347: Conditions, achieved

"I wonder what Chairman Xu thinks?"

Saen Qingyun, seeing Xu Song's interest, felt relieved and quickly asked.

Bringing out the leilin dao gold was a huge decision for him. After all, if he offered this item to his Family, it would undoubtedly be a great merit—this was his contingency plan.

But for some reason, his intuition told him that the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild was extremely mysterious, and if he missed this opportunity, he might regret it. That's why he handed the leilin dao gold to the other party.

Sarn Ao, standing nearby, was stunned when he heard about the leilin dao gold.

He had no idea that Saen Qingyun possessed leilin dao gold. Even for some Thunder Dao Masters, this item was a rare Dao gold.

And there were several Thunder Dao Masters in Kase Royal City. If it were offered to them, it would surely put the other party in his debt.

Xu Song did not rush to answer but pondered. He understood Saen Qingyun's intentions.

Although the Xu Family, even excluding the Clan Chief, had enough power to crush the Saen Family, the Saen Family, as one of the eight Royal City Families, possessed extremely strong connections and influence in the Kase Heaven Realm, which the Xu Family could not rival.

Therefore, Xu Song did not refuse Saen Qingyun's overtures.

Xu Song said, "Young Master Qingyun, name your price! Our Merchant Guild will take this ore vein!"

Saen Qingyun, hearing this, cupped his hands and smiled, "If Chairman Xu desires it, Qingyun is willing to offer it as a gift!"

Xu Song heard this and smiled, "No reward without merit. Please withdraw what Young Master Qingyun just said."

"Qingyun was indeed reckless!" Saen Qingyun apologized, "To be honest, Qingyun has another purpose for this. I need this leilin dao gold to forge a batch of armored Dao weapons, but due to some reasons, Qingyun cannot do it openly, so I have been looking for a Merchant Guild to help."

"It's just a pity that the relationships among the Merchant Guilds in the city are intricate, and it's extremely difficult for Qingyun to find reliable people. Now that I have met Chairman Xu, I have a premonition that you are the one I'm looking for."

"This ore vein, spanning fifty thousand li, Qingyun is offering it with a condition: I need one hundred sets of top-grade armored Dao weapons and one hundred top-grade Dao weapon spears!"

Xu Song heard this and couldn't help but glance at Saen Qingyun.

If he wasn't mistaken, Saen Qingyun must have obtained a certain Thunder Dao battle formation, perhaps one specifically designed to deal with Dao Masters.

After a careful calculation, although the armor and Dao weapons would require other auxiliary Materials, and the Merchant Guild would provide them, this business would be pure profit.

A fifty thousand li ore vein would definitely yield five thousand jin of leilin dao gold, and the armor and Dao weapons Saen Qingyun needed could be purchased for at most 20 billion Chaos Yuan Crystals. If standardized ones were purchased, it might not even cost that much.

Moreover, the Family possessed the Heavenly Weapon Hall. As long as the Materials were sufficient, these Dao weapons were nothing for those Puppets, and the cost could be greatly reduced.

"Young Master Qingyun, I'll take this deal, but I wonder what requirements Young Master Qingyun has for this batch of armored Dao weapons?"

Saen Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "There are no particular requirements. The only requirement is that leilin dao gold must be the main material!"

In his opinion, even an Elementary Supreme Artifact Dao Master wouldn't dare to claim 100% success in refining top-grade Dao weapons.

Therefore, there would inevitably be losses during the refining process. Coupled with his desire to curry favor with Xu Song, he was willing to give up so much profit.

"Alright! One year from now, Qingyun can come to collect the goods!"

Xu Song readily agreed. This way, he would only need to purchase auxiliary Materials. The auxiliary Materials for a Dao weapon were the smallest cost. With the Heavenly Weapon Hall's 100% success rate, all auxiliary Materials could be gathered for at most 3 billion.

"One year?"

Saen Qingyun and the other man were shocked. One must know that these were top-grade Dao weapons, and the difficulty of refining top-grade Dao weapons was no less than that of Emperor weapons. Even a top-tier Artifact Dao Master would need one year or even several years to refine a single top-grade Dao weapon.

He needed two hundred items!

Xu Song's promise of one year, did it mean that the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild had many Artifact Dao Masters, or even Supreme Artifact Dao Masters? If so, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild was definitely a hidden powerhouse.

After all, there were only five Supreme Artifact Dao Masters in the entire Kase Heaven Realm, and only a few dozen top-tier Artifact Dao Masters.

Xu Song naturally knew that what he said was too shocking. However, if Saen Qingyun knew that the Heavenly Weapon Hall could forge all the armored Dao weapons in about a month, what would he think?

"Young Master Qingyun, rest assured, since I said one year, it will be one year!"

Xu Song said proudly, his powerful confidence making Saen Qingyun and the other man hold their breath.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Saen Qingyun nodded repeatedly. Now, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild had risen to an extremely high position in his heart.

Even though he was a member of the Saen Family, he had no confidence in front of Xu Song. After all, looking at the entire Kase Heaven Realm, apart from those few foreign Merchant Guilds, probably no other force had the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild's audacity.

Thinking of this, he dared not neglect and quickly took out a Jade Slip and a token.

"Chairman Xu, this Jade Slip contains the location of that ore vein, and this token controls the ore vein's great formation. I also have people I left there. If you show the token, they can provide Chairman Xu with maximum convenience."

"Good! Then let's draw up a written agreement!"

Soon, both parties had drawn up the agreement, and with the first step of cooperation achieved, both revealed satisfied smiles.

"Young Master, is this Xuanhuang Merchant Guild perhaps a Merchant Guild of the Holy Spirit Race?"

After the two left the Merchant Guild, Sarn Ao asked somewhat doubtfully.

Among the nine Spirit Clans, besides the Holy Spirit Race, the Thunder Spirit Race was the most powerful. This clan was naturally attuned to the Thunder Dao, thus having a natural advantage in refining Thunder-type Dao weapons.

Coupled with the Spirit Clan aura displayed by Xu Song and others, it made him involuntarily associate the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild with the Thunder Spirit Race.

Furthermore, as one of the top ten races in the Ancient Land of Dao, although the Spirit Clan ranked tenth, its strength should not be underestimated. The Spirit Clan occupied four Dao Domains in the Myriad Race Territory, and the Thunder Spirit Race alone controlled one Dao Domain.

Although weaker than the Behemoth Domain, the Thunder Spirit Race alone was stronger than many upper-grade races.

So, if the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild was a force under a major power of the Thunder Spirit Race, everything would make sense.

Saen Qingyun heard this and looked thoughtful.

Then he smiled and said, "No matter who is behind the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild, for me, this is definitely a great help. Although the other party will not interfere in the Saen Family's disputes, I can use the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild to grow stronger."

Saen Qingyun's eyes were filled with smiles. Although he failed to win over the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild on this trip, the other party gave him a huge surprise. With this batch of armored Dao weapons, even if his fourth brother had a Dao Master, he would have no worries.

Of course, this only brought the gap between them back to a certain level. If he wanted to go further and vie for the Clan Chief position, he would inevitably have to deal with the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild.

Thinking of how, in the next hundred years, his brothers would fight fiercely for resources, while he only needed to befriend the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild and develop in secret.

By then, he would surely make a name for himself and shock the entire Kase Heaven Realm.

"Hehe, hahahaha..."

Saen Qingyun couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Sarn Ao, seeing this, was somewhat puzzled...
