Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 683: Profit-sharing

Ou Yangming and Tian Yinghao conversed for a long time at the table. At last, the young fellow gained a rough understanding of how interspatial bags were distributed.

As said by Tian Yinghao, there were very few people that could refine interspatial bags. Therefore, the bags were popular items no matter where and when.

Even among the Humans, not every sect could provide interspatial bags. As for a supreme sect like the Beast King Sect, they would provide 100 interspatial bags or rogue cultivators every year.

Needless to say, 100 interspatial bags were not enough to be distributed, so much so that they could not satisfy even a tenth of the demand in the market.

At this time, the Beast King Sect’s first-generation Venerable One set a rule that rogue cultivators or spirit beasts that wanted to purchase interspatial bags could pay 10,000 spirit ores each as a security deposit. Regardless of how many of them submitted that number of ores, lucky draws would be held at the end.

100 numbers—no more, no less—would be drawn.

With that, it would be up to one’s luck to obtain an interspatial bag.

There was a powerful supervision technique in the Spiritual Realm, hence the lucky draws would be carried out just and fair, where nobody could play tricks at all.

Yes, according to Tian Yinghao, throughout the past generations, many greedy beings had tried to play tricks, but they all faced the same consequence for crossing the line. They ended up being crippled of their cultivation bases and were expelled. If they had relatives and families, they would also be sent away.

After a few times, nobody dared to cheat anymore.

Ou Yangming pondered for a brief moment, then he asked in a deep voice, “Brother Tian, is there no limit to who is qualified to register?”

“How could that be?” Tian Yinghao quickly replied to him, “One must be recommended by beast kings or the Beast King Sect’s affiliated forces to be able to register. Heh, the interspatial bags are refined through hard work by our sect, so how could outsiders be given opportunities without them doing anything?”

“Beast kings?” Ou Yangming was moved. He finally understood something when he recalled the 10,000 Beasts Ridge.

Perhaps this was the Beast King Sect’s distinguishing trait, where they would share a certain amount of profits with alliances in different areas to solidify their position. The only thing was that as compared to the other sects among the Humans, the Beast King Sect was more biased toward the Beasts.

In particular, the beast kings appointed in the different areas were the Beast King Sect’s most formidable alliances.

Tian Yinghao laughed and continued, “Brother Ou, the 100 interspatial bags are only for outsiders. As for our sect, the situation’s completely different.” He paused for a while and explained, “In our sect, we can complete tasks or improve our cultivation bases to reach a certain standard, then we’ll definitely receive an interspatial bag.”

Ou Yangming was moved. “What are the requirements that have to be met for you to obtain an interspatial bag?”

“If one’s martial art cultivation base is at the advanced level, whether one’s a disciple or a spirit beast from our sect, one will be rewarded with an interspatial bag. Other than this, one can also gain credits from completing different tasks. With sufficient credits, one can also apply for an interspatial bag and can easily be approved,” Tian Yinghao answered after some thought.

“What about you?” Ou Yangming grinned and asked.

Tian Yinghao flushed all of a sudden, and he answered embarrassedly, “I haven’t accumulated enough credits yet, but I believe that I’ll be able to reach the target if I work hard for another decade.”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He found it rather funny, but he also had a clearer idea of the position of interspatial bags in the Spiritual Realm.

It was no wonder the vulture was elated after it received an interspatial bag, whereas the spirit beast was extremely upset.

10,000 spirit ores were merely the basic requirement for them to purchase an interspatial bag. As for whether they would end up getting one, it would be up to their luck. Given the situation, not to mention 11,000 spirit ores, even if more spirit ores were required, they would not miss the opportunity as long as they could handle it.

Various dishes were sent to their table, and Tian Yinghao kept filling Ou Yangming’s glass. He wanted to say something, but he kept swallowing his words.

Ou Yangming noticed it and knew what it was, so he asked with a smile, “Brother Tian, is something bothering you?”

Tian Yinghao smiled embarrassedly and responded, “Heh, Brother Ou, I just want to ask if you still have extra interspatial bags with you.”

“You want to buy one too?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded.

“Yes.” Tian Yinghao’s eyes lit up. “If you’re willing to sell it, I’ll offer you 15,000 spirit ores.” His eyes reddened as he stared nervously at the young fellow.

Ou Yangming asked him in return after some thought, “Since you already want to buy one from me, why did you still tell me about how rare interspatial bags are?”

“I want to make friends with you but if I lie to you about this, we won’t be able to become friends,” Tian Yinghao answered without any hesitation.

The young fellow looked deeply at him. Without further ado, he retrieved another interspatial bag and tossed it to him.

Tian Yinghao reached out to accept the interspatial bag, and he was so agitated that his body was shivering. In actuality, when he saw Ou Yangming casually selling an interspatial bag to the vulture earlier, he guessed that the young fellow must have more than one of those bags.

Without the incident at the library, Tian Yinghao would not have told Ou Yangming everything honestly. However, after the experience, even if it was for the sake of an interspatial bag, he would not offend the young fellow, where he would lose the greater for the less.

Despite that, as capable as Tian Yinghao was, he could not have guessed that the interspatial bag was not valuable to Ou Yangming at all. If the young fellow was willing to purchase some materials with Interspatial Attributes, he could refine interspatial bags at any time. Besides, the interspatial bags that he took out this time was a reward that he gained from killing the lizards, so he did not treasure them at all.

Tian Yinghao took a deep breath and put the interspatial bag on the table. “Brother Ou, I’ll ask someone to send the spirit ores here now.”

Since he did not have an interspatial bag, he could not carry his spirit ores everywhere. There would be 15,000 spirit ores, after all, so the sack would be 50% larger than the vulture’s big sack.

Ou Yangming chuckled and waved his hand. “Since you know my name, I suppose you know where I stay too?”

“Of course.” Tian Yinghao was smart, thus he noted right away, “Brother Ou, don’t worry, I’ll send those ores directly to your residence.”

Who knew, Ou Yangming shook his head and asked, “Given that you’re a disciple from the Beast King Sect, you must be very familiar with this place, right?”

“That’s right! Local Rudimentary Disciples like me from the Beast King Sect are very familiar with the market,” Tian Yinghao answered proudly and continued with a smile, “In particular, our blacksmiths and alchemists always come here when they have nothing to do.”

One required materials to practice equipment smithing and pill refinement. Most of the time, the materials provided by a sect would not be enough. This was why blacksmiths and alchemists would often visit the market to purchase some supporting materials, which would not only reduce the cost of their materials but also train their judgment and interpersonal skills. In a way, they could achieve many things in one stroke.

“Okay, I need a few things, and I hope that you can buy them for me.” Ou Yangming nodded and told Tian Yinghao what he needed. In actual fact, the things that he was looking for were not complicated; he wanted to get intact pieces of spirit beasts’ skins, as well as fallen feathers from the Birds. Nevertheless, he had a rather high demand for their qualities, and they must not have been too damaged.

Ou Yangming could find them too if he slowly searched the market, but he did not want to waste precious time on them.

Tian Yinghao happened to be a local from the Beast King Sect. His strength was average, but he would undoubtedly be the best choice to carry out the task.

The man immediately remembered the items that were mentioned by Ou Yangming. He knew this would be the perfect opportunity for him to get close to the young fellow. If he did well, the fellow might even treat him with special respect; if he screwed it up, many other people in the Beast King Sect would want to become friends with the wonderful young fellow.

Once Ou Yangming was done, instead of staying any longer, he got up and returned to his courtyard.

On the other hand, Tian Yinghao entered the market at once. Sure enough, he had his way, by which he looked for the market’s person-in-charge instead of wasting time in the market.

Being a blacksmith from the Beast King Sect, Tian Yinghao had purchased materials from the market numerous times, thus he naturally knew what would be the best way.

He utilized his connections in the sect and did his best to gather qualified items according to Ou Yangming’s requests. After only half a day, he had spent all of his 15,000 spirit ores, but the things that he gathered exceeded his expectations very much.

This was not only because he was a disciple from the Beast King Sect but most importantly, he was also a blacksmith. Even though Tian Yinghao was not a Spiritualist yet, his identity as a blacksmith was enough to make other people treat him with more respect. Furthermore, the things that he gathered were quite previous, hence it was clear that they were not going to be used by an ordinary blacksmith.

Therefore, the sellers guessed that he was running an errand for a smithing master.

Tian Yinghao could be offended, but the smithing masters in the sect must not be offended. As such, once the market’s manager received the list of items, he even reduced the expenses for him and gave him the best resources.

Ou Yangming naturally did not know how Tian Yinghao was treated in the market. As soon as he returned to his courtyard, he closed the door and placed several formation boards nearby.

Those formation boards contained Illusion Attributes. They would not expose someone to mortal danger, but they could easily cause offenders to feel dizzy.

After setting up everything, Ou Yangming gave Big Yellow some instructions, then he retrieved the beast’s skin and feathers that he found this time.

Interspatial bags were valuable, but they could be refined by blacksmiths with Interspatial Attributes. On the opposite, flying carpets were different. At the very least, among the blacksmiths in Danzhou at the moment, nobody was qualified or capable enough to refine one.

If Ou Yangming could refine flying carpets... He would probably be respected by Venerable Ones then.
