I’ll prepare a list for you right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mystic-grade talisman blanks—I need a lot of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun’s expression remained calm, but his words carried weight. “This will be a transaction worth at least a million mid-grade spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s hand trembled, spilling a few drops of tea as she stared in shock. Quickly recovering, she bowed and apologized profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to worry, young lady. Go call your manager to discuss this with me,” Chen Xun said with a gentle wave. The girl’s demeanor reminded him of his own naive past. “I trust the reputation of Sansheng Pavilion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your forgiveness, Senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young woman bowed deeply, showing utmost respect. Nascent Soul cultivators could be unpredictable; a small mistake like hers could have easily cost her the job at Sansheng Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed in relief and bowed once more before carefully exiting the room. Such a poised and powerful cultivator deserved his wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A veiled woman entered the room, accompanied by two elderly women, both Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a light cyan gown, she had long, elegant eyebrows and eyes that shone like stars. Her movements exuded an ancient and graceful air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Chen Xun, she hesitated for a moment before speaking with surprise, “Senior, it’s you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elderly women were startled. When had their young lady become acquainted with such a figure? They had never heard of this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun raised his head slowly, a slight smile curling his lips as he nodded. “Young lady, it’s you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the person he had encountered while fishing some time ago, to whom he had given a spiritual herb, forming a small bond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Yun Zheng greets Senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Daoist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zheng bowed, and the two elderly women cupped their hands in greeting, their actions impeccable and respectful, making one feel at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun returned the greeting and smiled. “I’m here to discuss a big business deal with Miss Yun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile lingered on his face as he noted the refined demeanor of the younger generation of these major powers—no arrogance, only grace and composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, please have a seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard from the attendant that you are interested in purchasing Mystic-grade talisman blanks worth a million mid-grade spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zheng’s voice was clear and pleasant, and she performed a tea ceremony as she spoke. “May I ask when you need them? It might take some time to gather such a large quantity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t dare make eye contact with Chen Xun, keeping her head slightly bowed, her posture humble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A million mid-grade spirit stones were enough resources to elevate a three-spirit-root Qi Refinement cultivator to the Nascent Soul stage. Her heart couldn’t help but race with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elderly women exchanged subtle glances, stepping back a few paces as they exchanged shocked looks. Such a large transaction was indeed a bold move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The sooner, the better. I can pay an upfront deposit of three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun considered for a moment. While crafting Mystic-grade talisman blanks wasn’t particularly difficult, producing such a large quantity was the challenge. “And I have another business proposal—would Sansheng Pavilion be interested?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zheng furrowed her brow slightly, her expression showing hesitation rather than joy. She cautiously asked, “Senior, you must have great trust in Sansheng Pavilion to propose such a transaction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve done my research. Among all the establishments in Guiyi City, Sansheng Pavilion has the best reputation and the resources to handle such high-level transactions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun paused, taking a sip of his health-preserving tea. “I trust that your pavilion has the capabilities and discretion needed for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, there were no contracts. If one was cheated, they were cheated. However, seeking revenge was simple; he could handle it personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zheng looked up slightly, sensing the confidence in Chen Xun’s demeanor. It wasn’t a facade but a genuine assurance of his own power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled faintly. “Senior, you jest. What is the other business proposal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun pulled out a list from his storage ring and glanced at the two elderly women. They felt a chill run down their spines, as if something terrifying was watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat trickled down their foreheads, and they lowered their heads even further, the atmosphere in the room becoming oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zheng’s eyes narrowed, sensing the shift in the room’s mood. This senior...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly shifted her gaze to the paper, her pupils dilating as she read. These were forbidden items—materials for a large teleportation array!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior... this might be... difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll pay extra—ten percent above market price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty percent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirty percent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forty percent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well. I’ll give it a try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zheng’s eyes widened, and even her veil fluttered as her face flushed slightly. If this deal went through, it could elevate her family’s status significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing quickened as she realized the potential risks involved. She would need to discuss this with her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, may I have three months?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take this transmission jade slip. Use your spiritual energy to activate it when the time comes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun handed over a jade slip from his storage ring, along with a pouch filled with spirit stones. “I look forward to hearing good news from you, Miss Yun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he stood up, his demeanor as calm as ever, treating the spirit stones as if they were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Safe travels, Senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Farewell, Daoist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elderly women bowed low, the previous moment leaving a shadow in their hearts—they were no match for this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chen Xun left, Yun Zheng remained seated, her eyes deep in thought. She was already planning her next steps, not wanting the other two merchant guilds to get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, she burned the paper, turning it to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Miss... that Daoist is no ordinary figure; we must not offend him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, regarding the large teleportation array, we must be discreet. If certain people dig too deeply, it could lead to trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both women looked tense. A large teleportation array had the potential to traverse vast distances, and its implications were significant. They dared not speculate further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zheng nodded gently. “I will discuss this with my father and handle it carefully. Securing this senior’s friendship is far more valuable than mere business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly women nodded in agreement. This person was no rogue cultivator; forming a connection with him would be beneficial in the long run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Sansheng Pavilion’s first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Ox and Xiao Chi were still browsing through the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment items, engaged in an animated discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn’t notice Chen Xun’s approach from behind—partly because he had concealed his aura, planning to tease them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Whack!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden slap landed on the back of both their heads. Xiao Chi was instantly enraged, ready to lash out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chi spun around furiously—who dared to bully spirit beasts in the city? Was there no justice?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Brother Chen’s backing, he was determined to drag this offender to a secluded spot outside the city and teach them a lesson, showing them the true might of his elder brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Ox, equally angered, turned as well. Just because they were browsing the first floor didn’t mean they were low-level spirit beasts. Fighting in the city—did no one respect the rules anymore?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1262,"2026-06-10T05:20:00.358Z",1,"novelbin.me","f995f8e800184ab276ae3ed11484f6f2482424533ad3a8382fbe1a6712bf5c8b","eternal-tale-chapter-309","eternal-tale-chapter-307",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-tale-cover.jpg"]
