Seeing that Miao Yi was silent, Luo Ping was a little worried that Miao Yi would go back on his word. This transaction was not a small one, so he tried asking, "Brother Miao, if you haven't changed your mind … it will be troublesome to check the wine again. It will be a waste if we have to appraise it again for the sake of the transaction.
Miao Yi could only smile bitterly and nod his head. He had no connections, no connections, and no strength. Otherwise, he would definitely find someone who knew how to negotiate the price.
The strongest person he knew was Yao Ruoxian. He couldn't count on that guy either. Don't expect him to show his face and do this for me. Besides, it was another matter if Yao Ruoxian knew anything about wine. Looking at how the old man Yao drank the precious wine so smoothly, he didn't look like someone who knew wine. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so wasteful.
Luo Ping's face lit up. He immediately worked together with Uncle Hua and Old Dong to write a receipt for Miao Yi, then accepted the ten thousand jars of bejeweled nectar.
Relieved, Luo Ping asked again, "Brother Miao, are you still going to sell that box of Blaze Resins?"
Uncle Hua and Old Dong looked at each other. How much was a box of Blaze Resins worth? The two of them didn't know that they had talked about the rouge crystals earlier.
Miao Yi did some calculations in his mind, then took out the box filled with Blaze Resins. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sell it!"
"Alright!" Luo Ping was overjoyed. He immediately pulled the two old men over to check.
It couldn't be helped. This item was returned to Miao Yi's hands. What if there were less crystals in the box?
It wasn't that Luo Ping didn't trust Miao Yi, but according to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, a transaction had to be confirmed. Moreover, Luo Ping couldn't just say how much it was. He still needed to verify it with the people sent by the Chamber of Commerce, such as Uncle Hua and Old Dong.
Looking at the brightly colored half a box of Blaze Resins, Uncle Hua and Old Dong were speechless. They couldn't help but look at Miao Yi. They couldn't imagine how a mere Mountain Chieftain could get so many good things. Damn it, the bejeweled nectar wine was calculated by tens of thousands of jars. The Blaze Resins were stored in a large box …
The two of them looked at Luo Ping again. Normally, no one would treat a Mountain Chieftain as a big client. They didn't know how this kid managed to pull in such a big deal. It seemed like they were going to earn a lot of commission this time!
It matched the previous amount. Once again, the three of them jointly drafted a receipt for Miao Yi.
Luo Ping once again buried his head in the jade archive and started calculating, "The Blaze Resins are valued at 83,475,000 Gold Crystals, and the spiritual wine is valued at 8,671,110,000 Gold Crystals. The total is 9,505,585,000 Gold Crystals. Brother Miao wants to buy 150 jars of Crystalline Obsidian. Three hundred million Gold Crystals were deducted. Brother Miao, I'll send someone to deliver the 150 urns of Crystalline Obsidian and the remaining 650,585 Gold Crystals to you. "
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. I still want to buy something."
Luo Ping's eyes lit up. Even though it was the same transaction, he would still get a commission from the repeated transactions. He nodded and said, "Brother Miao, feel free to tell me what you need. If the capital city lacks the goods, I will help you get them from all over the country. If the Celestial Nation doesn't have them, I will find a way to get them from outside the country. I will definitely find a way to satisfy your needs in the shortest time possible."
Hearing this. Uncle Hua and Old Dong glanced at him from the corner of their eyes. They were thinking that this brat had earned big this time. They were going to rip him off when they got back.
Miao Yi muttered, "I want to buy some Second Grade Yao Cores."
"No problem." Luo Ping blurted out, "Yao Cores are hard currency. Ten thousand low-grade Orbs of Will for one. You won't lose out if we trade like this."
Miao Yi was aware of the market price. Orbs of Will and Yao Cores were the hardest currency in the cultivation realm.
An ungraded Yao Core was only worth one low-grade Orb of Will. Once it reached the First Grade, it would immediately multiply by a hundred times and be worth a hundred low-grade Orbs of Will. Second Grade would multiply by another hundred times and be worth ten thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. Third Grade would continue to multiply by a hundred times and be worth a million low-grade Orbs of Will. If anyone could get their hands on a Fourth Grade Yao Core, it would be worth up to a hundred million Orbs of Will.
The reason why the price had been doubled was because he had no other choice. After all, a Third Grade Yao Core could only be obtained by killing a Purple Lotus Yao cultivator. A living Purple Lotus realm cultivator would be worth far more than a million low-grade Orbs of Will. That was because they would no longer have the power to be alive after they died. That was the only way to calculate it. It couldn't be counted as the power to be alive after they died. That wouldn't make sense.
Miao Yi said, "Use money to buy them."
He didn't have that many Orbs of Will. Wasn't the reason why he sold so many things to buy these things?
"Use Gold Crystals to buy them!" Luo Ping sighed. Smiling bitterly, he said, "Brother Miao, as you know, a low-grade Orb of Will normally has a market price of a thousand Gold Crystals. A Second Grade Yao Core worth ten thousand low-grade Orbs of Will would have a market price of about ten million Gold Crystals. But now, if you want to buy it, based on the current market price, a Second Grade Yao Core would cost twenty million Gold Crystals! "
That was double the price!
"What?" Miao Yi glared at him and said angrily, "Isn't your Chamber of Commerce a little too greedy?! Double the price! Isn't this daylight robbery? "
"Brother Miao, listen to me." Luo Ping wasn't angry at all. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not purposely trying to lower your price. It's just that the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade is coming soon. Many participants are rushing to buy Yao Cores and the like in preparation to save their lives. It's not just the Celestial Nation. The other five nations participating in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade are also running low on resources. As such, the price will naturally skyrocket. It's still considered cheap for you to buy it now.
Once the name list of all the participants is announced, I'm afraid the price will skyrocket. "He suddenly stopped talking. Luo Ping seemed to have thought of something. He stared at Miao Yi with widened eyes and blurted out," Brother Miao, don't tell me you're also going to participate in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade? "
In that instant, he seemed to understand why Miao Yi was selling his items like a madman.
Uncle Hua and Old Dong looked at Miao Yi thoughtfully.
Miao Yi knew he couldn't hide it any longer since he was exposed. He nodded his head in tacit agreement.
Luo Ping's news wasn't good news to him. From the looks of it, he wasn't the only one who was preparing to go bankrupt for the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. Didn't that mean the competition would be even stronger and more dangerous?
"Brother Miao, it's better if you don't go." Luo Ping advised him kindly. He didn't want to lose a big client either.
Miao Yi scoffed, "Do you think I'm willing to die? My superiors have given the order, and the Hall Master has personally named me. I have no choice but to go. "
Luo Ping silently nodded his head, expressing his understanding. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Before I came here, I checked. Above South Edict Manor is the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall, and above that is Traversing Moon Palace." He turned to Uncle Hua and asked, "Uncle Hua, aren't you familiar with the Palace Lord of Traversing Moon Palace? Why don't you step forward and help Brother Miao avoid this calamity? "
Miao Yi was overjoyed. He immediately looked at Uncle Hua expectantly.
However, Uncle Hua's expression suddenly changed. He angrily said, "Luo Ping, have you had enough of your good days? Do you want to be kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce? Is this something that our Chamber of Commerce can interfere with?"
He then turned to Miao Yi and explained, "Mountain Chieftain Miao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the Chamber of Commerce has never interfered with the various feudal vassals. They maintain their independence. One is a merchant, while the other is a military force. The Chamber of Commerce does not involve itself in matters of war. Otherwise, if a powerful military force and a huge financial power were to come together, it would be a very sensitive matter. Hence, the two sides have never interfered. Forgive me for being powerless in this matter. Don't listen to this brat Luo Ping's nonsense."
As he finished speaking, he glared at Luo Ping and secretly reprimanded him, "Do you really like getting involved in such matters?"
Luo Ping had an awkward expression. He knew that Uncle Hua was right, but he also knew that it wasn't a big deal to help a Mountain Chieftain by greeting him. It was just that Uncle Hua didn't think he was related to Miao Yi, so there was no need for him to get involved in unnecessary trouble. If it were him, Uncle Hua would definitely help him.
Miao Yi could only return to the topic at hand. "Brother Miao, I definitely don't have the intention to lower your price. This is the current market price."
Miao Yi glanced at Uncle Hua, but didn't beg him again. They weren't familiar with each other at all. Since Uncle Hua had already made it sound so serious, Miao Yi knew that begging would be useless. He nodded and said, "I appreciate Brother Luo's good intentions. Let's go according to the market price then."
Luo Ping nodded repeatedly. "How many Second Grade Yao Cores do you want?"
Miao Yi took the jade archive and calculated. He still had more than six hundred and fifty million Gold Crystals, and he still had more than thirty million Gold Crystals in cash. It would be enough to keep a few million Gold Crystals by his side, so he could round it up to six hundred and eighty million.
After making up his mind, he said, "Give me thirty-three Second Grade Yao Cores and one hundred First Grade Yao Cores."
As he said this, his heart was bleeding. Normally, he could buy twice as much. But now, it meant that his assets had shrunk by half. Anyone would feel terrible about it.
It was another big transaction. Luo Ping's spirits lifted. He quickly took the jade archive and calculated, "Based on the current market price, one Second Grade Yao Core is twenty million Gold Crystals. Thirty-three of them would be six hundred and sixty million Gold Crystals. One First Grade Yao Core is two hundred thousand Gold Crystals. One hundred of them would be twenty million Gold Crystals. That's a total of six hundred and eighty million Gold Crystals … Brother Miao, compared to the balance you have here, it's still about thirty million Gold Crystals short. What do you think?"
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I will make up for the difference in cash."
"There's one more thing I need to clarify with Brother Miao. Yin Cores and Inner Cores have the same effects as Yao Cores. Their prices are the same as well. If there's any shortfall, I will use those two to make up for it. What do you think, Brother Miao?" When Luo Ping said this, he noticed that Miao Yi was a little surprised. He immediately added, "Like I said before, Yao Cores of this grade are in high demand. I'm just worried that it might not be enough. Of course, if Brother Miao insists on having Yao Cores, we will definitely think of a way to gather them. "
This wasn't a big deal. Yao cultivators had Yao Cores inside their bodies; Ghost cultivators had Yin Cores inside their bodies. The reason why Devil Cultivators were called Devil Cultivators was because they cultivated the so-called deviant cultivation techniques. They were beyond the scope of ordinary human cultivators. Just like Demonic Ghosts, they could also form Cores inside their bodies. They were viewed as a different species. This was the reason why they were viewed as devils. Hence, Devil Cultivators also had Inner Cores inside their bodies.
Killing a Ghost cultivator would give them a Yin Core. Killing a Yao cultivator would give them a Yao Core. Killing a Devil Cultivator would give them an Inner Core. And if an ordinary cultivator fell into the hands of the first three, they could use demonic arts to condense the ordinary cultivator's cultivation into an Inner Core, then kill them and take it.
Human cultivators were used to using Yao Cores because when they activated their transcendent artifacts, it was easier for them to accept the fact that they were in their demonic form.
