Chapter 646: Barter

Da Zhou, as the most powerful country in Nan Yazhou, has long had no powerful monsters in its territory.

Even the Heavenly Wolf Demon Saint in the depths of the Southern Wilderness dared not enter Da Zhou alone.

Even if the two Yuanshen cultivators Qing Yunzi and Yu Daoren did not take action, the foundation left by the senior cultivators of the ten major sects of Da Zhou could beat the Heavenly Wolf Demon Saint to ashes.

You should know that in the past tens of thousands of years, two cultivators in Nan Yazhou have ascended to immortality, and Qinglihai, which has a wider area and more high-level cultivators, is even better.

Without powerful monsters, monster materials in Da Zhou are relatively rare.

When cultivators seek the truth, they always need some monster materials, and the cultivators of Da Zhou can only rely on external purchases.

The first channel is the Hundred Kingdoms of the Southern Wilderness, but the power of the Hundred Kingdoms of the Southern Wilderness is scattered, and it is rare to get high-level monster materials.

A stronger country like Song will also sign a contract with the Southern Wilderness monsters, and the battle between the two sides will not involve masters above the Jindan level.

The second is to trade with the monks of Qingli Sea. There are three channels between Nanyazhou and Qingli Sea. The first is the Yunxiao Sect teleportation array, the second is to take the Flying Star Road and use high-level treasure ships for transportation, and the third is to take the Sky-Splitting Canyon.

There are frequent battles between humans and monsters in Qingli Sea, so it is relatively easy to get high-level monster materials, some of which will flow into Nanyazhou to exchange for some special spiritual objects in Nanyazhou.

The third channel is Wan Yao Valley. Compared with the Heavenly Wolf Monster Saint in the Southern Wilderness, the Green Ape Monster Saint of Wan Yao Country is more mortal. He actually imitated the human country and established the Monster Country, occupying the territory in the northwest of Nanyazhou.

Wan Yao Valley rarely expands its territory, but conflicts still break out from time to time with Da Zhou.

When the two sides fight, they can naturally obtain monster materials.

Although there are three major channels, the price of monster materials in Da Zhou is still about 10% to 20% higher than that in places like Yu State and Song State.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan was willing to exchange with monster materials, Duan Jingtian narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and said: "Of course it is possible to use monster materials. Our Shenmu Sect is also willing to give you a preferential price, just as a long-term friend. However, according to your request, you need 40 furnaces to refine the auxiliary spiritual medicine for foundation building, and you need to purchase more than a dozen fifth-level spiritual herbs. This is a very large number. At least a few fifth-level monsters must be hunted, and the fourth-level monsters of the vassal must be added."

The fifth-level monsters in the Southern Wilderness all have their support.

Even a fake like Qing Jiao will find the Swallowing Heaven Toad as a backer.

If you want to hunt a fifth-level monster, you must have the support of a strong sect.

Even the Danyang Sect's Song Patriarch is far from enough, and he is simply unable to engage in fierce conflicts with the Southern Wilderness monsters.

In the past thousand years, the most violent expansion in the Southern Wilderness is the Wu Kingdom.

It's a pity that after the civil strife in Wu, even the previous sphere of influence can't be maintained.

Among the hundreds of countries in the Southern Wilderness, large-scale wars rarely occur between humans and monsters.

The materials of the fifth-level monsters are also very rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhang Zhixuan and the other four took off dozens of storage bags from their bodies. He pointed at these storage bags and said, "There are too many materials. If we want to count them all, we need a spacious treasury."

"That's easy. Fellow Daoist Zhang, please follow me."

Duan Jingtian led Zhang Zhixuan and the other four into the cave with a smile on his face, and took a short-distance teleportation array directly to the treasury at the mountain gate of the Shenmu Sect.

The Shenmu Sect treasury has a huge space. It is a large cave excavated in the belly of the mountain. There are a few spiritual lights in the cave, and there are powerful restrictions everywhere. On the rock wall, every three or five steps are dotted with pearls.

The pearl halo is soft, as if every blade of grass and every tree can be seen clearly under the morning sun.

There are many cultivators stationed in the treasury. These people are busy coming and going in the treasury, counting and storing spiritual objects one by one.

After a while, a Jindan level 3 cultivator came out of the treasury. He was dressed in black and had a long beard on his chin. He looked very elegant.

When he saw Duan Jingtian and the others, he laughed and said, "It seems that Senior Brother Duan has received a big deal again."

Duan Jingtian said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lu, this Taoist Zhang is our old customer. This time he brought a large amount of monster materials and hopes to exchange a batch of spiritual medicine with us. You should find a few disciples who are good at identifying monster materials. It's just right to count the materials in Taoist Zhang's hands and put them into the warehouse."

Duan Jingtian and Wu Yunpu chatted with Zhang Zhixuan and the others for several hours and exchanged some experiences in cultivation. However, they did not reveal a word about the details of their own cultivation methods.

This kind of general exchange is of no use to a Jindan stage cultivator like Zhang Zhixuan.

At the level of Zhang Zhixuan, only the unreserved exchange of experience will be helpful to the path of Taoism.

Exchanging cultivation experience without reservation means that they are not on guard against each other. Even if they are fellow Jindan cultivators, it is difficult for them to teach each other everything they know.

Zhang Zhixuan has been cultivating for many years, and the only friends who exchange experience with him are Qingchan and Hanyan. Recently, Liu Guyan and Liu Lingjun have been added, but they are less than one hand.

The relationship between them is either relatives or master and apprentice.

The few people waited for several hours, and more than 20 Shenmu Sect cultivators finally counted the monster materials.

"How is it, how much spiritual stones are estimated? This fellow Daoist Zhang is our old customer, there is no need to be shy, just tell me the real price."

Duan Jingtian knows the low-level cultivators in the treasury very well. He made the topic clear, and the low-level cultivators in the treasury did not dare to fool the Jindan ancestor.

They took out a list and handed it to Zhang Zhixuan, saying: "According to the prices in Shengyuan City, this batch of monster materials is worth about 1.23 million spirit stones, but the wholesale price of bulk goods may be about 10% lower."

Duan Jingtian nodded and said: "Since it is a bulk transaction, it might as well be the wholesale price. Even if the auxiliary spirit medicine for a furnace of foundation-building pills is 22,000 spirit stones, there are only seven mature fifth-level spirit medicines in our treasury that Zhang Daoyou needs, which adds up to 180,000 spirit stones. I'll find you 60,000 spirit stones to make up for it."

Both parties wanted to maintain a long-term relationship, and the transaction process was very pleasant, without even bargaining.

Even the 60,000 spirit stones that Duan Jingtian found for Zhang Zhixuan were high-quality spirit stones, obviously wanting to maintain Zhang Zhixuan as a big customer.

With such a big business, the profit of Shenmu Sect inside and outside reached about 300,000 spirit stones.

300,000 spirit stones is equivalent to the net income of Shengyuan City for three years.

As long as Shenmu Sect can keep eight or ten big customers like this, it can earn a steady stream of wealth.

Even though they were very jealous of the resources in the storage bags of Zhang Zhixuan and his four companions, the two of them were far-sighted and there were restrictions on the sect rules. The two Shenmu Sect Jindan covered for Zhang Zhixuan.

Even the low-level cultivators of Shenmu Sect who heard the news were controlled by the two and were not released until Zhang Zhixuan and his four companions left for a month.

Because the news was kept secret, naturally no one paid attention to this batch of spiritual herbs.

When the news spread, Zhang Zhixuan and his four companions had returned to Yu State safely.
