Ke Chong did not relax, but instead took the initiative to say, "If the Moon Lord can give our Nine Associations a back door, our Nine Associations will naturally not let our people suffer losses."
"Whatever requests or conditions the Moon Lord may have, please make them. We, the Nine Societies, will do our best to meet them."
Upon hearing this, the others also felt that they shouldn't push their luck too far.
This is a business deal meant for long-term cooperation. If Jinshangyue suffers a loss, how can we cooperate in the future?
They cannot lose their sense of proportion and the opportunity to curry favor with powerful figures in the long run just because of short-term gains.
"Yes, yes, Moon Lord, tell me how you need us to cooperate?"
Jin Shangyue smiled and glanced at Ke Chong. Sure enough, when discussing cooperation, having such a smart and helpful partner makes the process incredibly pleasant and comfortable.
Jin Shangyue had learned about this world in advance, including the current situation of the five Yuan-level alchemists and their external cooperation.
Five Yuan-level alchemists can refine an average of about 1,200 to 1,500 Yuan-grade pills per year.
Currently, the five individuals have only opened up a fixed annual purchase quota to the top-tier forces of the Divine Abyss, namely the Five Realms and Seven Domains, and the Nine Societies of the Central Alliance.
The top powers in the Five Realms and Seven Domains are represented by the royal families of the five top kingdoms and the seven top aristocratic families.
Five Yuan-level alchemists joined forces and allocated a quota of twenty Yuan-grade pills to each of the five royal families and seven great clans every year.
In total, the twelve factions contribute a total of 240 per year.
The Central Alliance comprises thirteen academies, ten guilds, and eight sects.
The five individuals purchased a total of 620 Yuan-grade pills from the Zhongmeng annually.
The Central Alliance itself divided the supplies, which amounted to twenty per faction.
On the Jiu Hui side, the five people gave a total of 180 pills.
The nine groups are divided into nine groups, with each group receiving twenty pills.
Among the 22 top forces in the Alliance of Nine Societies and Nine Realms of the Five Realms and Seven Domains, five Yuan-level alchemists directly took away the approximately 1040 Yuan-grade pills they refined.
The five Yuan-level alchemists themselves only have about four hundred to five hundred Yuan-grade pills left each year.
If the five people divide it equally, each of them will have less than a hundred left.
The five of them usually used the remaining pills to cultivate relationships.
Most of them are sold to or given to some lone wolf masters.
For example, those powerful and terrifying cultivators who roam the world, standing at the pinnacle of the world, yet are all alone, without any attachments, and utterly detached from their own world.
Twenty-two top forces purchase Yuan-grade pills from five individuals each year, always through resource exchange, and rarely accept money in return.
For five Yuan-level alchemists, money was no longer a worthless number.
Only resources, especially invaluable and inexhaustible resources, are truly the most important.
With resources, they can continuously improve and refine better elixirs.
Jinshangyue's biggest needs right now are resources and people, so she decided to continue cooperating with Jiuhui according to the fee standards of those five people.
However, her output could be increased somewhat.
The five people gave Jiu Hui a purchase quota of twenty per year, so she gave her thirty.
Too much talk will disrupt the balance of the world and cause unnecessary disputes and chaos.
If the top powers of all sides were to fight each other, causing chaos in the world, wouldn't that give those covetous higher worlds an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, fish in troubled waters, and reap the benefits?
After all, this Middle Thousand World is now registered under Jin Shangyue's name and is her private property.
You should take good care of your own things.
However, if she receives fewer pills than the other five, she will lose some of her advantages.
If it's not enough to make all parties take it seriously, or even enough to make them wary, that won't work either.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Jinshangyue finally set the annual purchase quota at thirty pieces.
Of course, this is only the amount for purchasing Yuan-grade pills.
As for the amount of semi-immortal-grade pills to be purchased, Jin Shangyue limited it to five pills and did not give any more.
Once other semi-immortal-level alchemists appear in the future, she can simply increase the purchase amount.
Otherwise, since she is the only one with semi-immortal-grade pills, giving out too many at once could easily cause market chaos, disrupt certain balances, and bring trouble.
"Jiu Hui and I are all family, so naturally we will give our family members some discounts and we will not raise prices on the spot."
"The total quota for purchasing Yuan-grade pills from the five Yuan-level alchemists each year is twenty pills. I will give each of the Nine Associations a purchase quota of thirty pills per year."
Ke Chong and the other nine couldn't help but take a deep breath, their eyes shining brightly, and their whole bodies were filled with a surging enthusiasm and excitement.
They nodded repeatedly, extremely satisfied.
"Great, great... thirty pieces, that's perfect! That's wonderful!"
The representative of the Martial Arts Association couldn't help but ask expectantly, "Do you have any slots available for purchasing semi-immortal-grade pills?"
Everyone stared at Jin Shangyue with burning anticipation, their hearts pounding in their throats, their palms sweating with nervousness.
Jin Shangyue nodded as expected: "Yes."
"Ahhh!" The Grand Elder of the Pharmacy Association couldn't help but jump up excitedly.
Other delegates from the two sessions also jumped up and down on the spot.
The three shook hands, their eyes brimming with tears of excitement, as if long-lost brothers were finally reunited.
Jin Shangyue waited until everyone had calmed down before speaking.
"As you all know, this is a semi-immortal grade pill, a unique grade pill on the entire Shenyuan Star. It is extremely difficult to make, both in terms of the refining time and the success rate."
"The necessary refining materials are also extremely rare."
"It was those three and a half Immortal-grade pills that were taken out last night. My master spent several months on them, not even counting the time spent collecting materials in the early stages."
Everyone nodded repeatedly, expressing their complete understanding and agreement.
Indeed, this is not something as common as cabbage. The world's only five Yuan-level alchemists can only produce a few hundred pills each year, and the five of them combined can produce at most 1,500 pills.
How many years has this been going on for?
It's been at least several hundred years, if not a thousand years.
The amount that can be refined each year is like a tortoise crawling.
There has indeed been an increase, but it's been a slow, incremental rise, with the volume of increase being incredibly slow.
If even Yuan-grade pills are so difficult to refine and so rare, then the even higher-grade Semi-Immortal pills are even more difficult to refine.
Therefore, the representatives of the Nine Associations were all mentally prepared that even if they could only manage to get one purchase quota, it would still be a profit for the Nine Associations.
At worst, the nine associations will take turns purchasing. This year, your pharmaceutical association will purchase, next year our biotechnology association will purchase, and the year after that, other associations will purchase.
Something is better than nothing.
However, the amount Jinshangyue offered far exceeded their expectations.
"Therefore, I can only allocate five and a half Immortal-grade pills to the Nine Associations each year. As for how the Nine Associations should allocate these five pills, that is up to the Nine Associations to negotiate."
Representatives of the Nine Assemblies: !!!
Completely stunned by the surprise!
