Li Ji'an saw this and couldn't help but smile bitterly; indeed, soone like Qin Henian was not suited for business negotiations, this was clearly heading towards a breakdown.
However, it's not entirely his fault; the other's deanor also seed uninterested in fair trade, which would unsettle even ordinary people.
"Master Qin seems very satisfied?" Master Wang, who had been sitting down quietly, glanced sideways at Qin Henian and asked unhurriedly.
Without waiting for Qin Henian to respond, he followed up with, "True Man Fu will be returning from the north soon, and when he learns of your collaboration with another family, he might et you."
True Man Fu, the current Sect Guardian Elder of the Fiery Sun Sect, a Mid-stage True Core True Man, one of the pinnacle individuals in the Celestial Cyan Domain.
Qin Henian's laughter gradually faded, his expression slightly unnatural; although he could disregard Master Wang, he couldn't ignore the influence of a Mid-stage Core Formation True Man.
"Apologies, Patriarch Fu, you're late; we've already prepared to collaborate with the Si Shui Comrce Association, regrettably turning down the good intentions of the Fu Family." After deliberating for a mont, Qin Henian chose a tactful way to decline.
"Haha~" This ti it was Fu Yuanjiang who chuckled.
"Master Qin, coming from afar, may not be aware; Master Yuxiao of the Si Shui Comrce Association is overwheld with work and may not be able to see Master Qin."
Qin Henian was indifferent, "No need for Patriarch Fu to worry; I have already arranged it. After the feast, I will discuss collaboration details with Master Yuxiao; since Patriarch Fu is so concerned, I can reveal a few particulars afterwards."
Both Fu Yuanjiang and Master Wang slightly trembled their eyelids.
The main thing is Qin Henian's confidence, which genuinely intimidated them.
"Alright, I'll wait for the good news, but if it doesn't work out in the end, Master Qin might collaborate with us, right?" Fu Yuanjiang smiled playfully, showing anticipation.
"Naturally," Qin Henian remained confidently assured.
After finishing his words, the opposite party bid farewell and left.
Only then did Qin Henian's expression suddenly darken.
Qin Songyuan had analyzed the challenges the Qin Family would face in trying to move north, and Qin Henian had heard rumors of the Fu Family's dominance in the Spirit Bamboo market.
But he hadn't expected them to be so domineering.
"Ancestor, if we cannot collaborate with the Si Shui Comrce Association, then…" Qin Chuan was sowhat puzzled at Qin Henian's earlier confidence.
Qin Henian glanced at him sideways, "Collaboration my foot! This Fu Family wolf pup has no intention of letting our Qin Family head north."
"I will strive to et the president of the Si Shui Comrce Association, but if collaboration fails, the Qin Family won't consider moving north for the next three hundred years, we'll stay peacefully in Cangyun State."
Qin Chuan suddenly realized that his ancestor's previous words were all hot air, purely for a chat of rivalry; if Patriarch Songyuan knew, he'd surely be exasperated again.
"Thank you earlier, alright, you may leave now," Qin Henian nodded to Li Ji'an and Yan Qingwan, secretly noting their recent encouragent.
Li Ji'an and Yan Qingwan nodded, then headed out to explore the Immortal City.
------------
"Master Wang, is there a possibility for the Qin Family to collaborate with Master Yuxiao?" Back at the Fu Family's shop in the Immortal City, Fu Yuanjiang was a bit uneasy.
"The Qin Family's Purple Bamboo juniors personally inspected several batches, the quality is superior, much better than our Spiritual Bamboo,"
"If this ti we cannot secure a collaboration with the Si Shui Comrce Association, the annual business worth millions of Spirit Stones will be left onlooked."
Master Wang reassuringly waved his hand, "Relax, I have already liaised with the Comrce Association; not to ntion collaboration, they won't even get a eting.
As long as Qin Henian doesn't et Master Yuxiao, no matter how good the Qin Family's Purple Bamboo is, it won't shake the Fu Family's position with Spiritual Bamboo."
Fu Yuanjiang felt sowhat at ease after hearing this.
anwhile, Li Ji'an and Yan Qingwan strolled through several comrcial streets, gaining a general understanding of the market in this Immortal City.
Compared to the Golden Splendor Immortal City, the products regularly bought and sold in the Celestial River Immortal City were several levels higher.
Second Tier Mid to Late Period Pill dicine, superior Magical Artifact, even Magical Treasure prototypes, and Second Tier Mid-term Talisman were all available for purchase.
However, compared to Qi Cultivation Stage products, Second Tier items remained a minority.
"High price acquisition of Second Tier Talismans, prioritizing offensive and prohibition-breaking types!" Many shops had posted acquisition notices like this outside.
Through subtle inquiries, Li Ji'an discovered the reason.
It's said that a war affecting several Cultivation Domains is about to explode in the Central Region of the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm, where large Cultivation Domains are most nurous.
The Si Shui Comrce Association is also preparing to take a share of the spoils from this turmoil.
While they had no chance with the highest profit pill dicine business, they turned their attention to acquiring second-tier Talismans.
Their ability to publicly post such notices without concern for competition is due to their unique capability in the Celestial Cyan Domain to conduct transactions across several Cultivation Domains.
"Talismans!" Li Ji'an's heart leapt with joy. Over the years, as his Talisman Art improved, he had accumulated many ordinary Talismans from practice, and a boxful of discarded trump cards. Besides coming to source materials for the Crystal Condensing Pill, he also wanted to see if he could sell off the Talismans.
He instantly perked up!
anwhile, Qin Henian and Qin Chuan had also learned of this news, understanding that the Si Shui Comrce Association, in addition to acquiring finished Talismans, was also seeking long-term high-quality Talisman Materials, starting from Second Tier.
"No wonder the Fu Family is so vigilant this ti!" Qin Chuan quickly grasped Fu Family's intentions.
Indeed, this opportunity is enormous for suppliers of Spirit Bamboo and Spirit Wood Talisman Materials.
If genuinely able to secure collaboration with the Si Shui Comrce Association, there'd be approximately one million Spirit Stone business annually.
Once the Cultivation war begins, it won't be sothing that ends in just a year or two.
Such a large-scale business is enough to foster a True Pill Master for any power!
Qin Henian's expression suddenly grew solemn.
"I've truly been foolish, how couldn't I bring Song Yuan along?"
"Chuan'Er, you must do everything you can to et the president of the Si Shui Comrce Association this ti; it concerns your future, the future of the Qin Family, and if succeeded, the clan will secure Core Formation Spirit Treasure for you, you must achieve True Pill!"
