Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards
Chapter 502 - 282: Forced Entry! An Unexpected Reversal
This time, there were a total of three pieces of Tier Four metal.
Among them, one was Tier Four Upper Grade metal, and the other two were both Tier Four Lower Grade metals.
In terms of both quantity and quality, he was very satisfied.
Bang!
Just as Profound Sand True Monarch was in a good mood and about to say something to the two Core Formation Elders, a loud noise erupted outside the Cave Mansion, followed by the entire cave shaking violently. Dust and debris started to fall from the ceiling of the hall.
"What’s going on?"
The two Core Formation Elders looked horrified, glancing towards the direction outside the cave.
One must know that this was the Cave Mansion of their Supreme Elder, protected by a Tier Four Lower Grade Array!
"Who dares to break my array and intrude on my cave?"
At the same time, Profound Sand True Monarch abruptly stood up, an anger blazing in his eyes.
Even though this Cave Mansion was hastily established away from the Sect, it was still protected by a Tier Four Lower Grade Array.
Of course, setting up a Tier Four Lower Grade Array isn’t easy.
This array of his, with a relatively small coverage, could only protect his Cave Mansion and was set up with a portable array flag.
Although it was just a small range Tier Four Lower Grade Array, breaking through it forcefully was not so simple, requiring at least the strength of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
"Could it be that Nong Yan kid?" Profound Sand True Monarch’s eyes flickered with a hint of ruthlessness as he stared tightly at the direction outside the cave.
Tap, tap.
Under the gaze of the three of them, footsteps echoed from the passage.
Soon after, two figures gradually appeared in front of the three.
It was precisely Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch.
The two did not bother to disguise themselves.
Because they knew, once they made a move, Profound Sand True Monarch would recognize them anyway, so disguising was pointless. They openly revealed their true selves.
"So it’s the two Supreme Elders of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, Qingyun True Monarch, Qi Chuan True Monarch..."
Upon seeing these two figures appear, Profound Sand True Monarch’s pupils contracted, and he spoke slowly.
"Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?"
Upon hearing his words, the two Core Formation True Masters in the hall exchanged glances, a trace of fear flickering in their eyes.
They were naturally aware of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, a Sect with Dual Nascent Souls, the number one Sect in Beihua State, which even the alliance of the other two Nascent Soul Major Sects in Beihua State couldn’t contend against.
Now that the two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Supreme Elders of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect showed up here together, seemingly with unfriendly intentions, it naturally made them a bit apprehensive.
"You two...must be here for this High Tier Spirit Ore Vein, right?" Profound Sand True Monarch kept his eyes tightly on Qi Chuan and asked in a deep voice.
"To be precise, it’s for the Tier Four Metal, especially the Tier Four Middle to High-Grade Metal. I’m not interested in the Tier Four Lower Grade Metal." Qi Chuan opened his mouth, directly stating his purpose.
"Of course, I also know that for resources at this level, Profound Sand True Monarch wouldn’t easily give them up, so we have no choice but to..." As Qi Chuan spoke, strange Sword Intent began to flow in his eyes.
On the side, Qingyun True Monarch was also getting ready to strike.
"Wait! Who said I wouldn’t give it up?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
However, just as the two were about to make a move, Profound Sand True Monarch’s voice suddenly rang out.
"This... "
Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch exchanged looks, then turned to Profound Sand True Monarch, saying, "You really are willing to give up Tier Four Middle to High-Grade Metal, resources of this level?"
One must know, just moments ago, Profound Sand True Monarch had seemed extremely furious; how could his attitude change so quickly?
"It’s not about willingness."
Profound Sand True Monarch shook his head and said, "Resources that cannot be guarded have no real value in clinging to."
One’s own people know their own matters.
Facing a coordinated assault from the Dual Nascent Souls Middle Stage, he was not their match alone.
Although he truly didn’t want to give up the Tier Four Middle to High-Grade Metal, fighting alone to keep it wouldn’t end well.
In the Cultivation Realm, flexibility is essential.
"...Then take out the Tier Four Middle to High-Grade Metal." Qi Chuan glanced at Qingyun True Monarch, and after he nodded, he tried to speak to Profound Sand True Monarch.
"Here are thirteen pieces of Tier Four Lower Grade Metal, six pieces of Tier Four Middle Grade Metal, three pieces of Tier Four Upper Grade Metal, all here. If you don’t believe me, I can take out my Spatial Artifact for you to inspect."
Unexpectedly, Profound Sand True Monarch really took out a pile of High Tier Metals from his Spatial Artifact and sent them to Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch with Mana, appearing very cooperative.
Looking at these High Tier Metals, Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch fell silent for a moment.
Regardless, one has to admit that Profound Sand True Monarch handles matters with great flexibility!
"You take care of it," Qingyun True Monarch said.
Their objective was the Tier Four Middle to High-Grade Metal. As it was right in front of them, there was no reason not to accept.
Thus, Qi Chuan directly accepted the six pieces of Tier Four Middle Grade Metal and the three pieces of Tier Four Upper Grade Metal, while using Mana to push back the thirteen pieces of Tier Four Lower Grade Metal to Profound Sand True Monarch.
"I stated, I only need the Tier Four Middle to High-Grade Metal."
"???"
Seeing this, Profound Sand True Monarch was full of questions.
This robbery is quite particular?
"Furthermore, since you’re so proactive in giving up this Tier Four Middle to High-Grade Metal, I won’t take it for nothing. I’m a Tier Four Middle Grade Alchemist and Talisman Maker, so I can exchange these for Tier Four Middle-Lower Grade Elixirs and Talismans at a 30% higher market rate," Qi Chuan said.
His primary objective was this Tier Four Middle to High-Grade Metal. Now that he could easily obtain it, other aspects were naturally less important.
Moreover, Tier Four Middle-Lower Grade Elixirs and Talismans have substantial value in themselves. But given that he’s a Tier Four Middle Grade Alchemist and Talisman Maker, the cost isn’t high.
Solving the problem with some Tier Four Middle-Lower Grade Elixirs and Talismans seemed worthwhile to Qi Chuan.
"This...are you serious?"
Hearing this, Profound Sand True Monarch couldn’t help but lift his eyes, looking at Qi Chuan.
"Of course, it’s genuine!" Qi Chuan replied.
"In that case, I have two more pieces of High Tier Metal here..." Profound Sand True Monarch said, taking two pieces of Tier Four Middle Grade Metal and two pieces of Tier Four Upper Grade Metal from his Spatial Artifact and sending them to Qi Chuan with Mana.
"This...you..." Witnessing this scene, Qi Chuan was somewhat speechless as he looked at Profound Sand True Monarch.
So he still had a few pieces of Tier Four Middle-Upper Grade Metal stashed away?
Nonetheless, Qi Chuan didn’t say much more.
He directly accepted those four pieces of Tier Four Middle-Upper Grade Metal: "For these four, I’ll also exchange them for Tier Four Middle-Lower Grade Elixirs and Talismans at a 30% higher market rate."
"In that High Tier Spirit Ore Vein, there should still be a small portion of Tier Four Middle-Upper Grade Metal unmined..." Profound Sand True Monarch said slowly.
"...Alright...once you mine it out, bring it to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, and I’ll offer the same 30% higher market rate," Qi Chuan said, a twitch at the corner of his mouth, reflecting on how he had never expected to engage in business negotiations upon breaking into this cave.
Given that the array outside the cave had been destroyed, he added that he would compensate for the loss of the Tier Four Lower Grade Array, using Tier Four Middle-Lower Grade Elixirs and Talismans for the valuation.
"Wonderful," Profound Sand True Monarch said, "Then you really don’t want these Tier Four Lower Grade Metals, Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan? If needed..."
"I really don’t need these Tier Four Lower Grade Metals..." Qi Chuan reiterated.
"Okay," Profound Sand True Monarch didn’t insist further, a hint of regret in his voice.
Meanwhile, in the stone chamber hall, the two Core Formation Elders of Profound Sand Valley, who had moved to the corner, remained quiet, acting as though they hadn’t seen or heard anything, neither speaking nor intervening, pretending to be nonexistent.
In fact, a business conversation between three Nascent Soul True Monarchs was not something they could participate in.
