"According to the acquisition contract, all Spirit Rice is valued at twenty Immortal Spirit Stones and seventy-six Extreme Spirits in total." Ji Yueer kept the contract and immediately took out the Immortal Spirit Stone to make the payment on the spot. "Family Head Wenqiu, please check and confirm it, then give me a receipt."

Zhou Wenqiu, with a feeling of excitement, carefully checked the Immortal Spirit Stone and found no issues, providing the receipt on the spot.

With all formalities completed, a weight was lifted off his mind.

Of the twenty Immortal Spirit Stones, he planned to send twelve to Ancestor Cheng Ping, and the remainder distributed among the families according to their shares, allowing the families, who had struggled for some time, to take a breath.

Every family had big businesses, and the annual expenses were huge.

"Immortal Ji Yue, you must stay a few more days in Jiangnan road." Zhou Wenqiu, filled with gratitude, sincerely invited, "I will call on representatives of Fuyun business firm shareholders to properly host and thank the Immortal."

"No need for a banquet." Ji Yueer laughed charmingly, "However, I do have a few small matters that will trouble Family Head Wenqiu."

"Immortal Ji Yue, please speak." Zhou Wenqiu immediately straightened his posture and responded sincerely.

"For this batch of grain from Fuyun business firm, our people will transport all within three months. Please, Family Head, pay special attention to this matter." Ji Yueer said lightly.

"Immortal, rest assured, I’ll personally organize the manpower to help load the goods at that time." Zhou Wenqiu said.

"If the empty granaries are temporarily unused, I need to rent them. Just charge the normal price." Ji Yueer said with a bright smile.

Rent granaries?

Zhou Wenqiu was suddenly invigorated, his eyes lighting up.

Isn’t this clearly sending money? But wait... what’s Immortal Ji Yue planning to do with rented empty granaries?

While Zhou Wenqiu wondered, Ji Yueer continued, "To be honest, these grains need to be transported through bulk methods to the distant Qianyuan Sacred Dynasty for sale. The journey is far and quite troublesome, and can’t be transported all at once."

"Qianyuan Sacred Dynasty?" Zhou Wenqiu’s eyes narrowed.

He couldn’t help but ponder, as expected, it’s far. Though, since the grain price in Tianrui Sacred Dynasty is currently low, despite the journey, there could still be some profit.

However, now the Second Prince is strictly monitoring all passageways, firstly to prevent grain export to nearby Tianxing Sacred Dynasty, and secondly to target Jiang’s. If there’s a way to transport to Qianyuan Sacred Dynasty, the price indeed allows for some profit, but ultimately, it’s hard-earned money.

"Additionally, we also need to purchase more grain." As Ji Yueer spoke, she seemed to finally reveal her true intentions, "If Fuyun business firm is interested, you could cooperate with us. We’ll purchase grain at this rate, regardless of the quantity."

"Is this for real?" Zhou Wenqiu’s eyes shone brightly, his mind rapidly processing.

Jiangnan road has numerous big and small Prominent Families struggling to hold on. If Fuyun business firm buys at three times the highest price, wouldn’t they earn a substantial extra profit?

The only problem is, risk!

What if, after purchasing, Immortal Ji Yue no longer wants it? She has hidden her origins...

As if seeing through Zhou Wenqiu’s doubts, Ji Yueer said with a bright smile, "We can sign a contract and prepay a deposit."

With a deposit, what’s there to fear?

Zhou Wenqiu’s spirit soared, he immediately agreed and drafted another acquisition contract with Ji Yueer, securing the first deposit, ten Immortal Spirit Stones in total.

"Family Head Wenqiu, remember to handle this matter with discretion, even if it means slower buying. Keep it from becoming widely known, or else this business..." Ji Yueer subtly hinted.

"Wenqiu understands." Zhou Wenqiu eagerly responded, "Such business is best known to fewer people. Immortal, rest assured, our Fuyun business firm has been rooted in the Spirit Rice and Spiritual Medicine industry for over a thousand years. Even for our interests, I’ll handle it with care. As for those small families below us, just a little incentive, they’ll surely not dare go against Fuyun business firm."

Ji Yueer nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Zhou Wenqiu had thoroughly regarded Ji Yueer as the God of Wealth, his words filled with reverence for money, "Immortal Ji Yue, are there any other requirements? As long as it’s within our Fuyun business firm’s capability, there’ll be no questions asked."

"There is actually one more task for Family Head Wenqiu’s assistance." Ji Yueer pondered for a moment, "This also happens to be your Fuyun business firm’s forte."

"Immortal, please speak." Zhou Wenqiu’s expression turned solemn.

"Our business group needs large quantities of fifty-year-old Purple Leaf Dioscorea over a long period." Ji Yueer said with a smile, "I wonder if Family Head has any solutions?"

"Isn’t this the basic material for Dan medicine, Little Pei Yuan Dan?" Zhou Wenqiu immediately understood, but frowned slightly, "Though every family plans some spirit medicine fields to grow various grades of Spiritual Medicine, due to rising grain prices in recent years, many families have converted spirit medicine fields to grow Spirit Rice... This has caused a gradual decline in various Spiritual Medicine production, with most families just supplying themselves."

"However, if Immortal Ji Yue needs it, I’ll try to secure a batch."

"I want more than just a batch~" Ji Yueer said with a bright smile, "In addition, I need hundred-year-old Purple Leaf Dioscorea, hundred-year-old Spirit Ginseng, and five hundred-year-old Xuan ginseng."
