Urban Invincible Overlord

Although Lu Chen and Gan Qian were not particularly clear about the production of Spirit Stones in White Jade City, they were somewhat aware that the conditions proposed by the sect were not unbearable for Yang Fei at present.

But they had to admit that the demands made by the sect were indeed high, and it was only natural for Yang Fei to negotiate here.

Hai Mo and Yan Wei both became tense when they saw Yang Fei outright refusing, becoming somewhat nervous.

Yang Fei stared at the two of them and said, "Those cultivators who died on Earth, they perished due to their lack of skills, so why do they need so much compensation? However, to show the sincerity of our Earth Cultivation World in seeking peace, I am still willing to make some compensation. Consider it a burial fee."

He paused for a moment, then thought and said, "Twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones per person, no more. As for the normal circumstances where large sects and Cultivation families do not directly trade with too weak forces, now that they want to cooperate with our Earth, it requires us to annually pay tribute to the upper realm's large families. I have heard about this from your Lingxiao Sect's other brothers, so I can understand and accept it. But sixty thousand top-grade spirit stones per year is too much, it needs to be less."

Seeing that although he refused the Sect Master's conditions, Yang Fei did not give up on cooperation but started bargaining, Hai Mo and Yan Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Wei couldn't help but ask, "Then what amount do you think is appropriate?"

Hai Mo also said, "Yes, since you think our Sect Master proposed too much, you need to suggest a suitable amount; otherwise, it would be difficult for us to convey it back."

"Three hundred thousand every year," Yang Fei said.

"Top-grade spirit stones?" Hai Mo asked.

"Yes."

Hai Mo was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The price you offer is too low, I fear our Sect Master might agree, but the other two Sect Masters and the Clan Leaders won't agree."

In fact, he and Yan Wei were overjoyed inside.

Every Foundation Establishment Stage disciple who perished is compensated with twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones, and additionally, thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones are paid annually in tribute to the six forces of the Southern Domain. This is a huge fortune in spirit stones, and with this increase, the sect can increase each disciple's spirit stone quota, and even expand by recruiting more disciples.

Furthermore, the forces across the Southern Domain trading and cooperating with Earth would be able to earn top-grade spirit stones from Earth's Cultivation World, resolving the shortage of top-grade spirit stones in the Southern Domain Cultivation World within a few years, or even completely solving the problem.

Hai Mo and Yan Wei went back, but it wasn't long before they came again, negotiating with Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang for a long time.

This way, the two of them made four trips back and forth on the Spirit Boat, and finally, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang nodded in agreement on the last visit.

As for those Foundation Establishment cultivators who died on Earth, Yang Fei agreed to compensate them with thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones each.

As for the tribute to the six cultivation forces, it became forty-five thousand top-grade spirit stones annually.

While agreeing to these terms, Yang Fei also put forward his own demands, which were accepted by the Southern Domain.

Due to Yang Fei's persistence, every five years, the Southern Domain Cultivation World is required to provide Earth Cultivation World with no less than ten Foundation Establishment Pills, thirty True Essence Pills, and thirty Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills, which are the most common auxiliary pills for Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, other effect pills are counted separately.

Besides, the Southern Domain Cultivation World also needs to provide talisman paper, talisman pens, and some special materials for making more advanced talismans to Earth.

All sorts of items that the Cultivation World possesses, like magic artifacts, spiritual artifacts, magic treasures, and pill treasures, can be brought for trade with Earth.

But the prices should not be arbitrary, at most trading at three to five times the price of the most ordinary workshop in the Southern Domain.

To this, the Southern Domain Cultivation World had no objections and agreed outright.

The elixirs and instruments crafted by the three two-star sects and the three cultivation families, though not difficult to sell, cannot be mass-dumped at prices exceeding three to five times those of the workshops.

Many items, to completely sell them, would also need to be sold outside the southern regions of the Southern Domain, involving business competition with other sects or families.

Now, with Earth as such a treasure, their items not only do not need to worry about sales, but can also be sold at high prices, and they can even demand transactions with Earth using mid-grade and top-grade spirit stones, which is extremely beneficial for all forces in the Southern Domain.

For Earth, being able to trade with the upper realm cultivation sects of the Southern Domain to obtain a large number of cultivation pills and good items like magic swords, magic artifacts, and spiritual artifacts allows Earth cultivators to grow quickly and arm themselves.

Most importantly, both sides have reached a consensus on cooperation, grievances are resolved, and henceforth, they can coexist harmoniously, letting Earth cultivators cultivate with peace of mind, without having to worry every day about the invasion of the Southern Domain forces.

While Yang Fei didn't know how long this peace would last, he had at least secured a certain period of peace for Earth.

As for the future, it depended on the growth speed of Earth's cultivators.

Perhaps one day in the future, with plenty of talented individuals emerging in Earth's Cultivation World, united, they may break free from the bindings of the Southern Domain and explore the broader Cultivation World.

"Thanks for the trouble of you two going back and forth so many times," Yang Fei said with a smile to Hai Mo and Yan Wei after the agreement was reached.

Hai Mo and Yan Wei were also very happy. Seeing Yang Fei being so courteous, they were pleased. Hai Mo said, "It wasn't troublesome. We are also glad to facilitate the cooperation between the two sides, so they can live in harmony and trade with each other."

Yang Fei nodded, "Indeed, the purpose of our cultivation is to seek immortality; fighting is too dangerous, it's better to have less of it. By the way, is the time on Earth different from the Southern Domain's time?"

"Yes, one day in the Southern Domain is equivalent to three days on Earth," Hai Mo said.

"So, when I mentioned trading every five years, it's according to Earth's time. If we calculate it as per the Southern Domain's time, it would be unbearable for us," Yang Fei said.

Hai Mo nodded, "I understand, I will inform the Sect Masters after I return."

Seeing the two prepared to leave, Yang Fei thought of something else and said, "By the way, the Southern Domain Cultivation World is vast, and you mostly rely on the Teleportation Array to travel, correct?"

Hai Mo and Yan Wei both nodded, the latter asked, "Why?"

Yang Fei said, "May I know what conditions are needed to establish a Teleportation Array? Could I invite craftsmen from the Southern Domain to help build some Teleportation Arrays? This way, it would be more convenient for Earth's cultivators to travel, and also easier to meet and cooperate with disciples from the Southern Domain coming for trade."

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, nodding silently, feeling that Yang Fei's decision was very wise.

Hai Mo and Yan Wei exchanged a glance, and the latter said, "We will truthfully report this after returning."

With a wave of his hand, Yang Fei gave each of them ten top-grade spirit stones, saying: "Please speak well of us and, as for the craftsmen who come over to help us build Teleportation Arrays, I assure you they won't regret it."

"Rest assured, Yang, I know some builders proficient in constructing transmission arrays. I will introduce them to you," Yan Wei said, seeing Yang Fei's generosity, and assured him while patting his chest.

"Thank you."

"Is there anything else Yang wants to say?"

"Nothing for now."

"In that case, we will take our leave."

"Please!"

"Farewell."

After Hai Mo and Yan Wei left, Yang Fei said to Lu Chen, "Let's go back to White Jade City."
