Li Qingjin, Dong Qingyi, and Gu Nianyun also took out the treasures they had collected and looked at Zhou Yan, saying, "See if there's anything you need."
It was because Zhou Yan was the wealthiest and had the most treasures. If they could get what they needed in advance, it would save them time searching at the trade fair.
Zhou Yan examined them one by one. None of the items they brought out were buildings, but the items were quite good. He could take them or leave them.
Since he could help his friends, he was naturally willing to help them obtain what they wanted.
"What kind of items do you want? Just say it," Zhou Yan asked calmly.
Li Qingjin, gentle as water, smiled and said, "I want water-elemental cultivation techniques and skills. I'm a mage, so I need magical ones."
Dong Qingyi pondered for a moment and then said, "I don't have anything specific I want, but if I could get a good treasure sword and a few sword techniques, I would definitely like them."
Gu Nianyun was very direct: "It would be best to have a good saber. If there are saber techniques as well, that would be great too."
"Wait a moment." Zhou Yan opened his treasure vault again.
He quickly found the cultivation techniques and skills that Li Qingjin needed. He took out dozens of books, each cultivation technique and skill being of S to SSS quality.
Li Qingjin gasped when she saw them. Although she knew Zhou Yan had these things, the sheer quantity still made her feel that he was even more formidable than a lord merchant.
"I really don't know where you get these things. I estimate that no shop in the entire Canglan Continent can compare to you," Lin Tan said speechlessly to Zhou Yan.
"So, from now on, if we want anything, we just bring things to exchange with him. Isn't that convenient?" Ye Bufan suggested.
This statement was unanimously agreed upon. It was much better than searching outside.
They wouldn't let Zhou Yan suffer any losses anyway, and they believed Zhou Yan wouldn't refuse this small favor.
"Of course, no problem," Zhou Yan replied.
Zhou Yan certainly wouldn't refuse. They were all friends, and his territory had plenty of items. Keeping them there, he didn't know when they would be useful. Since these friends needed them, exchanging them was not a big deal.
"I want this cultivation technique and skill. See if you like any of my items." Li Qingjin chose a water-elemental cultivation technique of SSS quality and a skill book of SS quality.
Zhou Yan picked out six items from her, and the prices were not too different. This was also acceptable to Li Qingjin, as she didn't want to take too much advantage of Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan knew they all felt this way, so he did this.
If Zhou Yan didn't choose like this, they would always feel indebted to him. This was the best approach.
As for the items Dong Qingyi needed, Zhou Yan had many. After all, swords were weapons used by most people, and Zhou Yan had many treasure swords and hundreds of sword technique skill books.
Zhou Yan asked Dong Qingyi if she had any specific requirements for sword techniques. Dong Qingyi immediately knew he had many items. She quickly stated her requirements: "It would be best if it's a sword technique suitable for women, and one that can deal with group attacks would be ideal."
After Zhou Yan understood, he selected ten long swords and skills suitable for women, saying, "These should be what you need."
Dong Qingyi looked at them and quickly selected what suited her. Zhou Yan also took weapons and skills of the same quality from her.
Finally, it was Gu Nianyun's turn. Like men, she liked to adopt a fierce and domineering approach, which could be seen from her previous battles.
Zhou Yan also brought out five diamond-quality sabers and six S-grade or higher saber techniques.
Gu Nianyun was very satisfied and said to Zhou Yan, "Trading with you is indeed very convenient. You have so many good things. I'll take these two, and you can pick whatever you like from my items."
Zhou Yan also took items of similar value. Finally, he looked at Ye Bufan and asked, "What about you two?"
Luo Yushuang stared at Zhou Yan and said, "Kid, can I buy you and take you home?"
"You can't afford me, so forget it." Zhou Yan knew she was joking.
"You've got it all figured out. If you bought Zhou Yan, his things would become yours. It's a pity that with your personality, I doubt anyone would like you," Lin Tan said from the side.
"Hmph, I just have my eye on his things. It's just a pity he's not my type, otherwise, I'd tie him up and take him away," Luo Yushuang said frankly.
She didn't have anything she wanted, so she was too lazy to bring anything out.
However, Ye Bufan took out over a dozen items and said, "Do you have a material called Yuan Ling Crystal? I've been looking for it for a long time but haven't found much, preferably three-star or above."
"Yuan Ling Crystal? Let me see." Zhou Yan checked his special material storage area and indeed found that he had this material. As for how he got it, he couldn't be bothered to think about it.
"How much do you need?" Zhou Yan asked.
"You really have it? I really suspect you're a material merchant. You can't find much of this stuff on the entire Canglan Continent's market. I'm really curious where you got it from."
Ye Bufan was indeed shocked. Rare materials like this were hard to come by; having money didn't necessarily mean you could buy them.
Ye Bufan wasn't lacking in cultivation techniques, skills, or equipment. He was only interested in some rare materials.
Seeing that Zhou Yan had so many rare materials, he quickly inquired about several others and found that Zhou Yan had them all.
He was stunned.
Even the top material merchants didn't possess all these things, yet Zhou Yan had them. This made everyone shocked again.
Ye Bufan thought for a moment and then took out a skill book, saying to Zhou Yan, "I don't know if you're interested in this skill."
Zhou Yan was very curious. Since Ye Bufan said this, it must not be an ordinary skill. He looked closely and was indeed very surprised.
Item: Wind Lightning Wings
Quality: RR
Description: Possesses both wind and lightning attributes. Can only be learned by those who have reached the sixty-first heaven or above.
"An RR-quality flying skill. You're quite something, kid. This skill must not have been easy to get, right?"
Zhou Yan was indeed very surprised. Not only was the quality of this skill high, but it was also a very rare flying skill. Even he was very tempted, which showed how precious this skill was.
Although the skill had learning requirements, for him, these were not problems. He had already met the requirements.
"If my realm weren't insufficient, I would have probably used this long ago. You're not losing out by exchanging this skill book for your materials."
Although Ye Bufan was reluctant, these materials were very precious. If he had to collect them himself, he didn't know when he would be able to.
"I won't let you suffer a loss either. It's just that I don't have any materials above six-star yet. If I do, I'll give them to you later so you can further upgrade your buildings."
Zhou Yan made a promise to Ye Bufan.
"No problem."
Ye Bufan naturally believed Zhou Yan. With these materials, he could significantly improve his territory's strength, which would be of great help to him.
The transactions among them ended smoothly. Afterward, they wanted to go to the trade fair, so they agreed on a time and place to meet and then went back to their respective places.
