Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16573

16571. Chapter 16571 Conditions

Lingfeng’s words were quite clear: we are counting on this kind of spatial equipment to help us exchange for resources to build our own divine kingdom. If you ask us to hand over the spatial equipment, we will have no way to survive. So we can hand it over, but you have to give us some compensation.

The bearded man looked at Lingfeng and said, “Of course we won’t force you into a corner. You can make any requests you have, and we’ll offer you some compensation.”

Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. The other party had agreed, which was good; it meant they could talk. Thinking this, Lingfeng let out a long sigh and said, “Thank you very much, Elder. I won’t stand on ceremony then.”

The bearded man nodded, looking at Lingfeng, waiting for him to state his request. Lingfeng pondered for a moment, then said, “The Elder said that the price of our spatial equipment is too low. How about this: we’ll process it ourselves into spatial equipment and sell it directly to you. We won’t charge much; fifteen cubic meters of soil per piece will suffice. What does the Elder think?”

The bearded man considered Lingfeng’s suggestion. He reasoned that each piece of spatial equipment could fetch at least a hundred cubic meters of soil. Even if they bought it at fifteen cubic meters each, they would still make a large profit. This was feasible.

Thinking of this, the bearded man nodded and said, “Sure, but if anyone brings those magical artifacts here for processing, can you help with that too?”

Lingfeng replied, “We can. They buy the underground palace flower from us, which only requires one cubic meter of soil. After returning home, they can add another three to four cubic meters of soil, completing the basic processing. Then they bring it back to us to refine that magical artifact into spatial equipment, which requires ten cubic meters of soil. So, for each magical artifact, they’ll only get about fifteen cubic meters of soil. If they want us to process their artifacts, we can help, but we’ll completely hand over this business to you. We’ll still only charge ten…” “The processing fee for each cubic meter of soil… as for how much you charge those people, that’s up to you.”

The bearded man thought for a moment, then said, “Okay, are there any other conditions?”

Lingfeng said, “There’s one more condition, actually it’s not really a condition. We want to do some business in the future, buying some things from Buddha City and transporting them to the Black Sea to sell. Of course, the price will be the normal price. We hope to get your permission, Elder.”

The bearded man was slightly taken aback by Lingfeng’s words, because this wasn’t really a condition. Buddha City was a place for business; if Lingfeng and his group could really establish a business route from Buddha City to the Black Sea, they would be overjoyed, so why would they object? So he immediately said, “Sure, of course, buy whatever you want. And anything produced in our Buddha City will get you a 20% discount.”

Lingfeng immediately replied, “Thank you, Elder. These are our two conditions. We will no longer privately take on business dealing in spatial artifacts, but we hope we can continue selling those three kinds of seeds. Is that permissible, Elder?”

The bearded man nodded and said, “Of course, sell whatever you want, as long as you don’t deal in spatial equipment.”

Lingfeng stood up, bowed to the bearded man, and said, “Thank you, Elder.”

The bearded man nodded and then said, “Alright, it’s settled then. Go back and take care of it. Send us all your existing spatial equipment, and we will pay you back according to the price.” Lingfeng

clasped his hands in a fist salute to the bearded man and said, “Yes, we’ll go back and prepare now.” The bearded man nodded, then said, “Someone come here.” With their voices, the bald man who had led Lingfeng into the room earlier entered. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the bearded man and said, “Elder.”

The bearded man nodded, then said to the bald man, “You go with Fellow Daoist Lingfeng to his shop and retrieve all the spatial equipment from there. Pay them fifteen cubic meters of soil per piece. Go.”

The bald man responded, and Lingfeng followed him, bowing to the bearded man before turning and leaving. After the two left the room, the bearded man looked out the door and muttered, “Looks like they anticipated this day. They’re quite clever.” For the bearded man, as long as he could monopolize the sale of spatial equipment, that was enough. He could let Lingfeng and the others make some money. He knew very well that if he pushed Lingfeng and the others too far, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing for them.

Although they didn’t care about Lingfeng and his group, even if they ran away and stopped doing business, it wouldn’t be a loss for them. However, if it really came to that, they would earn much less, which was not what he wanted. Moreover, if Lingfeng and his group hid in the Black Sea, they wouldn’t be able to do anything about them. If Lingfeng and his group grew stronger in the future, it would cause them a lot of headaches. Therefore, he had no intention of pushing Lingfeng and his group to the brink. The current situation was best; they still monopolized the space equipment business, and Lingfeng and his group didn’t suffer any losses. It could be considered a win-win situation. As for those who wanted to buy space equipment at a low price, they were just unlucky. However,

after Lingfeng and his group left, the bearded man still got up and walked out of the room. He walked towards the city center, where there was a temple. The temple wasn’t very big, and there were no Buddhas enshrined in it. Only one person lived in the small temple, namely the Golden Light Buddha.

This small temple consists of only one courtyard and one building. The building is quite unique, as it has only three walls, with no front wall. In the middle of the building, there is a prayer cushion, upon which sits a tall Buddhist figure. He wears ordinary monk’s robes, is bald, sits cross-legged, and has his eyes closed. He is like a stone statue, seemingly without breath or any life force. However, anyone who sees him feels a sense of reverence, as if standing before him is a form of blasphemy.

The bearded man knelt before the monk, his head touching the ground, and said, “My lord, a person has appeared in the Black Sea who can craft spatial artifacts using a certain plant. I have reached a cooperation agreement with him; he will sell the spatial artifacts to us, and we will have the exclusive right to sell them. This will increase the quantity of spatial artifacts. I want to lower the price of these spatial artifacts so that more people can afford them.”

The monk remained silent, and the bearded man continued kneeling there for a while before the monk finally spoke, “Very well.” The bearded man responded, then kowtowed to the monk, stood up, and left the room and courtyard. He closed the door, let out a long sigh, and then walked back home.

He quickly returned to his courtyard. The man who had gone with Ling Feng to retrieve the spatial equipment also returned. He was standing in front of the bearded man’s study. The bearded man immediately opened the study door and went inside. The man followed. The bearded man asked, “How did it go?”

The man immediately bowed and replied, “Reporting to the elder, we retrieved forty spatial rings. I’ve already paid them six hundred cubic meters of soil.”

The bearded man nodded and then asked, “Did they say how many spatial equipment they can refine at most each month?”

The man immediately replied, “They said they can only refine a maximum of twenty spatial equipment per month.”

The bearded man nodded and said, “Good. Take this spatial equipment to our shop. Also, make it clear to them that starting today, the price of spatial equipment will be reduced. Each piece of spatial equipment will be reduced to eighty cubic meters of soil. Smaller pieces of spatial equipment will also be reduced by twenty percent. This has been approved by the master. Go.”

The man responded, then bowed to the bearded man and turned around. After the man left, the bearded man muttered to himself, “Twenty spatial equipment a month, that’s quite a lot.”

Meanwhile, Lingfeng, standing in the shop, said to Songlin, “Perfect timing. Go back tonight and have a proper talk with the magic array about this.”

Songlin nodded and said, “We did a great job this time. To be honest, we really didn’t lose out.”

Lingfeng smiled and said, “Yes, I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. No matter what, we profited this time. However, this matter must be reported…” “We need to tell the magic array.”

Song Lin nodded and said, “Yes, we must tell the magic array. I wonder how things are going on their end.”

Ling Feng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I believe the magic array will handle things in the Black Sea well.”

Song Lin nodded and then said, “Then why don’t we close the gate now and leave the city?”

Ling Feng thought for a moment and then said, “Okay, let’s close the gate then.” After saying that, the two of them closed the gate and put away the Azure Leaf Boat and the inner space magic array. Then they headed out of the city.

The news of their departure was immediately told to Big Beard. Big Beard didn’t care when he heard the news. He had already guessed that Ling Feng and the others would definitely send the news back to the Black Sea, so he wasn’t surprised. Moreover, the price he paid Ling Feng and the others was not low, and they didn’t lose any money. So in Big Beard’s view, there was no reason for Ling Feng and the others not to return, so he wasn’t afraid that Ling Feng and the others would not come back.

After leaving the Buddha City, Lingfeng and the others flew forward for a while before releasing the Azure Leaf Boat. They then used the teleportation array from the boat to return to the Black Sea, level by level, and finally arrived back at the Sky-Supporting Tree.

Upon returning to the Sky-Supporting Tree, they were stunned. They truly hadn’t expected the tree to have changed so much. Just then, Lingzhu arrived at the teleportation array hall and, seeing their condition, said, “Let’s go, the array is waiting for you.” The two responded and followed Lingzhu outside. They then flew up another level before entering their designated space. (End of Chapter)
