The Deal Is Struck
"He was no match for you, Your Excellency. If you hadn't shown mercy, he would probably be dead already!"
The speaker was a burly Moro standing next to the Great Sage.
This person also possesses the cultivation level of the Dao Integration stage and is the legion commander of another legion of the Moro Clan.
Chen Feng hadn't expected that his attempt to give Aris a way out seemed to have been completely ignored by the Moro Clan.
At this moment, the great sage spoke in a loud voice:
"Master Chen has won this battle!"
As the Great Sage's voice rang out, the Moro Clan cultivators near the arena erupted in cheers.
Hearing the cheers from all around, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.
He originally thought that since he had crippled Aris, the Moro people would definitely be hostile towards him.
But the Moro people cheered after he won, which really surprised him.
Seemingly sensing Chen Feng's confusion, the Great Sage smiled and explained:
"Sect Leader Chen, there's no need to be surprised. Our Moro tribe has always believed in the supremacy of the strong. Your strength far surpasses Aris's, and our warriors will only worship you."
Chen Feng nodded and didn't say anything more.
Afterwards, Chen Feng accompanied the Great Sage to the Moro tribe's welcoming ceremony.
It was called a welcoming ceremony, but it was actually just a gathering of high-ranking Moro people to perform some kind of special ritual.
Chen Feng didn't understand what it was either, but he just cooperated silently.
Even different regions within a country have their own customs, let alone other civilizations.
After the welcoming ceremony, Chen Feng was invited to Moro Star, the main star of the Moro Clan.
Moro Star is the largest of the three stars.
The star that Chen Feng previously arrived at for the Moro Clan was another star of the Moro Clan called the Sacred Tree Star.
The sacred tree of the Moro race lies deep within that star.
Inside a tower ten thousand meters high on the planet Moro.
There is a long table set up here right now.
On the right side of the long table sat a group of high-ranking members of the Moro tribe.
Chen Feng sat opposite these people.
This scene is somewhat similar to a diplomatic conference on Earth.
The Great Sage spoke first:
"Sect Leader Chen, I won't waste any more words. Our clan is very interested in the cultivation knowledge and treasures you mentioned earlier, and we hope to purchase them in large quantities from you."
Having said that, the great sage tossed out a crystal.
The crystal floated in front of Chen Feng and then reflected a long passage of text.
This is the script of the Moro people, which Chen Feng had learned before, so he naturally recognized it.
This is a list of items, containing hundreds of items.
"This is a special resource of our Moro tribe. Sect Leader Chen can take a closer look. If you have any questions, you can ask us," the Great Sage explained.
Chen Feng smiled and tossed over a Jade Slip slip in return.
"These are the things I can offer; you are all welcome to take a look."
The Great Sage quickly took the Jade Slip, and then several high-ranking officials around him examined it.
Chen Feng carefully browsed the item list, each item having a corresponding description.
Chen Feng only glanced at it briefly, but he found many things that appealed to him.
For example, there is a type of crystal called Yuanjing.
This type of crystal contains extremely rich primordial energy, and its quality is a hundred times that of ordinary primordial stones.
Another example is a material called star core.
According to the introduction, this star core contains stellar energy. The Moro race uses this object in a simple way: they embed it into weapons to give the weapons a certain amount of stellar power, which is equivalent to a kind of enchantment.
Besides these, there were many other things that Chen Feng had never seen before.
There are dozens of types of metals alone, six of which can already be used to build antimatter warships.
At most, there are various kinds of spiritual objects.
There are over a hundred types of spiritual creatures, and each type has a corresponding description.
However, most of the descriptions focus on the additional effects on the body after swallowing it.
This caused a strange expression to appear on Chen Feng's face.
Chen Feng recognized many of these spiritual creatures, but the names they used in the Moro tribe differed from those in the Painting Scroll World.
For example, Chen Feng saw a very famous spiritual object in the Nine Star Domains called the Heavenly Flame Heart Orchid.
When combined with other auxiliary materials, this item can be refined into a pill that enhances the fire attribute Principle.
According to the Moro Clan's description, this substance only enhances the power of fire Principle for a short period of time after consumption, and there is no other information about it.
Clearly, this is because the Moro people have absolutely no knowledge of alchemy.
Therefore, the medicinal properties of the Heavenly Flame Heart Orchid cannot be fully utilized.
There are many more such spiritual objects on the list.
They all grant temporary abilities upon ingestion.
Moreover, the Moro tribe did not value these spiritual objects much, and they were placed at the end of the list.
On the contrary, those spiritual items that could modify bloodlines and increase physical strength were ranked higher.
Chen Feng understood the Moro Clan's actions, after all, the Moro Clan was a race that primarily evolved through devouring.
Whether it's a spiritual object or something else, they all prefer things that can directly enhance their strength after being swallowed.
However, to Chen Feng's disappointment, he did not see anything related to the sacred tree on it.
Chen Feng looked up at the Great Sage and the others.
At this moment, the great sage and the others were all looking at the contents of the Jade Slip, their faces filled with excitement.
Chen Feng was not surprised at all by this.
Compared to the list given to him by the Moro Clan, his list contained tens of thousands of different materials and treasures, not to mention various Divine Ability and Law Technique.
Chen Feng quickly selected what he wanted.
Then they waited quietly on the sidelines until the Moro tribe members finished reading.
This wait lasted for half an hour.
"Sect Leader Chen, I apologize for keeping you waiting." The Great Sage withdrew his gaze from the Jade Slip slip and spoke to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng smiled:
"It's alright. Have you decided what you want yet?"
The great sage took a deep breath and then said:
We want them all.
"Huh?" Chen Feng was taken aback.
The Moro tribe chieftain beside him spoke excitedly:
"Sect Leader Chen, we are very interested in everything in this Jade Slip. We would like to buy it all. We can trade now!"
Chen Feng nodded:
"Alright, let's discuss how to complete the transaction."
Chen Feng had expected the Moro clan to be interested in cultivation techniques, but he was still somewhat surprised to hear that they wanted everything.
After all, there was too much information in that Jade Slip.
There's a huge amount of stuff just related to formations.
He was highly skeptical. Could a race like the Moro, who only knew how to evolve, really learn formations?
However, since the other party wanted it, he naturally wouldn't stop them. He was only responsible for selling it; whether the Moro tribe could learn it was none of his business.
The group then began discussing the details of the transaction.
After some discussion, it was finally decided to use Moro coins for the transaction.
This is also the best way to trade: Chen Feng sells goods to the Moro tribe to get Moro coins, and then uses the Moro coins to buy goods from the Moro tribe.
This is equivalent to a transaction between two countries on Earth.
The idea is the same principle: Dragon Country sells goods to the Eagle Sauce Country for US dollars, and then uses those dollars to buy goods from the Eagle Sauce Country.
If a barter system is used, the transaction will be very complicated.
Chen Feng agreed to this transaction method partly out of self-interest, because he could set the price of his own goods at any number of Moro coins he wanted.
For example, he exchanged a Nascent Soul level Divine Ability for 100,000 Moro coins.
One hundred thousand Moro coins can be exchanged for a Heavenly Flame Heart Orchid.
You should know that if this thing were in one of the nine major star regions, it would be worth at least 10,000 yuan stones.
This is the benefit of information asymmetry.
The Moro tribe felt they had gained something, and so did Chen Feng.
He wasn't worried that after he exchanged his money for Moro coins, the Moro tribe wouldn't sell him anything in the future.
Because he didn't intend to sell everything to the Moro tribe at once.
After receiving a sum of Moro coins, he would immediately spend them, thus reducing the risk.
Although the Moro tribe was very reluctant to accept Chen Feng's method of selling the goods gradually, they had no choice but to agree because of Chen Feng's firm attitude.
The negotiations for this deal lasted a full day before they concluded.
After all, Chen Feng had to price everything in Moro coins, and if the Moro tribe was unwilling to accept it, he would have to negotiate with them.
"Sect Leader Chen, now that we've reached a fairly good agreement, when will the transaction take place?" the Great Sage asked Chen Feng.
At this moment, his attitude towards Chen Feng was noticeably more polite.
When someone needs something from another person, they tend to adopt a humble attitude.
Chen Feng thought for a moment:
"I can give you the basics of Law Technique and alchemy formations right now. As for other treasures and pills, I don't have that many on me. You can send someone with me to the solar system to get them."
Chen Feng did not want to personally participate in the specific transaction process with the Moro tribe; he planned to leave this matter to Li Xiaorou.
Making a deal with aliens can also be considered as increasing her abilities.
"That's fine. I'll select a group of my people to go to the Solar System later. But I wonder how Chen Feng plans to trade those Cultivation Method and Divine Ability?"
After the sage finished speaking, everyone else turned their gaze to Chen Feng.
The items traded just now were mostly pills and treasures, with very few Cultivation Method and Divine Ability.
Although Chen Feng said he didn't want to trade too many of these things for the time being, the Great Sage and the others weren't fools.
It was clear that Chen Feng didn't want to sell to them so easily; he wanted to set conditions.
Chen Feng said with a smile:
"Divine Ability and Cultivation Method are the foundation of a civilization; after all, knowledge is priceless. I hope to exchange them for something else."
Before the great sage could answer, a legion commander beside him spoke up loudly:
"Sect Leader Chen, please speak. Anything our Moro clan possesses, we are willing to trade!"
Chen Feng said calmly:
"I want the blood of nobles of the sixth rank or higher..."
Upon hearing that Chen Feng actually wanted the blood of their clansmen, the Great Sage frowned.
The Moro people place great importance on bloodlines; blood can be considered the foundation of a race.
Chen Feng might not hesitate to ask for other things, but he hesitated when it came to blood.
The Moro tribe chief asked:
"Sect Leader Chen, could you please tell me what you need my clan's blood for?"
Chen Feng knew what they were thinking, and he immediately said:
"The blood of nobles is extraordinary; I wish to use it to forge some treasures."
Chen Feng was very direct. He wanted the blood of the Moro people in order to create quantum communication technology. He couldn't very well say that he was taking their blood back to keep as a souvenir.
Upon hearing that Chen Feng intended to use their blood to refine something, many high-ranking members of the Moro Clan showed some dissatisfaction.
That's understandable; even an Earthling would readily sell their blood.
Chen Feng added:
"Please rest assured, I would never use this blood to harm any noble."
The great sage laughed heartily:
"We are not worried about that. Our race has fought countless battles across star fields, and countless of our people have died in battle. If blood could defeat our race, our race would have ceased to exist long ago. I agree to this condition."
The Great Sage ultimately agreed, as those Divine Ability and Cultivation Method might not be of much use to these high-ranking Moro people.
However, it is indeed of great value to lower-ranking Moro race members.
This would greatly improve the survival rate of the Moro tribe in their external battles.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Chen Feng felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. If the Moro Clan hadn't agreed, he would have had to resort to other means.
Chen Feng then tentatively asked:
"Furthermore, I've heard that the noble family's sacred tree is incredibly powerful, even capable of helping people quickly condense threads of Principle. Is that true?"
Upon hearing Chen Feng mention the Sacred Tree, the Great Sage's smile vanished instantly.
The others looked at Chen Feng with even more suspicion.
The great sage asked, "This is indeed true. Why does Sect Leader Chen ask this?"
"I would like to ask the noble sacred tree to help me condense some threads of Principle. I wonder what conditions are required?" Chen Feng's eyes flashed.
The most valuable thing to the Moro tribe is the sacred tree.
This is what Chen Feng values most.
Even being baptized by the sacred tree once would greatly benefit him, not to mention helping him condense the threads of Principle.
A single Principle of force is not enough for Chen Feng.
He wanted to master more Principle.
"Impossible! The Sacred Tree is a sacred object of our clan. Even within our clan, only core members can receive the baptism of the Sacred Tree. We cannot allow outsiders to approach the Sacred Tree." The Great Sage resolutely refused.
The attitudes of the other Moro tribesmen also changed at that moment.
It was as if the sacred tree was the Achilles' heel of their Moro tribe.
Chen Feng sighed. He knew that given the current relationship between the two sides, it was unlikely that he could get the other party to agree.
"Alright, I was being presumptuous." Chen Feng didn't press the matter further.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Moro tribe members softened.
After the transaction was discussed and finalized, Chen Feng did not linger in the Moro tribe and prepared to take his leave.
He originally intended to wander around the Moro tribe.
But because he defeated Aris, he has been challenged by many people ever since.
Chen Feng wasn't in the mood to accept challenges from others every day, so he had to leave early.
"Sect Leader Chen, you are welcome to visit our clan again next time."
The great sage smiled and spoke to Chen Feng.
The group had already arrived at the side of the spatial passage, where all the high-ranking members of the Moro Clan were present.
Chen Feng nodded. "I will definitely come again if I have the chance. You can also contact me if you need anything."
To facilitate a better deal between the two parties, Chen Feng the Moro Clan to establish a base in the solar system.
This stronghold is only located near the spatial passage, and the Moro people within the stronghold are not allowed to leave without permission.
Chen Feng did this because he didn't want the Moro Clan to discover Earth.
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Feng didn't linger and entered the spatial passage. Accompanying Chen Feng were Sos, Tar, and more than a dozen Moro Clan experts.
Soth and Tal have been appointed as the heads of the Solar System outpost, specifically responsible for trading with Chen Feng's side.
The dozen or so people we brought with us will all become members of the future solar system base.
