Chapter 212 Business 3
"Thank you, Chief Kunmu. Unfortunately, I have other important matters to attend to. I will definitely visit you in person when I have time."
Cheng Jiu looked at Chief Kunmu with a hint of regret on his face.
"Haha! Master Cheng, what are you saying? Your arrival is an honor for our clan. There is no need for a formal visit; our clan should personally prepare a carriage to welcome you."
Having received Cheng Jiu's promise, Chief Kunmu laughed heartily at Cheng Jiu.
This Master Cheng is indeed a man of extraordinary bearing and a generous, open-minded nature; it's no wonder he humbled himself before this junior. Look at the one next to him—he hasn't made any progress yet!
Qi Mu smiled and continued, "The scenery of our Rainbow Fox Clan's territory is quite nice. If Master Cheng is willing to come, we will prepare fresh flowers and fine wine to welcome him."
Kunmu: "Although the Rainbow Fox Clan and my Green Deer Clan do not cultivate spiritual herbs, the fabrics woven from their butterfly powder and special silk are absolutely first-class and have always been in short supply."
"As luck would have it, the Rainbow Fox Clan will be holding a butterfly-viewing banquet in seven days, attracting participants from all the major demon clans. If Alchemist Cheng is still in the demon realm and interested, he could go and take a look!"
Qi Mu glanced at Kun Mu. When did this guy become so generous? He actually spoke well of her: "Yes, it's a once-in-a-century butterfly transformation, where thousands of colors converge in one place. This is an invitation. If Master Cheng is available, please don't refuse."
Listening to their recommendations, Cheng Jiu was actually quite tempted, but she couldn't make any promises.
Perhaps she'll go on a training expedition with her senior brothers and the others.
"Let's talk about it when we have time!"
Qimu was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't show it. She couldn't compare to the Qinglu clan; without their unique spiritual plants, their appeal was indeed weaker.
Moreover, this Master Cheng doesn't seem to be interested in alcohol. Ah, if only Master Cheng were a drinker, everyone knows that the Rainbow Fox Clan's wine is unparalleled among the demon race.
"Master Cheng, have you been waiting long?" Huan Zhuo walked over, glanced at his two friends' faces, and it was clear that only one of them had gotten what he wanted.
This was not unexpected, since spiritual plants were more attractive to this young alchemist.
Speaking of which, didn't Badger He previously promise to introduce Master Cheng to those powerful clans that cultivate spiritual plants?
No, Master Cheng has been so generous in helping them refine the pills, she can't just turn her back on him. She'll visit those families later!
We absolutely must not let Master Cheng think that their Badger Clan is untrustworthy.
"Please check everything; it's all here."
Badger Zhu handed the storage ring to Cheng Jiu. According to market prices, a Grade 7 Qi and Blood Pill costs around 600 top-grade spirit stones.
Of course, the actual selling price is even higher, and apart from some major cities and large cities in the cultivation world, there is no market for it in other places.
The price of top-grade spirit stones is about double that of the original price, while the Badger Clan Chief buys them for 2 to 3 times the original price. That is to say, one can sell for at least 2,400 top-grade spirit stones, and she sold 100 of them for 240,000 top-grade spirit stones.
Cheng Jiuguang did the math and couldn't help but gasp. Two hundred and forty thousand! If she were to buy a ninth-grade array plate, she could buy two of them. And this was with the spiritual herbs given to her by others, plus she received a huge sum of money for alchemy. What do you call this? This is called a risk-free business!
Alchemists earn more money than Cheng Jiu imagined, and of course, the demon race is also really rich!
Cheng Jiu didn't count how many spirit stones Huan Zhuo had given her, since the other party wouldn't dare to keep them from her anyway.
Handing the pill directly to the other party—what does that mean? It means mutual trust between buyer and seller. If you ever have such a good opportunity again, be sure to think of her!
Badger was pleased to receive a hundred more pills than he had expected and was determined to befriend this alchemist so he could ask her for help again next time.
After the transaction was completed, Huanzhuo wanted to host a banquet for Cheng Jiu and the others, but they refused. Huanzhuo did not insist and sent a caravan to take them back to the Demon Emperor's Palace.
This time, Gong Cheng, Gong Yu, and the other two did not sit on the back of the demon beast, because the carriage arranged for Cheng Jiu was large enough to comfortably seat four people.
Moreover, Cheng Jiu didn't mind sitting with his senior brothers at all.
Sitting on the carriage, Cheng Jiu took out his harvest of the past few days: 1,200 portions of spiritual herbs. Cheng Jiu only used 60 portions to refine 540 pills, and of course, he used them all.
Cheng Jiu was very generous, giving all the remaining forty coins to the demons who had been sparring with her three senior brothers these past few days.
Those demons who received the pills felt they had struck gold, as they could not only fight against human geniuses but also receive precious pills!
Those demons who didn't receive the pills were incredibly envious of the others; why didn't they get to enjoy such a good thing?
Then there's the fee for the alchemy commissioned by the other party, which is usually one-third of the market price, since the cost of the medicinal materials has been covered. If they feel that giving spirit stones alone is too vulgar, they will usually give some spiritual items and herbs, the value of which will definitely exceed the agreed alchemy fee.
The badger clan did the same, piling up a small mountain of grade nine rare ores. In addition to these grade nine rare ores, there were also some boxes containing grade nine spiritual herbs.
Cheng Jiu doesn't need these medicinal herbs right now, so he can only store them away with his previous collection.
As for the ores, Cheng Jiu divided them with her senior brothers according to their properties. She only needed some wood and metal ores, and didn't really need the others.
The remaining ore was also piled up, to see when it could be used or to find an opportunity to clear out the inventory.
The badger clan is really generous. Cheng Jiu is very satisfied with this customer. Alright, all that's left is the cost of those one hundred top-grade pills.
The storage ring wasn't very large, but it was completely filled with spirit stones, making it look extremely impressive.
"Three hundred and sixty thousand!"
"What?" The three looked up and asked instinctively.
"The cost of the elixir. Three hundred and sixty thousand!"
"A top-grade spirit stone?" Li Wei's voice trembled.
"Yes!" Cheng Jiu nodded.
"Junior sister, you've struck it rich!" Li Weixin screamed. Three hundred and sixty thousand!
He had so much spirit stone on him, even if he sold his sword and his family's support: "Alchemists really make money!"
"..." Gong Yu, who was not short of money, also gained a concrete understanding of how alchemists could make money. This was just one order, just one order from a casual hunting trip, and it had already earned 360,000 top-grade spirit stones.
In the eyes of alchemists, even top-grade spirit stones are no longer considered spirit stones. No wonder Medicine King Valley is famously wealthy! If everyone were like this, Medicine King Valley's wealth, comparable to the cultivation world, would indeed be no legend.
"The badger clan is relatively wealthy; they certainly don't usually have this much."
How much is it usually?
"120,000?" Cheng Jiu asked hesitantly.
"That's so rich! The biggest sum I ever made was the 150,000 top-grade spirit stones we won back in the Cloud Soaring Sect." Li Weixin: "That was the richest I've ever been in all these years!"
"That's a huge sum!" Gong Cheng and Gong Yu nodded. Apart from Qin Shixiong and his companion, who bet the most, a full six million, they still haven't spent it all!
"Rich people".
Li Weixin bit his handkerchief in jealousy, sobbing. Back in the Dragon Abyss Sect, he never felt poor. Compared to his fellow disciples who had to risk their lives to go on missions to earn spirit stones, he had subsidies from his master and family, and he could still go out to train.
But when he was surrounded by three incredibly wealthy guys, he felt like he was bleeding from poverty, even though one of them was also a sword cultivator and the other had just as many money-devouring beasts as he did!
But why is he so poor? Should he learn a side job?
But then I remembered the years I spent trying in the sect and gave up. I had no talent, and I couldn't afford to fail!
Perhaps when you have the ability in the future, you could inherit your master Tian Leizi's business.
Unfortunately, he is too weak now. Even if he creates the Heavenly Thunder Spear, there is no market for it. Moreover, since Junior Sister Cheng Jiu invented the cannon, he has had even less business.
Thinking about it, he looked at Cheng Jiu with resentment, knowing that he couldn't blame her. Before Da Pao, he didn't have much business, and Da Pao's appearance only made his already dismal business worse.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Li?" Feeling Li Weixin's resentful gaze, Cheng Jiu couldn't help but shudder.
Huh? What's going on? Senior Brother Li's gaze suddenly turned eerie.
"It's nothing!" Li Weixin looked away with a wronged expression, not wanting to expose her sadness to the world again.
It's okay, this is only temporary!
Someday! Someday!
He will take back everything that is rightfully his!
I firmly believe in jpg
Seeing that Li Weixin suddenly returned to normal, Cheng Jiu did not press the matter further.
This might be a secret that only young boys have!
As a considerate junior sister, she decided not to ask!
"We've arrived at the Demon Emperor's Palace!" Gongcheng said, looking at the buildings ahead.
The demonic beast came to a steady stop in front of the Demon Emperor's Palace. Cheng Jiu didn't need the coachman sitting next to him to bring him a chair; he simply flew down himself.
Previously, I was maintaining my identity as an alchemist to prevent the other party from seeing my true self, but now that the transaction is over, there's no need for all that!
She's not some delicate alchemist, she's a sword cultivator!
Absolutely!
Following the route taken during the previous grand ceremony, the group returned safely to Meiwuyuan.
Hi! You're back!
The mermaid in the pond waved happily when she saw several people entering the courtyard. Her golden hair was adorned with seashells and star-like gems, like stars in a boundless golden sea, a breathtaking sight.
She wore an ornate armlet and a gold waist chain, looking both beautiful and wild.
"What brings you here? Don't you have class?"
Cheng Jiu looked at the beauty in the pool with curiosity. She thought that Lan Liu, the future demon emperor who was already confirmed, should not have much free time.
"Don't say such discouraging things! I've already received the gift you gave me, it's very beautiful!"
Lan Liu spoke coquettishly, her tail tip standing up slightly as she showed Cheng Jiu the waist chain he had crafted for her. It must be said that Cheng Jiu had quite a good eye for aesthetics.
Only the color of shimmering gold can complement the mermaid's magnificent tail. The slender waist chain and the gorgeous gemstones do not overshadow the main feature, but rather resemble the shimmering light flowing quietly in a rainbow sea.
"very beautiful!"
Cheng Jiu's tone was quite sincere.
Lan Liu immediately beamed with joy: "Right! Right! I also think this waist chain is very beautiful! You humans are so skillful, I liked it as soon as I received it!"
"If you like, I can make a few more for you?"
Cheng Jiu was also very happy. There was no better gift than the one he gave, which the other person liked and wanted, especially since the other person was so supportive!
"No need, one is enough! Refining it is also hard work."
Lan Liu shook her head and refused. She had already inquired and knew that crafting such a waist chain was extremely laborious, so how could she ask for help from this friend?
"With this as a reference, I will ask the elves for help in refining it."
"The Elf race?" Having heard that one of the elves was extremely skilled in weapon crafting, Cheng Jiu didn't insist anymore since Lan Liu had said so.
"Well, if Xiao Jiu wants to get to know you, I can introduce you!"
Cheng Jiu was indeed curious about the unique weapon-refining techniques of the Elven race. He nodded upon hearing this, thinking it would be great if he could go and take a look.
Who are these three?
"My senior brothers! These two are Senior Brother Gongcheng, Senior Brother Gongyu, and Senior Brother Li Weixin. Senior Brother, this is Lan Liu." Cheng Jiu immediately introduced the two sides!
"Hello, Xiao Jiu's senior brother!" Lan Liu waved his arms and greeted the three of them.
"Hello, Princess Lanliu!"
"No need to be so polite. I'm Xiao Jiu's friend, and you're Xiao Jiu's senior brothers. Just call me Lan Liu!"
"Blue Glaze".
Lan Liu looked at Cheng Jiu cheerfully: "Your three senior brothers are quite handsome!"
The three of them had never received such direct praise before, and their ears turned bright red upon hearing it.
"I think so too!"
Cheng Jiu looked at his three senior brothers, who were blushing with surprise. Were they so innocent and shy?
"Junior Sister Jiu!"
The three of them looked at Cheng Jiu with resentment. Why did she also join that demon in kicking someone when they were down?
"Okay, okay, I won't tell!"
Cheng Jiu made a zipping motion.
Seeing this, Lan Liu could no longer continue teasing and could only reluctantly call it quits.
"The big day of signing the treaty between the demon race and your human race is in a few days, right? Have you prepared any formal attire? If not, I can help you prepare some!"
"Sign?"
The group was instantly captivated by the new information.
"Yes, yes, it's because of you that our demon race eliminated the cancer, the Crimson Clan. The other side was treacherous, not only inducing a beast tide in the demon race, but also attempting to overturn the friendly relations between the demon realm and the cultivation world."
To thwart the mastermind's plan, the Demon Emperor has decided to sign a non-aggression pact with the cultivation world. He will likely provide you with some compensation, as you are the ones who have suffered the most, thanks to his efforts.
"That's excellent!" Peace and stability, free from war, are the best outcome for both races.
It seems our mission to the demon realm has been successfully completed: "Thank you for informing us of this!"
"It's alright! After all, I don't want to meet you on the battlefield one day!"
Lan Liu said earnestly, her clear eyes revealing her seriousness, as if the other person truly thought so.
"Then for peace! Long live peace!" Cheng Jiu stretched out his hand.
Lan Liu looked at her in confusion, while Gong Cheng and Gong Yu, who were standing next to her, immediately understood and placed their hands on Cheng Jiu's hands.
"Long live peace!"
"Long live peace!"
Seeing this, Li Weixin immediately joined in!
"Long live peace!"
Lan Liu instantly understood and placed her hand on it as well. Although she didn't know what it was for, a strange power filled her whole body, as if telling her that this was the right thing to do!
But she doesn't dislike it at all!
