Chapter 109 - Sugarplum Before Serious Cooperation
“No matter how many I want…” Ye Xiao sucked in a deep breath and said, “What if I say… I need ten millions pieces of spiritual jade, one million pieces of jade crystal, a hundred thousand pieces of spiritual medicine and ten thousand pieces of rare medical materials… Can you do it?”
Basically, he was over claiming. All those stuffs he just said were worth of a huge amount of money that was more than enough to buy a small kingdom in the Land of Han-Yang.
Gu Jin-Long was totally calm. He looked at Ye Xiao blandly and said, “Absolutely. As long as you are truly able to take them all, I don’t have any problem with it… In fact, you can even ask for more as long as your master can handle it well.”
“Wow!”
Ye Xiao acted like he was seriously stunned. In his mind, he was shouting out ‘wow’ because he thought he was going to be super rich this time.
Wan Zheng-Hao was shocked and didn’t know what to say.
[Why didn’t I know he is so wealthy?]
He just got to know that his backer was so formidable.
He had thought that Gu Jin-Long was just a powerful superior cultivator from out of this world with marvelous cultivation capabilities, but he had never thought that he had such abundant resources.
Only Ye Xiao knew everything clearly. What he had just asked were indeed a huge amount of wealth in the Land of Han-Yang, yet it was never a big deal for the Sunlight Sect in the Qing-Yun Realm.
Well, when talking about ‘never a big deal’, we are talking about the Sunlight Sect, not Gu Jin-Long himself though.
Gu Jin-Long was acting calmly and generously, but if he was asked to give out all these stuffs right now… he would never be able to do it; it would be harder than having him tear off his own skin.
It was a nation-level amount of money after all. As a third-level superior cultivator of the Grade of Daoyuan, although he did have that much money, it would break him to give it out at once.
He smiled with his eyes half-closed, “Brother Feng, you and me, we are good friends who have the consensus now, but all that we are talking about are based on your master’s wonderful dan-making capability. I want some dan beads and you want to show your piety to your master… So I think we need to be frank at the beginning. If your master falls down… Heh heh. Our deal should be shut right away. What do you think?”
Ye Xiao answered nicely, “Absolutely. A deal is a deal; the fellowship is merely fellowship. It is a reasonable concern as we are talking about the business. All I want is for my master to have some happy time before he pass away. If my master dies someday, I will stay away from the martial world and devote myself to the art of dan-making myself… About our deal, I won’t be willing to go on with it myself.”
He spoke with a face full of sanctity and righteousness, “How can my master’s wonderful accomplishment stop in my hands. If there is another person who can make supreme dan beads other than my master, I wish it can be me. It can only be me.”
Gu Jin-Long spoke with a face full of respect, “Brother Feng, I have faith on you. You will succeed.”
In his mind, he was actually thinking, [I can’t really underestimate anything. Give this guy sometime, he may get some great achievement someday. Besides, he is the only disciple of his master. Maybe he truly will be able to produce some supreme dan beads in the future.
Maybe he will never make any supreme dan beads, but it is very possible that he can make dan beads with dan mist or dan pattern. Those are precious dan beads too. It costs far less in this world than in the Qing-Yun Realm after all… Maybe I should keep a good relationship with this guy.
He is an honest guy. I only need to give him some sugarplums [1] and he will absolutely be on my side. After four or five hundred years, he will be totally be loyal to me. It isn’t a very long time for a cultivator like me.
When I was dealing with Wan Zheng-Hao a long time ago, I spent thousands of years. This time maybe I need to offer a lot, yet the return will be much more favorable…
To invest on this Feng Zhi-Ling is a rather better business than investing in Wan Zheng-Hao…]
Gu Jin-Long was collecting his thoughts while he was glancing at Feng Zhi-Ling.
He was doing it very secretly that it won’t be noticed normally. However, Ye Xiao wouldn’t miss any movements.
So Ye Xiao was more concentrated to act like a humble and honest man.
Gu Jin-Long was more and more confident that this Feng Zhi-Ling was worth investing for.
So he was smiling with sincerity and hope.
He was actually showing true sincerity from the bottom of his heart, which rarely happened. Feng Zhi-Ling’s master was about to die, so even though he could make profits from his master, it wouldn’t last long. However, if Feng Zhi-Ling could be used, Gu Jin-Long would get a much bigger bonus in the future.
Well, his sincerity, hope, kind and smiles were doomed to be wasted after all.
Ye Xiao would never be moved by any of those.
The only thought Ye Xiao had was to tear off Gu Jin-Long’s head…
Ye Xiao had done so much speaking and acting, so he was tired both mentally and physically. He grabbed the cup and drank a lot of tea. He then said, “Mr. Wan, could you give me my money back first? I have been here for a long time now. I need to go back.”
Wan Zheng-Hao casually said ‘yes’, yet he was looking at Gu Jin-Long. Apparently, he couldn’t make the decision.
