A moment later, Lu Ye sat in a compartment surrounded by screens to block prying eyes. The female Monster Cultivator was nowhere to be seen, but before she left, she had asked Lu Ye to wait here and a steward would soon come to trade with him. If he had any other instructions, he could ring the bell on the side and someone would come to greet him.
There was a pot of tea on the table, so Lu Ye poured himself a cup. After taking a sip, he immediately showed a surprised expression because this tea did not seem to be ordinary tea. There was some Spirit Energy contained in the tea, although not much, it was definitely there.
This discovery made Lu Ye realize the huge financial resources of the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance. This was just tea to entertain guests, but who knew how much it would cost in a day. Without a foundation, one would not be able to withstand such a torment.
He drank in big mouthfuls. After drinking a pot, still no one came to greet him. Lu Ye was not in a hurry and gently rang the bell on the side.
Immediately, a maid from the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance came in, "What orders does Guest have?"
Lu Ye pointed to the empty pot on the table, "Refill!"
The maid was stunned for a moment, but her reaction was not slow. She quickly figured out what Lu Ye meant, smiled, picked up the empty pot, and walked out.
A moment later, another maid came in with a pot of spirit tea and gently put it down, "Guest, please enjoy."
It was not until Lu Ye drank three pots of tea and burped that a woman came in, "Sorry to keep Fellow Daoist waiting. This Mistress, Liu Ruyin, greets Fellow Daoist."
A faint fragrance immediately lingered at the tip of Lu Ye's nose. Looking at the woman who came in, he saw that she was wearing skimpy clothes, exposing a large part of her snow-white skin. Coupled with her soft voice, the atmosphere in the small compartment became ambiguous.
"It's fine," Lu Ye nodded.
The woman named Liu Ruyin pulled out a chair across from Lu Ye and sat down. She then picked up the teapot and personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Ye. Her body leaned forward greatly, and the outline of her back looked alluring. Her split neckline was snow-white, and it made Lu Ye dizzy.
He quickly took a sip of tea to calm his nerves.
When she came in, Lu Ye had checked her aura and speculated that this woman should be a Third-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, but her aura was not clear. It seemed that she often took pills to cultivate.
Putting down the teapot, Liu Ruyin asked, "May I know what Fellow Daoist wants to sell?"
Lu Ye took out the ores he was going to sell from his storage bag. Of course, he wouldn't take them all out at once. This was his first time coming into contact with the Tianji Business Alliance. He still didn't know the character of this business alliance.
What he took out were the ones he had taken out from the stall earlier.
Pieces of ores were placed in front of Liu Ruyin. She casually picked up one of them and examined it for a moment before she nodded. "This piece of Red Essence Iron is of good quality. It's a pity that it's too small. If it was bigger, it could be refined into a longsword."
She picked up another piece, and her beautiful eyes lit up. "This Starmoon Stone is also fine, it has very few impurities."
Then, he took the third piece …
Lu Ye finally saw what professionalism was. This woman named Liu Ruyin was very familiar with the ores in front of Lu Ye. Her comments were all on point, although Lu Ye didn't really understand.
Finally, she picked up the magnetic ore and said with a smile, "This thing is rare in the outer circle of the battlefield. It can be sold for a good price."
Putting down the magnetic ore, she looked at Lu Ye and said, "The Business Alliance can sell these things for 55 spirit stones. If Fellow Daoist thinks the value is appropriate, we can trade."
Thanks to the results of his observation in the market, Lu Ye roughly understood the purchasing power of 55 spirit stones. Moreover, this price was also within his expectations.
When he set up the stall earlier, although many people offered prices with the intention of taking advantage of him, overall, Lu Ye also used this opportunity to figure out the general value of his ores.
It could be said that there wasn't much difference between Liu Ruyin's price.
He frowned slightly and said, "It's a bit cheap."
Liu Ruyin smiled and said, "Compared to Fellow Daoist peddling them one by one, it's naturally cheaper, but it can save Fellow Daoist a lot of effort, right? The Business Alliance has a large business and many people need to feed. Fellow Daoist, you should at least give us some space to profit. "
"Add a bit more."
Liu Ruyin raised her hand and rubbed her forehead as if she had a headache. However, her appearance was not bad, so not only did this not make people feel disgusted, but it also made her more charming.
"Alright, since Fellow Daoist is sincere in selling, then I'll make the decision to add 4 more spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, you must not bargain anymore, or I'll have to pay for this deal myself." She looked at Lu Ye pitifully as if she was bullied.
Lu Ye naturally did not believe her, but seeing her like this, he knew that there was no way to raise the price anymore, so he said, "Okay."
Liu Ruyin immediately smiled like a flower. "Fellow Daoist, how do you want to pay? Spirit stones or spirit pills?"
"How much are you selling these spirit pills?" Lu Ye asked. He was a little surprised that he could pay with spirit pills. He originally planned to buy the spirit pills after getting the spirit stones, but on second thought, many low-level cultivators would do this. The Tianji Business Alliance's method of payment undoubtedly saved him a lot of formalities.
"There are 9 spirit pills in a bottle, and the price is 10 spirit stones."
Lu Ye frowned and said, "Don't fool me. It's only 1 spirit stone per pill outside. Why are you selling them more expensive?"
Liu Ruyin explained, "Although they're all spirit pills, the quality of the spirit pills refined by different alchemists is different. The alchemists in the Business Alliance who refine spirit pills are all great cultivators with superb skills. Those alchemists outside can't compare to them. If Fellow Daoist doesn't believe me, you can buy some to compare and you'll be able to feel it. Moreover, if there's really a problem with the quality of the Business Alliance's spirit pills, there won't be so many cultivators coming to the Business Alliance to buy them. "
Lu Ye nodded. "What you said makes some sense. Then give me 5 bottles of spirit pills and the rest of the spirit stones."
"Okay!" Liu Ruyin nodded and stood up. "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
She turned around and left the compartment while swaying her waist. Soon, she returned and took out 5 bottles and 4 spirit stones, placing them in front of Lu Ye. "These are your things, Fellow Daoist."
After the deal was done, each of them put the things into their own storage bags.
Without waiting for Lu Ye to stand up, Liu Ruyin said, "It's already late. Fellow Daoist, do you have a place to rest?"
When she asked this, Lu Ye suddenly remembered that there didn't seem to be any inns in this market. At least, he didn't see any.
Seeing Lu Ye's expression, Liu Ruyin understood and said, "The Business Alliance's third floor and above are all inns. One spirit stone is enough to stay for a night. I guarantee that Fellow Daoist won't be disturbed when you rest and cultivate. Also …"
She moved closer to Lu Ye's ear and breathed out, "If Fellow Daoist has any other needs, we can also satisfy them. You just have to call the manager over there."
"I'm not that kind of person!" Lu Ye said seriously. At the same time, he was secretly surprised. This Heavenly Secret Business Alliance really did all kinds of business!
Liu Ruyin had seen many people like Lu Ye, so she pretended not to hear him and said softly, "I'm a servant. If Fellow Daoist wants me to serve you, you can call the manager to find me at that time."
Lu Ye felt a headache coming. "I'm really not that kind of person."
A moment later, Liu Ruyin looked at Lu Ye's back as he left. The smile on her face disappeared, and she said angrily, "Stingy man!"
Under normal circumstances, if a cultivator made a large transaction here, they would be rewarded with one or two spirit stones, especially after Liu Ruyin raised the price for Lu Ye.
This was an unwritten rule.
Unfortunately, it was Lu Ye's first time here to make a transaction, so he naturally didn't know about the reward.
