Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 536: Chapter 228: Foundation Establishment Bargaining, Danxia Spirit Peak, Langqi Flying Boat, Immortal City Car Racing _2

“Can I ask, what is the typical cultivation level of the law enforcement officers?”

“Not a problem, anyone can easily find this out.”

Shi Lan proudly said, “The current Tianlan Law Enforcement Team is led by my Ice Castle’s Uncle Dan Taijun, who is a late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!”

“Within the team, there are also four true cultivators at the early-stage of Foundation Establishment; they are all the pride of the Seven Sects of Yu Ding!”

“With such a scale of operation, some insignificant mobs would flee at just their sight!”

“Senior, you don’t have to worry about this.”

Luo Chen nodded.

He then fell silent.

Shi Lan couldn’t comprehend. After coming so far, was he still hesitating?

Suddenly,

“Summoning so many experts is a waste.”

“If we handle them ourselves, can the rent be reduced to ten thousand Spirit Stones a year?”

Shi Lan’s mouth gaped open.

A small head, but a big exclamation mark in her mind!

She finally sensed what was wrong earlier.

Turns out, Luo Chen, this true cultivator, had been haggling with her all this while!

Regrettably, she hadn’t realized it, and unwittingly kept lowering the price floor.

Especially the last sentence.

Dispatching a late-stage Great Cultivator and four True Foundation Establishment cultivators may seem to be costly.

This is normal.

Hiring a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator can easily cost thousands or tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, which is quite common in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Not hiring them means not having to pay that amount of Spirit Stones.

But!

They just simply help, and they only need to show off.

About this, there are no high prices to talk about.

“Senior, you are really…”

Shi Lan was on the verge of tears.

“Senior, the price is too low, I must consult my mother-in-law.”

“Hmm, you go ahead!”

Watching Shi Lan rushing out, Luo Chen added with a smile,

“I am genuinely fond of Danxia Peak!”

Visibly, the young girl staggered.

…

Even after leaving the Binglan Palace, Sima Huiniang was still somewhat incredulous.

Looking at Luo Chen’s relaxed and poised profile, she found it strange, and yet seemingly familiar.

The strangeness was because a true cultivator of the Foundation Establishment stage was so good at bargaining.

However, the familiarity was due to her memory of Luo Chen doing the same thing before, more than once.

Back in the Zhenlong Black Market, he was clearly very interested in the Runming Pearl Liquid, but he refrained from bidding.

He then bought it at cost when no one was interested.

Was this an instinct ingrained in his bones?

She couldn’t resist asking.

“From one hundred and fifty thousand to one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. President, you are just too…”

“Too what?” Luo Chen sounded anxious, he couldn’t be too cool, could he?

“Too amazing!”

The woman gave a thumbs up, her eyes filled with admiration.

Luo Chen tensed up, feeling that something was not quite right.

“There’s nothing amazing about it, if you average it out, we’re only reducing the rent by a few hundred Spirit Stones a month.”

“Besides, Danxia peak is just sitting there, Tianlan Immortal City isn’t making any profit from it. When they rent it out cheaply, Tianlan Immortal City is losing out, while Ice Castle is making a profit.”

“They will certainly agree to rent it out.”

Tianlan is losing out, and Ice Castle is making a profit?

Sima Huiniang was deep in thought.

“Alright, let’s go to the Wanbao Pavilion and have a look!”

“Hmm?” Sima Huiniang followed behind him curiously, asking, “We shouldn’t be short of magic tools in the alliance, should we?”

“It’s not that we’re short, but that we have too many.”

She understood!

The Wanbao Pavilion always had the tradition of recycling second-hand magic tools.

And Luo Tian Creed now held an excess of magic tools.

The two of them walked out of the quiet Binglan Palace and the number of people outside began to increase, becoming more and more tumultuous.

From time to time, metal and puppet-driven cars crossed paths.

The hustle and bustle nearby revealed an excitement that they had never seen before in The Great River District.

It seemed like this was the real Immortal Cultivation World.

In the end, the two of them stopped at the foot of a huge tower.

Three huge golden banners were hung outside the building.

Looking at those three giant banners, Luo Chen aspired to reach such heights.

“Is this the symbol of the three Nascent Souls of Tian Fan City?”

“I wonder if my reputation will ever reach the foreign realm.”

…

Once they entered the Wanbao Pavilion,

Due to Luo Chen’s identity as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, a charming attendant was quickly appointed to assist them.

Luo Chen wasn’t hesitant and directly began to inquire about the prices of various Magic Tools.

The answers he received didn’t surprise him.

The prices of Magic Tools were indeed on the rise when sold individually.

In fact, it was even higher than the prices in The Great River District and Taishan District.

As for the prices of recycled second-hand Magic Tools, they caught Luo Chen off guard.

“Not buying anymore?”

“Yes, senior. We stopped buying Magic Tools three years ago.”

This was strange.

He could understand if they suppressed the prices.

But to stop buying altogether, what was the reason?

However, it was their way of doing business, and he had no say in it. He could only feel it was a pity.

Luo Tian Creed, having been through numerous battles, although many Magic Tools were damaged or destroyed,

They always confiscated more than they lost.

He planned to keep a batch of high-quality magic tools and distribute them to the cultivators of the alliance based on their merits.

The remaining Magic Tools would be sold.

In this way, they could also recover some funds.

After leasing Danxia Peak, the liquid assets of Luo Tian Creed instantly dropped from one hundred and thirty thousand to thirty thousand.

If they were to renovate Danxia Peak afterwards, it would undoubtedly require a large amount of expenditure.

If they could deal with it in bulk in the Wanbao Pavilion, even if the price was slightly lower, it would still be acceptable.
