Chapter 1487: Chapter 932: Master Yun Ge’s Overture
Tianquan Tower dispatched personnel to various places to procure resources. As the largest and most prosperous Immortal Cultivation City in the western region of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, Qingli Immortal City was naturally the primary focus for Tianquan Tower’s procurement.
In the situation of an emergency war, Tianquan Tower was procuring almost without regard to cost.
In just three days, the prices of various spiritual materials in Qingli Immortal City increased by fifty percent.
Inside the Immortal City, the talisman shop of the Yang Family was bustling with people.
Zhen Tao was welcoming and seeing off customers in the shop, inviting both familiar and unfamiliar business clients.
"Hehe, Immortal Master Chen, please come in, come in!"
Zhen Tao ushered a white-haired elder into the shop.
"Manager Zhen, long time no see!" Chen Zhongheng said with a cheerful smile.
Though Zhen Tao was just a Martial Artist, as the shopkeeper of the Yang family’s talisman shop, he had been in Qingli Immortal City for more than ten years, so many people were familiar with him and did not look down on him because he was a Martial Artist.
"Immortal Master Chen, let’s talk inside!"
After some pleasantries, Zhen Tao led Chen Zhongheng to the back hall.
Tea was always ready, and as soon as they sat down, Zhen Tao got straight to the point, saying, "Immortal Master Chen, did you bring the items?"
"Yes, I did!"
Chen Zhongheng placed a string of storage bags on the tea table in front of him and said, "Our Chen family’s ore storages in the Immortal City are not large, and the time is rather tight, so we can only offer this much for now."
"There are thirty-eight thousand pounds of Thick Earth Mystical Crystal, eight thousand four hundred pounds of Yellow Jade and White Sand, seven hundred and sixty pounds of Heaven Pillar Stone, and various other second-order earth attribute ores totaling one thousand two hundred and thirty-six pounds!"
"Manager Zhen, please check them!"
Zhen Tao gestured to two young men behind him, who immediately stepped forward to inspect the ores in the storage bags.
"It’s too little, I need more!"
Chen Zhongheng’s eyes gleamed, "How much do you need?"
"The more, the better. As long as your Chen family can produce it, our Yang family can take it all!" Zhen Tao made no secret of his appetite.
The Chen family, one of the Immortal Cultivation Families of the Qingli Dynasty, was once one of the six Qingli families. However, now only three of those families remain: the Liu family, the Yan family, and the Chen family.
The Lin family, which was once the foremost Immortal Cultivation Family of the Qingli Dynasty, was destroyed just over a month ago.
Zhang Mo kept his promise and helped Duan Qiankun eliminate the Lin family.
The vast Lin family is now reduced to just Lin Huaijin, and even the old ancestor Lin Qihe was killed by Zhang Mo.
Although Lin Huaijin is not dead, he is missing, and his whereabouts are unknown.
As one of the former six Qingli families, the Chen family had deep foundations. Most importantly, the Chen family had two earth attribute mineral veins, allowing them to mine large amounts of first-order and second-order earth attribute ores annually.
Therefore, in this major procurement, the Chen family was one of the key targets in the Spirit Source Land.
"As for the price!" Chen Zhongheng displayed a shrewd expression.
"Increased by fifty percent over the previous price, Immortal Master Chen, this is not a low price, and the opportunity is only once. If you miss this one, even if the prices in Qingli Immortal City become higher in a short time, there won’t be any more large transactions!" Zhen Tao said.
Chen Zhongheng nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, let’s go with Manager Zhen’s price!"
"Haha, Immortal Master Chen, you are straightforward, but you must act quickly. I can only give you five days, beyond which we will stop purchasing!" Zhen Tao laughed.
"No problem!"
Chen Zhongheng agreed.
The ore in the storage bags was quickly checked, and Zhen Tao paid the Spirit Stones without further ado. After receiving the Spirit Stones, Chen Zhongheng took his leave.
Five days is neither too short nor too long; he must hurry to make preparations.
Such a rare opportunity, their Chen family must not miss it.
After Chen Zhongheng left, Zhen Tao quickly welcomed the next business client, a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator from Wind Valley.
"Ice Heart Jade, Cold Crystal, Green Water Crystal, we want them all!"
"Also Snow Mountain Fire Lotus, Ice Thorn Fruit, Winter Thorn Grass, Eight-Pointed Mystic Ice Flower, and so on. We want them all too!"
"No, the price can increase by at most fifty percent. We need Wind Valley’s ores and herbs, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be a foolhardy spendthrift!"
"Without your Wind Valley, at worst, we’ll procure from other places!"
Compared to Chen Zhongheng’s straightforwardness, Wind Valley seemed more calculative. Zhen Tao haggled with them for a long time before settling on a price.
So it went, as Zhen Tao set orders one after another with various Immortal Cultivation Forces.
With the increasing prices of spiritual materials in Qingli Immortal City, the prices of elixirs, magic artifacts, talismans, and the like naturally followed suit.
For a time, the cost of living in Qingli Immortal City soared, causing the loose cultivators there to lament.
Inside Cave Dwelling No. 1, Group A.
A middle-aged cultivator stood before Master Yun Ge, reporting on the changes in prices over the years in Qingli Immortal City.
"Lord, in just under ten days, the Yang family has distributed at least five million Spirit Stones. More astonishingly, they have not stopped and continue to buy spiritual materials on a large scale!"
"If they continue like this, Qingli Immortal City may face a shortage of spiritual materials in the short term!"
The middle-aged cultivator said in a solemn tone.
Master Yun Ge stroked his beard, and his chubby face also showed a serious expression.
"The talented Yang family, it seems we’ve underestimated them in the past!"
Among the numerous Immortal Cultivation Families, the talented Yang family was not particularly outstanding, and Master Yun Ge had never paid much attention to them before.
"Lord, should we stop them?" the middle-aged cultivator asked.
Master Yun Ge retrieved a Jade Scroll, reviewed it, and then shook his head slightly, "We cannot stop them!"
