"I want to purchase some Third-Order spiritual materials. Can you manage that?"
Fang Qing handed Shang Yuanxin a jade slip with "Ink Heaven Jade" deleted from the list.
Shang Yuanxin swept it with his Spiritual Sense and smiled. "These are all Third-Order materials, so it will be a little troublesome... But if you're willing to pay a deposit, we can have everything transferred here within three months. The only exception is Voidstone: the quantity you need is so large that we may not be able to gather it all." "Oh?"
Fang Qing was genuinely delighted. "The Merchant Alliance lives up to its reputation... Then it's settled."
He had no shortage of spirit stones. If he could buy Third-Order materials, he was coming out ahead.
The Merchant Alliance would not lose money on this deal, but Shang Yuanxin was clearly doing him a favor.
"As for Voidstone, there's a private exchange for high-level cultivators coming up. A Wayward Hermit seems to control a Voidstone vein and often sells materials with void attributes..."
Shang Yuanxin continued.
Voidstone veins produced mostly low-grade materials with void attributes, commonly used as the main ingredient in storage bags and similar treasures.
But Third-Order Voidstone could be mined from their cores!
"Are you referring to the gathering at Pao Gathering Tower in a month?"
Something stirred in Fang Qing's mind. The exchanges mentioned by the two merchant houses were probably the same event.
"That's right."
Shang Yuanxin nodded. "When the time comes, tell Wayward Hermit that Yuanxin of the Merchant Alliance sent you. He should show you some consideration..."
"You're not bad..."
Fang Qing gave Shang Yuanxin a long look. In this cultivation world, only low-level merchants made money by buying low and selling high. Truly capable merchants invested in cultivators and powers!
