In the sky, an ordinary Daomen-style floating raft slowly landed outside Zhongqing City. In the light and shadow, two Kun cultivators appeared, looking at the tall walls of Zhongqing City with solemn expressions.
"Every time I come here, it's like being a thief. Now I'm doing business that's fair and honest, but now I'm having a hard time doing it secretly. I don't know when this kind of life will end."
Lan Ting frowned and spoke with dissatisfaction.
The woman who was traveling with her had a calm voice, "Just get used to it. As long as you can get the crude heptene concentrate, it doesn't matter if you feel a little wronged. Master and the others need this batch of heptene concentrate, otherwise they won't be able to make many utensils." Expand, everyone is waiting for the rice to be cooked..."
The two of them are old acquaintances of Anhe Daomen, Lan Ruo Lanting. Over the past few decades, as outstanding talents among this generation of Anhe disciples, they have also advanced to the three realms of Tongtian. Lanting is now in the Tongxuan realm, and Lan Ruo My xinxing is better, and I am now in the state of enlightenment.
They were ordered to come to Pingliang Prefecture for the increasingly scarce Geng concentrate. Due to some special reasons, some people are continuing to hoard this strategic material that is widely used in the control of artifacts, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to find it on the market. To get it, it is no longer a question of price, but a question of price but no market.
The two sisters are not businessmen, but they have a good image, a sweet mouth, and are meticulous and considerate in their work. They are not likely to attract attention from interested people, so they have been responsible for the supply of goods in this area in the past few years and have accumulated some connections, even if they still cannot do it in large quantities. Purchase, but small batches can still be obtained.
After calming down, the two sisters walked into Zhongqing City and began to contact sources of goods in familiar shops. In their opinion, it should not be difficult, but this time it was extremely difficult.
Walking through familiar and unfamiliar shops, the result is one - no goods.
Even if they thought that their purchasing volume had been reduced to an extremely low level, they still had no way to purchase. In this process, they finally understood why this was the case, because the newly arrived Pingliang Prefecture Captain was violent and greedy. , demanding so much that the sky is angry, people are resentful, and evil guests come to the door.
Lieutenant White-eyed Wolf, this is the derogatory name given to the new captain by many merchants in Zhongqing City. If he does not do business, he will cause a lot of inexplicable troubles. The robbery of Geng Mine may not be to blame on him, but the subsequent investigation However, it really made all the merchants involved in the Geng mine business tireless. The group of criminal police officers from the Captain's Mansion relied on the Captain's waist. They kept coming to the door these days, and they also took cards while investigating. Want, unscrupulously.
Seeing the fierce public opinion in Zhongqing City, it seemed that there was a momentum gathering. They could feel these things and did not dare to participate, but they were unable to achieve their own goals.
Because a large part of the minerals were robbed that year, and the prices of the remaining ones on the market have skyrocketed. No one had any spot yet, or if they did, they would rather hoard for a period of time in the hope of higher returns. They ran for three days, but got nothing.
"Sister, what should I do? It seems that no one has the goods, and no one is willing to ship. Let's just keep waiting. Even if this year's Geng mine slowly flows into the market, it will be a drop in the bucket. I'm afraid I may not be able to get a share of the pie."
Lan Ruo also frowned, "What else can we do if we don't wait? But I feel that this embarrassing situation cannot last forever and will always get better. There is no clear statement on this in the market yet. Let’s wait and see what happens after this month’s output comes out?”
The two were a little worried, but they couldn't think of any good solution for a while. They couldn't leave just like that, because the family was still waiting for their ingredients to be cooked.
Over the years, the two opposing factions within Anhe Daomen finally broke up and parted ways due to conflicts of ideas.
The faction that took refuge in Wumen was also called Nan'an because most of its members came from the southern cities of Anhe, including Shendu City. Most of the monks who chose independence were based in the north of Anhe, so they were called Beian.
He, whose base camp is located in Sanjiang Prefecture, stands right next to Heshendu.
Even the territory has been separated, and the conflicts between them can no longer be reconciled or concealed. All they have to do is fight to the death.
The ancestors above divided the mountain, with three from Nan'an and two from Bei'an; below, the Jindan and Tongtian Third Realm monks also lined up, and a few who couldn't bear it chose to fly away.
Of course, the two sisters Lan Ruo and Lan Ting will follow their master, Taoist Yi, and stand with Bei'an and the Yi lineage who have chosen independence. Over the years, they have had many disputes with Nan'an and those people, and even bloodshed has occurred from time to time. But on the whole
In terms of the situation, Bei'anhe is on the defensive, slightly worse than Nan'anhe. If we also consider that the investment from Wumen behind the scenes is much greater than that of Yanmen, it makes it even more difficult for these Anhe Taoists who are determined to be independent.
If your philosophy is too independent, you will be wary of others' help, and you will be afraid of losing yourself. This is the problem of Bei'an and yourself. Unlike Nan'an and Yiline, they fell completely to Wu Clan and gained the upper hand in many aspects.
.
Including the aspect of making utensils, there are many Taoists who are proficient in foreign objects in Bei'an and Yizhen. This is a network of connections, which also means a large demand for materials; for other materials, there are always materials from different origins that can be substituted.
, there are only a few producing areas in the east and west continents such as heptene concentrate, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those near you.
They don't want to disappoint their master, and there are also those craftsmen who are looking forward to Geng Jing. It's not just Wu Clan who is preparing, they are also preparing.
When subtle changes occur in the atmosphere of heaven and earth, it is fair to every monk and every force.
In Zhongqing City, there are countless forces who want to get Geng concentrate; Yanmen Quanzhen is part of it, and their share is unassailable, and no one dares to arbitrarily interfere with their share. However, because the sword cultivator's demand for foreign materials is not strong, this
The portion share is not large.
Most of the remaining Geng Min production is due to the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers. It is difficult to say clearly the specific direction of the Geng Mining. These businessmen have gradually hidden the truth in the complicated multi-party trade through countless hand-to-hand transactions. It can be seen that
It seems normal, but it feels abnormal.
What feels abnormal is that when you want to purchase a batch of heptene ore in large quantities, you will find that you can’t find a reliable source of supply. What you can find are only fragmentary sources of supply, many of which are inferior ore with poor quality.
.
But their current problem is that they can't even buy these low-quality Gengjing.
The two sisters were wandering aimlessly on the street. It was difficult to ask an acquaintance to transfer their interest. It was the same as asking someone to give up their interests.
Walking into a teahouse, having a pot of tea, they were relatively speechless. Suddenly, Lan Ting rubbed his eyes and said,
