Chapter 345: Turning Wood into Forest Shishan Trading Company. In the past...
Stone Mountain Trading Company.
The atmosphere in the usually peaceful business was unusually tense during this period. Most of the business people who came and went had different expressions and were in a hurry. The customers also noticed this oddity but did not take it to heart. Most of them thought that the business was worried about Shishan's next auction.
After all, Shishan has always had a rule.
The strange food produced in Shishan is not sold to caravans or trading companies. Except for a small part of the transaction between other forces, most of it will be handed over to Shishan Trading Company for auction.
Many of the strange foods in Shishan have very special uses, including mountain rocks and bloody meat. The former are rare, while the latter are popular, so the sales held at the auctions of Shishan Trading Company are always good.
This means that every auction held by Shishan Trading Company determines all the cultivation resources of Shishan Guishi until the next batch of Guishi food matures.
It is reasonable for businesses to be a little nervous.
Shi Lanmu is also the general manager of Shishan Trading Company.
She was always elegant and smiling. She smiled brightly when she was facing customers downstairs. But when she returned upstairs, her smile suddenly disappeared and she asked coldly, "No news yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell to their knees behind Shi Lan's mother.
"I am incompetent and failed to find Lan Ji's hiding place." The shopkeeper who was in charge said in a low voice.
"A bunch of trash." Shi Lanmu's expression became even colder and she said harshly.
"Where are the others in Shishan?" Shi Lan's mother looked gloomy and unclear: "Lan Ji was so badly injured, where could he hide? Could it be that some top force helped hide his traces?"
"Impossible." A short figure appeared beside her and interrupted Shi Lanmu's next words. He said in a firm tone: "Shishan has never done evil to others. Who would take the initiative to embarrass Shishan?"
"Lan Ji is just a first-level casual cultivator. It is impossible for any force to be willing to fight against Shi Shan for him."
"But don't there still some connections in the Putao Mountains?" Shi Lanmu frowned.
The short figure had white hair and worm-like marks on his gray skin. His pupils were white, and it was obvious that he was blind, but he walked without seeing anything. He was the current ruler of Shishan, the master of Shishan - Bi Chongnu.
Or the Lord of Mount Bicheng.
The Lord of Bi Chong Mountain was dismissive of Shi Lanmu's worries and said, "If connections are really useful, someone would have notified us in advance when the Putao Mountains were attacked. Did you see that?"
The Lord of Bi Chong Mountain snorted coldly. As for connections, the most important connections in the Putao Mountains are only those of the caravans. Merchants value profits the most. What’s the use of their connections?
"I said long ago that I would take action when I first saw that kid, but now he has become a formidable enemy." Shi Lanmu listened to the words of the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain and reluctantly put her mind at ease, but her tone was still dissatisfied. What was the reason for this matter? It was that the people who were responsible for the attack on Putao Mountain Range had a loophole.
If we had been able to kill that kid named Lan Ji directly when we attacked Putao Mountains, there wouldn't be so many problems now.
It made her have to be on guard now.
"It's okay. That kid is only at the Qingyou level now. Shishan Trading Company now has at least four Xueyuan-level sneaks. It would be fine if he doesn't come. If he comes, then let him stay here." When the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain heard what Shi Lanmu said, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he said in a deep voice.
The mood of the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain was not much better than Shi Lanmu's. Shi Lanmu was only the general manager of Shishan Commercial Bank, but she was so angry. What's more, the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain, who was the person in power, was angry that the first time he met Lan Ji asking for help, he did not take action but instead gave Lan Ji a chance to escape.
After the mountain master learned that Lan Ji had escaped, he did not chase him personally but sent his men instead. This gave Lan Ji a better chance to survive.
The only thing that made the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain feel a little better was that the Lord of the Mountain was also killed by the swordsman. Although he did not kill him personally, as long as the useless thing died, he would feel less angry.
"Oh, that's almost right." Shi Lanmu was completely relieved after hearing what the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain said. She sneered and said that she always valued the power under her control. It was a pity that her strength was not enough. If it was enough, she might be able to become the Lord of the mountain.
“-------Knock knock.”
There was a crisp creaking sound outside and someone knocked gently at the door.
Shi Lanmu and the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain stopped talking instantly, and both looked towards the outside.
"You go and get busy first." The Lord of Bi Chong Mountain said calmly. Without any instructions from the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain and Shi Lanmu, the shopkeepers who were kneeling on the ground had already stood up and pretended to be busy and began to disperse in the backyard.
Shi Lanmu put away her murderous expression and forced a smile. She raised her hand to adjust her hair to make sure that nothing was loose and there was no blood on it. Then she walked out calmly.
"Here it comes." Shi Lanmu said softly.
After opening the door, the waiter who had been guarding the door had been waiting there. When he saw the chief shopkeeper coming out, the waiter bowed his head and whispered respectfully, "Someone from Baifeng Mountain is here to see you."
Shi Lanmu kept smiling, remembering what her subordinates said in her heart, and pushed open the second door and went to the lobby. There were already three people waiting in the hall, a middle-aged man, a young woman, and a seemingly childish boy. All three of them wore white maple leaves on their heads, which were as thin as cicada wings.
"Shopkeeper Shi Lan, long time no see." The middle-aged man in the lead bowed to Shi Lan's mother.
"Mr. Baijie, long time no see. I wonder what Baifengshan's request is this time?" Shi Lan's mother said with a smile.
Bai Jie, the middle-aged man, took back his hand and said with a serious face, "I wonder how much white stone powder your company has in stock? We want to buy some."
White stone powder?
Shi Lanmu's mind turned around. White stone powder, it would be better to say "white corpse" rather than "white stone". This White Maple Forest is a medium-sized force, not to mention how famous it ranks among the Ten Peaks. This force is only medium-sized among the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south. All the output of the entire force depends on the few white maple plants on the mountain, and at most a few cultivated white maple forests.
The function of white stone powder is to replace part of the strange plant resources, making the strange plant's root system more stable and absorbing more strange power.
It is also one of the most famous resources of Shishan Trading Company.
As a tall tree, white maple attaches great importance to its root system. If the root system is stable, its power will be strong and the output will naturally be high.
Shi Lanmu was not surprised by Bai Fengshan's purchase.
It's just... Shi Lanmu frowned imperceptibly. It's just that Shishan has suffered serious losses recently, and there are not enough corpses, let alone turning them into white corpses. Seeing that the number of people being purchased by Baifengshan is not small, Shi Lanmu naturally has to be cautious.
"Of course we have white stone powder." Shi Lanmu quickly came up with an idea, and she calmed down and said with a smile, "It's just that a large amount of white stone powder has been purchased not long ago. Currently, if you want a dozen or twenty pieces, the company has some in stock. But if you want to buy dozens of pieces, you will have to wait for a while."
Shi Lanmu decided to urge the owner of Bi Chong Mountain again. Apart from other things, the white stone powder could not be delayed. She urged him not long ago but there was no movement. Now the sale is about to start and there is still no movement?
Baijie Guishi was a little surprised. He thought that he and his group were already a fast force. After all, all kinds of strange plant resources in Shishan were in short supply. He didn't expect that someone was faster than them.
"Besides white stone powder, what about red stone powder? There is quite a lot of red stone powder in the company." Shi Lanmu looked at the expression on the opposite side, changed her mind, and continued to ask.
The white mustard ghosts looked hesitant. Most of the trees on their mountain were white maple. In order to maintain certain characteristics of the white maple, the ghost plant resources they used were also carefully selected. White stone powder was barely acceptable, but they didn't dare to use red stone powder, as they always felt that it would taint the color of the white maple. If it really tainted the color, the ghosts on their mountain would have nowhere to cry.
The most important thing about the white maple plant is the white maple leaves.
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Baijie Guishi declined politely.
Shi Lanmu was not surprised at being rejected. She just asked casually and did not want people to suspect the shortage of white stone powder in the company.
Mentioning it casually can also increase credibility.
"May I ask Manager Shi Lan, how long will it take to make the white stone powder?" Bai Fenglin and the other two had finished the discussion in a low voice in a short time, and the young woman among them asked.
"About half a month." Shi Lanmu replied in a raised voice.
The three people on the opposite side nodded and looked at each other, which was considered as agreement: "Then we will ask Shopkeeper Shi Lan to help reserve a portion."
Shi Lanmu nodded and said a portion of the amount of the strange beads as a deposit.
The leader, the white mustard ghost, took out a wooden box from his bosom and prepared to pay the deposit.
Suddenly, there was a terrifying pressure above his head, and the White Mustard Ghost stopped trying to take the wooden box.
Shi Lanmu suddenly raised her head and looked towards the sky. Her eyes seemed to be looking through the heavy wooden boards above her head at a slender figure in the air outside.
Shi Lan's mother's tone was cold and murderous: "How dare you, boy!"
Lan Ji, who was in the sky outside, looked down at the numerous buildings on the ground beside the mountain. There were endless rows of buildings, wooden buildings, carved beams and painted pillars, which were so beautiful. At first glance, it was hard to imagine how dirty the area under the mountain was.
Lan Ji seemed to have heard Shi Lanmu's threat. Instead of stopping, he exerted more force with his hands. The smile on his face gradually became brighter.
He showed his courage through his actions.
The jade-white hand gently touched the wooden building below. In an instant, countless wood-attributed strange powers were transmitted to the bottom layer through the wood.
Turn wood into forest!
The huge wood-attributed strange power exploded instantly at this moment. Dozens of seeds underground grew rapidly at a terrifying speed, sprouting, saplings, mature seedlings, and then trees. Dozens of huge trees as big as hills grew from the tall buildings, and they were clustered together.
The huge bodies of these trees made the high-rise buildings wrapped around them creak unbearably, until after a certain critical point, they collapsed with a loud bang.
Sand and stones were flying, and wood chips were flying everywhere.
Nearly half of the building collapsed.
Five figures flew out from the ruins of the high-rise building, led by a figure covered with gray-white insect patterns all over his body. He was the ruler of Shishan - the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain.
The Lord of Bi Chong Mountain looked at the ignorant kid not far away with a gloomy face. Behind him, four Blood Grudge-level tricksters stood in the air. Their aura was similar to that of the Lord of Bi Chong Mountain, and there were some gray-white insect patterns on their exposed skin.
Shi Lanmu also flew out from the ruins. She looked a little more disheveled than before.
When the business was attacked, the customers in the business naturally left first.
