Chapter 296: Chapter 157 Eating Meat and Drinking Soup (1/3)Stability is truly precious. Especially for a transmigrator who could travel between two realms, not encountering troubles while developing stably is a wealth far more valuable than any windfall or opportunity. During this peaceful month, although nothing particularly major had happened, for An Jing himself, it was equally thrilling. In the Tianyuan Realm, An Jing and Huo Qing drove across the constantly changing roads of the Floating Dust Plains, killing any Demon Beasts they came across, and occasionally also dropping off a can of food as a reward for a fierce wolf (or perhaps a dog) that would help them repel other Demon Beasts and wag its tail at them. The two men transported merchandise together and organized materials with Iron Hand, and after everything was in order, the three men, hands on hips, contentedly watched the well-organized warehouse, sharing a simple joy with a mutual smile. While on delivery routes, An Jing also encountered gangs and vagrants intent on stopping his vehicle to demand money. Some were just verbal, ending after a bit of cursing, but others involved armed robbery. In those cases, kill if necessary, chase away if needed; even Huo Qing would not be lenient. The two also experienced a second Demon Beast siege. At that time, the evil demons and Demon Beasts flooded Chonggang Town, like dark clouds overhead, seemingly endless. But the Purple Mansion Great Formation operated, cleaving the dark clouds like thunder, effortlessly annihilating all the Demon Beasts. An Jing observed the operation of the Great Formation up close, and indeed, he discerned some insights—the Great Yuan Rainbow Tower was the core of the Great Formation, the Divine Weapons also central to the Great Formation, the Great Yuan Rainbow Tower’s might would strengthen over time, and so would the Divine Weapons. The Formation techniques of both realms had the same origin, indeed, they could learn from each other. Meanwhile, in the Embracing the Void Realm, An Jing visited various major markets. He hired a group of reliable and honest people certified by Granny Huai to work for him, and had Steward Li from Youde Garden, under his boss’s instruction, come to manage miscellaneous affairs for him, purchasing a large number of animal skins, Frost Jade, and herbs from the Northern Border. According to the plan, An Jing met personally with the leader of the Dust Li tribe responsible for selling these goods to negotiate. Under the genuine token of True Person of Visible Empty Mountain, these tribespeople of Dust Li almost knelt before An Jing; none of them dared ask why he wanted to purchase these goods. Not realizing this, An Jing had no choice but to reveal that his own tribe planned to build another outpost in the deep mountains and these were reserves. After acquiring a large amount of cheap goods, An Jing then spent money to buy a cheap warehouse vacated after the collapse of Chongyi Building. This warehouse should have cost over fifteen hundred silver, but An Jing acquired it for just three hundred. This was not just courtesy from True Person of Divine Repository, but also the government’s directive and gesture of goodwill. Located inconspicuously at a corner by the river, whenever the goods accumulated to a certain amount, a convoy would set out, transporting them toward the Dust Li direction. These items would be dropped off near the border line, and according to An Jing, there would be people from their side to take over and carry them away. The convoy members found nothing strange; having special channels for trading Spiritual Objects was normal, after all, making round trips brought them money, and no one cared about such minor details. But once the convoy members left and An Jing confirmed no one was around, he would take all these goods away using the Great Void Passage, transferring them to the warehouse in Chonggang Town of Tianyuan Realm. Afterwards, Huo Qing would help An Jing sort through the various goods, arranging everything by quality and size, then shooting videos and photos, editing music and adding filters to produce various short videos, which he posted on the Spiritual Network for promotion. "High-quality Demon Beast leather, absolutely genuine, wild hunted, experience the Wilderness vibe, limited quantity, hurry while stock lasts." "Pollution-free Water Element Frost Jade, aids in meditation, calming and soothing, no adverse effects nor addictive, the best choice outside the Heart-cohering Talisman!" A local intermediary company in town, which was also Iron Hand’s channel, was also advertising this little online shop. This was An Jing’s confirmation of two main future commodities, even if he returned to the Northern Border, he could still procure goods from the local commerce there—moreover, An Jing could stockpile goods and release them slowly, or even utilize hunger marketing. As for herbs, Huo Qing said he had connections. Back in his hometown, Danlin Town, there was a herbalist with whom he had a good relationship. The spirit herbs that An Jing had brought last time were all purchased by him. The only problem was that if he wanted to sell in large quantities, he would inevitably have to visit Danlin Town again. Huo Qing didn’t know what the Day Tiger Gang boss thought of him, An Jing felt that the Day Tiger Gang boss had bigger fish to fry with his vast business and numerous matters. How could he possibly remember them, minor figures? However, since Huo Qing was somewhat worried, there was no rush. After all, the first two commodities were enough to make a profit, and selling the herbs sporadically could still be lucrative. In Xuanye City, logistics were highly developed. With Iron Hand’s network, as long as An Jing’s goods could reach the city, they could easily be distributed. This was where Huo Qing and Iron Hand came in; An Jing only needed to ensure his goods reached the warehouse in Chonggang Town. Over these days, An Jing and Huo Qing had also renovated the warehouse in Chonggang Town. They divided two spirit Qi nodes into two seclusion rooms, which served as their workshops and rest areas—such is the convenience of cultivators. The remaining space was divided into five storage areas of various sizes, separated by simple steel plates, which could be further decorated and reinforced in the future, but for now, it was sufficient. After completing these tasks, orders for the beast skins and Cold Jade hanging on the network began to trickle in. The sales of demon beast skins were not fast, but each order was substantial. According to Iron Hand, high-quality skins could be used as raw materials for private Talisman Masters, could be made into lightweight leather armors, or could even be processed as bases for Great Formations. In summary, the Tianyuan Realm excelled in resource management compared to Embracing the Void, even old, low-quality skins were useful. Iron Hand had demonstrated a crushing process by feeding them to his vine formation as fertilizer. As for Cold Jade, however—that was a different story. It sold extremely fast, running out on the first day of listing. Even Iron Hand’s sister, a woman with a seductive voice but who made An Jing instinctively cautious, had specifically come to inquire when An Jing could provide the next batch of Cold Jade. Her codename was ’Rusty Feather,’ and she was already a well-known intermediary in Xuanye City before she disappeared. During the years she was missing, she hadn’t completely vanished but maintained minimal contact with a few key networks. Thus, after settling her adversaries upon her return, she quickly resumed her original platform. Although she lost many clients, she still had some reputation—coming back from the dead was somewhat of an advertisement after all. Now, she urgently needed tasks or good items to make a name for herself, and An Jing’s premium spiritual objects were just what she needed. Naturally, she went all out to help spread the word. Rusty Feather told An Jing that materials that could be crafted into Heart Condensing Jade Pendants were in high demand in the Tianyuan Realm full of cultivators. Understanding this, An Jing became more cautious and reluctlantly told her that the production of Cold Jade was not high, and the batch he had brought was already plenty. As for this, Rusty Feather was somewhat regretful but not surprised—the Wilderness sect must have found a Cold Yin Cave with a small Cold Jade vein, stable in output and sufficient for their own use, which was why they thought of selling it. The natural Qi of the Tianyuan Realm is primarily concentrated in metal, earth, and flame aspects, with very little in water and wood, likely a residual effect of the Demon Calamity." This was Subdue Evil’s conclusion: "This realm, like Embracing the Void, has its deficiencies in heavenly laws, but the deficiencies are not the same." An Jing also nodded slightly, "Even the spiritual objects of both Yin and Yang are rare. This world is overshadowed by dark clouds, and when the Immortal Path warships tore through the sky, I saw no moon, only countless swiftly spinning stars." "The problems of the Tianyuan Realm might be bigger than we imagine...but they are not something we can deal with right now." This batch of spiritual objects earned An Jing a total of four thousand seven hundred Good Deeds, the normal commodity price rather than the recycling price. However, these four thousand seven hundred were pure profit, already exempting Xuanye City’s 9% natural spiritual objects value-added tax, Rusty Feather, and Iron Hand’s 20% platform and logistics cooperation fee—actually, other platforms charge about 30 to 45%. However, An Jing was the first and would continue to cooperate with them as a Wilderness supplier, hence the partnership discount. And An Jing did not mind letting those he cooperated with make some money too—what a joke, for items that cost just one or two hundred Good Deeds to break even, he had already made four thousand seven. There was no need to battle demon beasts or race against bandits; he didn’t even have transportation costs! Not letting others benefit too would probably invite divine retribution!
