Cheng Ling smiled and said calmly: "My master researched this Xuanyuan Pill by himself. I don't know its specific price. How about the shopkeeper telling me the actual price and letting me think about it?"
"Oh, your master is actually an expert in alchemy. May I ask what level of master you are?"
"I don't know about that. It's very high anyway. Shopkeeper, you'd better tell me the purchase price of the elixir first!"
Song Yuan pondered for a while, this kind of quality elixir is ten times stronger than the Hunyuan Dan, and its value must be very high, but if he speaks first, he will lose the initiative. He said: "It's up to you to set a price!"
Cheng Ling said helplessly: "In that case, I think this pill is much stronger than the Dragon Power Pill. How about one million medium-grade spiritual stones?"
The old man thought to himself that the price of one million medium-grade spiritual stones was not high, but it was not very cost-effective to sell them. The level of monasticism in the south is low, and the ability of monks to purchase elixirs is limited. A million worth of elixirs sold by their own elixir shop would cost at least 1.2 million.
As a result, if the sales volume is not high in the future, the withdrawal of funds will be a big problem. He said: "Your Excellency, one million middle-grade spiritual stones is too high. I wonder if it can be lowered?"
"According to the shopkeeper's opinion, how much is the purchase price?"
"Eight hundred thousand mid-grade spiritual stones!"
Cheng Ling was shocked. This shopkeeper was quite shady. If Xuanyuan Dan was put up for auction, he believed that someone would buy it even if it was two million, not to mention one million. Eight hundred thousand mid-grade spiritual stones is really low enough.
He laughed and said, "In that case, let's talk about the elixir. There are some materials here. Shopkeeper Song can take a look and give me a suitable price."
After saying that, he handed over a storage ring.
Song Yuan took it, and with a sweep of his consciousness, a look of shock flashed across his face, which turned into surprise in an instant, and he hurriedly said: "Fellow Taoist, are you really planning to sell these materials?"
"That's right. When my master and I returned from overseas, we happened to find a mountain range with many medicinal herbs along the way, so we collected some. What's the price?"
Song Yuan was silent for a long time, thinking to himself. These materials are a timely help for Danpu. With them, the material shortage situation can be solved immediately. Not only that, with these materials, even if the master's family gathers them again, they won't be afraid of not being enough.
However, judging from the previous situation of Xuanyuan Dan, the other party's asking price is definitely not low. If you ask for a low price, the other party will turn around and leave, and the materials delivered to you will be gone. But if the price is too high, it is not cost-effective.
He hesitated for a long time before saying, "How about these materials be priced at 50 million mid-grade spiritual stones?"
Cheng Ling moved his hand, grabbed the storage ring, and said, "Shopkeeper Song is really a genius in the business world. It seems I'd better find another place to sell it!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Song Yuan panicked, took a step forward, grabbed him and said, "Sir, take your time, take your time, let's do this, 80 million, how about 80 million middle-grade spiritual stones?" When he said this number, his liver trembled. Song Yuan was known as a picky person in the Cheng family, otherwise he wouldn't have become the shopkeeper of the alchemy shop.
Cheng Ling glanced at him, confirmed Lao Xi's attributes, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Song, when it comes to business, don't be too picky. The price is 100 million medium-grade spiritual stones. As for Xuanyuan Dan, if you really If you want it, I’ll give you a real price, nine hundred thousand for one!”
Song Yuan's heart was bleeding, and he finally agreed reluctantly, and was about to reach out to get the ring. However, Cheng Ling put away his hand and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Song, if you want to trade, go to the store on the east side of Fangshi at noon tomorrow.
In a small valley, my master is also there, and we have more materials than here! "
Song Yuan was excited and asked hurriedly: "Why? Could it be that our Qingliu Alchemy Shop in Nuo Da would still defraud you?"
Cheng Ling laughed and said, "That's not what you are saying. My master and apprentice have traveled extensively. They have been to many places, and their knowledge has also increased. There is nothing they haven't seen before. This Qingliufang City belongs to your Cheng family." If we have any wrong thoughts about our territory, we will lose all our money."
"On this trip, I am just acting as a front line for my master and making connections. I only brought one Xuanyuan Dan with me, and the materials are less than 30%. If your elixir shop really intends to trade, please go to the valley outside Fangshi tomorrow to trade. Bar!"
Song Yuan's face sank and he said angrily: "You are slandering me. My Cheng family has been inherited for tens of thousands of years. How could I do such a thing?"
"I don't know how many years the Cheng family has been inherited, and I don't want to know. All I know is that I, the master and the apprentice, will never be able to resist your big family. Everyone is just seeking wealth and getting what they need without causing any unpleasantness. .”
"If you are not willing to trade according to my method, then let's not talk about it. With my cultivation level, it shouldn't be a big problem to leave this Qingliu Fang City. Besides, the world is huge, so our masters and disciples can naturally find other markets. Let’s try our luck again.”
Song Yuan was speechless. To be honest, if the other party really had so much information, he would really plan to hack them. Even if they were just casual cultivators, they would not be able to fight against the Cheng family. One-third of the materials are 100 million medium-grade spiritual stones, so the entire amount must be at least 300 million.
You know, it is 300 million middle-grade spiritual stones, which is 3 billion when converted into low-grade spiritual stones. This is not a small amount. In Luoye City back then, the Chen family and the City Lord's Mansion worked together to scrape together 3 billion. No matter how strong the Cheng family's background was, it would still take a lot of effort to take it all out at once.
What's more, there is the magical Xuanyuan Dan, which is even more valuable! No, this matter is too big. I can't make the decision on my own. I need to report it to the senior management of the Cheng family.
He then said: "My little friend, look at this. I am afraid I won't be able to make the final decision on such a huge transaction. Please rest in the alchemy shop for one night. I will report it to the head of the family before making a decision."
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "That's not possible. My master has told me to go back immediately after the negotiation is concluded. I must not stay in Fangshi. If I haven't turned around after midnight tonight, he will leave. By then, I will If something unexpected happens, Master will naturally have a way to get it back!"
The old man smiled bitterly. Cheng Ling looked like a young man in his twenties, but he didn't expect that his methods were so sophisticated and his words were impeccable. He had wasted hundreds of years in business and was nailed to death by him, without the ability to fight back.
He said helplessly: "My little friend, I went to ask for instructions. I come and go again and again. I'm afraid I won't be able to turn around in a short time!"
"It's very simple. Master and I will wait at the valley at noon tomorrow. If you don't show up after the time, the transaction will naturally end and we will leave."
"Okay then! Little friend, go slowly, I won't send you away!"
Cheng Ling turned around gracefully, left the alchemy shop and walked outside Fang City!
After he left, the old man hurried to the backyard, gave some instructions to the guys, and left.
The old man left in a different direction than Cheng Ling. He hurriedly walked slowly for half an hour and arrived at a courtyard in Fang City.
Not long after, a boy came up to him and asked, "Hello, Shopkeeper Song, what kind of wind brought you here today!"
The old man nodded slightly and asked, "Is the third elder here? I have something important to discuss with you!"
"Unfortunately, Sanchang
I just left for the north yesterday, and the Ninth Elder is here now. How about I give you a briefing? "
"Well, the Ninth Elder has a very close relationship with the Third Elder, and the same goes for him!"
"Okay, Shopkeeper Song will be waiting a moment." The boy turned around and announced.
After a while, he turned around and said, "The Ninth Elder invites you!"
Song Yuan dusted his clothes and followed the boy.
The Cheng family has been in the south for thousands of years, so there are many rules in the family. Especially after cooperating with Famous Sword Academy, the family's senior leaders saw the rapid growth of the family in the central area and were very fond of some of their family's rules.
Thinking about my family, although it has a long history, it is still regarded as barbarians by the families in the central region, and it does not have the temperament of an ordinary noble at all. Therefore, the ancestors of the Cheng family learned from the painful experience and strictly controlled the children of the family. After thousands of years, they finally had some noble background.
But even so, in terms of family management, the Cheng family was forced to do some secret activities due to the pressure from the Famous Sword Academy and other major forces.
As far as Song Yuan knew, the nine elders of the Cheng family were all brothers of the head of the family, Cheng Maoqing. Among them, the third elder, Cheng Maogong, and the ninth elder, Cheng Maoyuan, are responsible for the family's external dealings. They have been among monks and thieves since childhood. At best, they have traveled around the world, and at worst, they have been among horse bandits and thugs.
But these two people are very fond of the family's rules, especially the ninth elder Cheng Maoyuan, who always looks like a gentle gentleman. As long as the disciples and deacons below have a slight arrogance in their behavior, it will be as minor as a He would be scolded at first and then punched and kicked at the worst.
Therefore, among the children of the Cheng family, the one who fears the most is not the head of the family, Cheng Maoqing, but the ninth elder, Cheng Maoyuan. It was precisely because Song Yuan knew the other party's virtue that he did not dare to slack off and followed the young man to meet him in a polite manner.
Not long after leaving, Song Yuan arrived at Cheng Maoyuan's wing. The latter was sitting high on an imperial chair. He waved his hand to the young man, and the young man left without hesitation.
He glanced at Song Yuan and asked calmly: "Shopkeeper Song, what do you have to do with this elder?"
Song Yuan sat upright and hurriedly told Cheng Maoyuan exactly what happened before. Finally, he said: "Elder, I think this is an opportunity. Not to mention the precious Xuanyuan Dan, even those herbal resources can increase the income of the alchemy shop several times!"
Cheng Maoyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is Xuanyuan Pill really that magical?"
"Yes, I broke through the middle stage of Nascent Soul not long ago. Originally, it would take more than half a year to reach the peak of the middle stage. But with just such a pill, it only takes two hours to break through to the peak. Its effect is better than Hunyuan Dan is at least ten times stronger!"
"Who is the other party? How many people are there?"
"That kid is in his early twenties, and his cultivation should be in the late Nascent Soul stage. He refuses to tell me his name. From what he said, there is another master who should be a master of alchemy!"
"Master of alchemy? Are you sure?"
"I'm 80% sure. I've seen the Xuanyuan Dan. It took no more than ten days to refine it. It must have been refined nearby, and it's of high quality. He should be a fifth-grade alchemy master!"
"Huh? Since he is a master of alchemy, his cultivation level should not be very high. Even if it is high, his combat power will not be very strong. This trip of red goods has something to do! Oh no, this trip of business has to do it!" Cheng Maoyuan said I was so excited that I almost even said bad words.
There are only two monks, and they bring so many materials and resources, as well as the realm of fifth-grade alchemy. Isn't this a big cabbage delivered to the door? This business without capital is difficult to do, what kind of business is easy to do?
