If it was just a few bottles of dragon blood, Long Zhenwei would not care about it, but hundreds of bottles of such pure dragon blood would be of great help to the entire Long family. The moment he heard the news, Long Zhenwei did not think about snatching it, but after learning from Long Yi that Yang Qi was from Tianjianmen, he had to give up this idea.
"This matter is too big and requires discussion by the family's top leaders. I will call a family meeting immediately." Long Zhenwei hesitated for a moment before speaking, "You will also come with me to this family meeting."
Even the great elder Long Zhenwei could not decide on a deal worth millions.
"Yes, godfather." Long Yi nodded slightly. Although he was the son of the Long family, this was his first time attending a family meeting of the Long family.
When Long Zhenwei convened a family meeting, Long Yi also passed the news to Yang Qi.
"Family meeting?" Yang Qi was slightly startled when he received Long Yi's message, but he didn't feel too strange.
A transaction of several million Yuan crystals, let alone for the current third-rate Long family, even for the Long family that once had a Martial Master in charge, would require careful discussion before a decision could be made.
"I wonder how much the Long family can take." Yang Qi thought to himself. He had no doubts about whether the Long family would buy the dragon blood. Such pure dragon blood, and such a large amount, was enough to increase the Long family's resources. The Long family could not give up. What they really needed to consider was how much dragon blood the Long family could take.
The Long family would probably have a hard time taking out hundreds of millions of crystals at once. It is impossible for them to use all their liquid funds to buy dragon blood. If they do that, the family's finances will inevitably be in trouble.
Although the Long family is a family of bloodline cultivation, it is actually no different from a small kingdom or a small group. The family's financial resources are not in the hands of one individual.
While Yang Qi was considering how much dragon blood the Long family could consume, Long Zhenwei had already summoned all the elders and patriarchs of the family except those who were in seclusion.
"The blood power contained in this dragon blood is indeed very pure, at least it is from a demon beast above the intermediate Martial Honor level." An old man made his judgment after just briefly examining the dragon blood in the jade bottle.
"Yang Qi has hundreds of bottles of this kind of dragon blood." Long Zhenwei looked at the head of the Long family who was at the top. Although the Elders' Council had the right to make recommendations, the head of the family was the one who made the final decision.
"There are hundreds of bottles. It's not easy for our Long family to buy them all." The middle-aged man at the head frowned and said in a deep voice.
This middle-aged man is the current generation’s head of the Long family, Long Wu.
Although the Long family has a deep foundation, to take out so many Yuan Crystals at once, they would have to use up most of their working capital. If something happens, they may not have enough funds.
"In my opinion, why not just rob it secretly? Why spend Yuanjing!" At this moment, a thin old man sneered.
A treasure worth several million yuan, so what if they tried to snatch it? The Huangquan Sect had blocked the Misty Canyon for three Baicao Fruits and even killed Tang Qin's two brothers!
"Third Elder, what do you mean? Yang Qi is my brother for life and death. Even if the deal fails, we still have our righteousness. How can I kill people for treasure?" Long Yi's face changed, and he stared at the thin old man who spoke with an unpleasant look.
"How dare you! When will it be your turn as a junior to speak here?" the thin old man shouted with a gloomy face.
He is the elder of the Long family. How dare an outsider cultivator question him
Long Zhenwei glanced at Long Yi, and then said calmly, "Third brother, why bother to get angry with the junior."
"Hmph~" The thin old man snorted coldly and said no more. Long Zhenwei's reputation within the family was almost as high as that of the patriarch. Even he, the third elder, was far behind him.
“Yang Qi is from Tianjian Sect. With so much dragon blood, there must be many fellow disciples from Tianjian Sect who have entrusted him with the task. If something happens to him here, the people behind him will probably suspect us first!” Long Zhenwei glanced at the people around him and said calmly.
After hearing this, everyone present fell silent. They were certainly not afraid of a single Martial Master. Even if it was a Martial Master on the Tianjiao List, so what? The Long family had dozens of high-level Martial Masters alone.
However, the Tianjian Sect is a super power. Under normal circumstances, the Tianjian Sect would not bother to take action against the Long family. But if the Long family took the initiative to provoke the Tianjian Sect, then things would be different.
"So what? As long as we do it secretly, even if it's Tianjian Sect..." the thin old man spoke again.
"I remember Brother Chu said that his master is a high-level martial arts master." Long Yi said lightly.
"Let's not mention this matter again." Long Wu, who was at the top, said calmly.
The Tianjian Sect will reason with the Long family, but Yang Qi’s master will not reason with them, and those Tianjian Sect practitioners who entrusted Yang Qi to sell the dragon blood will not reason with them either.
After hearing Long Wu's words, the thin old man had to shut his mouth. He also understood that a high-level martial arts master was definitely not someone the Long family could afford to provoke.
"If we want to consume this batch of dragon blood, we will need 6 million crystals, which is not a small amount. Our current liquid funds are only more than 8 million." A middle-aged man said.
More than 8 million in liquid funds may seem like a lot, but in fact, the annual consumption is only two to three million. If it weren't for the support of some industries of the Long family, they would have been unable to make ends meet long ago.
"Is there any way to get a better deal from the other party?" Long Wu looked at Long Yi. They had no relationship with Yang Qi, so it was difficult to get Yang Qi to give them a discount. The only possibility was for Long Yi to come forward.
“Sixty thousand crystals are not a high price for such pure dragon blood. Even with more discounts, it probably can’t be too much.” Long Yi sighed softly. He understood his family’s thoughts, but it was too difficult to lower the price of the dragon blood in Yang Qi’s hands. The family in the Great Chu Empire that possessed dragon blood was not the only one besides their Huai’an Long family.
"No matter what, let's talk to Yang Qi first and see if we can lower the price a bit. The family will raise funds as soon as possible." Long Wu said in a deep voice.
Just as Yang Qi half guessed, the Long family did not intend to let go of such pure dragon blood, but it was not easy to drink it all in one breath.
"I'll try my best." Long Yi said helplessly.
Everyone discussed it again and finally decided to swallow all the dragon blood in Yang Qi's hand. This was an opportunity for the Long family. The Long family had no martial arts master in this generation. If a martial arts master was born with this dragon blood, then the Long family could remain a second-rate force for the next few hundred years, which would be of great help to the Long family!
"The family meeting is over so soon?" After receiving the message from Long Yi, Yang Qi already knew that the Long family meeting was over. According to Long Yi, the Long family was very interested in this batch of dragon blood, but hoped for a discount on the price.
"It seems that they intend to swallow it all in one go." Upon hearing this news, Yang Qi was also slightly surprised. Of course, he had more than a hundred bottles of dragon blood in his hand. The reason why he said a hundred bottles was also considering the strength of the Long family. He did not expect that the Long family would be so generous and dare to swallow all the dragon blood in one go.
"Long Yi, get out of here!" Just as Yang Qi was thinking about how to negotiate with the senior management of the Long family, a cold shout suddenly came from outside the house. (To be continued)
