Chapter 1056: Guru

I represent the Dream Dealer.

Oh, so youre here for the Inky Nirvana Powder?

You were expecting me? Im also here to sell goods, so we can settle the balance later.

The man looked him up and down for a moment before nodding. The usual process of meeting with prospective large clients was discarded as it seemed there was already an understanding of Sages background, or at least as much of one as was needed to conduct a transaction. At the same time, Sage was curious if the gaze lingered a bit too long.

The Dream Dealer forgot to inform me that Id be both buying and selling at the same location. He enjoys keeping me on my toes.

The Guru laughed, I see. It seems even his employees are not safe from his machinations.

Sage gave the man a bow and then left the tent, heading out to check on the unloading operation. Since they were on their way to sell goods, Sage filled the ships hold before they arrived, so it would fit their role as merchants. If Sage brought out the goods on the spot, there was more risk of being discovered, or they might make the connection that delays in unloading corresponded with him not being on the ship. It removed the option of changing what goods they offered for sale to match the needs of their buyers, and possibly higher returns, but they went for volume instead.

Along with some natural treasures that were farmed, there was also a considerable number of Spirit Pearls and Magical Tools created using Spirit Insects as materials. The Inner World still had a second continent dedicated to raising Beasts and Insects. The Dragoons were trained there and many materials were collected which were then used by the Prosperity Company to supply the other continents craftspeople. They also fished, farmed, mined, and hunted their own resources on the main continent, but the Prosperity Company had Sages support so they could use the whole second continent to build wealth for him to use on the outside world.

Thats right, but not just any booze. This is a liquor beyond compare. Once this is finished, itll be time for your part.

More than what Ive already done?

Guan Zhenyan didnt answer him at this point, turning back to check on the apparatus and storing away the bottle at the end of the process. Then he put a cask in its place, smaller than the original barrel, but still quite large. Sage couldnt get any more answers out of him at that point so he left the room and went to his own cabin to train. A few hours later, one of the crew came to fetch him. Sage wasnt sure how the minds of the crew worked. Had the Artifact Spirit given them all personalities? Were they a new form of created life? Or was the Spirit just puppeteering them all? Whatever the case, if it made Xiang Fei Long more effective, then he could deal with the weirdness.

As soon as he entered, Guan Zhenyan handed him the cask, pushing him back slightly, Quickly store this on the Inner World. Put it somewhere safe and cool.

Sage took it over to the Inner World where the researchers started examining the outside of the sealed cask for residue from the filling process. While they were studying the resulting liquid, Sage confronted Zhenyan, Now that youre finished, youll have to explain whats going on.

Its quite simple really. You will age my wine for ten thousand years, then Im going to drink it and our deal will be complete. The debt you owe me will be repaid and we can go our separate ways.

So, do we have to go somewhere specific during the next ten years? Do we have to stay in the Tianxia Capital?

Id prefer we not. The more distance I can put between these people and my wine the better.

Sage laughed out loud hearing this answer as that meant he could finally make his way back home. No longer concerned with doing work in the Tianxia Capital, he could change his appearance back from the look hed taken with the Master Seal and head back to the Lang Clan. Without being on the run and with the strength of his new rank, he no longer had to worry about a rank seven following or tracking him without his knowledge. The trip would take the better part of a year, even with the Shifting Jade Mountain, but he had ten to work with.
