Coming to His Door to Discuss Cooperation?
"Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild?"
Su Chen frowned slightly; he already knew about these outsiders as soon as they arrived in the Xuantian Realm.
He just hadn't expected that they had come for the Su Family.
"Yes, the person who came is named An Ruoxuan. She said she is the branch President of the Treasure Seeking Pavilion and came here to discuss a business deal with us."
An Ruoxuan...
Su Chen was unfamiliar with the name, but he had heard of the Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild. Su Anshan had previously shown him detailed information about Rizhao City.
This Trade Association was mentioned in one of them.
The Leading Trade Association in the Northern Nether Empire, and this Branch is ranked number one in Rizhao City.
But what kind of business could she possibly discuss with me?
Su Chen looked towards the foot of Wangyun Mountain again, where two people were standing. In front of her was a charming woman, and behind her was an Old Man.
His Cultivation Level was also quite high, peak Primordial Golden Immortal.
After thinking for a moment, Su Chen stood up and said, "Alright, let's meet them then."
The Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild is primarily a business organization. Since their branch President came to discuss cooperation, he must have seen through the Su Family's needs.
In that case, it wouldn't hurt to meet him.
Normally, this kind of thing wouldn't be something Su Chen would have to handle.
However, Su Qingtian and the others have been busy outside these past few days, leaving him as the only remaining member of the Su Family's upper echelons, so he has to make many decisions.
The Guest Reception Hall Wangyun Mountain.
Upon seeing Su Chen enter, An Ruoxuan immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
"This humble girl, the President of the Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild, pays her respects to you, Senior."
Knowing that the person before her was a powerful Immortal Lord, An Ruoxuan dared not let her guard down.
The Old Man behind her also quickly bowed.
Su Chen waved to the two of them, gesturing for them to sit down, and then Past towards the main seat.
Han Xi followed obediently behind him, and when Su Chen sat down, she placed her soft hands on Su Chen's shoulders and gently massaged them.
Only after Su Chen sat down did An Ruoxuan dare to slowly sit down herself.
"Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"
Su Chen looked at the person in front of him with great interest.
An Ruoxuan went straight to the point with Su Chen, without beating around the bush, and her expression remained extremely respectful throughout.
"Senior, let me briefly introduce myself. I am the branch President of the Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild. Our Trade Association is the number one Trade Association in the Northern Nether Empire, possessing countless treasures and resources. Basically, anything you want can be found in our Northern Underworld Trade Association."
"I've come to the Xuantian Realm today specifically to help you solve your problem, Senior."
Su Chen nodded, then gestured for her to continue.
"Senior, you are an Immortal Lord, and you are developing this force called the Divine Court. Your ambitions must be great. However, I have also done some research on the scale and strength of the Divine Court these past two days. Apart from Senior, everyone else is... very weak."
"The cooperation I wish to discuss is to help you, Senior, develop and expand your Great God Court. In return, all items from my Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild will be sold to Senior at below-market prices."
According to her estimates, if the Divine Court wanted to truly develop into a power similar to the Northern Nether Empire, or even replace it, it would need a massive amount of resources and treasures.
Although he might sell at a lower price, the profit margin is still incredibly high if the quantity is large.
Su Chen raised an eyebrow; so this was the collaboration she was referring to.
To be honest, this is indeed a sore point for the Divine Court.
Because the people in the Divine Court were almost all from the Su Family, or cultivators from the Xuantian Realm, and all of them had very low cultivation levels.
Although he possessed many resources, they were ultimately not as abundant as those of the Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild.
Although consuming Immortal Crystal can also rapidly increase Cultivation Level, it is still not as good as pure Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Pill.
Su Chen was just preparing to find a place to convert his Immortal Crystal into more useful treasures when An Ruoxuan came to him.
Although An Ruoxuan looks young, she has been in business for hundreds of thousands of years and is extremely skilled at reading people and situations.
Upon seeing Su Chen's expression, she immediately sensed that something was amiss.
A cultivator who reaches the level of Immortal Lord cannot be poor; even the things they casually give away are definitely not cheap.
Even if there isn't as much cooperation later on, with the purchasing power of Immortal Lord, helping them win first Clan Competition is definitely not a problem.
Su Chen didn't answer directly, but instead smiled faintly and said, "You've got quite the nerve, coming all alone to my Xuantian Realm. Aren't you afraid of some unexpected incident?"
Upon hearing these words, the Old Man behind An Ruoxuan immediately became serious.
Although he couldn't defeat a cultivator of Su Chen's level, he would risk his life to protect An Ruoxuan if necessary.
At the very least, he has to die before her.
Although An Ruoxuan was somewhat flustered, she maintained a smile, "I am merely a district guild President, of no value whatsoever to a powerful figure like you, sir."
"Besides, this is the Xuantian Realm, your territory, sir. Who would dare kill my daughter here?"
Su Chen chuckled twice, then stood up:
"Let's go back."
Ah?
An Ruoxuan's smile froze instantly. She had thought it was going to work out based on Su Chen's expression just now, but now she was being rejected.
Why?
Isn't this a win-win situation for both sides?
They still felt that the Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild was too small and wouldn't be of enough interest to the other party. But the Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild was the number one Trade Association in the Northern Nether Empire. Who could be better than them?
Countless questions popped into An Ruoxuan's mind, but just then, a voice sounded at the door again.
"President An, please go back first. I will visit you another day."
He also planned to exchange the Immortal Crystal for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and the required quantity was extremely large. It would be more efficient to go directly to the Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild for such matters.
Upon hearing this, An Ruoxuan's worry vanished, and she smiled again.
"Yes!"
"Your humble servant awaits your arrival at the Treasure Seeking Merchant Guild."
Although she wore a smile and appeared very proper on the surface, she was secretly overjoyed.
It's done!
In a daze, she seemed to already see the Steward Position beckoning to her.
After returning to the summit of Wangyun Mountain, Han Xi pouted and said:
"Master, I have a feeling this person is up to no good."
Su Chen smiled slightly and said calmly, "Since someone has come to us for cooperation, it's naturally beneficial for her as well."
"But none of that matters anymore. As long as I can buy Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at a lower price, that's good for me."
The Divine Court does indeed need resources right now; that is an indisputable fact.
Although he possessed many Top-tier Treasures, he lacked commonly used cultivation resources, relying almost entirely on Immortal Crystal instead.
There are also many rare cultivation treasures, but these things are definitely limited in number, at least not enough to support the entire Divine Court's use.
