Chapter 276: Chapter 171: Star Emperor’s Source Material Celestial Shuttle

At that moment, Lü Yunyi saw the young Celestial Destiny Seeker before her open his palm.

He opened his palm, revealing a hand so well-formed it would make one swoon. Resting on it were five or six translucent, amber-colored granules.

These granules emitted a surging Dragon Qi, which practically enveloped the young man’s hand.

Even a layman could tell that this material was related to Dragon Species Guardian Beasts, and of an extremely high grade.

"If the Xilong Commerce Association could sell Drunken Dragon Jade, I imagine you would earn a fortune, and we could share in more of the profits."

"However, if I were to provide you with Drunken Dragon Jade, we would need to renegotiate the profit-sharing split we discussed earlier."

Lü Yunyi stared blankly at Zhong Yi’s palm. This material, called Drunken Dragon Jade... she almost thought she had misheard him.

’Is he really offering to sell this material, Drunken Dragon Jade, through the Xilong Commerce Association?’

Even before the Xilong Commerce Association was being suppressed by the Jinglong Commerce Association, it had rarely been able to acquire resources of this caliber.

A commerce association does indeed incur many costs when selling materials.

These costs are invested to better facilitate the sale of the materials.

But for a material like Drunken Dragon Jade, there would be no shortage of buyers.

To be able to sell it at the Xilong Commerce Association would enhance the association’s foundation and would be a great blessing!

Lü Yunyi was a very clear-headed person.

What the Xilong Commerce Association needed right now was to survive the suppression from the Jinglong Commerce Association.

A high-end material like this, related to Dragon Species Guardian Beasts, was the key for the Xilong Commerce Association to break the stalemate.

"Lord Zhong Yi, if you are willing to sell Drunken Dragon Jade through our Xilong Commerce Association, not only will we purchase the material upfront at the price you name..."

"...but for the subsequent net profit, the Xilong Commerce Association can give it all to you, without taking a single coin."

"On a monthly basis, may I ask how much Drunken Dragon Jade you could provide to the Xilong Commerce Association each month, my lord?"

Zhong Yi pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I can provide the Xilong Commerce Association with a minimum of five hundred pieces of Drunken Dragon Jade each month."

"I don’t need the Xilong Commerce Association to give me all the profits. The base price for each piece of Drunken Dragon Jade is four million Federation Coins. Excluding this base price, I only want eighty percent of the net profit from each piece."

"Drunken Dragon Jade can enhance the Bloodline of a Main Dragon Species Guardian Beast. A price of four million Alliance Coins per piece is already very generous."

The price Zhong Yi quoted was the one the Senhe Commerce Association had offered him when he was trading Exotic Beasts at their Exotic Beast Garden.

A material like this, capable of enhancing the Bloodline of a Dragon Species Guardian Beast, would cost at least twenty to thirty percent more in Longya City than in Starlight City.

Although for every piece of Drunken Dragon Jade sold, after deducting the principal cost, the Xilong Commerce Association would only gain twenty percent of the pure profit, roughly a few hundred thousand Federation Coins.

But to the Xilong Commerce Association, the value of Drunken Dragon Jade was not determined solely by its selling price.

Having an additional high-end resource would significantly boost the Xilong Commerce Association’s customer traffic.

It would allow the Xilong Commerce Association to continue operating under the pressure from Cao Xing’an and the Jinglong Commerce Association.

Lü Yunyi’s grandfather, Lü Jiangping, a Five-finger High Level Creator, dared to compete with Cao Xing’an, likely because he had the ambition to become a Five-finger Peak Creator himself.

’Five hundred pieces of Drunken Dragon Jade!’

This quantity far exceeded Lü Yunyi’s expectations.

At the same time, the effects of the Drunken Dragon Jade were also beyond her expectations.

Lü Yunyi had never imagined that Drunken Dragon Jade could actually enhance the Bloodline of a Main Dragon Species Guardian Beast.

’In that case, wouldn’t every single piece of Drunken Dragon Jade be equivalent to a Potion concocted by a Five-finger Creator?’

She had received this much help on her very first visit.

Lü Yunyi knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Suppressing her inner excitement, Lü Yunyi asked with great seriousness.

"My lord, I am eternally grateful that you are willing to help our Xilong Commerce Association."

"May I ask what our Xilong Commerce Association can do for you in return?"

"I came here this time not only as a representative of the Xilong Commerce Association, but also on behalf of my grandfather."

"Please feel free to tell me any requirements you may have."

Just as Zhong Yi had stated that he could provide the Xilong Commerce Association with five hundred pieces of Drunken Dragon Jade per month, he was making a calculation in his head.

Counting the three Fairy Flashing Phosphorus Flood Dragon Dragon Crystals that would be delivered tonight, Zhong Yi would have a total of thirteen Dragon-Brewed Immortal Minks.

His monthly output of Drunken Dragon Jade would be at least thirteen to fourteen hundred pieces.

Selling a third of his Drunken Dragon Jade in Longya City was more profitable than placing it in the Celestial Destiny Society’s Treasure Vault in exchange for Potential Points.

"The eighty percent net profit from the five hundred pieces of Drunken Dragon Jade I provide the Xilong Commerce Association each month can be paid in Federation Coins."

"However, for the principal cost of the Drunken Dragon Jade—two billion Federation Coins each month—I require you to trade for it with corresponding resources."

"Before we trade, I will provide a list of the resources I want."

"These resources are all relatively easy to obtain in Longya City, so you don’t need to worry."

Compared to directly receiving Federation Coins, Zhong Yi could earn much more by acquiring resources from Longya City and then selling them in Starlight City.

Furthermore, these acquired resources could also be provided to his Creators to use.

Under Zhao Kai and Wu Qing, his two Four-finger Creators, there were only a few dozen Craftsman Apprentices.

Once Tao En arrived in Starlight City, the minimum standard for all new recruits could be raised to the level of a Three-finger Creator.

Even Zhao Kai and Wu Qing, the two Four-finger Creators, would be able to improve under Tao En’s guidance.
