Resource Trading (1)

"Awe, she really loves her big brother." Bing Xue said with a hinting smile. One she couldn't help but have whenever the thought of children entered her mind. 

"Yeah, it makes me happy to see that. I think she also knows it was her big brother that saved her life." Su Yan giggled, gently stroking Yang Xingjuan's feathers. 

"She's very lucky to be around both you and Father. She gets experience being in all of her forms unlike me, I had to learn it as I went." I said, thankful as I remembered the difficulty I had and grateful I at least had an understanding of the principles behind it before even coming to this world. 

"Husband, she won't suffer what you did when you first transformed into phoenix form right? That was not a pleasant experience for you. Worse than the time a Territory Lord got a direct hit on you." Bing Xue asked, feeling compassion for her little sister-in-law. 

"Yeah, living in all her forms slowly growing each of them is definitely the better way to go. It's best she only deals with the breakthroughs when they happen." I said.

"Son, when will you come back and let me turn you small again? I want you to bond with your siblings soon." Su Yan asked, pouting slightly and causing Xingjuan to look at me with pleading eyes. 

"When Father is able to come out and handle things for a while. Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of doing anything other than that for the moment." I answered, as those eyes pierced daggers in my heart. 

Yang Kai came up and placed a hand on my head. "Son, how about summoning some disciples here to take care of that next task. I don't think a ruler should have to take care of it anyways. That, and aren't you a little tired after that display? Come and relax with your family for a bit, my daughter in-laws are already there now." He said with a smirk, knowing that it would be a bit embarrassing for me.

Yang Kai had a pretty compelling point. A ruler wouldn't personally handle the exchange of resources. So I relented scanning through all of the potential candidates. When Heaven's Revelations Great Emperor responded with himself and a few of his disciples. It didn't take long for them to arrive since I teleported them over in less than the blink of an eye. 

"Woah! That was an interesting experience." Gao Zhan exclaimed. "That was much different than the teleportation arrays." He continued, receiving a slap on the back of his head. 

"Be respectful to Young Master Yang Leiji, why don't you, Senior Brother." A young woman grumbled, then turned to me and bowed respectfully. "Greetings Young Master, it's an honor!" She continued excitedly. 

"Hmm, please don't mind my disciples too much Temporal Thunder. As you can see one is still rather inexperienced and the other is also overly excited." Heaven's Revelations said with a sigh as he greeted me. 

"It's fine. So long as they understand in the end everything is fine. I'm not the typical Young Master that explodes at the slightest provocation." I chuckled, giving a proper salute in return. "Besides, it's me who's requesting something from you, I should be a little accommodating." I added. 

"Ah, such a shame I don't have a second generation disciple, or I'd have already made some moves." Heaven's Revelations chuckled. "So, you need help with this furnace thing?" He said changing the topic as he recalled that I really don't like talking about the subject of marriage. 

"Yes, I created 7 replicas of the Good Fortune Divine Furnace just a moment ago. They will function much in the same way as before, but I have someone working on setting up the rooms needed for them. While they do that, I want you and your disciples to perform trades with the people outside. They've come a long way to use the Furnace all for their disciples to have a better future. So it's best that we don't slow them down." I said explaining the situation. 

"I see, am I right in assuming that you want us to make a small profit as well?" Heaven's Revelation asked. 

"Ah, these are what one can exchange for and their costs." I said, as a light came from my finger and to the three people before me. "I added in a transaction fee so our force can still benefit from this arrangement. I figure a full set of resources 2 ranks below what they are paying in is a fair price for a guaranteed result." I answered. 

"Hmm, so if one is exchanging for a 6th rank resource, they will need to exchange a set of 5th rank and a set of 3rd rank. What if they want a full set of 6th rank resources?" Heaven's Revelations asked, likely knowing the answer already. 

"Well, regardless they will need to exchange 7 sets of 5th rank resources if they want a full set of 6th rank. However, for the fee, they can either exchange a set of 4th rank resources or 7 sets of 3rd rank. I'll also leave it up to your discretion to make any needed adjustments in the event they don't have one or the other." I explained. 

"Hmm, so if they coughed up a 5th rank resource instead, that would suffice as well. And they could also make any mix and match of 4th rank and 3rd rank." Heaven's Revelations said, stroking his beard. "This will be a difficult task for my second disciple since she is still yet to have formed her seal…" He said, giving me that look. 

"No need to worry." I said, and a flash of energy surrounded the second disciple's neck, forming into a tiny clip putting itself just below where her hanfu crossed over itself. "With that clip the outer universe won't put any excessive pressure on you and your cultivation. I didn't restrict all of the pressure though, it will be a good opportunity to temper yourself. A rare opportunity at that. So make good use of it. It may help you in achieving higher than the 4th rank directly." I explained. 

"Wait, you can see what her limits are just like that?" Gao Zhan said, shocked and speaking out of turn. 

I simply smirked as I handed many rings filled with resources, over to Heaven's Revelations and then vanished along with Yang Kai, Su Yan, Smiles, my little sister and my wife.
