Castle of Black Iron

However, they both knew that Zhang Tie would not make fun of them on this topic; because emperors never lied; especially on such a solemn occasion.

"4 million..." The deputy head of Emperor NvWa Palace became shortly silent. Closely after that, his eyes shone as he made a resolute decision, displaying his strong charisma and good appet.i.te of Emperor NvWa Palace, saying, "Please offer a price, Your Majesty. Emperor NvWa Palace could take them all!"

 4 million vials of Dragon Emperor"s Medicament were indeed not much for Emperor NvWa Palace. Even if Emperor NvWa Palace couldn"t use them all, they could sell a part of them to others at higher prices. Dragon Emperor"s Medicament was almost available to everyone from commoners to immortal generals. 

"It"s impossible for me to sell all the 4 million vials of Dragon Emperor"s Medicament to Emperor NvWa Palace!" Zhang Tie shook his head as he confidently refused the proposal of the deputy head of Emperor NvWa Palace directly. If he sold all the Dragon Emperor"s Medicament to Emperor NvWa Palace, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would completely become Emperor NvWa Palace"s employee and lose greater invisible benefits even though it appeared to be a simple trade and that Emperor NvWa Palace had sufficient element crystals to buy them. Zhang Tie would never do such a stupid thing even when he was working in Donder"s grocery in Blackhot City, not to mention now. Watching Yao Qianyun"s slightly gloomier face, Zhang Tie added, "However, Emperor NvWa Palace could enjoy the greater part of this batch of medicament..." Zhang Tie said as he held up one finger towards Yao Qianyun, "I could provide 1 million vials of Dragon Emperor"s Medicament for Emperor NvWa Palace annually!"

After hearing Zhang Tie"s last words, Deputy Head Yao turned a bit calm as he asked, "Your Majesty, may you tell me who else you"re going to sell the other medicament to?"

"As for the rest 3 million vials of medicament, I prepared to divide them into many batches. 1,000,000 vials in two batches; 600,000 vials in two batches; 900,000 vials in 9 batches. As the rest 500,000 vials, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace will allocate them for free!" Zhang Tie explained his plan to Yao Qianyun calmly as he said, "Only the immortal generals in Motian Realm are qualified to buy Dragon Emperor"s Medicament. Additionally, the prices vary from their proportions..."

"Could you make it clear?" Even Emperor NvWa Palace could only wait for Zhang Tie to offer a price as the latter took his initiative completely. 

"The price of the 1 million vials of Dragon Emperor"s Medicament for Emperor NvWa Palace is 1 million earth-element crystals. 600,000 earth-element crystals for each batch of 500,000 vials; 380,000 earth-element crystals for each batch of 300,000 vials. As for the 900,000 vials, I prepare to auction them in Dragon Emperor City. Besides immortal generals on different levels, any clan, force or individual could attend the auction of the 900,000 vials..."

"Your Majesty, do you want to sell them to individuals and clans? But how could clans and individuals attend the auction with so many element crystals?" Wu Qiankun finally got an opportunity to ask Zhang Tie.

Whatever, in front of Zhang Tie and the deputy head of Emperor NvWa Palace, Wu Qiankun despite being the general manager of Emperor NvWa Palace in Dragon Emperor City was too humble. He could barely have a chance to interfere with such big cooperation and trade between Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Emperor NvWa Palace; instead, he could only keep silent for most of the time. 

"The 900,000 vials of Dragon Emperor"s Medicament will be sold in terms of underbidding. As long as the buyers could satisfy me with something, I would also accept it even if it was not element crystal..." Zhang Tie said casually.

The moment Deputy Head Yao heard the word undertaking, he had slightly frowned. After Zhang Tie finished his words, he suddenly let out a deep sigh, "Grand Dragon Emperor is really right about you. After enrolling Your Majesty as his disciple, Grand Dragon Emperor will never worry about anything regarding Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace anymore. Your Majesty"s abilities and methods are really admirable..."

"Thanks, Deputy Head Yao!" Zhang Tie replied modestly as he added, "Deputy Head Yao, do you agree with my proposal?"

"Let"s make it a deal then. Emperor NvWa Palace accepts the quant.i.ty and price completely. Dragon Emperor"s Medicament worth that price!"

"Good. We will make our first round of trade on the first day of next month, namely the big trade fair on April 1st in Dragon Emperor City. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could provide 100,000 vials of Dragon Emperor"s Medicament for one time. Emperor NvWa Palace could try them and check whether their effects are as same as those samples. If Emperor NvWa Palace feels satisfied with our medicament, we could continue the rest rounds of trade. If you"re not satisfied with them, Emperor NvWa Palace could regret whenever you want and I will not take any cent from you. If Emperor NvWa Palace wants to continue the trade, you will get the rest 900,000 vials in the next half a year in three batches. As for the payment, Emperor NvWa Palace could pay them off by the end of this year. How do you feel, Deputy Head Yao?"

"Your Majesty has already considered it well. It"s perfect!"

"That"s a deal then! Enjoy our cooperation!"

"It"s my great honor to meet Your Majesty in Dragon Emperor City today. I got to go!" Deputy Head Yao said as he picked himself up, adding, "As General Manager Wu is in Dragon Emperor City, if there"s any change about the agreement, Your Majesty could have someone notice General Manager Wu!"

"Hmm!"

...

After Wu Qiankun and Yao Qianyun left there for a short while, Leng Manxue came to Yangxin Palace.

"The representatives of Emperor NvWa Palace have already left. I"ve had people sent those iron cabinets to Your Majesty"s backroom..."

"Is Emperor NvWa Palace rich?" Zhang Tie suddenly asked Leng Manxue, which slightly shocked her.

"Rich?"

"I mean they"ve got a lot of element crystals in the stockpile?" Zhang Tie squinted his eyes as the deputy head"s appet.i.te really scared him. At that time, although Zhang Tie refused him calmly, his heart was racing. He thought at that time, "d.a.m.n! Do you want to take all the 4 million vials of all-purpose medicament without even quotation? That"s really awesome!"

After thinking about it for a short while, Leng Manxue said, "True. I"ve been told that Emperor NvWa Palace has a far-ancient rarity!"

"A far-ancient rarity? What"s that?" Zhang Tie became spirited at once.

"Only very few people have seen it. It"s said that the rarity in Emperor NvWa Palace could constantly produce four element crystals from the Elements Realm!" 

Zhang Tie was shocked as this rarity sounded really like G.o.d"s Star. "If there"s such a great rarity, didn"t people rob it?"

"You bet. Over the past thousands of years, it"s said that over 3 demon emperors had died in Emperor NvWa Palace for this rarity..."

"Ahh? Really?"

"It"s just a legend. Of course, I don"t know whether it"s true or not. As for the details, I don"t know either. After all, it"s said that any demon approaching Emperor NvWa Palace is destined to die. It"s said that that rarity is in the hand of the head of Emperor NvWa Palace. Across the Motian Realm, besides some powers of Emperor NvWa Palace, n.o.body has ever seen the head of Emperor NvWa Palace. Therefore, n.o.body knows his battle strength. It"s said that the head of Emperor NvWa Palace always wears a set of immortal outfit and a strange mask as the most powerful person in Motian Realm."

"There"re indeed many secrets in Motian Realm." Zhang Tie stroked his jaw as Leng Manxue"s words reminded him of many things. 

"Your Majesty, do you want to make a trade with Emperor NvWa Palace?" Leng Manxue asked.

"Oh, you"ve got it..."

"If not, why did the deputy head of Emperor NvWa Palace come here?"

"Perhaps we"ve got something to talk about!"

Leng Manxue watched Zhang Tie calmly as she said, "Even if you"ve got something to talk about, Emperor NvWa Palace must be asking for Your Majesty"s help. Otherwise, Your Majesty should have paid a visit to Emperor NvWa Palace. Although Your Majesty has a great battle strength and as the inc.u.mbent Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty"s ident.i.ty and battle strength might not be admired by someone in Emperor NvWa Palace. Therefore, the arrival of the deputy head of Emperor NvWa Palace probably indicates that they want to trade something with Your Majesty. Your Majesty might have something that they want..."

Touching his nose, Zhang Tie let out a sigh, "Hasn"t someone told you that if a woman is too clear, she would always make a man feel himself boring..."

"Your Majesty, if you feel the Forbidden City is too tranquil and wants some adorable girls, just let me know. As long as Your Majesty sends a decree, many virgins and female immortal generals will be ready for your selection!"

"What if I want you?" Zhang Tie teased Leng Manxue. 

Leng Manxue remained unchanged but her voice turned cold all of a sudden, "As a member of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, if Your Majesty sends a decree to me, I will follow your order for sure..."

"Hehe, don"t be that serious. I"m just kidding..." Zhang Tie pretended to laugh twice as he stroked his nose, adding, "I indeed have made a trade with Emperor NvWa Palace. If everything goes well, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could receive 1 million earth-element crystals from Emperor NvWa Palace annually..."

Leng Manxue was shocked by 1 million earth-element crystals. As an immortal general, of course, she knew the value of so many element crystals; especially given the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. It meant that Emperor NvWa Palace was transfusing blood for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. 

The problem was why would Emperor NvWa Palace transfuse blood for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace? Leng Manxue could think through as she took a deep look at Zhang Tie. Facing this familiar yet a bit strange man, Leng Manxue felt that this man had special magic as he could solve any tricky problem easily. 

Leng Manxue"s eyes satisfied Zhang Tie"s vanity to a certain degree as he smirked, "There were some boxes of medicament in Warehouse A. They"re as same as that I gifted Wu Qiankun. You could take one box after a while. Just take it as my gift. The medicament is pretty good for women!"

"Ahh? The medicament is useful to female immortal general?"

"You can try..." Zhang Tie didn"t clarify it so as to give her a surprise, "Oh, let President Guan and Hong Yukun meet me in Yangxin Palace!"

"Your Majesty, won"t you go to Dragon Emperor Palace?"

"I will just have a brief talk with them here. No trouble!" Zhang Tie said lazily.

After moving to the Forbidden City, Zhang Tie rarely went back to Dragon Emperor Palace; instead, he often visited Yangxin Palace in the internal court.

"Okay, please wait a minute, I will make an arrangement right now..."

Seeing Leng Manxue off, Zhang Tie finally let out a deep sigh sitting on the main seat of Yangxin Palace. He looked up at the brilliant pattern on the caisson ceiling of Yangxin Palace as if his eyes could penetrate everything in front of him. He then murmured, "I never used to owe people nothing. Previously, I used your brand and your Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to gain some private benefits. I will pay you off with so many element crystals. Later on, with Dragon Emperor"s Medicament, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could continue to stand 1,000 years in Motian Realm even if I leave here..."

Zhang Tie could barely have a real soul mate in Motian Realm.

...

As the Earth-Treasures Department was in Forbidden City, Guan Minjun arrived first...

She looked pretty serious as if she had owed Zhang Tie too much money...
