Chapter 233: External Induction and Internal Cohesion
Unable to cope with the demands of other tasks, they are eager to expand their strength.
The original idea of recruiting the Tiandao Alliance to join became even stronger.
It just so happens that now that the three sects of Yuanwu Kingdom have already settled in and business is booming, it is time to talk to them about arranging for the Tiandao League to settle in.
Taking Nie Ying and Xuan Er with him, Sun Zecheng first visited the Tianxing Sect, which had made a lot of money from its exclusive array business.
"Hey! What brings Master Sun and his two wives here? Please come in and have a cup of tea!" Elder Hu of the Tianxing Sect greeted Sun Zecheng warmly when he saw him.
When Cang Songzi from Wanmiao Temple next door and Elder Bai from Shenbing Sect learned that Sect Leader Sun had arrived, they hurried over to accompany him.
"How is business?" Sun Zecheng asked casually.
"Thanks to Master Sun, business is doing well!" Elder Hu's face was full of joy.
"Thanks to Master Sun, it's okay," Cang Songzi and Elder Bai responded with smiles on their faces.
Sun Zecheng was too lazy to beat around the bush and said directly: "Sun came here today to ask you a favor. Since the business of the three companies is still good after they moved in, I won't beat around the bush."
"Master Sun, please let me know if you have anything to say!" The three elders said in unison while making inquiring glances at each other.
"Sun would like to ask the three sects to help arrange for the Tiandao League to move into the Lingshou Mountain Safe Trade Zone."
"If the Tiandao League moves in, Huangfeng Valley is willing to give away 10% of the shares of the Spirit Beast Mountain Auction House."
"No problem. We are happy to see this happen." After exchanging glances, Tianxing Sect's Elder Hu patted his chest and said
"After the deal is done, each of the three clans will give 2% of the shares of Lingshou Mountain Auction House, for a total of 6% of the shares."
Sun Zecheng directly offered the transaction fee.
Collaboration without interests is not solid. It's okay to pat your chest and do these things, but in the end it all comes down to interests.
"2% each, a total of 6% of the shares of Lingshou Mountain Auction House?!" Only 10% was given to the Tiandao Alliance, and 6% was given to the three of them as the matchmakers. Elder Hu and the other two could not help but be overjoyed.
"That's right!"
"It's a deal!" Elder Hu and the other two looked at each other and said quickly, apparently afraid that Sun Zecheng would go back on his word.
"It's a deal!" Sun Zecheng thought of the expressions of the other five sects of Yue State, especially Fu Yunzi. It was true that the close ones were never satisfied no matter how much they were given, but the distant ones would be extremely happy if they were given a little sweet treat!
"Pa" high-five to seal the deal.
"Then, I'll leave this matter to you three!"
"Master Sun, don't worry! We will take care of this matter!" Elder Hu of the Tianxing Sect patted his chest again.
Elder Hu continued, "However, if the Tiandao League moves in, once a month is too few flights! Sect Leader Sun, you have to increase the number of flights!"
"Let alone anything else, now even the disciples of my Tianxing Sect can't buy tickets to come here!"
Based on his previous experience, Sun Zecheng adopted the advance ticket sales system for this flight.
"Brother Hu has so much business doing formations that he can't finish it all." Cang Songzi said enviously.
After some explanation, Sun Zecheng and the other two finally understood.
It turns out that traditional large-scale mountain protection arrays are like major projects that often take two to three years.
Although the Kingdom of Yue and the Six Demonic Sects had negotiated peace, the three sects on the east side of the Kingdom of Yue, Huadaowu, Tianque Fort, and Qingxu Sect, were always highly distrustful and vigilant of the Six Demonic Sects, and they were all eager to complete their deployment as soon as possible.
In addition to the core formation, a large number of secondary protective formations were to be built by the Tianxing Sect.
The Tianxing Sect has taken on a lot of safety protection projects, and needs a large number of disciples to come and carry out the work.
Unexpectedly, visiting Lingshou Mountain has become a fashion in Yuanwu Country, and flight tickets are hard to come by.
It greatly affected and slowed down the progress of the Tianxing Sect's project.
So Elder Hu specifically proposed to increase the number of flights.
"It is necessary and appropriate to increase the number of flights. I will arrange it later." Sun Zecheng had no reason to disagree with this proposal and agreed immediately.
"Open some more branch flights to the five factions of Vietnam." Elder Hu continued to suggest.
Although this suggestion contains selfish motives, it is to facilitate the disciples of Tianxing Sect to go to other places for construction.
But if Lingshou Mountain wants to become the trade center of Tiannan, this is necessary!
"Okay!" Sun Zecheng agreed.
"Yue State is located in the center of Tiannan Continent, which happens to be the intersection of four forces. It is naturally a place where goods are distributed. It is even more rare that Master Sun has such courage and vision. The safe trade zone will surely prosper! It will not be surprising that it will become the largest trading city in Tiannan Continent one day! The sooner you come, the better!"
I didn't expect that Elder Hu, a foodie, not only loves to eat but also has a lot of knowledge! These words gave Sun Zecheng a new understanding of Elder Hu.
"Hehe, um, after this is done, can you sell me two extra pieces of Glazed Beast meat?" A foodie is a foodie. In the previous sentence, Elder Hu was talking about the trade situation in the Tiannan Continent, and in the next sentence he asked about his favorite Glazed Meat.
"No problem!" Sun Zecheng had just returned from hunting and had sufficient supply, so these two glazed beasts were a piece of cake.
"Hey, can I get an advance on one?" Elder Hu asked shamelessly.
Without saying a word, Sun Zecheng released a complete level five Glazed Beast without even taking its inner elixir.
"Ha! That's great! How many spirit stones are these?" Elder Hu was overjoyed and asked while rubbing his hands.
"This is for the three of you. I'll leave the matter of the Tiandao League moving in to you in your care."
The elders of the three sects were all very happy, not to mention the inner elixir of the Glazed Beast.
The meat of the Liuli beast can be eaten. It is the favorite of Elder Hu of the Tianxing Sect.
Glazed animal skins can be used to make intermediate talismans, and monster blood can be used to make cinnabar for drawing talismans. Cangsongzi of Wanmiao Temple loves it the most.
The claws, skeleton and skin of the Liuli Beast can all be used to refine weapons. Elder Bai of the Divine Weapon Sect loves it the most.
"Thank you, Master Sun! The matter of the Tiandao Alliance settling in is left to us!" the elders of the three sects said in unison.
"That's it, goodbye!" Sun Zecheng was about to say goodbye.
"Wait a moment!" Elder Hu hurriedly took out a set of formation tools and presented them with both hands, "The Big Dipper Formation of the Tianxing Sect. Please accept it, Sect Leader Sun."
Sun Zecheng once bought a set of Yin-Yang Dual Formation from the Tianxing Sect for 2800 spirit stones. This set, with the name "Tianxing", was obviously much more advanced than the previous one.
It seems that Elder Hu returned the gift based on the value of a Level 5 Glazed Beast Demon Pill plus Glazed Meat.
Elder Bai of the Divine Weapon Sect took out two sets of top-level magic weapons, which were the thirteen flying needles "Red Thread Escape Light Needles": "It is rare that Sect Leader Sun brought his two wives here. The Divine Weapon Sect's small products are not a token of respect. Please accept them."
Nie Ying and Xuan'er have always shown their cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment stage. Elder Bai has no idea that they are both at the Golden Core stage, so it is reasonable for them to take out top-level magic weapons.
Wanmiao Temple Cangsongzi is a little worried,
Wanmiao Temple is known for its talismans, but it lacks materials for intermediate talismans, so it has always mainly produced and sold elementary talismans. Naturally, elementary talismans are not good enough.
Cang Songzi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I will use this colored glaze hide to make two amulets that can resist the attack of the fake pill, and then send them to Master Sun."
Isn’t this the same as the talisman used in previous discussions on Taoism at Tianwutai?
Although Nie Ying and Xuan'er now have better advanced talismans, they are still rare treasures for other foundation-building disciples, such as the head of Fenglin Pavilion.
"Oh, you are so polite!" Sun Zecheng accepted them all with a smile.
Speaking of it, the production-oriented sects know how to behave. I remember when my sect leader took office, people from the other five sects of Yue State came empty-handed. They just said congratulations and that was it.
Of course, the Huangfeng Valley itself is not a sect that knows how to behave.
Remember the Blood Forbidden Land, Huangfeng Valley was the landlord, and Master Li Huayuan led his disciples to the place a day in advance to stand and wait, and they just laughed and laughed when they met! Not to mention the gifts, there was not even a cup of spiritual tea!
This is what we call playing the role of a good host!
……
Walking out of the Tianxing Sect's miniature market, Sun Zecheng was getting angrier and angrier. He had given too much to the other five sects of Yue State! The most important thing was that they didn't read well!
They were so happy to be given 2% of the shares to each of the three sects of Yuanwu State that they wanted to "make a deal" immediately, fearing that if it was too late Sun Zecheng would go back on his promise.
The only thing we have to win over the Tiandao League is 10% of the shares. Now, the five factions of Yue State, except for the Qingxu Sect, each has 10% and so on! The feeling is that we are allies, and you have to share any benefits with us!
No! Now that the four major forces have not yet settled in, there is no reason to take back their shares, but they have to share some of the responsibilities. They can't just take the benefits without doing any work all day long!
Thinking of this, Sun Zecheng took Nie Ying and Xuan'er to the auction house.
At the auction house, Sun Zecheng asked his master Li Huayuan to always prepare the best spiritual tea to greet customers who came to bid or auction goods.
Master Li Huayuan likes to use his power for personal gain. Upon hearing this, he immediately bought the best spiritual tea leaves.
From then on, the auction house became a regular gathering place for the six sects of the Yue Kingdom to drink tea.
The tea was free and the best spiritual tea. Those who drank the tea were all Golden Core Elders, of similar status, and they just gathered together because of similar interests.
We should find the Jindan elders from the six sects of Yue Kingdom to come to the auction house.
……
"Hey, the master is here! Have some tea!"
Surrounded by a group of Jindan elders, Li Huayuan, who was sitting in the main seat, saw Sun Zecheng and others coming in at a glance.
He did not dare to act like a master to this apprentice and immediately stood up and invited him to have tea.
The Jindan elders from the other five sects also stood up quickly, offered their seats and invited them to sit down and drink tea.
"I won't drink anymore. I just drank from the Tianxing Sect. I have a few words to say to you."
"Master Sun, please speak."
"Master Sun, please give your instructions."
The elders from the other five sects spoke up one after another.
Raising his hand to signal for silence, Sun Zecheng said slowly:
"I just asked the three sects of Yuanwu Country to introduce the Tiandao League to the Lingshou Mountain Safe Trade Zone, and they took on this task."
"At the same time, Elder Hu of the Tianxing Sect proposed to increase the number of flights and open flights from the five sects to Lingshou Mountain. I think this is a good proposal. What do you think?"
"support,"
“This is what I want.”
“It really needs to be opened.”
"Okay! I've already thought it through, but I haven't seen Master Sun build an inn."
"We have wanted to open it for a long time, and we are just waiting for Master Sun to give the order."
Seeing the popularity of the route from Yuanwu Kingdom to Lingshou Mountain, the five sects actually also wanted to open it. Naturally, the Jindan elders of the five sects expressed their support.
From the sound of it, it seems that he had had this idea a long time ago, but just didn't dare to speak out since Master Sun didn't give the order.
"Okay, it's settled. All routes will be opened within a month. I don't have enough manpower in the Yellow Maple Valley, so you guys will be responsible for the routes from the five sects to the Spirit Beast Mountain. The flights from the five sects will go directly to the middle of the Spirit Beast Mountain without the border post station for transfers."
This transportation was considered a benefit by the five sects. Huangfeng Valley did not want to give up this benefit to the five sects, so the five sects naturally applauded.
Sun Zecheng had to raise his hand again and press it to signal for silence.
"The second thing is, I'm going to use 10% of the shares to win over the Tiandao League. What do you think after comparing them?"
There was silence. None of the five sect elders spoke, with a strange expression on their faces, half smiling and half not smiling.
"You don't think that just hosting an auction is worth so much, do you?" Sun Zecheng asked bluntly.
It was quiet again.
After a while, Fu Yunzi whispered, "We, the six factions of Yue State, are allies."
"Yes, because we are allies. I, the Yellow Maple Valley, treat you well in every way."
"But you also have to take on the responsibility of being an ally!"
The elders did not dare to speak, and silence fell again.
"As allies, you are stationed in the safe trade zone. As long as someone violates the rules of the safe trade zone and causes trouble, it is the business of the Yellow Maple Valley and your business as allies!"
"This is as we should. If anything happens, our Giant Sword Sect will not stand idly by," said Elder Shi of the Giant Sword Sect.
The people of the Giant Sword Sect are honest, they just lack business thinking, but their character is good. Among the other five sects in Yue State, Sun Zecheng likes the Giant Sword Sect the best.
With the Giant Sword Sect taking the lead, other sects followed suit and expressed their willingness to help as long as there was any problem in the safe trade zone.
This is more like it, it looks like an alliance!
By integrating the resources of the five factions and expanding their default responsibility of only taking care of the safety and order of the auction house to covering the entire safe trade zone, Sun Zecheng had achieved his basic goal and was ready to leave.
"Uh, Master Sun, please wait a moment, there is something else." Elder Tang of the Yanyue Sect said hesitantly.
"What is it?"
"Um, when will the Tianwutai Forum be held?" Elder Tang mustered up the courage to ask about the topic he was concerned about.
"Yes, when will the Tianwutai Forum be held?" Elder Shi of the Giant Sword Sect agreed.
Sun Zecheng did not realize that he was now the invisible leader of the six factions of the Yue Kingdom. They were all waiting for him to speak. He only reacted when he heard it.
It seems that the Yanyue Sect hopes to gain some benefits from the discussion on Tianwutai. After all, the Yanyue Sect is the long-term overlord of the seven sects of Yue State. 5% of the total revenue of Yue State for the first place in the discussion is not a huge sum of money!
The Giant Sword Sect is also full of confidence. Without the Spirit Beast Mountain, a sect that wins by numbers, the Giant Sword Sect is indeed very competitive. Even if it is second, 3% of the total revenue of the Yue Kingdom is a lot of money.
Not only the Giant Sword Sect, but also Fu Yunzi of the Qingxu Sect had his eyes rolling around.
However, Huadaowu and Tianque Fort were much calmer.
"As for this matter, it just so happens that the elders of the six sects are all here, so you can just discuss it and do it. Generally speaking, just do what you did in previous years. Fairness and transparency are the key!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Fairness and transparency are the key!"
This statement was unanimously agreed by everyone.
……
After leaving the auction house, the next place is the martial arts arena.
Elder Hu is right. We need to increase the number of flights from Yuanwu Kingdom to Lingshou Mountain. This is just the three sects of Yuanwu Kingdom. If the Tiandao League joins... that amount of people.
Forget it, don’t think too far ahead, just focus on doing your current job well first.
When I saw Elder Huang, I found that Guest Elder He Li was not there. He had gone out to patrol the trade zone.
I told Elder Huang about the increase in flights.
"Let this newly recruited guest elder He Li be responsible for the flight safety of the route." Sun Zecheng said.
"I feel like Haoran Pavilion won't give up and will cause trouble sooner or later." Elder Huang expressed his concerns.
"The elders from the other five sects of Yue Kingdom will also take action." Sun Zecheng briefly told Elder Huang about his visit to the auction house.
"Also, I'll give you thirty more high-level talismans. If your Nascent Soul arrives, use them to greet it. Don't be frugal. I'll make up for the number of talismans you use later."
"Okay!" Since the responsibility scope of the Jindan of the other five sects of Yue Kingdom has been expanded to the entire Lingshou Mountain safe zone, and there are sixty high-level talismans that can compete with the Nascent Soul, Elder Huang naturally had no objection.
