Chapter 3201 Trading Secrets

"Since we finished dinner. It is time we talk business," I said to him. My perception of him changed from when I had seen him the first time.

From 'it', he became 'him'.

His expression turned serious and his stance defensive, ready to summon his weapon and attack me at the moment's notice.

"Don't be so serious. I am interested in trading, not fighting. If you don't want to trade, that is fine either," I said, putting the most harmless smile on my face.

"You will let me leave, if I want to leave immediately?" he asked, looking at me seriously.

"Sure, but I advise you to wait a little. There are tens of soul senses moving around," I replied.

I could see a surprise appearing on his face before it had turned into a struggle. It took a few seconds for his expression to turn normal.

"What do you want?" he asked finally.

"Oh, there are many things I want, but one thing I want the most is the schematic of that satellite of yours."

"I am very interested in it," I said and immediately, his expression hardened, and his hands twitched like he wanted to summon his sword to attack me.

"It is my greatest secret; I can't give you that. Even if I give it to you, it will not work for you, it requires the special const.i.tution, among many other things," he said, and I smiled at that.

"I am aware, but I am still very interested in it. For research purposes," I said, his eyes sharpened and understanding dawned on him.

"You also have a celestial inheritance?" He asked, and I smiled, saying nothing.

The host of celestial inheritances is rare, not because the celestial inheritances are rare. No, they are not, most Sovereign organizations and families have them, but rarely anyone uses them.

In celestial inheritance, one needs to create the inheritance with own mind. You can inspire and even copy something, but not all.

In clear heart inheritance, you cannot copy more than 30% of concepts from outside. This makes it hard for others, as not all have the ability to do that, not to mention the ma.s.sive knowledge that requires.

The first condition is bad, but it is the second one that stopped most people.

To progress to each stage, one needs a huge time. The time taken to create inheritance is truly ma.s.sive; I am lucky that I have a library which had colossal knowledge, a core where time runs two times faster, and multiple clones.

Due to all this, I was able to create the inheritance faster, but others are not so lucky.

"Sorry, but I could not give you the schematics of it," he declined once again. "Not even for the schematics to create essence rose," I said and glittering black essence rose appeared in my hand.

It is from the peak Primary-III, one of the most powerful ones I had killed.

His eyes froze on the essence rose and I could see the desire I had seen in its eyes earlier. He wants the essence rose; he hungers for it, and I am offering him a method to create that.

"The method wouldn't be easy. I am sure you had created it, because of the special abilities you have that couldn't be replicated easily," he said after nearly a minute of silence.

"Yes, but imagine what could you achieve with all that data," I said enticingly and could see his mind wavering.

"Fine, but you have to show me what you are offering first," he said. 'Bingo!' I knew he will agree.

"It's no problem," I said and a white memory crystal appeared in me, and I threw at him. He caught it and seeped his soul sense inside.

For a few minutes, his expression remained unchanged, before suddenly a shock appeared on his face. He looked for over ten minutes before he opened his eyes and turned to me.

"I don't think I will be able to copy it, in its originality," he said, and I smiled, saying nothing.

He looked at me for a moment, before a blue crystal appeared in his hand and it threw it at me. I had to try very hard to hide my surprise, as he did not remove the blue crystals from his storage.

Others might not be able to detect it, but I could, and I know what I saw.

It is not my business; I have secrets of my own and have no interest in s.n.a.t.c.hing him away.

I seeped my soul sense inside it and within a few seconds, a shock appeared on my face. I am reading it with five of my clones and what I am reading shocked me.

"It seemed like quite many people had worked on this concept," I said as I pulled back my soul sense.

Immediately, a surprise appeared on his face, which he quickly hid.

"I want those essence roses," he said a moment later. "Sure, what are you going to pay me for it; let me tell you, normal resources wouldn't work," I said, turning his expression serious.

To others, the essence roses is novelty. Something they could look at and study, but for him, it is a best-practice resource.

Most importantly, he has the schematics of it in his hands, and with essence roses, he will understand them better.

"I hope this will satisfy you?" he asked, and he took out a bunch of coa.r.s.e grey stones. For a few seconds, I wasn't able to recognize them, till I seeped my soul sense inside and saw that marvelous structure.

"I hope you have a lot of them," I said as hundreds of essence roses materialized over me, surprising him greatly.

For more than ten minutes, we negotiated the price for our goods, each trying to overcharge the others. As goods in the hands of both are extremely rare and we both want what others have.

Those coa.r.s.e grey stones will help me tremendously.

I had read about them years ago and wanted them, but they are extremely rare. Now, I have got it and with it, I will do many things, which I could not do before.

"We should sit down; I have many things you will be interested in," I said and changed the kitchen into a living room.

"What kind of things do you have?" he asked as we sat down. "Some unique resources, but the knowledge will interest you most," I said.

"Knowledge of Grimms, bloodlines, cores, inheritances among other things," I added, and could see a faint surprise appearing on his face.

"What makes you think I don't have the knowledge I need? I wouldn't have been able to reach this far, without it," he said back, and I smiled.

"Oh, I know you have knowledge, but I have more and of every kind," I said and waved my hand.

A couple of meta-scans appeared, also the projection of cores, scrolls with information on them, and tomes.

I also brought resources like metal essence fruit, stainless lotuses, which I think will be quite useful to him, and even the lowest grade of bubbling cloud soil, and a few other things.

Seeing them, his eyes went wide as saucers.
