The first three articles of the contract describe the specific methods of assistance, and the other three articles specify the binding terms of both parties:
Fourth, Tongzhou Commercial Bank does not intervene in the daily affairs of the iron ore, and the ownership belongs to Ziyuan Sect. However, the refined iron produced is sold by Tongzhou Commercial Bank, and the price follows the market.
Fifth, when the Ziyuan Sect encounters a strong enemy attack, Tongzhou Commercial Bank will protect its safety, unless a force stronger than Tongzhou Commercial Bank invades.
Sixth, Tongzhou Commercial Bank opened a branch in Tuyan City and established shops and auction houses. Zi Yuanzong was responsible for protecting their safety. If other forces open branches or shops in Tu Yan City, the decision must be made after joint discussions between the business bank and the Ziyuan Sect, excluding existing shops.
Zhou Yang doesn't have any opinions on the first few models. They provide you with more than three million spirit stones and five thousand mortals, which can be said to be a helping hand. It is reasonable to use fine iron to offset the bill, and it is understandable that the price is lower.
Moreover, you have to pay interest when borrowing spiritual stones, and the interest charged by Tongzhou Commercial Bank is not high. Calculated on a one-year basis, it is much lower than the interest rate Zhou Yang paid when borrowing spiritual stones.
But he was quite critical of the last one. The meaning of this paragraph is: Important matters in Tu Yancheng must be reported to Tongzhou Commercial Bank, and decisions can only be made with their consent. For Ziyuan Sect, this was equivalent to losing half of Tu Yancheng's dominance.
Wang Wuji also signed such a harsh contract, which was really a feat of endurance. According to Zhou Yang's temper, even if he couldn't get a spiritual stone, he wouldn't sign it. This was equivalent to the Ziyuan Sect turning into a subsidiary sect of Tongzhou Trading Company.
In fact, Zhou Yang is also a little extreme. Let’s not talk about whether it is affiliated or not. Even for a sub-level sect like Wanjianmen in Anping, if they want to destroy the current Ziyuan Sect, they will not suffer too much loss. It is definitely not a lose-lose situation. situation, let alone the four major factions in Anping.
With the protection of Tongzhou Commercial Bank, no sect in Anping City dared to attack Ziyuan Sect easily. While others are protecting your safety, you still want to have the final say in everything. There is nothing like this in the world.
Moreover, the signing of the contract with Tongzhou Commercial Bank was approved by the Ziyuan Sect Elders Council. Except for the sect leader Wang Wuji, only the guardian elder Chen Yan among the eight elders objected. His thoughts were similar to Zhou Yang's, and he also had opinions on the last one.
But at one to seven, he could not stand alone and had to agree with the decision of the Presbyterian Council, but he felt resentful towards Zhong Pengfei. If Zhong Pengfei hadn't been the one pulling the strings, the sect leader Wang Wuji would not have signed such a contract that was humiliating to the sect.
In fact, it is not that other elders are betraying their clan to seek glory. The current situation is not as good as others. Whether they can get out of the predicament, the support of Tongzhou Commercial Bank is crucial. Besides, signing contracts with other sects may not necessarily lead to such results. As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world.
Although Zhou Yang complained for Zi Yuan Zong, he had already been removed from the list and was just a spectator, so there was no use worrying about it. However, the contract is not binding for the shops that have entered Tu Yan City before, and it also restricts the merchants that will enter Tu Yan in the future. This is also a good thing for Yangtian Pavilion, as it can reduce many competitors.
But then again, Tongzhou Commercial Bank's opening of branches and stores in Tuyan City will also have a great impact on Yangtian Pavilion. Fortunately, it will take some time.
Yangtiange can use this time to step up operations, fast in and out, and earn as much as it can. When Tongzhou Commercial Bank's store opens, Tu Yancheng's spiritual stones will not be as profitable as they are now. Although Tongzhou Commercial Bank did not deal with low-level monster materials before, it is hard to say after settling in Tu Yancheng.
While feeling emotional, what he was most concerned about was when Zi Yuan Zong would repay his debt. As a result, after waiting for two days, there was still no response.
He knew that yesterday was the day for the delivery of the spirit stone, but it seemed that there was no movement.
He was going back to Anping to meet up with Pu Zheng today, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. But the person who signed the contract with him was his uncle, and the contract stipulated that it should be paid in full within one month, so he couldn't rush it.
If Tongzhou Commercial Bank hadn't helped him, he would have been able to wait with peace of mind, but after the commercial bank delivered the spirit stone, he became worried.
Because now Zi Yuan Sect needs spiritual stones everywhere, more than three million sounds like a lot, but it is nothing when compared to Zi Yuan Sect with tens of thousands of disciples. If Zi Yuanzong uses up all his money in the next few days, he will be ready to cry without tears.
Just as he was about to set off, Zhong Pengfei sent someone to deliver 100,000 spirit stones and a letter.
The letter stated that Ziyuan Sect would pay Yangtian Pavilion 50,000 spiritual stones first, and the 100,000 owed would be paid off as agreed.
Originally, the 50,000 spirit stones would not be paid to Yangtian Pavilion now because the agreed period has not yet arrived. But Zhong Pengfei told Wang Wuji that it was the Tongzhou Trading Company that Yangtian Pavilion's big shopkeeper helped contact, and he was kind to the Ziyuan Sect. When Wang Wuji heard this, he immediately allocated 50,000 spirit stones to pay to Yangtian Pavilion in advance.
It's not that Wang Wuji doesn't want to pay it all, but that the Ziyuan Sect is too poor now. The more than three million spirit stones can only be dispersed for emergency purposes. Only when the mining of concentrated iron ore officially resumes will the sect's predicament be alleviated.
However, Wang Wuji promised that once the deadline is reached, regardless of whether the mine is restored or not, he will pay Yangtian Pavilion the remaining spiritual stones as agreed.
The other 50,000 yuan was the deposit for purchasing Violet Pill and Big Rodan.
Ziyuanzong asked Yangtian Pavilion for 100,000 spiritual stones of Ziluo Dan and Da Luo Dan, and will pay for all the spiritual stones after the goods arrive.
Purple Luo Dan is a pill that improves the cultivation level of Lingtai Realm, and Daluo Pill is a pill that improves the cultivation level of Tianyuan Realm.
There are three types of elixirs that can improve cultivation below the Golden elixir realm, namely Bai Luo Dan, Purple Luo Dan and Da Luo Dan. The first two are named after their colors, so they are white and purple respectively. The last kind of Rodan is colorless.
In today's world of cultivation, the higher the level of the cultivator, the worse the effect of using elixirs to improve cultivation. When you reach the golden elixir realm, ordinary elixirs have no effect on improving your cultivation.
Even in the Tianyuan realm, the effect of Da Luo Dan on improving one's cultivation level is very limited, it is just an auxiliary elixir. For cultivators below the Tianyuan realm, the improvement effect of Violet Pill and White Rod Pill is still good.
So since the Great Rod Pill has limited effect on improving Tianyuan cultivators, why not use it for Lingtai cultivators? This is because this elixir is refined for Tianyuan cultivators, and there are several elixirs in the formula that can harm the spiritual consciousness of Lingtai cultivators. After taking Da Luo Dan, their spiritual consciousness simply cannot bear it.
However, the consciousness sea of Tianyuan cultivators has already been formed, and the power of their spiritual consciousness is far beyond that of Lingtai realm cultivators. Those kinds of elixirs that damage their spiritual consciousness will not hurt their spiritual consciousness.
The Ziyuan Sect specializes in these two elixirs because the Tianyuan and Lingtai cultivators in the sect have suffered too much in the beast tide and are in urgent need of replenishment.
After this period of business, Zhou Yang has personally done everything and has a deep understanding of the prices and functions of elixirs, magical instruments and various materials.
The market price of each Violet Pill is thirty yuan for a first-grade spiritual stone, and the price of a Great Rodan is three hundred yuan each. According to the previous order price of Zi Luo Dan and Da Luo Dan, which cost one hundred thousand spirit stones, Yangtian Pavilion could earn twelve to three thousand spirit stones. The profit was still pretty good. This could also be regarded as Zi Yuan Sect's gratitude for his previous help.
Wang Wuji promised that he would still take care of Yangtian Pavilion if there is any business in the future.
Although he did not pay off the spiritual stones he owed, the result was still good, and Zhou Yangdao was also satisfied.
Before leaving, he called Mo Chenglong into the room, handed him a pill bottle in person, and said solemnly: "This is the Huang Ling Pill, which can restore spiritual power and improve cultivation. Based on my experience of taking it, practitioners in the middle stage of Lingtai will take it every day." Up to six pills, you give it a try and then adjust the dosage as appropriate."
"Huang Ling Dan! I've never heard of this kind of elixir." Mo Chenglong took the elixir bottle and said doubtfully.
"You will see the effect after you try it. But please do not tell anyone about this matter, otherwise you will be killed." Zhou Yang warned again.
Mo Chenglong's mind was racing, and he had some clarity in his heart. He nodded and said, "I understand. Uh, brother, do you think you can give Weinan some medicine?"
"Don't give it to him yet, wait until I come back."
"Okay, got it."
"Now that Yangtian's business is on the right track, we have to compete with Tongzhou Commercial Bank for time. You must work harder. If there is a surplus of spiritual stones, use them to purchase monster materials. You must be quick."
"That's what I have in mind. Tongzhou Commercial Bank will soon be stationed in Tu Yan. By then, we will be under a lot of pressure." Mo Chenglong nodded.
"Well, after I leave, you will be fully responsible for Yangtian Pavilion."
"Are you going to be gone for a long time?"
"I can't tell, maybe a few days, maybe longer."
"Oh. Take care of yourself then!"
"Take care of yourself too!"
After saying that, Zhou Yang turned and left.
He had long thought of handing Huang Ling Pill to Mo Chenglong. He was still hesitant before. However, after spending time in Yangtian Pavilion and fighting side by side with him against powerful enemies, he had already formed a life-and-death friendship. It was considered a passing decision. He passed his test, so he decided to give him the elixir before leaving.
As for Mo Weinan, he believed that Mo Chenglong's character would not give him the elixir privately. If he gave it, he would no longer provide pills. This would be another test.
Returning to Anping City, he directly found Liang Sanli. At this time, Liu Menglong had entered Dingbeicheng to clear the air, so he could only find shopkeeper Liang.
"It would have been better if you had come a few days earlier. Brother Menglong could have purchased these two elixirs in Dingbei at a lower cost than Anping." Liang Sanli said regretfully.
"How much difference?"
"About half percent. The key is to be careful."
"Then let's not talk about it. If we go now and teleport alone, it will cost us four thousand spirit stones to go back and forth. It's not worth the trip." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Yes, we have to wait to get ten people together. But we can't afford to wait. Tongzhou Commercial Bank won't give us too much time."
"Earn less, earn less, and buy it in Anping." Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"That's all. Leave this matter to me. I'll send someone to deliver it after gathering the quantity." Liang Sanli nodded.
Zhou Yang came out from him and went directly back to Lingtian.
Brother and sister Li Tong were very happy to see Zhou Yang. Especially Li Xing'er, her face was flushed, and she excitedly reported to Zhou Yanghui: "Little Yangzi, we are in the late Kaiyuan period!"
"Congratulations, keep working hard!" In fact, Zhou Yang had already seen it. After saying that, he handed two more pill bottles to the two of them.
