Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

177: Secret techniques for weapon crafting and the earth’s vein fire!The young man had originally been disinterested, but when he saw the purple gold copper ore and cold abyss ice crystal, his eyes suddenly lit up. He trotted over to the two pieces of Ore.

”My goodness, this is purple gold copper ore, a top-grade Artifact Refining material. Its texture is extremely hard; even a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator couldn’t break it without a Spiritual Artifact!”

Looking like he had just seen his bride, the young man reached out and cautiously stroked the purple gold copper ore in front of him, as if afraid it might fly away.

Then he turned to look at the cold abyss ice crystal. His gaze froze for a moment, and he couldn’t help but step forward, murmuring in shock:

”My heavens, cold abyss ice crystal! A top-grade Seal material and a rare object for breaking evil. Doesn’t this stuff appear in the Great North Snow Mountains? I didn’t expect the Great Xuan Dynasty on the coast of the East Sea to have it too!”

Seeing the young man’s shocked expression, Chen Changsheng knew his plan was solid. With these two Materials, he would have them firmly under his thumb!

”I wonder if Your Excellency would be willing to trade for these two Materials with us?”

Chen Changsheng stepped forward and asked with a smile.

”Ahem! Your Excellency may just call me Ye Qiu. Each of your two Materials can be considered top-grade for the Qi Refinement Stage. I wonder what Your Excellency wishes to trade for?”

Ye Qiu no longer put on the airs of one from the seven Great Sects, speaking to Chen Changsheng with a fawning expression.

He was just a minor figure in the Outer Hall of the Crimson Flame Divine Sect. He had originally intended to exchange some ordinary Ores with the Lin Family, but he hadn’t expected to stumble upon these two top-grade items by mistake.

Once he successfully brought these two Materials back, his status in the Outer Hall would surely rise significantly!

”Haha, I wish to exchange them for some Artifact Refining Secret Methods and Fire Seeds of heaven and earth spiritual fire. Your Excellency is a sensible person and knows the value of these two Ores. I hope Your Excellency can give me items of corresponding value. As long as it is appropriate, we are willing to cooperate with you long-term!”

Chen Changsheng replied jovially. Although he knew these two Ores were precious, he didn’t know much about Artifact Refining Secret Methods or heaven and earth spiritual fire seeds. He could only use this method to test Ye Qiu.

”Long-term cooperation? You actually have more?”

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but exclaim upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words. Chen Changsheng smiled and nodded slightly.

”This...”

Ye Qiu’s face turned pale and then flushed as he fell into deep thought. Originally, he had just wanted to get some random things and fool the Lin Family members.

But Chen Changsheng was different. The Ores he provided would be considered treasures even if brought back to the Crimson Flame Divine Sect, the kind that ordinary Disciples couldn’t even touch!

Moreover, according to Chen Changsheng, this wasn’t a one-time deal; there was an opportunity for further cooperation!

In that case, he had to choose items of matching value for this trade; he absolutely could not swindle him!

After a long while, Ye Qiu gritted his teeth and said:

”I can make the decision to give you a copy of the ’Crimson Flame Outer Hall Artifact Refining Introductory Explanation,’ plus the refining blueprint for a top-tier Magical Artifact, the [purple blood scimitar]!”

”As for the Fire Seed of heaven and earth spiritual fire, the best I have here is the [Earth Vein Black Flame]. As long as you nurture this Fire Seed with Spirit Crystals and items carrying malevolent Qi, it will be sufficient to refine Foundation Establishment Stage Materials!”

”This is already the limit of what I can offer...”

After hearing this, Chen Changsheng calculated silently. The value offered by the other party was indeed significant. For the Chen Family, Spirit Crystals weren’t the most important thing—knowledge was.

”Mr. Ye, I am indeed satisfied with the Fire Seed you’re giving me, but I know very little about the Spiritual Fires of the world. I wonder if you could give me a secret manual recording knowledge of Spiritual Fires?”

To ensure he didn’t lose out, Chen Changsheng raised his conditions slightly. What if Ye Qiu agreed!

”No problem. How about this: our Outer Hall has a Spiritual Fire Secret Manual that records all Spiritual Fires used below the Golden Core Stage. I’ll exchange that; what do you think?”

Chen Changsheng immediately nodded upon hearing this. He knew he couldn’t ask for more; greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Their Chen Family was just an ant compared to the Crimson Flame Divine Sect. If he raised more demands and dissatisfied the other party, they might just resort to robbery!

”No problem. Mr. Ye, it’s a pleasure doing business with you!”

”Haha, thank you, Head of the Chen Family. Let’s cooperate much more in the future!”

Ye Qiu laughed heartily. After all, he had indeed gotten the better end of this deal, and they had also established a channel for long-term cooperation.

”Please wait a moment, Head of the Chen Family. I’ll go get the items for you. I’ll take these two pieces of Ore with me!”

Ye Qiu spoke with an impatient look. Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a strange expression.

The two pieces of Ore he had brought were just samples; there was a whole cabin full of them on the ship!

He hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to be satisfied with just two pieces. These two types of Ore were truly too valuable!

Soon, Ye Qiu had men load the Ores onto his ship and then returned to the deserted island with the items.

”Head of the Chen Family, take this ’Introductory Explanation of Artifact Refining’ and the refining blueprint first!”

Chen Changsheng took the two small booklets. Then, Ye Qiu carefully pulled out a blue gourd and handed it to Chen Changsheng.

”The [Earth Vein Black Flame] is stored inside. Do not underestimate it. Although it is just a Fire Seed, even those in the Qi Refining Stage will lose a layer of skin if they touch it. This True Water Gourd can suppress its ferocity, so I’ll give it to you as well!”

Ye Qiu urged him. Chen Changsheng took the blue gourd, nodded, and said to Ye Qiu:

”Mr. Ye, for our next trade, could we exchange for more Artifact Refining blueprints? For the next trade, I can bring two pieces each of purple gold copper ore and cold abyss ice crystal!”

Hearing Chen Changsheng take the initiative to mention the next trade, Ye Qiu was also extremely happy. He said to Chen Changsheng with a joyful face:

”No problem. In one month, I’ll bring the blueprints, you bring the Ores, and we’ll trade here on this deserted island again!”

”Good! It’s a deal!”

Chen Changsheng and Ye Qiu clapped hands. Then, both of them boarded their ships with satisfied expressions and left the deserted island!

”Dad, I didn’t expect the family’s Ores to be so valuable! They could actually be exchanged for so many things!”

Chen Chuanwu waited until Chen Changsheng entered the cabin before speaking with a grin.

”Even though the Ores are valuable, if we didn’t have the cultivation to back it up, we would have been eaten clean by others long ago. Everything must prioritize the improvement of strength!”

Chen Changsheng said with a serious face. If he didn’t currently have the strength to be unrivaled below the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would never have sold these two types of Ore!

”Dad, I see that these two types of Ore are not simple. Perhaps we can also negotiate terms with the Xiao Family!”

Chen Chuanwen had observed the entire process of Chen Changsheng’s trade from the side. He keenly realized that their family’s Ores were definitely rare items in high demand within Annan Prefecture.

”For the negotiations with the Xiao Family this time, we won’t take the cold abyss ice crystal. We’ll only use the purple gold copper ore and see if we can exchange it for more benefits! However, the Xiao Family’s highest combat power is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. I imagine the benefits won’t be as much as what the Crimson Flame Divine Sect gave!”

Chen Changsheng said with a sigh. Chen Chuanwen, however, chuckled with a confident expression.

”Dad, don’t worry. Let me handle the negotiations. Even if the Xiao Family has no benefits to give, they must at least show an attitude of supporting our family!”
