Compared to the small courtyard just now, this Anle Chamber of Commerce is much more impressive.
It's grand, bright and stylish at first glance.
This is the facade of Anle Bang's residence in Hongsongling Market. The cooperation between Nuanyun Valley and Anle Bang is also handled by this chamber of commerce.
Entering the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, Meng Zhou stood in the huge and bright hall and looked around. A beautiful female cultivator with good looks came up to him and asked him what his purpose was.
Meng Zhou just glanced at her casually and said, "Take me to see the real person in charge."
The female cultivator was slightly stunned, looked into the distance, and made eye contact with a man.
Soon, a man who looked about 40 or 50 years old walked out of a room, strode up to greet him, smiled and greeted: "Friends are invited!"
Meng Zhou asked: "Can you make the decision here?"
The man smiled and said: "Although I am called the vice president, it is because our gang leader is also the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but I am actually responsible for the specific affairs here."
Meng Zhou nodded and was about to make his request directly, but the man stretched out his hand to lead him to where he came from and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and sit and talk."
As soon as the two of them entered a spacious living room, the female cultivator walked in with a tray, served spiritual tea and snacks, and then respectfully stepped back and left.
Meng Zhou did not make any detours with the other party, mainly because he was afraid that the influence of his previous purchase of hundreds of medium and high-grade spiritual materials would spread.
Although these are two different circles, since they are both in a small pond like Red Pine Ridge, no matter where a stone is thrown into the pond, the ripples will quickly spread to the entire pond.
Therefore, this transaction with the Anle Chamber of Commerce must be settled quickly.
Meng Zhou directly took out two thick piles of talismans and placed them on the table.
Even though the middle-aged man had already expected that this business would be a big deal, when he saw the two thick stacks of talismans, his eyelids couldn't help but beat violently.
"How much...how much?"
"There are 800 cleansing talismans and light body talismans each. They are all of master-level quality. You can count them."
The middle-aged man's mood has stabilized, and his vision has improved a lot through cooperation with Nuanyun Valley.
Every transaction with Nuanyun Valley has been much larger than this.
The reason why he was a little rude just now was because he didn't expect that the person in front of him could produce so many high-quality talismans.
He didn't believe everything Meng Zhou said, so he did a random check and then looked at Meng Zhou:
"How do you want to trade? Sell the spiritual stones directly or exchange them for the required spiritual materials?"
Having said this, he paused and introduced specifically:
"Our chamber of commerce has prepared all kinds of spiritual materials. Whatever is available in Hongsong Ridge, I can exchange it for. If you exchange it for spiritual materials directly, the price will be more cost-effective.
...And to be honest, although the quality of these cleaning talismans is high enough, they are comparable to mid-grade talismans.
But its scope of application is limited after all. Why use a mid-grade cleaning talisman when it can be done by a low-grade one?"
The implication is that although the quality reaches the first-level mid-grade, the price cannot match that of the first-grade mid-grade.
Meng Zhou said: "If the exchange ratio is suitable, I can accept the exchange with medium and high-grade wood spiritual materials."
The man's expression relaxed, his attitude became more friendly, and he started a more detailed consultation with Meng Zhou.
In the end, the two reached a consensus "with difficulty".
Twenty-five grandmaster-level cleansing talismans can be exchanged for one medium-grade wood-type spiritual material, and the same medium-grade wood-type spiritual material can be exchanged for a grandmaster-level light body talisman, and only twenty pieces are needed.
There are 800 master-level cleansing talismans and 800 light-weight talismans each, which can be exchanged for a total of 72 mid-grade wood spiritual materials.
After the two reached an agreement, the man immediately ordered people to collect materials, while he continued to chat with Meng Zhou.
Not long after, nine wooden stakes exuding strong spirituality were placed in front of Meng Zhou. They were very similar to the Qingling wood that Meng Zhou had purchased. The only difference was that the central area of the tree had been dug out in advance, leaving arms.
Thick holes.
Originally, Meng Zhou thought it would be too profitable for professionals to sell various spiritual materials at several times the price as soon as they changed hands.
But after seeing these log piles, he didn't think so anymore.
No matter how much money a professional makes, he has to put in at least time, energy and skills. How can a force like Anle Gang do it easily? As long as they occupy a piece of land and cut down trees, they can buy away a lot of their time and energy investment.
Meng Zhou put the nine large wooden stakes into his storage bag and left without leaving them any longer.
The man escorted Meng Zhou out of the chamber of commerce, and finally said with a smile, "Come back next time."
When he returned to the living room with a calm expression, there were already two monks in the room. They were staring at the two thick stacks of talismans and studying them carefully.
He asked: "What did you see?"
"The level of the Talisman Maker is high!"
"Look at these talisman materials, there are at least 20 or 30 specifications, and the spiritual differences among them are huge. It would be great to be able to guarantee the success of making the talisman.
It is necessary to ensure that the quality of each talisman is maintained at this high level, which can be several steps ahead of ordinary talisman makers!
…Gee, I just can’t figure it out. With such a high level of talisman-making ability, why would you waste so much time and energy on low-quality talismans like cleaning talismans?”
"anything else?"
"It should be a casual cultivator with no powerful background!"
The man was shocked and quickly asked: "How do you say it?"
"Just think about it, with such a high level of talisman making, only someone with a powerful background or a disease would use such messy talisman materials.
After thinking about it, the most likely possibility is that the talisman maker is of high enough skill, but does not want to be controlled by a certain force. In order to avoid being exposed due to the bulk purchase of standard talisman materials, this strange phenomenon occurs.
"
The man nodded: "That makes sense."
Although there are not many first-level spiritual veins like this in Nuanyun Valley and Hongsong Ridge, there are always some such monks.
Either they are unruly by nature and do not want to be subordinated to others, or they have outstanding abilities and can live well on their own, and they are confident that they will definitely escape from the small world of first-order spiritual veins in the future, so naturally they do not want to have too many ties with other forces.
There are many more possibilities.
But for him, he only needs to be sure of one thing, that is, "loose cultivators, no power background."
As for the possibility of outstanding potential and a very bright future, he didn't care.
If this could scare people, there wouldn't be so many geniuses who have fallen in the world of cultivation.
So, he lowered his voice and asked: "So, can you give it a try?"
The other two people looked at each other, nodded and said:
"Okay, but you still have to be careful. Since the other party dares to come so blatantly, he should have some confidence."
"Of course, be careful, safety first!"
Soon, a team of seven people walked out of the Anle Chamber of Commerce and left Hongsong Ridge.
The person at the front was an old man with a ninth level of Qi training.
Behind him, there were two other companions who were in the later stages of Qi training.
There was a small insect lying in the old man's hand, with its pair of delicate tentacles pointing in a certain direction.
"This way!"
The group of people followed Xiao Chong's guidance and returned to the same place after a while.
Everyone was not surprised at all by this phenomenon. Instead, they laughed, and even the initially nervous mood became much more relaxed.
"You are still very vigilant, but the methods are too backward."
"Be serious and stay vigilant!"
The old man frowned and scolded, and led the people to continue tracking.
…
Anle Chamber of Commerce.
Leaving the matter to professionals, the middle-aged man as the vice president did not pay too much attention to the matter.
It wasn't until half an hour later that a chamber of commerce officer in his early thirties hurried over and said: "President, something is wrong!"
The middle-aged man looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Because there are too many wood-type spiritual materials shipped and the inventory is at the bottom, I just thought about asking casual cultivators I know well to replenish some, but I even contacted several people, but I didn't even receive a single piece of mid-grade spiritual materials!
When I inquired about it, I found out that not long ago, all the goods in their hands were bought!"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and paced back and forth twice, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
Finally, he said decisively: "Send a message to Lao Cui and the others and ask them to stop their actions immediately and come back immediately!"
For a moment, he thought of many possibilities in his mind, but the first order he gave was to immediately cancel the operation.
No matter how many strange things are hidden behind the scenes, safety and caution are always the top priority!
But a quarter of an hour later, someone came back to report to him, bringing a piece of bad news that made him feel cold:
"No one responded!"
"We sent warnings to all seven of them, but none of them responded!"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Please ask for help, the situation has gone beyond what we can handle!"
About half an hour later, a team manned two flying boats and stormed out of the red pine ridge.
Soon, they arrived at a lake nearly a hundred miles away from Red Pine Ridge.
Everyone in the Anle Gang, who had been filled with murderous intent all the way, fell silent after seeing the scene below.
Below, on the shore of the lake.
Seven headless corpses lay neatly in a row, and the seven heads of their familiar companions were piled into a small Jingguan, which also resembled an altar.
In front of the human head altar, there is a plate of wild fruits.
Seeing this scene, everyone can imagine that not long ago, someone made a simple head sacrifice here.
A man with a sinister expression asked the middle-aged man next to him, "Vice president, what else do you have to say?"
The middle-aged man held a small insect in his hand. He focused all his attention on the small insect along the way because he was afraid that if he was distracted for a moment, the gang leader's murderous intention would really come to him.
At this moment, the insect's tentacles were spinning randomly and could no longer indicate a clear direction.
Facing the gang leader's inquiry, he trembled and said: "Then...that person is missing..."
"Bang!"
The vice-president's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon and was smashed alive by the Anle gang leader's punch.
