"Hahaha! I am Zhang Qing, the shopkeeper of ’Changling Commerce Association.’ May I ask how to address you?"
Soon, accompanied by the attendant, a middle-aged man descended from the upstairs and came to Li Yunjing’s side.
"Wufa Sanren, Li Wutian!"
Li Yunjing replied indifferently, without any expression.
"Daoist Li, please come upstairs? Let’s discuss in detail?"
It was not uncommon to see such a proud cultivator as Li Yunjing. Shopkeeper Zhang Qing still kept a smiling face and gestured for the two to go upstairs to talk.
Li Yunjing nodded. With so many people here, it was indeed not a suitable place for a conversation.
Going to the second floor for a private discussion would reveal how much capital this person had to buy his goods.
Zhang Qing smiled and made a welcoming gesture, leading Li Yunjing towards the second floor.
The layout of the second floor was different from the first floor.
Like most commerce associations, separate reception rooms were used for private one-on-one discussions with customers.
This was the place to discuss big business.
Under Zhang Qing’s guidance, Li Yunjing followed him into a reception room.
Zhang Qing invited Li Yunjing to sit down and brewed tea for him before asking slowly: "Daoist Li, are you by any chance a Talisman Maker?"
"Correct! I am not very skilled! I only have 300 low-grade Tier One Five Elements Spirit Talismans and 200 mid-grade Tier One Five Elements Spirit Talismans to sell. Can your ’Changling Commerce Association’ handle it?"
Li Yunjing didn’t touch the tea on the table and directly stated the quantity he intended to sell.
He had no relation with Zhang Qing, so there was no need for small talk to deepen their relationship.
Zhang Qing was taken aback. Initially, he saw the youthful aura in Li Yunjing, which wasn’t like the settled demeanor of old cultivators.
He thought this was just a young man new to the field.
No matter how talented he was in talisman making, he probably hadn’t made many talismans yet.
Maybe the stack of talismans his attendant mentioned was all he had.
Who knew this person would bring out five hundred pieces? That was not a small number.
Instantly, even the shopkeeper of "Changling Commerce Association" became somewhat flustered.
Li Yunjing pretended to get up and leave.
"Daoist Li, wait! Even if it’s 500 pieces or 5000 pieces, our ’Changling Commerce Association’ can handle it!"
Seeing Li Yunjing about to leave, Zhang Qing panicked.
How could he refuse such a big business?
Seeing Li Yunjing sit down again, Zhang Qing heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Earlier, I lost my composure because I was curious about your level of skill! It wasn’t the quantity of the talismans that startled me."
"I see! Take a look at these then!"
Li Yunjing nodded, showing his understanding.
Not wasting words with Zhang Qing, Li Yunjing directly took out the prepared storage bag and placed the five stacks of talismans on the table, categorized for inspection.
"Good! Let me have a look!"
Zhang Qing was also experienced and examined very quickly. The quality of these talismans met the standards.
After half an hour, the inspection was completed. Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking for a moment, he tentatively said: "Daoist Li, with this quantity, the price cannot be calculated by retail, right?"
More stock meant more capital tied up.
Zhang Qing naturally wanted to make a profit before making a large-scale purchase.
"Understood! Give me a suitable price, Zhang Shopkeeper. If I agree, I’ll sell. If not, I’ll leave without any bargaining!"
Li Yunjing nodded firmly.
"Daoist Li, you are straightforward!"
Zhang Qing smiled wryly.
This Li Wutian seemed hard to deal with. His personality didn’t seem like someone who raised prices on purpose. If the price was too low, this person might really leave!
Five hundred talismans would be enough to sell for two years.
How could Zhang Qing let go of such a fat sheep in front of him?
Thinking this, Zhang Qing fell silent. After a while, he said: "Low-grade Tier One Five Elements Spirit Talismans sell for 5 Spirit Stones each in the market; mid-grade Tier One ones go for 10 Spirit Stones each!"
Saying this, Zhang Qing looked at Li Yunjing to see if he agreed with the price.
Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I’ll buy your low-grade talismans for 4 Spirit Stones each and the mid-grade ones for 8 Spirit Stones each. How about that?"
Li Yunjing nodded. The other party’s profit margin wasn’t too high, so it was acceptable.
This was a one-time transaction, cheaper than retail, so it was normal.
"Alright! Here are your 2800 Low Grade Spirit Stones!"
Li Yunjing was straightforward, and so was Zhang Qing. He directly took out the Spirit Stones from his Hundred Treasures Pouch and piled them on the table, pushing them towards Li Yunjing.
Low Grade Spirit Stones, piled like a small mountain on the table.
Li Yunjing scanned them with his Divine Sense, verifying the quantity, and waved his hand to store the stones in his own Hundred Treasures Pouch.
Now, Li Yunjing had 100 Middle Grade Spirit Stones and 74,800 Low Grade Spirit Stones!
His wealth was already comparable to what a small clan would accumulate over four or five years.
"Do you buy elixirs too?"
Zhang Qing had just put away the talismans, thinking the transaction was over, when he heard Li Yunjing speak again.
That made Zhang Qing stunned, and then delighted, nodding quickly.
He ran a shop, and elixirs were daily consumables for cultivators. The more, the better.
"What quality elixirs? And what kinds?"
Zhang Qing hurriedly put away the talismans and asked quickly.
"1000 Qi Cultivation Pills, 300 Antitoxic Pills, 600 Grain Avoidance Pills!"
Without any hesitation, Li Yunjing continued to list the elixirs he wanted to clear out.
Zhang Qing’s face turned green. What a huge fortune this was?
These elixirs combined probably amounted to over 10,000 Spirit Stones?
Was this Li Wutian trying to empty his wealth?
