Li Fan, who quietly changed his appearance, sat in the corner, listening carefully to the conversations of the monks in the fortress.
"Have you heard that, the Immortal Alliance does not seem to plan to build a floating city in this Jiushan Prefecture."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"It's not because the space here is unstable. Although the Heavenly Master Dharma Image completely plowed Jiushan Prefecture, it did not change the characteristics of the space. The teleportation array still cannot be used stably."
As soon as this said, the monks suddenly realized.
"If you don't build a floating sky city... then, it's impossible for Wanxian Alliance to ignore such a large piece of land, right?"
"It's hard to say. Before, I could build a city based on the advantage of Jiushan Mountain. Now it's flat and there is no danger to defend. The most important thing is that the teleportation array cannot be used. Once it is surrounded, it cannot get quick support. Whether it is the defense cost or the effect, it is too poor."
"You know what's the matter! The Five Elders' Association was beaten by our Wanxian Alliance and came to ask for peace in person. Could it be that they dare to take the initiative to invade? What dangers can there be?"
"This fellow Taoist is so naive. Haven't you heard of the strength of strength and weakness? How can you determine the hero with a temporary victory or defeat? The last time we were able to win was just that our Wanxian Alliance was unpredictable to attack him. In my opinion, if both sides fight again, the victory or defeat is still unknown!"
"When our Wanxian Alliance was defeated before, that's not what you said."
...
The monks in the fortress were very keen on discussing the situation in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Everyone has their own opinions and argues endlessly, and no one accepts each other. It’s so lively.
Li Fan observed it and found that besides himself, there was another monk who only listened and did not participate in the conversation.
This person looks only in his thirties, with a black long gown and silver-white hair tie. Listening to everyone's discussion, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes.
Obviously, I don’t agree with the views of the monks present.
Li Fan smiled slightly, bought a pot of good spiritual wine, and sat in front of the other party.
"What do you call a fellow Taoist?" Li Fan asked with a smile.
"Huh?" The silver-haired monk was still full of vigilance for Li Fan's unreasonable dedication.
He did not answer Li Fan's question, but narrowed his eyes and kept looking at the familiar monk in front of him.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, don't be suspicious. I could see at a glance that fellow Taoist is so majestic, unlike ordinary people, and has a gully in his heart. He is also curious about the future situation in Jiushan Prefecture, so he wanted to take the liberty to ask fellow Taoist's opinions."
The silver-haired monk looked at Li Fan's sincere face, and after hesitating for a while, hesitated, he still let go of his vigilance.
After drinking the spirit wine, the silver-haired monk sent a voice: "Haha, you're asking the right person!"
"My name is Xin Hongzhang. If we talk about the level of knowledge, these people present can't compare with me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Fan quickly poured another cup for Xin Hongzhang.
Xin Hongzhang was very satisfied with Li Fan's attitude and sent a message saying, "For the sake of your fate, I will reveal it to you a little. Remember not to spread it."
Li Fan nodded repeatedly.
"Actually, those people are right. The Wanxian Alliance does not plan to build a floating city in Jiushan Prefecture. But this does not mean that the Immortal Alliance wants to give up here."
"Instead, the Immortal Alliance decided to establish the first free trade state in history here."
"Oh? Free Trade State?" Seeing the other party's serious appearance, Li Fan couldn't help but really become interested, "What is this?"
Xin Hongzhang said proudly: "Does the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce know? The Five Elders of the Wanxian League have been in opposition for many years and prohibited the circulation of their own goods. The Wanfa Chamber of Commerce in Jiushan Prefecture is located in the buffer zone between the two, and neither the Wanxian League nor the Five Elders of the Old Church can control it. Therefore, the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce was able to openly sell all kinds of treasures. Although the price was raised, there were still endless monks who came to buy from thousands of miles away."
"But these are all old yellow calendars. The Heavenly Lord Dharma Image shows its power, and the entire Jiushan State was razed to the ground. Although the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce has not completely died, it has also suffered heavy losses. It is difficult to be as good as before..." Xin Hongzhang shook his head.
"But the leader of the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is indeed a character. He actually convinced the Wanxian Alliance to lift trade restrictions in this Jiushan Prefecture. The Wanxian Alliance and the Five Elderly Church monks can come here to trade the required materials freely. You only need to pay a little tax."
"The Immortal Alliance is led by the experienced Wanfa Chamber of Commerce. It is said that an agreement has been reached with the Five Elders Association to ensure that even if the war starts again in the future, neither side will choose to start a war in Jiushan Prefecture..."
"You know what it means to be able to confirm a safe free transaction?" Xin Hongzhang stared at Li Fan.
Li Fan nodded, his eyes showing excitement.
"It is conceivable that the desolate Jiushan State will become extremely prosperous soon. It may even surpass the four major states in the hinterland. If you can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will definitely be able to change your fate..." Xin Hongzhang also drank another glass of spiritual wine, venting his inner excitement.
"If it weren't for this reason, I would have traveled thousands of miles to come to this remote border."
Li Fan lowered his head and was silent for a long time, as if he was digesting the shocking news.
Then he raised his head and said to Xin Hongzhang with gratitude: "For such important insider information, fellow Taoist actually told me this passerby who happened to meet..."
Xin Hongzhang waved his hand: "Haha, if you hadn't come forward and asked for a call and ordered another pot of good wine. I wouldn't have told you about this."
"Actually, this matter is not a top secret. The announcement of the Immortal Alliance should be released soon. You and I can only take some advantage."
"By the way, fellow Taoist, if you have a lot of contributions, you might as well keep an eye on the qualifications to purchase caves in Jiushan Prefecture recently."
"I bet that within ten years, the price of caves here will be doubled at least! Even three or four times will not be a problem. If you can buy a few caves from the beginning, you will get rid of them soon..."
"It's a business that is profitable!"
Xin Hongzhang quietly sent a message.
"Fellow Daoist Xin is so far-sighted!" Li Fan patted his head as if he was waking up from a dream, "Why didn't I expect it?"
Nowadays, it is constantly praising you.
After drinking too much Lingjiu, Xin Hongzhang couldn't help feeling a little fluttered when he listened to Li Fan's flattery.
Suddenly, he saw that Li Fan seemed to be hesitating.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he sent a mysterious voice: "Fellow Daoist treats me like this, I can't be stingy."
"To be honest, I have a secret method called [God's Coming]. If a fellow Taoist does not dislike it, I can teach it to you."
