Give Fifty Billion First

Indeed, as Niu Youde said, it was impossible for him to consume all the Restriction Breaking Pill. The entire World Commerce Association, even with its vast resources, could probably scrape together 50 billion in cash. Although the World Commerce Association's total assets exceeded 50 billion, once it produced this 50 billion in cash, its working capital would dry up, and this behemoth of the Cultivation World Commerce Association would collapse due to lack of funds. Even if other forces wanted to help, they wouldn't have such substantial financial resources to save it.

But I have my own methods! Yin Baikang laughed and said, "Judging from what Brother Niu said, it seems that Seven Treasures Pill can also be obtained in large quantities?"

"You still want to buy up a large quantity of Seven Treasures Pill?" Yue Qianchou asked suspiciously. He was already on guard. He couldn't figure out this guy's background, but he was certain that Yin Baikang was definitely not a spendthrift with money to burn. To be able to create such a huge business miracle in the Cultivation World, he must be quite shrewd.

"That's good." Yin Baikang nodded and said, "Like I said, I'll pay first and then pick up the goods. Brother Niu can rest assured."

Damn it! What's this guy up to? Yue Qianchou immediately said, "I can't sell you the Seven Treasures Pill. I've already promised to give it to someone else."

These words immediately made Yin Baikang nervous. What use was Restriction Breaking Pill without Seven Treasures Pill? The Seven Treasures Pill in their possession could completely restrain his Restriction Breaking Pill. He couldn't help but ask, "I wonder which force has managed to get there before me?"

"Hehe! I don't belong to any particular faction. I can't go around spreading my origins. Besides you, only one other person knows my background. Who else could it be?" Yue Qianchou laughed.

Yin Baikang paused for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "Are you talking about Yue Qianchou?"

"That's right, it's Yue Qianchou." Yue Qianchou shook his head with a helpless expression and said, "Back in the Misty Forest, I unintentionally owed him a small favor. Coincidentally, his cultivation had just reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul, so I gave him a Seven Treasures Pill, which helped him break through to the early Tribulation stage. Seeing that I had quite a few Seven Treasures Pill, he begged me to sell him some, saying he wanted to resell them for Spirit Stone during the Treasure Gathering Basin Convention. At the time, I wasn't familiar with the situation in this realm, and I was blinded by greed, so I actually discussed reselling Seven Treasures Pill with him. In the end, I even agreed to sell the Seven Treasures Pill only to him."

Yin Baikang was speechless. It really was that guy. No wonder his cultivation had broken through to the early Tribulation stage Realm as soon as he came out of the Misty Forest. So that's how it was. His luck was just too good! He said somewhat unhappily, "That kid is no good. Where would he get the money to buy the Seven Treasures Pill from you? He might be trying to cheat Brother Niu."

Damn it! You're no good either! Yue Qianchou's expression twitched as he said, "Brother Yin, you're mistaken! Yue Qianchou paid a deposit of 500 million high-grade Spirit Stones in advance, so there's no reason for him to cheat me. On the contrary, I haven't delivered the goods to him yet. When I get back this time, I'll immediately raise the Seven Treasures Pill for him."

"He can come up with 500 million high-grade Spirit Stones?" Yin Baikang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and stared at Yue Qianchou, saying, "Brother Niu, I heard from my subordinates that you asked Guan Zhongkai about killing Yue Qianchou in exchange for Spirit Stone. Why is that?"

"Hehe! As I said before, it was purely to test whether your World Commerce Association is truly financially powerful. I wouldn't go so far as to kill Yue Qianchou; we have some connections," Yue Qianchou laughed.

"Yue Qianchou's financial resources are limited. Brother Niu, how about you consider selling me the Seven Treasures Pill..."

Before Yin Baikang could finish speaking, Yue Qianchou waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Although I like money, I have to keep my promises once I've taken someone's money. Even thieves have their code of honor. No matter how Yue Qianchou I am, I will never break my word. This is my principle in life. Even if Brother Yin gave me more money, I would not do that. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Yin Baikang nodded approvingly. Coming from a business background, he naturally enjoyed dealing with people of integrity, especially those unmoved by enormous wealth. But he still hesitated, saying, "Brother Niu, what use are so many Restriction Breaking Pills to me without Seven Treasures Pill?"

"That's true!" Yue Qianchou pondered. "How about this? I'll talk to Yue Qianchou and have him supply the goods exclusively to your World Commerce Association at the original price. That way, I won't be breaking my promise."

"Will he agree?" Yin Baikang was somewhat doubtful. After all, Yue Qianchou just wanted to make money, and now that Wen Lanfeng was backing him up, Yue Qianchou didn't need to be afraid of Yin Baikang.

Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. He should listen to me. Besides, I will compensate him for his losses in other ways. The benefits will be no less than this."

He was determined not to give him the Seven Treasures Pill so easily. He knew he wasn't going to sell Yin Baikang the transparent 'Restriction Breaking Pill' or the purple 'True Restriction Breaking Pill,' but rather the red 'False Restriction Breaking Pill,' a counterfeit that could kill someone. Once someone broke through to the early Tribulation stage, the fake would immediately be exposed. The longer the Seven Treasures Pill was delayed, the less likely the fake would be to be exposed, allowing him to sell more.

"Hehe! This method works." Yin Baikang was satisfied now, but suddenly asked doubtfully, "Brother Niu, that kid Yue Qianchou said that the Ascension Platform is the burial place of the Myriad Sword Demon Lord. Is that true?"

"Only you guys would believe this. The Myriad Sword Demon Lord was a mortal enemy of the Immortal Realm in High Antiquity times. How could his burial place be at the entrance to the Immortal Realm?" Yue Qianchou shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know why that guy spread this news. When I see him again, I'll have to ask him..."

He paused suddenly, then hesitated, "Brother Yin, let's not talk about him. But you, can you really consume so many Restriction Breaking Pills? That's no small sum!"

"To be honest, Brother Niu, such a large sum of money is indeed beyond the reach of our World Commerce Association. However, we can resell it and make a profit from it." Yin Baikang chuckled and said, "Brother Niu, don't laugh at me. Our World Commerce Association is dedicated to business, so we will naturally take advantage of any opportunity to make money."

"Oh! I see." Yue Qianchou feigned sudden realization. Inwardly, however, he was cursing. "Old fox, still refusing to tell the truth. It would be a miracle if I believed you. Would you, Yin Baikang, be so kind as to stand by and watch other forces grow stronger?"

I won't say anything explicitly. Anyway, I control the supply and can cut off his supply at any time. I want to see what kind of tricks he's up to.

"I wonder when Brother Niu will return to the Immortal Realm to purchase the Restriction Breaking Pill. The day of the Treasure Gathering Basin Convention is not far away, just six days from now."

This was a way of urging him on. Yue Qianchou smiled and said, "You can go back anytime. I wonder how many Restriction Breaking Pill you want for your first batch?"

Yin Baikang held up one finger and said calmly, "Ten thousand."

Yue Qianchou was startled and asked suspiciously, "That's 10 billion high-grade Spirit Stones. You're paying first and then taking delivery?"

"Not bad, 10 billion high-grade Spirit Stones. I keep my word, pay first and then take the goods." Yin Baikang remained calm.

In truth, he wasn't entirely confident. Ten billion was no small sum. The largest transaction he'd ever made so far was only two billion high-grade Spirit Stones, and that was under the condition that he had the financial capacity to handle it, with payment made on delivery. A situation like this, where the other party might abscond and be impossible to find, and requiring a ten billion payment upfront, was simply too risky.

But Yin Baikang is Yin Baikang, no one else. His business acumen, courage, and vision are unmatched. One of his business principles is that fortune favors the bold; there's no such thing as easy money without taking risks.

And most importantly, he wanted to show Niu Youde his wealth and power. Only by throwing a huge sum of money at Niu Youde, making this immortal's heart flutter, would the benefits in the future naturally emerge.

This is essentially a gamble. And a high-stakes one at that. If the transaction goes smoothly, he wins; if the other party absconds with the money, he loses big. But Yin Baikang is determined to take the gamble. If he loses, he'll only lose 10 billion high-grade Spirit Stones, which his World Commerce Association can afford. If he wins, he'll establish a connection with the Immortal Realm, bringing benefits far exceeding those 10 billion.

To gamble or not to gamble? If given another chance to choose, Yin Baikang would still decide to take the gamble.

Yue Qianchou was somewhat stunned by Yin Baikang's grand gesture, and he suspected that there was a conspiracy...

He was now somewhat hesitant to accept the 10 billion, even though he could take the money and run. However, the matter of the Restriction Breaking Pill was imperative. Otherwise, if his master went to the Eastern Pole Sacred Land, he couldn't salvage the defeat of the Huaxia Cultivation World with his current abilities. He had to deliver a heavy blow to the powers of the various nations. Otherwise, the Huaxia Cultivation World would be completely transformed, Shi Wenguang's army would be utterly vulnerable, and all preparations would be in vain. Some things, no amount of money could undo.

"You're going to pay me 10 billion high-grade Spirit Stones in advance?" Yue Qianchou asked again to confirm. He was a little incredulous at how smoothly things were going. He had always been determined to make a fortune, but now that the time was right, he hesitated.

"That's right. As long as Brother Niu nods, 10 billion high-grade Spirit Stones will be yours immediately." Yin Baikang's words couldn't be more decisive. Once a decision is made, there's no point in being petty; it would be superfluous and meaningless. Anyway, there's no turning back.

To dare to spend 10 billion high-grade Spirit Stones in one go, and to do so so decisively and readily—this kind of boldness and ability is probably only possessed by Yin Baikang in the entire world.

"This..." Yue Qianchou pondered, "Since Brother Yin is so generous, I can't ruin the deal. I'm still worried about the risks of getting 10,000 Restriction Breaking Pill at once. Just in case, how about 5,000 first? Give me 5 billion first, that'll be enough."

"Haha!" Yin Baikang laughed heartily. He was even more reassured by Niu Youde's words. If the other party truly intended to abscond with the money, there was no reason to refuse another fifty billion. He immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Good! Fifty billion it is, Brother Niu. Brother Niu, please wait a moment!"
