Lu Ping's Air of Poverty Faded a Little
OMG, Little C, you scared me...
Lu Ping quickly looked at Little A and Little B and washed their eyes.
Lu Ping then sighed inwardly.
How could an old fox like Shen Yaoxin easily surrender?
Moreover, the two are still in their honeymoon period, so there's no need to cause any trouble.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You stand up, walk to the edge of the cliff overlooking the cave abode, and watch the sea of clouds roll in.]
[Your message to Shen Yaoxin is certainly not simply out of loyalty to the sect.]
[Your joining the Azure Cloud Sect gives Shen Yaoxin an unknown Spirit Transformation card in his hand.]
In the struggle with the northern sects, the unknown nuclear deterrent is the most valuable asset.
[If you just rush straight to the Blood Demon Sect right now and beat up or kill the Blood Demon Ancestor.]
[Then Shen Yaoxin owes you a huge favor; it's like you've overdrawn the entire value of a fifty-year contract in one go.]
[After you've finished, you just walk away, and he doesn't even have an excuse to stop you.]
[But now, he won't let you do it.]
[As long as you, this great deity, still hold the Grand Supreme Elder in the Azure Cloud Sect, even if you travel to the ends of the earth, those old monsters in the north will have to be on guard day and night against you descending from the sky at any moment.]
[As long as you don't take action, you'll have to faithfully fulfill your verbal promise to "stay for fifty years."]
[You sighed inwardly. Old silver coins, worthy of my study.]
[Since Shen Yaoxin doesn't intend to use you as a trump card, that means one thing.]
The matter of the Mystic Marrow Jade Mine on the northern border is still under his control.
[Based on your memory of the last simulation, this localized resource friction will soon escalate into a financial storm sweeping across most of the cultivation world.]
[Mystic Marrow Jade Financial Crisis.]
The prelude to this storm has now begun.
You withdrew your gaze from the sea of clouds and touched your Storage Ring, which was now empty, holding only a few million Spirit Stones.
[You've worn the title of the poorest Spirit Transformation Divine Lord in history long enough.]
[The most skilled trader Shen Yuerong, is still waiting for you in Qingyang City.]
[You form hand seals to erase all traces within the cave abode.]
[The Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak flows like water over your body, controlling your aura to the Nascent Soul Realm.]
[You rode your Escape Light, silently leaving Xiaolai Peak and heading straight for Qingyang City.]
You walked into the Azure Dragon Merchant Association in Qingyang City with practiced ease.
[This is your first time here in this simulation, but you could find the private room's furnishings and the corner of the staircase with your eyes closed.]
[Soon, you met Shen Yuerong.]
[You sat upright in the main seat, without deliberately concealing the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak Soul pressure simulated by the Formless Nascent Soul Breaths Cloak.]
[Shen Yuerong pushed open the door and entered the room. Before her hand had even left the doorframe, her steps faltered slightly, and her breath hitched a little.]
[However, when she looked up and her gaze fell on your face, she was slightly taken aback.]
[Work from Home, effective.]
[Friend of Women, in effect.]
[Workwear Thugs, in effect.]
[Her well-rehearsed set of polite phrases caught in her throat as they reached her lips.]
[She inexplicably felt that although your aura was imposing, making the entire private room feel heavy, your posture while sitting there was undeniably captivating.]
[Logically, being pressured like this by a high-level cultivator would usually make her wary and annoyed. But at this moment, she couldn't muster even the slightest aversion.]
Shen Yuerong shifted her gaze downwards, avoiding direct eye contact, but a thought couldn't help but flash through her mind.
This mysterious senior is not only incredibly skilled in cultivation, but also exceptionally handsome.
[The thought flashed through her mind, but Shen Yuerong immediately adopted an extremely respectful posture and bowed deeply.]
"I was unaware of your presence, senior. I Shen Yuerong, have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."
[Options pop up.]
[A: Resource fulfillment was completed as planned.]
[B: Unleashing overwhelming power to intimidate the entire audience, forcibly selling the goods at three times the cost price.]
[C: You slightly raised your head, your eyes slanted downwards, revealing an expression that was three parts indifference, three parts mockery, and four parts nonchalance. You suddenly stood up, your Nascent Soul aura transforming into a pink storm that pinned her against the doorframe: "Ha, woman! A mere Golden Core cultivator, yet you dare to covet my beauty? Don't use such false politeness to cover up your inappropriate desires! Want my body? Turn left at the door, and first pay a registration fee of three million two hundred thousand Spirit Stones to get in line!"]
Little C, it's not impossible...
Lu Ping shook his head and obediently chose A.
[You chose A.]
[With a wave of your hand, several Storage Rings are neatly arranged on the table.]
"Take inventory and convert everything into Spirit Stones."
Shen Yuerong dared not delay, and stepped forward to undo the Restrictions one by one, probing them with her Divine Sense.
Her expression grew more serious with each Storage Ring she probed into.
[Inside the Storage Ring were hundreds of finished Spirit Gathering Formation plates and small illusion Formation Flags, as well as thousands of low- to mid-level Talisman, and numerous Random Teleportation Talisman and Invisibility Talisman.]
[Although these items are not of high grade, the runes and aura on each piece are extremely stable, with almost no flaws.]
"Please wait a moment, senior. I will personally count them for you."
[Shen Yuerong moved with extreme speed; half an incense stick later, she raised her head, her expression becoming even more respectful.]
"All Formation Plates, Magic Talisman, and Pills are valued at a total of 6.05 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
"According to the Chamber of Commerce's rules, I'll value you at 6,250,000 Spirit Stones. Is that acceptable?"
You picked up the cup of Spirit Tea on the table, took a sip, and nodded inwardly.
Shen Yuerong's professional skills are indeed very strong.
Even with your deliberate pressure, she didn't lose her composure and quickly offered a reasonable price.
[This is the result of your month-long seclusion, you old monster at the Spirit Transformation stage.]
[These things, though mass-produced on your assembly line, are all technology, devoid of any emotion.]
[Moreover, it is primarily used by Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators.]
[But it's not practical.]
[Especially those Random Teleportation Talisman, each one costs ten thousand Spirit Stones on the market, and you just took out a hundred of them this time.]
[As for you, you can refine twenty Random Teleportation Talisman per hour. If it weren't for the limited spiritual materials, you could even produce more than seven thousand in a month.]
[Ultimately, the resources of this world limit your potential as a cheater.]
[Of course, if so many were thrown out at once, the entire Qingyang Domain's teleportation talisman market would collapse on the spot.]
With this income, even the smell of poverty in your breath seemed to fade a bit.
You nodded slightly, but did not immediately put away the Spirit Stone pouch.
You pushed over a list of medicinal herbs that you had already prepared.
"Prepare the goods according to this order."
Shen Yuerong took the Jade Slip and scanned it with her Divine Sense.
[A massive amount of Qi-Gathering Pills and Qi-Consolidating Pills materials.]
Her heart skipped a beat again.
[With such a massive demand for materials, this senior's consumption is comparable to that of a medium-sized sect.]
"Please wait a moment, senior."
[She turned and left, returning an hour later with an apologetic expression.]
"Senior, most of the materials you requested are available in the guild's warehouse. However... a few of the rare, high- Earth Grade herbs are extremely rare, practically impossible to find in the entire Azure Yang Central Region."
You nodded, as expected.
[The main ingredients for Creation Spirit-Promoting Dew, Spirit-Binding Gauze, Small Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill are not something that can be easily gathered in just one Central Region.]
[You've taken all the medicinal herbs, leaving you with only 2.8 million Spirit Stones from clearing out your inventory.]
[Poverty strikes again.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Feeling desperate because of poverty, I decisively stopped and left, determined to protect my 2.8 million yuan life savings.]
[B: A horse won't get fat without night grass! Since we've got the Shen Yuerong Mystic Marrow Jade plummeting in price, how can we not sell? Let's add some more Spirit Stones to set up the scheme in advance and immediately team up with Shen Yue Rong to manipulate the market.]
[C: You scan the surroundings with a gleaming eye: I see the Azure Dragon Merchant Association is quite wealthy, and the manager is rather attractive! You pull out a black stocking hoodie, unfold the snakeskin bag, and grin maliciously: "Don't move a thing! Pack up the land deeds, the Supreme-Grade Spirit Medicine, and Manager Shen—I'm going to buy them all for free and take them back to Xiaolai Peak as my bandit queens!"]
