Chapter 783 - Frostmoon Empire

With his experience from last time, Zhao Fu decided not to work together with any large merchant groups anymore. Even though they were quite powerful and could find things Zhao Fu wanted easily, it was easy for them to attract attention.

As such, this time, Zhao Fu chose some smaller merchant groups, and he would not buy in such large quantities. He would buy an appropriate amount from each merchant group so as to keep the transactions going for as long as possible.

Within the Moonrest Empire, Zhao Fu found a small merchant group called Clear Moon. Zhao Fu did not plan to work with just anyone; he first investigated the merchant groups first, as he did not want to work with any disputable groups that might cause him to make a loss.

The Clear Moon Group’s reputation was quite good, and even though it was quite small, it had good standing. All items were clearly identified and valued, and it was almost impossible to buy anything fake from there.

Zhao Fu was quite satisfied with it, so he chose to work together with it. The Clear Moon Group’s Manager was an elderly ex-soldier who had Stage 3 strength.

Both sides easily came to an agreement; with such a wealthy client like Zhao Fu, the entire Clear Moon Group was ecstatic. In order to get rid of his large amount of equipment, Zhao Fu paid them in equipment at a lower rate. However, Zhao Fu did not care about the small losses as long as his main goal was met.

Every week, Zhao Fu would send people to collect Talisman Stones. Zhao Fu asked the Clear Moon Group to just provide an adequate amount every week and not to unrestrainedly collect them in order to avoid attracting attention.

After finishing up matters at the Moonrest Empire, Zhao Fu set up a teleportation channel and headed to the next Kingdom. There, he found another small merchant group to work with.

In a few days, Zhao Fu had started working together with 30 or so merchant groups in different Grassi Kingdoms. He then went to the Lantong world and planned to continue doing the same thing.

There were fewer Kingdoms in the Lantong world, only 30 or so, but all of them were quite strong. New Kingdoms would not be a match for them at all.

After seeing the Lantong people for the first time, Zhao Fu was quite surprised as to how beautiful their eyes were. They were like two sapphires, incredibly pure and mesmerizing. Zhao Fu found some small merchant groups and started up partnerships with them.

They were spread out over 20 or so Kingdoms, and Zhao Fu was unable to access the rest as some barred foreigners from entering and were completely closed off. Some had relatively racist policies, and others even killed those who were not from the same Kingdom.

Zhao Fu did not even have the right to enter, so he naturally could not work with merchant groups in those Kingdoms. Even if he snuck in, he would be discovered sooner or later, so he gave up on working with merchant groups in those Kingdoms.

After going through the Grassi and Lantong worlds, Zhao Fu headed to the Half-Beast world next to the Grassi world. The Half-Beast people had the bodies of humans and heads of beasts. They were quite ferocious and had slightly crude, bestial personalities.

However, they were actually easier to deal with humans as they did not have as much bureaucracy and regulations; the only requirement was that one had to be stronger than them. As long as one could satisfy this, everything they did would be extremely successful. If one was weaker than them, they would be bullied and suppressed, and could even be killed.

Zhao Fu went to a Half-Beast City and found a merchant group, wanting to work together with them. However, they actually wanted to attack Zhao Fu and kill him.

In the end, they were beaten half to death by Zhao Fu before kneeling on the ground and submitting to him. The more barbaric a world was, the more important strength was, or else one would not have any speaking rights.

In the end, Zhao Fu still chose to work with them, as most Half-Beast people were like this and he did not have much of a choice. Of course, in order to stop them from betraying him, he set some restrictions in their bodies and also gave them some money to make them more loyal.

After going through various Half-Beast Kingdoms, Zhao Fu had already spent half a month outside the Legacy Land. His final destination was the Elf world.

Most of the Elves were quite elegant and kind, and there were some who were more passionate and some who were colder. Some prohibited any non-Elves from even entering.

Zhao Fu was quite familiar with Elves as Great Qin had many Elves. He had a good relationship with Daisy and Asani, and he understood their personalities quite well. As long as he acted elegantly, it would be quite easy for him to get along with the Elves.

Zhao Fu found a few merchant groups to work with in the Elf world, and after dealing with all of this, he had spent one month outside the Legacy Land.

Even though things had taken quite long, he had completed his objective quite well. With all of these partnerships, Great Qin would be able to obtain 16 million Talisman Stones per month, and the price was slightly cheaper than what he had been buying them for before.

16 million Talisman Stones per month would greatly help Great Qin; now, they would not lack Talisman Stones as much.

Now that he had completed this task, Zhao Fu planned to return to the human world. However, he suddenly heard that a Prince from the Frostmoon Empire had contracted a strange poison and that anyone who could cure him would be rewarded with a World Tree seed, a Great City, and one million gold coins.

Zhao Fu was quite interested, mainly because of the World Tree seed. This was something that could not be bought with money because Elf Kingdoms normally never gave outsiders such things.

If Zhao Fu could have a World Tree next to the Fountain of Life, the water that it produced would not just be crude Water of Life. Instead, it would at least be a mid-grade Water of Life, increasing its effects by more than ten times. This was quite important to Great Qin.

Zhao Fu thought about it and decided to try it out. The Frostmoon Empire had a good reputation, welcomed all sorts of races, and was quite friendly. There were many humans living there, and there was not any racism.

Zhao Fu would not go to any Kingdom where certain races were prejudiced against; it would be possible for him to lose his life in such places.

When Zhao Fu reached the entrance to the Frostmoon Empire, he saw that there were at least tens of thousands of people gathered outside. Even if World Tree seeds were useless to most people, just the Great City and one million gold coins were enough to attract countless people.

“Ai!” seeing this sea of people, Zhao Fu sighed, wondering when he would finally be able to enter.

With the palace, a slim Elven man with delicate features and a noble aura lay on a bed and suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of black blood.

This gave the people around him a great shock, and a physician quickly ran over to take a look. He then gave out some orders with a grim look on his face.

Soon, an order was given out that the Prince’s condition as getting worse and desperately needed a physician to cure him. Anyone with confidence could directly enter the palace, but those who were useless would be heavily punished.

Hearing that there were heavy punishments, 99% of the people left; it seemed that most of them were people who had just wanted to try their luck and did not have any real skills.
