Chapter 2433 Business Deals, Friends

The emperors who came to inquire did not believe that Chen Qingyuan was overcharging his customers. They remained silent for a while, not because they were worried about wasting resources, but because they were considering how much sincerity they should show.

After a few breaths, the visitor presented a rather valuable gift: "Fellow Daoist, please take a look and see if you would accept it?"

Chen Qingyuan opened the gift box and saw that it contained some top-quality medicinal herbs that had never been seen in China before, which were quite valuable, as well as various artifacts with unique Daoist charm: "Okay."

In addition, Chen Qingyuan also requested a record of the history and culture of the other party's territory, as well as various classic texts.

This is nothing valuable; countless copies can be made in the blink of an eye, and the guests readily accept it.

Having reached an agreement, Chen Qingyuan handed the jade slip he had prepared to the guest.

The jade slip contained a detailed record of Mu Cangyan's life and deeds, as well as the basic information about the strange black mist.

The visitor obtained the jade slip, read it carefully, and thought to himself, "It's excellent value for money!"

Both parties were satisfied with the deal.

In recent days, Chen Qingyuan has sold a total of seven portions, and the results have been quite good.

Before the grand feast began, he stayed near the ancient bronze bell, took out historical records from various worlds, and slowly studied and carefully savored them.

"In the Tao Chu realm, the Yu clan holds supreme power, ruling over all races..."

"The Realm of the Netherworld..."

"The Underworld of Merchants..."

Chen Qingyuan was very interested in the historical traces of other worlds.

After reading through it carefully, a vast amount of information flooded into my mind. I spent a few breaths sorting it out, and it became very clear. There was no mental fatigue.

Once Chen Qingyuan was temporarily free, Gongsun Rong seized the opportunity and hurriedly strode over, cupping his hands in greeting: "Fellow Daoist Chen."

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun."

Chen Qingyuan responded with a slight smile.

"I apologize for disturbing you, fellow Daoist."

Having witnessed the entire process of Chen Qingyuan killing Qin Buqi and learned about Chen Qingyuan's life and past, Gongsun Rong was afraid of offending anyone, so his words and actions were noticeably more cautious than before.

"You are Welcome."

Judging from Gongsun Rong's change in attitude, Chen Qingyuan roughly guessed the reason: the other party must have investigated him in detail, hence the seriousness.

"Fellow Daoist's talent is one in a million. To be honest, when I first found out, I really couldn't accept it."

Gongsun Rong was very honest; even now, he couldn't calm down, and his tone still carried a hint of shock.

Chen Qingyuan humbly replied, "You flatter me."

"I came here today to establish a good relationship with you, fellow Daoist."

A discerning person doesn't mince words, so Gongsun Rong directly revealed his intentions.

"Haven't we already formed a positive connection?"

Chen Qingyuan always wore a warm and welcoming smile. Those who didn't know him would think he was a gentleman and a gentle scholar.

"Yes! That must be it!" Gongsun Rong quickly admitted, feeling quite pleased.

"However, I want to deepen our good relationship even further."

Gongsun Rong was clearly just a skeleton with no flesh left, yet at this moment he revealed a hint of flattery.

"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Qingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

Gongsun Rong: "I am a straightforward person and I speak my mind. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

Chen Qingyuan: "Please speak."

"I wish to accompany you on this journey of creating immortality. If we encounter any danger, I will take the initiative to resolve it, do my utmost, and never back down. If there are any insurmountable problems, then I will have to rely on your abilities."

This grand feast was certainly fraught with great danger. Gongsun Rong knew one thing for sure: if he relied on his own abilities, there was a 99% chance he wouldn't get the opportunity, and he wouldn't even be able to protect his life.

Therefore, he wanted to find an ally to move forward together.

"Of course, fellow Daoist certainly doesn't need a companion whose strength is not equal to yours. Therefore, I would like to offer you a gift, and I hope you will accept it."

After saying this, Gongsun Rong took out a purple, top-grade Sumeru Ring, which contained a large amount of top-tier resources, accumulated by him throughout his life, piled up like a mountain.

Apart from some self-healing elixirs and special resources, all the other good things were placed in this Sumeru Ring and given to Chen Qingyuan as a gift.

Full of sincerity!

The restrictive runes on the Sumeru Ring have been removed by Gongsun Rong.

Chen Qingyuan didn't need to spend much effort breaking the restriction. He simply sent a wisp of his divine sense directly into the ring and took in everything inside.

Even the notoriously greedy Chen Qingyuan was taken aback by Gongsun Rong's extravagance.

Chen Qingyuan couldn't help but think of Qin Buqi's abundant resources, all of which turned to ashes with his death, or were scattered to unknown alien spaces due to temporal and spatial distortions.

It hurts!

Had he known this would happen, Chen Qingyuan would have definitely saved some of his strength and kept a close eye on the spatial artifact that Qin Buqi carried, trying to find an opportunity to get his hands on it.

Too late for regrets, there's nothing we can do.

Now that things have come to this, all I can do is sigh in my heart.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you afraid that after I accept the gifts, I'll turn my back on you?"

Chen Qingyuan held the Sumeru Ring, gently rubbing it between his fingers, gazing at the person in front of him with a half-smile.

“I believe you are not that kind of person.”

Gongsun Rong solemnly replied.

According to the information he gathered, although Chen Qingyuan was greedy and cunning, he was a loyal and righteous person who kept his promises.

That's why Gongsun Rong dared to come and make this deal.

Even if we assume that Chen Qingyuan accepted the bribe but didn't do anything, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Gongsun Rong knew that there was little chance of him surviving this game of immortality, so rather than staying alive until his death, he decided to take a gamble.

The road ahead was indeed fraught with peril, but he would not turn away.

Participating in this ultimate feast is something I will never regret, even if it means death.

"You trust me that much?"

Chen Qingyuan never expected that Gongsun Rong would have such courage.

After thinking it through, Gongsun Rong came over to explain the matter: "Of course."

“Alright, I agree. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely lend a helping hand if you encounter any trouble.”

Chen Qingyuan would naturally treat such a sensible fellow Daoist with sincerity.

"Thank you."

Hearing Chen Qingyuan's promise, Gongsun Rong thanked him with joy.

"From this day forward, we are friends."

Chen Qingyuan had to befriend such a wealthy and powerful friend.

"It is my honor to be friends with Fellow Daoist Chen."

Gongsun Rong inexplicably felt that he was in the right place at the right time. He knew that the path to immortality was indeed impossible, but he was likely to save his life.

To live and witness this unprecedented grand feast of the ultimate path is a great blessing, a worthwhile journey, leaving no regrets in life.

"Come on, have a drink."

Chen Qingyuan was in a great mood, having made friends and gained access to a large number of top-tier resources. He took out two jugs of fine wine.

Can you drink it?

Looking at Gongsun Rong, whose body was nothing but bones, Chen Qingyuan's expression stiffened slightly, and he asked curiously.
