Shushan, Tongtian Peak.
At this moment, Master Wen Yuan and four mountain-holding elders, Wang Xuanling, the leader of all peaks, Old Man Sikong, the leader of Guxuan Peak, Tantai Jing, the leader of Yushan Peak... no more than ten people were discussing matters in Wuliang Palace with serious expressions.
In addition to the top leader of Shu Mountain and the elder of Zhenshan, the other three are Wang Xuanling, who is the leader of all peaks, Old Man Sikong, who is highly respected, and Tantai Jing, who is often called upon because of his extraordinary intelligence.
These people are probably the current decision-making group of Shushan. Unless it is a major event that must be made public, all thirty-five peak leaders will be called to a meeting.
As for Emperor Nv Feng, she has never liked to attend such occasions because it would delay her sleep; if she came, it would be because other people would not like to come...
So only when something big happens, I ask her to attend the meeting together.
"Xianyuan Pavilion refused to sell the Demon Subduing Pestle to Shushan in advance, but said that we can get a 10% discount on the final price." Wang Xuanling said in a deep voice.
"Ten percent off?" Elder Dan Ding heard this and said, "It's quite a lot."
"As expected, I still can't win it in advance." The guardian elder also sighed leisurely.
Xianyuan Pavilion must have some credibility to do such a big business in Taotie City. If every time the treasures for sale were announced, people from all over the world would come to buy one of them in advance, then there would be no need to hold an auction.
But after all, we still have to give some face to the Shushan Sect, so we offer a 10% discount to make up for it.
This is understandable.
"The Demon Subduing Pestle must return to Shu Mountain." Elder Si Lu said in a strong tone, "The Six Demon Exterminating Treasures have made great achievements in Shu Mountain. Now that they are alive, we must welcome them back!"
"Having said that, people from the Penglai Sect might also try to steal it from us..." Old Man Sikong said, "After all, they have the demon-slaying knife, and they should also want to collect the Six Demon-Slaying Treasures, right?"
Shushan had some minor frictions with Penglai Shangzong in the past few years because of the Six Treasures to Eliminate Demons.
There was once a senior from Shushan who entered the mysterious realm of Xuanming with a demon-slaying knife, but fell into it, and the demon-slaying knife was lost along with it. Decades ago, Taoist Chiniu of the Penglai Sect picked up this divine weapon in the mysterious realm of Xuanming.
According to the established rules in the world of immortality, since the people of your sect have lost the treasure in the secret realm for so many years, it is considered an ownerless treasure. If someone else explores the secret realm and gets it from it, then whoever finds it gets it.
But the significance of the Six Demon-Slaying Treasures was extraordinary after all. The Shushan Sect went to discuss it and wanted to exchange the demon-slaying knife with other treasures. This was reasonable.
However, Chiniu Taoist was very fond of the demon-slaying knife and directly rejected the Shushan Sect's trading intention.
Not counting the mutual bonuses between the six demon-slaying treasures, a single demon-slaying knife is also a magic weapon that can be ranked in the top 100 of the Ten Thousand Treasures. It is true that most people will not exchange treasures of this level.
After some disputes, the matter finally came to nothing.
And this time the Demon-Subduing Pestle appears, Penglai, who already owns a Demon-Slaying Sword, will most likely join the competition. After all, the six demon-killing treasures complement each other, and the two pieces together are more powerful.
"Yes, even if we win this kind of magic weapon at the auction, it will definitely be worth a sky-high price." Elder Chuanjian pondered, "How can I, Shushan, compete financially with Penglai?"
The emergence of the divine weapon will inevitably attract countless looters, and it is not surprising that the final price will be high.
Penglai Shangzong is located on three islands, rich in natural resources and countless spiritual plants. It is the most blessed place for immortals in Kyushu. Shushan's financial resources and strength were somewhat weak in front of Penglai.
Although it is said that as long as the materials are enough, you can mint as many sword coins as you want, but when those sword coins are in the hands of others, they will eventually have to come to Shushan to exchange for resources.
If the Shushan sect minted a large amount of sword coins to buy things, and then immediately raised the price of its own resources, it would be a temporary advantage. But the consequence of doing this is that no one will be willing to take you to play with the Shushan sect in the future, and your credibility will be completely ruined from now on.
The consequences are more serious than missing the magic weapon.
Elder Si Lu thought for a while and suddenly said: "Why don't you just rob it?"
"Pfft -" Tantai almost spit out his tea as he took a sip of tea, and he said quickly: "Elder Silu, think twice before going to Taotie City to rob the magic weapon. If this behavior is exposed, Shushan will be discredited immediately... The gains outweigh the losses!"
After a pause, he said: "We will compete with Penglai. If the strategy is right, we may not lose. After all, we can use the power of the entire Immortal Sect, and the gaps between Penglai factions are very deep. The most we can do is compete with Penglai. Fang Hu’s faction fights.”
Penglai Wonderland is just a general name, which includes Penglai, Fanghu and Yingzhou three fairy islands.
At first, the upper sect of Penglai lived in Mirage Mountain, and the lower sect was distributed on the three islands.
However, after competing with the expansion of the Tianxing Divine Sect that year, the number of people in the Penglai Sect soared, and Mirage Mountain could no longer bear the burden. So Penglai Shangzong ordered all his disciples to move to the three islands below.
Only after reaching the seventh realm can one be qualified to open a cave in the Cloud Mirage Mountain above the three islands and live in the cave with his family and disciples.
This move resulted in a consequence that was not thought of at the time, that is, Mirage Mountain was no longer monolithic. Because of their different origins, the later great powers were naturally divided into three factions.
Every powerful person wants to allocate resources to his own fairy island and promote more of his young people to high positions, so that they can become their own assistants in the future.
Over time, the gap between the three factions gradually deepened.
Because the leader of this generation was born in Penglai Immortal Island, the Penglai faction is currently the strongest. For example, Master Yang Yuhu, Taoist Huanglong, whom Chu Liang had met, and Taoist Bai Lin, who had been to Shushan last time, were both from the Penglai sect.
But Fang Hu and Yingzhou factions are not without strength. After all, the trees are big and have deep roots. The Taoist Red Bull who holds the demon-slaying knife is from the Fang Hu faction.
Naturally, people from the other two factions would not help him compete for the magic weapon.
Master Wen Yuan listened to their discussion. After a while, he raised his hand slightly and ordered: "Elder Chuanjian and Tantai, you two took out 80% of the sword coins in the library and rushed to Taotie City to participate in the auction. The Demon Subduing Pestle has been the magic weapon of Shushan for thousands of years, please be sure to bring it back."
Elder Chuanjian and Tantai Jing solemnly accepted the order: "Yes!"
…
"I have never seen so much money in my life..." Wen Yulong looked at the several storage instruments on the table and exclaimed.
It's full of Suzaku coins.
After the incident in the restaurant, rumors about the shortage of God-Gathering Pills became even more widespread, causing some cultivators who were in need but were waiting for a price reduction to make another round of emergency purchases.
When the alchemy shops saw this, they immediately looked for Chu Liang with red eyes.
Surrounded by so many people, it was natural that Chu Liang would not sell them all to Bao Dan Tang. So he divided the God-Gathering Pill in his hand into five parts and gave them to five large pill shops at the price of two Suzaku coins and three pills.
It's just that the price for the portion given to Baodan Hall has been reduced a bit.
Baodantang was treated differently, and Elder Sun thanked him personally. He felt that this Shushan young hero was very generous.
The other alchemy shops all knew that Chu Liang's God-Gathering Pill came from the Baodan Hall, so they had no objections to this. Anyway, even at this price, they can still make a lot of money.
What they want now is to go back and ship the goods quickly. Suddenly a large number of God-Gathering Pills flow into the market, and the price will definitely drop in an instant, and those who ship slowly will suffer.
Wen Yulong watched Chu Liang's operation throughout the whole process and was amazed.
After this series of operations, Chu Liang turned 60,000 sword coins into 100,000 Suzaku coins. The two were almost equivalent, and the net profit was 40,000. He has also gained the friendship of several large alchemy shops in Taotie City. He will definitely be easy to talk to when doing things in the future... he will have all the face.
You earned their money and they have to thank you.
It's just magical.
"Thank you for your help this time. Is there anything you want to buy?" Chu Liang smiled and said, "I'll pay for it."
Wen Yulong's eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"
"Well..." Chu Liang thought for a while and handed over a storage magic weapon, "Forget it, I'll give you some dividends."
There are one thousand sword coins in it, which is not a small amount for Wen Yulong.
But it was definitely just a drop in the bucket when it came to the materials he needed for his fantastic ideas. If he were really open to buying it, Chu Liang might have to go back to Shushan in tears.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chu." Wen Yulong accepted the dividend, and naturally he would not be dissatisfied with it. He turned to ask: "After selling out the God-Gathering Pills, what else are we going to do? Are we going back now?"
"Don't worry, you will naturally spend money after making money." Chu Liang said: "I have something I want to buy. I don't know if it is available in Taotie City."
"What is it?" Wen Yulong asked.
"Human-faced mandrill." Chu Liang replied.
This yin object can create a big-headed doll. It may not be as powerful as some other magic weapons, but it is crucial to Chu Liang's growth.
It can be said that the reason why he is able to have such a peaceful time today is all because of the two big-headed dolls carrying the weight.
Chu Liang only has four words to say to this big-headed baby who works hard and works hard all year round... the more, the merrier.
It's just that this kind of ghost is extremely difficult to find. He paid attention to it for a long time and never encountered a third one. Now that he was in Taotie City, a place where Kyushu's wealth of things gathered, he wanted to look for it again.
"That seems to be a rather rare ghost, right? What is Senior Brother Chu looking for that thing for?" Wen Yulong asked curiously.
Chu Liang thought for a while and could only answer mysteriously: "I am destined to this thing."
Wen Yulong looked at the riddler in front of him and didn't bother to ask any more questions. He just said: "Then go shopping tomorrow. If you really can't buy it, you can go to Xianyuan Pavilion and leave a commission. If there is any treasure they want, they can Help with the search and I will notify you as soon as there is any news."
Chu Liang smiled and said, "That's very good."
