Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1870: 1404: Pending Repair

Even without distributing the Spirit Seeds throughout the Southern Domain, selling them remains possible, since their reach hasn't yet stretched to other continents anyway.

Naturally, the cost would remain steep, and certain stipulations could be involved.

“So, what offer are you prepared to make?” The Elders from the Farmer School shared looks before inquiring.

Li Zhirui handed the choice back to them, “Why don't you lay out your conditions first, and I'll check if I can fulfill them?”

The key issue was his uncertainty about what proposals would please them, and suggesting terms might reveal his limits, letting the opposition capitalize on it.

In particular, since he held the disadvantaged spot as the needy party, offering conditions could leave him open to their maneuvering.

Upon hearing Li Zhirui's reply, the Elders sealed their voices and started deliberating.

“This cultivator likely hails from the East Continent, though it's unclear how he evaded the Human Dao network's restrictions.”

“We also don't know if his approach is one-of-a-kind and tough to copy, or something that could be shared on a larger scale…”

The Farmer School Elders felt deep concern over this. Should the Immortal Tao discover a means to dodge the Human Dao network's suppression, future pressures and dangers from the Immortal Tao could loom large.

“We'll tackle that issue separately. Right now, let's focus on the Primordial Jade Spirit Rice seeds and decide on suitable terms.” Noticing the drift, one Elder swiftly steered the talk back.

After some reflection, a voice chimed in:

“He's a cultivator with solid cultivation and alchemy expertise. He must possess plenty of Spirit Seeds. Why not request additional ones? Down the line, we could breed fresh Spiritual Objects via grafting, crossbreeding, and similar techniques.”

“Excellent idea!”

“Absolutely! Having those Spirit Seeds lets us grow a wider array of Spiritual Objects.”

The remaining Elders voiced their support in turn.

Once they'd settled the deal's terms, they dropped the barrier and addressed Li Zhirui, “Sorry for the wait; we hope you'll excuse the holdup.”

“It's fine.” He remained unperturbed, shaking his head, and from their faces, it was clear they'd reached an agreement.

“We won't press you unfairly. Being an Immortal Dao cultivator, you probably carry numerous Spirit Seeds. How about exchanging five Earth Immortal Rank Spirit Seeds with us?”

One Elder continued, “Additionally, there's one more matter we require your insight on.”

“Feel free to ask.” Li Zhirui felt a bit confused by the stipulation.

“As a practitioner of the Immortal Dao, how do you escape the Human Dao network's suppression?”

He'd expected a graver, more hidden query, yet it turned out to be merely this?

Still, after brief consideration, he grasped their unease. The Human Dao's primary edge over rival groups lies in the network's ability to curb their strength, and at times, outright ban their skills!

Yet with his abrupt arrival, such worries were bound to surface.

“Rest easy. I won't detail the method itself, but I assure you: it's not replicable on a broad scale and can't be disseminated or instructed.”

Pausing briefly, Li Zhirui supplemented, “Naturally, this applies only to the techniques I've grasped. I'm unaware if rival powers have devised anything comparable.”

“What a relief!”

The Farmer School Elders visibly relaxed. As long as the Immortal Tao lacked a breakthrough against the Human Dao network's hold, they could avoid facing twin perils to the Human Dao.

“With that settled, should we proceed with the exchange?” Li Zhirui suggested eagerly.

“Certainly.”

An Elder extended his palm, producing a cloth pouch, and explained, “This Seed Bag comes from our Farmer School's joint effort with the Mo Family. It accommodates thousands of pounds of assorted seeds, organizes them individually, and sustains the Spirit Seeds' vitality over extended periods.”

Li Zhirui's gaze brightened, prompting him to inquire swiftly, “Can I purchase these Seed Bags?”

“Naturally, and if you'd like, we'll provide ten at no charge.”

“I appreciate that, though I'd prefer acquiring extras at standard rates if feasible.”

For the Li family, ten proved insufficient; they required forty to fifty at minimum, and if the cost stayed reasonable, acquiring more would be ideal.

“We can arrange that.”

The Farmer School Elders beamed with satisfaction, having secured yet another substantial agreement.

A quarter-hour passed, and the exchanges concluded fully.

Li Zhirui secured two hundred pounds of Primordial Jade Spirit Rice seeds alongside forty-five Seed Bags, as the Farmer School reaped a highly gratifying return.

All parties left content.

“I'll take my leave then.” With the deal wrapped up, he avoided dawdling and rose to bid farewell.

The assembly also rose, planning to accompany him out. After all, the just-finished trade had brought them a hefty sum in silver coins.

“My thanks, but to steer clear of drawing eyes, we'll separate here.” Li Zhirui stated this upon crossing the doorway, glancing back at them.

He consistently concealed his real persona, and having these Elders walk him to the entrance would undoubtedly draw crowds, clashing with his aim of staying discreet.

The group honored his preference and halted their escort.

Once Li Zhirui departed, an Elder posed with curiosity, “What’s your assessment of this man's cultivation realm?”

“Minimum an Earth Immortal, and quite possibly a Heavenly Immortal.”

Indeed, without deep cultivation and robust power, he wouldn't risk plunging so far into Human Dao lands, much less expose himself boldly for a deal with them.

“I believe he's without doubt a Heavenly Immortal…”

“Enough. The exchange is done. His identity and background are irrelevant to us henceforth. Let's turn our efforts to exploring the cultivation of these five Earth Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects.”
