spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Converted into supreme-grade spirit stones, that was merely one million supreme-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the Void Realm, to break the array formations and restrictions within it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan spent another three million two hundred thousand supreme-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ye Qingxuan possessed the Tianfu Shop and Dongxuan City, two treasure troves capable of generating a steady stream of spirit stones for him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had consistently spent vast amounts of spirit stones acquiring various spirit mines, corpses of the Green Demon Clan, and other expenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was currently no sixth-grade spirit vein within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid hindering the growth of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after all, the Baobao Pavilion had a much wider range of product channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Tianfu Shop and Dongxuan City generated spirit stones quickly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dafu usually went to the Baobao Pavilion in the market district to purchase items for Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, as the shopkeeper of the Tianfu Shop, Zhu Dafu was no longer an unknown figure within the Baobao Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when Ye Qingxuan ordered items to be purchased that were not in the Tianfu Shop's inventory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this time, for the Void Realm, Ye Qingxuan had spent a total of three million two hundred thousand supreme-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Ye Qingxuan's stock of spirit stones was not as abundant as one might imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dafu had managed the Tianfu Shop on behalf of Ye Qingxuan for many years and had dealt with the Baobao Pavilion countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After advancing to the Soul Transformation realm, he had always used supreme-grade spirit stones for cultivation, consuming a significant amount of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ye Qingxuan's current assets, he could only afford to be extravagant with spirit stones during the Soul Transformation stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three million two hundred thousand supreme-grade spirit stones accounted for roughly one-tenth of Ye Qingxuan's spirit stone reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clerks of the Baobao Pavilion, upon seeing Zhu Dafu, did not stop him but instead smiled and nodded in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, after receiving the purchasing task ordered by Ye Qingxuan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>arriving at the door of a private room on the second floor, Zhu Dafu knocked and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still needed a considerable amount of time to advance to the Void Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back and forth over the years, Zhu Dafu had naturally made several close friends within the Baobao Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the short term, Ye Qingxuan did not need to worry about a shortage of spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the later stages of cultivation, the prices of various high-grade resources were equally exorbitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the Baobao Pavilion, Zhu Dafu walked with familiarity toward a specific private room on the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, given Ye Qingxuan's cultivation speed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he simply walked all the way to the Baobao Pavilion in the Xuantian Sect's market district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ji, it is me, Zhu Dafu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person he sought was none other than Ji Dongming, one of the managers of the Baobao Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way here, Zhu Dafu had already exchanged letters with Ji Dongming and knew that Ji Dongming was waiting for him in a private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, upon hearing Zhu Dafu's voice, a cheerful voice came from inside the room:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Zhu, please come in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received permission, Zhu Dafu pushed the door open and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the private room, a middle-aged man stood up to welcome him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This middle-aged man was Ji Dongming, the manager of the Baobao Pavilion that Zhu Dafu had come to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Ji Dongming's welcome, Zhu Dafu sat down opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sitting down, Zhu Dafu said with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ji, I have come this time to bring you a huge sales figure, so you must give me a great discount.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how large the scale of the Baobao Pavilion, it was still a commercial shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The managers within had different tiered sales targets every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Depending on which tier of sales targets they achieved, the rewards received by the managers varied accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, sometimes to attract major clients, managers of the Baobao Pavilion would generally offer clients a discount within the limits of their authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such behavior was also one of the methods the Baobao Pavilion used to stabilize its major clients, a rule tacitly approved by the Baobao Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhu Dafu's words, Ji Dongming raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The old rule, three percent off, how about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although managers possessed considerable discount authority, this authority was also limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For different tiers of purchase amounts, the discount strength a manager could offer varied accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, whenever Zhu Dafu purchased from Ji Dongming, Ji Dongming had always offered a three percent discount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, hearing the tone in Zhu Dafu's voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Dongming guessed in his heart that it must be a substantial transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without knowing the details, he could not make a hasty judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he could only offer the previous discount standard to test Zhu Dafu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after hearing the discount standard offered by Ji Dongming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dafu shook his head slightly and said directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, I want a five percent discount.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A five percent discount was the maximum discount strength a manager of the Baobao Pavilion could offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having dealt with the Baobao Pavilion for many years, Zhu Dafu was well aware of these matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he directly asked for the biggest discount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhu Dafu's request, Ji Dongming did not refuse outright but asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask how many spirit stones Brother Zhu plans to spend this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Dongming had been dealing with Zhu Dafu for more than a day or two; he naturally knew Zhu Dafu's character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without absolute confidence, Zhu Dafu would not have asked for this discount, putting both sides in an awkward position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhu Dafu's purchase of spirit stones met the standard, he would not mind granting Zhu Dafu a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the question, Zhu Dafu did not beat around the bush and said directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, I need to purchase four hundred Grade Six supreme array-breaking talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to your Baobao Pavilion's prices, the total is three million two hundred thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking thus, Zhu Dafu wore a look of pride and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it? With this purchase volume, asking for a five percent discount shouldn't put you in a difficult position, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ji Dongming showed a look of surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Tianfu Shop wants to purchase four hundred Grade Six supreme array-breaking talismans in one go? What for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhu Dafu's purchase amount was large,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was the marketplace within the Xuantian Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baobao Pavilion was one of the nine-star shops in the Xuantian Sect marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a manager who had served at Baobao Pavilion for many years, what grand transactions had Ji Dongming not seen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three million two hundred thousand supreme spirit stones, though a lot, were not enough to make Ji Dongming lose his composure in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he was more curious about the purpose behind Tianfu Shop purchasing four hundred Grade Six supreme array-breaking talismans at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ji Dongming ask about the use of the four hundred Grade Six supreme array-breaking talismans, Zhu Dafu was not annoyed; instead, he smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Tianfu Shop is growing larger by the day and always encounters customers with special requests; you know what I mean!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished speaking, he gave Ji Dongming a look that said, \"You know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Ji Dongming understood or not, Zhu Dafu did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he, Zhu Dafu, did not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew what a fortune cultivator like Ye Qingxuan would need so many Grade Six talismans for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dafu did not want to understand either; he only needed to follow orders. Knowing too much was sometimes not a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Zhu Dafu's look, although Ji Dongming did not understand, he did not ask further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he nodded slightly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, I will give you a five percent discount.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The total value is three million two hundred thousand supreme spirit stones; you just pay three million forty thousand supreme spirit stones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished speaking, Ji Dongming stood up and, accompanied by the smiling Zhu Dafu, went to the front counter of Baobao Pavilion to complete the transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ji Dongming's guidance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dafu quickly purchased the four hundred Grade Six supreme array-breaking talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying the four hundred Grade Six supreme array-breaking talismans and the extra sixteen thousand supreme spirit stones he had gained,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dafu left the main gate of Baobao Pavilion with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1444,"2026-06-12T14:27:00.743Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","cc2177d2b64803bc98f538285f38aa3eaf55821bc4feae9fa19a2c3e2ee15b45","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-264","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-262",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
