Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 1946: Chapter 1945: Refusing Cooperation

”Roar! Roar! Roar!”

An hour later, a sudden roar of fierce beasts echoed, accompanied by a strong and arrogant aura.

”Are those the fierce beasts of Beast Soul Mountain?” Feng Wuchen said in surprise, ”Comparable to the level of a five-star Divine Emperor, are the beasts on the outskirts already this powerful?”

”Because many cultivators enter Beast Soul Mountain year-round, a large number of fierce beasts have been hunted, which has alarmed the more powerful beasts. So even on the outskirts, many formidable fierce beasts appear.” Ye Ming said respectfully.

Feng Wuchen nodded and said, ”I see.”

”Young Master Chen, we’re ready to proceed; Xuan Ying Divine Palace lies just ahead, and the mountains beyond are Beast Soul Mountain.” Ye Ming respectfully said.

A few minutes later, Ye Ming led Feng Wuchen to Xuan Ying Divine Palace.

Xuan Ying Divine Palace was teeming with people, resembling a massive market, bustling with activity, all here to purchase herbs, materials, and rare treasures.

Among the numerous cultivators, there was no shortage of powerful experts, and every major power was represented.

Seeing the throngs at Xuan Ying Divine Palace, Feng Wuchen was shocked and couldn’t believe it: ”This is more crowded than an auction house!”

”Young Master Chen, compared to the auction house, the treasures here are cheaper, so people are willing to travel far rather than pay high prices at the auction house.” Ye Ming said respectfully.

”I must say, the strength of Xuan Ying Divine Palace is indeed impressive, comparable to Shenwu Peak.” Feng Wuchen marveled, already sensing many powerful auras.

”Indeed, Xuan Ying Divine Palace is not weak; both the Palace Master and the Elders are Divine Venerate experts.” Ye Ming said respectfully.

”Lord Ye Ming, it’s been a while since you last came to buy herbs.” Seeing Ye Ming coming, a disciple guarding the mountain gate immediately greeted him respectfully.

Ye Ming had visited several times before, and the disciples of Xuan Ying Divine Palace knew him, aware that Ye Ming was a powerful Divine Emperor-level Alchemist.

”Yes, it’s been some time, as I’ve been quite busy. Please take me to see the Great Elder.” Ye Ming said with a faint smile.

”Please, Lord Ye Ming.” A disciple respectfully gestured for him to enter.

”Please, Young Master Chen.” Ye Ming said respectfully to Feng Wuchen.

”Young Master Chen!” Witnessing Ye Ming’s respectful attitude toward Feng Wuchen, the disciple hurriedly addressed him respectfully, not daring to show any negligence.

Xuan Ying Divine Palace, being the largest herb and material supplier in the Main God Realm, was very courteous to guests coming to purchase herbs and materials.

”Young Master Chen, Lord Ye Ming, recently all herbs and materials have significantly increased in price, and Xuan Ying Divine Palace’s stock of herbs and materials is also low.” The disciple said respectfully.

”Why is that?” Ye Ming asked.

”Lord Ye Ming, coming from the Star Soul Realm, the most powerful Alchemist of the Star Soul Realm, often buys herbs here. I trust you, so I will tell you. You should know about the space rings. Recently, various major powers in the Main God Realm have been sending people to seize numerous rare treasures to exchange for space rings, so many rare treasures have gone up in price, as have herbs and materials.” The disciple said respectfully.

”I see.” Ye Ming nodded slightly.

Feng Wuchen smiled gently, ”Price is not an issue.”

The disciple led Feng Wuchen and Ye Ming to the main hall, first entering to report, then coming out to invite Feng Wuchen and Ye Ming inside.

In the main hall, the Palace Master of Xuan Ying Divine Palace, along with three Great Elders and more than a dozen high-ranking members, were present.

Seeing Ye Ming enter, the Great Elder greeted him happily, ”Alchemist Ye Ming, long time no see. Welcome to Xuan Ying Divine Palace.”

”Greetings to the Palace Master of Xuan Ying, three Elders.” Ye Ming courteously cupped his fists.

”Greetings to the Palace Master of Xuan Ying, three Elders, and all the seniors.” Feng Wuchen also cupped his fists with a polite smile.

With a gentle smile, the Palace Master of Xuan Ying asked, ”Alchemist Ye Ming, what herbs might you need this time?”

”Palace Master of Xuan Ying, this time it’s not for myself but for Young Master Chen.” Ye Ming said with a courteous smile.

”For Young Master Chen?” The Palace Master of Xuan Ying and the three Great Elders all turned their gaze to Feng Wuchen, noticing the extreme respect Ye Ming had for Feng Wuchen, now carefully scrutinizing him.

Ye Ming quickly added with a smile, ”Young Master Chen is Feng Wuchen, the Hall Master of the Dragon God Palace in the Main God Realm, a rising new power.”

”Young Master Chen, let me introduce you. This is Zhao XuanYing, the Palace Master of Xuan Ying Divine Palace, this is the Great Elder Liu Bufan, this is the Second Elder Tang Zong, and this is...” Ye Ming introduced them one by one to Feng Wuchen, who cupped his fists to each.

”Palace Master of Xuan Ying, three Elders, my purpose in coming this time is actually to discuss a cooperation with you.” Feng Wuchen said calmly, very politely.

”Cooperation?” Zhao XuanYing and the three Elders showed surprise on their faces.

”Indeed.” Feng Wuchen nodded slightly.

Zhao XuanYing first glanced at Ye Ming before asking, ”I wonder what kind of cooperation Hall Master Feng proposes?”

”All kinds of herbs, materials, and rare treasures. I hope Xuan Ying Divine Palace can provide them to me long-term, at prices according to Xuan Ying Divine Palace’s rates.” Feng Wuchen said with a polite smile.

Ye Ming interjected, ”Palace Master of Xuan Ying, Dragon God Palace’s demand is huge, and even precious treasures can be purchased in large quantities.”

Zhao XuanYing shook his head slightly, ”I’m afraid to disappoint you both. Many large powers wish to cooperate with Xuan Ying Divine Palace, but I’ve refused them all. Firstly, because Xuan Ying Divine Palace is already cooperating with the auction house; secondly, due to a shortage of herbs and materials recently, Xuan Ying Divine Palace can’t provide to other powers; and thirdly, Xuan Ying Divine Palace cannot supply all herbs and materials to anyone. You must have seen that the daily demand is overwhelming, and we are powerless.”

”Twice the price.” Feng Wuchen said calmly.

”Twice the price?” The three Elders’ faces showed surprise that Feng Wuchen would offer twice the price.

Yet Zhao XuanYing still shook his head, ”Hall Master Feng, I’m truly unable to assist.”

”This...” Ye Ming looked helplessly at Feng Wuchen.

”This old fox is really greedy.” Feng Wuchen thought to himself in frustration.

Xuan Ying Divine Palace is the only one of its kind in the Seven Divine Realms; with business brought to their doorstep, Zhao XuanYing naturally wanted to raise the price.

”I wonder what condition Palace Master of Xuan Ying would set for agreeing to cooperate with me? State your terms, Palace Master.” Feng Wuchen asked, unwilling to believe such a large power couldn’t supply herbs and materials.

”Hall Master Feng, it’s not a matter of conditions; Xuan Ying Divine Palace truly cannot provide.” Zhao XuanYing once again shook his head, rejecting.

To be blunt, twice the price wasn’t impressive to Zhao XuanYing.

”Master, Xuan Ying Divine Palace earns a vast number of Divine Spirit Stones daily; they don’t even consider twice the price.” Sword Spirit transmitted telepathically.

Gazing at Zhao XuanYing, Feng Wuchen asked, ”What if it involves space rings?”
