Chapter 2428: Chapter 2428: Twenty-Eight Trillion

Before coming to Hongmeng City, the president of Golden Toad Commerce had detailed discussions with Elder Gao Zhenjiang regarding the twenty-two Divine Soul Items in Jing Yan’s possession. The president also granted Gao Zhenjiang significant autonomy. Moreover, Gao Zhenjiang himself holds a very high position at the headquarters of Golden Toad Commerce, capable of making decisions as long as they aren’t too outrageous.

”City Lord Jing Yan, regarding these twenty-two Divine Soul Items, I have calculated. I believe these items are of excellent quality, and our Golden Toad Commerce is willing to offer twenty-eight trillion Black Crystal Stones to buy them.”

”City Lord Jing Yan, this is the highest price I can offer,” Gao Zhenjiang declared firmly.

The twenty-two Divine Soul Items provided by Jing Yan, even if prepared for auction, might eventually fetch only a little over thirty trillion Black Crystal Stones. Conducting an auction requires significant costs. Twenty-eight trillion Black Crystal Stones is indeed a very high price.

Jing Yan was quite satisfied with this price in his heart. To be honest, selling these twenty-two Divine Soul Items for two and a half billion Black Crystal Stones would fully meet expectations. It can even be said, even a bit less than twenty-five trillion Black Crystal Stones would still be acceptable. Hongmeng City currently urgently needs basic resources for construction. Every day, the city requires a massive input of Black Crystal Stones and other foundational resources.

Setting aside other matters, just considering the many buildings already constructed, equipping these buildings with independent shielding, isolation, and defensive arrays requires a vast amount of resources. Of course, once many cultivators enter Hongmeng City, merchants will naturally lease these buildings. At that time, Jing Yan can profit massively through rental income or sell the properties outright.

”Elder Gao, your Golden Toad Commerce truly shows sincerity.”

”Twenty-eight trillion Black Crystal Stones, it’s settled,” Jing Yan spoke decisively.

”City Lord Jing Yan, we at Golden Toad Commerce might not be able to pay the twenty-eight trillion Black Crystal Stones all at once,” Gao Zhenjiang commented.

”Hmm? What do you mean by this, Elder Gao?” Jing Yan frowned.

”City Lord, please don’t misunderstand. I mean no harm. It’s just, nearly thirty trillion Black Crystal Stones is such a massive amount that even Golden Toad Commerce requires time to prepare,” Gao Zhenjiang explained hastily.

What he said is indeed true!

Golden Toad Commerce is such a titan, they wouldn’t fall short of thirty trillion Black Crystal Stones. The problem is that rarely would any force store so many Black Crystal Stones as liquid assets. Golden Toad Commerce requires time to gather such an enormous amount of Black Crystal Stones.

”Elder Gao, did you come without carrying more Black Crystal Stones?” Jing Yan squinted slightly.

”City Lord Jing Yan, this time coming to Hongmeng City, besides bringing one trillion Black Crystal Stones, I also have fifteen trillion Black Crystal Stones with me. I can first hand over these fifteen trillion Black Crystal Stones. The remaining thirteen trillion Black Crystal Stones will require some time to prepare,” Gao Zhenjiang said with an earnest tone.

The fifteen trillion Black Crystal Stones are almost all the liquid Black Crystal Stones Golden Toad Commerce could mobilize when Gao Zhenjiang came to Hongmeng City.

”This problem is easy to solve!” Jing Yan smiled.

”The remaining thirteen trillion Black Crystal Stones, Golden Toad Commerce can use other resources for offsetting. For example, various High Grade Divine Pills and Basic Immortal Pills, alchemy materials are also acceptable, and I need various rare ores. If you can get some rare pill formulas, that would be even better,” Jing Yan continued.

Gao Zhenjiang glanced at Jing Yan.

He had a strange feeling, as though City Lord Jing Yan had pondered these issues before meeting with him.

”What does Elder Gao think? Your Golden Toad Commerce specializes in commercial operation, though you focus on auctions, you should be quite familiar and willing with large-scale resource transactions, right?” Jing Yan interrupted Gao Zhenjiang’s thoughts.

”Of course, of course.”

”If other resources can be used to offset Black Crystal Stones, that would be ideal. Now, I can directly send a message to the headquarters and ask the president to send the items required by City Lord Jing Yan,” Gao Zhenjiang promptly responded.

He paused for a moment and continued, ”City Lord Jing Yan, let me know the types and quantities of elixirs you need, and I’ll immediately message the headquarters.”

Jing Yan then requested a large amount of High Grade Divine Pills and Basic Immortal Pills, leaving Golden Toad Commerce free with various rare alchemy materials and array formation ores, knowing they’ll be useful in the future.

”Besides, I hope Golden Cicada Commerce can help me obtain some High Grade Immortal Pill formulas as well as relatively unique pill formulas,” Jing Yan said.

Lately, Jing Yan has been intensively researching alchemy. However, no matter how strong one’s alchemy ability is, it still requires pill formulas. With Jing Yan’s ability, he can indeed improve pill formulas to enhance pill formation rate and quality, but without any pill formulas, Jing Yan is powerless.

A skilled cook can’t prepare a meal without ingredients!

Jing Yan can also create pill formulas, but creating them is far tougher than crafting spells. Even if Jing Yan can create a pill formula, it requires a lot of time, and right now, time is what Jing Yan lacks most. If he can directly purchase pill formulas, the issue becomes simple.

Gao Zhenjiang frowned, saying, ”City Lord Jing Yan, as for pill formulas... common ones are manageable, but requiring High Grade Immortal Pill formulas or unique formulas is challenging. Even at large auctions, these formulas are rare.”

”City Lord Jing Yan is well-informed and understands the rarity of pill formulas. Even in Kunling Heaven, high-level Immortal Pill Masters are scarce. Some Immortal Pill Masters with outstanding abilities remain unable to advance to high-level Immortal Pill Masters due to the lack of High Grade Immortal Pill formulas. Our Golden Toad Commerce also struggles to obtain many High Grade Immortal Pill formulas. If City Lord Jing Yan requires just one or two High Grade Immortal Pill formulas, the commerce can try to find them. Any more would be tough,” Gao Zhenjiang shook his head as he spoke.

This isn’t an excuse; that’s genuinely the situation.

Whether in Low-class Worlds or in the Immortal Domain, items related to elixirs, especially pill formulas, are quite scarce.

”The more pill formulas, the better. Elder Gao, please make an effort to find them. I won’t demand to change the transaction terms, as I’m reasonable,” Jing Yan said, waving his hand.

”Alright, I’ll do my best,” Gao Zhenjiang nodded.

Then, his eyes glimmered slightly, and he suddenly said, ”City Lord Jing Yan, I wonder if you’re interested in incomplete pill formulas.”

”Incomplete pill formulas?” Jing Yan looked at Gao Zhenjiang.

”Indeed, our Golden Toad Commerce does have many incomplete pill formulas. The elixirs recorded in these formulas were originally of very high grade, but due to various reasons, their complete alchemical methods were lost in the river of history,” Gao Zhenjiang remarked with a regretful expression.
