Chapter 1048: Selling Spots
After a while, the members of the Liuhe Sect finally left the square and soon disappeared from sight.
The crowd, who had gathered either to observe the battle or to participate in the preliminary selection, along with the eight forces that secured their spots for the final round, all dispersed joyfully.
Su Yi and his companions returned to the inn. Soon after, they noticed Ji Tianfu approaching their door.
“Section Leader Ji, Miss Hanluo, please have a seat. I’ll be finished with my work shortly! We can discuss everything afterward!” Su Yi greeted them quickly, calling for someone to bring tea.
He then turned his attention to Huang Jian, who was diligently writing on a piece of white paper.
“What are you working on?”
Curious, Ji Hanluo leaned over to see what was written on the paper.
“We’re selling spots like this—each one costs fifty thousand. If you buy more than ten, there’s a twenty percent discount!”
Su Yi stood by the table, offering instructions as Huang Jian wrote with focus.
Meanwhile, Ji Tianfu, who had just picked up the tea and was about to take a sip, froze when he overheard.
“Su Yi, are you selling spots?” His expression shifted, and he asked hastily.
He had come here to request spots for his sect but had not expected Su Yi to be selling them. This thought made Ji Tianfu anxious.
From what he had just heard, the price for a spot was fifty thousand Yuan Stones… one-star Yuan Stones?
Ji Tianfu felt his heart race with excitement. If that were true, he could secure thirty spots right away and send all the disciples from Mysterious Sword Gate to experience the second round of tests.
“Not bad,” Su Yi nodded without looking up. “Didn’t the Overlord Sect only allow me to participate in the tournament? We can’t let the other thirty-nine spots go to waste. Selling a spot for fifty thousand two-star Yuan Stones isn’t unreasonable.”
“What?”
Ji Tianfu immediately reached for his ears in disbelief and asked urgently, “Did you say fifty thousand… two-star Yuan Stones?”
He stared at Su Yi, his eyes wide with shock.
“Of course, spots as valuable as these can’t be sold for fifty thousand one-star Yuan Stones. That would be far too cheap!” Su Yi explained as though it were obvious.
“Um…”
Ji Tianfu’s face drained of color, and frustration bubbled up inside him.
He wanted to scream, “Why not just go steal them, huh?”
Ji Tianfu thought silently. He wanted to buy at least twenty spots, but with the price at over one hundred million one-star Yuan Stones, it was a considerable sum.
While Mysterious Sword Gate could afford it, the cost would still be a significant loss.
Ji Hanluo, standing beside her father, had a sour expression. She glanced from Su Yi to her father but said nothing.
“Sect Leader Ji, since we have a good relationship, I’ll offer you a 60% discount for the whole lot!”
When Huang Jian finished writing, Su Yi stood up and smiled at Ji Tianfu. Noticing his sour expression, Su Yi asked in surprise, “Hey, Sect Leader Ji, what’s the matter? You look upset?”
Ji Tianfu hesitated but then seemed to ease a little.
“Well, thirty thousand two-star Yuan Stones is still a bit much, but let’s get straight to the point. Give me a forty percent discount, and I’ll take twenty spots!”
Suddenly, Ji Tianfu raised his hand with a single finger pointed at Su Yi and spoke seriously.
At first, Su Yi was surprised but then smiled and replied, “Since Sect Leader Ji is being so generous, I wouldn’t want to seem stingy. I agree to your offer. Forty percent off means each spot costs twenty thousand two-star Yuan Stones. For twenty spots, that’s four hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones.”
Su Yi finished speaking, took out twenty passes from his space bag, and placed them on the table. He then asked, “Sect Leader Ji, should we settle the payment now, or do you prefer credit?”
Looking at the twenty passes, Ji Tianfu’s expression brightened. He eagerly extended a hand and responded, “Let’s settle it now. Four hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones? I can manage that!”
He pulled out a space bag, sorted it a bit, and tossed it to Su Yi. Afterward, he collected the passes from the table.
“Sect Leader Ji, you’re quite the straightforward person. How about we have dinner here tonight? I’ll treat all the disciples of Mysterious Sword Gate to drinks!”
Su Yi checked the Yuan Stones in the space bag and beamed. He spoke enthusiastically to Ji Tianfu.
“Next time, Su Yi. After the alliance conference, we can celebrate when we return.”
Ji Tianfu shook his head and then added, “By the way, have you considered the proposal I mentioned last time?”
Su Yi smiled faintly and said softly, “I think you already have the answer, right?”
Su Yi knew exactly what Ji Tianfu was referring to—the alliance proposal. During the preliminary selection, he had forced Mysterious Sword Gate to surrender and confront the Green Dark Sect directly, which had clarified matters. It was clear that Su Yi was on board with forming an alliance between Overlord Sect and Mysterious Sword Gate.
“Great! We’ll discuss the details when we return. We’ll talk about everything after the conference ends. I won’t stay any longer. Goodbye for now!”
Ji Tianfu nodded and took Ji Hanluo out of the house.
Su Yi saw them out and closed the door.
But just as they were leaving, Ji Tianfu faintly heard Su Yi’s excited voice from inside, “I’m going to make a fortune…”
The words were soft, but with his keen hearing, Ji Tianfu caught them.
Instantly, his frown deepened.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Ji Hanluo asked, noticing his father’s troubled expression.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go,” Ji Tianfu said with a forced smile.
He had an inkling about something. The price of twenty spots costing two-star Yuan Stones was likely part of Su Yi’s plan. In other words, the price was still negotiable.
However, Ji Tianfu didn’t dwell on it. Getting twenty spots was already a win.
“Hey, can you try not to be so obsessed with money?”
Inside the room, Xi Wuqing helplessly spoke to Su Yi.
Whether it was when Ji Tianfu came here last time or the recent negotiation, Xi Wuqing was always left on his own, completely excluded.
“Hehe… I’m just so excited!” Su Yi giggled with excitement.
Su Yi had already decided on the price of 20,000 Yuan Stones for a spot from the very beginning.
Honestly, he had originally planned to give some spots to Mysterious Sword Gate as he was the one who made the opponent back off the arena, and then he would challenge both the Green Dark Sect and the Sun Flame Sect at the same time.
Besides that, Su Yi felt that Ji Tianfu was somewhat trustworthy, as he had helped him quite a bit. So, he was willing to give away some spots.
However, what surprised Su Yi was that Ji Tianfu didn’t negotiate at all and straightforwardly stated a price.
Su Yi couldn’t just reject the delivered Yuan Stones, so he had no choice but to accept them.
The most important point is that Su Yi is really short of money, and Lingbao Pavilion still has nearly one billion huge debts waiting for him to repay!
Half of the one-year deadline has passed, and Su Yi is feeling very anxious.
“We can compensate them somewhere else in the future!”
Su Yi felt a bit sorry for Mysterious Sword Gate this time and could only consider giving up a bit of profit in the future if there is a chance.
“There are still nineteen spots left, boss, what’s your plan?” Su Xiaoshuai jumped onto the table and asked.
Before Su Yi could reply, Xi Wuqing said, “Be careful when dealing with these nineteen spots. If they are bought by the Seven Star Sword Sect, Golden Sword Sect, or Green Dark Sect, it will surely bring you a lot of trouble in the upcoming conference.”
Hearing his reminder, Su Yi nodded gently to show his agreement.
Those disciples from those sects are no longer Su Yi’s opponents, and it’s not a good idea for them to all rush at him.
However, if they secretly create trouble during the upcoming conference, it will definitely cause some difficulties.
And these things are not the most important; the most important thing is that these people are Su Yi’s enemies. Let them participate in the official alliance meeting, gain benefits from it, and enhance the strength of the enemies. Su Yi can’t do such things yet.
“Actually, I have had a goal for a long time, which is Liuhe Sect. If they are willing to buy everything, then this thing would be perfect.”
Su Yi touched his chin, thinking of those figures who had only nodded to him.
“Liuhe Sect is not weak. You have offended Seven Star Sword Sect, Golden Sword Sect, and Green Dark Sect at the same time, and also joined forces with Mysterious Sword Gate. If you can bring Liuhe Sect to the same camp, there is a big chance to rise rapidly and become a completely new third-rate power,” Xi Wuqing thought and said to Su Yi.
This is also something that Su Yi has considered many times.
The Overlord Sect now has many top-notch experts and is not weaker than those third-rate powers, and even surpasses them.
What they currently lack is grassroots and middle-level strength.
If they want to succeed and rise, it is definitely not enough to rely only on Xi Wuqing, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and others, but the Overlord Sect doesn’t have much backing either.
Currently, the best way is to cooperate with other sects and quickly establish a foothold in the Chaos Realm.
