Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 600: Chapter 311: Procurement Docking 3

Baili Xi chuckled, his eyes glinting with desire. "With something this good, the only problem is having too little, never too much."

"Steward Baili, why don’t you first calculate how many Spirit Stones these are worth?" Cheng Zongyang countered.

Baili Xi glanced at Cheng Zongyang, wondering if the man would agree to his request. But looking at the sheer quantity of valuable items before him, he remembered that the main ingredient for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was exceedingly rare. ’Even if he has some,’ he thought, ’he can’t have many. After all, they’re incredibly expensive. They wouldn’t be so precious otherwise.’

Baili Xi immediately dove into the calculations. As he calculated the price of each item on the list, his excitement grew.

With every price he calculated, he could practically see his own power on the verge of a breakthrough. This meant a larger commission in Spirit Stones for him, and his family could purchase more resources for Cultivation.

About a quarter of an hour later, looking at the densely filled-out purchase list and the final price, Baili Xi struggled to contain his excitement. He said slowly, "It’s all calculated, Fellow Daoist Luo. Based on the prices we agreed upon, the total is 1,025,680 Spirit Stones."

Hearing this total, Cheng Zongyang suddenly asked, "Do you sell the Elixir Recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill? And what’s the price?"

"Wha-what?" Baili Xi froze, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

Cheng Zongyang repeated his question.

Once he was sure he hadn’t misheard, Baili Xi gave a wry smile and explained, "The Elixir Recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill is for sale, yes, but how many people can actually refine the pill? The main issue is that its primary ingredient is a Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine. These days, aside from the Five Great Immortal Sects and some ancient Cultivation Immortality Families, the only place you might find one is the Profound Origin Secret Realm. That’s what makes the Foundation Establishment Pill so precious."

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang understood. ’It seems the Elixir Recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill I got from Tang Feng is worthless,’ he thought.

"In that case, add a set of seeds for the medicinal materials used in the Foundation Establishment Pill. Do you have any?"

Baili Xi’s brow furrowed slightly. He mulled it over but didn’t press for details. ’You can grow them yourself, of course,’ he thought, ’but only the Immortal Sects and the great Cultivation Immortality Families have the resources to cultivate a primary ingredient that takes a thousand years to mature.’

"We can do that," Baili Xi responded.

"Are you sure you want Foundation Establishment Pills?" Cheng Zongyang suddenly asked.

Baili Xi’s head snapped toward Cheng Zongyang, his heart starting to pound in his chest. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind in an instant.

’Does he mean he’ll cover the whole amount with them?’

’Could he really have that many Foundation Establishment Pills?’

’What kind of faction is this? Do they treat Foundation Establishment Pills like candy?’

But he quickly suppressed his shock and confusion, doing his best to keep his voice even. "The entire amount?"

Cheng Zongyang understood what he meant. Instead of answering directly, he took out a Beast Hide Scroll, placed it in front of Baili Xi, and said slowly, "We can discuss it. But for security reasons, you’ll have to sign this confidentiality agreement first."

Filled with confusion, Baili Xi took the Beast Hide Scroll and examined it carefully. It wasn’t long, containing only seven or eight clauses. They were all restrictive, confidential terms: the identity of the one providing the Foundation Establishment Pills must not be disclosed, no one could be sent to investigate or trail them, and other similar stipulations.

Baili Xi was now both shocked and puzzled. Shocked that the man truly intended to use Foundation Establishment Pills to cover the cost! ’Just how powerful is the faction backing him?’

What puzzled him was the penalty for breach of contract: ’Soul Returns to the Wilderness. What does that mean?’

Just then, Cheng Zongyang spoke up. "Steward Baili, if you have no intention of telling anyone, the contents of this Beast Hide Scroll are irrelevant. Or... is there someone you were planning to tell?"
