Immortal Sect Supre Star, Yuhao Tea Society.
Tan Xingyu was in an excellent mood, extrely good, even though he knew that ng Yu exploding people wasn't right, but... Every ti he thought of the Kirin of the Zhao Family being blown up, and another Golden Core dead, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He was a detached person, never getting involved in official matters, but this ti, because he had taken the initiative to request leniency for ng Yu, he had no choice but to spend four months in the council.
During these four months, he had endured a series of attacks from the Zhao Family and the Ouyang Family among others. The attacks ca from all directions, including whether he had taken bribes, whether he had ulterior motives, whether he was suspected of committing a cri, and so on.
This bothered him a lot, sotis making him really want to hit soone.
The experience of four months suddenly reminded him of an article he had seen a long, long ti ago, in a minor world.
"Ever since I announced my candidacy for president, I went from being a noble soul to being a sewer; the slanders against never stopped, culminating in nine children of different colors rushing onto the stage, throwing their arms around my legs and calling 'Daddy!'"
Now, everything was fine, ng Yu's booms from three days earlier had silenced many voices.
For example, a certain collaborator of the Ouyang Family announced the termination of their cooperation imdiately, sending away a certain Golden Core of the Ouyang Family from the planet, claiming it was for everyone's best interest. As for several minor worlds like the Yanyang Star of the Zhao Family, real estate prices started plumting, and many people left directly.
If soone dared to act on the Supre Star, what place wouldn't they dare to act? What couldn't they do?
"Old Tan, actually, you were right not to collaborate privately with ng Yu from the beginning. He's too ruthless," soone said.
Talking with Tan Xingyu were a few of his grain rchant friends, colloquially known as 'dog landlords', figures who would have been called feudal lords and despots in ancient tis.
"Yes, ng Yu has gone down a dark path."
Another grain rchant said acidly, but before he could continue, his cell phone rang. His grandson was calling, urging him to quickly log in to the chat app because ng Yu was online chatting—co check it out.
Normally, when one account logs into the chat software, another would get kicked out. However, many people had previously registered burner accounts and then added ng Yu to groups, right?
His grandson was part of group 10008, having registered a burner account back in the day, and now it ca in handy. At the behest of a few friends, he projected the chat contents onto the wall.
Everyone was very interested in what ng Yu had to say because... when soone becos a king of chaos, their information becos incredibly vital, as was the case now.
ng Yu was chatting in the group about business in the Outer Domain.
Of course, he'd only ntion 'Outer Domain,' never letting on that it was ho to the Immortal Sect—that ace he'd save for later.
"Over there, they lack food, weapons, and various other things from the Immortal Sect, the only thing they're not short on is spirit stones. Guess how much profit I just negotiated a deal for with Big Brother Tan, Tan Xingyu."
ng Yu's words made Tan Xingyu's mouth split with happiness.
Actually, the amount of profit didn't matter to Tan Xingyu; he didn't really care, since how could there possibly be any grain transaction with ng Yu calling the shots like this? It was just lip service.
But this showed that ng Yu was truly righteous.
"Don't speculate wildly, I only casually ntioned last ti that I had too much Spirit Rice here and welcod friends from the Outer Domain to purchase. I asked him to help make contact, and who would have thought, he actually rembered. But... such a transaction likely couldn't happen."
"Yeah, such a deal really couldn't co to fruition. It's the thought that counts with ng Yu."
Others joined in with their sighs.
Next, ng Yu sent a video. It showed a room, quaint and full of ancient charm, where several people entered. The first transaction was for twelve Divine Thunders, the other party boldly offered 100,000 spirit stones.
This transaction reminded everyone of the recent dismbernt case involving Zhao Yuxuan. It turned out, ng Yu had only just bought the Divine Thunders when he couldn't wait to get back and start causing trouble.
Then ca the main event, as a male and female pair of Foundation Establishnt stage approached ng Yu, proposing to purchase ten thousand bundles of Spirit Rice.
Ten thousand bundles of Spirit Rice—hmm, one million jin, that was a considerable amount.
Everyone looked at Tan Xingyu with a hint of pity.
"I won't take advantage of you. How about thirty Spirit Stones in exchange for a hundred jin of first-grade Spirit Rice? I can deliver it to you in a short ti."
Thirty spirit stones for a hundred jin of first-grade Spirit Rice?
This statent seed straight out of a fairy tale, even prompting a grain rchant to pause the video.
Maybe it was one spirit stone for three hundred jin of Spirit Rice, right?
ng Yu must have misspoken. How could the price differ by a hundredfold?
He was kicked by a companion, prompting the video to resu.
Then, ng Yu's performance ensued.
"Ah, ten thousand bundles?"
"Alright, you pay the spirit stones up front, then prepare another two hundred thousand spirit stones. I'll go back shortly and deliver the Spirit Rice to you."
"It's not too much; it's that the quantity is too small. I'm too lazy to go back just for that."
"I have as much as you need, just tell your shortfall directly. How about, get five hundred thousand bundles?"
"Or, five hundred thousand bundles, one million bundles? I also have Second Grade, Third Grade Spirit Rice, do you want any?"
ng Yu's dialogue echoed in everyone's ears, irritating them in a way—but of course, what made everyone even more covetous were the two negotiators opposite ng Yu.
The current grain rchants, each one a sharp cookie, had been through countless negotiations, could see through the couple's act at a glance.
The man was over the moon, wishing he could agree imdiately, while the woman, though her eyes were darting around incredulously, would be ecstatic if you really whipped out ten thousand dan of Spirit Rice at that mont. As for one million dan, she'd call you her dear daddy right there and then! You would be her dear daddy!
They were truly in need of grain, they truly had Spirit Stones!
The trade of thirty million Spirit Stones!
Everyone's eyes turned blood-red with greed. Ten thousand dan of top-grade First Grade Spirit Rice was only worth one million Spirit Stones at the Immortal Sect, which ant this deal had a hundredfold profit, or even more!
As the negotiations progressed without success, everyone could see that the woman wasn't against the trade but afraid of being cheated. Her expression was filled with righteousness. Ah no, it scread 'simpletons with heavy wallets, co hither'!
As long as you have Spirit Rice.
"Are Spirit Rice prices really that high over there?"
The major grain farrs at the scene licked their dry lips with burning tongues.
"Right, there seed to be no demand for the newness of the Spirit Rice; there's a big difference in price between new and old rice."
"What about the classification, the quality? No demands either, just a flat price? Old Tan, I have so old rice here, no problem with the price..."
Everyone was murmuring as if sleepwalking until Tan Xingyu's communication device rang. He saw that ng Yu had finally added him as a friend and requested a video call.
Even as a Golden Core Expert, his heart raced faster than when he first fell in love.
"Big Brother Tan, how are you?"
"I'm great, ng Yu, I'm really great. How have you been doing lately?"
Tan Xingyu's expression softened like never before, his servile manner so acute that even his friends around him jostled to get in front of the cara, their smiles blossoming like chrysanthemums.
"Big Brother Tan, I've secured a big deal for you in the Outer Domain: one million dan of First Grade Spirit Rice. Please prepare it. In three to six months, I'll co to collect it. Do you want cash or Spirit Stones?"
"Spirit Stones, Spirit Stones!"
At that mont, Tan Xingyu felt like his heart was soaring. Thirty million Spirit Stones, thirty million! With that many Spirit Stones, he'd be the number one looker in the Immortal Sect, a super looker even past his pri.
"Alright, one million Spirit Stones for the lot. What do you think of that price?"
"One million... Spirit Stones?"
Tan Xingyu's mood plumted from heaven to hell in that mont. He suddenly felt that ng Yu was not human, but a beast!
"Big Brother Tan, the negotiations and acquisitions on our side were exhausting, and we took on risks. Big Brother Tan, one million Spirit Stones is honestly the highest price we can offer. Blood is thicker than water, and others would only pay half. What do you say?"
ng Yu's voice was amiable, but at that mont, Tan Xingyu really wanted to reach through the phone screen, grab ng Yu by the collar and demand to know where his conscience was, whether he had any humanity left at all.
You pocket twenty-nine million of a thirty million Spirit Stone deal!
How could there possibly be a middleman pocketing ninety-nine percent of the profit!!
Then, he felt a pain in his back.
That was his close brothers pinching, squeezing, even stabbing him with Sword Qi, reminding him to make money, not to lose face! One million Spirit Stones was actually a very, very decent price; agree already, ng Yu truly sees you like a big brother!
Soone even controlled his face with True Qi to make him smile!
This money had to be earned even if it ant kneeling!
"Thank you, Ah Yu, thank you, little brother ng Yu, I'm really grateful for this trade. The Spirit Rice won't be a problem; I will deliver on ti and treat you to a drink."
"Okay, I'll contact you later."
"Brother Ah Yu, when the ti cos, should I prepare so Second and Third Grade Spirit Rice as samples for them to try? All good stuff, free of charge, you just need to help promote them there."
The pain in his back persisted as ruthless friends scratched words onto his back with Geng tal Sword Qi and close relatives cut into his flesh with the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, pleading for his assistance in giving away free samples.
"No problem, starting a business overseas to repay the Immortal Sect is my duty. Goodbye, Big Brother Tan."
"Thank you, Ah Yu, thank you, dear brother."
Tan Xingyu waited a trembling ten seconds after ng Yu hung up the phone before finally putting it down!
He looked at his companions, their eyes as bloodshot as his, looking like n who had just been cuckolded, yet maintaining a smiling face that scread 'sorry for the poor hospitality'!
The food business was about high volu and low margins, everyone was used to it, but today...
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Tan Xingyu's heartache was imasurable as he wailed there, truly wailing with clenched fists!
One million dan of Spirit Rice was a huge amount; he couldn't handle it alone and had to source from elsewhere. One million Spirit Stones was a significant amount; paynts were usually made in cash, not this kind of hard currency. Now he had to...
Why could ng Yu make twenty-nine million Spirit Stones while he only made one million?
No, no, that's not the right way to calculate it. That one million included a huge amount of seeds, fertilizers, labor, blood, sweat, costs, and yes, the damn Immortal Sect taxes. If he could keep two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, that would already be great!
ng Yu was so magnanimous, just a few words and his profit was a thousandfold!
That's right, the bragging contest in the group chat continued.
