Chapter 1457

After the disciples' injuries have fully healed, the Daoyi Sect will certainly have to pay a personal visit to the Qingtian Sacred Ground to thoroughly eradicate it, leaving it no opportunity or chance to catch its breath.

Therefore, Facing Qi Xiong did not have much desire to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce.

Perhaps sensing Facing Qi Xiong's hesitation, the Vice President of the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce immediately spoke up.

"Sect Master Qi, everything regarding the price is negotiable. My Heiyan Chamber of Commerce has truly come with sincerity. If Sect Master Qi is willing, my Heiyan Chamber of Commerce is prepared to pay thirty million top-grade spirit stones annually."

Hmm???

Upon hearing this, Facing Qi Xiong was stunned, and the expression in his eyes immediately changed.

Good heavens, thirty million a year, and in top-grade spirit stones at that! This was almost equivalent to the Daoyi Sect's entire annual income back in the Eastern Continent.

He had long heard that these Central Continent chambers of commerce were all filthy rich, but he hadn't expected them to be this wealthy—thirty million top-grade spirit stones, just given away like that?

His inner thoughts shifted immediately; this matter was not entirely off the table after all.

Although there were many things to attend to right now, one more matter involving the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce wouldn't hurt.

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of, and besides, in such a large sect, where wouldn't money be needed?

Gazing intently at the Vice President, Facing Qi Xiong said calmly.

"Tell me more."

Hmm???

Seeing Facing Qi Xiong's sudden change of face, the Vice President of the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce was also taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure and explained in detail.

In truth, the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce did not have many demands. One was the hope that the Daoyi Sect could eliminate the demonic cultivators in Heishan, especially the few Great Saint Realm demonic cultivators leading them.

Secondly, they hoped the Daoyi Sect could arrange for disciples to guard Heishan to protect the safety of the Heijin Chamber of Commerce's workers and ensure the secure mining of black gold ore.

Those were the two main conditions; other than that, there was nothing else.

It was not particularly troublesome, but given Facing Qi Xiong's personality, it was naturally impossible for him to agree so easily; this fellow still wanted to negotiate the price further.

Therefore, after listening to the Vice President of the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce, Facing Qi Xiong deliberately put on a somewhat troubled look and said slowly.

"These two requests of yours are a bit difficult to handle."

"Ah... Sect Master Qi, actually, it can still be discussed further."

Hearing this, the Vice President of the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce was stunned, thinking Facing Qi Xiong was about to refuse, and hurriedly spoke up.

Hearing these words, Facing Qi Xiong felt a joy in his heart—*Heh heh, there's a chance; then don't blame me. *

Subsequently, both sides engaged in a bit of back-and-forth, and in the end, Facing Qi Xiong agreed to the cooperation. However, as for the price, it changed from the previous thirty million top-grade spirit stones to fifty million, along with various spirit fruits and magic treasures.

In short, this price was not cheap, but the Vice President of the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce agreed without much hesitation.

It even made Facing Qi Xiong wonder for a moment if he had set the price too low, leaving him with a feeling that he had lost out.

With the cooperation reached, Facing Qi Xiong arranged accommodation for the members of the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce and invited them to stay at Wanyaoguan for a few days.

After seeing off the people from the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce, Facing Qi Xiong smiled with satisfaction. Wu Shou, who was standing to the side, saw this and curled his lip, saying.

"I see you have quite the talent for being a profiteer."

"Don't you go making baseless accusations. Isn't this for the sake of the sect? If you're so capable, don't use these spirit stones. Truly, one doesn't know the cost of firewood and rice until they are in charge."

"I don't know the cost of firewood and rice?"
