Bringing the farm to another world

Lingfeng's words were quite clear: we are counting on this kind of spatial equipment to help us exchange for resources to build our own divine kingdom. If you ask us to hand over the spatial equipment, we will have no way to survive. So we can hand it over, but you have to give us some compensation.

The bearded man looked at Lingfeng and said, "Of course we won't force you to a dead end. You can make any requests you have, and we will give you some compensation."

Hearing the bearded man's words, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The other party had agreed, and as long as they agreed, it meant they could talk. Thinking of this, Ling Feng let out a long sigh and then said, "Thank you very much, Elder. I won't stand on ceremony then."

The bearded man nodded, looking at Lingfeng and waiting for him to make his request. Lingfeng pondered for a moment, then said, "The elder said that the price of our spatial equipment is too low. So how about this, we can process it ourselves into spatial equipment and then sell it to you directly? We won't charge more; just fifteen cubic meters of soil for each piece of spatial equipment. What do you think, elder?"

After listening to Lingfeng's words, the bearded man thought about it. He reasoned that if Lingfeng and his group had spatial equipment like this, they could sell each one for at least 100 cubic meters of soil. Even if they bought them at 15 cubic meters each, they would still make a huge profit. This was feasible.

Thinking of this, the bearded man nodded and said, "Sure, but if anyone brings that kind of magical artifact here to be processed, can you help them process it?"

Lingfeng said, "We can improve it. When they buy the underground palace flower from us, they only need one cubic meter of soil. After returning, they can add another three to four cubic meters of soil to complete the basic processing. Then they can bring it back to us to refine that magic weapon into a spatial device, which requires ten cubic meters of soil. So, for each magic weapon, they will only get about fifteen cubic meters of soil. If they want us to help them process the magic weapon, we can help them, but we will completely hand over this business to you. We will still only charge a processing fee of ten cubic meters of soil. As for how much processing fee you charge those people, that's up to you."

The bearded man thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, are there any other conditions?"

Lingfeng said, "There's another condition, or rather, it's not really a condition. We want to do some business in the future, which involves buying some things from Buddha City and transporting them to the Black Sea to sell. Of course, the prices will be the normal prices. We hope to get your permission, Elder."

The bearded man was slightly taken aback by Ling Feng's words, because this was hardly a condition. Buddha City was a place for business, and if Ling Feng and his group could really establish a business route from Buddha City to the Black Sea, they would be overjoyed and wouldn't object. So he immediately said, "Sure, of course, you can buy whatever you want, and we can give you a 20% discount on anything produced in Buddha City."

Lingfeng immediately said, "Thank you, Elder. These are our two conditions. We will no longer accept business for spatial artifacts without authorization. However, we hope that we can continue to sell those three types of seeds. Would the Elder allow this?"

The bearded man nodded and said, "Of course, you can sell whatever you want, as long as you don't deal in spatial equipment."

Lingfeng stood up, bowed to the bearded man, and said, "Thank you, Elder."

The bearded man nodded and then said, "Alright, it's settled then. Go back and take care of it. Send us all your existing spatial equipment, and we'll pay you back according to the price."

Lingfeng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the bearded man and said, "Yes, we'll go back and tidy up now." The bearded man nodded and then said, "Someone come here." With their voices, the bald man who had led Lingfeng into the room earlier walked in. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the bearded man and said, "Elder."

The bearded man nodded, then said to the bald man, "Go with Fellow Daoist Lingfeng to his shop and retrieve all the spatial equipment from there. Pay them for each piece of soil at the price of fifteen cubic meters. Go."

The bald man responded, and Lingfeng followed him, bowing to the bearded man before turning and leaving. After the two left the room, the bearded man looked out the door and muttered, "Looks like they expected this day to come. They're quite clever." For the bearded man, as long as he could monopolize the trade in spatial equipment, that was enough. He was willing to let Lingfeng and the others make some money. He knew very well that if he pushed Lingfeng and the others too far, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing for them.

Although they didn't care about Lingfeng and his group, even if they ran away and stopped doing this business, it wouldn't be a loss for them. However, if it really came to that, they would earn much less, which was not what he wanted to see. Moreover, if Lingfeng and his group hid in the Black Sea, they wouldn't be able to do anything about them. If Lingfeng and his group grew stronger in the future, it would cause them a lot of headaches. Therefore, he never thought of pushing Lingfeng and his group to the brink of despair. The current situation was the best. They still monopolized the space equipment business, and Lingfeng and his group didn't suffer any losses. It could be said to be a win-win situation. As for those who wanted to buy space equipment at a low price, they were just unlucky.

However, after Lingfeng and the others left, the bearded man still got up and walked out of the room. He walked towards the center of the city. In the center of the city, there was a temple. The temple was not very big, and there was no Buddha enshrined in it. Only one person lived in the small temple, namely the Golden Light Buddha.

This small temple consisted of only one courtyard and one building. The building itself was quite peculiar; it had only three walls, lacking a front wall. In the center of the building sat a prayer mat upon which sat a tall, imposing Buddhist figure. He wore ordinary monk's robes, was bald, and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, appearing as still as a stone statue, seemingly devoid of breath or life. Yet, anyone who saw him felt an overwhelming sense of reverence, as if standing before him was an act of blasphemy. The bearded man knelt before the monk, his head touching the ground, and said, "My lord, a person has appeared in the Black Sea who can craft spatial artifacts using a certain plant. I have reached a cooperation agreement with him; he will sell the spatial artifacts to us, and we will have exclusive rights to sell them. This will increase the quantity of spatial artifacts. I wish to lower the price of these spatial artifacts so that more people can afford them."

The monk didn't speak, and the bearded man remained kneeling there. After a while, the monk finally spoke, "It's alright." The bearded man responded, then kowtowed to the monk, stood up, left the room, and walked out of the courtyard. He closed the door, let out a long breath, and then walked back.

He quickly returned to his courtyard. At this time, the person who had gone with Lingfeng to retrieve the spatial equipment also returned to the courtyard. He was standing in front of the bearded man's study. As soon as the bearded man saw him, he opened the study door and went in. The man followed him in. The bearded man said, "How was it?"

The man immediately bowed to the bearded man and said, "Reporting to the elder, we have retrieved a total of forty spatial rings, and I have already paid them six hundred cubic meters of soil."

The bearded man nodded, then asked, "Did they say how many spatial equipment they could refine at most each month?"

The man immediately replied, "They said they can only refine a maximum of twenty spatial equipment per month."

The bearded man nodded and said, "Alright, take this spatial equipment to our shop and make it clear to them that starting today, the price of spatial equipment will be reduced. Each piece of spatial equipment will be reduced to eighty cubic meters of soil. The smaller pieces of spatial equipment will also be reduced by twenty percent. This has been approved by the Lord. Go."

The man responded, then bowed to the bearded man before turning and leaving. After the man left, the bearded man muttered to himself, "Twenty pieces of spatial equipment a month, that's quite a lot."

Meanwhile, Lingfeng was standing in the shop when he said to Songlin, "I'll go back tonight and have a good talk with Fazhen about this."

Song Lin nodded, then said, "We did a very good job this time. To be honest, we really didn't lose out."

Lingfeng smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. In any case, we've made a profit this time. However, we must tell the magic array about this."

Songlin nodded and said, "Yes, we have to tell the magic array. I wonder how things are going with the magic array."

Lingfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I believe that the magic array team will handle things well in the Black Sea."

Song Lin nodded, then said, "Then why don't we close the gate now and leave the city?"

Lingfeng thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's close the door first." After saying that, the two of them closed the door, then put away the Azure Leaf Boat and the inner space magic array, and then headed out of the city.

The news of their departure from the city was immediately relayed to Big Beard. Upon hearing this, Big Beard was unconcerned. He had already guessed that Lingfeng and the others would relay the news back to Black Sea, so he was not surprised. Moreover, the price he paid Lingfeng and the others was not low, ensuring they earned as much as they would. Therefore, in Big Beard's view, there was no reason for Lingfeng and the others not to return, and he was not afraid that they would never come back.

After Lingfeng and the others left the Buddha City, they flew forward for a while before releasing the Azure Leaf Boat. The two of them then used the teleportation array on the Azure Leaf Boat to return to the Black Sea, layer by layer, and finally arrived back at the Sky-Supporting Tree.

When they returned to the Sky-Supporting Tree, they were stunned. They truly had no idea the Sky-Supporting Tree had become like this. Just then, Lingzhu arrived at the teleportation array hall and, seeing their condition, said, "Let's go, the array is waiting for you." The two responded and followed Lingzhu outside. They then flew up another level before entering their designated space. (End of Chapter)
