Chapter 340: Super Double

Chapter 340: Super Double

Hearing Lu talk about how the artifacts and potions crafted by the Refining Demon Sect were the best in the Great Han Empire, Lin Nuo couldn’t hold back any longer.

After listening to so much, he summarized the key points of their negotiations.

This person named Lu wanted something from the Refining Demon Sect, but the price was too high. Thus, Mu Yiting planned to win by offering a lower price, even contacting alchemists to provide goods at little to no cost.

However, the situation took a turn when a young girl from the Refining Demon Sect popped up, offering a reasonable price to collaborate with Lu.

Who was so bold as to shatter the traditional mindset that collaboration with the Refining Demon Sect only meant exploitation?

Regardless, Mu Yiting lost her advantage of a lower price and lacked the negotiating power. The Refining Demon Sect had entered a price war; how could she talk her way out of it?

In negotiations, one must address the other party’s demands.

What does the opponent want?

Affordable yet high-quality goods.

Of course, everyone thinks this way nowadays; who wouldn’t want to score great stuff for free?

Lin Nuo casually threw in a statement that if they could make something stronger than what the Refining Demon Sect offered, even Lu chuckled.

What a joke! If you could create something like that, would you even need to beg others for collaboration?

Lu scoffed, saying, “Young man, trying to inflate your worth is unwise. You should know exactly how capable you are. If you could produce stronger artifacts and potions than the Refining Demon Sect, would you still be seeking my collaboration? You’d naturally be respected, and this negotiation wouldn’t even exist.”

“If you don’t believe me, feel free to give it a shot.”

Lin Nuo confidently replied, “Also, if we succeed, we could sell it to you at an even lower price. Collaboration means win-win; harmony brings wealth.”

Hearing Lin Nuo’s tone, Lu sensed something unusual; this young man had the aura of someone who could achieve great things.

Who was this person? Hard to tell, but trying it out might be worth it.

Lu said, “Alright, you can give it a try. If it works, we can discuss collaboration.”

Lu snapped his fingers, and a subordinate standing by the wall approached, pulling out a black ring from his pocket.

Lu took the black ring and extended it, saying, “This here is the Magic Sky Ring. I bought it at a low price from the Refining Demon Sect; consider it their sincerity. I assume you know its effects, right?”

“Of course, the Magic Sky Ring looks like an ordinary black ring, but it can expand, binding the limbs of anyone within it, rendering them unable to move,” Lin Nuo replied.

“Correct. You say you can create objects stronger than those from the Refining Demon Sect. Then let’s use this Magic Sky Ring as an example, and you try to create a superior version.”

“Sure,” Lin Nuo nodded.

“But a clever housewife can’t cook without rice. I can’t just conjure it out of thin air; I’ll need some materials.”

“What materials? Let me see if I can get them.”

Lu was quite accommodating to Lin Nuo; as a businessman, he saw no harm in cooperating. If what Lin Nuo said was true, and he could produce something stronger than what the Refining Demon Sect created, then this deal could work.

But it was a tall order; the Refining Demon Sect was the largest magical cultivation organization, and if there were truly such capable individuals outside, they would have long been recruited by the Refining Demon Sect.

Let’s see what kind of tricks this young man has up his sleeve.

Now the negotiation turned into a dialogue between Lu and Lin Nuo, with Mu Yiting and her father too afraid to speak.

Mu Feng anxiously asked Mu Yiting, “Yiting, can he really do it? We don’t have that kind of talent. If he can’t deliver, we’ll be breaking our promise and might have no room for negotiation left.”

“Dad, don’t worry. He has the capability to pull it off.”

Mu Yiting stated firmly; in her eyes, Lin Nuo was all-powerful. He wouldn’t make empty claims; he must be able to do it to guarantee it.

Lin Nuo wrote down the materials on a piece of white paper; these were easy to find, and Mu Yiting had them on hand. To show sincerity, Lu agreed to provide Lin Nuo with the materials.

“It’ll take about three days; can you wait?” Lu asked.

“Sure, I’ll come back in three days; I hope you can deliver,” Lu replied, concluding this session of discussion and promising to return in three days.

Actually, Lin Nuo only needed two days to create the Magic Sky Ring. But since it usually took three days, he decided to leave himself some leeway by stating three days.

After all, it’s about improvement; he just needed to demonstrate it functionally; speeding it up would be too disrespectful to the Refining Demon Sect.

“Young man, can you really do it?” Mu Feng still felt uneasy, as he was entrusting his future to a stranger.

“I can. Just give me a forge room,” Lin Nuo made a simple request, which Mu Yiting could agree to, trying to accommodate Lin Nuo’s needs.

Lin Nuo worked for two days, spent a day fishing, and after three days, he presented the Magic Sky Ring as promised.

“This really is the Magic Sky Ring…” Mu Feng examined the black ring, astonished.

This young man truly created it; reflecting back, he hadn’t even closed himself away for the full three days—he went fishing yesterday!

Curious, Mu Feng asked, “Young man, what makes this Magic Sky Ring better?”

Lin Nuo simply teased, “You’ll know when we showcase it during negotiations.”

They took the Magic Sky Ring to the meeting room; Lu, as usual, liked to play the big shot and was late to arrive.

After a long wait, he finally showed up.

Same extravagant outfit, fancy cloak, and a few top-notch bodyguards accompanying him.

Upon arrival, Lu got straight to the point, “How’s the Magic Sky Ring coming along?”

“It’s ready; please take a look,” Lin Nuo handed the newly made Magic Sky Ring to Lu, who inspected it closely but couldn’t spot any differences.

“So? What’s the catch? It looks identical; did you buy it from the Refining Demon Sect on purpose?”

“You’ll know once you try it. We could do a comparison.”

Lin Nuo replied, and soon they stepped outside the meeting room to showcase the Magic Sky Ring.

First, they used Lu’s Magic Sky Ring, which expanded to encircle roughly fifty square meters.

Then Lin Nuo tossed the ring into the air, and in an instant, two Magic Sky Rings split off, expanding, each encircling about fifty square meters.

Everyone gasped in astonishment—what is this, the hair of Sun Wukong? It can transform?

“What’s happening…?” Lu looked on in disbelief.

“What’s the effect?”

“Each ring has the same effect, but it’s super double—the joy is multiplied! When you want to retrieve it, they merge back together.”

Lin Nuo demonstrated again, having the two Magic Sky Rings shrink and merge back into his hand.

They then tested the effects again; each ring acted identically—this was truly unbelievable.

Lu was overjoyed; this one Magic Sky Ring served the purpose of two, and he could buy it at a lower price. What a steal!

“Are there other magical artifacts as well?”

“There can be others, but we need to collaborate on equal terms.”

“Alright, no problem.”

Both parties shook hands, sealing a fruitful collaboration.

Soon after, Lu’s partnership with the Refining Demon Sect crumbled, leaving the sect completely surprised.
