Chapter 264: Becoming a Billionaire! Once-in-a-Millennium Group Task, Shaking the Crowd (Part 1)
This was exactly what they were waiting for.
When dealing with reasonable people, business negotiations become a pleasure.
Lin Fan suddenly realized, "Oh, so this is the matter at hand?"
"However, this might be a bit challenging."
Selling technology? That's out of the question.
Only a fool would sell technology.
Of course, it's about selling the finished product! I'll monopolize it and enjoy the benefits.
Therefore, Lin Fan decided to tell a little white lie.
"What's so challenging about it?" Qu SiFei hurriedly asked.
He was genuinely 'hungry'.
He desperately wanted to see his mountains and fields filled with Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck.
"Artificial breeding of Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult!"
"This is a disciple I took in by chance, and after years of research, it's only possible due to his 'unique bloodline'."
"So, it's not that I'm unwilling to help."
"But... this is truly unlearnable and cannot be replicated."
Lin Fan's words were half-truths and half-lies.
The part about the unique bloodline was true.
The inability to replicate was also true.
He couldn't possibly bring out the Fire Kirin for everyone to see and have a good laugh, could he?
At this moment, Lin Fan's expression was sincere, and they could tell that he wasn't talking nonsense. Qu SiFei immediately understood, "This..."
"Fellow Daoist Qu, there's no need to rush."
Lin Fan chuckled lightly, "I understand that your sect highly values the Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck. Moreover, the Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck in our Spirit Beast Garden also have a deep connection with your sect."
"Although I can't help with artificial breeding..."
"I can still manage to spare a few chicks for your sect."
"I'm just not sure if Fellow Daoist Qu will be satisfied with that."
"!!!"
The disheartened Qu SiFei suddenly became spirited.
"Fellow Daoist, you're joking. How can this be unsatisfactory?"
"Fellow Daoist, you're truly..."
"I'm so grateful, I could cry."
If artificial breeding isn't possible, being able to buy chicks is still good!
Don't think about raising them for meat, just keeping them for eggs is already great.
Moreover, what if we're lucky and they hatch a few chicks on their own?
At this moment, Rao ZhiRou spoke up with pleading eyes, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I also want..."
Lin Fan: "!!!"
Jian Zi: "..."
Enough! The Master of Spirit Sword Sect, acting cute in front of me? But...
She was indeed beautiful, her gentle and watery appearance matching her name.
However, could the Master of Spirit Sword Sect be swayed by beauty?
"This..."
Lin Fan hesitated, "Well, since our sects have a good relationship, I can spare a few..."
"Rest assured, I won't take advantage." Rao ZhiRou quickly assured.
"Alright then."
Lin Fan reluctantly agreed.
Qian Yinyang and Zhou Kai were anxious, "Fellow Daoist Lin."
"We were the ones who brought this up first..."
"This... sigh."
Lin Fan smiled wryly, "Alright, since everyone is here, I'll distribute them fairly. I'll give each of you a few, and I hope you'll treat them well."
"Of course!"
Qian Yinyang was delighted and immediately said, "I don't know what Fellow Daoist Lin needs. I'll use what you need in exchange!"
"This..."
Lin Fan smiled and rubbed his hands, "There are indeed some things I need."
"Fellow Daoist Qian knows that I'm referring to matters in the Ethereal God Realm, such as array formation materials and materials required for refining tokens..."
The four sect leaders, who were in high spirits, suddenly realized, "Huh?!"
Wow!
They suddenly understood, and their mouths twitched.
Damn, we get it now.
You little rascal, you're trying to get something for nothing!
Security, array formation, and refining tasks, all to be done by others.
Now, he even wants us to provide the materials.
This guy is unbelievable! They cursed in their minds.
But on the surface, they could only laugh it off, "I see, it's a small matter. Rest assured, it's no big deal!"
"Fellow Daoist Lin, just give us the list."
"Yes, leave it to us."
"We will definitely gather a batch of high-quality materials and won't let you down."
"..."
Being shrewd individuals, they knew they would be at a disadvantage.
But they had no choice.
They needed a favor.
Moreover, only the Moon Embracing Sect possessed the artificial breeding technique, and they couldn't afford to offend them.
A little loss was acceptable.
As long as they maintained a good relationship, they could obtain more in the future.
Furthermore, there were also those cooling spirit herbs!
Even if they couldn't buy the breeding technique, purchasing some spirit herbs to cultivate would still be beneficial.
Therefore...
They all patted their chests, assuring Lin Fan, just short of swearing a Daoist Heart Vow.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoists. With that, I'm relieved."
"Then..."
"Chicks and ducklings, ten each for the four of you, with male and female pairs, how's that?"
Twenty?!
Ahh!!!
Upon hearing this, except for Qu SiFei, the other three gasped in surprise, their breaths momentarily stopping!
Twenty of them?! Such rare ancient Eight Treasures species from the outside world...
Their value was immense!
But after a moment's thought...
The Moon Embracing Sect probably had thousands of them, and they could continuously breed more.
Well, their excitement diminished significantly.
However, having twenty of them was still a great thing.
Even if they didn't consider their practical use, just keeping them for show and prestige was already amazing.
This was a symbol of identity, status, and strength!
But Qu SiFei was a bit conflicted.
He had given so many to the Moon Embracing Sect before.
Moreover, those were adult chickens and ducks, and now he was bringing back twenty chicks?
"Ahem."
"Well..."
"Fellow Daoist, my sect can provide more materials and put in more effort. I noticed that your Spirit Beast Garden is impressive, but it also has some shortcomings."
“
If the number of spirit beasts is not enough and the variety is not rich enough.
"Would it be better to transfer some from our sect to increase the variety and number in the Spirit Beast Garden?"
"Or... I can leave two more elders to help the Moon Embrace Sect make up for these deficiencies and assist in managing the Spirit Beast Garden?"
"!"
"I, I, I!"
The Grand Elder of the Beast Control Sect immediately jumped out, saying, "Sect Master, Lord Lin, let me do it."
"The old man is the Grand Elder of the Beast Control Sect and is very skilled in building Spirit Beast Gardens and raising spirit beasts!"
"This task, who else but me?!"
He raised his head and chest, looking proud, and said, "High Guang, that old fellow, you should remember him, Lord Lin. He might think he's good, but compared to the old man, he's nothing!"
"In my opinion, he should go back to the Beast Control Sect for further training, while I stay in the Spirit Beast Garden..."
"The old man guarantees that within three years, the Spirit Beast Garden will undergo a complete transformation!"
"If I fail, I'll come and see you with my head in hand!"
"Why should it be you?" As the Grand Elder was recommending himself, the Second Elder couldn't help but jump out, "When it comes to raising spirit beasts and building Spirit Beast Gardens... you may not be better than the old man."
"Sect Master, Lord Lin, look at me. I actually have half-demon blood, also known as a 'demon person.' Though it's somewhat shameful, the half-demon blood is a definite advantage in this aspect."
"If I stay, it would be the best choice."
The Third Elder hurriedly said, "You all can do it, but the old man can't?"
"Even if I can't match you, I have my own advantages. I'm very skilled at treating illnesses. Whether a spirit beast is healthy, I can tell just by looking at its droppings..."
"Disgusting!"
"..."
The elders of the Beast Control Sect started arguing and bickering, causing an internal struggle.
Qu SiFei's eyebrows twitched as he couldn't help but scold, "Ridiculous!"
"What are you doing?"
"Making a fuss, what kind of conduct is this?"
"Aren't you just inviting ridicule for nothing?"
"Friend Lin hasn't even agreed yet, why are you so eager?"
Qu SiFei could guess why they were so 'eager,' but... damn it, with so many people here, you start exposing each other's shortcomings, isn't that too embarrassing?
Can't you be a bit more mature like the old man?
He looked hopefully at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's eyes sparkled: "If the Beast Control Sect's experts are willing to help, that would be excellent."
"However, our sect also needs Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck..."
"Let's do this."
"I can give you twenty each."
Twenty each, that's forty in total.
Including our own... if we don't count the batch from the Moon Embrace Sect, the number of Ancient Eight Treasures we have is almost equivalent to the entire Immortal Martial Continent, right?
"Excellent!!!"
Qu SiFei was overjoyed.
"Friend, rest assured. Once I return, I'll immediately gather people, prepare the materials for the formation, and then set up the required formation for the Ethereal Realm."
He then waved his hand grandly, "Within three years, there's no need for Friend Lin to worry about the materials!!!"
"Then let's settle it like this."
Lin Fan nodded with a smile.
Fan Jianqiang, who was watching from the corner, was completely flabbergasted.
"Damn."
"Is this what Master does?"
"It feels... like he's not even paying anything, just standing, no, lying and making money! Even sleeping in their bed, with their wife in it?"
Apart from Lin Fan, Fan Jianqiang absolutely understood Lin Fan's operations.
And because of this, he was completely fl1. Taking on this job from the White-Black Academy.
2. Not paying anything, directly outsourcing it.
3. Not only not paying for the outsourcing, but also getting their 'sincerity deposit'!
4. Saying he would buy the materials and manage the whole thing, but now using the Moon Embrace Sect's Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck to 'outsource' this as well.
5. Using the Eight Treasures Chicken and others to get even more benefits!
This... this...
"High, really high!"
Fan Jianqiang was deeply shaken.
At first, he didn't understand why Lin Fan was doing so many things, and many that seemed unrelated, purely a waste of time and energy.
Like making them 'tour.'
But now, he understood.
This is really high-level strategy!!!
...
Qu SiFei was overjoyed.
Rao Zhirou, Qian Yinyang, and Zhou Kai were anxious.
Why should the Beast Control Sect get forty in total?
We want it too, right?!
But...
What else can we offer?
The three of them racked their brains, thinking of ways to get more.
And not just Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck.
They also wanted the herbs, which would require more.
But...
What to offer?
Rao zhi rou's eyes flickered, "Friend, your sect's Sword Dao is also very powerful. How about furthering your Sword Dao?"
"Oh? How so?"
"For example, having more sword techniques and Sword Dao-related cultivation methods?"
"These things, our Spirit Sword Sect can still manage to offer."
"Also, some young talents with good Sword Dao aptitude can definitely come to our Spirit Sword Sect to challenge the Sword Tower! It will be greatly beneficial for their Sword Dao cultivation!"
"..."
"Right!" Zhou Kai suddenly chimed in.
Qu SiFei was speechless, "Right to what?"
"My point is, regarding Sword Dao, the Five Elements Gate might not be much, but when it comes to the Way of the Five Elements, in the entire Southwest Domain, apart from the Holy lands, who else can compete with our sect?!"
"The Five Elements are the foundation of cultivation. Most cultivators spend their entire lives researching one of the Five Elements."
"Daoist Lin, I'm not boasting, but if the disciples of the Bright Moon Sect wish to delve deeper into the Way of the Five Elements, they could easily collaborate with my Five Elements Gate!"
"That would be wonderful."
"I wonder, what do you desire in return?"
Right on cue, Lin Fan no longer needed to pretend and proceeded to negotiate the terms.
"Hold on!"
Before Zhou Kai could speak, Qian Yinyang interrupted again, "Um... Daoist Lin, I wonder if your sect's disciples are interested in the cultivation paths of dual cultivation and Joyful Union?"
"In this aspect, although my sect may not be as proficient as the Joyful Union Sect, we still..."
"Why don't you go somewhere else!"
Zhou Kai's face turned black with anger, "The cultivation paths of dual cultivation and Joyful Union are minor paths, and they are neither completely righteous nor evil. How could a prestigious sect like the Bright Moon Sect possibly..."
"Nonsense! Why are they considered minor paths? Why are they labeled as neither righteous nor evil?"
Qian Yinyang cursed, "As long as one seeks a cultivation partner and cultivates together, and as long as they don't absorb yin to supplement yang or kill ordinary cultivators, what's wrong with that?"
"Moreover, dual cultivation can significantly accelerate the cultivation speed..."
"Then why does the Great Harmony Palace open brothels?"
"Well..."
"That's naturally to increase the cultivation speed, and also to earn some... cough."
As Qian Yinyang spoke, his voice gradually lowered.
This matter was indeed a stain that couldn't be washed away.
"However, Daoist Lin, the cultivation path of dual cultivation is not something that is neither righteous nor evil. As far as I know, anyone with a cultivation partner would engage in dual cultivation, right?"
"How can this still be considered a minor path?"
"This is a grand path, a direct path to immortality!"
"It's only someone like you, Zhou Kai, who would harbor such strong resentment towards the path of dual cultivation!"
Zhou Kai immediately cursed, "What the hell did you just say???"
The two of them started arguing.
Lin Fan quickly intervened, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, there's no need for this."
"Harmony breeds wealth, harmony breeds wealth!"
"You both have valid points, this this..."
"Never mind, I shouldn't play favorites. After all, it's not the scarcity that's a concern, but the imbalance. For this type of collaboration, the Bright Moon Sect will conduct it separately with each of the four sects. How about that?"
"As for the conditions, they will be the same for all. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the two stopped arguing.
Everyone would have a chance, and with the same conditions, it was indeed a win-win situation.
However, Zhou Kai seemed a bit restless and said, "Then... can the method of cultivating Spirit Herbs..."
Lin Fan shook his head, "No."
Everyone: "What?!"
"Is this also..."
"Yes!" Lin Fan sighed, "This is also my sect's 'Bloodline Limit', or as others call it, 'Bloodline Divine Ability'. By chance, I befriended a hidden special clan."
"This clan agreed to send their disciples to the Bright Moon Sect for cultivation. I occasionally discovered that they possess this bloodline divine ability, which allows them to cultivate Spirit Herbs faster and better..."
"But our sect's disciples can't switch to other sects, can they?"
"This..."
All four of them were stunned.
How could the Bright Moon Sect's disciples have such powerful bloodline divine abilities? Where did they find so many exceptional disciples?
Rao Zhirou contemplated, "This bloodline divine ability... could it be... a certain ancient god clan?"
"But didn't the ancient god clan disappear long ago?"
"I don't know what an ancient god clan is, but I know they live in a special small world, unwilling to be disturbed by outsiders. Therefore, regarding the details, please forgive me for not disclosing them."
Lin Fan sighed, "So, it's not that I'm being stingy, but I genuinely can't teach you this."
"However, if you truly desire it, I do have two suggestions."
"Of course, we want to know. Please tell us quickly, Daoist Lin."
The four of them regained their enthusiasm.
"First, just like Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck, you can choose to purchase or exchange for Spirit Herbs from the Bright Moon Sect. Whether it's with Essence Stones or bartering, as long as the value is appropriate and the Bright Moon Sect has sufficient Spirit Herbs, normal transactions can take place.
"The price will be ten percent lower than the market price."
"After all, we also have cultivation costs, and our Spirit Herbs are of higher quality than those available outside. I believe you are all aware of this?"
Qu SiFei and the others nodded in agreement.
This was indeed the truth.
"If there's a first, there's bound to be a second, right?"
Rao Zhirou blinked playfully, continuing her cute act.
Lin Fan: "..."
Ignoring the cute act of this Sword Dao senior, he continued, "Secondly, although my sect's disciples cannot change their sect, they can still go to other sects as exchange students for a certain period, helping those sects cultivate Spirit Herbs)."
Swoosh!
The four sect leaders present immediately lit up with excitement.
Qian Yinyang couldn't contain his eagerness, "What are the conditions?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Lin Fan pretended to ponder, "Since they are exchange students... then we should form an 'alliance', right? We should have a non-aggression treaty, shouldn't we?"
"Moreover, if my sect is contributing and helping your sects gain such benefits, it can't just be a one-way street."
"That makes sense!"
Qian Yinyang nodded, "Not just non-aggression, I believe that once we form an alliance, we should also support each other!"
"For example, if the Bright Moon Sect comes to cause trouble in the future, the Great Harmony Palace will be the first to stand against it!"
"Additionally, cough, Daoist Lin, the Great Harmony Palace also has some unique treasures and secrets. I believe they will also be useful to your sect..."
"Absolutely." Zhou Kai chimed in, "My Five Elements Gate also has some."
Rao Zhirou shook her head, "My Spirit Sword Sect has a secret realm that can help disciples awaken their sword heart..."
"My Beast Control Sect..."
"Furthermore, I believe that the materials required for array formations in the Ethereal Realm... my sect will take care of it!"
Rao Zhirou's eyes lit up, "The materials needed for crafting tokens of trust will be provided by my Spirit Sword Sect!"
The four of them eagerly offered their suggestions, one after another.
