I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 240 - 170: Bounty Order

Watching Venerable Lin Hai go downstairs, Li Mu walked straight into the Celestial Secret Chamber, took a seat in the vacant chair before the Celestial Secret Table, patiently waiting for Shi Hongyao to return.

Before long, Shi Hongyao hurried back, offering an apologetic bow to Li Mu, and apologized, "Senior, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. If Senior is here to purchase intelligence, I’ll offer you a discount!"

At this moment, Li Mu was dressed in a black robe, appearing as ’Old Man Zhang,’ exuding the Spiritual Pressure of a Nascent Soul True Monarch. Shi Hongyao’s respect was instantly gained, and Li Mu received better treatment compared to when he held the identity of a Golden Core Cultivator.

"Hmm!" Li Mu nodded somberly, not minding Shi Hongyao’s attitude of judging by appearances. After all, in this world, strength was revered, and High-Tier Cultivators were bound to receive better hospitality.

"I wonder what kind of intelligence Senior needs! If you wish to purchase or sell Spiritual Objects, our pavilion can also provide assistance!" Shi Hongyao asked respectfully.

"Hmm! I want to know about the Tier Six Water Demon Beasts and Wood Element Demon Beasts. Additionally, I wish to purchase high-tier Thunder and Fire Element Demon Beast hides for Talisman Paper peeling. Preferably above Tier Five, the more the better. Does your pavilion have any?" Li Mu smiled slightly and asked Shi Hongyao.

"Uh! As for the intelligence on the Tier Six Great Demons, our pavilion naturally has it. However, the intelligence of such high-tier Demon Kings comes at a high price, each piece ranging from: 200,000 to 1,000,000 Middle Spirit Stones." Shi Hongyao quoted Li Mu and then reached for a ledger on the table, flipping through it.

Shi Hongyao looked at Li Mu and explained in detail, "Senior, in our pavilion’s warehouse, we have Tier Four Celestial Thunder Beast hides, five sheets in total: 470 square feet. Tier Five Thunder Roc hides: 1 sheet, 32 square feet. Tier Five Thunder Beast hides: 2 sheets, 118 square feet; Tier Four Fierce Flame Spirit Lion hides: 37 sheets, 1,250 square feet, Tier Four Red Flame Spirit Python: 14 sheets, 557 square feet,... Tier Five Fire Cloud Mo Beast: 2 sheets, 55 square feet, and Tier Six Heaven-Burning Fire Beast: 1 sheet, 45 square feet."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected the Celestial Secret Pavilion to have such a large stock of high-tier Thunder and Fire Element Demon Beast hides. The strength of this organization should not be underestimated!

"I’ll take all of the Tier Four Thunder Beast and Tier Five Thunder Roc hides. Additionally, I want 20 sheets of Fierce Flame Spirit Lion hides and 2 sheets of Fire Cloud Mo Beast hides. Just these, calculate the total for me." Li Mu confirmed with Shi Hongyao.

Upon hearing Li Mu’s words, Shi Hongyao’s spirit lifted; this was a big deal! If the transaction succeeded, she would receive a considerable commission.

Shi Hongyao quickly calculated the total price of this batch of hides and reported, "Senior, the total price for these hides is 3.72 million Middle Spirit Stones. After the discount for you, it comes to 3.5 million Middle Spirit Stones."

"Alright! I’ll take it!" Li Mu nodded, accepting this quote.

Purchasing these hides, with his Ninth Level Perfection of Talisman Skin Peeling Technique, he could peel tens of thousands of sheets of Tier Four and Five Fire and Thunder Element Spirit Talisman Paper.

A Tier Four Talisman Paper costs four to five hundred Middle Spirit Stones per sheet, while a Tier Five Fire Attribute Talisman Paper requires one to two thousand Middle Spirits. A Tier Five Thunder Attribute Talisman Paper is slightly more expensive, probably over two thousand Middle Spirit Stones per sheet. If he were to buy the finished Spirit Talisman Paper, he’d need at least tens of millions of Middle Spirit Stones. Buying hides is much more cost-effective!

"Senior, what about the Tier Six Demon Beast intelligence? Which Demon Beast intelligence are you after? We have Tier Six Water-Avoiding Crystal Beast, Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, True Water Illusion Spirit Beast,... Wood Element Tier Six Mixed Wood Demon, Tier Six Cyan-Scaled Eight-Horned Deer, Tier Six Wood Nightmare Demon King,..." Shi Hongyao asked Li Mu with concern.

"Hmm! Certainly. Provide me with the intelligence on the two beasts with the best talent and strongest combat power, from the Water and Wood Element Demon Beasts." Li Mu nodded with pleasure, ordering Shi Hongyao. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Upon hearing this, Shi Hongyao was slightly stunned, thinking the other party wanted intelligence on those Tier Six Demon Beasts that were easier to hunt and deal with. Unexpectedly, he wanted ones with good talent and high potential.

"Senior, please wait!" Shi Hongyao closed her eyes slightly, beginning to sift through intelligence reports.

After a while, Shi Hongyao finished checking the intelligence reports and began introducing two types of Tier Six Demon Beast intelligence to Li Mu: "The best talent and strongest combat power are the Tier Six Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon and Tier Six Wood Nightmare Demon King, both are highly likely to promote to Tier Seven Demon Beasts. Their combat power is also quite formidable,..."

Li Mu listened and nodded repeatedly, indeed his trip to the Celestial Secret Pavilion was worthwhile.

After completing the intelligence transaction, Shi Hongyao had Lin Wanping bring down the hides to trade with Li Mu.

Lin Wanping hurried over, smilingly greeted, and asked Li Mu respectfully, "Senior, the hides are all here. You’ve purchased so many high-tier hides, presumably for Talisman Paper peeling. You must be a Talisman Master, right?"

"Hmm! What’s your question?" Li Mu smiled slightly, accepting the Storage Bag Lin Wanping handed over, and used Divine Sense to confirm the quality and amount of hides.

These hides were all specially treated, of excellent quality, and the amounts were correct.

Lin Wanping’s eyes brightened; the sales volume for Tier Five Talisman Paper was very good, yet high-tier Talisman Masters are rare talents, always difficult to come across. Even the Celestial Secret Pavilion couldn’t find stable high-tier Talisman Paper channels.

Selling so many Tier Four and Five hides at once was an unusual event, today he finally met a Talisman Master!

"To be honest, our pavilion needs to purchase a batch of Tier Four and Five Talisman Paper. Senior, would you be willing to provide for our pavilion? We are willing to buy from you at a price twenty percent above the market!" Lin Wanping asked Li Mu directly, getting straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu frowned, hesitating and pondering seriously.

Selling high-tier Talisman Paper was something Li Mu had never considered. Directly making them into high-tier Spirit Talismans and selling them would yield several times, even tenfold, the profit. Only a fool would directly sell the hard-earned high-tier Talisman Paper!
