374: Monopoly of medicinal materials?

Chapter 374: Monopolizing Medicinal Plants?

"Good!" Ma Tengyun clapped his hands in approval. "I was waiting for Master Wu to say that."

"Spirit Feeding Pills are easy enough to talk about; the main issue is the supply of raw Materials," Wu Xian said, taking the opportunity to state his own needs. "This is also the fundamental reason I wanted to meet with Brother Ma."

"Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine?" Ma Tengyun's expression showed difficulty. "This might be a bit tricky."

"Because of those pharmaceutical families?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

"That's only part of the reason," Ma Tengyun explained. "Ordinary Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine are fine; just gathering the scattered goods on the market is enough. The key is some rare Medicinal Plants and monopolized Medicinal Plants."

"Monopolized Medicinal Plants?" Wu Xian was puzzled.

He could understand rare Medicinal Plants, just like rare Ore, which are relatively uncommon.

But what in the world were monopolized Medicinal Plants?

"Master Wu doesn't know," Ma Tengyun said meaningfully. "Many Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine with stable supplies on the market don't come from the Exotic Beast Realm, but rather are products of some high-end Domains and Domain copies."

"Our Chamber of Commerce can find a way for ordinary and rare Medicinal Plants, but these monopolized Medicinal Plants are difficult to handle."

"Domain output?"

Wu Xian's eyes flickered. He had vaguely felt this possibility just now, and it turned out to be true.

Just like the branches and leaves of the Laurel Tree, they can also be used as Medicine.

In fact, at the Pansi Cave outpost, with the increase in Rank, there were also signs of various Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine growing.

"Which forces primarily control these monopolized Medicinal Plants?" Wu Xian pressed.

"All the major top-tier forces basically have them," Ma Tengyun said. "If they were only controlled by one or two forces, it would still be possible to discuss, but with so many forces, it's really hard to talk."

Wu Xian understood and further inquired, "May I ask what type of Domains primarily produce those Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine?"

"From what I understand, most are fertile lands with beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy."

"Alright." Wu Xian nodded. "Since that's the case, let's just discuss cooperation for ordinary Medicinal Plants. I'll find a way for the other Medicinal Plants myself."

Ma Tengyun smiled confidently. "That's easy to say, it just depends on how much Master Wu can take."

Subsequently, he had an in-depth discussion with Ma Tengyun and signed a series of orders.

Ma Tengyun's side also gave him a great discount.

However, there was also a certain requirement, which was that all future Medicinal Pills would be exclusively distributed by their Wanrong Chamber of Commerce.

Wu Xian had nothing to say about this.

The scroll World is so vast; cooperating with the Wanrong Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly the best choice if one wants to sell various Medicinal Pills all over the world.

"Next, shouldn't we talk about Master Wu's gold scroll works?" Ma Tengyun asked enthusiastically.

"Non-authorized originals might be a bit expensive," Wu Xian mused.

Ma Tengyun smiled calmly, "Understood."

"I'm not particularly short on Spirit Crystals at the moment; instead, I lack various top-tier Materials."

"That's also easy to say," Ma Tengyun's wealthy aura leaked out. "More than half of my collection was acquired in exchange for various precious Materials."

"Are there Materials of Rank 70-80 or Rank 90 and above?" Wu Xian tentatively asked.

Ma Tengyun smiled and asked, "Commander or Lord, or even King Rank?"

"There really are?" Wu Xian was greatly surprised.

"What about Ore? What about Domain Materials?" Wu Xian pressed.

"Yes~ Yes~," Ma Tengyun squinted and chuckled. "Even if we don't have them on hand, we can help you go to various other dimensions to hunt them down, but the price will be a bit expensive."

Hearing this, Wu Xian was greatly astonished. "You also do this kind of 'hiring assassins' business?"

"Doing business, the core is to utilize everything that can be utilized," Ma Tengyun smirked and said. "The Chamber of Commerce has accumulated so many high-quality customers, and among them are some powerful beings of top-tier strength. Everyone has their own needs."

"From a certain perspective, these high-quality customers are also the foundation of our Wanrong Chamber of Commerce's existence."

Wu Xian suddenly understood.

It could only be said that the Wanrong Chamber of Commerce had truly taken business to the extreme.

"Exotic Beast Realm, Rank 67, can you handle an Emperor-level Great Demon?" Wu Xian asked enthusiastically.

"It might be a bit expensive~!" Ma Tengyun chuckled.

"Money is not a problem."

Wu Xian couldn't help but show off his wealth in front of the other party.

"This isn't about money," Ma Tengyun squinted and smiled. "Those powerful Seniors don't care about the numbers in their accounts, and they may not even value Spirit Crystals. It must be something that can move them."

"..." Wu Xian was speechless.

He had thought that money could make the world go round, but it seemed his definition of "money and wealth" was still a bit too narrow.

"Brother, let me give you a hint: your authorized originals of Medicinal Pills will do. The value of Spirit Feeding Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills is too high; Qi Gathering Pills are enough." Ma Tengyun offered advice. "Or, Master Wu can give us some benefits in terms of cooperation, and our Wanrong Chamber of Commerce can operate it for you."

"This matter is not urgent; let me consider it first."

Wu Xian pondered for a moment.

He seemed to be able to handle this kind of "hiring assassins" operation himself.

If he let the old man make a move, it would even be free.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want the old man to personally act, after all, doing such things always carries risks.

"By the way, is this acceptable?"

Wu Xian's eyes flickered, and he pulled out the miniature life source that Miao Youyou had given her.

"life source?!" Ma Tengyun rose in surprise, his gaze at Wu Xian somewhat flickering. "Why does Master Wu have such a thing?"

"A friend from the Miao Family gave it to me, but I'm quite repulsed by things from the Upper Realm, and I don't need it right now," Wu Xian calmly explained, incidentally clarifying his stance.

"Miao Family, huh?" Ma Tengyun realized. "This item is considered hard currency in the top-tier circles, but the dosage is a bit small, so not everyone might be willing to make a move for it."

"Alright." Wu Xian pouted somewhat dejectedly.

He had only intended to use this item to confirm the allure and value of the Lifespan Pill.

Since the life source from the Upper Realm could make those top-tier bigwigs act, the Lifespan Pill naturally could too.

Subsequently, the topic returned to Wu Xian's gold scroll.

Wu Xian organized and listed a batch of Domain Materials and related Materials. Ma Tengyun glanced at them and smiled confidently, "Easy to say. I'll have someone arrange the delivery for you shortly."

"Pleasure working with you." Wu Xian stood up, preparing to leave.

"Pleasure working with you," Ma Tengyun said as he stood up to see him off, then suddenly remembered something. "Oh, by the way, there's a gathering tonight, a banquet. I wonder if Master Wu would be interested in attending?

Those attending are basically some young talents I've befriended in various major forces, and we exchange insights and such."

"Banquet?" Wu Xian mused. "Can I bring a family member?"

After all, he had come out this time to see the world, so giving Ma Tengyun Face was no harm.

"Family member?"

"My partner."

Ma Tengyun's expression was strange. "Yes, yes, but I didn't expect Master Wu, at such a young age, to..."

"It's bound to happen sooner or later, isn't it?" Wu Xian retorted playfully.

"That's true," Ma Tengyun chuckled dumbly. "Then tonight, I await Master Wu and your sister-in-law's presence."
