Shuangfeng Valley has long had the ability to refine the Little Foundation Establishment Pill, and no one has ever dared to come and snatch the Little Foundation Establishment Pill.
In the final analysis, it comes down to strength.
Neither the casual cultivators nor the surrounding cultivators have the ability to challenge Shuangfenggu.
In fact, when they conquered the Zhao family's mountain gate, the Shuangfenggu monks went on a killing spree and killed a large number of monks who attacked the Zhao family on the spot.
Afterwards, Shuangfenggu also punished many loose cultivators in the name of Zhao family's revenge.
Shuangfenggu has come forward, and the Zhao family's matter is over.
After this, the number of casual cultivators in the surrounding area was greatly reduced. Those monks who were not involved in this matter have also become much more honest.
Next, Meng Zhang planned to find out among his disciples who had the talent for taming animals, so as to prepare for the red-feathered eagle after it hatches.
Meng Zhang's free days didn't last long when he received news from Zhang Zhanlin from Mingshafang City that Zhou Shengkao had something to do with him.
Meng Zhang had to put aside his family affairs and hurried to Mingshafang City.
Seeing Zhou Shengkao again, Meng Zhang felt a little unhappy. This damn guy instigated himself to attack the Zhao family. Later, the Shuangfenggu monk appeared and not only swallowed most of the loot, but if he had run slower, his life might not have been saved.
Fortunately, the Shuangfenggu monks were busy cleaning up the Zhao Family Mountain Gate and did not chase down the fleeing monks.
Of course, in Zhou Shengkao's eyes, if Meng Zhang was the kind of guy who didn't know current affairs, didn't know how to advance or retreat, was blindly greedy, and only knew how to gain unlimited benefits, then he deserved to die in the Zhao family.
Meng Zhang's encounter at the Zhao family this time was both a test and a warning to Meng Zhang.
When Zhou Shengkao saw Meng Zhang, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point.
"Brother Meng, you and I met each other and we hit it off very well. Now that there is an opportunity to make a fortune, I immediately thought of you, brother."
Meng Zhang, who already knew Zhou Shengkao as a person, was not interested at all in the opportunities he mentioned.
How can this person take advantage of himself in vain if he does good deeds? There must be a big hole in it.
Before Meng Zhang could refuse, Zhou Shengkao said to himself: "More than a hundred miles east of your Taiyi gate, there used to be a Baizang earth mine. During the Sand Monster Rebellion more than ten years ago, , this mine was destroyed by a sand monster. Later, we were too lazy to rebuild the mine, so we abandoned the mine."
Hearing Zhou Shengkao talk about the abandoned mine, Meng Zhang's heart tightened, and he almost thought Shuangfenggu already knew that he had entered there.
If it weren't for his Qi nourishing skills, Meng Zhang would have almost run away immediately.
"In the past few days, someone in the door has thought of that mine again. They feel that it is a pity that such a good mine has been abandoned like this."
"But mining Bai Zang soil itself is not very profitable. If we really want to mine it ourselves, some people in the sect think it is useless."
Zhou Shengkao didn't notice Meng Zhang's reaction and continued talking.
Meng Zhang relaxed a little now. Zhou Shengkao didn't look like he had discovered his relationship with the abandoned mine.
"So, someone in the sect suggested that we simply rent this Baizang earth mine to other forces for mining, and the sect would just collect some rent on a regular basis."
"When I heard the news, the first thing I thought of was you, Brother Meng."
"I heard that your Taiyi Sect has been living in a tight situation. If you rent this mine for mining, you can at least make more money."
Listening to Zhou Shengkao's endless words, Meng Zhang felt helpless. He desperately wanted to avoid the abandoned mine, but Zhou Shengkao tried to push him.
Just as Meng Zhang was about to refuse, Zhou Shengkao seemed not to notice his reaction and continued talking.
"Brother, I fought hard for this opportunity for you. It's hard to come by, so you must seize it."
Meng Zhang knew that if he refused directly, the other party would definitely become suspicious.
"But Brother Zhou, I have never had any experience in operating a mine. We have never mined the Baizang Earth Mine."
After hearing Meng Zhang's excuse, Zhou Shengkao said with a smile: "The Baizang Earth Mine is the best mine to mine. As long as there are enough mortal miners, it can be mined continuously."
"In addition, I heard that you have a lot of contact with Feihong Sect's peripheral caravans. You can ask him for his experience in mining, and you can also sell the Baizang soil mined to him."
"Of course, you only need to sell a small part of the mined Bai Zang soil to him. The rest of the Bai Zang soil will be bought secretly by our sect at a fair price."
"As for how to conceal the output, how to make accounts, and how to deceive people into overwork, that's your job, brother."
After hearing this, Meng Zhang finally understood Zhou Shengkao's intention.
Letting Taiyimen rent the Baizang Earth Mine is just a pretense. Most of the mined Baizang soil will be sold to Shuangfenggu, and a small amount will be sold to Lao Bingli, making him think that this is the entire output of the mine.
As far as Meng Zhang knew, Bai Zangtu was a low-level material. It was used only when refining certain magic weapons, but it had no major use. On the contrary, Feihong Sect has always purchased Bai Zangtu in unlimited quantities. And after thinking about it carefully, Meng Zhang discovered that many Bai Zang soil mines seemed to have some vague relationship with Feihong Sect.
Meng Zhang knew Lao Buwei, who was from a peripheral force of the Feihong Sect. He was specifically responsible for acquiring Bai Zang soil for the Fei Hong Sect, and was also responsible for transporting supplies to some Bai Zang soil mines.
It seems that Bai Zangtu must have some purpose that he doesn't know about.
Now, Shuangfenggu's secret acquisition of Bai Zangtu must have its own uses.
After thinking about this, Meng Zhang knew that he would definitely not be able to refuse Zhou Shengkao's request.
If you are stupid enough to know Shuangfenggu's plot and don't get on Shuangfenggu's ship, then what awaits you may be the end of being killed and silenced.
As a vassal force of Shuangfeng Valley, Taiyi Sect should naturally be in the camp of Shuangfeng Valley. But the matter also involves the Feihong Sect, so the matter is not simple.
Many thoughts flashed through Meng Zhang's mind, but time did not pass long.
The expression on his face did not change, and he quickly changed his words: "Since Brother Zhou thinks highly of my younger brother, I will leave this matter to my younger brother. I will definitely handle it properly, and I will definitely satisfy Brother Zhou."
Zhou Shengkao showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Let me just say, Brother Meng is definitely a person who understands current affairs."
"Brother Meng helped me, Shuangfenggu, relieve my worries, and I, Shuangfenggu, won't treat you badly."
"Let's do this. During the mining of Bai Zang Earth Mine, Taiyi Sect's annual offerings will be waived."
It seems that Zhou Shengkao also knows how to employ people and knows that people can't work in vain.
Taiyi Gate was originally exempted from three years of enshrinement, which has expired this year.
If offerings were collected according to the original standards, it would be nothing to the current Taiyi Sect.
However, the spiritual fields in Taiyimen Mountain Gate have already planted more profitable spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses. According to the value of these spiritual flowers and spiritual grass, it would cost a lot of spiritual stones to hand over a certain proportion of the offerings.
As for the Sweet Water Oasis and Chaoyang Slope side, there is no need to worry since the newly reclaimed spiritual fields are exempt from tax for the first three years.
With Zhou Shengkao's words, it helped Taiyi Sect save a lot of expenses.
