After agreeing on the price, the next matter was how to conduct the transaction.
Huangfu Wuyan said, "The Immortal Valley currently has only a little over one hundred bowls of Hundred-Life Yellow Millet in stock. We can give you one hundred bowls first, then ten bowls every year for the remainder. Once you receive the hundred bowls of Hundred-Life Yellow Millet, you must immediately hand over the Seven-Colored Divine Wheel divine ability to the Immortal Valley."
Jiang Ping'an said, "I want to receive one hundred and fifty bowls of Hundred-Life Yellow Millet before I hand the Seven-Colored Divine Wheel divine ability over to the Immortal Valley."
"There truly aren't one hundred and fifty bowls of Hundred-Life Yellow Millet in the treasury," Huangfu Wuyan said.
Jiang Ping'an smiled. "Then we can talk again in a few years."
He had been tricked by Huangfu Wuyan before. They had previously agreed that he could exchange for three bowls of Hundred-Life Yellow Millet each year, but Huangfu Wuyan went back on his word after only eight years and had even specifically found a way to advance thirty years' worth of his merit.
Huangfu Wuyan tried to persuade him for quite a while, but Jiang Ping'an simply would not budge.
Huangfu Wuyan once again gathered all the elders except Jiang Ping'an. He explained that Jiang Ping'an insisted on receiving one hundred and fifty bowls of Hundred-Life Yellow Millet before he would surrender the Seven-Colored Divine Wheel divine ability, and asked the elders to lend their Hundred-Life Yellow Millet to the Immortal Valley so they could scrape together one hundred and fifty bowls.
The elders also wanted to obtain the Seven-Colored Divine Wheel divine ability as soon as possible. They did indeed have more or less Hundred-Life Yellow Millet saved up, so they all agreed.
