Chapter 202: Negotiation

After the Dongxuan Auction ended.

Most of the cultivators who came to attend the auction did not leave Dongxuan City immediately.

Among them.

Some stayed to digest their gains from the auction.

In the current situation, staying in Dongxuan City to digest these gains was undoubtedly the safest option.

Some stayed for the goods in the Dongxuan Market.

Having gone through the trouble of coming to Dongxuan City, if they hadn't gained anything at the auction, they naturally wouldn't return empty-handed.

In the Dongxuan Market, all kinds of cultivation supplies were available, and naturally, there were items they needed.

Especially various types of Nuclear Explosion Pills, combat puppets, and flying boats below the Fifth Order, which were all among their procurement targets.

Therefore, after the Dongxuan Auction ended, the Dongxuan Market instead ushered in a buying frenzy.

However, Ye Qingxuan did not choose to sell the items that appeared at the Dongxuan Auction in the Dongxuan Market for the time being.

In a mere Star Fall Continent, the market for the Fifth Order and above was very limited.

If the Dongxuan Market released unlimited quantities of various Fifth and Sixth Order items, the market would easily become saturated.

By then, the prices of various Fifth and Sixth Order items would inevitably begin to fall.

For the sake of long-term profit, Ye Qingxuan decided that most Fifth and Sixth Order items in the future would be sold through irregularly held auctions.

Sold in limited quantities in the form of an auction.

Only in this way could profits be maximized.

On Mount Wanling.

Ye Qingxuan was taking inventory of the gains from this auction.

The total transaction amount of the first Dongxuan City auction was approximately 12 million Upper Grade spirit stones.

The profit from this was nearly 10 million Upper Grade spirit stones.

Most of the items in this auction were refined by Ye Qingxuan himself.

Only the final custom slots for Sixth Order Supreme talismans and Supreme artifacts needed to be refined by others within the Xuantian Sect.

These two auction items had the highest transaction prices and also the highest costs.

Although some details of this auction were not handled well.

But relatively speaking, the Dongxuan Auction was undoubtedly a success.

Ye Qingxuan believed that once the news of the Dongxuan Auction spread, it would inevitably attract a large flow of customers to the Dongxuan Market.

At the same time, Dongxuan City would also be feared by major forces in the outside world.

Before figuring out the true foundation of Dongxuan City, outside forces would definitely not dare to rashly take action against Dongxuan City.

In this way, it could save Ye Qingxuan a lot of trouble.

After all, his external avatar came to the Eastern Extreme Region to do business and scrape resources, not to fight and kill.

Stroking the mountain of spirit stones in front of him, Ye Qingxuan revealed a satisfied expression.

He never thought he had too many spirit stones; he only worried about having too few.

Suddenly, Ye Qingxuan was stunned and asked with some confusion: "Hmm? Why is he here to find me?"

With a wave of his hand, he put away all the spirit stones and sent a voice transmission to the guard team at the foot of Mount Wanling: "Let him come up!"

After speaking, this external avatar of Ye Qingxuan disappeared, and in its place was a Sixth Order combat puppet with an appearance identical to the avatar, replacing Ye Qingxuan's external avatar.

Not long after doing all this, the teleportation array outside the City Lord's Mansion hall lit up slightly, and a figure slowly appeared.

The person who came was none other than Cheng Yuan, the Sect Master of the Huangji Sect.

After Cheng Yuan walked into the hall, he quietly looked at the figure sitting high in the seat of honor without speaking.

The puppet controlled by Ye Qingxuan stared at Cheng Yuan, also without speaking.

After a long while, Cheng Yuan was the first to lose his patience and said:

"Gui Xuanzi, are you not prepared to give this Venerable one an explanation?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan sneered: "Heh, an explanation? What kind of explanation?" "Your Dongxuan City guard team privately executed a Nascent Soul Elder of my Huangji Sect. You must hand over the culprit and provide compensation, otherwise..."

Before Cheng Yuan could finish speaking, Ye Qingxuan directly and domineeringly interrupted him:

"Otherwise? Otherwise, what do you want to do? My Dongxuan City accepts it all."

"Luo Jiutian violated my Dongxuan laws and deserved to die. The people of my Dongxuan City did nothing wrong, and we will not provide any compensation."

Seeing Ye Qingxuan so domineering and full of confidence, Cheng Yuan fell into silence.

After the Dongxuan Auction, Cheng Yuan not only failed to investigate the foundation of Dongxuan City.

Instead, because of the last two auction items at the Dongxuan Auction, a deep fear was buried in his heart.

Facing the unfathomable Dongxuan City, Cheng Yuan was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Jiutian's fall had caused too much of a stir in the outside world.

Cheng Yuan would not have been willing to risk meeting the City Lord of Dongxuan City to demand an explanation.

Now seeing that the other party refused to back down at all, Cheng Yuan could only compromise: "I can choose not to pursue the people of Dongxuan City, and I can also forgo the compensation."

"But Su Jianfeng cannot be sheltered by Dongxuan City; he must be handed over to our Huangji Sect to deal with."

Regarding Cheng Yuan's words, Ye Qingxuan just said indifferently: "Dongxuan City has never sheltered outside cultivators. As long as they do not violate Dongxuan laws in Dongxuan City, my Dongxuan City will not interfere."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan looked deeply at Ye Qingxuan.

In Dongxuan City, it was impossible to take down Su Jianfeng without violating Dongxuan laws.

But regarding Ye Qingxuan's words, Cheng Yuan had no way to refute them.

Dongxuan laws were the rules Dongxuan City presented to the outside world.

It was not impossible to break Dongxuan laws.

But clearly, he, Cheng Yuan, and the Huangji Sect behind him, did not seem to have the qualifications to make Dongxuan City break these rules.

Calming the fluctuating emotions in his heart, Cheng Yuan slowly said:

"Dongxuan City executed an Elder of my Huangji Sect; you must at least leave my Huangji Sect with some face, right?"

"I can forgo the apology gifts and the person, but Dongxuan City needs to publicly announce that it has provided compensation to my Huangji Sect. Fellow Daoist Gui Xuanzi, this shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and decided to leave a sliver of leeway for the Huangji Sect.

After all, he didn't want to completely fall out with the Huangji Sect.

"My Dongxuan City will not make false declarations."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan's expression changed, becoming extremely embarrassed.

However, before Cheng Yuan could react, Ye Qingxuan changed the subject and continued:

"However, regarding some false rumors spread in the outside world, my Dongxuan City also disdains to offer explanations."

"Sect Master Cheng, are you satisfied with this?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Cheng Yuan's expression softened slightly. After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded silently: "This will do!"

After the two reached an agreement, Cheng Yuan left Dongxuan City immediately.

Not long after Cheng Yuan left.

News began to spread in the outside world that Dongxuan City had provided compensation to the Huangji Sect due to the accidental killing of their Elder, and that the two forces had reached a reconciliation.

Moreover, this news spread at an extremely fast speed to all areas covered by the Huangji Sect.

At the same time, information about the extra auction items that appeared at the Dongxuan Auction.

Also began to spread wildly in the outside world under the secret instigation of certain people.

After the detailed information about the Dongxuan Auction spread, many cultivators questioned the news of Dongxuan City compensating the Huangji Sect.

Regarding this, Dongxuan City did not make any response and continued to manage its own small patch of territory.
