Little did he know, being able to achieve Foundation Establishment was already very impressive.
Other Spirit Plant Masters studying Seasonal Divine Techniques, who doesn’t spend years accumulating to transform them into Cloud Palaces’ Cloud Treasure?
Fortunately, Li Ye would always comfort himself, and since he acquired many good things, he knew some matters couldn’t be forced.
So after a brief moment of disappointment, he quickly moved on.
"Being able to take a break is also a good thing."
"This Xiguang Rice should be cultivated with Sunlight Spirit Water, I’ll try it when I get back."
Thinking of this, he directly leaped away from the Light-bearing Pool, intending to check out the stalls. Get full chapters from 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Today was only the first day of opening, there shouldn’t be that many people, hence he walked briskly.
When he leisurely arrived, Senior Sister Jiang immediately noticed him and shouted, "Quickly go to the Guest Welcoming Hall at the back; there are lots of business affairs waiting for your decision!"
Senior Sister Jiang’s tone was urgent, evidently a significant matter.
"Alright." Li Ye turned around without hesitation.
Curious about what was going on, he quickly arrived at the Guest Welcoming Hall and was met with numerous gazes as he stepped inside.
This scene seemed somewhat familiar?
Just as he was calmly about to speak, Su Ya shouted, "There, the principal has arrived; you can discuss with him now!"
Then Su Ya, looking exhausted, handed a booklet to Li Ye and quickly left as if pursued by a demon beast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Hmm?" Li Ye glanced quickly at the booklet, and his mouth twitched for a moment.
Inside were orders from various races!
If those were to be met, just the monthly honey supply alone would be around ten thousand jin, let alone the massive quantity of Lotus Pill, gourd oil, and Potato Flood Dragon meat.
Especially the Merfolk’s honey request directly mentioned unlimited acquisition, and the Potato Flood Dragon meat was likewise in the Enlightened Race’s orders.
No wonder Su Ya looked drained; he couldn’t provide a precise answer and worried about affecting Li Ye’s profit, so he continued discussing here.
Warmth rose in Li Ye’s heart; he should certainly compensate Senior Brother Su well afterward.
However, for now, he had to deal with these friendly visitors from other races.
He calmly sat at the foremost position, his tone indifferent:
"Everyone, I can give you an accurate answer."
"The quantity of items I can produce is limited because, as you have seen, they are all top-quality items, and caring for these spirit plants and spirit beasts is no easy task."
The gourd oil, for instance, must be handed over to the sect entirely, although he could extract a little, but only a small amount.
As for the Lotus Pill, even Ye Hall urgently needed it, so naturally, he couldn’t provide much.
Other items like scales of Golden Red Dragon Carp, Moonlight Pearls from Flint Fire Crystal Insects, Flint Fire seeds, Spirit Water Phoenix Eye Lotus gourds... their production wouldn’t be abundant.
The first reason is that some belong to special circumstances, take the Golden Red Dragon Carp for example.
He looked for Zhou Family to purchase more later on, but some have no binding conditions on the panel, possibly due to environmental and past factors influencing demand.
This aspect restricts mass production.
The second reason is he plans to propagate and nurture seeds from these spirit beasts and plants, cultivating them generation by generation.
This selection process might yield special effects, who knows.
Finally, the usage of spirit plants hasn’t reached the limit yet, and they can continue to grow.
As time progresses, their Spiritual Qi will become more abundant, and efficacy will increase accordingly.
Of course, he’d keep some good stuff for personal use or interpersonal dealings; these self-grown "local specialties" make excellent gifts.
Hence, he never intended to sell in large quantities.
Upon hearing his words, the non-human race visitors who bear little difference from the human race all looked disappointed.
"Taoist Friend Li, just tell us how much you can sell." Yang Ke smiled at him, "This way, we’ll have an idea."
With such a prompt, Li Ye followed up, "Other than honey and Potato Flood Dragon meat, the rest are just what’s displayed at the stalls.
If anyone wants them, just buy directly.
I can’t supply in bulk, nor will I sign any contracts!"
If they felt slightly disappointed by his previous words, then hearing this, the visitors were directly jolted to stand.
"Then Taoist Friend Li, see you in a bit."
"Indeed, we better go buy the items now."
Instantly, the room emptied considerably, seemingly fearing missing out on items.
Only three remained seated there.
Thanks to Senior Brother Su, the booklet helpfully marked their identities—
Yang Ke, the Young Clan Leader of the Merfolk’s Yangyao lineage; Li Sui, Centurion of the Enlightened Race; and another, Xuan You from the Xuan Turtle Race.
Li Ye looked at the female cultivator, roughly as tall as a seven- or eight-year-old child, and spoke: "Taoist Friend Xuan You, the production of gourd oil is even rarer, so I’m afraid I can’t supply it to you."
The female cultivator named Xuan You maintained a calm demeanor throughout, her expression unchanging, she nodded: "I understand, but I’d like to discuss another business.
I can sense an incomprehensible Spiritual Power from Turtle Clan within the gourd oil, imbued with perpetuating Power of Life, potentially aiding our clan’s shell shedding.
If possible, I’d like to ask Taoist Friend to help tend some clanspeople, with just the aura of the gourd aiding in successful shell shedding.
For each clansperson, the Xuan Turtle Race is willing to provide one tael of Earth Vein Spirit Milk, and any shed shell can also be given to Taoist Friend for disposal."
Help with shell shedding?
This likely involves a special circumstance of the Xuan Turtle Race, although Li Ye was slightly tempted, he didn’t rush to agree.
He only replied: "I’ll discuss this matter with the sect; if agreeable, I’ll notify Taoist Friend Xuan You at the earliest."
Xuan You nodded slowly, "That would be good, then I shall await Taoist Friend’s response."
Having said that, she leisurely departed.
Now, only Yang Ke and Li Sui remained in the hall.
Li Ye decided to address Yang Ke’s concerns first.
He smiled apologetically at Li Sui and looked at Yang Ke, "Taoist Friend Yang, I see you want to raise the price per jin of honey?"
"Indeed." Yang Ke replied earnestly, "Taoist Friend’s honey improves slightly in quality every month, and if I don’t raise the price, I’d feel morally compromised."
"Is that all? Taoist Friend must have other ideas, right?" Li Ye rubbed his temples, "Just say it directly."
"As expected, I couldn’t hide it from Taoist Friend."
Yang Ke sighed lightly, "Perhaps other clanspeople will soon seek Taoist Friend for this honey, and if Taoist Friend refrains from selling to them, I’m willing to raise the price to fifteen hundred Spirit Stones.
Additionally, I would add the unique East Pole Yang Pearl of my Yangyao lineage to the trade list."
He waved his hand, and a perfectly round golden pearl was sent before Li Ye with spiritual power; the light it emitted was extremely pure sunlight.
Much purer than any sunlight he could extract with Xiguang Bell and Jianmu.
With such a pearl, feeding his Lifebound Magical Artifact Sun and Moon Ring would be much smoother, as the moonlight Yin Attribute is supplied by another type of pearl.
After a brief contemplation, he decided, "Okay."
"Thank you, Taoist Friend Li!"
"Then I’ll take my leave for now."
Yang Ke felt relieved upon hearing, understanding Li Ye might need to discuss matters with the Enlightened Race afterward, possibly involving details not appropriate for him.
So he promptly stood and bid farewell.
After he left, Li Sui initiated the conversation, "It seems Taoist Friend possesses considerable Merit after Hungry Bone Transformation."
This Centurion of the Enlightened Race stood and approached Li Ye, taking something out as he did.
His tone carried unmistakable confidence.
"Taoist Friend may want to examine this item; I’m confident you won’t refuse a transaction with our clan."
