I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Therefore, I am willing to take a gamble and wish to place my bet on you, fellow Daoist.

I bet that after you establish your Foundation, you will quickly reveal your strength and stand out.

Even if not as extraordinary as those sect prodigies or direct disciples, you will definitely not be inferior to the Workshop Master of Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, Ye Yanshu.

You will be the second existence on the level of Ye Yanshu within the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace."

"The second existence on the level of Ye Yanshu?"

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Since when did Ye Yanshu become a term of measurement for comparison?

However, one must admit, Ye Yanshu is indeed a first-rate existence apart from the sect’s direct disciples.

After Foundation Establishment, he cultivated his Foundation Establishment True Body early and was labeled as one of the Eight Foundation Establishment Realms of the Li Fire Domain fifty years ago. Now, not only has his cultivation reached the Eighth Level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but it is also said he is cultivating a formidable Minor Divine Technique... His true strength must be astonishingly powerful.

It is quite normal for him to be revered and used for comparison.

In some sense, the other person’s words are already a high opinion.

After all, among tens of thousands of cultivators in Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, only such a one as Ye Yanshu has emerged.

Moreover, the other party is known as one of the few cultivators most likely to advance to the Core Formation Realm within thirty years in the Li Fire Domain, an absolute powerhouse.

In terms of strength, background, potential—every aspect, Ye Yanshu is extremely formidable.

However, Zhou Changwang never compares himself to others.

He is who he is, a different Yanhua.

Therefore, instead of responding directly, he said: "One million two hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

I only have nine hundred thousand here, can I use other things to offset the remainder?"

"Of course.

Your Spirit Talismans are indeed very popular.

If you are willing to use the Sealing Thunder Talisman and Summoning Talisman as offsets, we can accept that too.

Then let’s do it this way, since you don’t want to accept our invitation, how about accepting our reservation for Spirit Talismans?

Total valued at a million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

The thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones will be the deposit for the million-order.

You only need to deliver the ordered Spirit Talismans on time as per the agreement.

Though, because thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones is not a small amount, we need to sign a Blood Contract with you.

With blood as the pact, if violated or if the order is not completed on time, then double compensation for the loss is required.

If by the designated time, the Blood Contract has not been lifted, it will automatically trigger a backlash. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Feng Xue quickly chimed in.

These words nearly revealed Zhou Changwang’s identity as that ’Ascendant Feng Hua.’

Zhou Changwang was indifferent to this since he already knew the other party had guessed his identity.

Previously, they didn’t expose his identity and continued to do business with him, so naturally, they wouldn’t expose it this time either.

Thus, he pondered slightly and asked: "What is the time limit?"

"Also, my fellow Daoist, don’t forget that Ascendant Feng Hua is still under a bounty by Young Master Ye. Publicly cooperating with him might not look good when held accountable later."

Immediately, Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but remind.

"You do not need to worry about this.

Isn’t it true that no one outside knows about our transaction? Even if Young Master Ye knows, I am not afraid at all.

Do you know, why my Black Market has remained safe and sound all these years while the Ye Family remains inactive?

Moreover, aside from being the head of the Black Market, I am also a member of the Cyan Leaf Alliance.

And the Cyan Leaf Alliance’s influence is not only in Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, far beyond just the Li Fire Domain.

If selling it here doesn’t work, I naturally have means to place it in other regions for sale, it can never incur a loss."

Feng Xue said with a slight smile, "As for the deadline, let’s say three years.

However, a batch of Spirit Talismans must be delivered each year, how about that?"

"A million-order in a span of three years, I see no problem!"

Zhou Changwang smiled slightly and agreed to the arrangement.

The Blood Contract may sound severe, but as long as the order is completed within the stipulated time, the contract dissolves and naturally loses effect.

Three years’ time is ample for Zhou Changwang.

In fact, given his speed in Talisman Making, he could finish the order worth a million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones within half a year, possibly even within just three months.

Subsequently, the two parties completed the Blood Contract signing in the concealed room, in duplicate.

Zhou Changwang kept one copy, Feng Xue kept the other.

If either party breached the contract, it would serve as a leverage tool.

In this way, it could restrain both parties.

Thus, Zhou Changwang finally stepped out of the Black Market.

With his current strength, he needn’t worry about typical cultivators tracing him, and very few short-sighted cultivators would target a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivator.

Therefore, he smoothly returned to the Little Peak Mountain Spirit Land.

"This trip to the Black Market truly wasn’t in vain.

Not only did I acquire the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula smoothly, but I also exchanged enough Demon Pills.

I believe, soon, I’ll be able to fully cultivate those Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects within my Spirit Field."

Zhou Changwang stood in the courtyard, looking at the acre of Spirit Field before him.

There are still seventeen Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects inside.

Additionally, there are more than ten Third-Grade Spirit Plants, whose value, though not as precious as the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, also serve as main ingredients for some rare Spirit Pills.

If matured, each plant could easily sell for tens of thousands of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Zhou Changwang temporarily had no intention to expedite their growth through time concoction; he only conducted daily routine cultivation. Estimating, in a short period of a year, or a long period of five years, he would have a satisfying harvest.
