Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Huang Yuanhua was a loose cultivator with an Earth Spiritual Root.

His strength was a human-quality Golden Core.

His cave abode was excavated a year ago.

Then from time to time a Rolling Earth Dragon with over five hundred years of Dao cultivation would appear, causing quite a stir at first.

For some reason, during the first half year no person or team could fully explore it.

Even quite a few people died.

As it turned out, this time they came with a complete map of the cave abode.

The sweet-looking female receptionist immediately answered affirmatively: "Yes, Immortal Master, that side has already been fully explored by the Hunting Demon Team."

Xu Zhangqing raised his eyebrows: "What time?"

The female receptionist hurriedly said: "Just seven days ago, led by the City Lord of Dongqing City himself, that is, Golden Core True Person Wang, all the Hunting Demon Teams collectively entered deep into Huang Yuanhua's Cave Dwelling."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing was not surprised.

This matter being able to last a year was inherently not right.

Either the Hunting Demon Team of Dongqing City was incompetent.

Or there was another reason.

Now, a Golden Core True Person personally took action; if they still couldn't handle it, that would be abnormal.

At this moment, the female receptionist revealed an enthusiastic smile: "Immortal Master, Huang Yuanhua's Cave Dwelling can be visited at any time; if you join a group tour, you can even get a ten percent discount."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "I'm not interested."

Although it was the cave abode of a Golden Core Stage loose cultivator.

But the spiritual treasures inside were definitely swept clean by True Person Wang.

Daring to open it to the outside shows there's nothing left inside.

Since the treasures are all gone, why go?

If there's danger, even more so one cannot go!

Seeing this, the female receptionist's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.

She earned commissions from recruiting people for group tours, higher than selling goods.

Next, Xu Zhangqing no longer inquired.

Facing the Mirror of Reflection, he carefully examined everything from cultivation methods, spells, to spiritual plants.

After confirming there was nothing left to pick up, he quickly left the Trading Hall and headed toward Changqing Wine Shop.

Nowadays, the wine in the wine shop had long been sold out, just waiting for Xu Zhangqing to replenish it.

But some wine-loving drunkards were unwilling to leave, preferring to stay in the hall to smell the aroma.

Not long after, Xu Zhangqing and Sun Peng met again.

The location was still Panchun Teahouse opposite the wine shop.

Still the Yi Room on the third floor.

Sun Peng stood up quite excitedly: "You've finally come."

Xu Zhangqing handed over the small storage bag containing spirit rice and spirit rice wine: "Everything is inside."

Sun Peng received it with both hands, not even glancing at it, instead taking out last month's spirit rice wine profit sharing: "All three thousand jin of high-quality spirit rice wine sold out; you take seventy percent, receiving 315 middle-grade spirit stones."

Xu Zhangqing glanced and found there were 320 in total.

Of course, this was not because the other party gave too much.

But included the 500 jin of top-grade spirit rice he sold himself.

Although the price had dropped slightly now, the Sun Family had no intention of lowering prices, which was quite good.

Sun Peng chuckled: "By the way, there are a few things you definitely are interested in."

Xu Zhangqing looked at him doubtfully: "What things?"

Sun Peng immediately took them out from his storage bag: "A few days ago, our Sun Family participated in the operation to explore Huang Yuanhua's Cave Dwelling; after the matter ended, we specially requested these seeds that were preserved relatively intact."

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened, and he hurriedly took them to examine: "There are seven in total, not to mention they are all different colors; you were thoughtful."

Sun Peng said seriously: "This is what we should do."

Xu Zhangqing put away the seeds, then pondered: "My friend is an Alchemist, mainly refining Lingqiang Wan and Jiling Dan; do you have channels to purchase or sell them?"

Hearing the two words "pills," Sun Peng was very interested: "If they are high-quality pills, our Sun Family is willing to purchase them, and even help sell them."

Xu Zhangqing didn't waste words, directly taking out a premium Lingqiang Wan and a premium Jiling Dan, placing them carelessly on the tabletop.

The Lingqiang Wan was overall brown, and compared to those refined elsewhere, it was noticeably smaller.

The Jiling Dan was greenish-yellow, round and smooth like jade, with fine spiral patterns on the surface.

Although the names were similar, compared to those at the Loose Cultivator Market, the difference was still quite large.

Moreover, they all emitted a very rich fragrance of grass and trees.

Sun Peng stared fixedly, then tentatively asked: "Quality?"

Xu Zhangqing's mouth corner twitched upward: "Premium!"

Upon learning that both Lingqiang Wan and Jiling Dan were premium pills, Sun Peng's breathing became heavy, and his pupils fluctuated even more violently.

Originally thought, he had already highly overestimated the person before him.

Unexpectedly, the other party provided not only top-grade spirit rice and high-quality spirit wine.

Even the pills his friend refined turned out to all be of premium quality.

If the Sun Clan can seize this opportunity, they will likely... thoroughly take off.

For a moment, Sun Peng was so excited his heart pounded wildly.

Seeing the other party's qi and blood surge, Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but ask: "Are you alright?"

Sun Peng took a deep breath, striving to calm himself: "Then, Dao Friend Cai, no, I should say, how many spirit stones do you intend to sell for?"

Regarding price, Xu Zhangqing had long since considered it clearly: "Pinjia Lingqiang Wan, 6 low-grade spirit stones per pill.

As for the Foundation Spirit Pill, 55 low-grade spirit stones per pill."

"Hiss!" Sun Peng sucked in a breath of cold air.

The prices of these two pills were obviously higher than the market price.

Generally speaking, Pinjia Lingqiang Wan goes for 5 low-grade spirit stones.

While the Foundation Spirit Pill fluctuates between 45 and 50.

Large quantity, the price drops.

Small quantity, the price rises.

Xu Zhangqing said blandly: "If you find it expensive, I can find someone else to cooperate with."

Sun Peng knitted his brows, pondered for a good while, then said with a solemn expression: "If the quantity is small, our Sun Clan is naturally willing to take it, but if the quantity is too large, I suggest you go to Xuanxin City."

"Xuanxin City?" Xu Zhangqing felt quite surprised.

Sun Peng said seriously: "The loose cultivator market is ultimately too small; if you want to earn more spirit stones, you definitely have to go to a larger market."

For loose cultivators, the loose cultivator market is indeed very large.

But for immortal sect disciples, it is pitifully small.

Changqing Wine Shop sells only one kind of spirit rice wine, yet in just a few short months it has already snatched away ninety percent of the wine customers; former opponents have either closed down or moved away.

Xuanxin City is different; the cultivation atmosphere there is richer, the market scale larger.

The most famous is the Qianfan Zhengdu Meeting.

Every year a small meeting.

Every ten years a great meeting.

It is said that next year is the centennial grand meeting, which will be even more lively.

Xu Zhangqing's brows furrowed slightly: "Although I've heard of that place, I'm not very familiar with it."

Sun Peng hurriedly leaned in: "Our Sun Clan has a slight connection with the Long Clan, one of the three great families of Xuanxin City."

Xu Zhangqing instantly understood the meaning in the other party's words: "If I want to open a wine shop in Xuanxin City, not only your Sun Clan, but the Long Clan also wants a share of the pie?"

Sun Peng gritted his teeth: "On the Xuanxin City side, our Sun Clan only wants ten percent of the profit!"

In fact, the Sun Clan has long wanted to use Xu Zhangqing's high-quality spirit rice wine to break open Xuanxin City's wine market.

The problem is, this matter must have the other party's agreement to proceed.

Before this, they could never find a suitable pretext.

Now, using these two premium pills as a pretext, they simply spoke their mind!
