Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger-Chapter 329 - 327: Protection from High-Level Officials

"The Heavenly Mechanism Clan has determined that you will be the best partner for my clan, and perhaps even for my mother clan in the future."

"On this basis, while trading with us, our clan will also provide you with some high-level protection."

"The cost of this high-level protection is the source of these reasonable prices."

Xu Feng was slightly startled when he heard these words, but then he quickly regained his composure.

"May I trouble the Elder to explain what high-level protection means?"

"Races that have three or more peak powerhouses in the Second Realm are temporarily determined by our clan as major clans."

"And high-level protection means that you will be free from the intrusion of such level powers."

"If, in a war between clans of the same level, the Human Clan is facing destruction, my clan will be able to protect you," said the Heavenly Mechanism Clan’s Second Realm powerhouse, looking indifferent.

"Do you intend to monopolize the elixirs I will concoct in the future?" Xu Feng asked with a slight frown.

"It won’t be a forceful monopoly, but will be vaguely defined based on the scope of trading between the two parties."

"Once it is determined that you are no longer the best partner for our clan, the high-level protection will be withdrawn."

"Please explain the vague definition, Elder," Xu Feng said earnestly.

Ever since the Human Clan Origin Realm arrived in the Nine Realms Sea, Xu Feng had an idea.

That is, he wanted to trade only with the Heavenly Mechanism Clan for the Holy Pills he concocted, which could keep his identity from being leaked to some extent, protecting himself and indirectly the entire Human Clan.

With the Alchemy Realm he had now shown, if other races detected it, the Human Clan had not enough strength to protect him.

He just didn’t expect the Heavenly Mechanism Clan to have such plans already.

"I can’t explain it precisely. Please understand it yourself."

"Fine, 250,000 it is, but that’s only the price for the Holy Pills."

"For a unique Breakthrough Holy Pill concoction that takes extra time, you need to pay me an additional 50,000 Hongmeng Purple Coins."

Xu Feng thought about it; compared to the other eight great clans in the Nine Realms Sea, the Heavenly Mechanism Clan seemed a bit more reliable, straightforward and outspoken, which was what he preferred.

"30,000 Hongmeng Purple Coins, so our clan can establish a price advantage," the female from the Heavenly Mechanism Clan said, her eyes flashing with a stream of data.

"Deal, let’s start with fifty for the preliminary stage," Xu Feng calculated and said.

"Alright~"

Just as Xu Feng finished this business and was about to return, he suddenly saw a huge Human Clan fleet flying out from the Origin Realm.

The fleet stopped upon seeing Xu Feng’s carriage.

The Taichu Sacred Land’s Supreme Second Elder walked out from the fleet and up to Xu Feng’s carriage.

"Second Elder, you’re also leading a fleet?" Xu Feng asked curiously, as usually, an Immortal Emperor’s presence should be enough for such matters.

"The Nine Realms Sea is always not very peaceful, without a Second Realm powerhouse overseeing, the fleet can hardly venture far."

"This expedition is to explore nearby trade routes and commercial opportunities, and also to buy some Innate treasures that can promote the growth of the Origin Realm," reported the Supreme Second Elder.

"Oh, it is indeed necessary to go out and have a look."

"By the way, does our Human Clan have any commercial talents?" Xu Feng suddenly asked.

"Of course, some of the most formidable in our Human Clan, the commercial geniuses, are on the fleet. Does Saint Master Xu want to meet them?"

"Let them come over, I just happen to have some matters," Xu Feng thought of the Hongmeng Purple Coins accumulating dust in his Spirit Treasure Space.

Instead of letting them sit idle, it was better to hand over some to professionals to manage.

Two middle-aged men and a young man stood excitedly in front of Xu Feng.

The way they looked at Xu Feng was as if they were gazing upon a deity.

"This one is named Shao Yun, who alone, without any backing, has brought a commerce to be ranked within the top five hundred of the Human Clan," first introduced the Supreme Second Elder pointing to the teenager.

"The second one is named Xie Yifan, a talent in commerce for not more than a thousand years, who rose from a junior member of Taichu Commerce to the current General Manager, elevating Taichu Commerce from the original ranking of 72 up to the present 34."

"The third one is Mao Bojin, the best at manipulating the market; he laid out plans for a century, using thousands of Dao Crystals to leverage markets by the tens of millions, finally reaping profits from millions of Dao Realm."

"These three are all amongst the outstanding commercial geniuses of the Human Clan."

As the Supreme Third Elder introduced them, the three excited commercial geniuses respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Co-ruler of the Human Clan, may the Human Clan prosper forever!!"

"Rise, I’ve called you here because there is a matter I need your help with."

As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, the three commercial geniuses became anxious.

"Co-ruler, it’s not about helping, even if you ask us to sacrifice our lives, we are willing," Shao Yun said, overwhelmed.

"It’s not really a big deal."

Xu Feng took out three Space Immortal Device pearls, handing one to each person.

"There are 100,000 Hongmeng Purple Coins stored inside this Space Immortal Device. Use your talent to manage and invest them."

"It doesn’t matter if you lose, but if you make a profit, you’ll receive half of it."

"The time limit is one thousand years."

Hearing the number of 100,000 Hongmeng Purple Coins, Shao Yun and the others immediately froze, their hands trembling uncontrollably holding the Immortal Artifact Space pearls.

"Be bold and do it," Xu Feng said before having the Supreme Third Elder take them back to the fleet.

Sitting in the carriage, Xu Feng watched the fleet leave and slightly furrowed his brows.

Because he discovered that aside from the flagship at the forefront being an Innate Treasure Level Battleship, the rest were all of Innate Spiritual Treasure Level.

This level of warship would barely suffice in the Kunxu Realm, but placed in the higher-tiered Nine Realms Sea, they would seem somewhat conspicuous.

"How exactly are those Innate Treasure Warships crafted?" Xu Feng stroked his chin.

Although he was now a Saint Level Artifact Refiner, he had not yet reached the peak.

"Forget it, I’ll go back and earn some money to buy a few fleets, to avoid danger when outside."

"Xiaoxu, let’s go home~" Xu Feng commanded.

"As you wish, Master!"

Two Taixu Qilins joined forces to directly open a space tunnel to the Xu Family Courtyard.

Meanwhile, knowledgeably, the Taixu Qilins and the carriage Xu Feng was in both gradually shrunk in size.

"Young Master, you’ve returned." The steward approached Xu Feng.

Xu Feng nodded, then proceeded towards the Alchemy Realm.

"Xiaoxu, collect the delivery from the Heavenly Mechanism Clan later on."

He had just received news that the Heavenly Mechanism Clan had already taken orders for three Breakthrough Holy Pills; it was time to earn his keep. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Within the Alchemy Realm, Xu Feng sensed the origin and soul of the alien race customer, an Immortal Emperor.

"This one is actually from the Heavenly Mechanism Clan; I need to study it carefully."

As he said this, Xu Feng took out a large amount of Dao Crystals to transform them into Dao Origin, and then invested the origin and soul into it to begin his research.

"Are all the powerhouses of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan this pure?" Xu Feng muttered while touching his chin and looking at the azure blue Dao Origin.

To refine a specialized Breakthrough Pill for an Immortal Emperor, one must predict the Holy Pill Recipe based on the Dao they cultivated and their soul origin.

"If they’re all like this, then it’ll be easy to handle."

In just half a month, Xu Feng refined a specific Holy Pill for the Heavenly Mechanism Clan, sealing it with a special array that stops time and sending it to the Heavenly Mechanism Clan.

In the following time, Xu Feng began to refine specialized Breakthrough Holy Pills for various races.

This made his understanding of the origins of many races even more thorough.

In the Human Clan Origin Realm, within the Southern Sea Immortal Domain, the once situated Sea Sky Immortal Sect was located.

In a secret realm within the Sea Sky Immortal Sect, a man dressed in Daoist robes slowly opened his eyes, his expression revealing a trace of surprise.

"I’ve finally reached the peak of the Immortal Monarch Realm!"

The man stood up and left the secret realm.

"Xingyun, well done, you’ve lived up to my expectations!"

"Now you go to the Central Immortal City’s Taichu Sacred Land and apply for an Emperor Dao Saint Pill."

"Under normal circumstances, you should be able to get one refined by Sect Leader Xu," said the Sea Abyss Immortal Emperor.

"In what other circumstances?" The man was surprised, as all Emperor Dao Saint Pills are supposed to be refined by the most revered co-ruler of the Human Clan.

"Recently, there are more and more Saint Level Alchemists among humankind, and some Alchemists can now refine Emperor Dao Saint Pills. If you’re lucky enough to get one but still cannot promote to Immortal Emperor,"

"Then the Sect will have to pool money again to buy you another one."

The Sea Abyss Immortal Emperor’s words made the man somewhat afraid.

"Don’t overthink it, go now. And don’t forget to prepare a gift for the co-ruler Xu when you leave."

"Even if it’s not highly regarded, it’s still a gesture of goodwill," instructed the Sea Abyss Immortal Emperor.

"As you command, Sect Leader."

The man left the Sect and went to the Transfer Array in the Immortal City to reach the Central Immortal City.

Once he stepped out, the man was attracted by the bustling Central Immortal City.

Within the Immortal City, as far as the eye could see, everyone of adult age was at least of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Seeing this scene, the man couldn’t help but feel moved, realizing that the Young Spirit Pills introduced by the Human Clan Saint Master a few centuries ago had indeed elevated the overall Realm of the entire Human Clan by a notch.

Now, geniuses and prodigies among humankind appeared one after another. It is rumored that the strongest of those who first took the Young Spirit Pills had already reached the Immortal Monarch Realm and might be able to promote to Immortal Emperor soon.

After arriving in the Central Immortal City, the man headed to the largest mansion in the city.

Holding the gift he prepared with care, the man arrived at the Xu Family Courtyard’s entrance.

At the gate, there were six imposing Immortal Monarchs, disciples from the top Sects and Sacred Lands of the Human Clan, all of whom restrained their auras and queued cautiously.

A Golden Immortal Realm assistant steward stood at the door, painstakingly persuading the Immortal Monarch Realm powerhouses to enter and wait while having tea, but all were politely declined.

Curious, the man sent a mental message to an Immortal Monarch he had met once.

"Zhou Dao-friend, why queue here? Haven’t you all been invited inside?"

"It’s not about the little time. Queuing here to give gifts, the stewards inside will reciprocate with one or several Holy Pills."

"Queuing like this allows those in front to talk more with the steward, and they will receive some suitable Holy Pills in return."

"If everyone were to go inside, the steward might end up giving the same type of Holy Pills due to the crowd."

"This is the experience summarized by Immortal Monarchs who came to give gifts before."

Hearing this, the man also lined up honestly. Cultivating for tens of thousands of years, he could still distinguish which was more important between Holy Pills and face.

"Don’t think we are being manipulative. With or without your gift, you will receive Saint Xu’s Holy Pills."

"Coming here to give a gift is just to choose one that suits yourself," the voice came again.

"Dao-friend, what are you saying? I should be thanking Zhou Dao-friend for informing me of the details; otherwise, I would have missed this opportunity," the man quickly replied.
