Chapter 62: Suggestion and Plan
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
“This…”
Chen Daoxuan knew that he had fooled this silly girl quite a bit.
Chen Daoxuan could not help but feel guilty when he saw the sincerity on Luo Li’s pretty face.
However, he immediately threw away this trace of guilt.
He glanced at Luo Li and then at the large amount of rare treasures brought by the merfolk. An even bolder idea emerged in his mind.
Chen Daoxuan’s thoughts were floating in his mind, but his expression remained unchanged.”Miss Luo, 1 can feel the sincerity of your merfolk clan, but… Ten spirit stones for a Water Spirit Pearl, isn’t that too …”
Before Chen Daoxuan could finish his sentence, Luo Li’s pretty face blushed. She stammered, “”I know that ten spirit stones for a Water Spirit Pearl is a little expensive, but it’s still cheaper than the Zhou family’s, right?
Like … If you still think it’s expensive, we can still discuss it.”
“Alright! There’s no need to discuss. Let’s set this price.”
Chen Daoxuan waved his hand.
He felt that he could not continue negotiating with Luo Li. If he continued negotiating, he would probably be able to raise the price to 1 spirit stone per pill.
Although the Chen family needed to accumulate initial capital, they could not scam the merfolk clan like this. After all, he already regarded the merfolk clan as his exclusive property.
Hearing that Chen Daoxuan had agreed to the price, Luo Li heaved a sigh of relief.
For so many years, due to the Zhou family’s oppression, the merfolk race had never dared to interact with the human race. The little information about the human race was also passed down by the ancestors of the race.
Luo Li knew that Chen Daoxuan had made a lot of profit from the transactions between the two parties.
But at the same time, their merfolk clan had also obtained the weapons they wanted from the deal with Chen Daoxuan.
In Luo Li’s opinion, the deal between the two sides was a win-win situation.
After negotiating the prices of several kinds of spirit ores and Water Spirit Beads, Chen Daoxuan said, “”Since the price is settled, let’s make a deal.”
“Yes, alright.”
Luo Li showed her two canine teeth and nodded with a smile.”We brought a total of 101756 spiritual stones, as well as various spiritual ores and spiritual pearls. The value is about 170,000 spiritual stones.”
“In other words, the total value of your goods is 271756 spirit stones.”
“Yes.” Luo Li nodded.
“I have brought a total of 350 flying swords,” Chen Daoxuan
continued.”According to the price we agreed on, 500 Spiritual Stones for each flying sword. That’s a total of 175000 Spiritual Stones.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Li felt a little awkward. She seemed to have brought too many things, and Chen Daoxuan could not finish them all.
Just as she was in a dilemma, Chen Daoxuan thought of something and smiled. “Miss Luo, although this is our second transaction, what do you think of me? ”
Upon hearing this, Luo Li was stunned for a moment. Then, her pretty face blushed slightly. She turned her head and said,”Not bad.”
“I have a very good impression of Miss Luo and the merfolk clan!”
He paused for a moment.” So 1 think that our deal can continue and expand.”
“Expanse?”
“Yes! Enlarge.”
Looking at Luo Li’s confused look, Chen Daoxuan continued to explain,” For example, there are many resources in the deep sea that we humans can use, but you merfolk can’t. For example, this spirit ore is one of them.
“And our human race also has many things that your merfolk race urgently needs, such as magic tools.
Therefore, 1 think that it’s better for both of us to have a public discussion about what resources we still need from each other.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Li fell silent.
After a long time.
“Our merfolk clan lacks food.” She raised her head and said.
“What?”
Chen Daoxuan was almost confused by Luo Li’s words.
After cultivators walked the path of Qi Refinement, they basically stopped eating.
The lowest among the mermen was at the early-stage of level one, equivalent to human early-stage Qi Refinement cultivators. How could they lack food?
He seemed to have seen through Chen Daoxuan’s doubts.
” The Mermen Tribe’s cultivation method is different from that of humans,” Luo Li explained slowly.” Speaking of which, our cultivation method is more like that of ancient cultivators.”
“Ancient cultivators.”
Hearing this word, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but come to a realization.
The ancient cultivators referred to the group of cultivators from ancient times.
In the cultivation world, it did not mean that the current cultivators were inferior to the ancient cultivators.
It could only be said that the paths taken by the two sides were somewhat different.
Ancient cultivators usually cultivated Qi and body at the same time. However, there was a characteristic of ancient cultivators, and that was that they did not have any magic tools.
In the beginning, ancient cultivators imitated the cultivation path of demon beasts.
At that time, the human race was not the overlord of this world.
Among the ten thousand races, humans could only be said to be a medium-sized race.
However, with the emergence of the cultivator community, the human race relied on their terrifying reproductive ability to rapidly grow into the largest race in this world.
Later on, he became the overlord of this world.
The other non-humankind beings and demon beasts were either hiding in the deep mountains or deep seas, not daring to show their faces.
As the human cultivation world continued to develop, the cultivation system also began to change.
Especially with the appearance of the defensive magic tools, the human race realized that they didn’t need to spend a lot of energy and resources to cultivate their bodies. They could also obtain terrifying defensive power.
At this time, body tempering techniques were gradually banned.
After that, the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation became more and more prosperous, which led to the current Immortal Cultivation World.
Luo Li said that the merfolk clan’s cultivation method was more inclined to the ancient cultivators, and Chen Daoxuan was very clear about what she meant.
They were probably really short of food!
Although there were large groups of demonic beasts at the bottom of the sea, they were not weak chickens. How could they be so easy to kill?
Moreover, demonic beasts all appeared in groups.
The mermen wanted to hunt the demon beasts, and the demon beasts wanted to hunt them.
This was also the reason why Luo Li and the others were in a hurry to buy weapons.
When he heard Luo Li say that they lacked food, a plan that had been brewing in Chen Daoxuan’s mind for a long time was brought up.
” ATiss Luo, other than the path of Qi Refinement, have you also taken the path of body refinement?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Li nodded at first, then shook her head. “”Our body refinement is still a little different from your human body refinement.”
At this point, she smiled.” We’ve learned about your human race’s body-tempering cultivation technique. The consumption of resources is too terrifying.
The cultivation path of our merfolk race is equivalent to a simplified version of the combination of body refinement and qi refinement path.”
Chen Daoxuan didn’t know what a simplified version of the path of body refinement and qi refinement was.
However, when he thought about how the merfolk clan’s clan leader was almost killed by Zhou Mubai, who was at the first level of the Purple Mansion Realm, he knew that the cultivation method of the merfolk clan was not that good.
“I think that our Chen family can trade spiritual rice with your merfolk clan in the future other than weapons,” Chen Daoxuan continued after thinking for a while.
“Spiritual rice?”
Luo Li’s eyes lit up.
Obviously, she knew what spiritual rice was.
Looking at Luo Li’s delighted expression, Chen Daoxuan finally revealed his true intentions. He said, “”Since both of us have agreed to enter into a deep cooperation, it is very important to have a unified transaction currency.”
Luo Li was a little embarrassed when she heard this.
This was because the human race’s recognized currency was spirit stones, and all the spirit stones of the merfolk race were already here.
He saw Luo Li’s troubled expression.
Chen Daoxuan smiled.” Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have spirit stones. Miss Luo, have you heard of the contribution system in the cultivation clans?”
“What is the contribution system?”
” To put it simply, the clan members will hand over resources such as spirit stones, spirit pearls, and so on to the clan to obtain contribution points. Then, with these contribution points, they can exchange for spirit stones, spirit pearls, spirit stones, and other resources.”
” You mean to use the Chen family’s contribution points to replace our currency?”
Luo Li finally reacted and asked.
“Yes, that’s what 1 mean.”
Seeing Luo Li’s hesitation, Chen Daoxuan said, “”Miss Luo, are you worried about our Chen family and afraid that we won’t admit to taking your things, or
H
“No, no, no. 1 believe you.”
Luo Li said bashfully,” That’s right…lf that’s the case, I’m afraid that both sides will forget how many contribution points there are, or that both sides will not be able to explain. You understand what I mean, right?”
“I understand what Miss Luo means.”
Chen Daoxuan took out two blank jade slips from his storage bag and entered two sets of numbers into them.
“I’ve keyed in the number 96756 for each of these two jade slips. It represents
96756 spirit stones.”
Chen Daoxuan handed the jade slip to the other party.” In the future, you can use the contribution points in this jade slip to trade with my Chen family.
We’ll just have to split the amount of spirit stones we spend and the contribution points we’ll get.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Li’s eyes lit up. She took the jade slip and said with ill intentions, “”Aren’t you afraid that I’ll change the numbers in this jade slip?”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan waved the jade slip in his hand and said, “”I still have a copy here. This kind of transaction requires both parties to maintain absolute trust. Otherwise, it won’t be able to continue. Our Chen family is willing to believe in the merfolk clan.”
Hearing Chen Daoxuan’s sincere words, Luo Li could not help but feel ashamed of her little cleverness.
She raised her head and nodded seriously. “”Since your Chen clan is willing to trust our merman clan, we are naturally willing to trust you.”
At this moment, the relationship between the two sides became unprecedentedly harmonious.
In the end, Luo Li said jokingly, “”Do you want to count the spirit stones and spirit minerals?”
Chen Daoxuan shook his head and said with a smile, “”I trust you.”
Luo Li seemed to be touched by his words. She looked at Chen Daoxuan deeply, then turned around and jumped into the sea.
Immediately after, the mermen put down all kinds of resources and put the flying swords into the white shells.
Then, they jumped into the sea and disappeared.
Half a cup of tea later.
On the sea surface dozens of kilometers away from the Sea-viewing Pavilion, a beautiful woman emerged from the sea. She looked at the white figure on the Sea-viewing Pavilion from afar and smiled before disappearing into the sea..
