Taking the Whole Order

No sooner had he finished speaking than Elder Lü of the Clear River Sect excitedly slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed:

"We, the Clear River Sect, will take them all!"

Five hundred Calming Qi Talisman a month—even if each person only makes five a day, it would only take four people to exceed that quota. For the confident Clear River Sect, this number of people is easily within their reach.

Moreover, there's no longer any need to worry about a shortage of materials for making talismans.

The list of goods that Li Zhouxuan had shown earlier contained all the basic materials for making talismans. The prices were very cheap. By buying those materials, drawing the Calming Qi Talisman, and then reselling them, one could earn thousands of Spirit Stone!

Earning over a thousand Spirit Stone a month, this business is definitely worth doing!

After quickly reaching this conclusion in his mind, Elder Lü immediately made a decision.

Good things don't wait for anyone; there's no time to go back and discuss it with the sect now.

This demonstrates the advantage of Elder Lü authority. For instance, while the leaders of other sects were anxious, they did not dare to make decisions for their sects as directly as he did.

On the other side, someone from the Cloud and Mist Sect immediately spoke up:

"Elder Lü, such a good thing should be shared by all, so why shouldn't your Clear River Sect monopolize it?"

Elder Lü glanced at him and then said:

"First come, first served. Any problems? Go ahead and make a decision now? I can give you a hundred of them."

The leader of the Cloud and Mist Sect snorted:

"Our Cloud and Mist Sect is not as unruly as your Clear River Sect. Such important matters must be discussed and decided upon in a meeting."

"Oh, then you can wait patiently."

After saying that, Elder Lü turned his head away and ignored him, then turned to Li Zhouxuan and said again:

"We, the Clear River Sect, have received all five hundred copies. Are we signing contracts now or what? I'll call our sect leader over to stamp them in a bit."

Li Zhouxuan smiled at him:

"Elder Lü, please don't rush. Have you thought this through? Although the Calming Qi Talisman isn't particularly difficult to draw, I do have quality requirements for its purchase. Any talismans that fail the inspection will not be accepted."

Upon hearing this, Elder Lü waved his hand and said:

"While we Clear River Sect's talisman masters may not claim to be exceptionally skilled, you can rest assured of their meticulousness and attention to detail. I'm absolutely certain we'll handle this entire order."

Since he agreed so readily, Li Zhouxuan didn't waste any words and immediately nodded in agreement:

"Alright, we'll sign the contract once your sect's Sect Leader Han, arrives."

Then, he turned to the anxious and regretful leaders of the Cloud and Mist Sect and Shangyang Sect, as well as Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe, whose expressions were copied from theirs:

"Rest assured, everyone, this deal will certainly not be the only one... In the future, we will have many more opportunities to cooperate. I hope we can continue to support each other and move forward hand in hand."

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the Cloud and Mist Sect and Shangyang Sect were overjoyed.

Does this mean that such acquisitions are likely to continue in the future?

Thus, they were no longer so envious of the Clear River Sect, and their faces instantly lit up with smiles as they said:

"Then we shall await good news from the imperial court."

"Don't keep us waiting too long."

"Next time such a good thing happens, don't forget our Lingxian Sect!"

Thus, all these matters were discussed and concluded, and before we knew it, it was noon.

After the court officials and Emperor Li Zhouxuan invited the leaders to lunch, Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe took their leave.

But the people from the three major sects did not.

Next, they would discuss in detail the matter of attacking Huanyou Nation.

Because of the previously available list of goods at very favorable prices, the three major sects now feel much more confident about their campaign against the Huanyou Nation.

Although buying large quantities of things will definitely cost a lot, with the transaction of the Calming Qi Talisman preceding them, they all thought that they could earn back these Spirit Stone sooner or later.

Then I didn't feel so bad about it.

On the way back, Liu Yunan was quite excited.

But because he was still outside, he didn't dare show it, only occasionally turning his head to stare at Qin Jianghe beside him with gleaming eyes.

This made Qin Jianghe wish he could find a needle and sew his eyes shut.

Only after the two returned to their lodgings and carefully set up isolation barriers around them did Liu Yunan plop down at the tea table, pour himself a full cup of tea, gulp it down, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction:

"Today was so much fun!"

Seeing his expression, Qin Jianghe shook his head, smiled, and sat down opposite him, pouring himself a cup of tea to moisten his mouth.

"It was quite interesting making a deal with cultivators for the first time."

Although it wasn't them who came forward.

Liu Yunan looked at him and said:

"Tell me, why is Brother Xiao doing this? Not only does he provide them with goods at prices comparable to the market price in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but he also gives them the method to draw the Calming Qi Talisman for free, buys them at normal purchase prices, and even gives the middleman position to the royal family."

Qin Jianghe then laughed and said:

"You think we've lost out?"

Liu Yunan shook his head:

"No, that's not the case. We'll definitely make a profit."

It's just a matter of how much or how much you earn.

Based on the channels they currently control, they hold an absolute monopoly over these sects in the Mortal Realm, and they can essentially set the prices themselves.

As long as they set their prices lower than those of the sects' own channels, they will never have to worry about selling their goods or having no business.

Judging from his expression, Qin Jianghe knew what he was thinking, so he asked him:

"Why do you think Brother Xiao wants us to do this?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunan thought for a moment, then frowned slightly and said:

"For mutual benefit and win-win results?"

Qin Jianghe nodded and said:

"Brother Xiao said that we have never been in a competitive relationship with other sects in the Mortal Realm, but rather as partners. Of course, this relationship does not require the approval of other sects; it's just that we ourselves need to have the right mindset."

"Furthermore, our sect's current situation is not suitable for us to stand before the public, which is why we relinquished the role of mediator to the royal family, and..."

"Brother Xiao said something to me before."

"What did you say?" Liu Yunan quickly leaned closer and asked.

Qin Jianghe seemed to be thinking of something, and after a moment of silence, he stared at him intently and said:

He said, "We were born and raised in the Mortal Realm Mortal Realm, and now that we have the ability, we don't want to use it to become the exploiters. What we want is for the Mortal Realm to become a second Immortal Cultivation Realm, Immortal Cultivation Realm even a better Immortal Cultivation Realm."

Looking at Liu Yunan, a different kind of light flickered in Qin Jianghe's eyes.

"Brother Xiao said that whether we earn a little more or a little less Spirit Stone Spirit Stone, it's all a gain for us, not a loss at all. What he wants is something more long-term."
