310: trade

For the Cultivation World, a Cultivation Technique means a powerful Sect. Even if the technique is of low rank, because no one else has it, it makes one a leader, allowing them to get a head start on many things, and then rely on vast resources and talent to build up a powerful Sect!

Realizing this, Qi Huaiyi took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "That is indeed the case! However, my Old Ancestor is in great need of this Cultivation Technique. How can I enable him to Cultivate it?"

Long Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "A value equivalent to one billion xuan stones in xuan coins or resources, plus three instances of intervening to protect Prince Fu's Mansion!"

"Ah, this?!" Qi Huaiyi trembled all over. Thinking of the one hundred million xuan coins on the card in his hand, he deeply suspected that Long Yuan had overheard his Old Ancestor's instructions to him...

In fact, his heart was still with the Qi Family. After all, between the Qi Family and Long Yuan, he definitely favored the Qi Family. Therefore, his conversation with Long Yuan just now had hidden motives; he intentionally did not reveal Qi Xuming's psychological bottom line, letting Long Yuan state the price and conditions himself. In his view, given Long Yuan's age and experience, it was impossible for him to have such a large appetite, so it was unlikely he would name a shocking price. But now, the conditions Long Yuan proposed not only far exceeded the set bottom line but also included additional terms!

Long Yuan looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "If you cannot decide for yourself, you can also contact your Old Ancestor to ask."

"Oh, right! Immediately!" Qi Huaiyi realized; since he couldn't handle it, he didn't need to. He should just let the Old Ancestor make the decision himself.

The call connected quickly. On the other end of the phone, after quietly listening to Qi Huaiyi's report, Qi Xuming said in a deep voice the very next second, "Buy it!"

Sure enough, not long after, Qi Huaiyi received a mobile text notification saying that nine hundred million xuan coins had been added to the card in his hand. He was completely stunned; when had he ever been this wealthy?!

It was just a pity that the money had to be handed over before it was even warm in his hands. He tremblingly handed the card to Long Yuan and said, "Long Yuan, there are one billion xuan coins in this card. As for that additional condition..."

"Hmm, I believe your Old Ancestor will certainly be able to fulfill it. There is no need to sign any contract. Just give me your Old Ancestor's contact information directly. When the time comes, if there is a real need, both Prince Fu and I can contact him directly!" Long Yuan said.

"No problem, my Old Ancestor should have the same intention!" Qi Huaiyi said, handing a specially made business card to Long Yuan.

Long Yuan took it and glanced at it, seeing Qi Xuming's portrait on the card, so he nodded and said, "Very good! Then I shall first wish your Old Ancestor prosperity on his Immortal Dao, and the Qi Family flourishing success!"

He took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Qi Huaiyi, saying, "The 'Great Sun Burning Heaven Art' is inside. You only need to place it against your forehead and use Spiritual Power to sense it to read it. Others without Spiritual Power will not be able to sense it."

"It's actually like that?"

"Otherwise?"

Qi Huaiyi gave a sheepish smile. He had thought he could get a free Cultivation Technique, but he didn't know that without Spiritual Power, one couldn't even see it, let alone get it for free. However, since the technique was in the Old Ancestor's hands, he would still have a chance to see it in the future thanks to his contributions.

He soon bid farewell to Long Yuan and, not daring to pause for a moment, immediately took a plane back to the Qi Family in Yingtian Prefecture. There were no accidents along the way. In fact, what he did not know was that the Old Ancestor, Qi Xuming, had been following him in secret the whole time, helping him mask a great deal of his Qi, such that the various secret scouts watching the Qi Family's movements hadn't even noticed him leaving...

When Long Yuan was speaking with Qi Huaiyi, he did not point out that Qi Xuming was hiding nearby eavesdropping. Many of the things he said to Qi Huaiyi were actually meant for Qi Xuming to hear, which could be considered explaining some things about the Cultivation World to him. It was precisely these things that made Qi Xuming truly understand the immense value contained in this Cultivation Technique; it was simply a priceless treasure, so he readily agreed to the conditions proposed by Long Yuan.

One billion xuan coins might seem like a huge sum, but for a super family like the Qi Family, it was nothing. For the future world, it was even less than minimal; in the Lingqi Era, these xuan stones would almost become useless items. Therefore, the real price was actually those three interventions!

Situations requiring a Cultivator to intervene would certainly be matters of immense importance for the Profound Qi world, and this value was extremely vast. Furthermore, the target Long Yuan specified was Prince Fu's Mansion. This Prince Fu's Mansion was the largest fat sheep in the Great Ming; no one knew how many people were eyeing it, so the situations to be faced in the future would very likely be extremely complicated. However, Qi Xuming did not care too much. On one hand, his own strength had already reached the level of a Martial King. On the other hand, if he cultivated this Immortal technique, his strength would surely soar again. By then, he would not even fear the arrival of Martial Saints or Martial Gods, so three interventions were not too much trouble.

Qi Huaiyi hurriedly arrived outside Qi Xuming's cultivation Immortal Cave. After receiving permission, he cautiously walked in and saw Qi Xuming leisurely brewing tea...

Seeing the Old Ancestor's calm and unruffled appearance, Qi Huaiyi was truly impressed from the bottom of his heart. How could this possibly look like someone who had just paid one billion xuan coins and agreed to protect Prince Fu's Mansion three times at such a great cost?

It seemed the Old Ancestor had already reached the stage of returning to simplicity!

"Old Ancestor, your great-grandson has successfully completed the mission! This is the 'Great Sun Burning Heaven Art' purchased from Long Yuan this time!!!" Qi Huaiyi said excitedly.

"Hmm, very good! Put it aside for now and join me in tasting some tea. These tea leaves are Mingqian tea picked fresh this year, the taste is passable..."

"Ah... Thank you, Old Ancestor!!!" Qi Huaiyi was flattered and hurriedly sat down to accompany him in drinking tea. Sure enough, after one cup of tea went down, his eyes lit up. He felt he had never drunk such good tea before, and the Xuan Power in his body had even increased slightly. He suddenly remembered that the Qi Family had a thousand-year-old tea tree that could only produce a mere thirty-plus catties of tea leaves each year, but it was rumored that those tea leaves were top-tier tea, with astonishing value. Could it be that the tea the Old Ancestor was brewing was that very tea?

His heart trembled. He had actually managed to taste such tea leaves. He had to know that in all his years in the Qi Family, he had never been able to drink such good tea. If it weren't for the fact that he was running errands for the Old Ancestor, he probably wouldn't have had such a treat...

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you would actually find such an Opportunity for me. In the future, you must maintain a good relationship with Long Yuan. If he needs your help with anything, go ahead and handle it; the clan will support you!" Qi Xuming stroked his beard and laughed.

"Yes! This great-grandson respectfully obeys the Old Ancestor's order!"

"Hmm, tell me about the content of your conversation when you met this time..."

"Yes!" Qi Huaiyi hurriedly began to narrate.
