Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 315 0314: Negotiated Cooperation

The private room is gorgeously decorated and has soft lighting.

Ma Yue sat at the table, feeling a little nervous. He didn't know whether Zhao Lide would agree to sign a confidentiality agreement, nor did he know whether the transaction could go smoothly. But he knew that he had to go all out to complete the task for the adults.

Soon, Zhao Lide, who had been sent to invite them, came in.

He had a mustache and a shrewd look. When he saw Ma Yue, he couldn't suppress a smile, revealing a few slightly yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, I just said I would consider it at noon, but you are so anxious."

Ma Yue stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, this matter will benefit both of us, so the sooner the better."

He asked Zhao Lide to sit down, and then had all the arranged people and food and drinks delivered.

Zhao Lide didn't have much extra money to spend here, but now he was invited. Not only was the environment far better than the brothel in the South District, even the spiritual energy inside was richer than outside.

"Brother Ma, you're sorry for the expense this time." Zhao Lide sighed slightly, but his face showed a condescending attitude.

Ma Yue sneered in his heart. If it was because of the other party's special status in the Corpse Manor, why would he waste spiritual stones on such a person? But he smiled on his face: "Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? We earn spiritual stones like this, isn't it for cultivation and enjoyment? As long as we have spiritual stones, it is not a problem to come to this place once a day."

After that, two beautiful, charming and graceful female prostitutes walked in. Behind them were waiters carrying wine and food.

"Serve Brother Zhao well tonight. As long as Brother Zhao is happy, the tip will be yours. Half for each of you."

As he spoke, Ma Yue placed forty spirit stones on the table.

Upon seeing this, the two female cultivators smiled brightly, waved their right hands, took twenty spirit stones each, and then sat next to Zhao Lide and began to pour wine.

"Hahaha, Brother Ma, why don't you come?" Zhao Lide was not polite, hugging her left and right, touching her all over. It was so comfortable.

Ma Yue laughed and said, "Brother Zhao is the protagonist tonight, just be happy."

"No problem! Hahaha, no problem!" Zhao Lide understood what Ma Yue meant and laughed even more happily.

Ma Yue stood up and walked to the window, quietly looking at the pleasure boats on the Zi'an River.

The exquisite pleasure boats moved slowly on the sparkling river, like works of art on the water. The boats were brightly lit, and the sound of stringed instruments and happy laughter could be heard faintly. The two sides of the river were bustling with people, including hawkers, tourists strolling around, and children playing and laughing.

This prosperous scene made Ma Yue feel quite emotional.

He thought of Yufeng Xiancheng, the Xiancheng supported by adults. Although Yufeng Xiancheng is also developing, it will take a long time to reach the level of prosperity of Zi'an County. However, Ma Yue firmly believes that under the control of adults, the future of Xiancheng is full of hope.

Ma Yue knew very well that all of this was the result of the adults' full efforts.

He single-handedly supported the development of the Immortal City and created a stable living environment and cultivation conditions for everyone. He didn't think about what secrets the adults had. He only knew that his current good life, his current cultivation, his family's worry-free life, and the hope that his children would be able to embark on the path of immortality in the future were all given by the adults.

therefore……

Ma Yue slowly turned around and glanced at Zhao Lide.

Zhao Lide was seen laughing and playing with the two women, looking like a smug man. The two women were dressed in gorgeous clothes and smiled sweetly to meet Zhao Lide's various requests.

Zhao Lide had a smug smile on his face. He held a wine glass in his hand and took a sip from time to time, then let out an exaggerated laugh surrounded by women.

Ma Yue's face remained calm and he continued to smile, but in his heart he felt a little disdainful of Zhao Lide's behavior.

But he also understood that in order to complete the adults' mission, he still needed to cooperate with people like Zhao Lide for the time being. Acting in a flower field is always unavoidable.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and continued to wait for Zhao Lide to finish laughing before discussing what to do next.

The atmosphere in the private room seemed a bit complicated, with Ma Yue's calmness and determination on one side and Zhao Lide's indulgence and greed on the other. The Zi'an River outside the window was still bustling, as if telling the prosperity and filth of this world.

Half an hour later, Zhao Lide hugged the two women and made eye contact with him. Seeing this, Ma Yue tacitly asked someone to arrange a rest room.

You don't have to think about what this guy is going to do next.

As Zhao Lide hugged the two women and left, Ma Yue's original smile disappeared. He rubbed his face and continued to appreciate the prosperity of Zi'an River with an expressionless face, as if the laughter and joy on both sides of the river were real.

As a result, another half an hour later, Zhao Lide came back alone, refreshed, but his voice came before his arrival:

"Hahaha, I really made Brother Ma spend a lot of money and wait for a long time tonight."

Accompanied by the sound of the door being pushed open.

Ma Yue smiled again and said, "It's best if Brother Zhao enjoys himself. Then let's get down to business?"

"Haha, okay. Go ahead." Zhao Lide was also very happy to give face to Ma Yue at this time.

Ma Yue nodded and placed the confidentiality agreement on the table.

Zhao Lide looked at the animal skin scroll and frowned slightly: "What is this?"

Ma Yue explained: "Brother Zhao, this is the confidentiality agreement between us and the content of the transaction. As long as you sign this agreement, our cooperation will officially begin. We will proceed according to the agreement. Don't worry, as long as you follow the agreement, you will get the spiritual stones."

Zhao Lide picked up the agreement and read it carefully.

But after he looked at them one by one, he was quite surprised.

As long as you agree to cooperate and sign the agreement, you will get a sum of spirit stones. Ten spirit stones for each subsequent corpse, but if the time of death is within one hour, it is worth thirty spirit stones. If it exceeds one hour, it is uniformly worth ten spirit stones.

His heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he longed for the spirit stone, but on the other hand, he was worried that this agreement would bring him trouble. After all, if he was found out about the corpse of a cultivator, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ma Yue saw Zhao Lide's hesitation and said, "Brother Zhao, you don't have to worry. This agreement is only to protect the interests of both of us and will not bring you any danger. Moreover, as long as we are careful and only use universal storage bags for each transaction, no one will find out."

Zhao Lide was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Ma, I need more spirit stones."

Ma Yue felt relieved when he heard this, but he remained calm on the surface. "Brother Zhao, the 300 spirit stones in the agreement are our sincerity. We can't talk about it anymore."

Zhao Lide stretched out five fingers, "Five hundred spirit stones."

Ma Yue shook his head directly. This price was far beyond his expectations. But he knew that he could not easily refuse Zhao Lide now, otherwise it might lead to the failure of the transaction.

"Brother Zhao, this price is too high. We can only give you 300 spirit stones at most." Ma Yue said, "Don't limit yourself to this. As long as you do a good job and get more than a dozen corpses each time, you can get more than 100 spirit stones. If you can get them within an hour, you can get more."

Zhao Lide shook his head, "No, I won't sign this agreement for less than 500 spirit stones."

Ma Yue fell into deep thought. He knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible. If he could not reach a cooperation with Zhao Lide, the adults' plan would be affected.

After some thought, Ma Yue finally made a decision. "Brother Zhao, the agreement is still 300 spirit stones, and we will not change this. If you disagree, we can only seek cooperation with managers from other departments. As long as we deal with the bodies of ownerless cultivators in the end, we can earn spirit stones that others can't even if they work hard. I'm sure they will be happy."

As he said that, he stood up and added: "Just treat this as a treat for me tonight as I'm getting to know Brother Zhao. The cost tonight is only a hundred spirit stones, no big deal." Seeing that Ma Yue was about to leave like this, Zhao Lide got anxious and said quickly: "Okay, three hundred spirit stones is three hundred spirit stones. But this matter cannot be known to the heads of other departments. Otherwise, I will not continue to cooperate."

Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Of course this is not a problem. It is stated in the agreement. The money and the body are settled at the time of the transaction, so you must abide by it. As long as Brother Zhao cooperates, we can discuss future matters."

Zhao Lide directly signed his name on the confidentiality agreement and pressed his fingerprints.

Ma Yue looked at the signature and fingerprints on the agreement, and seeing that they had not disappeared, his heart was filled with joy.

He knew that the collaboration was a success.

As for how to arrange the people in the burial department, that was Zhao Lide's business. In response, Ma Yue said, "I was arranged to work in the burial department because I am your cousin from my hometown. As your trusted subordinate, it will be convenient for future transactions."

After hearing this, Zhao Lide thought for a moment and felt that Ma Yue's suggestion was good.

Wouldn't it be a deal if we could take the body away under the pretext of asking Ma Yue to do something for us?
So they began to discuss the specific details.

Ma Yue told Zhao Lide that the first batch of corpses must be prepared within three days. As long as they were unrotten, ownerless cultivators' bodies could be dug out from the ground.

Zhao Deli agreed when he heard this. There were too many ownerless tombs of scattered cultivators.

The corpse of a cultivator would not easily rot, and would basically not rot even after being buried for three months. The higher the cultivation level, the less likely it was to rot.

Therefore, for Zhao Lide, this was a large amount of spiritual stones delivered to his doorstep.

Zhao Lide also knew that if he wanted to prevent the burial department from reselling the corpses of cultivators from being leaked, he had to get everyone involved to create a collective benefit.

The people who were paid by the Corpse Burial Department were all casual cultivators who were at the first or second level of Qi training and could not earn any spirit stones. With the extra income and the suppression of their status, it was easy for them to form an alliance of interests.

After the negotiation was completed, Ma Yue paid for the food, drinks and entertainment at the brothel, and gave Zhao Lide 300 spirit stones. Finally, he left with the signed contract.

After he had gone around in circles on the road, he returned to Cheng's house carefully. The main purpose was not to let Zhao Lide find his residence and affect the adults.

He also planned to rent a house near the Corpse Farm after finishing his report, so that it could be separated from the Cheng Mansion in the future, so as to avoid being implicated in any future incidents.

Inside the Cheng Mansion.

After listening to Ma Yue's report, Cheng Zongyang also smiled and said, "I really didn't disappoint you. Then do it according to your method. Also, you can't open the universal storage bag, so every time you trade, let Zhao Lide move the bodies. One storage bag is enough to hold dozens or even hundreds of bodies."

Ma Yue replied, "Yes, I'll remember that. I'll look for the house myself."

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "Okay. You can do whatever you want. In addition, if you don't have enough spirit stones, you can ask Shopkeeper Li for some. I've already told him. Also, if you run into danger, don't worry about keeping it secret. As long as you can leave, find Shopkeeper Li as soon as possible. He will arrange for you to be teleported back to the Immortal City."

"Yes." Ma Yue bowed again in response.

As Ma Yue left, Cheng Zongyang did not stay at home, but prepared to leave Zi'an County to do some business.

Since the people entering and leaving Cheng Mansion have attracted some attention, we will have to move to another place later.

For this place, he could only try it from the mountains.

In fact, the best place should be a nearby village. If you can build a village yourself, you don’t have to worry about more people coming in the future. But the problem is that this method is not realistic.

Therefore, he could only find a place in the mountain and let the mole dig a cave deep into the mountain.

Later on, as long as a protective array and a formation to block spiritual detection are arranged inside and at the entrance of the cave, there is basically no need to worry about people who go into the mountain to explore discovering the existence of the teleportation array.

He did not take the carriage, but strolled back home, dismantled and replaced the teleportation array, and then went all the way to the South Gate.

However, when Cheng Zongyang just arrived at the south gate and was about to leave, he suddenly turned back. As a result, he met several people with stunned faces and paused bodies.

Looking at their stunned expressions, it seemed that they had not expected that Cheng Zongyang, who had been unaware all the way, would actually use such a trick.

Cheng Zongyang didn't care, but walked towards one of the young men with a common face. Sensing his blood and qi, he was only a warrior of the upper third rank.

It can be said that he is extremely inconspicuous in the South District, and is the best candidate to be sent out for tracking.

"Don't worry, let's chat over there?" Cheng Zongyang pointed to a teahouse stall selling tea next to the city wall.

As a result, the other party was about to turn around and leave, but the next moment Cheng Zongyang held his shoulder and said, "Although you can't cause trouble in the county. But if you leave, I don't mind fighting you here, and then the people behind you will send someone to deal with it. Then you will be labeled as incompetent."

"Do you want to know who ordered this?" The young man knew that Cheng Zongyang wanted him to stay.

Cheng Zongyang laughed: "Smart. Are you willing to tell me?"

The young man shook his shoulders, and Cheng Zongyang withdrew his hand upon seeing this.

The young man stared at Cheng Zongyang and said, "Although I don't know why you are being followed, it doesn't hurt to tell you. The Tianluo Gang sent us here. The purpose is to track your whereabouts, that's all."

"We? Who else?" Cheng Zongyang looked in the direction of the person who had left long ago.

The young man responded: "There are only three of us, the other two are from the Red Flame Gang."

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang frowned.

He had already figured out the various forces in Zi'an County. The two gangs the other party mentioned were both in the southern district and were composed of warriors. The strongest one was the innate great perfection.

But there are not only these two gangs in the South District, there are five others, a total of seven gangs distributed throughout the South District.

These gangs are related to the immortal cultivation gangs and family forces in the North and East Districts.

Cheng Zongyang didn't know whether he was being targeted because of the last incident with the Foundation Establishment Pill or because of the many people entering and leaving the Cheng Mansion this time.

But no matter what happened, he didn't want to care. As for whether Su Wuwei and others were captured and tortured to reveal the relevant secrets, he didn't care.

After signing the oath contract, I can't say it even if I want to. If I say it, I will die.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the young man and said calmly, "Go back and tell your leader that it's best if we stay in peace. If you follow me again, I don't mind getting rid of the top leaders of your gang first. I don't have the confidence to do that, you guys can try."

Having said that, he let the other party leave.

This is Zi'an County, and he still wants to do things in the county, so he will naturally not break the rules of the Immortal Sect. But it does not mean that he will endure it if something really happens to him.

I can't do it myself, there are always people who are willing to risk their lives for the spirit stones. There are many tasks with bounties offered by the Immortal Sect branch.
