Chapter 953: You Won’t Be DisappointedTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yang’s expression turned solemn as well even as he replied in a light-hearted tone, “I understand the league’s well-intended sincerity. I can’t make any guarantees regarding the transaction and anything related to it. Even if I do, it would only be an empty promise. Everything can only be made certain after I enter the Spirit’s Grave. What I can bring along, however, isn’t up to me. I hope you understand, Elder Feng, but I’m also confident that anything I retrieve from the Spirit’s Grave will definitely not disappoint the General Commerce League.”

“That would be best,” Feng Guohai answered grimly.

He took out a spatial ring and continued softly, “Take a look for yourself. Never mind the ten mystical steel pieces, but some of the heaven and earth resources can’t be exposed.”

“I understand,” Yun Yang replied and accepted the ring.

“The three heaven and earth resources are basically plants, Ghoul Ginseng aged for twenty thousand years, seventeen thousand years old Ghost Lingzhi, and Rootless Lotus which is fifteen thousand years old. Any one of these is at least ten times more valuable than the ten thousand years old Blood Ginseng you previously obtained.”

Feng Guohai’s words elated Yun Yang.

The Ghoul Ginseng and Ghost Lingzhi were known rare items of fantasy, but the Rootless Lotus was even more difficult to procure!

The Rootless Lotus had never had a fixed place to grow or reside; it grew randomly and floated in midair, from its birth to its maturity. This was how it came by its name. It was also due to this characteristic of the lotus that made it so rare. If it were not for its trait of staying some time where the spiritual Qi was unusually rich, it might not even he discovered and remain unplucked forever!

When the Rootless Lotus absorbed enough nutrients, it would go back to hovering at a high altitude and drifting along wherever the wind took it until it found another spiritual Qi-rich location. As it appeared at the spot, that was the only chance to seize the lotus!

Due to this unique feature, the Rootless Lotus was rarely more than a thousand years old. After all, ace cultivators were frequent visitors of places where spiritual Qi was teeming. Once the lotus was discovered, most of the fated ones would pluck it immediately, as the probability of the same cultivator meeting the same lotus at a different point of his life was practically nil. There was no such thing as temporarily giving up and waiting for the lotus to mature further.

This also caused a fifteen thousand-year-old Rootless Lotus to be the legend of legends. It was, in essence, a valueless gem.

Yun Yang was more than delighted after scanning the goods inside the spatial ring, saying gleefully, “This offering will definitely be a perfect pass! I have confidence that our efforts will pay off.”

Xiao Yushu reminded him, “Don’t be excited too early. We need a significant amount of items in exchange; such is a fair trade.”

“You won’t be disappointed!” Yun Yang chuckled.

The General Commerce League was lavish in preparing this transaction. Aside from the three plants of fantasy, the ten mystical steel pieces overjoyed Yun Yang as well. The Stellar Steels and siderites were not the rarest but they were solidly sublime and had extraordinary value.

What surprised Yun Yang the most was two pieces of dark golden steel.

” Is this Celestial Mystical Gold?” Yun Yang’s eyes glowed with wonder.

Emmie, who was in the deific consciousness space, was very much agitated and salivating, waving its tendrils anxiously, its sprouts pulsating urgently. The three spiritual herbs were incomparably attractive to Emmie; the little creature could not help itself, fully intending to bypass Yun Yang and devour the plants.

As its journey with Yun Yang stretched on, Emmie was not, in any way, ill-treated, but its contact with heaven and earth resources was pitifully limited being in Tianxuan Continent. It was almost sad that this was its first time as an ethereal creature to see such high-level herb.

The ecstasy of receiving the highly coveted items made Emmie dance around involuntarily.

Emmie was already delighted by the Celestial Cotton Gold that Yun Yang had sent in a few days ago, spending the days in concentration to dissect the material and finally making out some of the elements that made up the Celestial Cotton Tree. It then went on to cultivate the tree on its own. As for the long steel chain, Emmie did not waste it, attempting to combine it with the steel lying around in its space, in hope of creating a better and more refined gem.

The plethora of mystical steel Yun Yang sent in previously had all been deconstructed by Emmie, breaking down as many impurities as possible. The tiny hill was now reduced to a piece smaller than half a room, but its quality was several times higher than it had been.

Initially, Emmie had been persistently complaining to Yun Yang that it could not further combine the products without high-quality steel pieces. Then, Feng Guohai came, bringing along with him various mystical steel pieces and the spiritual herbs that were exuding an unusual air of vitality; his presence had long brought about Emmie’s impatience.

“Ayaya…” Emmie urged, pushing Yun Yang back to work. It could not hold itself back anymore.

“The league’s collection this time around is a delightful surprise. It’s much more magnificent than my loftiest expectations,” Yun Yang said in contentment, “In comparison to the previous trade, what you have brought this time far exceeds my anticipation.”

Feng Guohai cautioned him in a serious tone, “Don’t be blindly overjoyed, Brother Yun. You must know that we have sacrificed much to prepare for this transaction and we’re waiting to see if you can produce satisfying goods later. Otherwise, I’m afraid this is a debt you can’t bear.”

“May I ask Elder Feng approximately how much these items prepared are worth if they’re converted to upper-class spiritual jade pieces, according to the market price?” asked Yun Yang.

“At least four hundred thousand pieces of upper-class spiritual jade! If they’re up for auction, they would cost millions.”

Feng Guohai’s expression was grim as he uttered the numbers.

“Brother Yun, the items are exactly according to your last request… We believed that we would obtain more special items this time… that’s why we’ve put in so much effort to gather what we have now. If there aren’t… more special goods… the higher-ups will be very disappointed. The four hundred pieces of spiritual jade are only a market price. The total value of just those three spiritual herbs will be more than that if they were successfully auctioned. You must understand this.”

“I do, I do. I totally understand the league’s sincerity. If I can’t amount to the same level of sincerity, it’s completely my fault. Businesses must always be fair, to you and also to me!” said Yun Yang.

Gu Jiuxiao had remained cold and distant throughout the entire conversation, but he finally spoke up with a reminder to Yun Yang.

“Young Yun… working with the General Commerce League has its assurances but sometimes, it’s also a burden. You have to realize this. The bigger a force and the more it provides, the more is being asked as well and what’s being asked will never be common goods…”

His tone was still icy and his words piercing to the ears, but Yun Yang heard the overtones of concern brimming in his voice.

“I know. I really do. I’ve known it since I began working with the league. When I’m provided with sincerity, I repay with integrity.”

Yun Yang said with a smile, “I shall enter the Spirit’s Grave now. Do keep an eye out for me, elders.”
