Chapter 286.1: Deal
Qi Yuan glanced at Kuang Huan, gleaning more information about him.
"Your aptitude is rather poor..." he commented honestly.
With Kuang Huan's talent, he wouldn't even qualify to enter the Divine Radiance Sect.
Kuang Huan's expression tightened slightly. "How poor?"
"Very poor. Without some special immortal opportunity, in this lifetime... you'll probably only hover around the Qi Refinement realm."
"Qi Refinement?" Kuang Huan had never heard the term before, mulling it over. "Is that a cultivation realm? Mr. Qi, could you explain a bit more?"
"There are seven realms in cultivation, Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Violet Palace, Yin Spirit, and Yang Spirit. Qi Refinement is the weakest, while Yang Spirit the strongest," Qi Yuan explained simply.
Since the other party was a major client, he was somewhat accommodating.
Hearing this, Kuang Huan's eyes lit up, especially at the mention of the Core Formation. He trembled ever so slightly as he asked softly, "At higher levels, can one contend against firearms?"
"You aim too low. Of course you can," Qi Yuan said.
At the Yang Spirit level, destroying worlds with a punch was no joke. Even at Nascent Soul or Core Formation, one could overturn the Qin Yuan Kingdom entirely.
"Even light guns?" Kuang Huan asked eagerly.
Light guns were special weapons that originated from Brilliant Star, considered second-tier high-end weaponry. They were somewhat like electromagnetic guns. Though instead of bullets, they fired beams of light. The beams had special penetrative properties, only affecting living organisms by damaging cells through radiation.
Furthermore, they rivaled the speed of light. An ordinary Yin Spirit cultivator couldn’t match that speed, but they wouldn’t be injured by a single hit. Besides, one only had to be faster than the person pulling the trigger.
"I haven't seen one, but probably," Qi Yuan replied casually, looking at the various firearms on the table. "You're in the arms business?"
"Yes, just making a hard-earned living. If Mr. Qi likes any of these guns, I'll give it to you. I can also handle the firearm license," Kuang Huan said quickly, appearing refined and courteous.
In front of Qi Yuan, he showed none of his usual arrogance as an arms dealer. When dealing with generals or officials of small nations, he was often domineering and condescending.
Qi Yuan casually picked up a compact handgun. "These little toys can be useful sometimes."
When traveling, a gun's deterrence could surpass many things. In his previous life, he had never handled a gun, now it felt like a child playing with a toy.
"This is my first time holding one. Thanks."
Kuang Huan smiled ingratiatingly. "I'm glad you like it."
Qi Yuan put the gun away and went straight to the point. "Did you bring the money? Shall we proceed?"
He had only two purposes here. First, to sell the Super Invincible Slightly Explosive Technique.
The man in black jacket hesitated. "The funds are ready and can be transferred anytime... It's just that, the technique..."
He sat down casually. "Send the money first, then I'll give it to you."
The table was filled with firearms and various expensive drinks in different colors.
Qi Yuan picked up a red drink and gulped it down. A spicy yet cloyingly sweet taste filled his mouth. He set it down. "Not very good."
Having drunk immortal elixirs, even these premium beverages tasted like diluted disinfectant to him.
Watching Qi Yuan drink a bottle worth tens of thousands so casually, as if he was at home, Kuang Huan finally gritted his teeth. "A Zhi, transfer the money."
"My account number is forty seven..." Qi Yuan recited it.
Kuang Huan sat beside him and said cautiously, "Mr. Qi, your account level has some limitations for large transfers. I can help upgrade it, would that be alright?"
Though an arms dealer, Kuang Huan had strong connections in Qin Yuan. He even had ties to military forces. Under the guise of smuggling, it was actually a way to clear out the military's inventory and sell off old, obsolete goods.
Qi Yuan had no objections. "Sure."
If anything, it was convenient. In Qin Yuan, ordinary accounts had strict limits and could easily be frozen. Naturally, high-tier accounts had no such issues. After all, they represented wealth and a higher societal standing. Even if the bank’s smart systems detected suspicious activity, they couldn’t freeze the account without higher-level approval.
Soon, Qi Yuan received a message. His account level had been upgraded. A friend request from a bank employee also appeared. Qi Yuan accepted the friend request and immediately received a message.
Hello, I'm from Wei Qin Bank... bachelor's from Kyoto University... master's degree... I will be your personal wealth advisor...
Below the message was a lightly made-up ID photo. At the same time, another message arrived. More than ninety million Qin Yuan currency had been credited.
Kuang Huan was both excited and uneasy. "Mr. Qi, the money has been transferred. Please check."
Now that the money had been paid, would Qi Yuan fulfill his end of the bargain?
"Alright. Turn on your phone recording, I'll recite it to you."
"Recite?" Kuang Huan froze. "Is there no manual or digital copy?"
Qi Yuan glanced at him. "I made it up casually. Who has time to prepare a digital version?"
Kuang Huan was stunned. "Made it up casually?"
You're not even going to pretend? he thought.
"This is my casual creation. It’s actually worth far more than ninety million. You're profiting. Worried it's flawed? Relax, I practice techniques I made myself. No issues."
This was Qi Yuan’s consideration toward a big client.
Kuang Huan's thoughts were in turmoil, but he nodded. "Alright."
"The Super Invincible Slightly Explosive Technique has about one thousand three hundred words. Listen carefully, ask me if anything's unclear," Qi Yuan quickly recited the entire method.
Kuang Huan listened intently, still wanting more afterward.
"Did you get it? Any questions?"
Kuang Huan shook his head. "Mr. Qi, you asked me to gather some materials. They're on the ship. I'll organize them and bring them in about half an hour."
In truth, he wanted time to verify the technique.
"Fine. Hurry up. I'll go fishing," said Qi Yuan.
The reception room even had a fishing platform.
Kuang Huan hurried out. "Understood."
