He knew that traveling in the open sea was, to put it nicely, traveling, but to put it bluntly, it was selling things.

The vortex sea areas are relatively exclusive.

After all, whether it is a family monk or a sect monk, they all rely on local resources. They are the most powerful force in the area and can rule this sea area with violence. If foreign monks come in, they will often break their rule, so they don't want anyone under their command to trade, especially when there is a shortage of top monks in their own sea area.

It is precisely in the past one or two thousand years that the Vortex Sea has not produced any cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. The lack of such top-level cultivators has led to the gradual severance of external trade, and the sporadic transactions are only conducted privately.

Moreover, it takes a long time for a foundation-building cultivator to make a trip, and it is also extremely dangerous. In other words, the cultivators along the way dare not ambush the cultivators on the road at will because they have been concentrating on the affairs of the Demonic Alliance recently. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Lu family to do business.

"Well, come in, I'll tell you what's going on here, and I have something else to tell you.

When the Chi family ancestor saw that Taihang Zhenren didn't mention Lu Xuanyuan's business trip, he didn't say anything either. After all, his Chi family also did this, or in other words, every Jindan family did this.

Rules are meant to constrain those below them, not to constrain themselves. Aren't they working hard to cultivate just to maintain this ability to make rules?

Inside the meeting hall, Taihang Zhenren invited all the Jindan to sit down. After seeing that everyone was seated, Taihang Zhenren slowly spoke about the agreement he had made with the cultivators from his Tianjian Sect.

After finishing speaking, Taihang Zhenren gave them a short while to digest the contents before speaking.

"Each of the four Jindan families will contribute 100,000 spirit stones, or elixirs and magical instruments of equivalent value."

"Dong Xuan"

When Master Dong Xuan, who was sitting, heard Master Taihang calling him, he immediately stood up.

"You need to collect the materials worth 100,000 spirit stones from those foundation-building families. We only need the materials, and you will take care of the specific matters. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Senior Taihang."

Lu Xuanyuan was a little hesitant to speak after hearing what Taihang Zhenren said. He knew that if this matter was arranged, then what the Mu family and the Chi family would take out would most likely be magical medicine. In that case, Lu Ping's idea would be in vain. He hesitated for a moment and finally said it out loud.

"Senior Taihang, I wonder if this supply of materials can be replaced by labor?"

When Master Taihang heard this, he felt that it was somewhat familiar.

He had hoped to use spirit stones to push out the cultivators before, and now Lu Xuanyuan hoped to use labor to push out the spirit stones.

However, Taihang Zhenren was not angry and turned to look at Lu Xuanyuan. "Then tell me, what kind of labor do you want to use to compensate?"

Seeing that his proposal was not rejected, Lu Xuanyuan was overjoyed but his face remained serious. "According to the requirements of Taihang Zhenren, since materials of the second grade or above are required, then our Jindan family will probably sell a large number of second-grade spiritual medicines. If these spiritual medicines are refined into second-grade pills, their value will probably be higher and it will be easier to deliver them."

"So I would like to ask Master Taihang to hand over the task of refining pills to the Lu family. My Lu family's alchemy workshop is willing to undertake this task and send two second-grade alchemists to refine the pills. I believe that after Senior Taihang collects the spiritual medicines, he will also need second-grade alchemists to refine them into pills."

According to the old rules, the second-grade alchemist's alchemy rate is one-third, and the rest belongs to the alchemist."

"And my Lu family is willing to undertake this task with a four-tenths alchemy rate."

After hearing this, the Lin family patriarch raised his head and glanced at Lu Xuanyuan, then lowered his head again when he thought of something.

After hearing this, Taihang Zhenren looked at Lu Xuanyuan with a half-smile on his face and slowly said, "So this is what you were thinking."

Instead of nodding his head in agreement, he turned to ask the Lin family ancestor, "Does your Lin family have this plan?"

The Lin family ancestor shook his head. He took the [Soul-Nourishing Flower] and his soul was healed. He was preparing to break through and become a Cloud Infant cultivator. If he failed to break through, the family foundation would be gone. What would be the use of having so many spiritual materials at that time?

Therefore, he had already prepared to let the two second-grade alchemists of the Lin family refine all these materials into elixirs that could help one break through cultivation levels to increase the family's strength, but they were very busy and had no time to do this.

If he succeeded in breaking through, even if he spent all the spiritual stones of the family for the next 100 years in these ten years, he could still earn it back. If he failed to break through, the family simply couldn't keep the money. So it would be best to spend it now and exchange it for cultivation.

So he reported back to Taihang Zhenren, "Senior Taihang, the Lin family simply can't spare any manpower."

After a little thought, Master Taihang understood what was going on, and it seemed that this matter would be handed over to the Lu family.

So he looked at Lu Ping and nodded, "Okay, I can entrust this matter to your Lu family."

When Lu Xuanyuan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Senior Taihang."

Hearing Lu Xuanyuan's thanks, Master Taihang stopped him and said, "Don't worry, I have other requests."

"Can you achieve this within a year?"

"No problem." Lu Xuanyuan assured.

"Well, if you can't achieve it, then your Lu family will be punished."

"Okay, go get busy!"

"yes"

The five Jindan Zhenren slowly left the meeting hall.

After leaving, the Lin family's ancestor flashed and went to the Lin family's alchemy workshop, apparently to assign some tasks.

Just as Mu Fengsheng and the Chi Family Patriarch were about to fly away, they heard Lu Xuanyuan shout, "Friend Chi Dao, wait a moment!"

After hearing what Lu Xuanyuan said, the Chi family ancestor paused for a moment. Then he slowly stopped the flow of his magic power, stopped moving forward, turned around, and looked at Lu Xuanyuan unhappily.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Patriarch Lu, if you have anything to say, please speak up. I'm busy."

This was the prelude to war, and prices were soaring. Every moment of delay meant the loss of spirit stones.

"Hey, I have something to discuss with my friend Equator."

"What is it?"

"It's about some spiritual stone. It's about the spiritual stone for the alchemy business."

Upon hearing this, the Chi Family Patriarch asked, "Why, your Lu Family still wants to take over my alchemy business? " "That's exactly what I mean!"

After hearing what Lu Xuanyuan said, the Chi family ancestor snorted coldly, "Humph, it would be great if you could gather enough people and make the elixir within this year. What are you talking about here?"

"One year is one year, but what about after one year? Does the Chi family ancestor think that this matter can be resolved within one year?"

After hearing this, the ancestor of the Chi family fell silent. He had also sent people out. According to the information obtained from the Kongcan Sea, there were many formations set up in the Silent Sea, and there were a lot of supplies gathered in the several seas of the Demonic Path. It was obvious that a protracted war was going to be fought. This matter might not be over in three to five years.

"Why don't you just say whatever you want to say!"

Seeing that the Chi Family Patriarch had figured it out, Lu Xuanyuan said, "Chi Family Patriarch, what I mean is that your Chi Family produces spiritual medicines, and my Lu Family produces people to refine them into pills and sell them. Isn't this a way to make some money?"

"If there is such a good thing, why don't you Lu family do it yourself? Why bother looking for my Chi family?"

"Alas, my Lu family has just started. We have clan members to support and we have to take on business. We are not as powerful as the Chi family."

"Okay, stop complimenting me and talk about something practical!"

After hearing this, Lu Xuanyuan cleared his throat and said, "I knew that friend Chi Dao was a quick-witted person. Then I will be frank. My Lu family is willing to take over your Chi family's alchemy business with a 40% success rate, and you only need to pay a hiring fee.

The Chi Family Patriarch calculated the price after a little effort. You have to know that the battle in the Silent Sea is raging. "The price of consumable items has increased the most, and the price of healing pills is estimated to increase by two tenths at most.

Now listening to Lu Xuanyuan's words, he actually wanted to take the alchemy business with a 40% success rate. It just costs a little bit of hiring fee.

So the key question is "How much is the hiring fee?"

When Lu Xuanyu heard this, he knew that the ancestor of the Chi family was moved.

"Hey, just increase the usual fee by 20%."

The Chi Family Patriarch calculated silently in his mind. The price of a [Rejuvenation Pill] was about 800 Spiritual Stones, and now it has increased by 10%, approaching 900 Spiritual Stones.

The original success rate of one third was that the cost of refining a [Rejuvenation Pill] was six hundred spirit stones and the handling fee was fifty spirit stones, which added up to six hundred and fifty spirit stones. If the success rate was four tenths, then the cost of refining a [Rejuvenation Pill] was five hundred spirit stones and the handling fee was sixty spirit stones. The total was five hundred and sixty spirit stones.

Of course, we also need to consider the export price, travel expenses, etc. It is definitely not possible to sell it at the price of Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Even so, after such a trip, the price of a rejuvenation pill can earn more than 100 spirit stones. This business can be done, but the disadvantage is that there is a risk of being robbed, and the materials of this [Rejuvenation Pill] are expected to increase in price.
