Chapter 44 On the Taoist Platform, Eighteen Death Fights It was another small gathering, and Luo Chen came to the stall early. This made Chen Laodao very surprised. “You started by refining that thing, didn’t you do it once a month?” “I’ve been short of spiritual stone flowers recently, so I’ll sell a batch first.” Luo Chen said calmly and placed the two elixirs on the stone slab. Looking around, he was a little confused. “Where is Wang Yuan?” "No way, don't you know about that?" Chen Laodao looked exaggerated. Luo Chen was confused, should I know?
I am not a person who likes to listen to gossip. In the Tiantian Alchemy Room, most of the news from the outside comes from two people in society, Gu Caiyi and Bai Meiling. “There’s going to be a fight.” “You mean the Poshan Gang and the Dajiang Gang! Are you annoyed that you are still here after only half a day’s work two months ago?” Chen Laodao shook his head, "No, this time is different from before." After Chen Laodao's explanation, Luo Chen roughly understood the ins and outs. In other words, as long as you are willing to inquire, you will naturally know the current situation. The armistice two months ago was not really an armistice. That was just the Yuding Jiange who came forward and organized a peace talk between Mi Shuhua of the Poshan Gang and Wang Haichao of the Dajiang Gang. After all, if we continue like this, the outer city will be destroyed sooner or later. No matter the outer city or the inner city, it is the place where Yuding Jiange collects rent. Everyone was beaten to death, who did they turn to to collect the rent? But when it comes to channels in the mountains, the benefits are really too great. The two foundation-building monks will naturally not give up easily. However, the face of the Yuding Sword Pavilion cannot be denied. After all, he is the owner of Fangshi, and the representative behind it is the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. Hence, they decided on a method of fighting. Nine masters from each side competed in the Taoist forum of Yudingjian Pavilion, regardless of life or death. The level of combat personnel is limited to foundation building or below. If the Dajiang Gang loses, they will give up their business in the mountains and go back to run the Lancang River properly. In addition, they will have to give up a waterway to the Poshan Gang. If the Poshan Gang loses, it will be even simpler. From the several safe passages currently under control, five will be transferred to the Dajiang Gang.
The two months of truce were used by the two major gangs to mobilize experts. “I wonder why so many strange monks have come to the city recently, all masters invited by the two major gangs!” Luo Chen suddenly realized. Without stopping, he handed over several jade bottles to a repeat customer. After taking back the spirit stone, he saw Chen Xiuping shaking his head. “The two gangs are very important here, but when it comes to the entire Jade Cauldron Territory, they are not enough.” "Well" “It was the monks from the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion who specially released the news, so it attracted many people from other places.” Luo Chen blinked, why did Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion do this? Don’t they dislike these outsiders who cause trouble and are difficult to manage? But soon, Chen Laodao answered his doubts. “The six sects in the Far East all have their own strengths and areas of business.” Hehuan Sect has been doing business between men and women since ancient times and has been enduring for a long time. Shenfu Pavilion is engaged in the business of talisman and seal script. It is unique in the six realms along the line of talisman and seal script. The Yaowang Sect is making a lot of money from its business of elixirs and spiritual herbs. The Five Elements Divine Sect's spiritual planting and magic business is also booming. Tianfan City is engaged in the utensil formation business, and its Wanbao Building is unique among the six regions. What about the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect? Let these uninformed casual cultivators tell us, does the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect have any commendable business? The answer is, no! The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect is dominated by its combat prowess, and most of the sect members are swordsmen. Yes, sword cultivators are indeed very strong at the same level, but they are not engaged in production! Although the Sword Sect also has good sword-making skills, it is nothing compared to Tianfan City. Especially the swords forged by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect are mostly based on sword pills, which require full-time cultivation. General monks pursue a variety of fighting methods, but who wants to conquer the world with a sword. In comparison, general-purpose flying sword instruments are much more compatible. As for Alchemy, Talisman, and Formation, although the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has also dabbled in it, compared with other sects, it is even less able to take advantage of it. “Then as you say, all the monks of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect have gone to drink the northwest wind?” Luo Chen was still a little in disbelief.
“It’s not that bad, at least this area belongs to them.” Chen Laodao talked eloquently, and he knew these gossips very well. "For example, the Zhong Ding family, Lun Daotai, these are their businesses." Restaurant? Arena? How many spiritual stones can I earn from this? “Our monthly rent and stall fees are also their sources of income.” "In addition, there is another major source of income, that is, the Jade Cauldron Territory is closest to the Million Mountains. Most of the natural materials and treasures produced in the mountains are also purchased by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. Then, they sell these raw materials. To other sects in the Six Regions.” Luo Chen grinned, "But it still sounds a bit shabby!" He pointed to a few conspicuous buildings in the center of the city, "In that case, why don't the people of the Jian Sect drive the properties of other sects out of the Jade Cauldron Territory, and then do these businesses themselves?" No matter how **** the Sword Sect’s elixir seals are, they are definitely better than those of the Immortal Cultivation Clan and casual cultivators. With the sword in his hand, if they want to sell it, who would dare not to buy it? "How dare they!" Chen Laodao said quietly: "It was not the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect that conquered the Jade Cauldron Domain at the beginning. The other five major sects, including other large and small sects in the Jade Cauldron Domain now, also came out of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. " I understand, now I understand. If Yudingyu is compared to a company, Yudingjianzong can be counted as the largest shareholder and executive director. Other sects each have shares in it. However, the profits of this company are not evenly distributed. How much money you can get from it depends on your ability. Jianzong just has the convenience of playing home. I have to say that after Chen Laodao explained this, Luo Chen completely understood the current situation. The Taoist Forum itself is an important business of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. Now there is a gimmick of two gangs competing, and eighteen masters are invited to fight to the death. The value of this game must be maximized. So, they spread the news, and then they can make a lot of money just by collecting tickets. If you organize some other activities in the middle, such as auctions, you can make another profit. “Sure enough, there are no fools among the monks!” Luo Chen sighed with emotion. It seems to be a fight between two gangs, but as the mediator, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect makes the most money. And whether it is the Poshan Gang or the Dajiang Gang that wins, the things they finally get from the mountains will still be acquired first by the local Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion. Since the meat rots in the pot, it is better to blow out the aroma and attract more wild dogs that can be slaughtered. Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with Luo Chen at the fourth level of Qi Refining. No, it has something to do with it.
His good eldest brother Wang Yuan is the top player of the Poshan Gang in this battle. Hmm, the Poshan Gang has a double red stick! “Should I support Wang Yuan then?” (End of this chapter)
