Chapter 40: Transaction Price
Ghost Daozi and Chiyou could think of reasons why no one noticed them, as well as the powerful anomalies surrounding Zhuo and the others, but they could not fathom why Yan was able to perceive them.
The two awakened almost simultaneously, and then Ghost Daozi looked at Yan and asked, "So you must have prepared a large amount of Spirit Coins for our transaction, right?"
Leaving Yin City meant they could not disclose its secrets to anyone from Yin-Yang City. Transactions were nearly impossible, and even if they could trade, it would only be with the Three Major Troops within the Imperial City.
This was a decision made collectively by the Nine Districts and the Nine Great Powers.
In the past, they might have had their own reasons, but now they realized they had been deceived.
Although they did not know how Zhuo and the others obtained Spirit Coins, they were certain that before making their decision, Zhuo's group had prepared enough Spirit Coins or had stable and secretive channels for acquiring them.
Now, even though they had not begun their cultivation, they understood the importance of this secret. If they could enhance themselves without being discovered, it would surely yield unexpected results in the future.
Thus, if they wanted to acquire Spirit Coins, the best way was to obtain them from Yan. They also believed that this was Yan's strategy to gain substantial benefits from both of them in the long run.
However, as long as the price was right, they did not mind.
Yan nodded and shook his head, speaking half-truths: "Diamond Spirit Coins are extremely difficult to obtain; I had stored quite a few White Spirit Coins before coming to Yin City."
"Alright! How do we trade?" Chiyou waved his hand. He didn't need to verify Yan's statement; after all, Spirit minds were complex.
Yan then nodded and said, "Previously, I wanted to know about the Demon Realm and Ghost River. Can you provide me with that information? And Chiyou, could you tell me some principles about totems? For this, I am willing to offer both of you one billion White Spirit Coins."
"As for future transactions, it will be one hundred million White Spirit Coins in exchange for ten thousand Supreme Soul Coins."
"Supreme Soul Coins are rare, and I believe you are aware of that. They can be exchanged for High-Grade Soul Currency," Chiyou waved his hand, leaving no room for doubt.
In response, Yan remained silent.
His intentions had become quite clear: he wanted a large number of Supreme Soul Coins to quickly elevate his realm and strength, then leave Yin Yang City to rescue a close relative from the Demon Realm and Ghost River.
Chiyou's firm opposition to the transaction stemmed from the undeniable rarity of Supreme Soul Coins, as well as a healthy skepticism regarding Yan's obvious intentions.
After all, it was impossible for two people meeting for the first time to fully trust Yan's words. If they were that naive, they would have likely fallen victim to Human Slaves or even been killed long ago.
After a moment of silence, Yan suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Let's trade with Supreme Soul Coins within two hundred million. After that, we'll switch to Nine Extremes One."
This meant they would first trade two hundred million Supreme Soul Coins with Yan, and subsequent transactions would be one hundred million White Spirit Coins in exchange for one thousand Supreme Soul Coins, with the remainder paid in High-Grade Soul Currency.
"Haha! Isn't that price a bit outrageous?"
Yan's level of compromise was acceptable to both of them; now it was time to negotiate the price.
The market price in Yin City was ten thousand Superior Spirit Coins for one High-Grade Soul Currency. By this calculation, one hundred million Superior Spirit Coins could only be considered equivalent to one Supreme Soul Coin. This was still a calculated price; in reality, one could hardly obtain a single Supreme Soul Coin for a million High-Grade Soul Currencies.
This indicated that Yan's asking price represented nearly ten million times the profit.
If it weren't for the fact that the two were among the Nine Major Regions, possessing remarkable insight and demeanor, anyone else would have drowned Yan in their spittle over such an outrageous demand.
However, they had already fallen into the trap set by the four cursed individuals, leaving them unable to find a way to obtain Spirit Coins.
If they were to acquire new Spirit Coins within Yin City, the quantity would be limited and unstable. Moreover, if they traded with the Three Major Troops of the Imperial City, it could easily attract the attention of the cursed ones.
In such a scenario, the cursed individuals would no longer hold back, allowing their subordinates to cultivate using Soul Currency or directly attacking them to eliminate any potential threats. There could be other situations as well, but for the two of them, it would be entirely detrimental with no benefits.
This was one of the reasons why they did not simply turn and walk away.
For this reason, Yan did not show even a hint of embarrassment or shame. Instead, he pondered for a moment before asking, "What if I could provide you both with Diamond Spirit Coins?"
The two did not respond but instead gazed deeply at Lian Yun. The spirits of Yin City could still obtain White Spirit Coins from the Three Major Troops of the Imperial City, but they could not acquire Diamond Spirit Coins.
Diamond Spirit Coins were exclusive currency for the human race in Yin-Yang City, just as Soul Currency was exclusive to Yin City.
If Yan could obtain Diamond Spirit Coins himself, it would indeed be intriguing.
However, Yan's expression remained calm and unperturbed; he showed no signs of fear. Setting aside any ambitions to strengthen the Huaxia forces, he believed that the mutual benefits of their trade would prevent either party from turning hostile.
"If you have Diamond Spirit Coins, one coin can be exchanged for one hundred Supreme Soul Coins. One hundred million High-Quality Soul Coins can also be exchanged for one hundred. I can initially provide you with two million," Chiyou stated firmly.
Based on this pricing, Lian Yun would need to provide two hundred trillion Superior Spirit Coins to obtain two million Supreme Soul Coins or exchange twenty thousand Diamond Spirit Coins for two million Supreme Soul Coins.
This pricing still offered Yan significant profits. However, Chiyou's intention was for Yan to primarily trade in Diamond Spirit Coins.
Two hundred trillion White Spirit Coins was an astronomical amount. It was known that the Xianjian Sect had struggled over a mountain sealing price of thirty trillion not long ago. Even with Lian Yun's capabilities, gathering such a sum would be exceedingly difficult.
However, in comparison, two hundred trillion White Spirit Coins could definitely be exchanged for over two hundred thousand Diamond Spirit Coins.
This was similar to Chiyou forcing Yan to obtain Diamond Spirit Coins.
Such cunning was truly remarkable. For this reason, Ghost Daozi chose not to say more and calmly watched Yan.
Yet, despite the enormous benefits and the fact that he himself possessed a large amount of Diamond Spirit Coins, he still lowered his head in silence.
Not refuting was giving face to Chiyou, just as he had previously not outright denied the price he had set. Moreover, reducing the ten million-fold reward by a hundred times still represented a profit of around ten million times.
His silence, however, also indicated his dissatisfaction with the price.
After nearly ten minutes of stalemate, Ghost Daozi finally spoke: "Perhaps you have your difficulties, but we are not without ways to obtain Spirit Coins. We just want to keep a low profile for a while. Furthermore, at our level, White Spirit Coins are nearly useless; only Diamond Spirit Coins can replenish what we previously lacked."
"How about this: one Diamond Spirit Coin in exchange for two hundred Supreme Soul Coins, and one hundred million White Spirit Coins for one hundred and ten Supreme Soul Coins."
This indicated that Ghost Daozi indeed valued Diamond Spirit Coins more. However, by actively proposing this deal, it also meant that this price was not his bottom line; his words and offer were a test—a way to probe whether Lian Yun was truly pressed for time and wanted to leave Yin Yang City sooner.
