Lin Yu was a little surprised, "Does being a businessman have a high status in the clan?"
Hearing this, Qu Gan's eyes widened, "Of course!"
"The reason why our wandering spirit tribe continues to prosper is because of the merchants traveling throughout Yinguang Lake!"
"The great elder of the tribe has personally said that trade is the blood of our Wandering Spirit Tribe. As long as trade continues, our Wandering Spirit Tribe will never decline!"
Lin Yu was startled.
This great elder is a genius!
Yinguang Lake was ruled and exploited by the dragon, and places rich in resources, such as the nine cities, were all designated by the dragon as its own.
All that is left for other races are some resource-poor territories, just like the island nations on Earth.
Under such circumstances, the only way to maintain the prosperity and development of the ethnic group is to vigorously develop business.
With such a great elder who values commerce, no wonder this water snake tribe can prosper!
Lin Yu suddenly realized an opportunity, "Fellow Taoist Qu Gan, where do our tribe's merchants mainly go?"
"For those who are not Taoist friends, just call me Qu Gan." This snake man was obviously a casual guy. He touched his chin and summed it up in his mind, "We still have many places to go, Mingpan City, We have people in Heshan Hills, Juyunduan Gorge, etc., almost half of Dongsheng China."
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "How is that possible?"
Not to mention the small half of Dongsheng Shenzhou, just the distance from Yinguang Lake to Mingpan City, Heshan Hills and Juyunduan Gorge is already an incredible distance!
Mingpan City, Heshan Hills, and Juyunduan Gorge are all forces similar to Yinguang Lake. They cover a huge area, probably similar to that of the Nine Provinces of the Human Race.
There is only one Xuanxian in charge of this water snake tribe. Even if they want to send caravans to these places, there are not that many strong people in charge.
Hearing Lin Yu talk about the problem of the caravan not having a Xuanxian in charge, Qu Gan spit out the letter with a strange look on his face, "It's just a caravan, so does it need a strong Xuanxian to be in charge?"
Lin Yu frowned and wanted to refute.
Qu Gan waved his hands and said excitedly, "We are not going to do business with the human race!"
"Those savages are cruel and want to kill us every day."
"In the past, there were people in our tribe who wanted to do business with the human race, but several caravans all died outside. Later, the great elder personally issued an order strictly prohibiting us from transporting things to the human race."
Lin Yu's mouth twitched.
To the demon race, are the human race so cruel?
However, he was still a little curious, "If you walk all the way from our place, won't you encounter robbers or something like that?"
"Of course there is." Qu Gan nodded repeatedly, "But we, the Great Elder, have made an agreement with the nearby robbers. They will let us, the Wandering Spirit Tribe, pass."
"As for the robbers further away, it all depends on the caravan's own capabilities."
Lin Yu frowned, "Then, aren't caravans going far away all dangerous?"
Qu Gan nodded with deep understanding, "Long-distance caravans are basically led by experienced angels. Although they are dangerous, the annual casualty rate is less than 10%."
10% may not seem like much, but considering the total number of caravans of the Wandering Spirit Tribe every year, this number of casualties is still staggering!
"People die every year, so why do we have to go to such distant places to do business?" Lin Yu was confused. "The nearby areas are already very large. Isn't it enough to meet the needs of our tribe?"
The Youling Tribe is a small tribe governed by Xuanxian. Not to mention half of Dongsheng China, the commercial resources of Yinguang Lake alone are enough for them to consume!
"You can't do business even if you die? How can that be done!" Qu Gan said seriously, "The Great Elder has said that the future of our tribe depends on us continuing to do business. If we stop, our tribe will stop. develop."
"In the end, our tribe will completely decline like other tribes that have disappeared."
"As for why you want to do business in such a far place..." Qu Gan didn't understand this. "You can ask the great elder when you meet him."
Lin Yu thought for a while and nodded happily.
A mere Xuanxian, what is there to be afraid of?
However, 2 hours later, Lin Yu was still on the road.
The Youling Tribe covers an area almost the same size as a human mansion. At the speed of a top-level Qi Refining monk, it would take almost three hours to reach the center of the tribe.
Lin Yu hadn't flown so far for a long time, and he almost dozed off.
Fortunately, the destination is close at hand.
An hour later, Lin Yu arrived in front of the huge tent in the center of the tribe.
As a commercial tribe, the Youling Tribe specially made the assembly hall of the elders into a tent style.
At this time, thousands of people had gathered in front of the 100-meter-high tent.
Lin Yu followed Qu Gan to the back of the crowd, and together they looked up at the high platform in front of the tent.
On that high platform, an old man with white hair and white beard looked down at everyone with a kind smile.
He said, "I haven't seen so many young people together for a long time. Seeing you, I feel like I see the hope of the tribe."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from below.
Lin Yu was a little curious and sent a message to Qu Gan, "Brother, why does the person above not look like a great elder?"
Although the person above is a Xuanxian, his style does not look like that of a strong man who rules an entire tribe.
"That's how the Great Elder is, very kind." Qu Gan waved to the Great Elder above him and shouted, "Great Elder! I, Qu Laosan, am here too!"
The old man with white hair and white beard smiled at him and waved.
"Look! Look!" Qu Gan looked excited, "The Great Elder waved to me again!"
Lin Yu: (ーー)
I don’t quite understand you groupies.
At this time, the Great Elder continued to speak, "Today, the reason for calling everyone together is nothing else. The main reason is that the previous discussion between us and Black Mist City in Juyunduan Gorge has achieved results."
"This negotiation was successful!"
As soon as the words fell, thousands of people burst into excitement, with deafening cheers and laughter.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment. He quickly pressed Qu Gan, who was bouncing around, "Brother, don't be too hasty to be happy. Tell me first!"
"Where is this Black Mist City? What did we discuss with them?"
"How come you don't know about Black Mist City?" Qu Gan stared.
Lin Yu spread his hands and said, "Didn't I just come back?"
"...Yes, you may not have heard of it before when you were wandering outside." Qu Gan suppressed the excitement in his heart and couldn't help but beaming when he said, "Didn't I say before that we and Ju Are there any caravans coming and going in Yunduan Gorge?"
"The main person we interact with is Black Mist City."
"Like us, Black Mist City was also founded by snake demons. Their strength is similar to our tribe, but we can't build a city here."
"Because the tribe has very close ties with Black Mist City, someone suggested opening some fixed stores in Black Mist City to make it easier for us to do business."
