here to buy the Spirit Thunder Fruit?"
Amang hurriedly said, "Of course! This Lord is the customer I found. He has a huge deal, so I asked Manager Qian to come out and receive the customer! "
Li Yunxiao's face darkened. Buying forty fruits was considered a huge deal? Seeing the gazes on him, he immediately blushed and said, "I'm just buying a few Spirit Thunder Fruits. There's no need for Manager Qian to come out."
The worker glared at Amang and shouted, "You only know how to cause trouble!"
Amang panicked and hurriedly said, "I'm causing trouble? This Lord is a big customer, and he wants to buy forty supreme-grade Spirit Thunder Fruits! "
"What?!"
The waiter was startled. His eyes lit up and he said, "Forty? Supreme-Grade fruits? May I ask where the Lord's jade pendant is? "
Li Yunxiao handed over the jade pendant. He noticed that many people around him were surprised. After all, the limit of forty fruits represented the person's strength.
Among the many gazes, a man and a woman caught Li Yunxiao's attention.
The man's face was like jade, but he had the body of a tiger and the arms of an ape. The woman, on the other hand, had thin shoulders and a slender waist. She was tall and had an oval face. Both of them had the cultivation of Emperor Wu, and they were also sizing him up with a smile.
Two low-level Emperor Wu didn't mean much to him, but there was something strange about them. Li Yunxiao frowned, as if he had thought of something.
"I knew it! Lord, you can buy forty fruits, but are you sure you want all of them? They're not cheap. "
The worker respectfully handed over the jade pendant, his demeanor humble.
Amang's arrogance grew, and he shouted with his hands on his hips, "You idiot, do you think this Lord has no money? Go get Manager Qian, your rank is not high enough! "
The worker glared at Amang and smiled apologetically, "Please come in, Lord. Please wait in the VIP room, I will go get Manager Qian."
Li Yunxiao wanted to stop him, but seeing the unnatural stares from the crowd, he agreed.
As soon as he entered the VIP room, he heard all kinds of whispers from outside.
"Forty? Could that person be a high-level Martial Venerable? Why does he look so young? "
"Tsk, he's just a high-level Martial Venerable. I even saw Jiutian Emperor Wu come to buy Spirit Thunder Fruits yesterday. "
"Yes, the situation this year is indeed very special. The production is too high, but the price has not dropped."
"Drop? Why drop? With the ruckus this year, Seawood Town won't be able to produce many fruits for at least ten years. The way I see it, the price has to increase. "
"Hehe, you're the only one with brains. It's a pity that the quantity is limited, or else we could stock up more. Only the Divine Wood Family can stock up now. "
As the crowd discussed, Li Yunxiao noticed that the man and woman quickly left the shop. "Those two are not demons, and they have extremely powerful bloodlines. Could they be …"
Just as he was deep in thought, the door was pushed open, and the worker from before walked in with a middle-aged man.
Li Yunxiao scanned the man with his Spiritual Sense. The middle-aged man was also a peak Martial Monarch. This Safflower Merchant Association was probably not simple.
When Ah Mang saw the middle-aged man, his arrogance immediately vanished. He quickly said, "This is Manager Qian, one of the five managers of the Safflower Merchant Association."
Manager Qian glanced at Li Yunxiao and was secretly astonished. He was startled by Li Yunxiao's young age. He quickly asked, "Sir, are you requesting to purchase forty Peak Grade Spirit Thunder Fruits?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "It's just forty fruits. Is there a need to be so cautious?"
Manager Qian smiled as well. He immediately instructed for tea to be served. Then, he sat opposite Li Yunxiao and said, "This should be Sir's first time in Seawood Town. If these forty fruits were only Superior Grade, it would be very easy to obtain them. However, Peak Grade Spirit Thunder Fruits are scarce, and the price … "
Li Yunxiao said, "How much is one Peak Grade Spirit Thunder Fruit? How much are the other grades? "
Manager Qian smiled and said, "Ha ha! A damaged fruit costs ten thousand Medial Grade Essence Stones. A defective fruit costs a hundred thousand Medial Grade Essence Stones each. A Superior Grade Spirit Thunder Fruit costs two million Medial Grade Essence Stones each. As for the Peak Grade Spirit Thunder Fruit, it costs at least five million Medial Grade Essence Stones each. Furthermore, you will have to wait in line. If Sir is in a hurry, you will have to pay an additional twenty percent for cutting in line. "
Li Yunxiao's expression changed. He said sullenly, "That is to say, if I want a Spirit Thunder Fruit now, I will have to pay six million Medial Grade Essence Stones each? Are you trying to rob me of my Essence Stones?! "
Ah Mang repeatedly signaled to Li Yunxiao with his eyes. Clearly, this price was too high and not worth it. Ah Mang directly said, "We are not in a hurry. Let's wait a while longer."
Manager Qian glanced at Ah Mang and smiled calmly. "No matter how long we wait, the price will not be lower than this. Although the situation this year is different, with a large number of fruits ripening, this corresponds to the next ten years or even longer of supply. As for the Spirit Thunder Fruit, if it is properly preserved, there will not be any loss of Spiritual Qi for ten years. "
This was something Li Yunxiao understood as well. Although natural treasures were extremely rare, the moment they were formed, the Spiritual Qi within them was extremely stable. Even without any preservation measures, the loss of Spiritual Qi would be extremely slow.
His heart stirred as he asked, "Manager Qian, do you know why all the fruits suddenly ripened at the same time?"
Manager Qian said with a smile, "That is indeed a mystery. The Divine Wood family has already sent people to investigate, but there does not seem to be any results. Even if there are results, it is probably not something people of our level can know. "
Li Yunxiao knew that what he said was true, so there was nothing else to ask. He said, "Give me forty Peak Grade Fruits now."
The few of them were alarmed. Manager Qian was also taken aback. He did not expect Qin Yun to be so straightforward. He asked uncertainly, "Sir, are you really buying forty Peak Grade Fruits? And you want them in stock? That's a twenty percent markup. "He was afraid that Li Yunxiao did not know what was going on, so he mentioned it again.
Amang was also trying his best to signal him with his eyes.
Li Yunxiao said with a chuckle, "That's right." He threw out a storage bag and said, "There's a total of 240 million mid-grade Primordial Stones. Take a look."
Manager Qian jumped in fright as he hurriedly picked up the storage bag with trembling hands. After scanning it several times with his Divine Perception, he dared to confirm it. He exhaled heavily and said, "It's indeed 240 million! Sir, please wait a moment. I'll transfer the goods for you. "
"Transfer goods?" Li Yunxiao said in surprise, "Such a large store doesn't even have forty Peak Grade Fruits?"
Manager Qian said with a wry smile, "Sir, you must be joking. These are Peak Grade Fruits. Just you alone are worth hundreds of millions. How would the store dare to store so many? There are quite a number of other grades of Peak Grade Fruits, but there are only ten Peak Grade Fruits. I'll give them to you now. I'll only need an hour to transfer the remaining thirty. "
He immediately ordered the servants to take good care of them and went to transfer the goods himself.
A few beautiful maidservants came in and changed all the tea that was previously served. Immediately, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
Li Yunxiao said with a smile, "This Manager Qian is really practical. He even changed the tea to the best."
He took a sip and immediately felt refreshed. He called out to Amang to taste it together with him.
Amang said with a wry smile, "This is the highest grade Red Pearl Tea. A pot is worth at least a thousand Primordial Stones. Sir, why aren't you willing to wait a little longer? "
He felt sorry for Li Yunxiao and had a complicated expression on his face.
