Chapter 1705
Huge Amount
Now that the price has been agreed upon, the next step is to determine how many purified lotus seeds Li Zhirui can provide, especially the quantity of lotus seeds of each grade.
Therefore, Hai Zang asked, "How many lotus seeds do you intend to sell?"
Li Zhirui really needs to think about this problem carefully, because giving too few won't have much effect, but he doesn't have many lotus seeds available at the moment.
After all, it had only been a little over a month since the last purification of the Yin and Evil Land, and the reserves he had accumulated in the past had long been used up.
In addition, during this period, he did not require the demons to use spirit crystals to stimulate the growth and purification of the white lotus, so the number of lotus seeds could not be too large.
"I can now produce 30,000 purified lotus seeds, including 50 Celestial Immortal grade seeds and 2,000 Earth Immortal grade seeds..."
The most numerous are naturally the lotus seeds of the Loose Immortal level, accounting for more than 80%.
However, even if he had 30,000 lotus seeds, he couldn't produce them right now.
Hai Cang did not speak immediately, but calculated the price of this batch of spiritual items in his mind, and soon came up with an astronomical figure that was quite shocking.
If others knew that he, a Xuanxian cultivator, actually possessed such a large fortune, he would probably be unable to live in peace for a long time to come, and some Taiyi Jinxian might even be tempted.
However, having seen much of the world, he wasn't too concerned about this. Instead, he asked a crucial question: "Do you think 30,000 purifying lotus seeds can resolve that evil place?"
"This one……"
Li Zhirui frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "I don't know the current situation of this evil place, so I can't give an accurate answer."
But according to his estimate, it shouldn't be too far off, because the evil place he purified before only cost him more than 20,000 purification lotus seeds.
Of course, his own role was also very important.
However, he believed that with the Immortal Alliance's resources, they could find a few cultivators who practiced the Purification Law, who could completely replace his role.
So this is 10,000 more purified lotus seeds than before, which should be enough to solve the problem.
"Then you should take a good look at the situation of this sinister place located in the Lingxiao Mountains." With that, Hai Cang handed over a jade slip.
Clearly, knowing the situation of the two sinister places, he felt that things were not so simple.
"It's free, right?" These words came out of Li Zhirui's head completely unconsciously.
Haicang said with amusement, "Don't worry, it's free."
He himself didn't feel embarrassed at all, after all, the information from the Qianji Pavilion was not cheap, and he was naturally unwilling to spend the spirit crystals. He immediately picked up the jade slip and began to examine it.
Soon, Li Zhirui withdrew his divine sense. After comparing the contents with his own experience, he realized that the newly discovered evil land was not only larger in area, but more importantly, the evil spirits there were of a higher grade.
This means that purification will be more difficult!
Although he couldn't give a precise answer because he hadn't conducted an on-site investigation, it's safe to say that the 30,000 purified lotus seeds he had prepared were most likely insufficient.
"If the intelligence is correct, then the 30,000 lotus seeds I mentioned earlier should not be enough to solve the problem."
After a pause, Li Zhirui added, "But I can't produce that many lotus seeds right now; I need some more time to prepare."
"It doesn't matter, because Qianji Pavilion also needs to prepare spiritual items and spiritual crystals," Hai Cang said nonchalantly.
Although Qianji Pavilion is a large and powerful organization with a deep foundation, this place is just a branch of theirs, at most slightly more important than other places.
However, it's still impossible to come up with a huge sum of spirit crystals all at once.
Moreover, this matter needs to be discussed with the Immortal Alliance to see if they are willing to buy. If not, Qianji Pavilion will not be able to buy so many lotus seeds.
After all, there's no need for it, and they don't have any demand for it. At most, they might buy a few thousand purification lotus seeds, either to decorate their storefront or to enrich the variety of spiritual items.
Hai Zang truthfully told Li Zhirui about these issues.
But this made him hesitate, because if the Immortal Alliance didn't need many lotus seeds, and the Qianji Pavilion wouldn't buy them, wouldn't all the large number of lotus seeds he had spent spirit crystals to cultivate be wasted?
It's important to know that producing a large number of lotus seeds in a short period of time would definitely consume a lot of spirit crystals.
If he can't sell them, he'll lose a fortune!
"Senior, could you please inquire with the Immortal Alliance now whether they need to purchase a large quantity of Purification Lotus Seeds? If the quantity is not too large, I have some left that might be enough to meet their needs."
After thinking about it, Li Zhirui decided that in order to avoid spending too much money, it would be better to ask in advance.
"Yes, your concerns are valid."
Hai Cang nodded without refusing, but said, "But you'll have to pay for contacting the Immortal Alliance."
"it is good."
Li Zhirui wasn't too concerned, because he could easily put that expense into buying purified lotus seeds; after all, he himself wouldn't be spending those spirit crystals.
Hai Zang took out a specially made array plate, placed a jade talisman on it, and consumed twelve spirit crystals. Immediately, a spatial fluctuation appeared, and the jade talisman disappeared in the next instant.
"If you don't get a reply right away, please wait patiently for a while."
"it is good."
Li Zhirui responded and, to pass the time, took out a newly acquired pill formula and studied it briefly.
……
at the same time.
In Changming Immortal City, Taiji, the head of Qianji Pavilion, received the news.
Upon seeing the contents, he immediately got up and rushed towards the city lord's mansion.
Although the Qianji Pavilion is a neutral intelligence organization within the Immortal Alliance, it is natural that they would also contribute to the survival and development of the Immortal Alliance within its territory, in the face of any danger that threatens the Alliance's existence.
Soon, he arrived at the city lord's mansion.
To deal with that dangerous, strange, and sinister place, the Immortal Alliance has dispatched several Taiyi Golden Immortals to oversee it. They are also the decision-makers in the city, and not everyone is qualified to meet them.
Because Taiji claimed to have very important intelligence from Qianji Pavilion, he was quickly summoned by the three Taiyi.
"What important intelligence do you have?" Before he could even finish bowing, one of the Taiyi masters asked directly.
He didn't waste any words, directly handed over the jade talisman that Hai Cang had given him, and then stood quietly in place, waiting for their reply.
The jade talisman contained little information; it simply stated that the cultivators who had previously dealt with the Yin-Yang Land had come to the Qianji Pavilion, intending to cooperate with them to sell their purified lotus seeds, along with the prices of lotus seeds of various grades.
In addition, it was mentioned that this Xuanxian cultivator, having reached a crucial moment in his cultivation, did not wish to travel long distances, participate in battles, or delay his own cultivation.
"According to them, at least 40,000 to 50,000 lotus seeds are needed to resolve the Yin-evil land. It seems like they are offering a discount, but if you add it all up, the price is still too expensive."
Most importantly, there is no reliable guarantee! If they spend a lot of spirit crystals to buy purifying lotus seeds, but still fail, wouldn't all the spirit crystals they spent be wasted?
“But now, facing the invasion of the Yin and Evil Lands, we are powerless to stop it. At most, we can only slow down the invasion. The total cost is far more expensive than buying these tens of thousands of lotus seeds,” another Taiyi said, expressing his support.
The two did not engage in a confrontational argument. It would be undignified for them to do such a thing, given their status, and besides, they were not the ones who could truly make the decision.
In a sense, the two even put on a show with perfect coordination.
"Is there no way to invite that Xuanxian cultivator over?" The Taiyi in the middle didn't talk about whether or not to buy lotus seeds, but asked another question.
It's no wonder he acted this way; the dozen or so cultivators gathered by the Immortal Alliance to practice the Purification Law were all quite ordinary in terms of cultivation level and realm!
The highest level among them was only a Celestial Immortal.
From any perspective, Li Zhirui is the most suitable candidate.
Taiji shook his head and said, "The jade talisman sent by Haizang clearly states that the other party will not come."
To be honest, he didn't understand why the other party would make such a decision. Obviously, coming in person would only bring benefits, aside from the potential dangers. Why would they refuse?
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, as long as he relays the information truthfully.
"Alas! What a pity." The Taiyi in the middle sighed with regret.
As for forcing them? He doesn't even know where the other party is. If he really did that, it would only make the other party hide.
"Our Immortal Alliance will take all of these purified lotus seeds, but could you please help us send a letter over?"
After thinking for a moment, Taiji decided to give this Taiyi Golden Immortal face and said, "No problem."
Soon, he obtained a jade slip, but he had no interest in its contents and directly sent it to Hai Cang.
……
the other side.
Li Zhirui and Hai Zang, who had been waiting for a reply, finally received a definite answer.
"The other party is planning to buy 50,000 purified lotus seeds. You're going to become rich overnight!" he joked with a smile.
"However, besides that, they have another request. They hope you can write down in detail the process, methods, and insights of purifying the evil land, as a way of guiding them from afar."
"no problem!"
Li Zhirui naturally didn't care about such trivial matters. He was now preoccupied with the enormous amount of spirit crystals and when they would finally fall into his hands.
"The other party has already paid for 20,000 lotus seeds. How many lotus seeds can you offer for the transaction now?" Hai Zang asked.
He quickly counted the purified lotus seeds in his hand with his divine sense and said, "There are only 15,000 seeds, including 50 Heavenly Immortal-grade seeds and 1,300 Earthly Immortal-grade seeds..."
"Fortunately, the pavilion has enough spirit crystals to complete this transaction, so there is no need to draw them from other branch pavilions."
The two quickly completed the transaction.
"The remaining lotus seeds should arrive in about ten days," Li Zhirui said.
Actually, it wouldn't take that long; a day or two would be more than enough. But to avoid suspicion, we still need to put on a show.
“Okay.” Hai Zang nodded, not seeing any problem with it.
In his view, Li Zhirui was likely backed by a hidden sect or some special force, so he didn't think much of it.
He then recorded all his methods, processes, and thoughts on purifying the Yin and Evil Land, and sent them to the distant Changming Immortal City through the small teleportation array in Hai Cang's hands.
"Time is of the essence, I must go first."
After completing the transaction with Qianji Pavilion, Li Zhirui suddenly remembered that his initial purpose was to relax, but he did not expect to unintentionally complete a huge transaction.
As for now? Of course, he has to leave the Immortal City quickly, put on a show, and come back in ten days!
As Li Zhirui passed by the notice board, he glanced at it casually and suddenly felt that it looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he realized that his previous disguise was also pasted on his body, and in the very center, in the largest area, taking up almost 30% of the page.
At first, he thought that his identity as an extraterrestrial being had been exposed, which was why the Immortal Alliance had issued a bounty, and he was greatly alarmed.
But after careful examination, they realized that they had no choice but to resort to this tactic because they couldn't find his whereabouts at all. They hoped that he would see this and then go to Changming Immortal City to help.
Of course, the Immortal Alliance offered extremely generous terms, including Golden Immortal-level cultivation techniques and precious spiritual items; as long as he went, all of these would be his.
"Ha ha……"
Li Zhirui shook his head with a cold laugh. He was not a being of this realm and had no feelings for the Myriad Profound Realm. If it weren't for gaining merit, he wouldn't have made a move in the first place.
As for the conditions offered by the Immortal Alliance? To be honest, he had already looked down on them before, let alone now.
He didn't linger for long and quickly left the Immortal City. He randomly chose a direction and sped away, only stopping when he was thousands of miles away from the Immortal City.
After confirming that there were no living beings nearby, he immediately entered the spatial realm and disappeared into thin air.
"Over the next few days, please do your best to promote the growth and purification of the lotus seeds. Don't worry about the consumption of spirit crystals!" Li Zhirui gave the order to the demon spirits after entering the space.
Then he told them the required quantity of lotus seeds of each grade.
"Rest assured, sir, we will definitely complete the mission!" The demons were still working very hard.
"Thanks for your hard work."
……
at the same time.
Lingxiao Mountains, Changming City.
The once prosperous immortal city became much quieter due to a sudden war.
This apparent quietness does not refer to a decrease in the number of cultivators. On the contrary, in order to cope with the increasingly serious war, cultivators from all over the Immortal Alliance are rapidly pouring in. It refers to the fact that the normal activities of cultivators are declining rapidly!
To avoid the great battle, many cultivators have already fled this place.
However, many cultivators also came to this place for the sake of the great battle.
However, the latter was not voluntary; it was a conscription launched by the Immortal Alliance to deal with the great war.
In the eyes of these conscripted cultivators, they were nothing more than cannon fodder sent to their deaths. (End of Chapter)
