Chapter 291 The Importance of Friendship Seeing that Banmei was so happy...
Seeing that Banlan was so happy as if he had discussed it with Hua Xian, Ye Lu thought it over and decided not to get involved in this fake father and son.
"There is another matter. I need your help." Ye Lu turned and asked, "Another matter?"
Banlan stopped smiling and continued to listen to Ye Lu's questions in a gentle and elegant manner. He was always serious about his important customers: "You said--"
Ye Lu said what he wanted: "See if you can help get some strange plant resources, preferably something that can be useful to the growing strange plants."
"It doesn't have to be the remains of strange plants, the kind that catalyze strange plants. Other types of resources are also fine. You should have some, right?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Chongshan. What level do you need? I don't think Qingyou level is enough for you. This kind of resource is very rare in the whole continent. Once it reaches Xueyuan level, the price will be different." Banlan said truthfully: "I have two kinds in my hand. I will send them to you during the next transaction. As for the price..."
Banlan understood the rules of the transaction. Only if he took out what the mountain owners wanted, would the mountain owners trade good things to him next time.
Lord Chongshan? He has only made a few requests to him over the years, so he is considered an easy-to-serve lord? Banlan answered naturally and straightforwardly, and explained the resources in his hands: "One is an earth-type resource above the Blood Grudge level. Sorry, I cannot reveal the name or the specific location of this resource in response to the request of the other party. I can only tell you that this is an earth-type resource above the Blood Grudge level. It can strengthen the roots of the strange plants. It is a very rare resource that works on strange plants."
Ye Lu nodded. The blood-grudge-level earth-related resources were indeed very good. As for not revealing the name, this was quite normal. The Shizhu Village caravan traveled outside all year round and encountered many small forces along the way. Some small forces would find very good resources if they were lucky. In order to prevent being spied on by others, they usually agreed with the caravan to hide the traces of their own forces.
"What about the other one?"
"The other one is a dual-element resource of wood and water." Banlan said, "It's a kind of tree milk, called Green Tree Milk, which is a product of Qingli Village and is also of Blood Grudge Grade. The prices of the two resources are, the former is 100,000 Ghost Pearls per side, and you can't bargain. The latter is a little cheaper, 3,000 Ghost Pearls per drop, and you can bargain. The lowest price is 2,800 per drop, which is also the purchase price of our caravan in Qingli Village."
"Which of the two resources do you want?"
"I want both." Ye Lu said calmly.
After Ye Lu finished speaking, he thought in his heart how many ghost beads he had in his hand. These were the default blood-grudge-level ghost beads. He really didn't have many, but it would definitely be worth it if he used them on the ghost plants. Banlan usually smiled at him and was very serious about the quality of his resources.
The fact that Banlan dared to propose this price means that he thinks it is worth it.
He still has more than 270,000 strange beads in his hand, and he certainly cannot use them all. People in Chongshan are waiting for the strange beads. Ye Lu is also worried that if something unexpected happens along the way, the strange beads will be needed urgently, so he must keep some strange beads in his hand to feel at ease.
"Give me one piece of earth-type resource first. This is a strange plant. Do I have to use one piece? Can I use multiple strange beads at the same time?" Ye Lu asked while ordering food. He felt really painful in his heart. He still remembers taking out the wooden box from his arms and counting the strange beads he could keep. The remaining 200,000 strange beads were placed in the wooden box.
Only when Ye Lu touched the wooden box did he feel a little calmer.
This resource is really expensive.
Of course, Ye Lu would not say that it was not worth it. After all, a Qingxin Peach of his could be sold for hundreds of thousands of strange beads, and there was a high price but no demand for it. But this peach was mined, and there would not be much left no matter how much you used.
"Okay, but the soil used for a strange plant must cover its roots completely, otherwise it will be useless." Banlan began to state the price: "The deposit is 30,000 strange beads. What about the tree milk? This is the tree milk of the ancestral tree of the green plum tree. Only it can produce tree milk above the blood resentment level. It only produces 20 drops every year. How much do you want?"
"Let's start with 30 drops." Ye Lu said after pondering for a moment.
"Okay, how about 84,000 plus our caravan's 1,000 errand fee?" Banlan said bluntly.
"Isn't it too little?" Ye Lu hesitated. In this way, the Colorful Caravan would make almost no profit from a trip here.
"No need. I have already earned back the other shares of strange plants you gave me." Banlan said bluntly, "Not to mention that you gave me another share of strange plants. At present, I only have these two kinds of strange plant resources. If you want other strange plant resources, I can transfer them from other caravans, but the price may not be as cheap as mine."
Banlan really didn't make any money from this resource. He got this resource essentially to build good relationships with his major customers and maintain their trading relationship as much as possible, so what he was talking about was the purchase price.
Of course, the rules of Shizhu Village cannot be broken. Even if he does not make any money, he must get the travel expenses. Merchants in Shizhu Village may not make any money but they cannot lose money.
Banlan can offer the lowest price possible, but other caravans don't have any relationship with Chongshan, so the price will definitely not be cheap. Banlan said it in advance to help Ye Lu get some confidence.
"I understand the rules." Ye Lu nodded. It was impossible for other caravans to offer the lowest price to the Banlan Caravan. It was impossible for them to let the Banlan Caravan lose money.
"Okay, the two strange plant resources are worth a total of 184,000. Please pay a deposit of 84,000 strange beads first. Our caravan will deliver the items to Chongshan at the agreed time. If we don't get the resources, the deposit will be returned."
Ye Lu used his spiritual sense to count out eighty-four thousand of them, put them in a wooden box, and handed it to Banlan.
After taking it, Banlan scanned it with his spiritual sense to confirm that the amount was correct, then he put the wooden box in his arms. No matter how good the relationship between them was, Banlan would not ignore it for the sake of face. These were tens of thousands of Blood Grudge-level Ghost Pearls, and he did not make a penny. If he counted the Ghost Pearls incorrectly, he would have to pay for it. How many Ghost Pearls did his caravan have?
"Okay." After Banlan finished all this, she looked at Ye Lu seriously and said.
The Banlan caravan soon said goodbye. Although Banlan was a little curious about the current state of the Axi bird in Lord Chongshan's hands, he just thought that the awakened bloodline of Axi the Witch was different, and naturally did not think too much about other things.
The colorful caravan soon left the mountains.
The far other side.
Zhu Hui had already left the King's Court of Beasts. He sat on the luggage behind his mount, touching the wooden box containing the strange food in his hand. While stroking the patterns on the surface of the wooden box, he was thinking in his heart how to get the next portion of the strange food that Lord Chongshan wanted.
The hawthorn seed food has been obtained, thanks to Yang Kan's help, otherwise Zhu Hui felt that he might not be able to get it. Even so, Zhu Hui also paid a portion of green pine nuts.
Shandingzi can strengthen wings. There are many tribes with flying abilities in the King's Court of Beasts, and the majority of them have wings. Not to mention that Shandingzi is a strange food of the strange system, and is above the Blood Grudge level. It can be said that Zhu Hui is snatching food from them under the watchful eyes of many tribes.
".......Huh." Zhu Hui thought of the looks of those tribal cunning men when he left. He let out a deep sigh and joked, "Thanks to Yang Kan's current identity protecting us, otherwise we might not be able to get out of the grassland."
Zhu Bai heard this and paused. Then he couldn't help but complain, "Since you know, then you shouldn't be so arrogant on the grassland."
"The hawthorn weird plants will be ripe next year, and you can get them next year. If you insist on taking the agreed share of weird food, those tribal weirdos will definitely dislike you." Anyone who has his food snatched from his mouth will feel bad. To put it bluntly, the weirdos of the Ten Thousand Beasts King's Court have been living with the weird beasts for a long time, and they have some animal nature in them.
"Little cunning warrior Zhu Bai, your caravan leader will teach you one more thing." Zhu Hui sneered at Zhu Bai's words and said calmly, "You must do what you say, especially when a big customer of your signature cunning food makes a request to you. You'd better use all the means at your disposal to meet his request."
When Zhu Hui said the last sentence, his eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment he looked like a wolf. His eyes quickly opened again and returned to his initial nonchalant look.
"Lord Chongshan has provided half of the Weird Food share for our caravan. For the sake of his friendship, what's the point of offending some Weirdos?" Zhu Hui leaned back in the chair at the back slowly, teaching the younger generation: "Those Weirdos can still make the relationship better through Weird Food, but the friendship of big clients cannot be established through just Weird Food. This shows the sincerity of both sides."
After hearing this, Zhu Bai seemed to be thinking about something.
"Then, how do we get the next portion of blood jujubes?" Zhu Bai blinked and asked another question: "Lord Gui Huai, are you not easy to fool or have you figured out a way?"
Zhu Hui's face immediately fell, and he was no longer as carefree as he was at the beginning. In an instant, he seemed to have lost all his bones, and said distressedly: "Not yet."
It would be fine if he didn't talk about this, but as soon as he talked about it, Zhu Hui couldn't help but get a headache.
"Gui Huai has always been smart, and I think he will have to bleed this time."
"Forget it." Zhu Hui rubbed his nose and said, "Let's go take a look first. Gui Huai can't possibly chase us out."
Zhu Bai did not comment on Zhu Hui's words. It's not that he thought Zhu Hui could not do it. He thought Zhu Hui could definitely do it. What he did not comment on was Lord Gui Huai? He would not drive their caravan out of the territory. Zhu Bai thought it was not certain.
If Zhu Hui really angered Lord Guihuai, this powerful man would definitely do it.
Guihuai Mountain is some distance away from the Southern Mountains. Although Guihuai Mountain is very similar to the Ghost Mountain among the Ten Thousand Mountains in the South, they are really two mountains. Guihuai Mountain is not one of the Ten Thousand Mountains in the South, and the Ghost Lord is not those Southern Lords.
On the contrary, Guihuai Mountain is closer to the north, the climate on the mountain is not as humid as in the south, and it is closer to the Wanshouwangting grassland.
The Zhuhui caravan was traveling through the small spaces in the mountains, with the tricksters leading the way in front and the mounted beasts following behind. The Zhuhui, Zhubai, and Zhuluhui all got off the vehicles and guarded the caravan's vehicles until they went around the big mountain in front of them. Suddenly, the view in front of everyone was clear and a high mountain with a dark shadow appeared in the distance. Only then did everyone in the caravan feel relieved.
Guihuai Mountain is right in front of us.
The whole mountain is very eerie, and the most eye-catching thing is a giant tree on the top of the mountain that is shaped like a human hand. The crown of the tree is like a pair of ghost claws extending from the roots towards the cliff.
It is the strange plant cultivated by the Ghost Sophora Lord - the Ghost Claw Sophora.
