soon.
Three men and one woman arrived one after another.
As caravan monks traveling outside, each of them is equipped with a flying magic weapon.
Zhao Chongxiu, Zhao Chongyi, Zhao Chongming, Zhao Yonghuan.
Zhao Chongyi and Zhao Chongxiu were monks in the late stage of Qi training in Luo Kingdom, while Zhao Chongming and Zhao Yonghuan were promoted successively in Southern Xinjiang.
Zhao Yonghuan is the third monk in the "Yong" generation to awaken his spiritual roots, but he is the eldest monk in the "Yong" generation, and the second monk in the "Yong" generation to advance to the late stage of Qi training.
Since coming to southern Xinjiang.
Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been greatly improved, and the auxiliary elixirs are sufficient.
The cultivation levels of the Zhao family monks have all improved significantly.
There are seven newly promoted monks in the late stage of Qi training, and Zhao Chongming and Zhao Yonghuan are two of them.
The monk appeared in the later stage of practicing Qi with Zi generation.
It also means that the backbone of the Zhao family began to transition from the generation that worships characters to the generation that uses characters.
"I'm here with you today. There's something I need you to prepare for."
After the four people arrived, Zhao Yongqi got straight to the point and said: "The Zhao family is still in short supply of spirit stones. It just so happens that the great elder has been promoted to the foundation building stage. After discussing with the great elder, I plan to open a direct trade route to the Thousand Layers Alliance."
He said firmly: "We will leave immediately after the great elder comes out of seclusion. During this period, you are not allowed to go out. Inform the monks in the caravan, including mortals, to make relevant preparations."
After hearing this, the four of them looked at each other.
Finally, Zhao Chongxiu said: "Clan leader, are you a little too hasty? The distance between Qianzhong Cave and here is not short."
Zhao Chongxiu is already at the tenth level of Qi training, and is not far away from breaking through to the eleventh level. As the monk with the highest cultivation level in the caravan, usually the caravan's opinions are dominated by him.
Opening up business avenues is not just a matter of words.
If you want to earn spiritual stones through caravans, it is not feasible to just follow the well-known official route.
The official route is the safest and best, but the easy profits are basically controlled by those who come first. Even if the Zhao family reluctantly participates, the profits will be extremely meager, and the gains may not be worth the losses, and they may even lose money.
Don't follow the official path.
They can only open up their own business paths.
The most important thing is to find a safe foothold at every distance, and to deal with all kinds of clan forces on the road. Not to mention how to please, at least have a good relationship. There are also ways to avoid evil spirits and ghosts from all over the world, as well as rogue cultivators who are trying to rob the world, and so on.
Many things.
They have to be solved one by one before there is a business method that can be used.
Many difficulties can be explained without words.
Of course, Zhao Yongqi understood the other party's concerns and explained: "Business routes are definitely not something that happens overnight. This time we go to Qianzhong Alliance mainly through the official route. You are just a front station. The most important thing is to have good dealings with the forces along the way. , and the great elder also wants to go to Qianzhong Cave to purchase some magic tools such as exorcism talismans, the caravan is just passing by."
The words fell.
The expressions of the four of them relaxed slightly.
"That's it." Zhao Chongxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said humbly, "I didn't understand the clan leader's intention."
Zhao Yongqi was noncommittal and said with a smile: "After everyone goes down, we should start preparations early to see what items are most cost-effective to resell in Qianzhong Cave. We will leave immediately after the Great Elder comes out of seclusion."
"clear!"
Four people responded one after another.
In fact, Zhao Yongqi could have called only Zhao Chongxiu for this matter. The reason why he called all four people was to allow the news to spread faster.
...
Wait for the four people to leave.
Zhao Yongqi took out the formations stored in the Zhao family's inventory and set out at night, wandering up and down Weishan Mountain.
The Zhao family has a total of eleven sets of ninth-grade formations.
Zhao Yongqi, the first elder and the fourth elder each use one set, leaving eight sets left.
Originally, the third elder also occupied one set, but after his death, that set of formations was taken back.
Among these eight formations.
The Small Thousand Machines and Hundreds of Illusions Array has been placed at the Black Mountain Demonic Distraction Cave, so it cannot be used; the other set is at Zhao Chongxue's place, mainly to protect Zhao Fuyu, who has the qualification of three spiritual roots.
That leaves only six sets.
Zhao Yongqi planned to make the best use of everything and arranged these six formations in key places, such as the only way up Weishan Mountain.
Although it is of no use to monks in the foundation building stage.
But for ordinary casual cultivators in the Qi refining period, these formations can become the existence that takes away the opponent's life.
...
Noon the next day.
Weishan Palace.
"Clan Chief Zhao, I heard from fellow Taoist Chongxue that you have any news about the Shanling Ink Stone?"
Li Yuntian came to Weishan Palace early to wait.
It can be seen that he indeed attaches great importance to the so-called Shanling Ink Stone.
"Fellow Daoist Li, will you take a look at this first?"
Zhao Yongqi didn't talk nonsense. He tapped the storage bag with his left hand, and a black stone the size of a fist floated out and slowly floated in front of Li Yuntian.
He also wanted to know whether the black stone in his hand was the Mountain Spirit Ink Stone. After all, these stones once belonged to the Black Mountain Demon God. No matter how you think about it, they must be precious things, so he wanted to find out the use.
"This...is indeed the Shanling Ink Stone."
As soon as the black stone appeared, Li Yuntian's eyes lit up.
After touching the black stone with his own hands, he was completely sure that this was what he was looking for.
"Clan Leader Zhao, please give me a price. How many spiritual stones are you willing to sell this mountain spirit ink stone?"
Li Yuntian also understood that his expression would put him at a disadvantage in negotiations. But he knew better that when Zhao Yongqi chose to use the Shanling Ink Stone to seduce him, no matter how he behaved, his actions had actually revealed his feelings.
"Not urgent."
Zhao Yongqi slowly shook his head and asked: "Compared to the spirit stone, I am more curious about what the mountain spirit ink stone is and what it is used for?"
"If fellow Daoist Li is willing to tell me the origin of the Shanling Black Stone, we can discuss a deal." He came to Li Yuntian not just to sell some spiritual stones.
"The origin of Shanling Ink Stone?"
Li Yuntian frowned slightly. He didn't know what he thought of, but his eyes suddenly brightened: "Could it be that Patriarch Zhao has more than one mountain spirit ink stone in his hand?"
Zhao Yongqi smiled and said nothing.
No admission or denial.
This is something that can be easily deduced. Thinking about it from another person's perspective, if he were in Li Yuntian's position, he could guess from these words that the other party had more than one piece of Shanling Ink Stone.
but.
What Zhao Yongqi didn't expect was.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Li Yuntian touched his nose and suddenly sighed: "If Li guessed correctly, I'm afraid all the Shanling Ink Stones on Weishan Mountain fell into the hands of Patriarch Zhao."
"how do I say this?"
Zhao Yongqi looked suspicious: "Could it be that Li Yuntian already knew about the existence of Shanling Ink Stone?"
"That's right."
Li Yuntian patted the storage bag and took out the same black stone, but it was smaller than Zhao Yongqi's.
