Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Chapter 85: Killing the Ants with a hammer.

"These are the ingredients you were looking for, Mr. Sebastian." A man dressed in a plain white shirt handed a storage ring filled with various alchemical products to Sebastian.

The man had dark blue hair neatly tied together in a bun behind his head. His face was slightly pale, and his body reeked of medicines.

"Thank you, Mr. Alex, for your kindness, and here, take this ring. Inside it are the agreed-upon spirit stones."

Sebastian also handed a ring of his own with a calm expression on his face.

After checking the contents inside Alex's ring, he turned to leave.

"Mr. Sebastian, my friend, have you thought about what we talked about before?"

"You should know how difficult it is to survive alone as an alchemist. Without an organization backing you, it is difficult to reach the peak."

At this time, Alex suddenly stopped him and asked with a smile on his face.

That's right, Alex was trying to poach Sebastian, but he was unable to succeed.

"My apologies, but I will not be able to join," Sebastian said, his response short and precise.

Hearing Sebastian's response, the smile on Mr. Alex's face became a little forced.

"Hahahah, it is okay, my friend. Everyone has different opinions; we should follow our hearts in the end." Mr. Alex laughed loudly, but his eyes at the same time turned a shade colder.

How could Sebastian, with his fifty thousand years of life experience, not guess Alex's thoughts?

He only sneered in his head and walked away.

Mr. Alex looked at Sebastian receding back with a frosty look in his eyes.

"Sebastian, oh my Sebastian, it's not up to you to decide whether you want to join or not."

"Oh! How?" David thought in his head as he looked at his status report.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, it didn't take long for him to arrive at an answer; he had just absorbed the memories of a thousand-year-old tree.

So it should be expected.

David's eyes suddenly started to shine. Wouldn't comprehending laws become as easy as breathing for him?

For now, he had just absorbed the memories of only Ryan, but when he absorbed memories of thousands of clients at the same time, wouldn't his comprehension increase at an insane rate?

Suddenly, David himself was frightened by such a thought.

He could become an almost unreasonable existence with the help of Bank of Eternal Origin.

If more Crystallizations like Bank of Eternal Origin existed in the vast universe, wouldn't it mean there were even more unreasonable existences out there, given the fact that they might have lived for who knew how long?

David didn't doubt that for a single second.

In the next moment, the happiness and slight arrogance that he felt in his heart vanished like a puff of smoke.

He might have become an unreasonable existence in this little Human Domain, but compared with the greater universe, he was nothing.

David was once again reminded of the principle that he wholeheartedly followed.

"Golden mean is the golden rule."

He can feel happy on his own achievements but at the same time not forget about the bigger picture.

At this time the Ancient Web of Mindfulness was stirred.

David frowned. He could feel the presence of several cultivators at the peak of Foundation Building Realm moving towards his tent.

"This tent right here, Mr. Alex. I knew they were fake from the start and had kept close eyes on them," Jack said with a fawning expression on his face.

"Hmm." Alex only nodded at his words and didn't say anything.

Beside him were several men dressed in battle gear with serious expressions on their faces.

"Ah! Brother, you are going too overboard for a little cultivator at the Foundation Building Realm." At this time, a skinny man came to Alex's side and spoke with a plain face.

"Nah! I can't fail this time. Sebastian seemed to greatly value his companions. I am sure he will definitely give us the recipe for that medicine in return for them."

"Even if Sebastian isn't with them, we can't be negligent and should never hesitate to use our full strength."

Alex remained unfazed by the skinny man's words. All this time, he survived only because he never hesitated in using full force whenever he got the chance to strike, catching his opponents by complete surprise.

He was someone who would use a hammer to kill an ant; therefore, even with ten peak Foundation Building Realm experts, he still felt that the manpower was lacking.

"If only that Golden Core Senior agreed," Alex thought with an expression of regret on his pale face.

"Whatever you say." The skinny man didn't say anything more; whatever needed to be said had been said.

"All three of them are at the initial stage of Foundation Building Realm, and keep in mind we are here to capture them, not kill."

Alex once again instructed them. He worried they would go overboard and kill all three of them; this was something that Alex didn't want to see.

"Let's go." With those words, ten of them surrounded the tent.

"Jack, you go inside and tell them about their situation." Alex instructed while looking at Jack. He didn't want to go too overboard; he had to give them hope, then only would he succeed in his plan.

Jack was overjoyed after hearing Alex's words.

With a bold smile on his face, he walked inside and loudly shouted.

"Lord Alex is magnanimous, and he is willing to forgive you for your earlier behavior."
