Chapter 262 I must congratulate you, you'll be able to go inside soon.
The two white-faced apes, who had been living together for thousands of years, knew each other's thoughts with just a glance, without needing to say a word.
The male white-faced ape shielded the female white-faced ape behind him and bowed to Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er with his paw: "Are you two really willing to trade on an equal footing, or are you here to deceive us?"
Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er returned the greeting to the white-faced ape at the same time.
Zhong Lingxin smiled and said, "Of course we are willing to trade on an equal footing. There's no need to fight and kill over things that can be resolved peacefully. We're not just looking for trouble."
"Isn't the purpose of your cultivators' training to fight against us demonic beasts?"
"That's just a kind of training. The purpose of our training is to advance and trade resources. There's really no need to fight and kill. Besides, if we really fight with your thousands of white-faced apes, we won't gain any advantage."
"So, swear that you are willing to trade on an equal footing. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that you cultivators are too cunning. You all speak so sweetly, but in the end, it's impossible to guard against you. We've learned this the hard way. Once we've handed over all the spiritual herbs and minerals, you cultivators go back on your word and start trying to poison us."
"You're right, it's better to make a Heavenly Oath. However, we need to agree on the terms first, and then both sides will swear an oath. Don't say you don't trust us, and we don't trust you either. There are several thousand of you. If we're bound by the oath, we can only fight back and not retaliate. We might really be tricked to death by you. Don't think only we cultivators are bad; you demon beasts are cunning too."
"Okay, the terms are agreed upon, and both sides swear an oath."
Soon, Zhong Lingxin and the White-faced Ape couple reached an agreement. As long as both parties were willing to trade, the price would be 70% of the market value.
This is also the normal trading price between cultivators and demonic beasts in the territory of demonic beasts.
Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er readily swore: "Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er are willing to trade fairly with the White-Faced Apes, exchanging their spiritual herbs, minerals, and other cultivation resources within their territory at 70% of the market price. If there is any fraud, we are willing to be struck by heavenly lightning and have our souls scattered on the spot."
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er readily swore their oaths, the white-faced ape immediately swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao, willing to trade 70% of the market price of the spiritual herbs and minerals from its territory for Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er's cultivation resources, including elixirs, array plates, and talismans. If there was any fraud, it also vowed to be struck by heavenly lightning and have its soul instantly annihilated.
A voice rang out from the sky: "Yes, sir!"
The oath is made.
Both were all smiles and entered the white-faced ape's cave together.
Upon entering the cave, the white-faced ape couple felt a little awkward.
The tables and chairs were overturned, and the place was a complete mess.
The female white-faced ape and Zhong Lingxin talked a lot along the way.
Knowing that the two were straightforward people, he didn't hide anything and said frankly, "I'm really sorry, there were cultivators from the Taixu Sect trying to steal our peaches in front, and then the Fire Cloud Leopard tried to steal our baby apes from behind. We just had a fight with the Fire Cloud Leopard."
Zhong Lingxin and the other person nodded.
Inside the cave, there were traces of fire everywhere, indicating that the battle that had just taken place was quite fierce.
Several nimble white-faced apes quickly cleared out a clean area.
The white-faced ape took out various cultivation resources that he had treasured.
Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er also took out a bunch of jade bottles, array plates, and talismans.
However, when inspecting the medicinal herbs preserved by the white-faced ape, Zhong Lingxin looked troubled and picked up a five-colored flower, saying, "Your Excellency and Husband probably eat a lot of five-colored flowers, so you don't pay much attention to their preservation."
This five-colored flower has lost most of its spiritual power, so its medicinal effects are naturally greatly reduced.
This is probably not a normal transaction price.
Alternatively, let's exclude elixirs and fruits like these from our scope of trade.
To avoid any misunderstandings.
We've all sworn an oath to Heaven; it wouldn't be right for anyone to take advantage of the other.
The white-faced ape couple exchanged glances, then went to the side with several white-faced ape elders who had gathered around and whispered for a while. They then came over, cupped their paws to Zhong Lingxin and Huang Lingxin, and said, "Fairy Zhong, Fairy Huang, we have discussed it."
Unlike you cultivators, we demon beasts don't keep spiritual herbs safe.
We all learned from you cultivators and kept it in a jade box.
Improper storage resulted in severe loss of spiritual energy.
In this way, whatever percentage of spiritual power is lost will be discounted accordingly. I believe the two fairies are not people who treat us unfairly.
I've heard that you cultivators can cultivate spiritual herbs. If you take these herbs back and cultivate them successfully, that's your own ability, and it has nothing to do with us.
Zhong Lingxin smiled. If anyone dared to talk to her about demonic beasts again, she would definitely put a silencing talisman on their mouth.
This white-faced ape kept saying he wouldn't take advantage of them, while simultaneously claiming they knew how to grow crops.
This is a reminder to them that although such spiritual herbs are not bound by the Heavenly Oath, they should not be wasted.
Huang Ying'er laughed too, and she turned to the mother white-faced ape and said, "It's good that you're more straightforward than your husband."
The female white-faced ape smiled and gave the oriole a waving gesture: "Please bear with me, please bear with me."
The white-faced apes had accumulated a great many spiritual herbs and minerals. It took five days to count them before the two sides agreed on a specific price.
Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er took out the corresponding pills and talisman array plates.
The transaction was successfully completed.
Both sides were extremely pleased.
The white-faced ape became much more sincere towards Zhong Lingxin and the other person.
The female white-faced ape carefully introduced the monsters behind them to the two of them: "Beyond our boundary, there is the fire cloud leopard. The fire cloud leopard is generally a little higher in cultivation than us white-faced apes. Mainly because they can take a beating better than us. The male fire cloud leopard king is at the early seventh level. It has an extremely fiery temperament. I heard that if any Fire Clouded Leopard dares to disobey it, it will kill it with its claws and take out the inner elixir to eat. The male Fire Clouded Leopard likes to eat the inner elixir very much. Many of our white-faced apes have stolen the inner elixir. "
The white-faced ape nodded: "The Fire Cloud Leopard has thicker skin than us, but its spiritual sense is not as high. That's why we've been fighting for thousands of years. To be honest, if it weren't for you cultivators always coming to train, our white-faced ape clan wouldn't have failed to develop. Otherwise, we would have driven the Fire Cloud Leopards out long ago."
Zhong Lingxin traded two large bottles of Body Tempering Pills to the White-Faced Ape, knowing that the male White-Faced Ape and several White-Faced Ape elders would soon be promoted to seventh-tier demon beasts. She smiled and congratulated them, saying, "I must congratulate you; you'll soon be able to go inside."
All the white-faced apes had happy expressions on their faces.
They no longer have to fight endlessly with the cultivators at the first stop on the carp's back.
From now on, the Fire Cloud Leopard will have to fight the cultivators first and be eliminated once.
As for whether Fire Cloud Leopard will make a deal with Zhong Lingxin.
Heh, based on their understanding of the male fire cloud leopard.
That's a greedy guy.
It will only try every means to seize all of Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er's cultivation resources for its own use.
They were waiting for Zhong Lingxin and Huang Ying'er to finish their fight with the Fire Cloud Leopard before attacking it.
