"Well, this is a great plan!"
Yan Baisong glanced at Leng Xun, and then said: "It is not appropriate for Elder Leng to come forward directly, as it can easily arouse suspicion, but he can help secretly and make suggestions. I will go to the deputy leader and bring Elder Leng and the necessary personnel to handle this matter with full authority!"
…
Xue Tong and Hou Qingdan greatly increased their speed and used both boats, horses and beasts to complete the journey of more than 30,000 miles in five days.
There are many pedestrians on the road, and the clouds are steaming in the distance. Under the colorful clouds, Huicheng is bathed in the warm sunshine and wind.
"Be patient in everything!" Xue Tong reminded.
"Cheer up, get it done as soon as possible, and be smart in what you say and do." Hou Qingdan tugged on the reins and retorted.
Huicheng has no walls, and the number of houses and roads gradually increases until it is full of traffic and densely populated with high-rise buildings.
Xiashan Sect currently trades elixirs, and its suppliers are Siyan Trading Company and Wanke Pharmacy.
Hou Qingdan plans to start with old traders and visit them door-to-door to seek recommendations.
"No. 6, West Fourth Street!" Xue Tong knocked on the side door of the business house according to the address given by Chang Zhiqian.
As soon as the gatekeeper saw the black wooden sign in Xue Tong's hand, he immediately ushered the two into a gorgeous small hall.
The heavenly monk who was on duty at the trading house hurried over.
"The sect leader Hou Sheng!" Xue Tong recommended.
"Oh, it's a great honor for the senior sect leader to arrive. Unfortunately, Master Situ is not here, and Yao is just on duty."
Hou Qingdan explained the purpose of his visit, "Chang Zhiqian mentioned it five years ago. I wonder if the traveler has found a new source of medicine?"
"Yao will inform the owner now!"
He rubbed the talisman paper gently, and a very small blue light disappeared into the northwest.
"Yeah" Hou Qingdan drank the fragrant tea.
Xue Tong handed over the list of elixirs, a large bag of spiritual stones, and a storage bracelet for cold zone elixirs, and said: "Your firm needs the medicines, the medicine purchase list for this sect, and the 40% payment."
"good!"
Yao was on duty to transmit the message, and two business executives entered the room to count the spiritual stones and elixirs.
…
In the early days of Situ Weiwusheng's reign, he held 70% of the company's shares and was in charge of a large business.
"I have asked several fellow Taoists that Xiashan Mountain is too far away and there are not many drugstores willing to do this business. Fellow Taoist Hou must either lower the qualifications and drug requirements, or raise the purchase price appropriately," Situ Wei said.
"My sect's purchase price is 10% higher than that of Huicheng. If the cost is too high, the merchants and pharmacies will have to follow the increase, which is unbearable. Fellow Daoist Situ will recommend a few. Can we talk to Hou first?"
Situ Wei recommended three trading firms.
Hou Qingdan worked hard and obtained the directories of four drug dealers from Wanke Drug Store.
…
"Tongchuanfang!"
"Situ Wei and the owner of Wanke Shop have both recommended it. This shop should be good." Hou Qingdan said.
The negotiation with Tongchuanfang went smoothly. Tongchuanfang is a cutting-edge drug dealer and is willing to accept Hou Qingdan's investment to expand production to supply Xiashan.
It is agreed that 30% of new drugs will be provided after five years, and will be increased to 70% in ten years...
"Xiashan Sect will need to send people to escort them in five years' time. The journey is far away and the routes are unfamiliar." said the master of Tongchuanfang.
"Well, the person who comes will contact us with the names of the shop owner and Hou Sheng." Xue Tong said.
Hou Qingdan paid 400 million spirit stones, packed up the documents issued by Tongchuanfang, and said: "The cooperation between the two sects must be kept confidential to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
"Senior Hou, don't worry..." Master Tongchuanfang said a lot.
…
Commercial guest house.
Hou Qingdan came forward and was ten times more powerful than Chang Zhiqian. In fifteen years, the supply of elixirs would be sufficient and satisfactory.
It takes about half a month to stock up Siyan Commercial Bank and Wanke Drug Store, and you can go shopping in Huicheng during the free period.
Xue Tong bought maps and ancient elixirs, as well as toxins unique to warm and tropical zones that he had never seen before. He spent money like water and spent most of his wealth.
Before Xue Tong and Hou Qingdan left, the owner of Tongchuan Square unexpectedly came to the door, demanding a refund and canceling the transaction!
"Hou Sheng...Xiao Ke really has no idea!"
"In the past few days, visitors have almost crossed the threshold of this boat. They are warned not to do elixir business with the Xiashan Sect."
Master Tongchuanbo said with a grimace.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful not to spread it randomly?"
"Such a big event is not impermeable to the wind, not to mention that Hou Sheng also met with a group of people from a trading company and a drug store." There is no way to verify how the shop owner's intention was leaked.
"Who are the visitors to Tongchuanfang?" Xue Tong asked.
"Tongchuanfang cannot afford to offend the Taoist people in this city!"
"It's inexplicable that many people acted in unison in a short period of time. There must be a mastermind behind it! Yi Hong Alliance?" Hou Qingdan guessed.
"I really don't know," Master Tongchuanbo said.
"You have five days to find out the instigators behind the scenes, otherwise the signed documents will be followed and you will break the contract and pay a 30% fine!" Hou Qingdan said coldly, waving his hand to signal the owner of Tongchuan Square to leave!
I received a reply three days later, and it was indeed the lobbying operation of the Yihong League. The Huicheng Sect more or less gave him face and warned Tongchuanfang not to do any elixir business with the Xiashan Sect.
The reason is nothing more than "more elixirs need to be supplied locally, and export sales will cause local prices to rise!"
Not only that, the pressure on Siyan Trading Company and Wanke Drug Store is also increasing day by day.
"Bastard!" Hou Qingdan was furious.
"The worst may have yet to come. Xue estimates that Yihong League will release rumors about clues to the Immortality Card next!" Xue Tong said.
Hou Qingdan gasped, "It's so vicious! The Yihong League is forcing the Xiashan Sect to attack, what do you think we should do?"
"First come first, get the moon near the water tower. The conventional method is to defeat Yi Hongmeng in Huicheng...Xue Mou has no way to deal with it for a while."
A few days later.
As expected, Situ Wei went to the guest house in person and sighed: "Fellow Daoist Hou, this may be the last transaction. If there are no special reasons in five years, Siyan Trading Company's elixirs will no longer be sold to your sect. There are rumors inside and outside the city. It was so bad that the business had to stop selling it.”
The new drug dealer failed, and the old business went bankrupt!
Wanke Drug Store is exactly the same.
Hou Qingdan was trembling, and reluctantly followed Xue Tong's suggestion, collected the elixir and left the city.
"If you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy things?" Xue Tong advised.
"What will happen in five years? The shortage of the elixir is a big deal!" Hou Qingdan said with cold eyes and gritted his teeth.
He turned around and glared at the strange monk ten feet behind him.
The two of them were still on the outskirts of the city, and there were many pedestrians on the road. However, Xiu Xiu stopped immediately after she and Xue Tong stopped, acting suspiciously.
"Senior, please stay here. Xiao Sheng invites you. Are Hou Sheng and Taoist Master Xue willing to go?" the stranger said.
"Oh, it seems that the rumors of the Yi Hong Alliance have spread throughout Huicheng!" Xue Tong thought to himself.
"lead the way!"
Hou Qingdan felt suffocated and worried that he couldn't find a clue. As long as it wasn't an obvious fire pit, there was no harm in going there.
"Which Xiao Sheng?" Xue Tong asked.
"Four hundred miles away in Xiaozhuang, Xiao Qianfeng."
"Why did Senior Xiao invite us to be guests?"
"Xiao Sheng only ordered me to invite people, but didn't tell me the reason." Xiaozhuang Heavenly Man said.
…
Xiaozhuang is magnificent and worthy of being the residence of the Martial Saint.
Hou Qingdan and Xue Tong knew that Xiao Qianfeng's invitation was 90% related to the longevity card.
Xiao Qian has a rich middle-aged image, appearance and temperament, more like a sophisticated businessman.
Xiao Qian smiled brightly, "If you two are willing to come, there must be clues!"
"What clue? Hou Mou still thinks that Xiao Sheng has channels for elixirs from other places!"
Hou Qingdan was half-serious and half-pretended to be confused.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't ramble. I'll tell you the truth. Xiao can roughly guess the clues about Yuhanshan's longevity card. The clues were from another longevity card many years ago. The clues were two images on a certain page in a book that were smeared with spiritual liquid. new map!"
Xue Tong's heart was shaken and his eyes moved slightly.
"Xiao is willing to do a business of longevity cards with you two." Xiao Qian said firmly.
In order to avoid suspicion, Xue Tonghou Qingdan never inquired about relevant rumors during his stay in Huicheng, and knew very little about the Duochangsheng Pai.
"Does Xiao Sheng want to sell clues?" Hou Qingdan asked doubtfully.
"Xiao wants to buy clues about the two of you. If you can, I will take care of the elixir."
Hou Qingdan was greatly disappointed, "It's a pity that there are no clues about the Immortality Card!" Then his face became full of anger, "Yi Hong Alliance has cut off our business because of this, we can't just let this matter go!"
Xiao Qianfeng chuckled, "Hou Sheng still refuses to reveal it, so Xiao will show you something."
Xiao Qianfeng showed half of the corridor map!
The painting style is clearly related to the Yuhanshan murals!
Xue Tong couldn't hide the turmoil in his heart, and simply said excitedly: "Treasure map? Where did Xiao Sheng get it?"
"Xiao Sheng is a certified monk!" Hou Qingdan's eyes lit up.
"Huicheng has long circulated that I hold a license, you two just don't know."
Xiao Qianfeng was extremely sincere, and since his words were so serious, Hou Qingdan no longer needed to pretend.
She straightened her posture and asked, "What deal do you want to make, fellow Taoist?"
"Twelve Immortality Cards are different from each other. They are as difficult to obtain as climbing to the sky, and the benefits are also as high as the sky. Don't think that you can get the Immortality Cards smoothly with the map in hand."
"I help Taoist friends get the cards and help run the elixir business. I just want to record a copy of the skills in the cards." Xiao Qianfeng said.
Hou Qingdan nodded, "You need to understand the location shown in the picture first before you can get the cards for subsequent adventures."
"Xiao's collection of maps is vast, and they are all in the attic of the Third West Courtyard. The two of them stayed in the hospital temporarily and studied them carefully."
Xiao Qianfeng was already prepared!
"What if we looked at the map and said there was no result?"
"Then let's break up. However, Xiao advises you not to do this to deceive others and take advantage of others. Don't forget to get the cards and elixir business. We still need Xiao's help!"
Xiao Qianfeng spent a lot of money and took the risk of the map being viewed in vain.
"If the location is found, what should be the next step?" Hou Qingdan asked.
"You two invite Xiao and another person to go with you; or you can go by yourself, and after getting the longevity card, you can fulfill your promise and let Xiao record a copy of the exercises." Xiao Qianfeng's requirements are not high.
"Okay, give it a try!" Hou Qingdan said.
…
West Third Hospital.
Xue Tong had an indescribable feeling. He was certain that Xiao Qianfeng was a licensed warrior. He had benefited greatly and knew how powerful he was, so he painstakingly collected the maps.
A joint treasure hunt would most likely break up on bad terms, and Xiao Qianfeng's identity is unclear, so it's hard to say whether he might be hiding a secret plan.
However, the elixir business relies on people, and with the benefit of the map, it seems impossible not to cooperate with Xiao Qianfeng.
There are restrictions on the map, so it is not difficult to open it, but even after opening several maps, Xiao Qianfeng cannot escape Xiao Qianfeng's calculations.
Xue Tong and Hou Qingdan studied hard for several months, and finally found in an ancient atlas that the landforms of a certain place in Yuqiong Mountain were similar to Taoist murals.
Yuqiong is an ancient name. Six thousand years ago, the local Xuanmen thought the name of the mountain was too girly, so they changed its name to Jingshan!
After thousands of years of development, the mountainous landscape has changed significantly, and today's map is very different from the ancient map.
Jingshan Sect, Changsheng Brand!
