Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 542: Chapter 288: Bulk Purchase (Part 3)

’If he manages to track me, will I ever be able to live peacefully as a "Boatman" in Zi’an County again?’

’But selling a few here and there on occasion might be justifiable.’

He also didn’t understand why Foundation Establishment Pills were now a requirement for a breakthrough. Before the pills were invented, couldn’t the ancients break through?

But he didn’t dwell on such pointless speculation. In response to Zhao Yonglong’s question, he shook his head and said, "I do have some, but they’re incredibly valuable and can’t be sold casually. If you want some in the future, I could try to figure out a way to get you two or three."

Zhao Yonglong’s expression turned to one of excitement upon hearing this. "Really? Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Cheng! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come to you when I need them in the future!"

’With this connection, if I ever have a chance to advance to the final stage, this gives me one more opportunity.’ After calming his emotions, he slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, I’m not sure about other things. But you could go check out the Carefree Immortal Sect’s service point. They have a lot of bounties for missions, requiring all sorts of resources. A whole lot of them."

Cheng Zongyang cupped his fist. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist. In that case, I’ll take these One-Horned Iron Bulls now. You should count the Spirit Stones as well."

"Alright!" Zhao Yonglong didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately released his Divine Sense.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zongyang began to take the Iron Bulls into his market hut, one by one. From there, Luo Dingran transferred all the One-Horned Iron Bulls to the Fourth Level and the fifth level, with some temporarily placed on the first floor.

But this wasn’t a long-term solution. After all, the space on the fourth and fifth levels wasn’t very large to begin with. Back then, the Transmission Space on the Fourth Level had only been expanded by three hundred square meters for farming experiments.

Therefore, it was unrealistic to store more than six hundred oxen on these three levels.

Thus, Luo Dingran also called over some Soul Slaves to help. They fed Wilderness Bean Water to all the Exotic Beast Oxen on the Fourth Level and fifth level to make them fall asleep, which would make it easier to manage these unruly beasts later.

Outside, Zhao Yonglong quickly finished counting the fifty thousand Spirit Stones. After confirming the amount was correct, he put them all into his Storage Pouch, sighing in relief.

However, when he saw Cheng Zongyang so quickly storing away the Iron Bulls one after another, his shock was followed by understanding. It only strengthened his belief that Cheng Zongyang was from a Commerce Association.

’He really must be from a major Commerce Association. To think they’d even give a portable Spatial Treasure that can hold living creatures to a scout looking for business.’

As Cheng Zongyang finished storing all the Iron Bulls, Zhao Yonglong walked over to his side. His tone and attitude had become even more respectful. "Fellow Daoist Cheng," he asked, "will you need more in the future?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled. "I do. Whether it’s Spirit Rice, Demon Beasts, or Exotic Beasts, I’ll take them all. But my main priorities are Spirit Rice and Exotic Beast Flesh. I have a residence in Zi’an County. I’m often away, but I do come back sometimes. If you have anything you want to sell me, you can look for me there. If I’m not around, just leave a letter and slip it under the door."

"Of course, future prices won’t be at the market rate like they were today. I’m already not making a profit by paying market price this time. And for a Commerce Association, not making a profit is the same as losing money. Fellow Daoist Zhao, you should understand what I mean."

Although a Cultivator could leave a message within an Array, he was not a Cultivator and couldn’t use Divine Sense to check for such messages. Thus, a physical letter was best.

A flicker of light passed through Zhao Yonglong’s eyes as he made a few decisions in his heart. He then proceeded to ask some more questions.

For example, the purchase price for Spirit Rice, the purchase price for Demon Beast Flesh, the required quantities, how often he would be buying, and so on.

Cheng Zongyang answered them one by one.

From the questions Zhao Yonglong asked, he could also tell that the man was already intending to act as a middleman.

But he would be pushing the prices down in the future. That was the only way he could earn more by flipping the goods.

After they finished their discussion and he had given the other man his address, Cheng Zongyang left the Magical Treasure Space and returned to the county.
