The ancestor said: "This has been confirmed many times through various reliable channels. There can be no mistake."
"..." The third elder was speechless. Since the ancestor is so sure, there is basically nothing to doubt. But if Ye Feng, the director of the Institute of Mortal Immortal Civilization, is the White Dragon King, then things will be difficult to handle. Previously, if the White Dragon King was just a member of the dragon clan, there would at least be the possibility of equal cooperation, but if it was Ye Feng, then the ambitions of the Homura clan would no longer be possible.
Leaving aside the matter of seeking Ye Feng's protection, he asked Ye Feng to refine the Duer Dan together. As a member of the Mortal Immortal Culture Research Institute, Ye Feng would naturally not refuse if he needed help from the president. But in that case, the exclusive right to operate a strategic-level elixir like Duerdan would no longer be exclusive. The premise of his family's ambition must be that the management rights of Duerdan can only be in his own hands, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
If you can't understand it, then you can understand Mortal Immortal Civilization as a super large company. An organization like Mortal Immortal Civilization will inevitably develop into an unimaginable behemoth in the future. Then at that time, Du Edan's demand will naturally It is immeasurable. If the exclusive rights to run Edan are in his own hands, then the Homura Clan will be another company that cooperates with Mortal Immortal Civilization on an equal footing. If he is an equal partner, it may not be impossible to compete with them in the future. And this is the ambition of the Homura clan.
Even if the Mortal Immortal Civilization wants to annex the Flame Shiki clan, forces outside the Mortal Immortal Civilization will not allow it. In this way, they can do business with both the Mortal Immortal Civilization and forces outside the Mortal Immortal Civilization. But if part of Duerdan's management rights is also in Ye Feng's hands, how can he do business with him? Anyone with a bit of business acumen can understand this.
Imagine that I do business with you, and my product still requires your participation. In this case, how can I negotiate the price with you? If the price is not satisfactory, if you don’t help me, my product will be gone, so what else can I do? Bargain with you. And doing business with you, Ye Feng, means doing business with all ancient clan forces. In the future, if other ancient clans want to buy Duerdan, then they will not do business directly with the Yanshi clan, but directly go to Ye Feng and ask Ye Feng to come over. Get yourself a ridiculously low price. Even in the future, all the Dane Dan from the member families of the Mortal Immortal Civilization Research Institute will be purchased through the institute as a middleman. At that time, as long as Ye Feng is not stupid, he can introduce a regulation.
"If you are not a member, please go talk to the Homura clan. If you become a member, you can enjoy the same low price as a member."
So if you are the helmsman of a family, will you become even more attracted to the mortal civilization in order to cross Edan?
Simply put, the results of tens of thousands of years of hard work by the Homura family can only be used to make wedding dresses for others. How could Yan Wulin endure this?
You must know that if the White Dragon King is only a member of the Dragon Clan, it doesn't matter if he sells it to the Dragon Clan at a low price or even sends it to the Dragon Clan for free. Then he can at least ask other ancient clan forces for a sky-high price to make up for his losses. Moreover, the power of the dragon clan is strong enough, so he can have an extra protective umbrella.
To sum up, the White Dragon King is a member of the Dragon Clan and is the top pick of the Homura Clan, but if the White Dragon King is Ye Feng, he is the bottom pick. But the fact is that the Homura clan won the lottery. How can the ancestor not be troubled by this kind of thing.
At first, the Yanshi clan became a vassal family of the Queen Mother of the West, refining medicine for the Queen Mother of the West. With the rise of the Queen Mother of the West, the Yanshi clan did usher in a moment of glory. However, with the decline of the Queen Mother of the West, their own family also inevitably declined. This is Historical lessons, so from that time on, the Homura clan instinctively rejected becoming a vassal of other people and forces again. After all, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you can only strengthen yourself.
After thinking about this, the ancestor and the third elder were silent. This situation was already a dead end. If he cooperated with Ye Feng, his ambition to reach the top and become a giant family in the fairy world would be completely gone. If he did not cooperate, the family would be They don't have to wait until the future, because they don't believe that Ye Feng of the Mortal Immortal Civilization can stop Dao Ancestor.
In fact, it seems like there are two choices, but in fact there is only one choice, which is to put down your ambition and cooperate with Ye Feng.
After a long time, the ancestor sighed deeply and said: "Should we send people to participate in the exploration of the secret realm of unlocking the Heaven's Lock? What do you think?"
The third elder remained silent.
The ancestor knew the concerns of the third elder, so he said: "I know what you are worried about. Although our Yanshi family is a family of cultivators, we are too deeply involved in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are a business family. Therefore, most of the elders are You are short-sighted, Yanhong, you are one of the few in our clan who can take a long-term view, so I want to hear your opinion."
We often talk about immediate short-term interests and long-term interests. It seems that long-term interests are very high and can win in the end, but why are most people willing to choose short-term immediate interests? Are those people short-sighted?
In fact, this is not the case. The short-term benefits are mainly about speed, while the long-term benefits are about slowness in long turns. The short-term benefits are immediate and can be seen before your eyes. However, long-term interests often face losses in the early stage. To implement long-term interests, you not only have to bear the loss of early interests, but you may also have to endure a lot of obstruction, complaints and incomprehension. In fact, there is no distinction between the two. It still depends on the choice of each leader. There is nothing to say about this.
The third elder thought for a while, and after a long time, said: "Although whether you participate in the exploration of the secret realm or not, it makes no difference to our ancient clan who make a living by refining elixirs, but I think we should still respond to the call of the mortal civilization. "
"First of all, although the unknown fairyland continent represents danger, it also represents opportunity. In the exploration of the secret realm, there may not be an opportunity for our clan to have another sixth-grade alchemist. As long as it is possible, judging from the current situation, You can still give it a try”
"Secondly, our clan is also one of the members of the Mortal Immortal Civilization Research Institute. Responding to the director's call is what members should do. We can't make things clear with the institute yet. It's not that time yet."
Hearing this, the ancestor suddenly smiled and said: "I heard that you admire the White Dragon King very much, or that you admire Ye Feng very much."
The third elder was shocked. He didn't know if the ancestor's words had any deep meaning. Could it be that he suspected that his elbows were turned outwards, but he still said frankly: "I do admire the White Dragon King, but I may not necessarily admire Ye Feng. And even if I I admire Ye Feng, but I am a member of the Homura clan, and Ye Feng is just an outsider after all, and I know very well who to side with when choosing between the two."
The ancestor laughed loudly and said: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."
The third elder bowed his hands and said, "Yes."
