28: trade

Led by Manager Wang, the group quickly arrived at a private room on the second floor.

After they were seated, Manager Wang was the first to speak again, inquiring, "Clan Leader Ling, may I now know which Medicinal Pills and Spirit Medicine you wish to purchase?"

"Of course."

"I believe your Commerce Guild's capabilities allow you to be aware of the Ling Family's situation. To be frank, I am here today to purchase a batch of ready-made Marrow Cleansing Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills, as well as the Spirit Medicine needed to refine them."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng no longer concealed his intentions and directly stated the items he wished to procure.

"Clan Leader Ling, the Spirit Gathering Pill is easy to discuss. It is merely a Yellow Grade Medicinal Pill, which can provide a large amount of Spiritual Qi to Martial Artists below the Profound Martial Realm, thereby accelerating their Cultivation speed. However, it requires Alchemists of Grade Two or higher to spend a significant amount of time and effort to refine, and it involves some precious Spirit Medicine."

"As for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it is a Black Grade Medicinal Pill. Although in the eyes of many powerhouses in the Heaven Martial Realm and above, this Medicinal Pill is not worth mentioning, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is extremely beneficial to Martial Artists below the Heaven Martial Realm. Moreover, the refining method for the Marrow Cleansing Pill is special, and it requires Alchemists to spend a great deal of time. Several of the Spirit Medicine used are also very precious. Currently, the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's inventory in Qingyun Town is not very large."

"In that case, Clan Leader Ling, this is such a significant transaction for your first visit to our Flying Cloud Commerce Guild. I'll make the decision to offer you a discounted price: one Spirit Gathering Pill for one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and one Marrow Cleansing Pill for twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. As for the Spirit Medicine, the Spirit Medicine for refining Spirit Gathering Pills will be five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones per portion, and the Spirit Medicine for Marrow Cleansing Pills will be ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones per portion."

"One thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones for a Spirit Gathering Pill, twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones for a Marrow Cleansing Pill, and the Spirit Medicine is half off that price. This price isn't too expensive."

"After all, the large amount of Spiritual Qi provided by the Spirit Gathering Pill after consumption is more conducive to absorption and refinement, thereby accelerating one's Cultivation speed. The Marrow Cleansing Pill, furthermore, can change a person's Cultivation talent to a certain extent, continuously improving their Physique. One must know that even a tiny change in Cultivation talent can provide immense convenience in one's future Cultivation process."

However, as good as these items were, in a place like Qingyun Town, no Family could purchase them in large quantities. After all, at a price of twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones per pill, buying a few might be feasible, but large-scale purchases were beyond any Family's means.

Manager Wang's early disclosure of the prices to Ling Feng also carried this implication.

"Manager Wang, just tell me directly how much your Commerce Guild can provide me right now. As for purchasing Medicinal Pills, I have enough Spirit Stones, so you don't need to worry about that. I wouldn't specifically come to your Commerce Guild to play games, would I?"

Ling Feng looked at Manager Wang beside him, then with a wave of his hand, he directly took out dozens of High-Grade Spirit Stones from his System space and placed them in front of Manager Wang, then slowly said with a smile.

"High-Grade Spirit Stones! High-Grade Spirit Stones are rarely seen throughout the entire Dynasty!"

"The exchange rate between Spirit Stones is one Top-Grade Spirit Stone for one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, one High-Grade Spirit Stone for one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone for one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Although this exchange rate has always existed, because higher-grade Spirit Stones contain purer Spiritual Qi, very few people would exchange higher-grade Spirit Stones for lower-grade Spirit Stones."

Manager Wang looked at the High-Grade Spirit Stones Ling Feng had placed in front of him, his heart filled with astonishment, and he quickly responded with a smile.

"Not at all, not at all. How could someone of Clan Leader Ling's status specially come to tease us little ones?"

"Alright, let's get down to business quickly."

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but urge him impatiently.

"Right, right, right, let's talk about business first."

"Currently, the Commerce Guild has a large inventory of Spirit Gathering Pills, nearly ten thousand pills. Marrow Cleansing Pills are fewer, with only five hundred. As for Spirit Medicine, we can currently provide two thousand portions for Spirit Gathering Pills and only eight hundred portions for Marrow Cleansing Pills."

Hearing this, Ling Feng pondered for a moment, then said to Manager Wang.

"Give me two thousand Spirit Gathering Pills first. I'll take all five hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills. As for the Spirit Medicine for refining both Medicinal Pills, I'll take all of that too."

"Calculate how many Spirit Stones that will be in total."

"Alright, alright, alright, Clan Leader Ling, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang's smile became even brighter. After fiddling with calculations for a moment, he said ingratiatingly to Ling Feng.

"Clan Leader Ling, the items you've purchased this time will require a total of twenty-one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones. If you pay with Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, it will only be twenty-one thousand. For High-Grade Spirit Stones, it will only be twenty-one."

"Which method of payment would you prefer?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng immediately waved his hand again, taking out a dozen more Spirit Stones and placing them in front of Manager Wang, saying with a casual smile.

"Since I've already taken some out, it's troublesome to put them back. I'll use High-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Additionally, I'll have to trouble Manager Wang to help procure more ready-made Marrow Cleansing Pills and the Spirit Medicine for their refinement. This extra portion of High-Grade Spirit Stones will serve as a deposit."

"Clan Leader Ling, rest assured, I, Wang, will personally oversee this matter and ensure everything is properly arranged for you."

Manager Wang then collected the Spirit Stones emanating rich Spiritual Qi in front of him and immediately smiled as he assured Ling Feng.

"Mm, I have great faith in the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's efficiency. Please prepare the items I've purchased this time for me. Once they are ready, deliver them directly to the Ling Family Residence. Someone will be there to settle the payment with you."

"Alright, Clan Leader Ling, please wait a moment. I will now instruct someone to deliver the Medicinal Pills and Spirit Medicine you purchased."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang immediately stood up, went to the door, gave instructions to a guard, and then returned to chat with Ling Feng.

A moment later.

"Knock knock... knock knock..."

The private room door was knocked. The maid inside, with a nod from Manager Wang, quickly opened the door.

A guard was seen holding a tray, on which two Storage Pouches were placed.

Seeing this, Manager Wang immediately stood up, took the two Storage Pouches directly from the tray, turned, and said with a smile to Ling Feng.

"Clan Leader Ling, these are the items you purchased this time. These two Storage Pouches are a complimentary gift."

"Mm, thank you, Manager Wang."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. I'll trouble Manager Wang again when I have time next."

"Not at all, not at all, Clan Leader Ling, you are too kind. I couldn't be happier that you came to our Commerce Guild."

"I'll see you out."

With that, Ling Feng and the others, under Manager Wang's gaze, directly left the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild and walked towards the Ling Family Residence...
