Chapter 728

Yan Buji asked doubtfully: "Since this Lie Rong is celestial material, what is its value?"

"Within the demon tribe, it can compare to some sevenfold celestial materials!"

Wu Yuan also explained: "In the human market, fire techniques are something cultivators will learn to some extent, and there are countless cultivators who practice the fire path; this Lie Rong almost counters fire techniques! If woven into thread, it can be made into fire-resistant armor lining! Even for other techniques, it has some isolating effect; it is a rather perfect celestial material."

Hearing Wu Yuan's high evaluation, Yan Buji thought carefully: "Brother Xiong, are you sure the Rabbit Tribe will trade this with us?"

"This... after all, they are also choosing; if we don't show attitude, even if we want to trade, we won't get a share."

Qualifications?

Yan Buji nodded: "Sure, how many Longxin grass bricks can they provide?"

"About three thousand pieces."

"What is the price?"

"One brick exchanges for one Yin-Yang Creation-Reversal Pill."

Yan Buji's face darkened: "Too expensive!"

Xiong Ba Tian sighed: "This is already the price after negotiating with them."

Wu Yuan pinched his chin: "If Hall Master Yan can't keep up, I can also help refine that Yin-Yang Creation-Reversal Pill."

Yan Buji looked at Wu Yuan in surprise: "Elder Wu is also an alchemist?"

"I studied it before, but now it's basically useless; that pill isn't a sevenfold celestial pill, is it?"

"It's just fivefold."

"Then that's fine." Wu Yuan nodded.

It seems Elder Wu is at least a sixth-rank alchemist.

"However, these grass bricks need to be stored for many years before they can be put on the market; with such huge upfront costs, can Hall Master Yan supply them?" Wu Yuan asked.

"To be honest, we can't supply that much; we can't just do business with the Rabbit Tribe." Yan Buji gave a wry smile.

Wu Yuan nodded; even though he is a Void-Revelation cultivator with considerable family wealth, he couldn't undertake such a long-term loss-making project, otherwise his savings couldn't withstand it.

Then what does Hall Master Yan plan?

I mean we first borrow some from Hall Master Zhou and the others, then we take in the Rabbit Tribe's Longxin grass bricks. As for the other tribes' demands, we can leave it to them to handle, while we handle the Rabbit Tribe's trade; strictly speaking, it's best to let everyone participate. Yan Buji said.

Wu Yuan nodded.

If the business grows, relying solely on the two of them definitely won't be enough.

But there are many humans who have come to Luohuang Zhou; they can't consume it all, and it wouldn't be cheap to outsiders. Moreover, there are many elders in the mining area, each with their own connections and channels. After taking in the trade of these few tribes, more demon tribes will surely migrate to Luohuang Zhou in the future; by then, fame will spread and business will proceed more smoothly.

"Have you two decided? If so, I can now propose a trade request to them, set a time, and we can exchange goods." Xiong Ba Tian laughed.

Sure, we'll go back to prepare and come again in a month.

Then I'll be waiting for your good news. Xiong Ba Tian laughed.

Under Wu Yuan's guidance, Yan Buji selected the best trade goods offered by the other two tribes; the items they needed naturally required him to hurry back and prepare.

On the way, Wu Yuan watched Yan Buji remain silent and asked: "Hall Master Yan, do you have any other plans?"

Replying, Elder, I'm thinking about how many shares of this trade we can allocate to others. Yan Buji said.

"How many shares...." Wu Yuan frowned.

Indeed, if we give too much, they'd work hard for half a day only to earn a little, which would surely be a loss; but if we give too little, others might not agree.

Or I could first not mention this to the other elders?

No, Elder Wu will definitely tell the other elders; it's best if they're willing to join. Yan Buji laughed.

Why? Wu Yuan looked at Yan Buji doubtfully.

Do you really think I can't consume all this by myself? It's just that if I invested alone, the loss risk would be too great, not worth it. But to say that a Void-Revelation cultivator's wealth and connections couldn't handle this amount of goods is simply laughable.

Yan Buji smiled: "My meaning is, our purpose is to enlarge this cake; monopolizing it is not the best choice. Therefore, trading with the demon tribe still carries relatively high risk; if Elder Wu alone bears it, any problem would cause huge losses, not worth it. So appropriately giving benefits to other elders of the same status, using their status and strength as guarantors, can minimize risk; that's why I said it's best for all elders to participate."

Wu Yuan nodded: "That does seem safer."

I think the elders can split fifty percent of the goods trade; twenty percent to be jointly handled by us and the elders, with that portion's profit going to Elder Yuan Zhen; the remaining thirty percent, I will handle. Yan Buji said lightly.

Oh?

Wu Yuan looked at Yan Buji with a smile, saying: "You say giving the elders a total fifty percent share of goods is reasonable; even if Elder Yuan Zhen does nothing, letting him take twenty percent profit is fine, given his highest strength; but you, Yan Buji, taking thirty percent alone, can you handle that?"

Elders, don't misunderstand; aside from me, there are many other Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect; I am not monopolizing thirty percent, but rather taking it out to share with everyone. Yan Buji laughed.

Wu Yuan nodded: "Within the sect, it's been said that following Hall Master Yan means enjoying the good life; indeed it is."

Business emphasizes steady, long-term gains; individual operation can't compare to collective effort. Therefore, uniting everyone's strength to do things will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. Yan Buji laughed.

How is this not Yan Buji cultivating his own connections?

Pulling them all to his side, isn't it just to better utilize their connections to make money?

Immediately after, upon returning to the sect mining area, Yan Buji summoned the hall masters to discuss this.

Upon hearing that Yan Buji, without a word, had secured a large demon tribe goods order and the resource list they could provide, each hall master's eyes lit up, and they carefully studied the spiritual materials and items listed.

Yan Buji looked at them, each seeming thoughtful, and smiled: "Everyone, of these goods, fifty percent is to be handled by the elders, twenty percent is to be jointly raised by us and the elders and presented to Elder Yuan Zhen, and the remaining thirty percent is ours."

Ah.... it's not impossible.

Yes, since Hall Master Yan managed to get such a large order on his first trade with the demon tribe, I dare not imagine how much more there could be.

The elders were stunned for a moment, then immediately expressed their agreement.

Yan Buji chuckled: "Everyone, you won't blame me for 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha', will you?"

How could we?

Hall Master Yan's words mean that if we can sit together and make money, isn't that all thanks to Hall Master Yan?

Moreover, Elder Yuan Zhen can safeguard our sect's mining area and guarantee our safety; even if Hall Master Yan doesn't say so, I will certainly present this gift to Elder Yuan!

The hall masters each spoke, and Yan Buji smiled and nodded.
