Wang Daoyuan used this jade talisman to send a message back and asked, "I wonder what Taoist friend Shi wants from me?"
Not long after the meeting, Shi Zhenbang sent a message and replied: "Junior wants to discuss business with senior."
Now Wang Daoyuan became interested. The Jinglue Palace was founded and needed people and resources.
Among the four halls of the Alchemy Talisman Formation, except for the Formation Hall which is relatively idle and does not require many resources, the other three halls have very high demand for resources.
The main purpose of establishing the Economic Envoy's Office is to increase the strength at hand and resist the next beast tide.
You never know when the next beast tide will come, so you have to prepare in advance.
Although the last beast tide was extremely violent and high-level monsters also suffered heavy losses, the next beast tide will be much worse.
But as long as there is a wave of fourth-level monsters, he cannot handle it alone.
Coupled with the commotion in the north of Shanxi, who knows when it will spread to the south of Shanxi.
Therefore, we must accumulate more strength to maintain this foundation.
If you want to recruit people, you must have sufficient resources.
The only place nearby that can provide various resources is Green Liuzhou.
Although it is not very stable, it can obtain a lot of third-level materials.
Each family has a lot of first- and second-level alchemy and weapon refining materials that they themselves can't consume all. It's not difficult to buy these materials.
Moreover, the price of purchasing elixirs, spiritual talismans, and magic weapons in Green Liuzhou is relatively high, and the government can also make considerable profits.
With these benefits, Wang Daoyuan is naturally willing to do this business.
As for the Nether Sect's ban, he can completely ignore it now.
The Netherworld Sect didn't know the hidden strength of Green Liuzhou. There were many families doing business with Greenliuzhou in the past, but the Netherworld Sect always turned a blind eye.
Now that the power is in Wang Daoyuan's hands, there is nothing to say.
When he was first conferred the title of Supreme Elder and Yannan Economic Envoy, he made it very clear that he would have full authority to handle all affairs of Yannan County.
Even doing business blatantly is within the scope of full authority.
Wang Daoyuan sent a message to Shi Zhenbang: "Meet at Jingtie Mountain."
After that, Wang Daoyuan hid his figure and left Jingtie Mountain.
With his cultivation level and the effect of the black magic robe, it is difficult for ordinary Jindan monks to detect him.
There has been no war for nearly a hundred years, and the number of casual cultivators in Zhao has increased dramatically.
It is impossible to support many casual cultivators simply by working in various family industries, so more and more cultivators are venturing to the outskirts of the Tianzhan Mountain Range.
These casual cultivators often travel between Qinglifang City and Jingtieshan Mountain, and the Wang family's flying boat running this route is also extremely busy.
Some casual cultivators entered the Tianzhan Mountains and did not get enough spiritual objects, so they were too lazy to return to Qinglifang City.
Jingtie Mountain is protected by the Wang family's formation, and the Wang family has always kept a lot of manpower here.
Loose cultivators of this type rest near Jingtie Mountain.
If they use the Wang family's formation like this, the Wang family will gain nothing, and they may also be attacked by rogue cultivators.
Naturally, Wang Daochang would not suffer this loss, so he built a small market here.
There are only a few shops, and they are all owned by the Wang family.
There is an extremely spacious inn here, as well as an alchemy and talisman shop.
The clan members of the Formation Hall also specially arranged a second-level defensive formation here.
This small market can bring in net income of tens of thousands of spiritual stones every year.
Wang Daoyuan changed his appearance and entered the restaurant and asked for a single room on the second floor.
Not long after, Wang Daoyuan's consciousness discovered that Shi Zhenbang had walked into Xiaofang City.
His cultivation level has not declined. He is now in the late stage of Zifu and is just a short step away from the peak.
Shi Zhenbang is not young. He should have been around two hundred years old when he snatched the Foundation Establishment Pill.
At that time, I was only twenty-one years old. Now I am almost two hundred years old, and Shi Zhenbang must be nearly four hundred years old.
Before the age of 400, there is still some hope of being able to cultivate to this point and form an elixir.
Wang Daoyuan showed a trace of aura, practicing Qi. The foundation-building monks could not sense it at all, but Zifu could still detect it in the later stage.
Shi Zhenbang followed this breath and came to the single room where Wang Daoyuan was.
After he entered the private room, he cupped his hands and said, "Junior Shi Zhenbang has met Senior Wang."
Wang Daoyuan waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be like this, Taoist friend Shi, you are much older than me, and our two families had some friendship before.
If we talk about seniority, how many generations are you older than me, so we should treat each other as equals."
Shi Zhenbang felt relieved when he heard him talk about the friendship between his ancestors.
The Wang family values this incense relationship, and it is easy to negotiate business.
The ancestors ordered us to have a good relationship with the Wang family, so it would be even easier.
Shi Zhenbang saluted and said: "In that case, I will boldly call you "Fellow Daoist King".
This time I ask to see you, I am also following the order of my ancestor.
The old man asked me to come and say hello to you and talk about cooperation."
After hearing this, Wang Daoyuan thought for a while and suddenly said: "The person who can call you ancestor is either a very senior person or a golden elixir monk.
When three sects rebelled, all the elders of the Shi family died in the battle. Only the prince and a few concubines survived, and there were not many senior members.
So, the ancestor you are talking about should be a Golden Core cultivator.
If you can get his instructions, then your Jindan ancestor should be near Greenliu Continent. There are not many places to hide people there, so your ancestor should be in Greenliu Continent.
It can hide the golden elixir monks, the monsters in the Tianzhan Mountains, and the golden elixir monks of the three sects have not yet noticed, there must be a secret realm.
I asked why the big willow tree in Green Willow Island is so strange. Such a big willow tree is actually an unpopular spiritual plant. It seems there is something fishy in it."
After hearing this, Shi Zhenbang broke into a cold sweat. He said one sentence and was guessed the biggest secret of Green Liuzhou.
Seeing his frightened look, Wang Daoyuan chuckled and said, "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be so afraid. I already guessed that there might be a golden elixir cultivator hidden in Green Willow Continent when we were in Yunyin Continent.
More than a hundred years ago, Shi Xingguo went to Guiyuan Jianzong and met Mr. Zhao. That Mr. Zhao should be of the same lineage as the Sixth Prince.
There is also Xuanyinfang City in Shanbei. I traveled there and met a man named Zhao Qi.
I think this person looks a bit like Shi Xingguo, and he should be a descendant of the Ninth Prince.
If I want to tell the truth, I don’t have to do it today.”
Shi Zhenbang became even more frightened now and quickly changed the subject: "I came here this time to talk to you about the cooperation between the two companies.
I heard that the Imperial Envoy's Office wants to recruit casual cultivators who are proficient in alchemy and talisman formations, so they must also need a lot of resources.
We want to cooperate with the Imperial Envoy to exchange materials and spiritual stones for elixirs, spiritual talismans and other resources, as well as spiritual grains.
According to the previous agreement with the Wang family, we can also mention the price and increase the purchase by 50% according to the market price. What do you think?"
Wang Daoyuan nodded and said: "According to the previous agreement, there will be no problem.
It’s just that I can purchase the elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons produced in the entire Yannan County. I wonder how many of them you can take?”
Shi Zhenbang said confidently: "We can eat as much as you can take out."
Although Shi Zhenbang's tone was not small, he really didn't talk big.
Nowadays, the number of casual cultivators has increased sharply. The entire Yannan County, including Luliuzhou, has a large number of people and few resources. There are many monks who go to Luliuzhou to make a living.
When he was exploring Bailing Zhenjun's cave, Wang Daoyuan estimated that there were more than 100,000 loose cultivators near Green Liuzhou.
After all these years, there has definitely been growth.
There are nearly 200,000 casual cultivators, even if they are all qi cultivators, they need hundreds of spiritual stones and pills to practice in a year, plus spiritual talismans and magic weapons.
Calculated in this way, the resource demand for a year must be millions of spirit stones.
The profit alone must be at the level of one million spiritual stones.
Even the three sects of the Zhao Kingdom would be tempted by such a big business.
Of course, the entire Yannan County cannot handle such a large market.
In the future, we can purchase some resources such as elixirs from Wanchuanfang City.
After all, the business that can be done is not only here, but also in Guiyanfang City.
Wang Daoyuan did not scare him anymore and said: "Then there is no problem, but I have to add a condition.
You, Green Liuzhou, are only allowed to buy things from the Wang family and the Imperial Envoy's Mansion like this.
I will open a store here in the name of the Imperial Envoy, and all future transactions will be done in this store.
Anyone who comes to trade can just bring your Shi family's token.
I will bear the pressure from the Netherworld Sect, and I cannot let other forces take advantage."
Shi Zhenbang agreed without even thinking: "I will do as you say. If there are no instructions, I will resign."
Wang Daoyuan nodded: "Go ahead and say hello to His Highness the Ninth Prince and your ancestor for me."
