“The resources the league had previously given was according to the standard market price,” said Lang Fantian after discussing with Feng Guohai, “It was approximately equivalent to six hundred thousand pieces of upper-class spiritual jade.”

“According to what we’ve agreed upon, we have supplied superior heaven and earth resources and mystical steel pieces in exchange for Brother Yun’s yield from the Spirit’s Grave this time around. However, this Qi of vitality is too precious, so much so that if we proceed with the deal as it stands, it would inevitably be a loss to Brother Yun. Therefore, if Brother Yun agrees with the stated quote, the General Commerce League will now owe Brother Yun four hundred thousand pieces of upper-class spiritual jade. It’s either that or items worth four hundred thousand upper-class spiritual jade pieces!”

“Brother Yun, what do you think? Do you have any opposing thoughts on the matter? Please don’t hesitate to speak your mind freely!” Lang Fantian questioned carefully.

It was a different set of circumstances now. The Qi of vitality Yun Yang provided was divinely effective and scarce. Naturally, he would become the party with the upper hand, thus Lang Fantian had become much more relenting.

“I don’t have any opinion on this.”

Yun Yang agreed easily with only the slightest bit of consideration.

The Qi of vitality was quoted at the highest possible price, while the resources were valued at a middle price as cited by the General Commerce League. The price difference between the two was already a huge sum. Regardless of perspective, this transaction was a reflection of the General Commerce League’s sincerity.

Honestly, they had achieved an agreement regarding this deal earlier on. Their bargain was the one- time supply of resources for Yun Yang’s one-time reaping from the Spirit’s Grave. Now that the item from the Spirit’s Grave had exceeded their initial expectations, it was the league’s shrewdness that allowed their investment to enjoy significant returns. There was no fault if they failed to compensate Yun Yang for the price difference but their current initiative to suggest filling the spread was evidence of their additional kindness and sincerity!

Yun Yang was further impressed, thinking to himself, ‘The General Commerce League’s Chief is truly a notable figure! The integrity shown now is admirable. It’s no wonder he could create a colossus like the General Commerce League.’

“Having said that, do you want the spread to be reimbursed in spiritual jade or resources, Brother Yun?” asked Lang Fantian.

Yun Yang gave it a quick thought and answered, “A hundred thousand pieces of upper-class spiritual jade and three hundred thousand upper-class spiritual jade worth of heaven and earth resources. What do you think, Vice Chief Lang?”

“Alright, it’s a deal,” replied Lang Fantian without hesitation.

He then opened his spatial ring and rummaged through it, moving the items he picked up into another ring and passing it to Yun Yang. “Brother Yun, there are a hundred thousand pieces of upper-class spiritual jade and three hundred thousand pieces of upper-class spiritual jade worth of heaven and earth resources inside. Keeper Feng, do explain to Brother Yun. He’s only arrived at the Bound of Universe not long ago, he may not know all of the items.”

Feng Guohai nodded. “Necessarily.”

Both of them went through the items on the spot. Feng Guohai was familiar with the goods that Lang Fantian had given, recounting their origin one by one and concluding that the value could only be more, not less. They were worth approximately three hundred and twenty to thirty thousand.

Yun Yang called for Little Fatty. The latter made a rough estimation, evaluating that the total value of these heaven and earth resources should be around three hundred and forty thousand or even more.

The obvious deviation between both parties’ estimation was at least a hundred thousand pieces of upper-class spiritual jade. It was a massive amount of wealth but Feng Guohai apparently lowered his total evaluation to further display the General Commerce League’s sincerity. They had gone to the extreme, afraid of any discord that would interrupt their future partnership.

The stances, attitude, and resources were laid out accordingly; of course, the end was mutual happiness.

Currently, the payment for Yun Yang’s entrance to the Spirit’s Grave was already made. It was the three spiritual herbs and over ten pieces of mystical steel. The four hundred thousand additional upper-class spiritual jade now was basically, Yun Yang’s personal reward. Perhaps, it could also be considered the benefit the General Commerce League was giving Yun Yang the deal’s profit.

In spite of it, the dividend of four hundred thousand upper-class spiritual jade was more than what one would call lavish. It was pure exaggeration.

Yun Yang knew to quit while he was ahead, intending for a mutual gain, and said, “We’ll take this batch of resources as three hundred and thirty thousand, meaning that I’ve taken thirty thousand upper-class spiritual jade in advance for our next transaction.”

After some courteous exchanges, Lang Fantian and the others agreed to it happily.

Yun Yang was well aware that the other party was so polite because of the Spirit’s Grave – more likely, due to the big boss inside who knew how to control and seal the divine sense. They feared the figure inside too much, thus contributing to the current reality.

If he did not have such a tactic, he would have long been captured and imprisoned, unable to escape for life.

The so-called vacant physique was a rare gift, maybe unique in existence, but it was not irreplaceable. At least, it was incomparable to the value of the Spirit’s Grave. His ability to unlock the Spirit’s Grave was his biggest trump card of staying alive!

It was one thing that the league was fearful of, however, and it was another matter that they could engage in fair trade and mutual respect. Since Yun Yang was already at an advantage, he chose not go overboard. Otherwise, it would be futile if their initial joyous cooperation turned sour…

“If so, when do you plan to go in again, Brother Yun?” Lang Fantian’s usually calm demeanor was replaced with impatient excitement.

Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi’s eyes were sparkling as well.

The next trip meant differently from the previous one. The involvement was too big. Not only was Li Yixin in need of the vitality Qi, but both of them were also desperately vying for it as well.

‘The both of us… don’t have many years…’

Feng Guohai put their emotions into words instead. “Can you enter now, successively?”

“Elder Feng, how could you ask this…” Yun Yang chuckled dryly.

Feng Guohai replied with an awkward chortle.

He understood everything but not others.

“Theoretically, entering now is doable,” Yun Yang said frankly but helplessly, “After all, the senior in the Spirit’s Grave requires these items eagerly too… From this point of view, he’d welcome it the more often we enter.”

“However, if we enter now and bring along sufficient heaven and earth resources, in addition to the incredibly short gap between two trips and the excellence of the resources that fares much better than the last… He’d inevitably feel that it’s become easy for me to collect these goods and lower the trade gain.”

Yun Yang continued.

“It’s greatly disadvantageous that what we gain will be lowered but if the senior fixes the period of the transaction directly… we’ll be in too passive a position. Even if he doesn’t fix the duration but increases the value, it’ll become increasingly difficult for us. I believe that there’s a limit to the resources you guys can collect as well.”

“Based on this premise, I hope that what I send in for exchange in the future won’t suffer from inflation due to our impatience.”

Yun Yang said genuinely, “So our current priority should emphasize long-term partnership. If things become hard or even turn into a deadlock, our future is bleak; we’ve neglected the essentials. Furthermore, the Qi of vitality is precious and magical, but there aren’t too many seniors who’re troubled by old age like Song and Li Elder and Wan and Bai Elder in the league, am I right? I don’t think you’ll divert all your attention to the Qi of vitality, would you? I believe that the Spirit’s Grave may not necessarily have nothing better than the Qi of vitality. Blindly expending too many resources for the Qi of vitality… and not have the capital in exchange for anything better…”

The last chuckle was pointedly strained.
