Chapter 155: Chapter 138: Mountain Moving Ape, Class II Spirit Plant_2

He then politely said, “Brother Zhang, I won’t lie to you. I need this Spirit Valley Bran and Spirit Wheat Bran, and I will buy them regularly. What are your asking prices?”

“Hehe, these things aren’t really worth much.”

Zhang Qingniu’s simple face showed nonchalance, “I can produce thirty-four thousand jin of Spirit Valley Bran each month. How about a lower-grade Spirit Stone for fifty jin?”

Hearing this price, Wang Ba couldn’t refrain from squinting his eyes.

He inwardly grumbled:

“Looks can be deceiving! This Brother Zhang is not as simple as he appears.”

In the past, the chicken feed that Yu Changchun provided was only sixty-seven thousand jin a month, yet it only cost him three Spirit Chickens each month.

If he calculated based on the market price, a lower-grade Spirit Stone could buy five to six thousand jin of Spirit Valley Bran.

Even if this Spirit Valley Bran was processed from lower-grade Class I spirit rice, it couldn’t compare with lower-grade Class 11 Spirit Valley Bran.

But the price disparity shouldn’t be nearly a thousand times.

Moreover, apart from feeding chickens, there’s almost no other large-scale use for Spirit Valley Bran. No one else would buy it except for him as he runs a chicken farm.

It seems akin to price gouging based on knowing that Wang Ba needs Spirit Valley Bran.

However, Wang Ba was not so easily taken advantage of.

Although he was wary of Zhang’s status as a cultivator within the sect, he wasn’t going to let himself be fleeced. He chuckled, made a salute with his hand, and said,

“Apologies for the disturbance.”

Then he turned and began to leave with Bu Chan.

“Hold on!”

He hadn’t taken more than a few steps before he heard Zhang Qingniu’s voice.

Wang Ba pretended not to hear, until Zhang could no longer hold back and flew directly in front of Wang Ba.

“Brother Wang, why are you leaving without discussing the price further?”

Zhang Qingniu couldn’t help but ask.

His forehead furrowed in consternation.

Wang Ba laughed and said:

“In that case, let’s talk.”

“No one usually buys this Spirit Valley Bran, and it would be quite a hassle to dispose of it. How about 1 give you fifty Spirit Stones per month, or ten lower-grade Spirit Chickens, for thirty-four thousand jin of Spirit Valley Bran and Spirit Wheat Bran?”

“Only fifty?”

Zhang Qingniu looked clearly disappointed, “Lower-grade Spirit Chickens aren’t that useful to me.”

“Well, you can’t say that, is the Spirit Valley Bran any more useful to you?”

Wang Ba laughed lightly, “You can weigh it yourself. If you decide, you can let me know. But I can’t wait too long, several other friends are waiting for me.” “Are you referring to Liu Zhiyuan and Gao Yuxuan?”

Zhang Qingniu suddenly asked.

Wang Ba was surprised and looked at Zhang Qingniu, then nodded his head.

Zhang Qingniu immediately decided:

“You don’t need to find them. I’ll trade with you, and we ll use Spirit Chickens for the trade.”

Fifty lower-grade Spirit Stones may not mean much to Foundation Establishment Competitors like them. One acre of spirit field produces more spirit rice than that.

On the contrary, even though the Spirit Chickens are only of lower grade, they are still scarce in Jiantao Station. They could be kept for personal consumption or as gifts.

Naturally, the main reason for his readiness to negotiate was that Spirit Valley Bran was of no use and even a nuisance to them.

Immediately, Wang Ba and Zhang Qingniu made an agreement to settle once per month and exchange goods for goods.

They completed the first transaction on the spot. Wang Ba handed over ten Spirit Chickens in exchange for several storage bags full of Spirit Valley Bran and Spirit Wheat Bran.

For Wang Ba, this was actually a good thing. Although he currently had no shortage of spirit stones, his capability to earn more was gradually retreating due to the sluggish sales of the Spirit Chickens.

Being able to replace them with Spirit Chickens that have very low costs was the best-case scenario.

However, after reaching an agreement, Wang Ba did not rush to leave, but started to discuss another deal with Zhang Qingniu.

“You want to buy my spirit rice seeds?”

Zhang Qingniu was somewhat surprised but he shook his head vigorously at once, “No, no! That’s impossible!”

Seeing Wang Ba’s seemingly innocent expression, Zhang Qingniu hesitated for a moment before explaining:

“Don’t you know? To cultivate these Class II spirit rice seeds, you need a corresponding cultivation method. This method often involves the essential skills of a Spirit Plant Master. You are lucky that 1 am a tolerant person. If you dared ask Liu Zhiyuan and the others, even if they wouldn’t kill you, you’d still end up grossly disadvantaged.”

Upon hearing this, both Wang Ba and Bu Chan were taken aback.

Wang Ba was completely ignorant, while Bu Chan had not yet managed to understand many of the higher level secrets and rules because she hadn’t been in the East Saint Sect for very long. The East Saint Sect ceased to exist before she had time to learn much. She naturally had only a vague idea.

But Wang Ba also realized he had been inappropriate.

Recklessly probing into the secrets of a cultivator was taboo no matter where it occurred.

Having realized this, Wang Ba had to give up.

Zhang Qingniu glanced at Wang Ba and Bu Chan, then suddenly spoke: “However, other than this spirit rice which is a bit special, most of the other Class II spirit plants can be traded freely.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba felt a stir in his heart.

“Do you mean…”

“I have a Class II Spirit Gourd Vine here. If you can afford the price, I can trade it with you.”

Zhang Qingniu’s smile was full of friendliness.

Although Wang Ba knew that Zhang Qingniu would not offer it cheaply, he still couldn’t help but ask the price.

Once Zhang Qingniu named his price, he started with an excessively high offer of 150 middle-grade spirit stones.

After some bargaining, Wang Ba managed to get it for 70 middle-grade spirit stones and 50 middle-grade Spirit Chickens.

“You are really good at bargaining!”

The expression on Zhang Qingniu’s face suggested dissatisfication.

Wang Ba smiled without saying anything. Anything he would say at this point would only make the other party feel like he was gloating at his benefit.

After leaving Zhang Qingniu’s place, the two visited other places. However, compared with the Mountain Moving Ape and Class II Spirit Gourd Vine, the gains were not significant.

Upon returning to the chicken farm, Bu Chan immediately planted the Spirit Gourd Vine.

At the same time, she spent a few middle-grade spirit stones, inviting a spiritual lineage master to gather the surrounding spiritual lines, thus creating a spirit field.

Next, she planted the Class 1 top-grade spirit rice seeds which she had bought from the market.

She was kept incredibly busy.

On the other hand, after handing over the chicken feed to the Human Puppet, Wang Ba put the Spirit Beast Collar on the Mountain Moving Ape, and then let it wander around the chicken farm.

This small ape was quite intelligent, only taking Jia 12’s stake and sitting on it alone. Other than jumping down when Wang Ba brought food, it was usually sitting on the stake, close-eyed, almost like an old monk in meditation.

It amazed both Wang Ba and Bu Chan.

Apart from occasionally assisting Bu Chan with the spirit field, Wang Ba then went to Lingshui Courtyard for cultivation. Gradually, the mana inside his body was moving towards its peak. The breakthrough to Stage IX of Qi Refining was getting closer.

One day, he suddenly received a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Upon opening it, he discovered that it was from the Yan cultivator who had been visiting frequently in the past.

However, the content of the talisman left Wang Ba somewhat puzzled.

“He is inviting me to his Foundation Establishment party?”

“He’s already reached the Foundation Establishment stage?”
