"It’s fine, I’m not too concerned about the ability, what matters to me has to be a true oddity."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Yara patted her chest and directly said, "You can count on it, they are one hundred percent oddities, and I have the specific information on every oddity involved in the trade."

Seeing the two had finished their conversation, Ye Liuyun suddenly asked Dong Tianyu, "According to the trade ratio you mentioned earlier, twenty oddities require you to provide four hundred deer fetuses. Do you have that much stock on hand?"

By now, Yara and Ye Liuyun had assumed that there must be a sizable breeding operation behind Dong Tianyu. After all, that would explain why Dong Tianyu could have four hundred deer fetuses, since average people, even those who hoard medicinal herbs, wouldn’t stockpile something like deer fetuses.

In response to Ye Liuyun’s question, Dong Tianyu just smiled and did not answer.

Indeed, they were not wrong—Dong Tianyu did have an animal breeding base, but it was within the Cave.

And because it was inside the Cave, coupled with the extremely dense Spirit Energy there, their numbers began to skyrocket without any natural predators.

Since Dong Tianyu demanded species diversity, the Canary responsible for managing those livestock would regularly deal with the mature animals.

With the Storage space available, there was no fear of running out of room to store things after slaughtering a large number of animals.

This led to a situation where, without Dong Tianyu paying much attention, the quantity of meat, eggs, milk, and various vegetables in the Storage space was rapidly increasing.

With Canary involved, Dong Tianyu no longer worried about the trivial matters within the Cave, and at this time, he seldom took things out of the Cave for trade. Even when offering something to his parents, it was usually the frozen goods he had collected before.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to provide his parents with fresh food, it was just that the sources of fresh goods were tricky to explain, unlike frozen ones.

In response to Ye Liuyun’s inquiry, Dong Tianyu just smiled and remained silent.

Seeing Dong Tianyu’s meaningful smile, Ye Liuyun didn’t take it too seriously either. Before Yara and Dong Tianyu finished their discussion, Ye Liuyun excitedly asked, "How much deer meat and deer blood do you have?"

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s question, Dong Tianyu pretended to hesitate for a while before saying, "There’s plenty of deer blood. As for deer meat, if you want to try something fresh, I can get you a few dozen pounds. However, if you’re thinking of trading it, I doubt I can spare much. You probably know the reason why."

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s response, Ye Liuyun nodded.

Yara, seeing that Ye Liuyun was no longer speaking, immediately said, "You two can chat anytime. I’ve come from far away. Couldn’t you let me finish my business first? After I leave, you can chat as much as you want, or even sleep in the same bed, for all anybody cares."

Hearing Yara say this, Dong Tianyu and Ye Liuyun simultaneously spat in disgust and said in unison to Yara, "Who wants to sleep in the same bed with him?"

Seeing their reaction, Yara did not hold back but added fuel to the fire, "Look at that, don’t even say it, your level of harmony really could give many couples a run for their money."

Listening to Yara’s intensified teasing, Dong Tianyu retorted, "Enough talk. Don’t forget, you haven’t got your hands on the goods yet. Picking a fight with me and Xiao Yezi at this time, you’re really bold. I admire that."

Realizing his situation, Yara immediately started to plead, "I was just saying, just making a joke. Don’t take it seriously, alright? If I’m taken to account for this, it’d be like confessing without being pressed."

Seeing that Yara was still joking around with the two of them, Zachary gave Ye Liuyun a meaningful glance. Ye Liuyun instantly understood Zachary’s thoughts and turned to Yara to say, "It seems we haven’t settled on a price for our transaction yet."

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun say this, the jesting expression on Yara’s face immediately disappeared, and then she said to Ye Liuyun with a very serious demeanor, "Right, right, right, we haven’t settled on the price yet. But given the relationship between the two of us, you’ll have to give me a discount on the price."

In business talks, Yara did not demand that Ye Liuyun calculate the price based on Zachary’s rate, but instead started to renegotiate the price with Ye Liuyun directly.

Observing Yara becoming serious, Ye Liuyun did not open his mouth right away as he also hadn’t decided on the price because, initially, due to the items’ specialty, he hadn’t thought about making a profit.

He had assumed that after making the rounds, he could at most get three or five sets; however, as luck would have it, a call revealed that a friend had just received a new shipment, and it was the kind that could easily be resold.

Now the matter had become much simpler, but since Yara had just mentioned that the goods were intended to be used for braised meat sales, even though Yara didn’t know how much Ye Liuyun’s cost price was, after knowing the purpose, she definitely had an estimate for the price.

With the deal Zachary had just made setting the upper limit, and the selling price of braised offal setting the lower limit, it seemed she could freely choose a price within these boundaries.

And, theoretically, placentas harvested from powerful ancient creatures should be much more effective than those from ordinary Sika Deers, yet theory is theory, and reality is reality.

Whether before the catastrophe or now, only the purple river cart and Sika Deer placenta were recognized as medicinal ingredients; the placentas of other livestock were generally treated as offal and turned directly into cold dishes.

After much thought and hesitation, Ye Liuyun did not give a quote based on the specialty items Zachary needed but allowed Yara to use other cities’ specialty goods for the trade.

Ye Liuyun did not engage in a cash-on-delivery scheme; after all, the goods were destined to become offal, and since the price was not high, he decided to simply make a call to have the items delivered back and handed directly to Yara.

After Yara returned, she would estimate a price according to her conscience for the goods she provided and then directly purchase and send the items over.

Yara did not reject Ye Liuyun’s proposal and nodded in agreement to the transaction.

It is still the same principle; despite the ancient creatures’ bodily strength being many times more robust than a regular Sika Deer’s, in principle, the medicinal effects of the ancient creatures’ placentas should be far more potent than those of the Sika Deer’s.

But if one considers their market value, the price of Sika Deer placenta cannot be compared with the placentas of other creatures; after all, one becomes a medicinal ingredient after processing, while the other becomes a dish on the table after braising.

From this, it is evident that there is a temporary and vast chasm between the two.

Having resolved the issue with Ye Liuyun, Yara turned her gaze back to Zachary. Zachary knew what she wanted to ask, so he went ahead and said, "Don’t even think about it on my end; those items aren’t mine, so there’s really no room to negotiate the price any further.

"And a situation like Ye Liuyun’s is not possible for me; I can only deal with cash on delivery. If you agree, let me know in advance the next time you come, and I can help you expedite this batch of Sika Deer placentas.

"You just have to pay within ten days; don’t delay too long. I’m afraid if other people above find out, they might forcibly come to demand their share, considering that after processing, Sika Deer placentas not only become a kind of medicinal ingredient but in the past, many who were unaware of the situation would usually treat it as a dish for braising."

"Don’t worry about that, once Ye Liuyun’s goods arrive, I’ll bring the items and leave immediately. Keep the goods for me; I have a plane, so the round-trip will be quick. So don’t worry about this matter."
