Thousands of grasses and thousands of states!
This place is within the territory of Qitian Sect and one of the thousand states under the jurisdiction of Silver Moon Sect.
This territory is extremely fertile, and it is covered with primitive jungles, filled with countless miraculous elixirs and rare treasures.
Within the territory of Qitian Sect, it has the reputation of being one of the "Eighteen Medicine Gardens in the Territory of Qitian Sect".
It is no exaggeration to say... one-tenth of the rare elixirs within the Qitian Sect's territory come from Wancao Qianzhou.
"this……"
Silver Moon Sect was suddenly speechless.
Thousands of grasses and thousands of states are not only coveted by the Northern Territory, but also other top forces in the Qitian Sect territory are particularly jealous.
Even the Qitian Sect has tried to negotiate terms with the Silver Moon Sect many times, exchanging other Qianzhou for Wancao Qianzhou, but has always been rejected by the Silver Moon Sect.
There were even several times when the Qitian Sect wanted to use the power of hegemony to force the Silver Moon Sect to hand over Wancao Qianzhou.
But after thinking about it carefully, Qi Tianzong still didn't do that.
After all, Wancao Qianzhou is the territory of the Silver Moon Sect. If the Qitian Sect takes it by force, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the Silver Moon Sect and other top forces in the Qitian Sect's territory, and it is likely to cause chaos in the territory.
The leader of the Silver Moon Sect is very clear about the importance of Ten Thousand Grasses and Thousands of States, which is definitely more important than a Holy Son.
Even if the sect leader agrees to exchange Wancao Qianzhou for the Holy Son of the Silver Moon Sect, the ancestors of the Silver Moon Sect will not agree.
"hehe."
The master of the Qitian Sect sneered twice at this moment, stared at the master of the Silver Moon Sect and said: "If the master of the Silver Moon Sect wants to exchange Wancao Qianzhou for the Holy Son of the Silver Moon Sect, then it is better to give up Wancao Qianzhou to the Qitian Sect. We, the Qitian Sect, will once again be entangled with the Northern Territory and exchange other territories for the Holy Son of the Silver Moon Sect."
The leader of the Silver Moon Sect became serious and said, "The leader of the Qitian Sect is joking. There is no way that I, the Silver Moon Sect, will hand over Wancao Qianzhou."
"His Majesty Emperor Chu also misunderstood my meaning. I didn't say that I had to exchange territory for it."
"It's freezing cold in the Northern Territory and there's a shortage of spiritual things. All they need are resources."
"Can we open up a trade route specifically for him and sell them resources? That's enough, right?"
Trade?
This seems like a good choice too.
Lin Bai held up his wine glass, listening and thinking.
Although the Northern Territory is freezing cold, it also has many resources that other territories do not have.
For example... black ice.
This is the divine iron second only to the Nine Divine Irons in the Demon Realm, and is unique to the Northern Territory.
The nine divine irons in the demon world, whether they are Dragon Burying Emperor Gold, Divine Tears Immortal Gold, Royal Heavenly Immortal Gold, Huangtian Dao Gold... or other divine irons, are all extremely rare. Even if they are discovered by chance, they will only be found by the Dingsheng Sect. The door was taken away.
But the black ice in the Northern Territory is different.
There are a lot of black ice in the Northern Territory. Whether it is a prosperous sect or a top sect, they all have a lot of black ice resources.
This kind of divine iron, second only to the Nine Divine Irons, is also one of the rarest resources in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
Not only black ice, but also many precious resources hidden under the eternal ice in the Northern Territory.
The Eastern Region sells elixirs and rare treasures to the Northern Region, while the Northern Region sells its precious mineral iron resources to the Eastern Region.
In this way, everyone gets what they need.
It is indeed a suitable choice.
Before Emperor Chu could answer the suggestion put forward by the leader of the Silver Moon Sect, the leader of the Immortal Wind Sect of Wansheng Mountain answered it for Emperor Chu.
"Fellow Taoist of Silver Moon Sect, do you think we haven't thought of using trade methods?"
"In fact, Halloween Mountain has been maintaining commercial relations with the Northern Territory since hundreds of thousands of years ago."
Halloween Mountain is one of the oldest forces in the Eastern Region of the Demon World.
They know many secrets in the Eastern Region and the Demonic World.
The history of Halloween Mountain is almost older than that of Jiuyou Demon Palace, and can be traced back to about half a million years ago.
As for the Chu State, it was only 300,000 years old.
Not to mention the Qiye Shen Sect and Qitian Sect, they were just forces that emerged after the Jiuyou Demon Palace was destroyed in the past 100,000 years.
In terms of status and qualifications in the Eastern Demon Realm, Halloween Mountain is second to none.
Compared with forces such as Chu State and Qitian Sect, Wansheng Mountain is older and they have spent more time dealing with the Northern Territory.
For the Northern Territory, Halloween Mountain naturally has a better understanding.
So when Halloween Mountain learned that the Northern Territory was invading the Eastern Territory, they immediately stood up to fight.
He also instructed Wang Zhengyang to secretly advise Qi Lingyu to be careful of sneak attacks in the southern region.
These... are the experiences accumulated by Halloween Mountain in the past more than half a million years.
The leader of the All Saints Mountain gave a long sigh and said: "The Northern Territory is not as kind as you think. There are not so many rules, not so many rules, and not so many royal laws in that territory."
"Most of the caravans that entered the Northern Territory from the Eastern Territory were either plundered by bandits along the way, or were tricked by the sects and families in the Northern Territory who were unwilling to pay."
"If fellow Taoists from the Silver Moon Sect don't want to believe it, when you return to the Qitian Sect's territory, go ask the chamber of commerce in your Qitian Sect's territory for cross-border trade and ask them if they are willing to do business in the Northern Territory."
"Or..."
The master of the Wansheng Mountain sect turned his attention and landed on the head of the Qian family, one of the five and seven sects of the Chu Kingdom.
"You can also ask the Qian family of Chu State!"
"The Qian Family of Chu State is one of the largest cross-border chambers of commerce in the Demon Realm. Their business covers the entire Demon Realm."
"The road to trade, although feasible, is difficult."
After the sect leader of Wansheng Mountain finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to the head of the Qian family.
This wealthy man covered in jewels always maintains a kind and humble smile on his shiny face.
He said slowly: "It is true that as the leader of the All Saints Mountain said, the land in the Northern Territory... is too barbaric."
"Although the Qian family's caravan can enter the Northern Territory, most of them have obtained permission from the four most powerful forces in the Northern Territory."
"Our Qian family is doing business in the Northern Territory, and we have the endorsement of the four most prosperous sects, so we can have smooth business."
"If it were any other chamber of commerce, I'm afraid they would have been killed by the warriors of the Northern Territory just after they entered the Northern Territory."
Only then did Lin Bai understand that the Qian family's business in the Northern Territory was supported by the four most prosperous sects in the Northern Territory.
It's no wonder that the Qian family's business can continue in the Northern Territory.
Emperor Chu then said: "In the past years, we have tried all possible methods to deal with the Northern Territory."
"But it's all to no avail."
The head of the Qitian Sect sneered twice, "It's true that the poor and harsh mountains and rivers breed unruly people!"
Emperor Chu looked around at all the sect leaders on the star-catching platform and asked with a smile: "You might as well think more about it. In addition to war and trade, are there any other ways to calm down the Northern Territory?"
On the star-catching stage, there was a moment of silence.
"Why."
About a moment later, a sect leader spoke up and said, "We don't know what His Majesty Emperor Chu said. It's just that our sect is concerned about the safety of our holy son, so we are looking forward and backward."
"Your Majesty, please understand our feelings."
"That's natural." Emperor Chu said with a smile: "Our Chu Kingdom has just established a prince. If our Chu Kingdom's prince also falls into the hands of Beiyu, I will probably be more anxious than everyone else."
Hearing these words, His Highness Prince Chen felt slightly warm in his heart.
"But..." Emperor Chu then changed the topic and said, "Everyone should also understand that going to war with the Northern Territory is the best way to rescue the Holy Son."
"I know that you all want to negotiate peacefully, pay some price, and save the Holy Son."
"But the current situation is...the northern region takes the initiative, and the eastern region takes the passive position."
"If we go to negotiate at this moment, the Northern Territory will definitely open its mouth and ask for more resources and territory."
"Take the Silver Moon Sect as an example. If the Northern Territory really wants Ten Thousand Grasses and Thousands of States, will the Silver Moon Sect also have to give it to them?"
When the leader of the Silver Moon Sect heard this, he puffed up his cheeks in anger.
Emperor Chu continued: "Only by defeating them will we have the opportunity to negotiate peacefully and rescue your Holy Son."
"I still say the same thing...Chu is not wary."
"But in order to rescue your holy sons, the Chu State is willing to stand up and lead the battle against the Northern Territory!"
