Chapter 1011: Liang Pu

TL: GoldenLung

The Blue Sea Clan man looked at Lan Xuanyu with some caution, not blinded by greed. He whispered, "Follow me." As he spoke, he led the way outside.

Lan Xuanyu said, "I have a few companions. They are all our clan members. Is it okay for them to come with us?"

The Blue Sea Clan man looked slightly relieved when he heard this. He had noticed that several Blue Sea Clan people had been looking at them. That was why he was so cautious. Now that Lan Xuanyu had spoken, it was clear that he had sincere intentions to cooperate, so he was a little more at ease. Of course, he didn't know that Lan Xuanyu had intentionally let him discover this.

"No problem, come together. This is Celestial Dragon Planet. The powerful Dragon clan can be seen everywhere, so safety is not a problem." The Blue Sea Clan person spoke with a generous tone, but seemed to be reminding Lan Xuanyu of something at the same time.

Lan Xuanyu waved his hand and his companions quickly gathered around, nodding their heads to the Blue Sea clan member.

"What should I call you?" the Blue Sea clan member asked Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu's heart trembled, but he still said, "We all use code names, you can call me First Wing."

"Okay. I am Liang Pu." As he spoke, Liang Pu stuffed the silver block into his own chest and waved his hand towards Lan Xuanyu, heading in a certain direction.

The Blue Sea clan also had strong people, but the small mineral trader in front of them was definitely not one of them. It was only a matter of raising a hand to subdue him.

Liang Pu didn't intend to expose Lan Xuanyu and his companions. He led them through the streets and alleys and soon arrived at a place that resembled a human hotel. He took them upstairs and into a room.

The room was quite large and was one open space, without any clear division between bedroom and living room. The floor was covered in thick fur-like material that had a slightly strange smell. It seemed to be a place to sleep.

In the center of the spacious hall were wooden stumps that looked like tree roots. Liang Pu said, "Please sit down." As he spoke, he pressed a button on the wall, and the lights came on. However, the surrounding area became darker, the windows were completely black, and it was possible to feel a faint energy that blocked the outside. It seemed to block sound.

Was this place designed like this?

Although Lan Xuanyu found it strange, he didn't ask any more questions.

Liang Pu directly answered his doubts, "This place is specifically for us traders to live in. The rooms have soundproof systems that can block sound leakage and ensure that there are no monitoring devices. Many of our transactions are conducted privately here."

After Liang Pu's explanation, Lan Xuanyu and the others finally understood that in Fenglong City, they not only traded with the Trading Center but also many traders from various planets conducted private transactions in exchange for the resources they wanted.

This type of transaction was not prohibited by Celestial Dragon Planet but rather encouraged. This was a very clever approach that made Celestial Dragon Planet a paradise for mineral and resource trading. Fenglong City was the second-largest trading location on Celestial Dragon Planet, second only to Celestial Dragon City.

The hotel in front of them was specifically used for these private transactions. It was very common for people like Lan Xuanyu to actively seek out this place. Furthermore, since they were of the same clan, Liang Pu did not have too much suspicion towards them. It was also not a big deal to have more people around, as this place had good security and the trust of the being from the same clan. In the eyes of Liang Pu and other traders, those who came here to trade were all seeking benefits. Who would do something that harmed others and benefited themselves? Once violence broke out here and someone was caught, they would be in big trouble. After a simple exchange, Lan Xuanyu understood the situation here and had a better idea of what to expect.

"First Wing, how much do you have in stock? I won't ask where it's from, but if we work together, I hope I am your only distributor in the future. Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. We split the profits 70/30, with you providing the stock and me selling it. You get 70% and I get 30% of the Dragon Horse coins earned. Don't underestimate the risk I'm taking with this 30%, as your goods may not always be in the clear. I'm already giving you the best price possible for exclusivity and a long-term partnership." 

It was clear that Liang Pu was a very shrewd businessman, stating his conditions straightforwardly and with a calm attitude, making his intentions very clear. 

The Blue Sea Clan was indeed wise! This was the feeling that Lan Xuanyu had at the moment.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lan Xuanyu looked up at him and said, "Since we're all from the same clan, I won't haggle with you. We'll go with your offer. From now on, we'll exclusively supply you. However, I do have one request. We're operating outside the law, so I need at least one account at the Celestial Dragon Bank. Can you arrange that for me? Otherwise, it'll be very inconvenient. I won't be able to spend any of the money we earn."

Liang Pu narrowed his eyes and replied, "That shouldn't be a problem. I'll take care of it. Do you want me to open an account for each of you?"

Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, "No need. Too many accounts will only lead to trouble. One account will do, but make sure it's secure. After all, we'll be working together for a long time."

Liang Pu nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do it your way. Give me two days, and I'll have the account ready for you. By the way, how much of this stuff do you have, and how will you supply it in the future?"

Lan Xuanyu said, "In the Douluo Federation, forging is also divided into different levels, from the lowest level of Hundred Forging, to the later Thousand Forging, and then there is the Spirit Forging in front of us. Spirit Forging can create life and give metal a soul. The higher level is Soul Forging, which can even give metal a soul and make it come alive like a real being. The highest level is called God Forging. I can't get my hands on God Forging, but I can obtain Soul Forging and below. However, I can't guarantee how much I can get or when it will be available. I can only contact you as soon as I have the goods."

Liang Piao asked, "How can I ensure that you won't trade on your own after you have the account for the Celestial Dragon Gold?"

Lan Xuanyu calmly said: "This is simple, my account is also open to you, you can check every transaction I make. I can only receive money through one account, if the money received is not from our transaction, you can terminate our cooperation or even expose us. That's why I asked you to open an account. As time goes by, we will trust each other and you won't have to worry anymore. I can also tell you that this forged rare metal is the most important resource in the Douluo Federation." 

Liang Pu nodded, "I think I've heard of it. But it requires certain technology, can you get that kind of technology?" 

Lan Xuanyu shook his head without hesitation, saying, "That's impossible to obtain. It's a very complex technology and the risk is too high. I don't want to die."

Rare metals were nothing to the Dragon Horse galaxy, they were just high-end metals. However, the Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit was different. This was one of the core technologies of the Douluo Federation. This could not be given away.

"Okay, that's it for now. How much do you have this time?" 

Lan Xuanyu thought for a moment, then took out twelve spirit refined metals and a soul-forged metal from the Ring of Fate.

He didn't have any thousand-forged or hundred-forged metals. For him, metals of that level were already useless.

Liang Pu's eyes lit up and he nodded at him.

Lan Xuanyu said, "This is it for now. If there are no problems with the transaction and the price is right, I will bring the second batch soon. You have two days to open our account, and the Dragon Horse coins will be directly deposited into the account. How about that?" He didn't ask for the specific price because he didn't know how much the forging metals should sell for in this area. Asking would only make him vulnerable.
