Chapter 2048: Smooth Transaction!
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
A month later, Zhou Yu received news from the City Defense Team. He ended his seclusion, left the cave, and took Team 189 members to carry out a new task.
This time, the task lasted up to three months.
However, the process was exceptionally smooth.
Three months later, Zhou Yu returned safely with the team members.
After returning, Zhou Yu learned that the next task would be a year later.
He silently calculated the time, then left the City Defense Headquarters and went to Han Yue Restaurant in the city.
As soon as Zhou Yu entered the restaurant, he immediately saw a woman in a black robe.
This woman was the Demon Clan woman Zhou Yu met at the last auction.
She agreed to trade with him and had set a time for the transaction.
Zhou Yu originally didn’t hold much hope for this deal, but since it was agreed upon, he decided to come and see.
Unexpectedly, the woman had arrived early.
Seeing Zhou Yu arrive as agreed, the woman appeared somewhat excited.
The next moment, the woman’s Divine Thought Communication appeared in Zhou Yu’s mind.
"Room No. 5 in the Heaven Wing!"
After speaking, the woman turned around and went upstairs, while Zhou Yu found an empty seat and sat down.
He ordered a pot of Spiritual Tea and savored it for half an hour.
Only after half an hour did Zhou Yu stand up, calmly walking upstairs.
Room No. 5 in the Heaven Wing.
As Zhou Yu entered, the woman’s voice immediately sounded.
However, there was an indistinct grievance in the voice.
"Friend, you really are cautious."
Zhou Yu’s expression was calm as he spoke lightly:
"One must not have the intention to harm others, but must guard against being harmed."
The woman was stunned, then laughed softly.
"What you said makes a lot of sense."
"You remember our deal, right?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said:
"Of course, otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here."
The woman laughed and said:
"That’s good."
"As agreed, I’ve prepared what you need."
"You can check for yourself."
With that, the woman handed Zhou Yu a Storage Ring.
Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised to see the woman so trusting.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with the goods?"
The woman laughed softly:
"I believe you aren’t that kind of person."
"If you were, it would mean I misjudged you."
Zhou Yu gave the woman a deep look; he wouldn’t naively believe what she said was entirely true.
She must have a backup plan.
However, he didn’t really intend to take the goods forcefully.
Zhou Yu picked up the Storage Ring and began to inspect it.
As his Divine Sense scanned around, Zhou Yu’s expression changed.
He looked astonished, but at the same time revealed an expression of excitement.
Unexpectedly, the woman had prepared over a hundred kinds of Spiritual Medicine seeds and seedlings that he needed, most of which Zhou Yu didn’t have.
Besides this, there were also a few things resembling stalactites stored in the ring.
"What’s this?"
Zhou Yu held the items resembling stalactites, asking in confusion.
The woman shrugged her shoulders.
"The stalactites you wanted are treasures on par with top-tier items in the Demon Clan; they’re hard to obtain."
"So, I collected some Earth Spirit Milk for you."
"In fact, stalactites are formed from Earth Spirit Milk, just requiring thousands of years to do so."
"Thus, Earth Spirit Milk has relatively less use for the Demon Clan, making it easier to collect."
"While gathering materials, I helped you collect some."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Right.
How could he have forgotten this?
Previously, he kept thinking about using the time acceleration ability in the Four Directions Realm for cultivating Spiritual Medicine, forgetting that, besides cultivating medicine, it could also accelerate the formation of stalactites.
With Earth Spirit Milk available, the issue of stalactites could be resolved.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu grew increasingly excited but maintained a calm face.
"Thank you."
After speaking, Zhou Yu also took out three Jade Boxes from his Storage Ring.
"These are the agreed upon materials, you can check them."
Seeing the three Jade Boxes handed over by Zhou Yu, the woman’s eyes lit up as she quickly took them.
Upon opening them, she saw three five-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines quietly lying inside.
Seeing these long-desired Spiritual Medicines, the woman couldn’t help but show an expression of excitement.
She put away the Jade Box, looked at Zhou Yu and said:
"Let’s complete this transaction."
Zhou Yu nodded.
Then they both stored their respective items.
After storing them, the woman proactively spoke:
"This is our first cooperation, very smooth."
"I wish to continue working together with you; I wonder if you are interested."
Zhou Yu didn’t immediately answer but asked:
"Cooperation is possible, but what exactly do you want?"
The woman took a deep breath, controlling her excitement, and tentatively asked:
"Friend, do you... have any Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes didn’t reveal any surprise.
He had long anticipated the woman’s desire.
However, Zhou Yu still showed a hint of struggle.
Seeing this, the woman quickly said:
"Brother, rest assured, if you have Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine, you can name many items from the Demon Clan; I’ll make an effort to acquire them for you."
"Including stalactites!"
The woman vowed confidently.
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"Perhaps you should first hear what I need."
After speaking, Zhou Yu communicated his needs to the woman through Divine Thought Communication.
Once he finished, he quietly awaited the woman’s reaction.
This time, Zhou Yu’s requests included not just medicinal materials, but also large quantities of High Rank Demon Clan Essence Blood, Demon Cores, and some Demon Clan-specific cultivation resources.
Of course, nearly half of these resources were intended for Zhou Yu’s future cultivation of the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique.
After hearing Zhou Yu’s requirements, the woman was indeed stunned for a long time; she hadn’t expected Zhou Yu to ask for such a large amount.
With these resources, it would be enough for a Human Race medium-sized sect to use for five years.
Could it be that behind Zhou Yu there was a medium-sized sect?
The woman was curious, but wisely chose not to inquire.
With a deep breath, she said:
"What you need is valuable, but I can acquire it."
"However, I want this many Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicines!"
The woman extended five fingers, then stared at Zhou Yu intently.
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Deal."
"But I need ten years."
The woman immediately laughed:
"Precisely, I also need about that time."
"Let’s agree to continue the transaction here ten years from now."
"Alright!"
After the agreement, Zhou Yu took the lead to leave the restaurant.
Afterward, Zhou Yu returned directly to Little Qingshan to continue his seclusion.
Meanwhile, during Zhou Yu’s seclusion, the atmosphere around Fengyuan City became more and more tense...
