Chapter 267 Contract Renewal
And if Jin Dan was to be sent to take charge, the strength of the Li family would be weakened, and Yuan Mingzong might not be able to hold back. In the end, he would have to give up the idea of going to Efengzhou and opening a branch in Beifu.
"I don't know how many monks Shen Lei Mountain will summon to join the battle this time. How many spiritual objects should we prepare?"
Li Chengmo thought for a while and said, "Prepare as much as possible. Even if you can't use it all, you can still sell it."
No one raised a voice to refute, so it naturally passed smoothly.
"By the way, is the contract with the Nanya Chamber of Commerce coming to an end? Do you want to renew the contract with them then?" an elder suddenly said.
"Forget it!" The elder of the general affairs department immediately shook his head and said: "I once calculated an account and found that selling the Zengyuan Pill to the Nanya Chamber of Commerce would not be as much as we would make from selling it ourselves."
Li Zhirui frowned slightly when he heard this. Indeed, this deal was just like what he said. The family could earn more spiritual stones by selling the Zengyuan Pill.
But among them, making money is secondary! The most important thing is the channel of Nanya Chamber of Commerce! This is a channel where you can purchase high-end spiritual items!
The current strength of the Li family is indeed good. Among the major forces under the rule of Shenleishan, except for some old vassals, the Li family is the most powerful and has the most potential.
But even so, Xuanfa Pavilion is still lukewarm towards the Li family and will not open a small door for them at all. For example, some precious spiritual objects are impossible to buy from Xuanfa Pavilion and must participate in the auction to bid.
It is true that these spiritual objects are precious, but they are not all going to be auctioned, right? It’s not like Xuanfa Pavilion has no inventory!
But the Nanya Chamber of Commerce is different. They will give the Li family this small privilege.
This alone is enough to make the Li family lean towards the Nanya Chamber of Commerce!
"Renew the contract!" Li Chengmo knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "We must firmly bind the Nanya Chamber of Commerce."
Fortunately, there are no sane people in the family, so Li Zhirui will not personally oppose it.
If he really does this, then this elder may not be far from stepping down.
There is no way, Li Zhirui, the golden elixir monk, has such a high status in the family.
"I have to ask you, ancestor, to make a trip to renew the contract." Li Chengmo said directly to Li Shiqing without explaining.
"good!"
Next, the family discussed a few more things. For example, during the spirit testing conference some time ago, several clan members were added to the family. Among them, the most qualified person was a person with the three spiritual roots of wind, fire, and wood, named Li Chengfeng.
"By the way, Zhirui, how is your refining of the Vitality Pill going?"
After years of understanding and the elixir collected by his family, Li Zhirui started refining it not long ago.
As for the result, it has not been successful so far!
Although he has refined third-level elixirs many times and has rich experience, it is impossible for him to succeed as soon as he gets started.
However, Li Zhirui speculated that he was not far away from success, and he should be able to refine the Vitality Pill after a dozen more attempts.
After the meeting, he went to the warehouse to receive a batch of elixirs that his family had just purchased, and prepared to study them further.
Li Shiqing left for Qingshan Prefecture to discuss contract renewal with Nanya.
Both parties were happy to facilitate this matter, and there were no problems. But in the end, Liu Yongqing said with a smile: "I heard that the Li family is refining the Vitality Pill. I wonder what the progress is now?"
The Li family purchased the materials for refining the Vitality Pill from the Nanya Chamber of Commerce. They knew this, which was a normal thing.
But when Liu Yongqing mentioned it now, he couldn't just ask it casually. His real purpose was to sign another treaty with the Li family to exclusively sell Vitality Pills.
"This..." Li Shiqing hesitated. According to the family's plan, they wanted to sell the Vitality Pills themselves to earn more spirit stones. After all, as the number of clan members increased, the expenses were also increasing day by day.
However, he was worried that his refusal would affect the last treaty that had not been formally signed, and the Li family would lose the channel of the Nanya Chamber of Commerce.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, this will not affect our friendship." Liu Yongqing saw what Li Shiqing was worried about and immediately said to let him relax.
"However, if there is a chance, I still hope that your family can sell some of the Vitality Pills to us."
Li Shiqing was a little confused, maybe it was a misunderstanding, he always felt that Liu Yongqing was a bit humble about this matter!
"I still need to discuss this matter with my family before I can give an answer to my fellow Taoist." But in the end, he still did not give an accurate answer.
After sending Li Shiqing away, Liu Yongqing sat back and murmured to himself: "If it hadn't been for that battle, how would I have known that the Li family's alchemy level was so high!"
There was already less erysipelas in water-refined elixirs, and Li Zhirui refined even less. And as he became more and more proficient, the quality of the elixirs also improved.
Even if he deliberately selected some of low quality and sold them to the Nanya Chamber of Commerce, they were still much better than before!
The price they sold for did not increase, but the Nanya Chamber of Commerce raised the price of Zengyuan Dan on the grounds that it was of better quality, thereby earning more spiritual stones and making greater profits.
And Liu Yongqing's inquiry about the Vitality Pill now is not for the present, but for the distant future!
The profit of Vitality Pill is much higher than that of Zengyuan Pill
As long as he tied the Li family tightly, it would be enough to ensure that his position as the shopkeeper would not fall into the hands of others.
——
After Li Shiqing returned to the family, he discussed the matter with Li Zhirui and others, and finally agreed to Liu Yongqing, because the Nanya Chamber of Commerce was very important to the Li family and needed to further establish a good relationship.
Of course, the benefits must still be obtained, and this time, Li Zhirui's practice materials were purchased by the Li family, so the price will not be as cheap as last time.
"Zhirui, can you handle this on your own? Will it delay your cultivation?" Li Shiqing asked Li Zhirui for his opinion.
And he had no problem with this, because now he was refining alchemy more often and much faster, so he had enough time to practice.
When Li Shiqing came to the Nanya Chamber of Commerce again and told the Li family's conditions, Liu Yongqing suddenly showed a happy smile on his face.
"Then I wish us happy cooperation!"
After discussing the details, the two parties signed the contract again, but this time there were two copies.
"Dare to ask my friend, when will the Vitality Pill be available?" Liu Yongqing asked curiously.
Li Shiqing shook his head. Li Zhirui did not elaborate on this matter. He was indeed not very clear about it.
"Fellow Taoist, if your family is short of elixirs, we can give you a batch of elixirs for free." Liu Yongqing knew very well that the icing on the cake is far less memorable than offering help in times of need.
"No reward for no merit, thank you for your kindness." The free ones are the most expensive! Li Shiqing expressed his rejection without hesitation.
Thank you for your support
