I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Of course, although the other party comes from the Beast Taming Workshop and excels at breeding spirit beasts, spirit insects are a completely different matter.

Zhou Changwang valued his role as a "broker."

"Brother Xiu, let’s talk privately."

Taking advantage of the other party not having any customers, Zhou Changwang quickly stepped forward and casually cast a Sound Insulation Technique.

"Hmm? It’s you, kid. What do you want to ask this time?

Or do you want to buy some piglets?"

Brother Xiu squinted his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his small eyes, then he laughed and pointed to a few Boluo Piglets on his stall that hadn’t been born long, asking.

Boluo Pig is a type of smaller spirit beast, the largest of which can only grow to about a hundred pounds. However, its meat is delicious and full of spiritual energy, a favorite among many gourmets.

Very expensive!

Even piglets cost over fifteen Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

"I wonder if Brother Xiu knows any cultivators who raise Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees. I want to raise a colony."

Zhou Changwang straightforwardly asked directly.

"Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees? Hold on a moment..."

Brother Xiu was stunned for a moment, then took out a Jade Scroll from his storage bag and began to explore it.

As a broker, the most important thing is to understand information and manage resources. In the cultivation realm, information sources are quite mixed. Cultivators have strong memories, but they will sometimes forget or have errors.

Hence, "Brother Xiu" uses a Jade Scroll to record the information and knowledge that he understands and controls.

Some of this information and knowledge is useless, while others can be sold for spirit stones, depending on whether there is interest.

Having been in the business for years, the amount of information within his Jade Scroll is immense. He can’t remember everything, so he needs to check through the Jade Scroll...

After a good while, Brother Xiu finally put the Jade Scroll away and said, "There are indeed two."

After speaking, he didn’t say another word, merely looking at Zhou Changwang.

Zhou Changwang understood his routine and smoothly handed over a Lower-Grade Spirit Stone.

"Not enough.

These two are insect cultivators with quite eccentric personalities. If they find out I sold their information, they could make trouble for me.

So, you need to pay more."

Brother Xiu said, his squinted eyes practically not showing any gaps.

Zhou Changwang knew that if the other party said that, he wasn’t afraid of the other party’s threats. But thinking about the notoriously eccentric behavior of insect cultivators, especially after yesterday’s encounter with one, he knew it wasn’t worth the trouble.

So, just as he reached into his bag to pull out another Lower-Grade Spirit Stone, Brother Xiu quickly said: "However, since we know each other well.

It’s not your first time coming to me, so I won’t charge more for the spirit stones.

How about I take you to them, and I’ll help with the negotiations, the price will surely be lower than if you went by yourself.

However, I want a ten Lower-Grade Spirit Stone commission."

Seeing Zhou Changwang still a bit hesitant, he quickly added: "Oh yes, a reminder that these two are at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer.

Do you think your Third-Layer Qi Cultivation can negotiate a good price standing in front of them?"

Zhou Changwang was momentarily silent before agreeing.

In the cultivation realm, strength is respected.

The pressure high-tier cultivators exert over low-tier cultivators is indeed very strong.

In the Independent Cultivator Marketplace, it’s fine; at worst, you don’t sell, and nobody will truly trouble you. There are rules in the marketplace.

However, if you directly seek them out for a deal, negotiating prices can be very tricky. If they demand a high price, will you agree, or not?

Agree and you’ll lose out, disagree and you might anger them, causing more trouble.

Even though his strength isn’t weak, having previously killed a Fifth-Layer Body Refining Cultivator in battle, his strength may not exactly fall short of these two.

But if he had a cultivator of the same realm negotiating the price, it would save a lot of trouble.

Seeing Zhou Changwang nod in agreement, Brother Xiu promptly called someone over to watch his stall and then led Zhou Changwang out of the Independent Cultivator Marketplace.

After a stick of incense, the two appeared at the entrance of a courtyard.

"The person we’re looking for is named Xu Shaofeng, an insect cultivator at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer. Besides raising a colony of Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees, he also keeps two Poison-faced Spiders and a centipede... The reason we’re seeking him first is because his personality is relatively normal. He occasionally helps Spirit Plant Masters eliminate pests at the Spirit Plant Hall and is someone you can ’negotiate with.’

As for the other person, their personality is extremely extreme. If you go to them and don’t agree on a price, they might actually cause trouble for you.

There was a case of a Spirit Farmer finding him for pest removal, but when the price negotiations failed, he directly unleashed spirit insects to ruin their field, leaving them with no harvest..."

Brother Xiu explained, then went forward to knock on the door.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changwang nodded.

An insect cultivator, who wasn’t even directly targeting him, just the spirit bees foraging for food gave him a headache. If an insect cultivator deliberately targeted him, his Spirit Field could suffer severe damage indeed.

As for Spirit Plant Masters enlisting insect cultivators for pest control? It sounds like a joke, but in reality, it’s quite normal.

Geng Metal Finger, Ice Silk Technique... while these are decent insect control methods for spirit farmers, how could they compare to the insect cultivators’ arts of insect attraction and pest control?

It’s all about specialization.
