Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 256 - 166: The Tiger Harms No One, But People Harm the Tiger

Chapter 256: Chapter 166: The Tiger Harms No One, But People Harm the Tiger

Otherwise, buying at a price half or even a whole point above the market, without any profit, they’d be crazy.

"Fellow Daoist, you mentioned before, you mentioned there was a big deal in the East District?"

Qin Feng was curious, and this was something Elder Yao had no need to hide, as anyone with an interest could easily find out,

"That’s right, the Seven Nations Chamber of Commerce has been procuring many resources lately, and because of this, the East District Market has already negotiated with us..."

With Elder Yao’s hoarse voice trailing off, Qin Feng’s eyes immediately turned red.

Why do all the good deals end up with the surnamed Lin and Hu.

"Such a big deal, won’t the East District Market be making a fortune!"

This made Qin Feng quite envious, and he couldn’t help but reveal their plan to poach people with high profits, even stating that their market also had a chamber wanting to procure a batch of resources.

However, hearing this, Lin Chang’an, disguised as Elder Yao, felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Fine, business should be fair, but if you’re playing tricks in the dark, he just wanted to teach this person a lesson.

Who would have thought the tiger had no intent to harm, but people harbored ill will against it.

How greedy this Qin is.

Then don’t blame him for being ruthless.

"Fellow Qin, I’m truly sorry, but we probably can’t do business with you for the next six months. The East District Market offered us a pretty good price..."

"Elder Yao, please don’t do this."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng’s face changed drastically.

The business with the East District Market already made him envious, and now this loose cultivator told him there would be no deals for at least six months.

How could their West District Market, just starting to improve, survive like this?

"Fellow Daoist, we’re willing to offer a high price, even for this transaction..."

However, Lin Chang’an, disguised as Elder Yao, shook his head at the so-called temptation, choosing to refuse directly.

After all, one was a feast for today, the other a meal for every day, anyone would know how to choose.

But now, Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you know our West District Market is just starting to improve, and we’ve also linked up with several chambers, preparing to procure a large amount of resources..."

At this time, Qin Feng’s face was full of difficulty, but in his heart, he was determined.

The Seven Nations Chamber of Commerce had many, and he wasn’t unaware of their recent large procurement of resources, he just didn’t have the capital before.

But now, seeing the East District about to make a huge profit, he naturally couldn’t help but be envious.

Might as well take this opportunity to teach both the Lin and Hu families a lesson, even if it means no profit for himself, he wants to recruit these people.

"Fellow Daoist, we’re willing to offer a high price..."

"Fellow Qin, we’ve been trading with the East District Market for many years, it’s extremely stable, and your one offer of a high price would have us break faith."

At this point, Lin Chang’an, disguised as Elder Yao, shook his head.

Clearly stating that even though they were loose cultivators, they would not ruin long-term interests for short-term gain.

"Fellow Daoist, to say something unpleasant, isn’t any deal just a deal, how much can you earn trading with the East District? Although our West District Market came later,

it’s precisely because of this that there’s more room, if fellow Daoist agrees, we won’t earn a penny from this batch of goods, just hoping to befriend you."

After Qin Feng had said this much, Lin Chang’an, disguised as Elder Yao, appeared troubled.

"But... we had already received a deposit from the East District Market..."

"We’ll double it! No! Triple compensate!"

Finally, under the hefty profit, Lin Chang’an, disguised as Elder Yao, was clearly shaken, but had not made a firm decision.

This, on the contrary, did not arouse any suspicion in Qin Feng, as this was the natural reaction.

Later, the two talked for a long time, and Qin Feng was not in a hurry to get a reply, but kept offering hefty profits.

But empty words couldn’t be trusted, Qin Feng knew this well, so he nodded with a smile, promising to deliver a generous gift in a few days.

Only after Qin Feng had left, Elder Yao, sitting in the tavern, displayed a cold glint on his face.

"Surnamed Qin, since you are so ruthless, don’t blame me for not leaving you a path to live."

...

West District Market.

When Qin Feng hurried back to gather everyone, and shared the information he had gathered and his thoughts.

Each Foundation Establishment Cultivator had a different expression upon hearing it.

"The Seven Nations Chamber of Commerce is procuring large quantities in Immortal City, that’s no secret, now the bigger issue is we don’t have enough resources."

"In my opinion, Fellow Qin is right, no one takes any offense at a slightly unattractive approach, which cultivator hasn’t come this far by feeding off others."

"That’s right, we can definitely contact the Seven Nations Chamber, even if we don’t earn a penny this time, if we can close this deal, it’ll ruin the East District’s transaction, tarnishing their reputation."

"If that’s the case, I’m just afraid of offending those six Foundation Establishment cultivators from the East District."

"Offend people? Haven’t we offended enough on this journey?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators, in the face of profit, some were worried about offending the East District Black Market, but others were tempted.

When the profit is significant enough, it will cloud people’s judgment.

Seeing most people somewhat tempted, Qin Feng nodded seriously, saying:

"Everyone, if we succeed this time, we’ll be able to recruit all those skill cultivators from the East District, and if the East District’s transaction fails, we in the West District can replace the East District’s market.

The profits the East District has made recently, you’ve all seen, what do you think?"

Although Qin Feng was very tempted, this West District Market wasn’t his alone, he needed to drag everyone else into the water too.

Each cultivator looked at each other, and an old Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qin Family frowned, worried, saying:

"Patriarch, this is too aggressive, I’ve heard the East District Market has a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and that Talisman Master Lin has significant connections with Celestial Profound City."

"Elder Qin, we are at a life or death moment, if we miss this opportunity, we in the West District will remain half-dead, how can we rise?"

With Qin Feng’s calm expression, ever since proposing the suggestion, he aimed to have everyone express a joint opinion.

"If everyone agrees, this time we won’t earn a penny from the transaction, we need to offer significant profits to lure these people.

Of course, if you disagree, we will continue to develop slowly, watching others earn Spirit Stones."

The higher the risk, the greater the reward.

No one here is foolish, everyone’s eyes gleamed.

If they agree, it means recruiting people, sabotaging the East District Market’s transaction, thoroughly offending the other side.

Even though it seems they wouldn’t earn from this transaction, they’d have to invest heavily, but everyone could see, if successful, they’d replace the East District.

Celestial Profound City Black Market has only a few, the East District is undoubtedly the most enviable.

"As Fellow Qin said, offering heavy profits is the only way to win over these people. I’m willing to take a risk," said Old Xing.

"Indeed, slowly developing like we are now, half-alive, is really frustrating."

"Do it!"

One by one, under the lure of profit, they were all moved.

Then the ten of them began to take out Spirit Stones and resources again, prepared to recruit these skill cultivators over.

Even if Spirit Stones and resources were not enough, they pulled out some of their most prized possessions.

...

Meanwhile, in the East District Black Market.

Lin Chang’an was sitting in a pavilion, holding an Array Insights Jade Scroll, sipping Spirit Tea, and savoring its insights.

While Old Hu walked over with a frown, deep in thought.

"Brother Lin, where do you think this group from the West District found their people? I’ve heard they’ve recently acquired quite a bit of high-level resources.

Before I came over, I even saw that Qin fellow negotiating with a chamber from Sha Yun Kingdom in a tavern, with what they have in the West District, can they handle it?"

Seeing Old Hu’s skepticism, Lin Chang’an glanced at Old Hu and couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

"Old Hu, there are too many cultivators coming to Celestial Profound City recently, who knows, and besides, the Qin family is an old Foundation Establishment clan.

It’s not unusual for them to have connections from ancestors who were Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Upon hearing Lin Chang’an’s explanation, Old Hu also shook his head and stopped dwelling on these thoughts, while their East District business kept growing better and better.

However, the favorable period is only during this time.

Once the large batch of resources from the Beast Tide is consumed, it will all return to normal.

"Brother Lin, your broad-mindedness is something I need to learn from," Old Hu laughed, making Lin Chang’an shake his head with a smile.

The Array Dao Incomplete Insights in his hand was sent by the Qin fellow.

However, it wasn’t used to draw in Elder Yao, but for another identity.

These days, his dozen or so identities had earned a lot.

Various generous gifts were sent, ultimately eighteen people with two refusing, but sixteen of them reluctantly agreed.

But it also involved a huge demand, asking for a batch of resources.

And five times compensation for the East District’s previous deposit.

Even though Qin Feng and his people were pained, they knew that if they could bring these people in, ruin the East District’s deal, they could quickly replace the East District with this batch of goods.

The good days are ahead.
