After leaving the mountain, Lu Ye appeared much more at ease. He arrived at the Greencloud Market at the foot of the mountain with ease, then went to the Tianji Business Alliance with ease.
Before the maid at the door could ask, Lu Ye spat out a word, "Sell!"
He sat in a room and drank the Tianji Business Alliance's spirit tea as usual. Unfortunately, he only drank a pot this time when someone walked in.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Fellow Daoist!"
A middle-aged man walked in and bowed to Lu Ye. "I'm Liu Quan. Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
Lu Ye nodded. Liu Quan sat down and went straight to the point. "What do you want to sell, Fellow Daoist?"
Lu Ye took out a few pieces of ore that he had prepared before. Of course, the magnetic ore was the largest. The spirit stones that he sold those ores last time were mostly due to the magnetic ore's value.
The magnetic ore he took out this time was slightly larger, so it might be more expensive.
Liu Quan checked them one by one and gave a price for each ore. During this time, Lu Ye didn't speak and just drank his tea.
Finally, he put down the magnetic ore and said, "This item is rare in the outer circle. It can be priced at 38 spirit stones, so the total price is 51 spirit stones. If Fellow Daoist thinks it's fine, we can trade."
"Can't it be higher?" Lu Ye looked at him.
Liu Quan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "It can't be higher. These things need to be refined and extracted by professionals before they become useful items. If it's higher, the Business Alliance won't have any profit margin."
This guy was harder to deal with than Liu Ruyin! Lu Ye cursed in his heart. Last time, when he bargained with Liu Ruyin, she immediately increased the price by four spirit stones. Although she was a woman, she was much more straightforward than this Liu Quan.
However, he didn't know that Liu Ruyin was willing to increase the price because there was an unwritten rule. At the same time, Liu Ruyin wanted to do another business with him, which was why she was so straightforward. However, Lu Ye didn't know that rule at all and didn't even tip her, which made Liu Ruyin a little unhappy.
Liu Quan was a man and didn't expect to do any business with Lu Ye, so he naturally had a business-like attitude.
Lu Ye couldn't be bothered wasting time and took out four storage bags. "You guys have a way to open these right?"
This was what Yiyi had brought to him previously. She had told him that there was someone in the Greencloud Market who could unlock the restriction lock in the storage pouch. However, Lu Ye had forgotten about this matter the last time.
Liu Quan calmly took the storage bags. Obviously, he had seen this kind of thing many times. After a brief inspection, he said, "If Fellow Daoist wants us to help you open them, we can. However, we will have to charge a fee."
"How?"
Liu Quan reported a number.
Lu Ye's face darkened. The asking price was a little high.
Liu Quan smiled. "Of course, you can sell these items to our merchant union. Each storage bag will be priced at this price."
He gestured with his hand.
Lu Ye smiled. "This number is even lower than the previous one!"
In other words, the cost of opening the storage bags from the merchant union was actually higher than selling them to the merchant union. This didn't make sense.
Liu Quan smiled. "I know what Fellow Daoist is thinking, but this is indeed the price. Fellow Daoist, you have to understand that the storage bags of cultivators in the outer circle are worthless. Perhaps there is nothing inside, just an empty bag. The merchant union will have to bear some risk, so the price won't be too high. Of course, if Fellow Daoist wants to take a gamble and see if there are any valuable treasures in these storage bags, you only have to pay a fee to unlock them. It all depends on Fellow Daoist's choice. "
Lu Ye thought of the three cultivators that Yiyi and Big Tiger had robbed. Indeed, there was nothing good in their storage bags.
He immediately had an idea and haggled with Liu Quan. In the end, the four storage bags were sold to the merchant union at a price of 20 spirit stones.
Including the previous one, that was 71 spirit stones!
Liu Quan was clearly happy that the deal was done. He asked, "How do you want to pay? Spirit stones or spirit pills? "
Lu Ye asked, "Do you have a map of the Spirit Stream Battlefield?" The reason why Lu Ye asked this question was because he remembered that when he first entered the market, the landlord he met told him that the merchant union sold maps.
If he wanted to go to the Jade Blood Sect's base, he had to figure out the exact location of the Jade Blood Sect. Having a map in hand would naturally be more convenient.
Liu Quan immediately became enthusiastic. "Of course we do. What kind of map does Fellow Daoist want?"
"How many do you have?"
"There are three types: three-part map, seven-part map, and ten-part map."
"What's the difference?" Lu Ye couldn't help but frown. It was just selling a map, what was the point of going through so much trouble?
"It's like this …" Liu Quan began to explain. Listening to his explanation, Lu Ye slowly understood the difference between the three types of maps.
In the entire Spirit Stream Battlefield, there were countless bases of various forces. After all, all the sects and forces in the Nine States had their own bases on the battlefield. The forces intertwined with each other, and the bases frequently changed owners, so drawing a map was a very troublesome matter.
However, the Tianji Business Alliance had the ability to do so. This was because the Business Alliance had countless sub-alliances throughout the battlefield. As long as they gathered the situation of each area, they could easily draw a map of the entire battlefield. This was an ability that no single force had.
A complete map would include the situation of all the bases on the Spirit Stream Battlefield, including which camp they belonged to, and the rank of each sect. Not only that, but the various terrains of the battlefield would also be marked.
This was the ten-part map.
The seven-part map was a watered-down version of the ten-part map. It only included the general situation of 70% of the forces on the battlefield …
The three-part map had even less information, with only 30% of the bases. As for the original terrains of the battlefield, they didn't exist at all …
For Lu Ye, if he wanted to buy a ten-part map, he would definitely buy a ten-part map because the Blue Blood Sect was only a Ninth-Grade Sect. The three-part and seven-part maps might not be marked. If he bought a map and couldn't find the Blue Blood Sect, it would be a huge loss.
Moreover, there was an advantage to buying a ten-part map, and that was that he could go to the Tianji Business Alliance to update the map at any time in the future. Because of the constant fighting in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, bases frequently changed owners. Today, a base belonged to the Grand Heaven Alliance, and tomorrow, it would belong to the Myriad Demon Ridge. If he didn't pay attention and rushed in, he would definitely not have a good end. With a map that could be updated in real-time, a lot of risks could be avoided.
However, after Lu Ye inquired about the price, he gave up on this idea.
A ten-part map cost 600 Spirit Stones, and this was after a discount.
As for the three-part map that Liu Quan strongly recommended, it also cost a few dozen Spirit Stones, but why would Lu Ye want a three-part map?
In the end, he had no choice but to end the transaction. He kept one of the seventy-one Spirit Stones and used the remaining seventy to buy seven bottles of sixty-three Spirit Accumulation Pills. With so many Spirit Accumulation Pills, his breakthrough to the Second Order Spirit Stream Realm was just around the corner.
