Shushan, Tongtian Peak.

At this moment, Master Wen Yuan and the four mountain-holding elders, Wang Xuanling, the leader of all peaks, Old Man Sikong, the leader of Guxuan Peak, and Tantai Jing, the leader of Yushan Peak... no more than ten people were discussing matters in Wuliang Palace with serious expressions.

Except for the top leader of Shu Mountain and the elder of Zhenshan, the other three, Wang Xuanling, are the first among all the peaks, Old Man Sikong is highly respected, and Tantai Jing is always called upon because of his extraordinary intelligence and resourcefulness.

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 is unwilling to sell the Demon Subduing Pestle to Shushan in advance, but it said that we can get a 10% discount on the final price." Wang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

"Ninety percent off?" Elder Danding heard this and said, "It's quite a lot."

"Sure enough, I want to win it in advance but it's not possible." The guardian elder also sighed leisurely.

For Xianyuan Pavilion to do such a big business in Taotie City, it must have some credibility. If every time the treasures for sale are announced, there will be people coming from all over the world to buy one of them in advance, then there will 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 Shushan senior who entered the Xuanming Secret Realm with a demon-slaying knife, but fell there and lost the demon-slaying knife. Decades ago, Taoist Chiniu of the Penglai Sect picked up this magical weapon in the Xuanming Secret Realm.

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 others explore the secret realm and obtain it from it, then whoever finds it will be the one who gets it.

But the significance of the Six Demon-Slaying Treasures was extraordinary after all, so the Shushan Sect went to discuss it and wanted to exchange the demon-slaying knife with other treasures. This was reasonable and 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 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-Slaying Treasures complement each other, and the two of them together are more powerful.

"Yes, even if this kind of magic weapon is obtained at the auction, it will definitely be worth a sky-high price." Elder Chuanjian pondered, "How can we, Shushan, compete financially with Penglai?"

When the magic weapon appears, it 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 numerous spiritual plants. It is the most blessed place for immortals in Kyushu. The financial resources and strength of Shushan are 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 casts a large amount of sword coins to buy things, and then immediately raises the price of its own resources, it can take advantage of it for a while. But the consequence of this is that no one will be willing to take you to play with the Shushan sect in the future.

All credibility is ruined.

The consequences are more serious than missing the magic weapon.

Elder Si Lu thought for a while and suddenly said: "How about just grabbing it?"

"Pfft -" Tantai almost spit out his tea as he took a sip of tea, and he quickly said: "Elder Silu, think twice about 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.

The Fang Hu faction fights."

Penglai Fairyland 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 Penglai Sect's population soared, and Mirage Mountain could no longer bear the burden. So the Penglai Sect ordered all its 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 higher positions, so that they can become his assistants in the future.

Over time, the estrangement between the three factions gradually deepened.

Because the sect leader of this generation was born in the 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 came to Shushan last time, are both from the Penglai faction.

But Fang Hu and Yingzhou factions are not without strength. After all, the trees are big and have deep roots. The Taoist Chiniu who holds the demon-slaying knife is from Fang Hu's 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 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 rampant, causing some practitioners 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, Chu Liang naturally felt "bad" and sold them all to Bao Dan Tang. So he divided the God Gathering Pills in his hand into five parts and sold them to five large-scale pills at the price of two Suzaku coins and three pills.

Danpu.

It’s just that the price for the portion given to Baodantang has been reduced a bit.

Baodantang was treated differently, and Elder Sun thanked him personally. He felt that this young knight from Shushan was very generous.

The other alchemy shops all know that Chu Liang’s God-Gathering Pill comes from Baodan Hall, so they have no objection to it. Anyway, even at this price, they can still make a huge profit.

What they want now is to go back and ship the goods quickly. Suddenly a large number of Shen 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 also gained the friendship of several large alchemy shops in Taotie City, and he will do more work in the future.

It must be easy to talk to... and you have all the face.

You have earned their money, and they still have to thank you.

It's amazing.

"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?"

"Hmm..." 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 for the materials he needed for his whimsical ideas, they were definitely just a drop in the bucket. If he really started buying them, 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 then asked: "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 enjoy such a peaceful life today is all because of the two big-headed dolls carrying the weight.

Chu Liang only has four words to say about 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 has been paying attention to it for a long time and has not encountered a third one. Now that he is in Taotie City, a place where Kyushu's wealth of things gather, he wants 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 leave a commission at Xianyuan Pavilion. If there is any treasure they want, they can do it.

Help with the search, and I will notify you as soon as there is any news."
