I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1902 - 1895: This Can Be Done

Although the Phantom God Herb is not a forbidden item, its sale is strictly prohibited throughout Luosai Fortress City for a simple reason: the city must hold everything related to Soul Shard Suppressors in its own hands, even if it’s just raw materials.

A single Soul Shard Suppressor is worth 10 Level Seven Crystal Cores, while the public collection price in Luosai Fortress City is as high as 10 Level Nine Crystal Cores.

This is one of the few items with low prices on the black market because, so far, apart from the Fortress City, no individual or organization has the ability to manufacture Soul Shard Suppressors. Even if they collect them, they still have to sell them to the Fortress City in the end.

Under such circumstances, it’s better to give up on this business directly to avoid wasting time and effort, and also offending the rulers of the Fortress City.

Therefore, in this Fortress City, if you want to get Spectral Grass, you can only go through those sales points. Of course, Banak also doesn’t know if Zhang Menglong can buy the Spectral Grass from them, as nobody has ever done such a thing.

"This place is truly grand!" At the sales point for Soul Shard Suppressors, Zhang Menglong initially just glanced over, but this time, he carefully observed.

The sales point has over a hundred floors, each with countless counters and warehouses. Members from various survival teams need to take a number first, then wait in line to purchase, and payment is required when taking the number, just like in a hospital.

Of course, Dao Realm experts have privileges; they don’t need to wait in line. They have special channels and a dedicated client manager, so when Banak came to buy earlier, there was no need to waste surplus time.

As for this visit by Zhang Menglong, Banak also helped him book his own client manager in advance, as he has a good reputation.

"Hello, are you Mr. Baladi?" Zhang Menglong looked around the hall and found the person who had just received Banak.

"You must be Mr. Gu Xiao?" Baladi was quite polite to Zhang Menglong, as Banak is a Dao Realm Martial Artist, and who knows what relationship Zhang Menglong has with him. Offending a Dao Realm expert could be disastrous for them.

Regardless of being client managers, they are highly replaceable, and the Fortress City wouldn’t risk losing potential clients for these managers.

"Yes, are the Soul Shard Suppressors that Mr. Banak needed ready?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"All ready!" Baladi took out a small Crystal Sphere, approximately 5 centimeters in diameter, which seemed to be a kind of space storage device.

"Here are the 150,000 units of Soul Shard Suppressors that Mr. Banak requested."

"We might need to purchase an additional batch," Zhang Menglong said.

"Of course!" Baladi smiled. Client managers earn a 1% commission on every Soul Shard Suppressor sold. The recent transaction was worth 150 Level Nine Crystal Cores, from which he earned 150 Level Eight Crystal Cores.

For him, a Martial Artist of only Divine Cultivator grade five, this is wealth one couldn’t earn from hunting Phantom Profound Beasts alone!

As a client manager, each of them holds many client resources in hand, and nearly every transaction is a major deal. Banak is one of his clients, and not everyone can buy over ten million Soul Shard Suppressors in one go.

People like Baladi sometimes earn several dozen Level Nine Crystal Cores in a month, making such a job very enviable.

"How many do you plan to get this time?" Baladi asked.

Zhang Menglong extended one finger.

"Another ten thousand units?"

Zhang Menglong shook his head.

"A hundred thousand units?" Baladi appeared rather excited.

Zhang Menglong continued shaking his head, "I want a million units!"

"So many! Baladi could hardly believe it; generally, a million units is over half of his monthly sales.

Zhang Menglong directly handed over 1000 Level Nine Crystal Cores.

"Sir, if you purchase more than a million units at once, we offer a 5% discount; you only need 950 Level Nine Crystal Cores!"

"Keep the extra," Zhang Menglong said casually.

Baladi instantly beamed with a more sycophantic smile. They are not restricted in accepting tips from customers, and those 50 Level Nine Crystal Cores would require selling 5 million units of Soul Shard Suppressors to earn, which isn’t achievable in less than three months.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu Xiao. Please wait a moment; for a transaction of this magnitude, we have special procedures that only take twenty minutes to complete."

"No hurry," noticing how his relationship with Baladi had significantly warmed, Zhang Menglong pulled Baladi aside and handed him a pack of pure meat spicy sticks.

"This..."

Baladi quickly glanced around.

He had heard rumors of meat being sold in the trading market, and would have liked to check it out if he weren’t so busy at work. Now, Zhang Menglong unexpectedly had some on him.

"It’s a gift for you; I have a few things to ask," Zhang Menglong said.

"I can’t accept this, it’s too valuable!" Baladi said, knowing even the cheapest meat cost dozens of Level Eight Crystal Cores each.

"Just take it, it’s a small thing I bought, not worth much," Zhang Menglong smiled.

"You sell it?" Baladi’s surprise grew even more exaggerated.

No wonder he casually handed over 1000 Level Nine Crystal Cores; Banak had never bought a million Soul Shard Suppressors at once in their past dealings.

"Ask away!" Baladi couldn’t help but crave the spicy sticks, hoping his wife and children could taste them since his family had never seen meat in their lives.

"Does your Soul Shard Suppressor sales point sell Spectral Grass?" Zhang Menglong asked directly.

"Of course not," Baladi replied, "it doesn’t directly inhibit the effects of Soul Shards on humans, and direct consumption causes hallucinations. Besides the Suppressor production method held by the City Lord, Phantom Grass is worthless compared to weeds. Why ask about it?"

"Can you help me get a batch?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"You want to smuggle Spectral Grass?" Baladi immediately realized.

Prices for Spectral Grass vary between different Fortress Cities and fluctuate each season.

For example, during its growing season, the price is relatively low at a collection rate of 10 Level Nine Crystal Cores per unit.

But during its off-season, when it’s hard to find in the wild, the price skyrockets to 15-20 Level Nine Crystal Cores per unit.

And in more remote Fortress Cities, the current collection price might be 12 Level Nine Crystal Cores per unit.

Of course, people are aware of these price differences, but nobody dares to run such a business—it’s too risky, and if Fortress City administrators find out, it poses great danger.

"Sort of," Zhang Menglong nodded.

"That’s impossible; I can’t do it," Baladi refused, gritting his teeth as he returned the pack of spicy sticks.

"I’ll give you a commission of 1 Level Nine Crystal Core per unit of Spectral Grass," Zhang Menglong said, "I’m ordering a lot; the first batch will need 20,000 units!"

"20,000 units?" Baladi’s eyes widened; based on current prices, the official collection price for 20,000 units of Spectral Grass is 200,000 Level Nine Crystal Cores. Does Zhang Menglong have such an amount?

If he could help Zhang Menglong gain this batch of Spectral Grass, he could directly earn 20,000 Level Nine Crystal Cores!

After a few seconds of struggling internally, he pulled the spicy sticks pack back, "Mr. Gu, it’s possible!"
