Immortal Realm Peddler

"A divine... divine... divine-grade Spirit Stones?" Yin Baikang's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, his expression unreadable. This caused the dignified late Spirit Transformation stage expert to weakly ask, "Brother Niu, are you talking about divine-grade Spirit Stones? Did I hear you correctly?"

"Sigh! Look at me, I always forget this." Yue Qianchou raised his hand and slapped his forehead, smiling wryly. "I forgot this is the mortal realm, not the immortal realm. Where would I get divine-grade Spirit Stones?" As he spoke, he slapped the Storage Bag at his waist, and a black shadow flashed out. With a pinch of two fingers, it flipped between his fingers like magic.

The black, shiny luster shimmered between his fingers, and Yin Baikang stared in disbelief. But then Niu Youde flicked his finger, and with a crisp "ding," a dark shadow shot out.

Yin Baikang grabbed it, and in his palm lay something exactly like Spirit Stone, but it was black, unlike anything he had ever seen before, its black luster incredibly alluring. He gently clenched his fist, channeling his Divine Sense into it, and immediately sensed the immense Spiritual Qi it contained—it was incredibly powerful. He simply couldn't believe that such a small piece of crystal could contain so much Spiritual Qi.

"Divine-grade Spirit Stones, it truly is the legendary divine-grade divine-grade Spirit Stones..." Yin Baikang murmured, opening his palm to look at the black crystal, a hint of excitement creeping into his eyes. He'd never even seen supreme-grade Spirit Stones before, let alone a divine-grade one. He'd only heard rumors of one appearing at an auction in the Huaxia Cultivation World. He never expected to see a supreme-grade Spirit Stones -divine-grade Spirit Stones today; even with his immense wealth, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Controlling the world's largest business organization, his knowledge was undoubtedly vast, but what Niu Youde presented today repeatedly assaulted his senses. These were all things he had never seen before, making him feel like a frog in a well, so ignorant!

At this point, his last remaining doubt was dispelled, and he completely believed that Niu Youde was indeed from the Celestial Realm; otherwise, where would he get so many things that could never be seen in the mortal world? Little did he know, this was exactly Yue Qianchou had been hoping for.

"Brother Yin, um, I'm short on cash, I only have this one piece..." Yue Qianchou reminded him, beckoning with his finger toward the thing in Yin Baikang's hand.

"Huh? Oh!" Yin Baikang realized what was happening and reluctantly returned the divine-grade Spirit Stones, watching helplessly as Niu Youde stuffed it into his Storage Bag.

"One divine-grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for one hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones. That means a storage bracelet is worth three hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones," Yue Qianchou said.

"Three hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones?" Yin Baikang was stunned and said incredulously, "So expensive? At this price, you could buy one hundred million Storage Bag that can hold the capacity of three rooms."

"You don't know this," Yue Qianchou shook his head and sighed, "Let me put it this way! In the Immortal Realm, the use of divine-grade Spirit Stones is as widespread as that of high-grade Spirit Stones here, and supreme-grade Spirit Stones are like mid-grade Spirit Stones. And high-grade Spirit Stones are like low-grade Spirit Stones. The experts in the supreme-grade Spirit Stones, with their cultivation levels, would find it troublesome and too slow to absorb spiritual Spiritual Qi from top-grade divine-grade Spirit Stones. They generally absorb the Spiritual Qi from divine-grade spirit stones. Like Brother Yin, if you were absorbing Spiritual Qi, would you have gathered a bunch of low-grade Spirit Stones?"

"No." Yin Baikang shook his head and said, "I only use high-grade Spirit Stones, and I'm too lazy to even use mid-grade Spirit Stones."

"That's why! It's the same principle." Yue Qianchou laughed and said, "The price ratio in the Immortal Realm is indeed a bit too high from our perspective. But in the Immortal Realm, everyone is used to it."

"Brother Niu, please stop talking. I understand. Forget about the storage bracelet; it's not worth buying. I can just use Storage Bag for things." Yin Baikang smiled wryly, then suddenly frowned and asked in confusion, "According to you, Brother Niu, how much is that Restriction Breaking Pill worth in the Immortal Realm?"

"Restriction Breaking Pill are very cheap in the Immortal Realm, and their cost-effectiveness is as common as the Qi Replenishing Pill sold here," Yue Qianchou said dismissively. "One Restriction Breaking Pill costs ninety supreme-grade Spirit Stones. I plan to sell them for one hundred supreme-grade Spirit Stones each, and make a profit of ten supreme-grade Spirit Stones per pill."

Yin Baikang gasped, dumbfounded, and said, "If we convert it to high-grade Spirit Stones, that means each one would cost one million high-grade Spirit Stones?"

"Brother Yin thinks it's too expensive?" Yue Qianchou frowned and said, "How about this! I'm a little short on cash lately. Lend me your ten billion first, and I'll get a batch of Restriction Breaking Pill to sell. Anyway, the Treasure Gathering Basin Convention about to start, and ten billion can buy more than a thousand Restriction Breaking Pill. I believe that the purchasing power of those hundreds of forces in the Cultivation World will not be a problem to consume more than a thousand Restriction Breaking Pill."

"Ah... you're going to sell the Restriction Breaking Pill to various kingdoms?" Yin Baikang was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Yue Qianchou continued muttering calculations, head down. "I believe a country's power should be able to come up with 100 million high-grade Spirit Stones without any problem. With over 300 countries, that's over 30 billion. One Restriction Breaking Pill is worth one million, and if I make 100,000 on each one, I can earn a 3 billion profit from the 30 billion. This is a very conservative estimate of purchasing power; my initial estimate is that I can earn 5 billion without any problem. In addition, there's the most prosperous Huaxia Cultivation World Cultivation World, where there are numerous sects, and quite a few of them can come up with 1 billion. I can make another fortune there..."

The more he calculated, the more excited he became. Finally, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Yin, I guarantee I can easily pay you back your ten billion high-grade Spirit Stones in less than a month. Lend me the ten billion for a month, and I promise to pay it back on time. What do you say? I'll even give you interest."

"I..." Yin Baikang stared at him speechlessly for a while, thinking, "If you use the Restriction Breaking Pill to make all the other forces stronger, will my World Commerce Association still have a place? Imagine, all the forces in the various countries are at least at the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Given the uneven quality of the World Commerce Association, I'm afraid it won't be long before many forces want to replace it. What's the point of continuing then!"

"What?" Yue Qianchou said somewhat unhappily, "Brother Yin, do you not want to lend me this money? Since you don't want to lend it, then forget it, I'll pay you back now. I'll talk to other forces, and if that doesn't work, I can just use the money I have on me to do some more business. But let me make this clear from the start, business is business, but friendship is important. Don't reveal my identity and background, lest we fall out later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached into his Storage Bag and took something out... making it seem like the real thing.

"Brother Niu, Brother Niu, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that." Yin Baikang held his hand, both amused and exasperated, and said with a wry smile, "It's not what you think. What I meant was, I'll eat all one thousand Restriction Breaking Pill worth ten billion high-grade Spirit Stones by myself, so you won't have to sell them anymore."

Hearing this, his heart ached... A single Restriction Breaking Pill was supposedly worth one million high-grade Spirit Stones, which, judging by its intrinsic value, wasn't expensive, in fact, well worth the price. Of course, this only applied to individuals. If it were for his own use, with such miraculous effects, one hundred million spirit stones wouldn't be too expensive. But if it were for large-scale use, that would be an astronomical figure, a massive number, ridiculously expensive.

The crucial point is that he doesn't actually need the Restriction Breaking Pill; he only wants to buy them to improve the cultivation levels of everyone in the World Commerce Association. If he were to buy ten thousand pills, it would cost ten billion... However, the World Commerce Association has far more than ten thousand disciples, and besides, not everyone can reach the Tribulation Transcendence stage with just one pill. Many people need several pills. Furthermore, after each disciple takes Restriction Breaking Pill, a large amount of Spirit Stone will be needed to assist in improving their cultivation. At that point, the consumption of Spirit Stone will be terrifying; even the World Commerce Association, with its immense wealth, will find it difficult to cope.

However, not buying them isn't an option either. If a large number of the Restriction Breaking Pill fall into the hands of other forces, it will definitely not be good for the World Commerce Association. It might even bring about its annihilation. Rather than perish, it's better to suffer the temporary pain. In the long run, the short-term pain is worthwhile. As long as the overall strength of the World Commerce Association increases, wealth will naturally flow in.

"You want all 1,000 Restriction Breaking Pill worth 1 billion?" Yue Qianchou asked in surprise.

"Not bad," Yin Baikang nodded through gritted teeth. He had initially thought Niu Youde could refine pills, and also assumed his cultivation was inferior to his own, so he planned to recruit Niu Youde to his side. Who would have thought this guy's background was so outrageous—he was actually Reception Envoy from the Immortal Realm, and his cultivation was even higher than his own! Damn it! He couldn't scold him, he couldn't hit him, and he had to deal with him carefully; it was incredibly frustrating.

"This guy's got nothing better to do than stay in the celestial realm. Why does he have to come down to the mortal world? He's caused so much trouble! No, the real culprit is that damned Yue Qianchou. If it weren't for that bastard, how could he have lured this immortal down to the mortal realm..." Yin Baikang gritted his teeth in hatred.

"The World Commerce Association is indeed very wealthy!" Yue Qianchou exclaimed, giving a thumbs up. But then he shook his head and said, "Brother Yin, I'm really sorry, I can't let you eat it all."

Yin Baikang was taken aback and said, "Why? It doesn't matter who you sell to, you'll make money either way. Just sell it to our World Commerce Association in one go, and you won't have to go through any trouble."

"No, no, no, it's completely different." Yue Qianchou waved his hand and said, "Think about it! I already owe you 1 billion. If I sell the Restriction Breaking Pill to you, you won't have to pay, and then I won't have much working capital left. Selling it to someone else is different. I can pre-order a batch of goods in the Immortal Realm. After I get the Restriction Breaking Pill Spirit Stone, I can immediately return to the Immortal Realm to resell it. This way, I can resell it repeatedly, and the compound interest is quite considerable. If I give it all to you, it will cut off a lot of my working capital, and I will earn much less. It's really not worth it."

Yin Baikang was dumbfounded. He realized that Niu Youde himself; he had a real business mind! Interest compounded! He stood there speechless for a long time, truly at a loss for words...
