Cultivation Chat Group (Web Novel)-Chapter 2063: 2063 IOU
2063 IOU
Little Sun sent a message, [№ Tyrannical Song was finally blacklisted by Fellow Daoist Almighty Merchant. The show we have been waiting for for months is finally unfolding before our eyes.]
Several joyful peals of laughter came from the depths of the world of the black lotus.
Little Sun T233 continued, [The next report is serious.]
That little fairy maiden from the Su Clan required a dragon pearl, specifically the dragon pearl of a living true dragon.
Seeing that Tyrannical Song had three dragon pearls in each of his palms, Little Sun speculated that the little fairy maiden from the Su Clan was looking for a dragon pearl on № Tyrannical Song’s behalf.
№ Tyrannical Song required a living dragon’s dragon pearl, and Fellow Daoist Almighty Merchant would be the one to supply it.
The ruler of the Netherworld could use this piece of news in several ways. After all, the ruler of the Netherworld could easily do things that other people had a hard time doing.
Little Sun reported everything in detail to its master, Netherworld Ruler White.

Meanwhile, the Almighty Merchant asked, “So, you just want to borrow the dragon pearl of a true dragon?”
How do I say this…
This price is much lower than what I imagined.
By relying on his reputation, it was almost of no cost for him to find a true dragon friend and borrow their dragon pearl and pay them back later.
Sixteen replied, “Yes, just loaning would be fine.”
“But it has to be a true dragon’s dragon pearl,” added Sister White Dragon. Everything they did would be pointless if they were to lower their standards for this dragon pearl.
The Almighty Merchant smiled and said, “Give me some time then. I’m going to finish an on-going transaction and will be back immediately.”
Before leaving, he waved vigorously at Song Shuhang.
Goodbye, № Tyrannical Song~ After this meeting, we’ll never see each other again!
Song Shuhang looked at the enthusiastic Almighty Merchant and had no choice but to smile back.

Back to the world of the black lotus.
With a professional smile, the Almighty Merchant said to Little Sun You’re Busy T233, “Sorry for making you wait, Fellow Daoist.”
Little Sun T233 smiled gently and said, “It’s fine. I’m not in that much of a hurry.”
The Almighty Merchant said both expectantly and nervously, “Then, let’s finish the transaction.”
Making 10,000 times the profit was very tempting to him.
But considering that the other party was the ruler of the Netherworld, it would be normal for there to be some haggling involved. Therefore, the Almighty Merchant was prepared not to get the agreed sum.
However, it did not mean that he would still proceed with the transaction if the profit dropped too much. If it only dropped from 10,000 times to 7,000 times, he could accept it for example. In the end, Netherworld Ruler White was rather honest, and when he said that he would return his sheet, the Almighty Merchant really did get it back.
It was precisely because Netherworld Ruler White was more honest than the other creatures in the Netherworld that the Almighty Merchant bit the bullet this time and went to the world of the black lotus to carry out this transaction.
If not for that, he would have never accepted to meet the other party there considering their background.
“As for the payment… We’ll give you half the amount for now. We will forward the remaining half after confirming that there are no problems with the goods. This is how they carry out all transactions in the main world nowadays, and we must also keep up with the times. Moreover, we also need to determine whether or not there is any problem with Fellow Daoist’s goods, right?” Little Sun said. “Rest assured, my master is the ruler of the Netherworld, and it is impossible for him to default on the bill. As long as there is no problem with the goods, we will send you the remaining half of the payment within half a month at most.”
Little Sun’s words made too much sense to be refuted.
The Almighty Merchant: “…”
Doesn’t your conscience hurt even a little bit when you said that line?
Is a Netherworld Ruler who never defaults on his debts still a Netherworld Ruler?
Anyway, half of the original amount is still fine.
The Almighty Merchant was mentally prepared to receive only half the payment.
However, half of the agreed price was still 5,000 times the profit, which was a tremendous amount.
Although it was a little less than what he originally expected, it was still within an acceptable range for the Almighty Merchant.
Little Sun T233 continued, “Then, as for the first half of the payment…”
When it got to this point, Little Sun paused for a moment.
“Is there any problem with the first half of the payment?” The Almighty Merchant’s heart tensed up, and he got ready to flip the table.
Even if the other party was the ruler of the Netherworld, when it came to getting his money, he would not budge an inch.
“No, there isn’t any problem with the payment. It’s just that I received a message from my master just now,” Little Sun said gently. “We will give you the first half of the payment right away, and we’ll pay you in spirit stones.”
The rulers of the Netherworld collected spirit stones as well, but the amount was relatively small as they were useless to them.
Of course, the amount was small only when compared to their other treasures. In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, it was still massive.
The Almighty Merchant heaved a sigh of relief.
Little Sun T233 shone a bit brighter. Some investments were required in the early stages, and this first half of the payment was a kind of investment, which Fellow Daoist Almighty Merchant seemed to like.
After a few more transactions like this, they could let the Almighty Merchant go.
“Also, my master is an honest ruler of the Netherworld, so you don’t have to worry about the remaining half of the payment. We will give you a very valuable IOU, which you can use to claim the rest of the agreed amount in half a month at most,” Little Sun T233 added. “You can only use this IOU once, so don’t waste it.”
The Almighty Merchant was stunned for a moment. Netherworld Ruler White was truly a man of noble character among the Rulers of the Netherworld!
In the next moment, Little Sun T233 took out a small box and handed it to the Almighty Merchant. He also brought out a small mountain of spirit stones to complete the first part of the payment.
The Almighty Merchant opened the box and saw a shiny pearl inside the box.
This is… A dragon pearl?
This dragon pearl is full of vitality. It’s the dragon pearl of a living true dragon.
Little Sun T233 smiled and said, “This dragon pearl is of extraordinary significance to my master. Fellow daoist, make sure to cherish it.”
The corners of the Almighty Merchant’s mouth twitched.
He knew how he was supposed to use this dragon pearl.
He was aware of the relationship between Profound Sage Tyrannical Song and Netherworld Ruler White, and that little fairy maiden from the Su Clan just so happened to ask for a true dragon’s dragon pearl…
He had no doubt in his mind that this dragon pearl was prepared by Netherworld Ruler White for Tyrannical Song.
To make use of him and give this dragon pearl to Tyrannical Song, Netherworld Ruler White had delayed the remaining half of the payment.
The Almighty Merchant blamed everything on Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
Sure enough, it’s never a good thing when I meet Tyrannical Song!
“Fellow Daoist T233, don’t worry. I will handle this matter,” the Almighty Merchant said. For the remaining half of the payment, he would perform his duties flawlessly.
After saying that, the Almighty Merchant took away the spirit stones and the dragon pearl, reappearing at Song Shuhang’s coordinates.
