Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 269
On the first day of the seventh lunar month, the west gate of Nanxuan City was still bustling with many people gathered. There was a high platform next to the gate, and a row of people stood on it. Qin Mingye, Qin Junfeng, Fang Ping, and Fang Shouyi All the other people were among them, and the rest of them were all dressed in brocade clothes, and they were rich and noble at first glance.

Su Bai stood not far away, with Xu Chengxiang and Yu Chenghe beside him, he knew that the people on the high platform were the people from the five major commercial firms, and today was the beginning of the herbal gathering activity.

At nine o'clock in the morning, I saw an old man with white beard and hair coming out of the row of people. Although the old man's face was full of wrinkles, his back was straight and his eyes were piercing. As the head of the 'Sanhe Commercial Firm', many of my friends must know me, and today, it’s our ten-year gathering of herbs, and many of my friends don’t want to come thousands of miles away, I thank you here!"

Speaking of which, the old man cupped his hands in all directions, and there were many voices of retaliation around him. After a while, the old man continued: "Then I won't say any more. It's still the same as usual. Anyone who wants to go to Taixuan Mountain to collect medicine Yes, the medicinal materials obtained can be disposed of at will. Of course, our five major trading houses will also buy them at the highest price! In addition, for those who have the most rare medicinal materials, our five major trading companies will have other rewards, but Well, this time, let the old man keep a secret, what is this reward, I will tell everyone after the event is over, what I want to say is that this reward will definitely satisfy everyone!"

When the old man said this, there was a lot of discussion among the crowd. There was no such thing in previous years, and the rewards were announced first. Some people even suspected that the five major commercial firms might not want to give out the rewards.

However, many people retorted that if the five major commercial firms did not provide rewards, there would be no need for this conference to continue, and the five major commercial firms would not do such a thing.

The old man ignored everyone's comments and said: "Then this year's herb collection conference, let's start now! As usual, the duration is still one month. Within one month, the medicinal materials that are produced can be counted. After more than one month , if there are precious medicinal materials, we will certainly buy them, but we will not be able to participate in the competition for ranking rewards."

After the old man finished speaking, he walked back slowly. The herbal gathering conference has officially begun. Some people have already rushed towards Taixuan Mountain, and even some radicals have entered Taixuan Mountain long before today. Mountain, began to look for valuable medicinal materials.

After all, there are not many rules in this medicine gathering meeting, and it can even be said that there are no rules, so naturally it cannot be very rigorous. You entered the mountain ahead of time, as long as you come out within the specified time, it will be difficult for anyone to find out.

Of course, if you go in too early, or use the medicinal materials you picked in advance to participate in the competition, if they are not discovered, then it will pass, but the time cannot be too long. That is to say, it takes a month for the medicinal materials to be unearthed. If they have been collected long ago, they will be noticed by people if they have been removed from the soil for too long.

Besides, in Taixuan Mountain, at least a little deeper, there are dangers everywhere. If you stay for a long time, you are more likely to encounter danger. If you lose your life, it will not be worth the loss.

In the crowd, Yu Chenghe said: "Brother Su, Brother Xu, you also want to follow me into the mountains? Do you know the medicinal materials?"

Su Bai said with a smile: "I don't know much, so I'm right to join in the fun. The key is to rely on you, brother! I'm counting on you, brother Yu, to find the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!"

Yu Chenghe smiled wryly and said: "If I have this kind of luck, I can live ten years less! But last time I found the 500-year-old ginseng, I felt that I had used up all my luck in my life. Nothing to gain."

Su Bai shook his head and said: "Brother Yu, how can you be so unambitious, but Brother Yu has a very good plan! If you find the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, you can brew the medicinal wine that can prolong your life, even if you lose ten years of life. It may be able to make up for it, or even increase, so Brother Yu is not losing money!"

Yu Chenghe chuckled, it would be boring if this kind of thing couldn't be said!
Xu Chengxiang said with a smile: "Brother Su and I went into the mountain, but Brother Yu is going to help you again. The matter of collecting medicine depends entirely on Brother, but there are many dangers in Taixuan Mountain. With Brother Su and I, the key Sometimes I can handle one or two."

This is true. Yu Chenghe actually hopes that the two of them can go in with him. After all, he is just an ordinary person. He has never practiced martial arts. Leopard, I am afraid that he will lose his life, but with Su Bai and the other two following him, there is no need to be afraid of these dangers.

Just as they were chatting, the people in front also dispersed to go to Taixuan Mountain. Su Bai and the others stayed behind. After a rough calculation, there were about three to four hundred people who entered the mountain this time, and most of them were professional interviewers. The medicine man, and the others are some martial arts practitioners, hoping that if they are lucky, they can find some natural treasures.

Seeing that the people had almost left, Yu Chenghe said: "Let's go too, it's too late, and the medicinal materials ahead will be exhausted!"

Speaking of which, the three of them also found a way to enter the mountain. Of course, Yu Chenghe was just joking. It can be seen that the more precious the medicinal material is, the more likely it is to grow in an inaccessible place. Taixuan Mountain is so big that there is more than one way to enter the mountain. Three or four hundred people go in, even if a small stone is thrown into the sea, even the waves I can't even stir up a single flower!
Naturally, there were far more than 400 people present, and the rest was actually a sea of ​​people. Most of these people were watching the fun, and some of them were waiting to buy medicinal materials. After all, after these herb pickers picked the medicinal materials, But it doesn't have to be sold to the five major commercial firms. Other merchants and commercial firms can also be purchased.

Of course, their competitiveness is weaker compared to the rich and powerful five major commercial firms, but they can still grab some. Moreover, there are so many people entering the mountain, and the medicinal materials they collect will never be less. The five major commercial firms may not be all If you can eat it, there is some soup left over, which is enough for these businessmen to survive.

On the high platform, people from the five major commercial firms watched the herb pickers enter the mountain, all of them showed anticipation on their faces. Cui Wei, the head of the Cui family of "Wanfu Commercial Firm", looked at Fu Jinlai with a smile and said, "Master Fu must have Did you come prepared? I don’t know how many treasures you want to win this time?”

Fu Jinlai shook his head with a smile and said, "Why did Patriarch Cui say that? Everyone competes fairly, and naturally the one with the highest price wins. How can I get this natural talent and earthly treasure if I want it?"

Cui Wei said: "Although that's what I said, everyone knows that every time Mr. Fu's price is beyond our reach! So we can only hope that Mr. Fu can hold his hand high."

Fu Jin said back and forth: "That's because Patriarch Cui is reluctant to part with the money, otherwise my Fu family can't take over your Cui family!"

"Mr. Fu was just joking. Our Cui family is no match for your Fu family. Mr. Fu can speak a lot of words in the Fu family. No one dares to refute what he said, but I am 'Wanfu Commercial Firm', but there are still many people waiting to eat Well, this money does not belong to my Cui family." Cui Wei said with a sigh.

These words sound a little harsh, isn't it obvious that they despise other families of "Wanfu Commercial Bank"!Of course, the Cui family came to the "Wanfu Commercial Company" here, and in the "Wanfu Commercial Company", the Cui family is also the only one, so even if people from other families heard about it, they would not dare to say anything more.

As for the other three companies, "Chunshui Trading Company", "Sanchuan Trading Company", and "Yongquan Trading Company", they are all maintained by several families, and no one dominates. "Yongquan Trading Company" is better, and its cohesion is better. Both Chunshui Commercial Firm and Sanchuan Commercial Firm can't figure it out at home. If there is a natural treasure, if it is snatched, how many companies will be divided, and whose is it?
Therefore, if the situation is good and there are many natural materials and local treasures, these few companies may still be able to grab a plant, but if the situation is not good and there are few natural materials and local treasures, it will be difficult for them to take their turn.

Just like ten years ago, only five Tiancaidibao plants appeared, and three of them were bought by other people from the five major commercial firms. The two plants bought by the five major commercial firms were also purchased by "Wanfu Commercial Firm" and "Sanhe Commercial Firm". It was divided, and none of the other three companies got a single plant.

This time, in order to avoid such a situation from happening again, these three families came to Nanxuan City early in order to unite. If the situation like last time happens again, those two families cannot be allowed to specialize in the past.

This is also what the Qin family and the Fang family of "Chunshui Commercial Firm" have been busy with for the past few days. It's just that during the last auction, the Sun family's behavior was unreasonable, and some things inevitably showed their feet, so the three families were quite tense. There are faint signs of the Sun family being rejected by the Qin and Fang families.

It's just that this exclusion will weaken their own strength and affect their competitiveness. I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain anything this time.

In short, among these businessmen, they are all intrigues, and they are hard to guard against. The depth of the water is no less than that of the aristocratic circle in Shangjing.

The people on the high platform laughed at Yan Yan on the surface, but on the inside they were thinking how to swallow each other up to the bone, and after a scene of "happy conversation", they also dispersed.

Cui Xiaopeng quietly walked behind Cui Wei, and whispered, "Father, I just saw that Su Bai followed the two into Taixuan Mountain!"

Cui Wei squinted his eyes and said, "You actually entered the mountain? That's easy to handle. In this mountain, accidents happen everywhere."

Cui Xiaopeng nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I'll find someone to arrange it!"
