Fantasy World: I Can Travel To Cultivation World

Hearing these words, Luis couldn't help but smile.

"It's not me, Miss Luo Li, it's you. No matter how much you take out, that much i can sell."

He though for a moment before taking out a flying sword, "See, i can take out 5 million Spiritual Stones worth of Swords."

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Luo Li's pretty face.

"What's wrong, Miss Luo, is there any problem?"

Seeing her strange expression, Luis acted with concern and asked.

Luo Li shook his head and said, "By the way, We will trade like last time with various Ores? The spiritual stones we prepared this time may not be enough. Can you see if you can use spiritual ore to pay off the debt?"

As he spoke, Luo Li's voice became lower and lower.

"Of course no problem, I wonder what spiritual ores Miss Luo brought?"

Seeing that Luis was not angry, but looked friendly and easy to talk to. Luo Li's fondness for him grew even stronger, and she even felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing Luo Li face turn red, Luis raised his brows.

With a gentle smile, Luo Li parted her lips and sang a melodic tune.

Moments later, one by one, mermen surfaced from the sea—Luo Li's subordinates.

Just like before, each merman held a large white shell in their hands.

The shells were filled with spirit stones, spirit ores, spirit pearls, and other rare treasures.

Turning her back to Luis, Luo Li clapped her hands toward the sea. The mermen lined up in an orderly fashion and simultaneously opened their enormous white shells.

In the next instant, radiant spiritual light burst forth, dazzling everyone.

Looking at the treasures before him, Luis felt his blood surge, his face slightly flushed with excitement.

Find adventures on empire

Seeing his overly eager expression, Luo Li couldn't help but feel a bit smug, her earlier embarrassment now forgotten.

Cheerfully, she began to introduce the items. "This is the Refined Gold we sold last time. Our people have been mining it extensively recently."

Luis followed the direction of her finger and saw fist-sized chunks of Refined Gold piled inside the shells, exuding remarkable spiritual energy.

Luo Li continued, "This is another type of ore we discovered under the sea..."

"Red Copper Ore!"

As a Tier-One spirit ore, red copper was widely distributed across Ten Thousand Star Sea and Guang'an Prefecture, second only to Black Iron Ore.

Finding it in the seabed wasn't particularly surprising to him.

"Yes, red copper ore!" Luo Li nodded. "This ore is one of the raw material for your weapons, right?"

Although the mermen lacked the skills for weapon crafting, their spiritual sensitivity allowed them to recognize valuable ores.

"Correct," Luis replied without hesitation.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Impressed by his honest attitude, Luo Li nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Since this ore is a weapon material, its price should be quite high, right? What do you think it's worth?"

She adopted the look of a small, greedy miser.

Luis furrowed his brow. "In Guang'an Prefecture, red copper ore sells for 3 spirit stones per pound. What price would you offer to sell it to me?"

"ah?"

Hearing the price, Luo Li was a little dumbfounded.

How could this happen? Only a few pieces of Refined Gold can be exchanged for a weapon.

Why is this stone so cheap? The price difference between the two is dozens of times.

This made Luo Li wonder if Luis was deceiving her.

Sensing her hesitation, Luis coughed and explained, "Miss Luo, do you know how difficult it is for humans to craft a weapon?"

As he spoke, he sighed, "Even this lowest-level, low-grade sword would take a weapon refining cultivator who is proficient in refining weapons seven full days to complete.

Mining for you mermaids shouldn't be that hard, right?"

"What?" Luo Li was shocked to hear it took seven entire days to forge a single weapon.

That's so much effort!

In comparison, mining stones seemed like an easy task for her people.

Thinking of this, Luo Li felt a little embarrassed.

After all, she also knew that digging stones did not require any technical skills and was just a physically demanding job.

Unlike female mermaids, male mermaids can't raise spirit shells. Male mermaids can't do anything else but have strong strength.

With this calculation, the mermaids only need to put in a little effort to exchange for the Hartmann family's weapons, which is a huge profit.

Seeing her blush with guilt, Luis silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this girl is a little Naive!

He had deliberately downplayed the intrinsic value of spirit ores, redirecting the discussion to the labor costs for both sides. A clever rhetorical move.

Thankfully, Luo Li didn't seem to notice anything amiss.

Perhaps, to the mermen, these "worthless" stones held little value. Spirit pearls from their spirit shells were at least decorative; these rocks were neither edible nor useful—and they weren't even pretty.

If not for Luis explicitly requesting them, the mermen wouldn't have spared a second glance at these stones.

Perhaps feeling guilty for doubting him earlier, Luo Li's tone softened as she introduced the next item.

"This is our tribe's greatest treasure—the Water Spirit Bead."

Luo Li pointed at the water spirit beads held in the hands of her tribesmen, and her tone suddenly became sad.

Luis knew that the mermaids had been persecuted by the Zhou family for hundreds of years because of this water spirit bead.

Though he sympathized, he knew better than to offer words of comfort.

After all, as a fellow human, he couldn't deny the connection between himself and the Zhou family. It was already generous of Luo Li not to extend her hatred toward him.

"And how much would these Water Spirit bead cost?" Luo Li raised her head and asked.

The Water Spirit Beads were emitting a pure water aura.

Water Spirit Beads are a unique cultivation resource produced by Female Mermaids. Of course, Zhou family also has it.

This spiritual bead has the effect of filtering and purifying spiritual energy.

In other words, when cultivators absorb spiritual energy that has been filtered and purified by the Water Spirit Bead, the efficiency of refining spiritual energy will increase significantly, thereby speeding up their cultivation.

Of course, this kind of treasure also has a time limit for use

Generally speaking, a first-level water spirit bead can only be used for a month at most, before it loses its ability to purify spiritual energy and becomes just an ordinary pearl.

After a moment of thought, Luis looked at Luo Li's expression and said carefully, "The price of a first-level water spirit bead in Zhou Main City is 50 spirit stones. I wonder what price Miss Luo is willing to give me?"

By mentioning the market price, he ensured she wouldn't dare suggest a higher rate.

In fact, although the Zhou family sells water spirit beads for 50 spirit stones each, ordinary cultivators and children from small families have no channels to buy them.

This kind of treasure that aids in spiritual practice had long been reserved by the big families in Guang'an Prefecture and even other prefectures in Ten Thousand Star Island.

Even if some leftovers fall into the hands of Casual cultivators, they are often sold at a high price.

When Luo Li heard that ten water spirit beads could be 500 Spiritual Stones, he couldn't help but feel guilty about this horrible price.

She hesitated and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Although she wanted to offer 50 spirit stones per bead, the thought of Hartmann Family exhausting seven-day forging process weighed heavily on her conscience.

After a long inner struggle, Luo Li raised her head with determination and declared, "Luis, you're an honest person. Since the Hartmann family has treated us mermen sincerely, we cannot, in good conscience, profit unfairly.

"We'll sell you the Water Spirit Bead for 10 spirit stones each."

Luis nearly fell off his stone bench in shock at her declaration.

'I feel so uneasy doing this business.' He thought looking at naive Luo Li.

"This…"

Luis realized he might have fooled this naïve girl quite a bit.

Seeing Luo Li's sincere expression on her delicate face, he felt a twinge of guilt.

Actually, it was not a guilt. In the future he wanted to bring these mermaid into the Fantasy World through the Vortex and them knowing the price might make the situation a little difficult.

But soon, he dismissed it.

This is business.

He glanced at Luo Li, then at the vast amount of treasures the mermaids had brought, and an even bolder idea sprouted in his mind.

Though his thoughts were turbulent, Luis maintained a calm expression. "Miss Luo, I appreciate the sincerity of your mermaids tribe, but… ten spirit stones for a Water Spirit Bead—isn't that a bit…"

Before he could finish, Luo Li's face flushed slightly, and she stammered, "I know ten spirit stones per Bead might be a bit pricey, but it's still cheaper than what the Zhou family offers, right? If… if you still think it's too much, we can discuss it further."

"Alright! No need to discuss anymore. Let's settle on this price," Luis waved his hand hurriedly.

He felt that continuing the conversation might drive the price down to one spirit stone per Bead.

As a future Partner, he didn't want to exploit the Mermaids too much. After all, he already considered their tribe as his exclusive partner.

A little bit might be fine.

Hearing his agreement, Luo Li let out a breath of relief.

In Luo Li's view, the transaction between the two parties is a win-win situation.
