Chapter 286: The Deal
Chapter 286: The Deal
Qi Yuan glanced at Kan Huan.
Meeting in person allows one to observe more.
"Your talent is somewhat lacking..." Qi Yuan gave an honest assessment.
With Kan Huan's talent, he wouldn't even be accepted into the Grand Merchant Divine Light Sect.
Kan Huan's heart sank upon hearing this, and he asked in a low voice, "How bad is it?"
"It's quite poor. Without a special immortal fate, this life... you'll likely be stuck at the Qi Condensation stage."
"Qi Condensation?" Kan Huan hadn't heard of this term before and pondered it carefully, "This is... one of the Immortal Cultivation Stages, I wonder if Mr. Qi could explain it."
"There are seven stages in Immortal Cultivation: Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Primordial Core, Divine Infant, Purple Mansion, Dark Deity, and Yang Deity.
Qi Condensation is the weakest, while Yang Deity is the strongest," Qi Yuan explained briefly.
After all, the other party was a big client, and Qi Yuan was quite considerate.
Kan Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this, especially when Qi Yuan mentioned the Primordial Core. His body trembled slightly, imperceptibly.
"I wonder, at a high level of cultivation, can one... resist firearms?" Kan Huan asked softly.
"You're not very ambitious, but of course." The Yang Deity stage was no joke; one punch could destroy the world.
Even without mentioning the Yang Deity stage, a Divine Infant or Primordial Core cultivator could turn Qin Yuan Kingdom upside down.
"Can it handle the Radiating Beam Gun too?" Kan Huan asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The Radiating Beam Gun was a special firearm, a high-precision weapon from Cansan Star, considered second-tier.
This firearm was somewhat similar to the electromagnetic gun concept from Qi Yuan's previous life on Bluestar.
Instead of bullets, it fired a beam of light with exceptional penetration power, effective only against living beings, causing cellular damage through radiation.
"I haven't seen the Radiating Beam Gun, but it should be fine." Qi Yuan casually took a sip from a red beverage.
The bullets of the Radiating Beam Gun were incredibly fast, almost at the speed of light.
Ordinary Dark Deity cultivators didn't possess such speed, but even if they were hit by this gun, they'd be unharmed.
Moreover, the gun's activation depended on the user, and a cultivator only needed to be faster than the shooter.
Qi Yuan surveyed the various firearms on the table and asked, "Are you in the arms trade?"
"Yes, I am. It's a hard-earned living.
If there's any gun you fancy, Mr. Qi, I'll gladly give it to you.
I can also help you obtain a gun license," Kan Huan quickly offered.
In front of Qi Yuan, he didn't display the arrogance of an arms dealer; instead, he was polite and well-mannered.
However, in those small countries, even when facing generals or important figures, he would look down on them, acting supremely arrogant.
"These little toys do come in handy occasionally." Qi Yuan casually picked up a small handgun.
When traveling, the intimidation of a gun sometimes surpassed other methods.
Qi Yuan hadn't encountered firearms in his previous life, and now that he held one, he felt like a child with a new toy.
"I've never held one before. This is my first time. Thank you."
"I'm glad you like it, Mr. Qi," Kan Huan replied with a sycophantic smile.
"Did you bring the money? Let's do the deal," Qi Yuan said, taking the gun and getting straight to the point.
He had two purposes for meeting Kan Huan: the first was to sell the Super Invincible Explosive Art.
"I've prepared the funds and can transfer them to your account at any time. It's just that... the cultivation technique..." Kan Huan hesitated.
"Once the money arrives, I'll give it to you," Qi Yuan said, casually taking a seat.
The table was filled with various firearms and colorful, expensive beverages.
Qi Yuan picked up a bottle of red liquid and drank directly from it.
His taste buds were overwhelmed by the spicy yet sickly sweet flavor.
He put down the red beverage.
"The taste isn't great."
It was hard to deny that after drinking immortal elixirs, these expensive beverages seemed to have the taste of low-quality disinfectant.
Kan Huan watched as Qi Yuan casually drank the expensive beverage, appearing calm and at ease, as if he were in his own home.
Seeing Qi Yuan drinking a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands, Kan Huan finally gritted his teeth and said, "A Zhi, transfer the money to Mr. Qi."
"My card number is 47..." Qi Yuan recited his card number.
Kan Huan sat next to Qi Yuan and cautiously said, "Mr. Qi, there's a minor issue with your account level. There are restrictions on large fund transfers. I can help you upgrade it... is that okay?"
Kan Huan was an arms dealer, but he also had connections and influence in Qin Yuan Kingdom.
In fact, he had deep ties with some military forces in the kingdom.
Under the guise of smuggling, he helped the Qin Yuan military clear their inventory and sell outdated goods.
"Sure," Qi Yuan agreed, finding it convenient.
In Qin Yuan Kingdom, ordinary people's bank accounts were heavily restricted.
Daily transfer limits were in place, and accounts were often frozen.
Upgrading to a higher-level account would prevent such issues.
His bank card level was upgraded.
And on his real-name verified chat software, there was an additional friend request from a bank staff member.
Qi Yuan clicked to accept, and the other party immediately sent a message.
"Hello, I'm from Wei Qin Bank... I graduated from Capital University's Finance Department with a bachelor's degree and completed my master's degree... I will be your personal financial advisor, Mr. Qi..."
Below the greeting message was a lightly made-up profile picture.
At this moment, another text message appeared on Qi Yuan's phone.
Over nine million Qin Yuan coins were deposited into his account.
"Mr. Qi, the money has been transferred. Please check," Huan Kan's heart was filled with anticipation, along with a hint of nervousness.
The money had been paid, so the cultivation technique should be given to him, right? But Qi Yuan's clothing was rather thin, and his attire looked ordinary at first glance, the mass-produced kind. He had no idea where the cultivation technique was.
"Just open the recording on your phone, and I'll recite the technique for you," Qi Yuan said.
"Recite?" Huan Kan was slightly taken aback. "Don't you have a manual or an electronic version?"
"I improvised it. Where would I find the time to make an electronic version?" Qi Yuan glanced at Huan Kan.
"You improvised it?" Huan Kan was stunned for a moment.
You're not even pretending?
"This is my improvisation, and its value... I'm selling it to you for just nine million. You're getting a great deal."
"What? Are you worried about the technique having issues?" Qi Yuan reassured him. "Rest assured, I cultivate using my improvised techniques, and there's no problem."
After all, Qi Yuan was a big client, and he was very considerate and emotionally intelligent.
Huan Kan's heart was in a bit of a mess, and finally, he said, "Okay."
"The Super Invincible Explosive Art consists of 1,300 words. Pay attention as I explain the method of cultivation. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Qi Yuan quickly recited the content of the cultivation technique.
Huan Kan listened intently, feeling that it wasn't enough.
"Did you remember everything? Any questions?" Qi Yuan asked.
Huan Kan shook his head vigorously. He looked at Qi Yuan and said softly, "Mr. Qi, I need to collect some things, and the medicinal ingredients are on the cruise ship. I'll organize them and deliver them to you in about half an hour."
Huan Kan wanted to leave temporarily, giving himself half an hour to find someone to verify the authenticity of this cultivation technique.
"Alright, hurry up. I'm going fishing."
The reception area was spacious, and there was even a fishing platform.
"Okay."
Huan Kan hurriedly left.
After a few minutes, a large package arrived, and an elderly man with an extraordinary aura appeared, accompanied by several male and female researchers in their uniforms. Huan Kan shared excerpts of the cultivation technique with them, asking for a brief study and analysis.
The elderly professor, who specialized in folklore research, spoke up: "These... in just a few sentences, there seems to be a profound truth hidden, it's extraordinary at first glance!"
The old professor was an expert in studying such mystical topics.
"I've read many sacrificial texts and ancient mythical writings, but none have given me this strange feeling... Could there be some special incense in this room?" The old professor muttered.
He naturally didn't know that Qi Yuan's improvised immortal technique contained the principles of heaven and earth.
Such an immortal technique, when heard, thought about, and contemplated, could make one feel refreshed and uplifted.
The young researchers also showed curiosity: "This... is similar to martial arts in some ways, equally mysterious."
In the 16-19 version of the book, there's not a single mistake!
With the development of technology, martial arts were also researched and revealed.
Many researchers believed that martial arts had no future and were limited by the human body.
Cultivating martial arts was seen as less effective than a simple gene injection.
"Could this be a martial arts cultivation technique?" Huan Kan asked involuntarily.
The male researcher shook his head. "It's not martial arts, but it has some similarities with martial arts to a certain extent."
Of course, this similarity was like that between a squid and a mountain.
"If you're willing to share the complete version with us, we might gain more useful information," the male researcher said eagerly.
"No need." Huan Kan refused outright.
Even these researchers and the old professor didn't detect any issues with the technique.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, Qi Yuan had a mental health certificate.
What if it was a made-up technique? These experts couldn't spot any problems and even praised its mysteriousness, so it should be fine.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
As he recalled his previous conversation with Qi Yuan, the latter's image in his mind became more mysterious.
At this moment, in the dressing room not far from the cruise ship, Wu Qi looked at herself in the mirror, her expression satisfied.
"This makeup is okay. Those old women with their beauty injections can't compare to me!"
Speaking of this, she deliberately puffed out her chest.
Thinking of something, she bit her teeth and reached her hand into her dress. She pulled out a pair of pure white lace-trimmed panties, letting them rest on her fair ankles. Her gaze suddenly became determined, and she completely let go.
"Xiao Qi, come quick, the big boss is here!"
The agent's voice echoed, and Wu Qi hurriedly responded.
"Coming!"
She quickly tidied up and rushed out.
In the spacious corridor outside, there were four tall and stunning women. Looking at them, Wu Qi felt a surge of inferiority.
She recognized most of these women as her seniors, and two of them were even foreign celebrities.
Their star power far exceeded hers.
In that moment, her pride and confidence took a hit.
Nevertheless, she lifted her head high, her gaze determined. Although these women had better conditions than her, she had thick skin and could put herself out there.
The five of them stood together, engaged in a lively conversation.
Not far away, on the upper deck of the cruise ship, a man in uniform revealed an excited expression.
"So many celebrities! Look over there... that's Er Jian, the female lead from the movie 'Gene Crisis'. Those long legs and big chest, wow!" A man craned his neck to get a better view.
Wang Xu also widened his eyes in surprise, "Hey, isn't that Wu Qi? She's from our school!"
Wang Xu and Qi Yuan were high school classmates and continued as university mates.
However, they were not in the same class in high school.
Wang Xu was familiar with Wu Qi from school.
In the office, he had boasted about a senior from their school who had become a celebrity. He claimed that he often saw her when he took the school bus.
"I'm so envious of these celebrities. The dresses they casually wear are something I couldn't afford even if I worked my whole life." Wang Xu expressed his admiration.
Although he had a decent job, and even Li Yan, his old classmate, was envious of him, he still paled in comparison to a celebrity like Wu Qi.
Their lifestyles and social statuses were on completely different levels.
Wu Qi had the opportunity to meet important figures and even the elite, but Wang Xu... couldn't do the same.
"From their appearance, they must be attending a private banquet. Damn those capitalists and their second-generation heirs!" The man next to Wang Xu's eyes turned slightly red.
The scandals of the upper class were no secret to the common folk.
Of course, there were still die-hard fans, and people always needed something to spiritually uplift themselves.
Wang Xu smiled, "Don't be jealous, just focus on work."
They were there to deal with a batch of sea monsters.
Some of the smuggled sea monsters had ended up on the Sea Star Ya ship.
He was there on behalf of the Maritime Bureau to track them down.
The person in charge on the Sea Star Ya was very responsible and gave him a portion of the sea monsters.
Of course, most of them remained on the ship.
Although Wang Xu knew about this, he had no complaints.
If even his superiors didn't object, what was the point of him having an opinion?
Both of them took a break from their work, occasionally stealing glances at the distant celebrities.
Unfortunately, their phones had been confiscated on the cruise ship, otherwise, they could have taken some celebrity photos.
At this moment, Wu Qi was unaware that she had been spotted by an alumnus. Her face was adorned with a shy smile as she conversed with her seniors.
"The boss who invited us is an Imperial Marquis and a Viscount, yes, a hereditary one."
Through her senior's words, Wu Qi learned about the big boss they were accompanying.
"He's actually a noble, and a hereditary one at that!" Wu Qi's eyes shone with envy.
Noble titles in Qin Yuan Country were not easily obtained, and a hereditary viscount was among the highest nobility, even possessing their own fiefdoms.
Even in modern times, a hereditary viscount engaging in business would still enjoy tax reductions.
Therefore, many entrepreneurs and bosses would rely on a noble's backing for their ventures.
A hereditary viscount was someone Wu Qi could only look up to.
Just then, a whisper reached her ears, "The Marquis has arrived!"
Wu Qi and the others quickly turned to look, and they saw a tall man in a black jacket step forward. He had a faint scar on his face, but to these celebrities, it added to his charm.
Behind the viscount, eleven burly men carried black wooden boxes, attracting the attention of many.
Huan Kan approached, and Er Jian, with her ample bosom and curvy hips, quickly embraced his arm.
Huan Kan's eyes hid a hint of joy as he scanned the extravagantly dressed women. His tone was rough, "I have a distinguished guest. If you serve him well, money will flow your way."
In front of these people, he didn't bother to hide his true nature, resembling a wild and uncultured nouveau riche lacking noble refinement.
But when facing Qi Yuan, Huan Kan became especially cautious and restrained.
The female celebrities' eyes lit up, especially Wu Qi's. She wanted to know if the hereditary viscount's guest was also... a noble.
After all, if she could associate with a noble, her status and position would change in an instant.
Qin Yuan Country, ruled by ancient nobility, was one of the most powerful nations on the planet.
