"I don't know, how many raw materials of "Blazing Sun" and "Aspect Power" do you need?" Sylutia held the folding fan in one hand and imitated Lady Falan and tapped it lightly on the palm of his hand, as if he was not easy to cheat.

"Of course the more the better."

The other party didn't pretend to be reserved and just spoke Lion, saying that he could eat them all.

The girl shook her head slightly. How could she talk about it like this? She hadn't mentioned the terms and remuneration yet.

"Teacher has indeed cultivated a lot of "Blazing Sun" and "Aspect Power" Sunflower, but this has taken a lot of effort, and some of the products have been reserved by friends for a long time and cannot be completely handed over to you." Sylutia declined.

"I understand, so I specially prepared a gift for you this time." It seems that the other party had a premeditated plan.

As if by magic, the capable businessman took out a small box from his cuff. The eight-prism-like box was placed on the table. When he pressed the button, it opened like a lotus, revealing the jade with a strange halo inside.

[Firefly Grape Stone] (Level 2·Emerald Nectar): A very rare emerald fluorescent gemstone, occasionally associated with stalactites, extremely resistant to high temperatures, suitable for the ability extension of "Emerald Nectar" Aspect Power.

Although there is only Aspect Power of First Order, considering the rarity of this gem, its value is probably more than ten times that of the ordinary "First Order" extraordinary thing.

At least one hundred gold coins, the girl secretly estimated.

"This is a special prehnite that can contain the power of "Emerald Nectar" and "Aspect Power" and assist related abilities." If it is made into a ring, it can increase the effect of Sylutia's "Dew Prayer Technique" and "Blossom Method" by about 30%.

"Such gems are indeed very precious, but the deal we negotiated is far less than that." The girl opened her folding fan, half-hiding her face, revealing only her bright blue eyes like gems.

"Don't worry, Miss Anloer, I have prepared something for you." This businessman has really done his homework, no wonder he is confident.

He once again took out a jar of amber liquid from nowhere and placed it on the table. The liquid in it was as viscous as honey and had tiny bubbles, but it was not honey.

"Miss Anloer, this is the rare resin I obtained from Hude Duchy. It can be used in the production of many rare props. It can also be combined with the prehnite just now to make [Tree Jade Spirit Sword], this kind of special weapon."

[Chiffon Pine Resin](First Order·Emerald Nectar): Resin from the extraordinary plant chiffon pine. The output is rare and has a wide range of uses. It is often used in Identification Mirror pieces, jade glass, fine instrument parts, etc.

It is another rare item, but what is [Tree Jade Spirit Sword] he is talking about? Sylutia is the first time I have heard of this term.

As if knowing that Sylutia didn't understand, Lining took a step forward and said, "Please also introduce this gentleman to [Tree Jade Spirit Sword]."

"Of course. In fact, I have a drawing of how [Tree Jade Spirit Sword] is built, which can be given as a gift." The other party took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to the maid.

[Tree Jade Spirit Sword](Emerald Nectar): with Emerald Nectar Aspect Power's [Prehnite] and [Resin] are combined to form a weapon using a special secret method. After being infused with the power of "Emerald Nectar" Aspect Power, it can automatically repair gaps and sharpen Sharpness, and has excellent toughness.

Ordinary steel weapons will inevitably have chips after hitting a hard object, but the sword blade made of resin can be hardened and softened instantly under the control of "Emerald Nectar" Aspect Power, so it has both hardness Sharpness and flexibility resistance. Even if it is chipped, it can be repaired through its own adhesive flow.

A sword blade purely made of resin will inevitably lack hardness Sharpness and be not resistant to high temperatures. However, the properties of prehnite can easily overcome these two points, making the two like a natural combination, achieving a wonderful complement.

Such weapons are exactly what Sylutia, who lacks the means to fight, urgently needs. I don't know how the other party knows this, or it may just be pure speculation, because most gardeners at low levels lack the means to deal with combat.

The fingers of the cuffs slightly touched his chin, Sylutia tilted his head and looked at the things on the table, thinking in his mind.

"Can you tell me how much "Blazing Sun" seed oil you expect to get from the teacher?"

Seeing the girl relent, the man twirled his beard, thought for a moment and replied, "We hope to get at least 500 bottles of "Sun Seed Oil" this time."

Five hundred bottles... Sylutia folded the folding fan and tapped the palms of his hands.

"There are too many. I can only give you three hundred bottles at most."

In fact, there are about seven hundred bottles of Sun Seed Oil in the underground storage room, but these are Lady Falan's inventory for many years, and Sylutia cannot sell the teacher's things all at once.

"Three hundred bottles are fine. We'll buy it for about 3 gold coins per bottle. I don't know if Ms. Anloer can accept it." This price can only be said to be moderate.

Considering that it will take extra time and effort to sell it elsewhere, it can only be said that it is not a loss if sold at such a price, but it is not too profitable.

"Three gold coins per bottle, I can't deal with the teacher." Anloer shook his head.

"At least four gold coins a bottle." She stretched out four slender fingers.

"Okay."

The other party agreed so quickly that Sylutia regretted whether he was good at doing business or not. At least he bargained with her and let her determine whether the price was suitable.

However, since she had promised someone else, she was not the kind of person who would go back on her word temporarily.

"Then let's continue to discuss the transportation and delivery issues." Sylutia knew that relying on herself this time was not enough. She raised her hand and asked Lining to approach.

"Go and ask Mrs. Cali from the Gardener Guild and tell her that I have a business issue that I don't understand and I need her help."

"I understand, miss." Lining said he understood and then left the living room.

Not long after, the maid came back, making Sylutia think that the other party had not gone out.

"I have informed Mrs. Cali, she will probably come here soon." Lining did not explain the method of notification, and Sylutia was not in a good position to ask in front of the guests at this time. He just nodded as if he understood.

Regarding Sylutia's behavior of temporarily calling people, the businessman was not angry and just drank tea quietly, as if it was expected.

About ten minutes later, a carriage arrived in front of the mansion. Not long after, Mrs. Cali wearing a dark green dress came in with two attendants.

"Long time no see, Anloer~" She first came to Sylutia and greeted her, then sat down and looked at the man opposite.

"Hello, Mrs. Cali." The man seemed to have heard of the other party's name.

"Hello, but we probably haven't met before." Cali was convinced that this was the first time we met.

"Yes, my name is Albayou, from Wind-Cliff City. I am the representative of the local "Copper Halberd Chamber of Commerce". I am entrusted by the local guild and city owner to purchase key raw materials."

"Copper Halberd Chamber of Commerce, or Wind-Cliff City... It seems that you are purchasing for the military." Cali remembered something.

Copper Halberd Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce that specializes in the production of military equipment. They have many blacksmiths and armorers. Many big nobles will come to them to purchase weapons and equipment for their own guards. Because of the unified procurement of raw materials and manufacturing, Copper Halberd Chamber of Commerce can keep costs down, and its quality is stable, and it has been well received by many customers.

"This time you are actually involved in the treatment medicine business. It seems that you are cooperating with the local Alchemist Guild."

At present, Pharmacist within the Regas Kingdom are basically subordinate to the Alchemist Guild Alliance. Their qualification certification and training methods are all in the hands of the Alchemist Guild, making it difficult for other chambers of commerce to get involved.

"I am a friend of sister Falan. She is not at home today. Anloer is taking care of many things. However, as an elder, I need to help take care of it. Please don't mind, Mr. Albayou." There is no point in minding it. Cali's words are just polite information.

At this moment Cali asked about the previously negotiated price, quantity and conditions, etc. She tapped her fingers and thought, and then spoke.

"Four gold coins is still too little, at least five gold coins per bottle."

"No, no, Mrs. Cali, this price is quite fair and sincere. In fact, I only gave such a generous price for the sake of Miss Anloer." Albayou shook his head.

"The market price of a bottle of Basic Healing Potion is about 20 silver. Its effects include stopping bleeding and preliminary wound healing."

"One bottle of "Sun Seed Oil" is added as a raw material to the refining process, and mixed with other herbs to refine it. You can make 24 bottles of Basic Healing Potion, which is 480 silver coins, or about 4.8 gold coins."

"At this price, we don't have much profit anymore. You still have to consider saving the pharmacist's share." Not only will there be no profit, but there will even be a loss.

"That's not right." Cali also shook his head in denial.

"You only said Basic Healing Potion."

"If you use a bottle of "Sun Seed Oil" as raw material and add it to the production of Intermediate Healing Potion, you can make 8 bottles, and each bottle of intermediate Intermediate Healing Potion sells for 1 gold coin, which is 8 gold coins." From this look, it will indeed be profitable.

"You also know that 1 gold coin per bottle is the retail unit price. The order we give to the military will not be so high, otherwise we will not be able to place an order at all." Albayou argued with reason.

Then the two of them continued to fight, but Albayou seemed to have changed his mind and insisted on the price of 4 gold coins per bottle, which made Cali feel even more unhappy.

Seeing that the negotiations were at an impasse, Sylutia had to come out and interrupt temporarily.

"Let's not discuss the price first, let's talk about delivery and transportation."

"Due to the lack of manpower in the mansion, we can't help you transport it to Wind-Cliff City, so you have to send someone to pick it up yourself." Sylutia mentioned this.

"That's no problem." Albayou didn't trust others to transport such expensive things.

"Then there is the issue of inspection during delivery. Please take it away from the house after inspection in person. We will no longer be responsible for any damage after leaving the house."

"This is acceptable, but we also have to consider the loss on the road, so we also ask Ms. Anloer to agree that for every 100 bottles purchased, two bottles will be given away to supplement the loss."

Regarding this point, Sylutia thought about it. If he didn't agree, it would be troublesome to rely solely on himself and his wife to sell. This kind of loss is indeed inevitable.

"Okay." She tapped her palm with her folding fan and agreed.

Seeing Sylutia agreed, Cali didn't say much more. In fact, as Albayou said, the price is really good. If it were made from other Aspect Power raw materials, a bottle might be worth 1 gold coin. As for the rare "Blazing Sun" Aspect Power, the price is four times higher, which is also excessive.

"Then let's sign the contract." After saying that, the businessman took out a special contract paper. This paper was made by "Candlekeep School" and came with "Secret Speech" and "Aspect Power", which can prevent forgery. Once signed, two identical copies will be separated, and the writing on the paper will be covered by the pattern generated again to prevent tampering.

The price of this contract paper alone is worth several gold coins, and it is simply not used in ordinary contracts.
