Fang Yuan nodded, acknowledging the deal.
This price was fair; the Value Gu had driven up the worth of a Gu Immortal's soul.
Since the formation of the four-clan great alliance, the Stone Man Clan in the northern ice field had developed an urgent and massive demand for Value Gu.
However, Value Gu had always been sold in the Yellow Treasure Heaven on a large scale. This scale couldn't be reduced, as one had to consider the long term.
Thus far, despite the close relationship between the Stone Man Clan and the Langya Sect, the majority of the Value Gu output was still sold to the Yellow Treasure Heaven.
This monopoly trade allowed for not only the exchange of Immortal Yuan Stones but also direct trades for numerous immortal materials and other various resources.
Located in the resource-scarce northern ice field, the Stone Man Clan couldn't offer returns sufficient to meet the development needs of the Langya Sect.
The Langya Earth Spirit, for the benefit of the entire sect, would not make the Stone Man Clan the primary trading partner.
The Stone Man Clan harbored some resentment over this, but they were helpless against the Langya Sect.
In short, the production of Value Gu was far from meeting market demand. Especially in the Southern Border, where Righteous Path Gu Immortals frequently explored the Super Dream Realm, their demand for Value Gu in the Yellow Treasure Heaven market was insatiable.
It had even formed a black market for Value Gu.
Some Value Gu were resold at higher prices.
The Langya Sect repeatedly raised the price of Value Gu, and sales remained blistering hot. The entire market was a monster's gaping maw. The Langya Sect had already put forth maximum effort in producing Value Gu, but it simply couldn't satisfy this monster's terrifying appetite.
Among all of Fang Yuan's sources of income, the profit from the Value Gu trade was far ahead, standing out as the sole winner.
It was the biggest reason why Fang Yuan could repeatedly use Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu in battle, and why his Green Grape Immortal Yuan reserves were always easily replenished whenever he ran low.
The Langya Earth Spirit put away this Gu Immortal soul, saying: "Humans are the spirit of all things. With this Gu Immortal soul, we can indeed significantly increase the output of Value Gu next time. It's a pity that Gu Immortal souls are rare treasures. In the future, the main investment in this area will still be at Taichiu. Fang Yuan, if you have time, make a few more trips to Taichiu. The souls of Desolate Beasts and Desolate Plants are far inferior to a Gu Immortal's soul, but they have the advantage of large numbers and a stable source. With your efforts, the development of Taichiu will progress faster."
The Langya Earth Spirit was very optimistic about Fang Yuan's abilities.
But Fang Yuan said: "I'll soon be heading to participate in the Blood Battle Martial Arts Tournament, I'm afraid I won't have time to spare. This is the second Gu Immortal soul. Please inspect its quality, Supreme Elder."
"A second one." The Langya Earth Spirit raised an eyebrow slightly, but wasn't particularly surprised.
He knew some of Fang Yuan's background and wasn't shocked that Fang Yuan would sell a few Gu Immortal souls.
"This is the soul of a Featherman Gu Immortal." The Langya Earth Spirit examined it, somewhat surprised. Feathersmen were oppressed, and Gu Immortals among them were exceptionally rare. He hadn't expected Fang Yuan to possess a Featherman Gu Immortal's soul.
"Did you kill this one?" the Langya Earth Spirit asked casually.
Fang Yuan smiled: "Correct."
This Gu Immortal soul was none other than the Featherman, Zheng Ling. The previous first soul was Snow Pinezi.
The Langya Sect was a sect of the Fur Clan. Regarding the soul of an unfamiliar Featherman Gu Immortal, the Langya Earth Spirit decided to accept it, without any intention of probing further.
Thus, Fang Yuan's contribution points increased by several hundred once more.
Immediately after, he took out the third Gu Immortal soul.
The Langya Earth Spirit smiled: "It seems you're planning a grand clearance sale today. Fine, take out all the Gu Immortal souls you wish to contribute."
"Very well." Fang Yuan began taking out Gu Immortal souls one by one.
He truly had a considerable number of Gu Immortal souls in his possession.
Beforehand, there were Eastern Changfan, Snow Pinezi, Zheng Ling, and others. Later, he had slain a batch in the Black Fan Grotto-Heaven. Finally, in the Chaotic Flow Sea Area, his harvest had been even more bountiful.
When Fang Yuan took out three Gu Immortal souls in succession, the Langya Earth Spirit chuckled.
When Fang Yuan took out six, the Langya Earth Spirit was shocked, and from his seat, he involuntarily straightened his upper body, leaning forward to get a closer look.
When Fang Yuan took out the tenth Gu Immortal soul, the Langya Earth Spirit's expression changed. He pointed at Fang Yuan: "How did you kill so many people?"
Fang Yuan smiled faintly: "It was also due to fortunate circumstances."
He then continued to produce Gu Immortal souls.
Finally, the Langya Earth Spirit saw the floor completely covered with Gu Immortal souls and felt extremely shocked.
"I finally understand why you couldn't make it among the Human Clan and had to join us, the Non-Humans!" the Langya Earth Spirit exclaimed repeatedly.
"You're only at the Sixth Transformation!" The Langya Earth Spirit knew Fang Yuan's foundations, as the Meeting Acquaintance was given by him to Fang Yuan.
"How long has it been since you ascended to Immortal status? In that time, you've also been running around to gain new life. You've killed so many people, it's almost like the younger days of the Ghostly Demon Venerable."
When Fang Yuan heard the name Ghostly Demon Venerable, he gave a bitter smile: "These souls are all being contributed to the sect. Besides that, I also have a vast amount of cultivation experience, Gu recipes from various schools, Immortal Gu recipes, killer moves, Immortal Path killer moves. Even battlefield killer moves, and the latest maps of various domains, to make it convenient for our Langya Sect brothers to travel in the future."
Fang Yuan was conducting a grand clearance sale!
