Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The moon was rising, and the stars were like rain. Outside Qingfeng Mountain, two rays of light fell, revealing the figures of Tang Ning and Shang Daoxian.

Not long after, the huge light curtain dissolved into a gap, and a group of people filed out. The leader was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a Chinese character face, a tiger body and a wolf waist, with piercing eyes. He was in the middle stage of refining the void. .

"Fellow Taoist Tang is here. Shang is so far away from us. I apologize for my inconvenience." The man smiled and bowed his head. This man was Shang Boyuan, the general manager of the business.

Tang Ning returned the courtesy and said: "Fellow Taoist Shang, you don't have to be polite. I have heard of you for a long time, and I feel very honored to be invited to visit you."

"It is an honor for Shang to have such a humble name in the ears of Taoist friend Tang. Taoist friend Tian Zong is a talented person. He has only been practicing for a few hundred years and has entered the realm of refining the void. It really makes Shang ashamed. To be honest, Shang has been there for a long time. I want to make friends with Taoists, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to do so.”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and Shang Boyuan introduced him to the men and women behind him. The group of people filed into the room, came to a hall, and sat down separately for guests and hosts.

"Fellow Shang Dao, if you're being polite, we don't need to say more. I'm here to discuss the monster trade with your house this time. Let's get straight to the point! To be honest, I'm a little worried. Your house will withdraw from the left side. After Brown County, all aspects of affairs will be greatly affected. I want to know whether the current situation of your government will affect our future cooperation. Please tell the truth." Tangning asked straight to the point without mincing words.

"Fellow Taoist Tang's quick words are in line with Shang's wish. Fellow Taoist, please rest assured that although our government has withdrawn from Zuozong County, it still has a certain influence in Donglai County. Our government has been deployed in Donglai County for many years and has There are many shops and industries. Among other things, the mountain range under our feet is the territory that our government previously took over. It is the place where our government operates to dispose of the corpses of monsters. The reason why I am hosting the Taoist friends here is to let the Taoists know. Come and see with your own eyes. Later, if fellow Taoist Tang is interested, I can take you to the hall where spiritual wine and food are made."

As soon as Shang Boyuan finished speaking, several maids from outside filed in sitting on jade trays, placed them in front of Tang Ning's desk and then retreated.

"Fellow Taoist, please have a taste. This is the spiritual wine and spiritual food refined by our government."

Tang Ning raised the glass and took a sip, then put a few delicacies on each jade plate and tasted them. She nodded slightly, pointed at the wine bottles and dishes and said one by one: "This should be your Yangliu Jade Dew wine. This is Tiger bone white jade, this is green dragon chalcedony, this is phoenix spreading its wings, this is mandarin duck jade, this is volcanic snow, am I right?”

"I didn't expect Fellow Taoist Tang to know so much about the spiritual wine and food refined by our mansion. What Fellow Taoist said is absolutely right."

"These signs of your mansion have long been famous in Donglai County. Everyone knows about them. Even though I am ignorant, I still understand them."

Shang Boyuan smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, do you know what kind of monster flesh and blood are used in this spiritual wine and several dishes?"

"I heard that the willow jade dew wine is made from the blood of the sky pattern butterfly, the tiger bone white jade is made from the flesh and blood of the Tongtian tiger monster, the green dragon chalcedony is made from the flesh and blood of the green-crowned snake, the phoenix spreads its wings from the flesh and blood of the colorful peacock, and the mandarin duck jade is made from the flesh and blood of the golden-winged bird. , the volcanic snow comes from red phosphorus flesh.”

"Fellow Taoist Tang is very knowledgeable and accurate. Does Taoist friend know when these spiritual foods were made?"

"The taste is warm and moist, the meat is delicious, the residual heat has not dissipated, and the color is bright. It should have been refined not long ago."

"This is made at noon today, specially for entertaining fellow Taoists."

Tangning naturally knew what it meant. She was simply using this action to show him Shang Mansion's ability to refine spiritual wine and spiritual food, and to tell him with practical actions that Shang Mansion's monster industry chain had never been broken, so that he could rest assured. .

"Fellow Taoist Shang, let's not talk secretly. I believe that your government still has channels to maintain important industries such as refining spiritual wine, spiritual food, elixir refining, weapon refining, and talisman making. What I am more worried about is that your government can How big should we keep it? Let’s be more straightforward! Can your government guarantee that our transactions will continue? Will there come a time when your industry will be significantly reduced and the monsters I provide will no longer be needed.”

Shang Boyuan said: "Since fellow Taoist Tang mentioned this issue, okay! Let's open the skylight and talk about lighting. To be honest, the scale of our government's industry has indeed shrunk a lot. After all, it is a period of war, and various resources are tight. In addition, our government has withdrawn from Zuozhong County, the supply of many materials is insufficient, and the entire market is shrinking, resulting in a significant reduction in the scale of our industry."

"However, our government has the ability to increase the scale of industry at any time. All the monks engaged in industrial manufacturing are present in our government. What is lacking now is raw materials, so fellow Taoist Tang can rest assured. For our government, the more supply of raw materials, the better. Fellow Taoist provided As much as you want, we’ll charge you.”

"As long as fellow Taoist Tang is willing to cooperate, our government will definitely provide the best conditions. No matter how many demon beasts you provide, our government will buy them all. Even if our government can't get these many, even if it is a loss-making transaction, it will never make it difficult for fellow Taoist to do it. ”

Tang Ning smiled slightly and was very satisfied with Shang Boyuan's attitude: "I feel relieved that your government is sincere."

Shang Boyuan raised his glass and said: "Shang has long admired Taoist Taoist Tang's name and has long wanted to make friends with Taoist Taoist Tang. Meeting today is a great joy in our lives. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Tang Ning also raised his glass and the two of them drank it down in one gulp: "Fellow Taoist Shang, can you tell me where the monster beasts used to refine the spiritual wine and spiritual food in your mansion come from?"

"Nowadays, most monsters are purchased from the Chamber of Commerce."

"Then what's the purchase price?"

Shang Boyuan said: "Our government signed a contract with fellow Taoist at the price of purchasing the monster from the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. A third-order low-grade monster, one fifty-high-grade spirit stone. A third-order middle-grade monster, one hundred high-grade spirit. Stone. A third-level high-grade monster with two hundred high-grade souls.”

"The fourth-level low-grade monster has one thousand spiritual stones for one high-grade monster. The fourth-order mid-grade monster has two thousand spiritual stones for one. The fourth-order high-grade monster has four thousand spiritual stones for one."

"A fifth-level low-grade monster has 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones, a mid-grade monster has 40,000 high-grade spiritual stones, and a high-grade monster has 80,000 high-grade spiritual stones."

"For sixth-level monsters, the lowest grade is 400,000 high-grade spiritual stones, the middle grade is 800,000 high-grade spiritual stones, and the top grade is 1.6 million high-grade spiritual stones."

"This is just the price of the corpse, the price of the demon elixir is calculated separately. If the corpse of the demon beast is incomplete and has been broken into a pile of flesh and blood, it will be sold by the stone. The flesh and blood of the third-level low-grade demon beast will be sold for one stone and the high-grade spirit stone..."

The two drank and talked. Shang Boyuan showed great sincerity. Tangning did not think about bargaining. The price he gave met his expectations. The two parties happily agreed on the terms. It can be said that the conversation was very pleasant. joyous.

After drinking for a few rounds, Shang Boyuan led him around the various wine and food making halls. When he saw a large amount of monster flesh and blood being put into the wine and food refining furnace, Tang Ning no longer had any doubts.

"Then it's settled, Fellow Daoist Tang, as long as you get the corpse of the monster over there and send it directly here, I will immediately pay the spirit stone as agreed." Outside Qingfeng Mountain, Shang Boyuan saw him out of the light curtain and said said.

"Fellow Daoist Shang, stay here. I'll take my leave." After Tangning said that, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Father, this Tangning is only in the early stage of Void Refining. Why do you attach so much importance to him? You have offered him such a high condition. If we lower the price, there is nothing he can do. Besides, with our current manpower and territory, we have the Chamber of Commerce Providing monsters is already enough work, if you take more, you may not be able to eat it," said a graceful woman behind Shang Boyuan.

"This person is not simple. It only took him a short two hundred years from the stage of becoming a god to refining the void. In addition, behind him is the care of Nangong Muxue, a high-ranking member of Taixuan Sect. His future is limitless. We cooperate with him to bring him to our house." With our interests tied together, we may become a very powerful ally in the future.”

"My uncle is far-sighted, and my nephew thinks so too. As the so-called rare commodity can live in, this person has a profound background in Taixuanzong and has made very rapid progress in cultivation. He may have a place in Taixuanzong in the future. If we win him over now, we can win over him in the future. It's for foreign aid," Shang Daoxian said.

"You did a good job on this."

"It's all due to my uncle's good guidance. Without the pill you gave me, it wouldn't have been so easy for my nephew to get in touch with him."

"From now on, you will be solely responsible for the cooperation matters on this line. If you need anything, come to me directly. When you are in the coalition, you must be more careful and take care of yourself."
