Chapter 214 : : Permanent Alliance

"When did I ever said that I need you to destroy the auction house?" Rex said with a smile

"Huh? But you just said merge.." Jiang Shuang was confused

"I want our organizations to merge but not in the same way you think, my organization needs to work with another organization for the maximum profit, of course, your organization will also make a huge profit, it will be a symbiotic relationship between us, in simple words, my organization will make the products while your organization will sell them and also use them, the Myriad Auction House will still exist but its rules and ways will change completely

My merging is not the same merging you think, it's more like a permanent alliance which can not be broken until the whole organization will be destroyed because once you agree we both will need to depend on each other to do business" Rex said with a smile

'Of course, I don't want you to merge our organization in that way, if I really wanted that then I would have asked you to turn your organization into my organization's subsidiary branch instead of merging at the very start' Rex purposely caused the misunderstanding earlier to achieve his purpose

Rex strategy was to ask for more than he wanted then bargain until he achieves the price he wants, for example, if he wants to buy something at 10 low grade spirit stone from a shop while the actual price of the thing is higher, then the first price he will tell the shopkeeper to buy it will be just 5 spirit stone, then he will bargain with the shop keeper until the shopkeeper itself try to convince him to buy it at 10 instead of 5 low grade spirit stone

Jiang Shuang started to seriously consider the offer

"May I ask what type of organization Frozen Flame is?, What is its aim? where is the headquarters?" Jiang Shuang asked after thinking for a while

"It means you are considering my offer," Rex asked

"As long as it wouldn't destroy my Myriad Auction House and it's profitable I will consider it," Jiang Shuang said

"Well come with me, we will fly to there," Rex said as he walked outside the carriage

"Fly? won't it cause trouble" Jiang Shuang said worriedly

"Not many people can cause trouble for me, we can reach there in the shortest time if we fly or are you worried that someone will try to kill you on your way… if I want I can kill all your bodyguard in just a few seconds you are safer with me than them," Rex said

[You already cause enough trouble for yourself so others don't need to cause trouble for you at all]

'You are just jealous' (Rex)

Although reluctant Jiang Shuang agreed, he then told others that he will be going with Rex for now

'Telekinesis' (Rex)

Jiang Shuang was getting ready to fly but suddenly he felt like an invisible force pulled him into the sky

Rex flew at a high speed, Jiang Shuang was like a kite behind him, he was lucky that Rex used Aerokinesis to decrease the wind resistance on him or he won't even be able to breathe

They were moving at such high speed that Jiang Shuang could only see blur scenery below him

{Master Ye why did you chose to sell that cream at just 100 high grade spirit stone, people will buy it even at 1000 high grade spirit stone price} Jiang Shuang asked curiously

{Tell me will everyone even give it a try if I sell it for 1000 high grade spirit stone} (Rex)

{No not everyone can afford to spend that much money to give it a try but those who will buy it will definitely become your regular customers and then you will get more money for less cream… isn't it more profitable} (Jiang Shuang)

{Then you agree that once someone starts to use it they will become addicted} (Rex)

{Yes they will, if this cream can make the Sect Master of Cold Heaven Sect to personally negotiate then it definitely have the potential to make them choose it over other product for the same purpose} (Jiang Shuang)

{Then think, if I sell it at a low price for now then everyone can buy it and try it and as you said there is a high chance that they will like its effects and will get addicted to it so at that time if I increased the price will they stop buying it?} Rex said with a meaningful smile

Jiang Shuang felt cold in his back when he figured out the meaning behind his words

Rex was selling the cream at such low price for now so that everyone will give it a try but once everyone likes it and use it over other products then he will increase the price but at that time everyone will already get used to it so they will buy it even if the price is increased

He understood that Rex was taking short term loss to acquire big long term profit

Jiang Shuang took two minutes of silence for every ice attribute cultivator on Golden Bird Continent

Rex already traced back the way he came to the Cold Heaven Sect so now he just asked Rose to find the displacement between his current position and Corentis to find the shortest path to go back

Because Rex was flying at high speed it only took him around five days to get back to Corentis, they only took some short breaks once in a while

Although there were people who noticed Rex and Jiang Shuang flying in the sky but when they saw that they were flying at such high speed they thought that maybe they were Golden Core stage cultivators and Golden Core stage cultivators are naturally allowed to fly almost everywhere without any restriction

They didn't think that Rex was just a little special and after receiving the boost from Telekinesis and Aerokinesis his speed was no less than a Golden Core stage cultivator

The one who suffered most on the way was Jiang Shuang, he hadn't eaten for months but Rex put him in a state where he still wanted to vomit but nothing came out

When they reached Corentis Rex directly headed towards Misty Maze Forest after a short break to let Jiang Shuang have a breather

{Master Ye maybe we are heading in the wrong direction, it's Misty Maze Forest on this side} (Jiang Shuang)

{No it's the right direction Frozen Flame's main base is in the inner zone of Misty Maze Forest} (Rex)

{What! Master Ye don't joke at a time like that, the King of Forest will eat us alive, let's head back} Jiang Shuang said anxiously

{What King of Forest, a few years ago I fought him here in this jungle} Rex said nonchalantly

{Huh? seriously Master Ye survived after fighting it} Jiang Shuang was shocked

{Survive? he was lucky to remain alive after the fight, we exchanged thousands of rounds, we kept fighting for three days and three nights straight then he accepted defeat and surrendered, he was lucky that I am very fond of spirit beasts so I let him live and I took him under my wing as a mount, you think my mount can stop me from entering the forest} Rex said with a serious expression

[You fought for thousands of rounds? and you actually fought for three days and three nights straight? why do I don't remember these details]

Rex completely ignored Rose's words

{Master Ye it's not like I doubt your or Shadow Lord's strength but still, it's… } Jiang Shuang gave him a doubtful look

{Off course I am not that strong right now, actually you might not believe it but a few years ago I was a big powerhouse but I got seriously injured in a big battle, Although I managed to finish off my enemy but after the battle was over my cultivation dropped because of my serious injuries and I am slowly recovering my cultivation base right now or do you think just anyone can make that kind of cream

Think about it, I only decided to go to Cold heaven Sect to get the Snowy Yin Lotus a little while ago so how did I make the cream at that time, do you think it was a coincidence or I already had such thing in advance} (Rex)

The more Jiang Shuang thought about Rex's words the more true they felt

{Then that Snowy Yin Lotus, does it have anything to do with your injuries?} Jiang Shuang asked

{You are smart, it was to make the medicine to cure my injuries and recover my cultivation base at fast speed} (Rex)

{But Master Ye now that you are weak, won't the King of Forest will attack you} (Jiang Shuang)

{We have signed a contract when it became my mount so he won't harm me or the people with me, don't worry as long as I am with you the so called King of the Forest needs to think at least hundred times before making his move} Rex said as he patted his chest

[I wish Zakiya could hear all that]

'Are you really on my side?' Rex asked doubtfully

[Of course, I am]

Rex released the full pressure of his cultivation base on his way so weak beast won't come closer to him, he even further increased his speed so that even if some strong beast chase him they could not catch him after all not everyone could face the strong winds in the forest without having enough strength or strong affinity with the wind element

After flying at high speed for two days they finally reached the base
