Chapter 775: Chapter 775: What Does Your Family Do for a Living to Have Such a Big Business?_1

Front Mountain Market at Mount Kahdas.

Carson Flores strolled among the crowd, examining the various goods sold at the stalls on both sides of the road.

The marketplace of a Great Sect that housed a hundred thousand cultivators was very bustling, significantly livelier than the market at Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak in Nutwood Mountain.

Carson was there to buy Dark Iron Raven Essence.

Previously in White Wave City, the Park Family’s caravan had helped him gather all the Dark Iron Raven Essence from the neighboring cities, and the Jaramillo Family in the commercial market had also bought him a batch. In simple terms, he had purchased all the available Dark Iron Raven Essence within a large area.

Since he had arrived at Mount Kahdas and had more than twenty million Spirit Stones, he had to take a look at the market.

Carson inquired at several stalls but found no Dark Iron Raven Essence, which left him somewhat disappointed.

Just as Carson was about to leave, a plump little fellow blocked his path with a warm, enthusiastic smile, "Big brother, it looks like you’ve asked around at a few places and haven’t found what you’re looking for. Can you tell me what you want to buy?"

Carson smiled, "Dark Iron Raven Essence."

The little plump fellow’s eyes lit up, "That’s a rare item, how much do you want?"

Carson asked, "Do you have any? One piece, one foot square, what’s the price?"

The little plump fellow replied with a smile, "Four hundred thousand for one piece."

The price was a bit high but not unreasonable. Carson asked, "What if I buy in bulk? Are there any discounts?"

The little plump fellow’s eyes shone even brighter, "Of course, how much do you need?"

Carson calculated the Spirit Stones he had in his pocket and answered, "Sixty pieces, do you have that many?"

The little plump fellow’s eyes suddenly widened, his gaze turning fiery, "Big brother, sixty pieces, that’s twenty-four million Spirit Stones. You’re not pulling my leg, are you?"

Carson laughed, "We’re strangers, payment upon delivery, how could I be fooling you?"

The little plump fellow immediately became excited, "With such a large quantity, no one else would be able to meet the order, but you’ve come to the right person with me. Give me ten days, and I’ll gather them for you!"

Carson also felt a tinge of joy, "A larger quantity merits a better price, what discount can you offer?"

Instead of answering immediately, the little plump fellow sized up Carson’s identity, "Big brother, which Peak’s disciple are you?"

Carson answered, "Nutwood Mountain, direct disciple of the Cave Master, Carson Flores. I came to deliver a message to Cave Master Tang and took the opportunity to look around here."

The little plump fellow was taken aback and immediately became more respectful, "Brother Carson, nice to meet you. My name is Marcellus Foster, disciple of Tianji Peak. If you really want sixty pieces, you can just give twenty-two million. How does that sound?"

"Deal! I’m staying at the Guest Manor. When your goods are ready, come find me. Cash on delivery!"

Marcellus Foster agreed eagerly, "Alright, I’ll get on it right away."

Carson laughed, "If you doubt my identity, you can verify it with the Guest Manor steward."

Marcellus Foster replied with a smile, "Trust, how could I not trust? Brother Carson, do you need anything else? I can purchase it for you as well."

Carson took out paper and pen and wrote down a list of medicinal ingredients, "These items, can you give me an estimate?"

Marcellus Foster took the list and quickly calculated, "Altogether, three million Spirit Stones, and that’s already a discounted price. Outside, these herbs would cost at least three and a half million."

Carson promptly agreed, "Fine, a total of twenty-five million then."

Previously, Fabian Vasquez had compensated him with twenty million. After subtracting the expenses for the Beast Taming Bag, he had about four million left, and after killing a group of assassins chasing Joaquin Moses, the accumulated Spirit Stones from the corpses amounted to over a million. It was just enough to cover the bill, but afterwards, Carson wouldn’t have much money left.

Marcellus Foster proved to be very capable. In ten days, he appeared at the Guest Manor with a smile, indeed bringing sixty pieces of Dark Iron Raven Essence and numerous medicinal herbs.

Carson didn’t waste words and paid immediately.

Marcellus Foster was quite thrilled; he had made a fortune on this deal!

Marcellus Foster took out a Token and handed it to Carson, "Brother Carson, this is a token from my Foster Family. With this token in hand, you are a VIP of Foster Family Commerce. Activate it with Spiritual Energy, and you’ll be able to see the locations of all Foster Family stores. Our stores span the entire Misrds State, and by presenting this token at any Foster Family store, you will enjoy the greatest discounts. If you need to make any purchases, just choose any store, and they will serve you to their utmost ability."

Carson was slightly surprised, "Spread across the entire Misrds State?"

"Young Master Foster, what does your family do? Your business is so vast?"

Marcellus Foster answered with a smile, "My grandfather is Legend Foster, the Peak Master of Yaoguang Peak. We have a lot of family members, and many aren’t suited to cultivation, so they can only do small business to make ends meet..."

Carson realized, as the Peak Master of Yaoguang Peak was one among the top figures of Kahdas, the background of Kahdas and such a heavyweight’s support explained why their stores could be spread throughout Misrds State.

"Young Master Foster, your so-called ’small business’ seems rather impressive."

Marcellus Foster said with a cheerful laugh, "With many people comes large expenses, with many stores, we go for small profits and high sales volume. Brother Carson, please remember to support our business."

Carson laughed, "Certainly. Not to mention anything else, I need at least seventy more pieces of Dark Iron Raven Essence, along with medicinal materials worth several tens of millions..."

Marcellus Foster’s eyes brightened, "Leave it to me. Brother Carson, just make a list, and I’ll take care of it!"
