Chapter 999: Good Idea
Yun Yang observed the heaven and earth treasures and the pile of mystical steels in the spatial ring. His expression was nonchalant and his gaze was unfazed, but in the deepest regions of his heart, he was overjoyed!
Although he was uncertain of the origins and potency of the resources he had just received due to his limited knowledge regarding this realm, it did not prevent him from understanding that everything inside the ring was remarkably excellent.
There was a copious number of great things!
In truth, it was not only Yun Yang who was overjoyed. There was someone else who was more exaggerated in expressing joy than he did – Wahaha!
“Ayaya – Ayaya – Ayaya!” Emmie was shrieking within the deific consciousness space at the very first moment Yun Yang took the ring. It was exceptionally impatient to grab hold of the bounty.
‘So much good stuff?’
‘Give them to me, give them to me quickly!’
“Let us confirm the prices first.” Yun Yang shook all the items out from the ring, which formed a formidable pile on the floor.
“A junior like me doesn’t know much. Elder Feng, would you please do the honors? You can quote higher prices, don’t feel shy.”
Feng Guohai felt so upset that the corners of his mouth were twitching. “These are all heaven and earth treasures. Why did you shake them out so roughly, Brother Yun? You have to hold and place them gently on the ground, so you don’t damage their quality…”
“Ah, I’m truly sorry. I saw that there was such a big pile that I didn’t think of it. People say that scarcity makes the item precious… It’s my mistake,” Yun Yang said with a chuckle. Despite his apology, his expression did not mirror his words.
The men from the General Commerce League were appalled.
For a junior, a young one, like Yun Yang, it was forgivable that he did not know how to care for the heaven and earth treasures when he was suddenly presented with a large stockpile that he did not even recognize due to his lack of knowledge. In spite of this, to say that the items were precious due to their scarcity here was a statement that was too naïve, even for him!
It was unbeknownst to them that Yun Yang personally had no qualms about it.
Forget that he was shaking everything out of the ring, it would be fine even if he threw them out. If an item was broken or spoiled, it could be recovered instantly by Emmie without any difficulty.
Yun Yang’s quest for the heaven and earth resources was focused more on obtaining a mother plant. Once he had the first one, Emmie could replicate plenty of it. For an item to be precious due to its scarcity, it only applied to the first specimen; the rest that followed would not be precious anymore.
This was how arrogant and superior one playing with an advantage would be, yet this sense of pride was not known to the others!
“Our league’s heaven and earth treasures this time around can at least be exchanged for five million upper-class spiritual jade pieces while the mystical steels amount to two million upper-class spiritual jade pieces.”
The final result of the quotation was none other than an astronomical figure.
Seven million upper class spiritual jade pieces!
That would be seventy billion pieces of lower-class spiritual jade!
Feng Guohai said, “This Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng of one hundred and fifty thousand years would already bring about two million upper-class spiritual jade as a starting price of an auction. Quoting it for three million per plant is really the bare minimum…” He sighed heavily as he spoke.
Yun Yang had no objections regarding the price. The age of one hundred and fifty thousand years alone was already an extremely precious and one of a kind existence.
“Okay, we’ll go by Elder Feng’s quotation. According to the ratio of our previous transactions, the resources we have here will suffice for seven attempts…”
Yun Yang showcased his commendable mathematics skill before swiftly changing the topic.
“Still, there’s something I must mention first. The exchange ratio of each batch of resources valued at one million upper-class spiritual jade pieces is made according to the last trade. I can’t be certain if the Spirit’s Grave senior will provide a similar exchange ratio. I can only make sure that I’ll persuade him as much as I can when I enter to maximize the opportunity of obtaining a portion of the vitality Qi. I honestly can’t guarantee anything else. Also – and most importantly – even if the ratio is determined and there are six more trades minus today’s, the next transaction must be carried out after some period of time. There mustn’t be another trade so soon after.”
“I understand. Please try your best, Brother Yun. All of us from the league thank you for your contribution,” Xiao Wuyi answered, staring at the Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng reluctantly, feeling somewhat distressed.
“Sigh, let us discuss the distribution strategy and begin shortly after. I’m very busy recently.” Yun Yang took out some of his resources as well and combined the items from both sides. With the help of Feng Guohai and colleagues, they separated the goods into seven piles quickly.
The total value of the other six heaps was more or less the same, but the Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng formed a mound of its own. After all, it was the minimum to quote the herb for three million spiritual jade pieces; there was simply no way for it to go lower.
Yun Yang had quit while he was ahead, taking out seven spatial rings and storing each bundle into each ring.
“I plan to only take the Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng this time,” Yun Yang said musing, “I’ll also just bring another fifty thousand upper-class spiritual jade pieces. I won’t enter with other treasures or mystical steels then.”
Xiao Wuyi and the rest of the group considered the opinion quickly before cheering in unison, “Good idea.”
“I’ve always trusted Elder Feng’s price estimation. Since this Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng can be taken as three million upper-class spiritual jade, then it should be rather significant to the senior in the Spirit’s Grave. At least, compared to the goods from the last trade, its value would increase threefold. I believe that the Spirit’s Grave senior won’t be stingy on this. He’ll only reciprocate even more…” Yun Yang replied.
“Although we were the ones who took the initiative to meet him despite the short period this time, it’s up to how I talk… As long as I enter with a precious treasure now, it won’t look like I purposely separated what I have into two trips, but it’s still subject to luck. More so, it’s like I’ve thought of the Spirit’s Grave at the very first instant when I’ve gotten the treasure and passed it to the senior. I believe that all of you can appreciate the complexities of the situation!”
Yun Yang looked shy, but he was, in fact, in his element. He paused for a beat and continued.
“I believe that we can obtain what we require with the highest chance possible… I think that this is the most convincing strategy. It’d even be a matter of course if we gain more… What do you think?”
“An excellent tactic indeed!”
Everyone else praised him simultaneously.
“If so, please wait for a moment. I’ll get to work now.”
Yun Yang entered the meditation room after he spoke.
Xiao Wuyi sat down, crossing his legs. His face was stoic as if he had gone into the meditative state.
“Boss, don’t you check with your divine senses!” Lang Fantian quickly warned once he saw him.
Coughing, Xiao Wuyi asked awkwardly, “How did you know…”
Lang Fantian, Feng Guohai, and the others answered with a sense of lingering fear. “We’ve tried it. That’s suicide…”
As they talked without checking with their deific consciousness, they had still felt the disappearance of Yun Yang in the meditation room from their instincts as a martial artist.
It was like he no longer existed within this heaven and earth!
Xiao Wuyi knew about this, but when he actually experienced it himself, the shock had still coursed through him. His stoic expression earlier was all but gone.
Could the Spirit’s Grave truly be so magical?
