Wanyao Valley, Yaotian Mountain. Ning Zhuo and Lin Shanshan walked side by side on the mountainside. Looking far into the distance, the afternoon sun was warm, shining on the mountains, and the golden light was everywhere. Yaotian Mountain was like a painting. The terraces were layered and green. In the medicine field, all kinds of herbs were lush and full of vitality. There were green spirit grass as green as jade, with slender leaves, swaying gently in the breeze, and full of luster. There were clusters of purple clouds blooming, with petals like clouds, and the fragrance was overflowing, attracting bees to fly. There were snow lotus seeds as white as jade, dotted the green fields, like stars scattered on the ground, with a faint light. There were also Chilong fruits as red as fire, with full fruits, hanging on the branches, like small lanterns, adding bright colors. There were also golden thread vines winding around, the vines were like golden silk, shining in the sun, and the vitality was overflowing. Between the medicine fields, the paths were straight, well-planned, and paved with bluestone.
There are also many streams, which are specially arranged to divert water from the spiritual spring and infuse it into the medicinal fields of various sizes. The breeze blows, and the various medicinal fragrances are mixed together, refreshing. Lin Shanshan led the way in front, and the elders in the sect were responsible for explaining to Ning Zhuo. The elders in the sect were introducing the magic array of Yaotian Mountain at this time. "The main one is the Bagua array, which is used to protect against foreign enemies and can also cut off pests." "There is the Qingshan Guben array, which is used to maintain the fertility of the land and never change." "There is also the Lingquan Juyuan array, which extracts the spiritual spring and infuses it into the medicinal field, helping each herb to absorb and grow to the greatest extent." Several people walked along the way and saw that there was a noise in the pavilion in the distance, and the crowd gathered together. "Go and see what happened?" The elder of the sect frowned and immediately ordered his followers. The followers left quickly and returned quickly: "Someone is causing trouble." "The merchant named Li Jingqing wanted to buy on credit without money. This was against the rules, so the responsible fellow sect refused." "Li Jingqing cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang himself, saying that all his money had been stolen. The Wanyao Sect itself was responsible for failing to monitor the situation." "He carried a large amount of money with him, which was not entirely his own. If he didn't bring back the herbs this time, he would have no way to explain himself, and his fate would be worse than death! " "He shouted, expecting that he would die miserably in the future, and regarded credit as his only way to survive. If Wanyaomen didn't allow it, he would just hit his head against the wall and die!" The elder of the sect looked gloomy, and immediately snorted coldly: "A mere merchant is forcing my Wanyaomen to do this." Lin Shanshan looked at Ning Zhuo: "It's true that evil will be punished. Li Jingqing had previously conspired to plot against you, young master, but I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly. " Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly: "If you do too much evil, you will die!" "However, Since he has taken the initiative to apologize to me, the grudge between him and me has long been resolved. " "It's not good to let him go on like this, right?"
"Now is the important time for your sect to distribute medicine and sell it to all parties. It will be bad for Li Jingqing to make such a fuss." Ning Zhuo said this and smiled slightly: "Miss Lin and the elders of your sect cannot take action due to their status." "Why don't you let me do it." As he said this, he took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to his follower: "You go and say that I, Ning Zhuo, lent it to Li Jingqing. Five thousand low-grade spirit stones. Tell him to stop making trouble, and use these five thousand low-grade spirit stones to buy some herbs and deal with the task first. " The sect elder heard this and immediately sighed: "Young Master is righteous!" Lin Shanshan smiled: "Thank you. Later, the spirit stones will be offered three times." Ning Zhuo also smiled and said: "It's just a small matter, just do it casually. There is no need for spirit stones. Five thousand spirit stones are low-grade and a small number. Let's talk about the cooperation between the two sides, which is more important." Lin Shanshan smiled but said nothing. The sect elder said: "The specific price list, Young Master Ning Zhuo, please take a look." As he said, he handed Ning Zhuo a jade slip. Ning Zhuo took it, held it in his hand, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the jade slip and read it quickly. He frowned slightly: "The price of the goods on this list is very different from the price those merchants pay for the goods." "My clan and your sect are going to cooperate for a long time, and the annual purchase scale will not be small. So, can't there be a discount?" Lin Shanshan remained silent. The sect elder shook his head and pointed to the pavilion where the trouble had just occurred: "Mr. Ning Zhuo, you just saw it with your own eyes. The herbs in our Wanyao Valley have never had trouble selling. It's always like this, and the store is always crowded with people." "If we rashly reduce the price, it will be difficult for our sect to explain to the public." Ning Zhuo smiled slightly, knowing that the Wanyao Sect must have the purpose of demonstrating its own strength in this mountaineering inspection. He had expected this, but he was still calm and composed: "Your sect is doing well, which is really enviable." "My clan is different from these vendors." "Let alone the fighting power of my family's Nascent Soul, my clan comes from Beifeng Country, and we value the northern spirit the most." "If we form an alliance, there has never been a case of betrayal." "The world of cultivation speaks with strength. If there are any problems in the future, can these vendors be a strong support for your sect?" For a moment, Lin Shanshan looked sideways, and the sect elder raised his eyebrows. Neither of them spoke. Ning Zhuo smiled and walked ahead, leaving time for the two to react. Lin Shanshan and the sect elder looked at each other, and both felt that Ning Zhuo's negotiation was like his casting a spell. Once it was launched, it was a surging momentum that moved people's hearts. The sect elder said nothing, but gave Lin Shanshan a look. Lin Shanshan walked quickly and walked to a position side by side with Ning Zhuo, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Yaotian Mountain together.
She said: "What Young Master Ning Zhuo just said has touched everyone's heart. But the alliance between the two families is of great importance. Please don't blame me for underestimating the Young Master. I just want to ask, Young Master, do you have the final say in this matter?" ?” Ning Zhuo smiled, still looking at the layers of medicinal fields: "I said I can do it. Even if Miss Lin believes in me, your father will not believe it." "In just a few days, when your sect goes to Fire Persimmon Mountain to collect information and returns, everything will be revealed." "Before that, I just wanted to move this forward faster." "Although our clan and the noble sect are far apart, they are very complementary to each other. The noble sect needs our clan's military force, and our clan has only moved from the north to the South Dou Country for more than ten years, so we also need strong reinforcements to stabilize the situation. " "If we can form an alliance in the future, our two families will be more complementary, and we will benefit from cooperation." "In front of Miss Lin, I feel that there is no need to bargain. Being such a philistine has polluted the relationship between you and me. Simply, I will tell the truth." "My clan cannot afford the price on that list." "My clan migrated from the North. Over the years, we have been recuperating and have only regained a little strength." "Not long ago, the Lava Immortal Palace was born on Huo Shi Mountain, and the entire Huo Shi Immortal City experienced many turmoils. The craze of monsters once threatened to overthrow the entire Immortal City." "Every year we buy medicinal materials and take out so many spiritual stones, but my clan can't take them out. I thought, maybe we can barter." "Look at this, this is Fire Persimmon, a specialty of Fire Persimmon Mountain. It has many uses. It can be used as medicine, as a tool refining, as fuel and as an explosive material." Lin Shanshan took the fire persimmon, but did not check it, but held it in her hand. She stared at Ning Zhuo with a pair of wonderful eyes and said sincerely: "Our Wanyao Sect has long known about the fire persimmon product. When the fire persimmon fairy city was first built, the previous elders formed a team to inspect it." "To be honest, we initially viewed this fire persimmon as a competitor and were worried that it would impact the medicinal materials market in the Southern Bean Country." "However, after the inspection, the elders put aside most of their worries." "After so many years, the facts have verified that the elders' original judgment was not wrong. Fire persimmon cannot impact our medicinal materials business." "Fire persimmon is indeed very versatile, but among the many medicinal materials in my medicinal field, I specialize in one and have always been well received by the public, so it is a better choice." "If Mr. Ning Zhuo doesn't believe it, you can collect intelligence and verify the market share of Fire Persimmon. You will know that what I say is true." Ning Zhuo smiled: "Of course I believe what Miss Lin said." "However, bartering is more than just fire persimmons." "It doesn't matter if your sect doesn't like this specialty product. There are endless red flame monsters in Fire Persimmon Mountain. Your sect always needs these monster materials, right?" Lin Shanshan nodded: "Indeed." "My sect is good at planting, refining alchemy and healing." "Among the alchemy materials, animal materials are purchased in large quantities from abroad all year round." "If your family can offer a price lower than the market price, then the probability of cooperation between you and me is very high." Ning Zhuo laughed loudly: "Since your sect requires our clan to lower the market price, why can't your sect lower the price of medicinal herbs?" Lin Shanshan said: "I can surrender."
"But it also depends on the scale of the transaction. If the scale is small, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reduce it to the satisfaction of Mr. Ru." "After all, the sale of medicinal materials involves the interests of many factions within the sect. Although my sect leader can act arbitrarily, he always puts pressure on others for such trivial matters, which is very harmful to the sect's style." "Master Ning Zhuo, do you want to listen to the advice I give you?" Ning Zhuo: "I know, Miss Lin wants me to imitate Li Jingqing?" Lin Shanshan: "Young master is indeed very smart, and he can understand everything at once." "As long as you win the top few caves, Master, according to the rules of my sect, you will get a huge discount on the price of medicine." "Through existing rules, it will not infringe on the interests of others, and it is also the most popular." "Forget it for others, but with Young Master's ability, it is very possible to win the top ten." Ning Zhuo nodded: "I came to your sect for advice this time because I want to use Xiao Zhengfeng to train my combat power." "Now, it involves discounts on drug prices, so we have to fight for a while." "Miss Lin, please give me more advice in the future. Especially martial arts..." Lin Shanshan nodded and winked at Ning Zhuo: "You and I are friends, aren't we? Since I have accepted your flowers, as a friend, I will not stand idly by." This eldest lady of Wanyao Sect is indeed well-educated. At the end of the negotiation, the cooperation from the sect and the family smoothly transitioned to personal friendship, which seemed very warm and greatly diluted the tense and unyielding atmosphere of the negotiation just now. The elder of the sect on the side pricked up his ears and grasped a certain "key point": "Flowers? What flowers? Ning Zhuo gave flowers to Shanshan? Shanshan accepted them?!" For a moment, a look of worry flashed in the sect elder's eyes. He looked at Ning Zhuo again. Seeing the tall and straight figure of the young man in white, the handsome face, the sincere expression, and the magnanimity, I gave a small praise in my heart. After thinking about it carefully, he looked at Lin Shanshan nervously. Seeing Lin Shanshan and Ning Zhuo smiling like flowers while talking, the elder's worries increased a lot, and he secretly decided to report this matter to the sect master.
