None of the five Nascent Soul Cultivators present had any objections to Xu Lun's proposal; this seemed to be the fairest distribution plan.
Xu Lun duplicated five copies of the Spiritual Objects inventory, and he also attached Taihao Sect's Spiritual Objects to them. As for Taihao Sect's items, they could be sold on the side.
The five individuals received the lists and, using their Divine Sense, glanced at them. Their faces revealed expressions of astonishment and delight. The further they read, the harder it became to contain their joy.
The types and quantities of Spiritual Objects brought by the fleet this time had been extensively discussed beforehand based on the intelligence provided by Liu Changsheng regarding the Southern Region. Therefore, these Spiritual Objects were all items that Southern Region Cultivators were in urgent need of and were relatively scarce. As a result, each item on the list had a great allure to the Nascent Soul Cultivators present.
The first item on the list was the Foundation Establishment Pill, which already gave them a tremendous surprise. As they continued reading, the variety of valuable Spiritual Objects increased. Towards the end, there were various types of Magic weapons and even three-tier Pills.
"Hiss! There's even a three-tier Battle Puppet for sale, which is equivalent to the strength of a Golden Core Cultivator!"
"A large-sized combat Flying Boat and a transport Flying Boat!"
"A Jade Marrow Pill! I didn't expect even this kind of sacred healing medicine!"
"Nascent Nurturing Pills! There are even four-tier Pills!"
Many of these treasures, if encountered under normal circumstances, would likely lead to bloody conflicts in the Hezhou Cultivation World. However, now, intimidated by the caravan's formidable power, no one harbored such thoughts. With the strength of this caravan, wiping out any faction would be effortless.
As for forming an alliance, at most, it would level the playing field against them. But this was just a caravan, and there were even more undisclosed forces behind it.
What made this caravan truly valuable was that, although the items it carried were rare, it did not take advantage of the situation by selling them at exorbitant prices. The prices listed on the inventory were extremely reasonable, and some of the treasures were even priced slightly lower than the market rates in the Southern Region.
For example, the Foundation Establishment Pill, which was currently priced at over twenty Intermediate-grade Spirit Stones in the Southern Region, might not even be available at that price. However, the Foundation Establishment Pills in the caravan were priced at just eighteen Intermediate-grade Spirit Stones each, which was akin to the prices from eighty years ago in the Hezhou Cultivation World.
Since the upheaval in East Zhou and the turmoil in the Southern Region, the prices of various Spiritual Herbs had steadily risen, causing the price of Foundation Establishment Pills to double in a hundred years.
Not only were the prices affordable, but the quantities were also substantial. There were a total of twenty thousand Foundation Establishment Pills, and there were significant quantities of other types of treasures as well.
In fact, Foundation Establishment Pills were abundant in the Fengwu Continent and were priced at no more than ten Intermediate-grade Spirit Stones. Moreover, the raw materials for these Foundation Establishment Pills were produced in Wang Hong's Space, refined by their own Alchemists, so the cost per pill was at most one Intermediate-grade Spirit Stone.
The main reason for the high price of Foundation Establishment Pills was some of the primary ingredients, which had strict growth requirements. Most Medicinal Herbs were not widely produced even in the Fengwu Continent and were primarily abundant in the Central Continent. Wang Hong's Space, however, was different. Any Medicinal Herbs could thrive there, and cultivating these Spiritual Herbs was as straightforward as cultivating other two-tier Spiritual Herbs.
Additionally, they had a significant number of skilled Alchemists, especially the Ma Brothers. Currently, refining Foundation Establishment Pills like these, they could refine over a hundred materials in a single batch, with a high Pill Success Rate and quality.
If not for considering the purchasing power of the Southern Region Sects, they could have prepared even more this time.
The five Nascent Soul Cultivators carefully deliberated while holding the inventory, finding it difficult to make choices. They didn't want to give up on any of the treasures listed, and if possible, they wanted to buy them all.
However, they were well aware that buying everything was impossible. Firstly, other Sects would not simply yield, and secondly, even if they were given such an opportunity, they did not have the financial capacity to acquire all the Spiritual Objects.
This matter was crucial to the overall development of their Sects, and they couldn't make a unilateral decision.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, may I request to return and discuss this with my sect members before making a final decision?" said the Nascent Soul Cultivator from Redleaf Sect, bowing respectfully to Xu Lun.
"Please go ahead, and I hope your sect can make a decision within ten days," Xu Lun replied with a smile.
Subsequently, the remaining Nascent Soul Cultivators also bid farewell to Xu Lun and expressed their need to return for deliberation. Xu Lun understood their situation and gave them all a ten-day deadline.
As the Nascent Soul Cultivators from different sects left, the caravan remained in place.
Ten days passed quickly, and this time, the five major Sects didn't come alone. They arrived in large groups, which was quite impressive, likely because they intended to escort the cargo back.
The Nascent Soul Cultivators from the five major Sects each handed Xu Lun a list of items they wanted to purchase. The responses from the five Sects were almost identical.
Xu Lun reviewed the five purchase lists and found that they were nearly identical. The quantity listed by each sect accounted for almost half of the caravan's inventory.
In this way, every item in the caravan would be divided equally among the five major Sects, satisfying their intentions. In the case of a shortage of Spirit Stones, their need for certain Spiritual Objects was not so urgent, and each Sect had slightly different demands.
The reason for purchasing such large quantities of each item was that they didn't want to let other Sects benefit too much. Even if Spirit Stones were in short supply now and the demand wasn't urgent, they preferred to secure the goods first and consider raising prices for more needy Sects in the future.
With this mindset, they eventually divided all the caravan's goods evenly among themselves.
Their payment for the Spiritual Objects didn't consist solely of Spirit Stones; it also included some unique Spiritual Objects from the Southern Region. These items could be sold in shops on the Fengwu Continent or used as materials.
Due to the large variety of goods, both sides needed to inspect the items, and the entire trading process lasted for more than half a month before finally concluding.
As Xu Lun watched the Sects carefully escort their goods away, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the first transaction with the Southern Region had been successfully completed.
The profit from this transaction was at least double, and as the fleet headed back, each transport Flying Boat was filled with Spirit Stones and various Spiritual Objects.
"Set sail! Let's head back!"
With several long shouts, the fleet departed from the coast, setting sail once again to the west.
Four months later, the fleet successfully sailed out of the Desolate Spirit Sea, and everyone on board wore expressions of fatigue.
During their journey through the Desolate Spirit Sea, they encountered a large group of savage beasts. Initially, they managed to defeat some of the savage beasts, killing a portion of them while driving the rest away.
However, these savage beasts persisted and continued to harass them whenever they had the opportunity. Throughout their journey, the caravan had to fight off these creatures continuously until they finally left the Desolate Spirit Sea.
Although they didn't incur any losses, the constant threat had kept them on edge and exhausted.
Now that they had finally sailed out of the Desolate Spirit Sea, everyone's expressions relaxed, and they could take a brief rest.
However, they hadn't relaxed for long when another fleet approached from their side, and it seemed their intentions were directed towards them.
