484: Chapter 484 The Deal is Completed

Three days later.

Star Palace.

The starlight across the sky solidified, and the palace high above the city emitted a soft glow. Looking up from the city below, it resembled a bright moon immortal palace.

The Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array could not only borrow the power of the earth's ley lines but also channel the power of the stars in the heavens. The longer the array was in place, the stronger the gathered starlight became.

Heavenly Sword True Monarch, True Monarch Chongming, and True Monarch Yunshang sat in the main hall. Feeling the vast starlight power of the Star Palace, they all felt somewhat apprehensive.

The three had been invited to the Star Palace to discuss matters. Although the invitation stated it was from Liu Xuan, they assumed Peach Blossom Demon Lord was the one behind it.

Since the Pioneering War began, Peach Blossom Demon Lord had been in a very bad mood. She had nearly killed Ye Gu, the True Monarch Jimie of the Beast Taming Sect, and had even dared to directly confront the true body of Demon Saint Xuanyu. Recently, she had even clashed with Demon Lord Chixia, showing no Face to Daoist Lord Lihuo.

Peach Blossom Demon Lord was domineering with a hint of madness. If she made excessive demands later, should they agree or not?

If they agreed, they represented the Azure Profound Sect, and yielding so easily would be shameful. If they didn't, Peach Blossom Demon Lord was a ruthless person; if she actually attacked, they would have no way to resist.

While the three were deep in thought, several streaks of light flashed at the entrance of the Star Palace, and three people slowly walked in.

One was an extraordinarily handsome and elegantly refined Young Master, one was a cold woman emitting a faint Demonic Qi, and one was a thin, elderly Daoist with an immortal air.

The Young Master had the lowest cultivation, only at the Golden Core Realm, yet he walked at the front. The woman and the old Daoist, both at the Nascent Soul Realm, followed behind him like attendants.

"I am Liu Xuan. Greetings to Heavenly Sword True Monarch, True Monarch Chongming, and True Monarch Yunshang."

Liu Xuan cupped his hands and bowed to each of the three.

Heavenly Sword True Monarch was a haughty middle-aged man with sharp features and a natural sense of aloofness.

True Monarch Chongming had a square Face and a serious expression, exuding authority without anger. He wore a dark cloak, which further emphasized his temperament.

True Monarch Yunshang was the most unique, shrouded in a cloud-white gauze garment that only allowed a blurry silhouette to be seen.

These three True Monarch powerhouses were figures Liu Xuan had admired greatly in his youth. He had met Heavenly Sword True Monarch before while following True Lord Haoran, but it was his first time seeing the other two up close.

The three True Monarchs, mindful of their status, did not say much to a Golden Core True Person like Liu Xuan, only casually cupping their hands in return.

Liu Xuan didn't mind. He paced to the seat of honor on his own and said, "The three of you should recognize this Demon Lord Bai. Allow me to introduce this gentleman first."

He turned and raised his hand, gesturing toward the elderly man beside him. "From the Central State Dao Court, Tiangong Immortal City's tier 4 medium grade Artifact Refining Great Master, True Monarch Zhou Qingwei."

The three below narrowed their eyes slightly. They could see that Zhou Qingwei had an extraordinary bearing and likely a significant background, but they hadn't expected him to be from the Dao Court, let alone a tier 4 medium grade Artifact Refining Great Master.

The Beast Taming Sect was an existence they looked up to, but the Central State Dao Court was the Holy Land of the Human Race in the entire Cultivation World!

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

The three stood up and bowed, their attitude a world apart from how they had treated Liu Xuan.

This wasn't because they were snobbish, but rather a habit rooted deep in their way of thinking.

To most True Monarchs, the power Liu Xuan gained by fawning over others was not worth mentioning, even contemptible.

Cultivation Realm was the foundation of the immortal path. No matter how much power Liu Xuan held, he was ultimately just a Golden Core Cultivator. Without a Breakthrough in cultivation, he could never stand on equal footing with them.

Zhou Qingwei casually cupped his hands. "No need to mind me. Today, my young brother Liu has matters to discuss with you. Just listen to him."

Liu Xuan wasted no more time. With a wave of his sleeve, a swarm of shimmering white sword light emerged, and countless tiny Flying Swords hovered in the air.

The three True Monarchs swept their Divine Senses over them and immediately recognized that these were all tier 2 medium grade thousand star flying swords, each one identical.

A full thirty thousand!

The shimmering white sword light and the starlight in the hall complemented each other, as if each Flying Sword were a star.

With a slight movement of Liu Xuan's Divine Sense, the sword light surged. The thirty thousand thousand star flying swords fused into three thousand tier 2 high grade Flying Swords, then into one thousand tier 2 peak grade Flying Swords, and finally into three hundred Third-rank Low-grade Magic Treasure Flying Swords.

Three hundred tier 3 magic treasure Flying Swords, which could even be directly refined into Lifebound Treasures, held a truly terrifying value.

"Three hundred Third-rank Low-grade Flying Swords. How many Spirit Stones do you think they are worth?" Liu Xuan asked.

Heavenly Sword True Monarch stood up abruptly and asked in a low voice, "Are you really selling them?"

He had carefully examined the thousand star flying swords; they were incredibly wondrous, with a value at least a grade higher than those on the market.

Because of their property of aggregating to increase in rank, they could even be considered strategic weapons for a Sword Cultivator Sect.

"Naturally," Liu Xuan smiled. "I invited you here; if I weren't selling, wouldn't I be playing with you?"

Seeing their lingering doubts, Liu Xuan looked at Zhou Qingwei and explained, "The thousand star flying swords were meticulously crafted by Brother Zhou. Not just these thirty thousand; if we reach a cooperation, there can be a long-term supply in the future."

Zhou Qingwei's reputation was clearly more effective than Liu Xuan's. Heavenly Sword True Monarch no longer hesitated and said boldly, "My Heavenly Sword Sect will take them all. Name your price, young friend!"

"Hmph!"

True Monarch Chongming snorted coldly. "Fellow Daoist Heavenly Sword sure thinks highly of himself. Do you take me for nothing?!"

True Monarch Yunshang didn't speak, but his aura faintly leaked out, clearly also very dissatisfied with Heavenly Sword True Monarch.

Heavenly Sword True Monarch didn't even look at the two, only looking up at Liu Xuan, waiting for his reply.

"The price is negotiable!" Liu Xuan took a Third-rank Low-grade Thousand Star Sword from the air, and the blade transformed into the size of a normal Flying Sword. "The average price for an ordinary tier 2 medium grade Flying Sword is six to eight thousand Spirit Stones. My thousand star flying sword is worth at least a grade higher. How about twenty thousand per sword?"

"Deal!"

The three True Monarchs said simultaneously.

One Third-rank Low-grade thousand star flying sword was composed of one hundred tier 2 medium grade thousand star flying swords. This meant a Third-rank Low-grade Flying Sword only cost two million Spirit Stones—an absolute steal!

Liu Xuan was essentially giving them money by pricing the thousand star flying swords at the rate of ordinary, trash Flying Swords.

"Don't be in such a hurry, everyone!" Liu Xuan interrupted. "The price will be as I just said, but I don't want Spirit Stones. I want an equivalent deduction for goods purchased by the Liu Clan Merchant Alliance."

"Thirty thousand swords for each Sect, cash on delivery. The specific prices will be coordinated between the Merchant Alliance and your Sect's representatives. How about it?"

The three immediately understood Liu Xuan's plan. The reason he gave them such a cheap price was to solve the Merchant Alliance's inventory shortage issue.

If Vast Gathering Pavilion ran out of stock and the variety of goods decreased, it would lead to a decline in reputation and trust.

"No problem. I will send someone to discuss it after I return."

Heavenly Sword True Monarch was the first to nod. This was a good thing for him. Previously, the Liu Clan Merchant Alliance had cooperated with many small Sects under him, and the people below had taken a lot of the benefits. Now that they were dealing directly with him, there was profit to be made in itself.

"I also agree. I just hope young friend Liu doesn't temporarily raise the price to trick me," True Monarch Chongming said.

"The True Monarch worries too much. My Liu Clan Merchant Alliance values integrity above all and never tells lies."
