Chapter 353: The Deal
Qi Shaoqing and Shi Fei arrived at the outpost where the caravan was stationed. They were guided by two Qi Cultivation practitioners as they made their way inside.
Upon entering the outpost, Qi Shaoqing was greatly surprised by the scene before him. He had managed this outpost for a while in the past and had visited it several times, so he was somewhat familiar with it.
In the past, there had been nearly ten thousand people here. Although that was a substantial number, most of the time, except for a small number of guards on the city walls, you wouldn't see many people around.
This was because most cultivators spent their time hidden away in their own cave mansions, only coming out when necessary. It was common for many of them to shut themselves in their cave mansions for a year or more.
Qi Shaoqing estimated that after Wang Hong's heavy losses, there wouldn't be as many people here as before. It should be quieter now.
But what he saw was more than a thousand people lined up on a massive Training Ground, divided into many groups, each led by different individuals.
At this moment, all these people were practicing various martial arts and combat techniques.
At that moment, dozens of people simultaneously summoned their Magical Weapons. Upon the leader's command, they struck a large boulder, which shattered into countless pieces and scattered in all directions.
"This is at least equivalent to a full-powered strike in the Foundation Building stage!" Shi Fei exclaimed, following Qi Shaoqing. He hadn't expected these seemingly ordinary Qi Cultivation practitioners to possess such formidable power.
However, Shi Fei could hear the leader of this group of practitioners seeming dissatisfied with the recent strike, constantly mentioning the names of some practitioners and pointing out their shortcomings.
Meanwhile, other practitioners were also cooperating with each other, using various techniques for defense, containment, and attack.
"How long have you been practicing like this?" Shi Fei asked the Qi Cultivation practitioner who was guiding them.
"Senior, ever since the last major battle, Senior Wang divided us into groups and started this training," the Qi Cultivation practitioner replied honestly.
Shi Fei took a deep breath. In such a short time, their combat capabilities had improved at least twice as much. These Qi Cultivation practitioners had made remarkable progress.
Then the two of them inquired about some more details from this Qi Cultivation practitioner.
"I've also heard that your caravan has a unique healing Pill called the Hanyu Pill, with extraordinary effects. It doesn't seem to be listed on this inventory," Qi Shaoqing inquired. He had only heard about the Hanyu Pill; as for the Jade Marrow Pill, even Luo Zhongjie and Wen Lan didn't know of its existence. Those who had been saved by the Jade Marrow Pill only knew they had been rescued, as Wang Hong had never revealed its name.
"We do have some of those Pills, but due to the scarcity of raw materials, our inventory is limited. We usually don't sell them externally," Wen Lan said with a troubled expression.
Before Qi Shaoqing could respond, Shi Fei spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Wen, please name your price. I hope you can sell me some."
Shi Fei knew that Qi Shaoqing had a Nascent Soul stage grandfather who certainly didn't lack healing and life-saving Pills. However, he himself needed them. If he were to get injured, he wouldn't have many high-quality Pills to rely on.
Therefore, he was eager to obtain the life-saving Hanyu Pills.
Wen Lan thought for a moment, then showed a reluctant expression, saying, "If Fellow Daoist Shi insists, one Hanyu Pill can be traded for at least ten High-Quality Spirit Stones, or thirty thousand Spirit Stones for a Lower-Quality Spirit Stone."
Wen Lan quoted a relatively high price, almost on par with Foundation Establishment Pills.
After hesitating for a while, Shi Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! I'll trade two for thirty thousand Lower-Quality Spirit Stones."
Since he could use Lower-Quality Spirit Stones for the trade, he was reluctant to use High-Quality Spirit Stones.
They immediately exchanged the money and the goods, completing the transaction.
Afterward, the three of them discussed their intentions for the upcoming goods trade. Specific identification of goods and the transfer of items would be handled by specialists.
Once both parties completed their transactions, Qi Shaoqing said, "I also wish to propose another trade with Fellow Daoist. I wonder if you would be interested?"
"What kind of trade is it? Feel free to propose, as long as it's within my discretion," Wen Lan responded.
