Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"The Immortal Cat Valley is located in a remote place, with only a few thousand monks, only one first-order mid-grade spiritual vein, and poor resources. Normally, our cross-domain flying boat can fly directly over it, but the alliance leader has important arrangements here, so we still have to stop there. About two days.”

"I wonder what the deployment is?"

At this time, the third elder had a look of condensation on his face: "Is this what you should ask?"

"My nephew was abrupt." Nangong Shou apologized hastily.

The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward.

"Ahem..." Maybe he felt that he was a little too harsh just now. The third elder wanted to lighten the atmosphere and said: "Speaking of Fairy Cat Valley, I remembered something very interesting. My nephew would like to hear it. ?”

Seeing the soothing expression on the third elder's face, Nangong Shou breathed a sigh of relief and asked cooperatively, "What's the matter?"

"Hundreds of years ago, I still remember that the Qingyun Sect's trade route first opened to the isolated Fairy Cat Valley. Merchants wanted to do business with the Zhangjiaji people in the Fairy Cat Valley and were willing to exchange elixirs, talismans, spiritual stones, etc. Things are scarce here, what do you think the elder of Zhangjiaji came up with at that time?"

"What did you take out?" Nangong Shou asked curiously.

"They took out... hahaha..." Nangong Shou couldn't help but laugh to himself, "They took out five carts of first-order monster excrement, hahaha... and said these first-order monster excrement It is very fertile and was just picked up by the tribe. It is actually the most rare thing in Zhangjiaji... Hahaha..."

"Hahaha……"

The two laughed so loudly that they almost burst into tears.

Fairy Cat Valley.

Zhang Sanqian hurried to the secret room.

"Temple Master, it's not good, something serious is going to happen..."

"What's going on?" Henry Zhang stopped practicing and asked.

"A huge cross-region treasure boat is heading towards our Fairy Cat Valley. The clan leader summoned the elders and strong branches of all clans to gather outside the Fairy Cat Valley."

"Cross-region treasure boat? Could it be that someone from Shangzong arrived early?"

"I don't know. It is said that it will take more than a month for the people from the sect to arrive."

"Whatever, I'll go take a look first."

After leaving the secret room, Henry Zhang directly took out the bloodthirsty bat, rode the second-level monster, and headed outside the Fairy Cat Valley.

When Henry Zhang arrived, other clan elders were already gathered there.

Putting away the second-level monster mount, Zhang Xuan asked Zhang Xingshan on the side: "Old Nine Clansmen, do you know what's going on?"

"Just now the spies came again to report that there is a logo of the Merchant Alliance on the cross-region treasure boat."

"So, did the Merchant Alliance arrive early?"

"I'm afraid so."

As he spoke, a huge cross-region treasure boat appeared in front of everyone.

The most powerful flying ship in Zhangjiaji is only a first-order high-grade magic weapon. Compared with the cross-domain treasure boat in front of me, it is like a firefly to a bright moon.

"The Zhang family gathers the old and powerful branches of the Zhang clan to welcome the merchants from the upper clan!" Zhang Yuhuai shouted respectfully.

The cross-domain treasure boat stopped.

A Foundation-Building Dzogchen monk walked out from above, his consciousness spread, and everyone present felt the powerful pressure on him.

There is a fundamental difference between the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen and the later Foundation Establishment stage. The Foundation Establishment Dzogchen is only a half-step golden elixir cultivation level.

"I am the third elder of the Merchant Alliance. Our Merchant Alliance arrived at Fairy Cat Valley one month early. Do you mind?" The third elder asked with a haughty look on his face.

"I don't mind, I don't mind..." Zhang Yuhuai said hurriedly, "It is an honor for the Zhang clan that the Merchant Alliance can come to our Immortal Cat Valley in advance. Guest rooms have been prepared in the inner ring, and all merchants are invited to rest in the inner ring guest rooms. "

The elders of the clan heard that the merchants from the Shang sect had arrived early, and all of them had bright smiles on their faces.

"Great. Since the last beast wave, the high-grade elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons in Fairy Cat Valley have been almost exhausted."

"Now it's better. After a long drought, rain comes. I look forward to the stars, the moon, and finally the Shangzong merchant ship is here."

…

The third elder said: "There is no need to prepare the guest room. Immortal Cat Valley only has first-order middle-grade spiritual veins. Many merchants are used to practicing on first-order high-grade spiritual veins or second-order spiritual veins. In such a place with thin spiritual energy, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it." To adapt, it’s better to practice in the cross-domain treasure boat’s spirit gathering formation.”

Zhang Yuhuai was stunned, but still said with a smile on his face: "The merchants of the Shang Zong have a distinguished status, as they should. Please come to the Fairy Cat Valley for a drink, so that we can help the merchants of the Shang Zong."

At this time, Shangguan Shou also got off the cross-domain treasure boat, pinched his nose and said, "Why does it smell like shit?"

The third elder couldn't help laughing when he saw Shangguan Shou's disgusted look.

The elders of the Zhang family at the scene felt embarrassed.

The third elder wiped away the tears from his laughter and said: "There is no need to take the wind and wash the dust. Let's just walk around your market and buy some specialties. Let's keep them as souvenirs."

"Then I will immediately arrange for someone to lead the way for several merchants." Zhang Yuhuai said quickly.

You know, such a large merchant team only happens once every ten years.

After entertaining them well, there will be no shortage of high-grade elixirs, talismans, and formations in the next ten years.

Zhangjiaji's second-level formations, talismans, and some second-level rare elixirs all depended on these Shangzong merchants.

Just seeing the disgusted looks on these merchants' faces cast a shadow on Zhang Yuhuai's heart.

In previous years, Shangzong merchants would purchase a large amount of monster materials, elixirs, and spiritual grains from Zhangjiaji.

However, with the increase in the number of affiliated forces of the Qingyun Sect, the competition faced by Zhangjiaji has become increasingly fierce.

The newly joined affiliated forces, such as Luoxingyuan, produce tens of millions of catties of spiritual grain every year, and the price is low.

This directly led to a sharp drop in merchants' purchases of Fairy Cat Valley spiritual grain.

As for monster materials, the affiliated forces are all located in the Black Domain Forest, and they hunt a large number of monsters every year, so monster materials can't be sold at a high price.

In terms of spiritual medicine, Qingyun Sect has opened up hundreds of thousands of spiritual medicine fields on the third-level spiritual veins, and there is no shortage of spiritual medicine.

Unless some spiritual medicines are particularly rare, they can't be sold at a high price.

The third elder saw that the other party was a small force, but his attitude was quite respectful, and said: "Since Patriarch Zhang is kind, then thank you for arranging a few smart ones to follow our group of merchants, but we will only stay here for one or two days, and we can't go to many places."

"Only stay for one or two days?" The elders of the clan trembled when they heard it.

There are hundreds of merchants on the cross-domain treasure boat, representing various businesses in Qingyun Mountain. Of course, some small forces have obtained business leads and will also be on the cross-domain treasure boat.

In addition, there are thousands of independent cultivators who bought boat tickets, and these people have limited consumption.

If these merchants only stay for one or two days, they really can't buy too many things.

In one or two days, they can visit one or two markets at most.

There are nine markets in Xianmao Valley, representing nine major branches.

These major branches began to prepare the spiritual materials purchased by the merchants three years ago.

They just want to seize this precious opportunity.

At this time, the minds of various elders became active.

They sent messages to the clan leader one after another, asking their descendants of the major branches to serve as guides for the merchants for free.

Zhang Yuhuai is old and shrewd, so he naturally knows the thoughts of these elders.

"All merchants are divided according to the number of shops and spiritual fields of each major branch, and all spiritual materials are all at the originally agreed price, and no private price reduction is allowed!" Zhang Yuhuai sent a message to each elder with a cold face.
