After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the vendors still hesitated a bit.
After all, it was only their first meeting; to talk of trust was somewhat premature.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised; he hadn't planned to finish everything in one day.
"You three, hand over your Purple Quality heavenly and earthly treasures to me, and I will settle the accounts."
As Jiang Yuan said this, he pointed to three people in front of him and then took out a backpack card.
"That's about enough for today; the money I brought is only sufficient to buy this much."
Having said that, he ignored the shouting from some people next to him.
Whether it was the suggestions to have Jiang Yuan look more since they could give him a discount, or to give him a part first as a deposit, Jiang Yuan ignored them all.
After squeezing out of the crowd, he stood at the market entrance and handed his backpack card to Shi Ji in front of everyone.
Or rather, to the Earth Element Spirit Clan girl that Shi Ji had become.
"Go sell these first and bring back some cash."
"Okay."
After nodding in agreement, Shi Ji took the backpack card and headed towards the exit of Grotto Heaven.
In a short while, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
Some clever vendors at the market quietly broke away from the crowd and secretly followed her.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sweat.
He was also afraid that the others would follow directly into the Elemental Spirit Clan's Grotto Heaven.
If that were to happen, his plan would fail.
But generally speaking, Human Clan traders in Grotto Heaven wouldn't leave the Grotto Heaven.
Especially when they had a big client here.
After all, these merchants had to pay a fee to enter the Grotto Heaven.
"Let's go, let's head back."
After giving those vendors a glance, Jiang Yuan took Nezha and the others and left the market.
It was getting late, so they decided to find a place to rest and continue the next day.
The grand elder also quietly left the crowd of vendors and returned to Jiang Yuan's group.
Soon, Jiang Yuan noticed that the card of Shi Ji in his mind lit up.
This was the sign that Shi Ji had reverted back to a card.
After waiting a moment for the cooldown period, Jiang Yuan materialized Shi Ji again.
"How did it go?"
"No problem, they didn't go out, didn't follow me."
Shi Ji smiled, handing the now empty backpack card back to Jiang Yuan.
"In at most two days, there should be no problem."
The grand elder stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If nothing goes wrong, by tomorrow someone should have agreed to this method."
"Day after tomorrow, bring the remaining money to them, and most of them will agree."
Speaking, the grand elder shook his head slightly: "Such is human nature. Though not of the same race, they all behave similarly."
"Yes, human nature."
Jiang Yuan squinted his eyes, smiling like a sly fox.
Seeing Jiang Yuan like this, the grand elder couldn't help but laugh joyously: "If this plan succeeds, then we truly won't lack materials for making elixirs."
"Yes, your physical condition, although it can't be improved to Nezha's level, you can still make a lot of improvements," the grand elder pinched Jiang Yuan's arm and chuckled.
Nezha and Shi Ji both have significant origins.
Though Nezha initially had human origins, he later became an incarnation of lotus root.
Nezha's master would not just turn an ordinary lotus section into an incarnation for him.
As for Shi Ji, needless to say, his nature is a stalwart rock.
Zhao Gongming's nature is that of Sun Essence Fire, which also qualifies him as strong in physical terms.
Jiang Yuan couldn't compare to them; even having half of their strength would be thanks to the grand elder's brilliance.
The next day, Jiang Yuan again brought money to purchase some Purple Quality heavenly and earthly treasures.
It was fortunate that there was money backed by a military order, and since previous purchases of cards and material cards were barter trades, Jiang Yuan still had quite a bit of money.
The next day, even more people agreed to Jiang Yuan's idea, expressing willingness to initially place a deposit, then pay the rest after selling the items.
Jiang Yuan agreed, but only to a fraction of them.
Full payments were about half more than yesterday, and the rest of the half just paid a deposit.
Quickly, another day passed.
On the third day, Jiang Yuan returned to the Elemental Spirit Clan's market, settled the payments from the previous day, and this time, even more people chose to pay a deposit first.
"I don't have enough money, can only buy about half."
Calculating this, Jiang Yuan quickly said to the people crowding around.
"Let's not take the full payments first, take those that allow later payments; this way we can get more."
An Elemental Spirit disguised as the grand elder spoke out, and instantly gained everyone's approval.
These two days, many people from the Elemental Spirit Clan had made money, and those who hadn't felt even more distressed.
It's acceptable if everyone is equal, but now you've made money, and I haven't—that's not okay.
Thus, this scene unfolded.
Those who hadn't made money were afraid of earning less than others, so they not only agreed to pay a deposit but even agreed to a smaller amount.
Meanwhile, those who had made money were afraid of earning less than before, so they too endorsed the deposit model.
After a noisy discussion in the crowd, they finally decided to set the deposit ratio to eighty percent.
Such is reality; once one person compromises, everyone else will too.
All to allow Jiang Yuan to buy more and to ideally cater to themselves as well.
Especially these two days, vendors who had transacted with Jiang Yuan on the first day made more money, making others green with envy.
