The Cape family also knew that their grudge with Zhou Wen ran deep, so they planned on buying the Heavenly Robes at a high price.
Zhou Wen came to the meeting room and met the person from the Cape family who had come to negotiate.
That person's name was Wood. He wasn't a direct descendant of the Cape family. According to An Sheng, Wood's ancestor was the Cape family's steward. Later on, he slowly became a member of the Cape family.
"Mr. Zhou, you're really young and promising. I've long wanted to meet you. Today, my wish has finally been fulfilled." When Wood saw Zhou Wen and An Sheng stand up, he immediately stood up and walked over to shake Zhou Wen's hand.
"Mr. Wood, you're too polite. Let's get down to business." Zhou Wen shook Wood's hand before walking to the main seat and sitting down.
An Sheng and another officer sat on either side of Zhou Wen.
"Alright, I'll be direct. Mr. Zhou, can you name a price for your Heavenly Robes? It's also good for us to know if we have the capital to buy the Heavenly Robes. If we do, we can have a good discussion. If we don't have the capital, there's no need for us to waste time. Don't you think so? "Wood said.
"A thousand tons of Essence Crystals. That's my bottom line. Not a gram less." Before Zhou Wen came, he had already discussed it with An Sheng.
He originally imagined that Wood and the other representatives would bargain. After all, a thousand tons of Essence Crystals was too much. Even Zhou Wen felt that it was impossible to sell it at that price.
However, to his surprise, Wood didn't bargain. He agreed immediately, "Sure, we're willing to use a thousand tons of Essence Crystals to exchange for the Heavenly Robes."
"That's good. When will the deal be made?" Zhou Wen and An Sheng exchanged looks, feeling that this matter definitely wasn't that simple.
Indeed, Wood said, "But that's how it is. Mr. Zhou, Adjutant An, you should know that a thousand tons of Essence Crystals is just too huge. Ignoring our Cape family, even if the six families join forces, it's still unknown if we can gather so many Essence Crystals."
"Then what did you mean by 'sure'? Are you messing with me? "Zhou Wen deliberately said with a sullen expression.
"How would I dare to mess with you, Mr. Zhou? We do have a thousand tons of Essence Crystals. We are also willing to use a thousand tons of Essence Crystals to buy the Heavenly Robes. However, you need to dig them yourself," Wood said.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"It's like this. We really can't take out a thousand tons of Origin Crystals, but we do have a good Origin Crystal mine. Moreover, the Origin Crystal reserves will definitely not be less than a thousand tons. It might even be two or three thousand tons …" Wood's voice was very provocative.
"You mean to say that you want to trade the Primordial Crystal Mine for my Heavenly Robe? Do you think we have the ability to dig for Primordial Crystal ores in the West District? "Zhou Wen frowned.
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry. The Primordial Crystal mine I mentioned isn't in the West District. It's in the East District. However, apart from our Cape family, no one knows the location of the Primordial Crystal mine. However, we've already explored the area, and there are definitely more than a thousand tons of Yuan crystal deposits there. If you don't believe me, you can bring professionals to explore the Primordial Crystal Mine during the transaction. After confirming the reserves of the Primordial Crystal Mine, you can give it to us, "Wood said.
"Mr. Wood, that's not what we said previously. We've always been talking about spot transactions," An Sheng said.
"Of course, if we have a thousand tons of Primordial Crystals, we will definitely want to buy the Heavenly Robe. But in fact, the Primordial Crystals we can produce now are only about eight hundred tons. We really can't afford such a huge amount. If possible, we can use money or Companion Beasts to repay the debt, "Wood said sincerely.
"How about this? We didn't know about your suggestion before. We need to have another meeting to study it. How about we continue discussing it tomorrow?" An Sheng said.
"Of course. We sincerely hope that we can complete this transaction." Wood and company left the meeting room.
"The Cape family sure is scheming. They want to use the Primordial Crystal Mine in the East District to exchange for the Heavenly Robe. This is equivalent to them making a deal without any capital. They definitely can't mine the mine on a large scale. Over time, it will definitely be discovered by others. Sooner or later, it won't belong to them," An Sheng said with a cold snort after they left.
"Do you mean we shouldn't trade?" Zhou Wen said to An Sheng.
"No, if you agree, Young Master Wen, it's best we continue the transaction. Although the mine is in our East District, we don't know where it is. We can't guarantee that our people will discover it first in the future. Therefore, if we can exchange it, we have to get it back. However, before that, we have to ensure that the mine can be mined safely and that it can be transported back safely, "An Sheng gave a straightforward answer.
Zhou Wen understood what An Sheng meant. Most of the Primordial Crystal mines were in dimensional zones. If the dimensional zone was too dangerous, humans wouldn't be able to stay there for long. No matter how many Primordial Crystals they had, it would be useless.
Also, if the Primordial Crystal mine was too far from Luoyang and in an area that Luoyang couldn't take care of, it would be easy for others to snatch it away even if it was mined.
"In that case, I'll leave the negotiation to you." Zhou Wen didn't wish to waste time on such matters. He still had many things to do.
Now that he had advanced to the Terror grade, he needed a plan to advance to the Calamity grade.
His stats definitely had to be raised first. However, if he only raised his stats, even if he reached the limits of the Terror grade, he definitely wouldn't be able to advance to the Calamity grade.
Zhou Wen had previously seen a few advancements to the Calamity grade. Tsukuyomi had relied on the power of a dimensional zone to advance to the Calamity grade. When she advanced to the Calamity grade, the dimensional zone almost collapsed due to excessive expenditure.
Also, Jiang Yan's Heaven Immortal and Burial Immortal had advanced to the Calamity grade with the help of the power of a Perfect Sword Immortal.
When it came to Zhou Wen's Soul Reflection Mirror, he could clearly sense that a powerful energy had been injected into it, allowing it to advance to the Calamity level.
Zhou Wen concluded that advancing to the Calamity grade required a massive amount of energy. Furthermore, this energy wasn't ordinary Essence Energy. No matter how much Essence Energy one had, it was impossible for them to advance to the Calamity grade.
Now, Zhou Wen hoped that a Calamity grade would appear in a dimensional zone. When the time came, he could observe how dimensional creatures used the power of dimensional zones to advance to the Calamity grade.
Zhou Wen vaguely felt that he might be able to learn from their methods and use the power of dimensional zones to advance to the Calamity grade.
Dimensional zone … Calamity domain … No matter how I think about it, there's a connection between the two … Perhaps dimensional zones are the key to my advancement to the Calamity grade … Zhou Wen thought to himself, but as he hadn't heard of any Calamities recently, he didn't have the chance to observe them even if he wanted to.
In the next few days, An Sheng kept negotiating with Wood and company, but Wood and company weren't willing to give in on some key issues. The negotiations didn't make any progress.
Finally, Wood raised a condition. He wanted Zhou Wen to barge into the Venus dimensional zone again without using any other Companion Beasts. He could only use the Heavenly Robe. If Zhou Wen could clear it, they were willing to give in.
