"Two forces? Which two forces?" Xue Tong asked.
"The Daxuan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, and the Moyun Sect in the central and southern regions of Muzhou. The two high-end spiritual items business has deteriorated sharply, and they are asking to join the alliance, or ask the merchant alliance to reduce its territory and withdraw from its sphere of influence." The visitor said.
"What does Tu Sheng mean?"
"It is good to join the alliance and expand, but the conditions cannot be agreed upon. Tu Sheng wants to ask the high-level merchant alliance to help out and show off his strength to take the initiative."
"Let's go, Tu Sheng has decided to make up for my wishes!"
Xue Tong stood up and said that he knew that the opportunity in front of him was excellent. If the business alliance grew bigger, he would become an important member of a powerful force and occupy the main channel for trading spiritual objects. The benefits would be immeasurable.
As the saying goes, there is no way to cultivate immortality without spiritual beings!
Magical weapons, elixirs, martial arts and martial arts are all spiritual objects and can be bought and sold.
…
The outer suburbs of Xuandu.
At the Merchant Alliance Headquarters, Tu Shaoguang invited ten high-level heavenly monks, including Tong Baifeng and Yunhai Guanzhu.
"Hengshan Sect Leader and Moyun Sect Leader will arrive at the village in three days. If an agreement can be reached, the central and southern region of Muzhou will be the world of the Merchant Alliance. You must work together to make it happen." Tu Shaoguang said.
"Luo will definitely go all out to serve for the Merchant Alliance!" Xue Tong, an old friend of Tu Shaoguang, expressed his positive attitude.
"Well, acting by ear, Tu thought it was a good thing to join the two sects. It was just a matter of the price. The business alliance relies on spirit birds for communication, and raising spirit falcons requires a lot of money. Each of Hengshan and Moyun has two billion, plus forty people. Maybe join." Tu Shaoguang said, showing his cards.
"What Alliance Leader Tu means is what everyone means!" Tong Baifeng followed closely.
…
In the past few years, Jiuxiao Village has undergone extensive construction work, and the buildings are magnificent. The main hall has a triple eaves and a mountain top, and its specifications are second only to the royal main hall.
The square in front of the temple covers an area of 100 acres, with a forest of pines, cypresses and ginkgo trees beside the wall, which is full of vitality despite its majesty.
The Hengshan Sect is the great Xuanmen of the Central and Southern Regions. In the early stage of Wusheng, the leader of the sect brought five followers to the meeting, as did the Moyun Sect.
The Jiuxiao Merchant Alliance has twenty-three large trading houses and more than a hundred second-level spiritual items shops. It has become the first-class power in the Central and South Region.
Tu Shaoguang worked hard for many years and finally established a business alliance. Now it even has the power of Gao Hengshan Sect and Moyun Sect.
Those who deal in spiritual items are all very ordinary people. The owners of spiritual items in business alliances often have extensive connections and good cultivation.
Therefore, Hengshan Sect Moyun Sect did not dare to look down upon him and seriously discussed the matter of joining the alliance with Tu Shaoguang.
"The territory of the Merchant Alliance is vast. Hundreds of Spirit Falcons need to be acquired innately. The staple food 'Miao Fu Guo' needs to be grown tenfold, and the number of manpower in the transit area also needs to be doubled. The price cannot be lower."
After the three parties sat down and exchanged greetings, Tu Shaoguang said.
There were arguments and arguments, and the focus fell on the comparison of strengths and who had the advantage.
"The Jiuxiao Merchant Alliance is as powerful as the Hengshan Sect and the Moyun Sect. Why wouldn't you two Taoists do it? The asking price of two billion is not high." Tu Shaoguang said.
"Really? Apart from fellow Taoist Tu, there are no other special figures in your alliance." Leader Moyun said without any yin or yang.
Moyun Cult's strange monks gathered together, including many foreigners. Xue Tong noticed that the leader of Moyun Cult was tall and bald, with a deep breath, bright eyes, and the peak of his cultivation.
"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in our alliance. My fellow Taoists and I are evenly matched, but I dare to say that there is no one better than this Taoist Master Luo Sheng."
Tu Shaoguang directly threw Xue Tong, which was surprising.
"Hmph, if Fellow Daoist Luo can hold on for half a stick of incense in front of Elder Shen Gonglong, your alliance will be considered a winner!"
Leader Moyun glanced at Xue Tong and said disdainfully.
Xue Tong wanted to show off, stabilize the business alliance, and scare others, so he said: "Well, just follow the leader's wishes."
Shen Gonglong strode out of the house and stabbed the square in front of the palace with his mace, causing broken bricks to fly everywhere.
Shen Gonglong was extremely angry. Leader Moyun had to give him three points, but Xue Tong, who was a mere Dacheng, dared to say "no one can surpass him?"!
The people of the Jiuxiao Merchant Alliance, except Tu Shaoguang, were all puzzled. Tong Baifeng was ranked second in cultivation. Why should "Luo Sheng" be allowed to play?
Xue Tong walked down the steps expressionlessly, ten feet away from Shen Gonglong.
Shen Gonglong couldn't wait to make his move.
He shouted loudly and swung his stick again.
The mace stirred up the black wind and turned into the shadow of a black devil, howling and rushing.
Xue Tong held a small golden hammer in his hand, which suddenly expanded and rolled up thick golden clouds.
"Bang!"
The Falling God Hammer Cloud instantly shattered the demonic shadow, and Shen Gonglong fell ten feet away.
"Elder Shen Gong accepts the concession!" Xue Tong exerted control and did not seriously injure his opponent.
Even Tu Shaoguang was surprised.
Tu Shaoguang practiced the Kuimu Sword Curse for several years and was amazed. He knew that this technique was definitely not Xue Tong's strongest method. He guessed that his cultivation level must be higher than that of Tong Baifeng. However, he still did not expect that Xue Tong would win with one move. Shen Gonglongcha's Not even a little bit.
The rest of the process was uneventful. Hengshan Sect and Moyun Sect fully accepted the price demanded by the Merchant Alliance and claimed that the Lingshi personnel would be in place in half a month.
"Taoist Luo has advanced cultivation, and Tu proposed to serve as the deputy leader, alongside Tong Baifeng." Tu Shaoguang said after Hengshan Zongmoyun's disciples left.
"Luo's knowledge and experience are not as good as those of Taoist Tong, so he dare not occupy such a high position. Luo is content to be a casual job." Xue Tong firmly declined.
After being polite, Tu Shaoguang finally made Xue Tong an elder, the same level as his confidant Yunhai Guanzhu.
…
With Xue Tong in charge, the scale of Zhou Lun's spirit shop expanded rapidly, with more than a hundred monks.
Xue Tong gives advice from time to time and does his best for the Jiuxiao Merchant Alliance.
Apart from practicing Qigong and tempering iron crabs, he only occasionally bought some elixirs and animal carcasses to ask if there was any special news.
The Merchant Alliance does not keep names in the trading of spiritual objects. Anyone who dares to name or reveal the identity of the buyer will be severely punished once discovered, ranging from having their hands cut off to being killed in serious cases.
The merchant alliance has hundreds of branches, covering a radius of more than 40,000 miles. The list of high-level spiritual objects is updated every half month. Except for particularly rare objects, it has almost everything needed for cultivation.
After gathering all the spiritual materials needed to hatch the corolla centipede eggs, Xue Tong kept them for later use and asked someone to create a magic weapon-level "fire storage plate".
He keeps a low profile, does not compete with others for profit, and maintains a peaceful situation.
Seeing that Tu Shaoguang was willing to contribute to the Merchant Alliance, Tu Shaoguang rarely issued orders. At most, he transferred some monks from the spiritual shop to prevent Xue Tong from becoming bigger.
Xue Tong responded to every request without any ambiguity.
Time flies, five years just clicked.
Xue Tong's Huntian Ju was tempered to the fourth level, and the Bone Puppet relied on the strange poison of the flower crown centipede to rise to the level of Heaven and Man.
Only twenty years have passed since his Maoli tribe exchanged treasures!
…
Tu Shaoguang suddenly transferred Xue Tong to Yangcheng, which was on the edge of the merchant alliance's territory.
His letter put it nicely, "There have been many troubles against the Merchant Alliance in Yangcheng, and powerful figures like Elder Luo are needed to suppress the situation. If there is evidence that the foreign sect is causing trouble, they can be punished without reporting."
Xue Tong was very dissatisfied!
"Tu Shaoguang was afraid that I would become too big, so he moved me to a remote place to dry out. Maybe he had his close associates monitor him early in the morning."
"Xue is a careful person. Why is the person named Tu so confused?"
What Xue Tong didn't know was that Tu Shaoguang couldn't stand Tong Baifeng's slander for many years, so he made this stupid move.
Tong Baifeng argued: "Luo Sheng deliberately kept a low profile. He must have a conspiracy. He might be doing something shady secretly."
Tu Shaoguang denied it several times, but could not stand Tong Baifeng's repeated instigation, and finally transferred Xue Tong.
Xue Tong was too lazy to be verbose and claimed that he would leave in a few days. Now he was extremely confident in his own cultivation, felt comfortable and would not be angry because of Tu Shaoguang's villainous actions.
"When will the elder take office? It's time for the younger one to report back to the alliance leader." The visitor asked.
"It will take about a month, Alliance Leader, don't be in a hurry."
"No need to worry, I'm just asking."
Xue Tong sent a message to Zhou Lun to meet, "Luo is about to leave, you need to be careful. I don't know if it is Tu Shaoguang who is suspicious or Tong Baifeng who is instigating it. In short, if you keep a low profile, it is best to ask the alliance to send an elder to take charge."
"Yeah, what the Taoist priest said is, I'll do it tomorrow."
…
Xue Tong traveled all the way to enjoy the scenery of Muzhou.
We arrived in Yangcheng in about one month.
The scale of Yangjing Trading Company ranks third in the Jiuxiao League. The shopkeeper, Zheng Zhengjiu, was shocked when he learned that Xue Tong was coming a few months ago.
After seeing him, he was respectful and even said good things.
"What is the situation in Yangcheng? The alliance leader sent me here to show that we attach great importance to it." Xue Tong asked.
"Not far to the east of Yangcheng, it is out of the control of the Merchant Alliance. People often cause trouble, and the Merchant Alliance is in poor condition."
"Looking for trouble?"
"It's just pretending to sell something. Someone actually bought it but didn't sell it."
"Such evil deeds are despised by the Mysterious World. Is it possible that the other party has nothing to fear?"
"I am not up to the level of cultivation, so I don't have many solutions. I reported it several times, but I didn't expect that Elder Lao personally took action."
"They are all the same person?" Xue Tong asked.
He shook his head solemnly.
"Well, the next time you encounter a suspicious monk, send a message to let him know!" Xue Tong said, passing a stack of talismans.
He temporarily settled in a trading house and ordered Zheng Zhengjiu to build another courtyard.
A few months later, I received a message that a strange customer came to the business house and wanted to buy a batch of unusual things.
Sea elixirs, sea monsters!
"Haisheng? Muzhou is located inland, thousands of miles away from the sea. Did the guest find the wrong place?" Zheng Zhengjiu asked in confusion.
"The Jiuxiao Merchant Alliance claims to gather spiritual creatures from all over the world, but how can it stump sea beasts with just a few sea medicines?" the young celestial being asked.
Xue Tong entered the room, took the list and read it, and said: "This alliance does not have these six kinds of spiritual objects. If fellow Taoists are willing to wait, the trading house will publish the demand to the entire alliance for purchase, but the hope is slim and the selling price will probably be three times higher than the price of the place of origin. Times!"
"Lu is willing to wait for half a year. If your business fails, it's best to close down. Don't bully others with your lies!" The young man surnamed Lu suddenly looked bitter.
"oh"
Xue Tongjian looked at his appearance and saw that the young man named Lu didn't seem to be here just to cause trouble, or that he was really in a hurry.
"What's your surname, Taoist friend?" Xue Tong asked.
"Lu Tingfeng!"
"Luo looked at these items and they seemed to be a formula for elixirs. Could it be that Taoist friend wanted to refine the medicine to save people?" Xue Tong said.
"So what?" Lu Tingfeng said tremblingly.
"My Taoist friend must have been seeking medicine everywhere, but he returned in vain. He was urgently ill and sought medical treatment. He asked about Yangjing Trading Company and Jiuxiao Trading Alliance." Xue Tong guessed.
Lu Tingfeng's expression changed drastically. He could no longer control his nerves and shouted miserably: "Taoist Master, save me!"
Xue Tong invited Lu Tingfeng into the inner hall and asked, "What disease does Fellow Daoist Lu suffer from, and why does he need this six-flavor elixir?"
"It's not that I'm sick. Junior sister is seriously ill and her life is not long."
"What's wrong?"
"There is an unexplainable strange disease, the meridians and the sea of fahai are shrinking. Lu looked up the prescription in...an ancient book. Eighteen elixirs were used to make an elixir, but six doses of Haisheng were missing!" Lu Tingfeng said.
*Let’s do this for now, I’ll make some modifications tomorrow*
