Chapter 484
Within a private room, Long Chen, Zheng Wenlong, and that Elder from the Huayun Sect were sitting and drinking tea . From Zheng Wenlong’s introduction, Long Chen learned that the Elder’s name was Old Qian .
After a simple introduction, Long Chen got straight the the point . “Within the secret realm and also now in the monastery, the only reason I was able to avoid disaster was because of brother Zheng’s assistance . I will definitely remember this favor . ”
“You’re too courteous Long Chen . In truth, we were simply extras . Even if we hadn’t been present, with monastery head Shui, you would have been fine . ” Zheng Wenlong shook his head .
Zheng Wenlong was also a magnanimous person . This time, he had truly been just an extra . Everything had been within Shui Wuhen’s control .
“No matter what, I still owe you . After all, the Huayun Sect sacrificed quite a few disciples . That truly makes me ashamed,” said Long Chen apologetically .
Within the secret realm, dozens of Huayun Sect disciples had been killed . That made Long Chen deeply apologetic, as death always brought pain with it .
Old Qian, who hadn’t said anything up to this point, finally opened his mouth . “To do business is to risk danger . Within this world, there is no business that is risk-free . You don’t need to feel ashamed . Under little Wenlong’s arrangements, the families of those disciples that died will all be looked after . They’ll never go cold or hungry . ”
Hearing that, Long Chen felt great reverence for the Huayun Sect . Perhaps they were the sect that valued emotions the most .
In other sects, when people died, not only was there no compensation, but even their remains might not necessarily be sent back to their families .
The worst thing was that when some disciples died, if their families were too weak, their wealth would be directly snatched by others . In fact, sometimes they would even be killed for their treasures .
Compared to those sects, the members Huayun Sect, who only ever spoke of business, were practically saints .
“Then since you’re both businessmen, I won’t argue . Let’s talk about cooperating . I have some medicinal sprouts I want to get rid of . At the same time, I need to buy a large quantity of medicinal ingredients . I’ll need brother Zheng’s help . ” said Long Chen .
As soon as the conversation moved to business, Zheng Wenlong and Old Qian’s eyes both lit up . Sitting up straight, Zheng Wenlong asked, “How many medicinal sprouts do you have? And what quality and quantity?”
“I have a lot . As for the lower tier or common medicinal ingredients, there’s no need to include them, as there’s little profit . In terms of the more precious medicinal sprouts I have, or ones that have nearly gone extinct in the world, I have over a hundred . I should be able to offer you a hundred of each of them,” said Long Chen .
“That many?” Both Zheng Wenlong and Old Qian were shocked .
Medicinal sprouts were not the same as medicinal ingredients . That term signified that the medicinal ingredients he was referring to were alive . That made them over a thousand times more valuable than regular medicinal ingredients .
Furthermore, he said he had over a hundred kinds of them, and could offer a hundred of each . That was too shocking . Even they, who commonly did big business, were stunned .
“You don’t need to find it curious . These medicinal ingredients mostly came from plundering,” laughed Long Chen .
Long Chen was entirely right . Within the secret realm, he had killed countless people . Even just the spatial rings of the top experts made his rewards shocking .
Those peak experts were all much prouder, and they didn’t keep ordinary items in their spatial rings . Everything they had was the best, and so the medicinal ingredients they had were the best . After those withered ingredients were planted in the primal chaos space, they could be turned into medicinal sprouts .
“Brother Zheng, you have a life ring, right?”
“Yes . ” As a businessman, he naturally was prepared .
“Good . Then I will take out the medicinal ingredients one by one for you to register . ” Saying this, Long Chen began to take out items from his life ring .
In truth, that was false . Long Chen was directly summoning them from his primal chaos space . He had no choice but to be careful, as its abilities were too heaven-defying, and he couldn’t allow others to learn about it .
“Amazing . Sevenstar Grass, Southern Sky Flower, Nine Leaf Lotus…” Old Qian’s eyes shined as he watched Long Chen take out precious medicines one after another .
These were mostly fifth tier precious medicines used for refining fifth tier medicinal pills . Furthermore, just as Long Chen said, these were all mostly extinct in the outside world . Let alone living ones, just dried up versions were incredibly difficult to find .
Long Chen had taken out a total of one hundred and seven medicinal ingredients . Ninety-three of them had been fifth tier ingredients, while fourteen of them had been sixth tier ingredients . Those were used to refine medicinal pills used by Xiantian experts! They were absolutely priceless .
Some of them were even medicinal ingredients that Old Qian didn’t recognize . It was Long Chen who told them what they were, and he would have to go through some ancient records once he got back before selling them .
“Hahaha, big business, definitely big business!” laughed Old Qian . Even those wrinkles on his face lessened greatly, making him appear a decade younger .
Zheng Wenlong was also ecstatic . “Brother Long, if you sell all these medicinal sprouts, you would definitely have enough resources to create your own first-rate power . ”
Long Chen smiled slightly . “Then I’ll let brother Zheng handle these things . ”
“Don’t worry brother Long, there definitely won’t be any problem . ” Zheng Wenlong patted himself on the chest, also feeling moved inside .
Long Chen was handing this much wealth to him, expressing that he had absolute confidence in him .
“Speaking of which, we conduct business through spirit stones, so after gradually selling these medicinal ingredients off and deducting the normal service charge, we can send you a large amount of spirit stones,” said Zheng Wenlong .
That was because in accordance with the Business Dao, only rare things had value . If they took out this many medicinal sprouts and sold them all at once, their profits would shrink .
They would definitely have to split them up and auction them over time . Furthermore, small auctions didn’t have the ability to auction off such precious medicinal sprouts, as there was limited purchasing power there . So they definitely needed to come up with a plan first .
“You don’t need to send them here . Keep the money with yourself . Other than that, here’s a list . Help me buy the medicinal ingredients on it . You can just directly subtract the cost from the profit from the medicinal sprouts . Once you find them, you can directly send them over,” said Long Chen, handing over a list .
On that list were many medicinal ingredients . Many of those were ones Zheng Wenlong and Old Qian had never heard of .
As for the ones they did recognize, they caused them to suck in a cold gasp of air . Many of those were items that basically only existed in legends . Very, very few people had ever even seen them .
Such things were all astronomically expensive . It was no wonder Long Chen said there was no need to send him spirit stones .
As for why Long Chen wanted these medicinal ingredients, they didn’t ask . In any case, whether Long Chen was selling or buying, the Huayun Sect would still get profit .
Furthermore, considering what level of buying and selling Long Chen was planning, their profit would definitely be exceedingly bountiful . That made Zheng Wenlong ecstatic .
He had never imagined Long Chen would bring him so much profit this quickly . This way, he was no longer under so much pressure, and he could quickly get a large sum of money to give financial support to the families of the disciples who had died .
On the other hand, a large portion of that profit would be his own, and he could use it to buy medicinal pills, cultivation techniques, and various other treasures that would increase his own strength .
In the Huayun Sect, there was a certain saying: the amount of wealth you had determined how far you could walk on the cultivation path .
“This cooperation this time is just the beginning . In the future, there will be many things I’ll need brother Zheng’s help with . This is just a small gift for you . You can consider it a bribe,” laughed Long Chen, handing Zheng Wenlong a jade case .
“Brother Long, you’re too courteous, there’s no need… what?!” Zheng Wenlong opened the case and couldn’t help letting out a startled cry .
“Qilin Fruit!” Even Old Qian cried out in shock .
The two of them were both businessmen, and their strongest point was their eyesight, the ability to appraise the value of various treasures .
The Qilin Fruit was a heaven-defying treasure capable of upgrading a person’s Spirit Root . It was something they had only seen in ancient records .
“Brother Long, this is too precious!” Zheng Wenlong didn’t know what to do . This was something cultivators would dream of obtaining . It was effective on anyone within the Xiantian realm .
“Don’t decline brother Zheng . Didn’t you say the greatest investment a person could make was an emotional investment? Well then this can be considered my investment in our relationship . This cooperation will also being me great assistance, and so this is just a symbol of my sincerity,” said Long Chen .
“Alright, then I’ll accept it . ” Zheng Wenlong gratefully and very carefully put away the Qilin Fruit .
This was a treasure that money could not buy . Once he returned to his sect, he could invite a master alchemist to refine it into a medicinal pill . That would bring him endless benefit .
After talking a bit longer with the two of them, Zheng Wenlong left behind his address and left with Old Qian .
Time was precious to businessmen . Each breath they took was money . It could be said Zheng Wenlong was in a race against time . The Jiuli secret realm had just closed, and many treasures were circulating around now . However, some sects didn’t dare reveal their treasures so quickly, afraid others would place their intentions on them .
In the past, it was always years before they gradually began to reveal the treasures they had obtained from the secret realm . But this time wasn’t the same . The large sects had all suffered immense casualties, and were on the verge of going berserk .
As for the smaller sects, they had obtained treasures, but they didn’t dare reveal them . If Zheng Wenlong didn’t use this time properly, he wouldn’t get any profit . But then if he didn’t know how to use the medicinal sprouts Long Chen had just provided him, he really wouldn’t be Zheng Wenlong .
However, when he returned, there were many things he needed to set up . For the large enough auctions, they needed a great deal of promotion first in order to draw enough people .
These medicinal sprouts would mostly be sold to sects, and those sects all had their own medicinal fields . That was why they would be willing to spend such a large amount on medicinal sprouts .
No matter how much they spent, they would get that profit back in a few decades . Then with continual breeding, it would be a continuous flow of profit .
After sending them off, a disciple ran over with an extremely grave expression . “Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, something’s happened to senior apprentice-sister Meng Qi!”
Qian as in the character for money .
