In addition to the general decline in medicinal materials, there are some significant changes in this Baicao Meeting: affected by the price of medicines, the price of pills below two turns has also decreased. Its decline is even slightly lower than that of medicinal materials, and the following grade of the elixir is an example, which is only nearly one percent lower than last year.

The profits of alchemy have not decreased, but there are signs of more profiteering!

This point has been fully proved at the auction of pills in the evening: the auction bottom of all kinds of high-grade pills and top-grade pills has risen instead of falling, which has increased by nearly two percent on average compared with last year.

This time, Mu Wan brought a total of 30 bottles of the top-grade Cultivation Pill and the Huishen Pill, which were designated as the best pills by the appraisal team composed of five real people, and the total income was doubled compared to last year!

She thought it was strange - it stands to reason that the cost had plummeted, and the price of the pill should also be greatly reduced.

Chang Long also said: "Could it be that the converter alchemy method has not spread outside?" ”

Xiangxiang and the night looked at each other and decided to take a good look at the venue.

By the end of the night's auction, they had taken the reason out of the mouths of the attendees. After returning to the space, the two explained their reasons.

It turned out that in the past, Taiyi had an agreement with western pharmaceutical companies, and in the annual transaction of medicinal materials, there were forty percent of medicinal materials, and Taiyi could only exchange all kinds of pills for purchase. The redemption price is basically the auction reserve price here.

However, since last year, Taiyizong has completely severed ties with the Northwest Pharmaceutical Merchants Alliance. The northwest is the medicine production area of Donghuazhou, however, Dandao is far inferior to Taiyi Aoki Peak, and the low-quality Dan below the second turn is okay, and it can barely be self-sufficient, but. The Dan of more than three turns, as well as the high-quality Dan, rely heavily on the supply of Taiyi Sect - in fact, compared to other regions, the Dan Dao tradition in the northwest is quite acceptable.

As a result, there are many more medicinal materials on the market, but all kinds of pills are in short supply.

After finishing speaking, Xiangxiang said with hatred: "You deserve it!" Who told them to have been reaping the benefits of the Taiyi Sect, but one by one they were making trouble behind their backs, wanting to destroy the Taiyi Sect. ”

At that time, Donghua was in the martial arts competition. Guangcheng Lao Zu personally led the team to the battle. Just destroyed the first evil and the other three masterminds. The families and sects that are directly involved only demand that the leader commit suicide, "which will not cause disaster to his wife and children". For more wait-and-see people who do not report and deliberately conceal it. Taiyizong announced in public that he would break off relations with him. From now on. Taiyi Sect also opened the outer gate array. rectified internal affairs, and gradually fell into the name of "hidden sect" outside.

Now, the consequences of those years are becoming apparent.

According to the information they came back from inquiring: these two years. The days of pharmacists in the Northwest are very polarized. Small and medium-sized pharmacists have gone bankrupt. They either sold their medicine fields cheaply and defected to various cultivation sects, or they were forced to change careers and find another way to make a living. Big medicine merchants have a thick foundation, and they usually have their own alchemists. While they took the opportunity to suppress small and medium-sized medicine dealers, big fish ate small fish, and snatched medicine fields, they raised the price of pills and made a lot of money, which was wider than before. The price of pills has risen, which has harmed the cultivators. Not only in the northwest, but now the whole of East China is full of complaints.

Chang Long analyzed: "I estimate that the sect is cold, and secondly, it is concentrated on manpower and material resources to do very important things, and it can't take care of so much. ”

The night snorted softly: "Even if you can take care of it, you can't take care of it." The sect is not their father, nor their mother, nor does it owe them anything, why should they care about these white-eyed wolves? I didn't tell them about the converter alchemy. ”

Xiangxiang looked at Mu Wan: "Sister, will you teach those people outside to alchemy?" ”

Mu Wan shook her head quickly: "My Dan Dao originates from Guangyuan Old Ancestor, but it is not a formal teacher's inheritance, so I can't teach anyone to do alchemy." Otherwise, it is an enemy of the ancestor and an enemy of Aoki Peak. "Well, these are all face-to-face words. How can there be so many absolutes in the world? If she really wants to teach people alchemy, she has a way to teach it. As a matter of fact...... She has never been a gentleman like Chang Long, and her heart eyes are not much bigger than the night and the fragrance. Hehe, she agrees with them. However, in order to take care of Chang's feelings, she did not bluntly say "deserved".

The little girl's heart is positive. When Chang Long heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - to repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. Nor is a gentleman made of mud. What's more, even if it is a clay figure, it has three points of earthiness.

The second and third days of small transactions were even more deserted. Basically, you can't see any decent natural treasures. So, on the morning of the third day, the four of them left the Valley of Gold and Silver.

As soon as he came out of the valley, he smiled and said, "There are a lot more robbers this year than last year." ”

Xiangxiang snorted coldly, and all the coercion was released. The surrounding suppers immediately settled down.

Mu Wan sacrificed auspicious clouds, a group of four people, and left.

Back at Guanyunling, Mu Wan reported the situation of the Baicao Society to Qingyuan Zhenren. The latter smiled lightly: "It's only been a few years...... Well, it's not peaceful outside, so you won't go down the mountain in the future and concentrate on your cultivation. ”

"Yes." Mu Wan thought for a while and asked, "Master, in the future, will the sect still organize the trial of the disciples of the inner gate and the foundation?" In the blink of an eye, she had been in the sect for more than ten years. It seems that the year after tomorrow will be a great trial of the inner door once in 20 years.

Qingyuan Zhenren pinched his fingers and exclaimed: "Ah, the year after tomorrow will be the year of trials!" Sighing, "The mountains don't know the years", she smiled, "This is a tradition of the sect for thousands of years, and it is all cooked, so it is generally started to prepare half a year in advance, and now, I'm afraid this matter has not been put on the agenda." ”

In other words, no one cares about it yet.

Mu Wan shrugged and offered to retreat. If there were no accidents, she would retreat the day before the sword training camp next month - the situation outside was getting more and more severe, and it was only a matter of time before chaos broke out. In this world where the law of the jungle eats the strong, how long can the sect protect everyone? She can only seize the time and practice hard.

"Okay." Qingyuan Zhenren nodded with satisfaction. The stall of "Taiyi News" is too big. The little apprentice was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. Now she offered to retreat, which played into her hands. In fact, she didn't say everything to Team Seventh that day: like-minded partners, extensive contacts, and strong financial resources can indeed make Xiuzhen's life better, but that's all. For cultivators, no matter when and where, it is important to improve one's cultivation. Because only when cultivation is reached, can it soar naturally and achieve positive results. That's what she's always been like. The little apprentice was not blinded by the vanity brought by "Taiyi News", and did not forget her heart, as a teacher, she was really gratified.

Coming out of the cave, Mu Wan saw Gu Bai.

He sat under the porch. Seeing her, he jumped up with a smile: "Sister Mu, I heard Sister Xiangxiang say that you are back, so, come and have a look." ”

Xiangxiang and the three of them were not Qingyuan Zhenren's apprentices, so they didn't need to report to her, so after returning to Guanyunling, the four of them dispersed.

"Well, just came back." Mu Wan smiled. The little guy is still worried about whether Baicao will be fun or not.

Gu Bai said: "Sister Mu, in the past few days, the camellia king in the tea garden has bloomed, go over and take a look?" ”

Thinking that he was going to retreat and would not take some time out to accompany the little guy every day as before, Mu Wan nodded and responded, "Okay, you can take me to have a look." ”

"yes." Gu Bai cheered.

The two walked in the direction of the tea plantation. Along the way, Mu Wan told him some about the Baicao Society. For example, at the auction, how do people bid for the auction; When you see the treasure, how do you bargain with the seller......

These are things that you don't have in the Misty Forest. Gu Bai listened with relish.

Mu Wan sighed in her heart: Poor guy, I don't know that I won't be able to go down the mountain until the Year of the Monkey.

Then the retreat.

More than three months later, the night finally made a major breakthrough in the Shadow Stone - the connection between the Mother Stone and the Mother Stone could penetrate the storage bag and space. But that's about it. He himself said that due to the constraints of the material, it was almost impossible to make the Shadow Stone pass through the interface.

When Mu Wan heard this, she was a little moved: "If you find the right material, can you make a shadow stone that passes through the interface?" ”

The dark night looked up at the blue sky, and said with great longing: "After I ascend, I will definitely be able to make such a shadow stone." ”

Xiangxiang "fluttered" and smiled.

The mother stone was moved into the space in the dark night and placed in the flower garden in the courtyard.

In this way, the four of them can also contact Tang Shao and others as usual in the space to deal with the relevant situation of "Taiyi News".

Therefore, in addition to participating in the training camp, Mu Wan almost always practiced penance in the space.

A year later, Qingyuan Zhenren told her that next year's inner door trial was canceled.

This is to be expected. There is "Taiyi News", although Mu Wan does not leave the house, she knows the scene outside very well.

Donghuazhou began to be in turmoil. The first to fall into chaos was the Northwest Pharmaceutical Merchants Alliance. At the beginning of the year, the alliance issued a decision: in order to stop the price of low-grade medicinal materials, the production of nearly 100 flavored medicines such as andrographis will be limited in the alliance. If a pharmaceutical company wants to sell these medicinal materials, it must first apply for a share in the alliance, and then sell these medicinal materials within the share, and no one can exceed the quota. Otherwise, the alliance will cancel its pharmacist qualification.

As a result, as soon as this decision came out, many pharmacists quit and said that the alliance had long been controlled by the three major pharmacists, and the so-called maintenance of the price of medicinal materials was fake, and it was true to use it for public and private purposes, excluding dissent.

The situation became more and more serious, and two months later, many pharmaceutical companies announced their withdrawal from the alliance.

Of course, the alliance did not do it, and sent people to destroy the medicine fields in the names of these pharmaceutical companies -- this is the usual method of the alliance. If you want to be in the northwest, if you don't join the Pharmaceutical Merchants Alliance, don't think about the stability of the medicine field.

Who knows, these pharmacists are fully prepared, and secretly recruited a lot of loose cultivators.

As a result, the northwest side became a mess, and in three days and two days, there would be a fight. In September, the Baicao Club was also officially closed.

The northwest is the main production area of medicinal materials in Donghuazhou. There is a mess there, and the medicinal herbs are tight. Soon, it spread to the medicinal herb market all over the world. There is a shortage of pills, and the price has soared. And the elixir is an indispensable cultivation resource for the monks. In this world of fists, the monks decisively chose to snatch the elixir from their peers who were weaker than themselves.

Therefore, outside now, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, and everyone is in danger.

Under such circumstances, it is certainly expected that the sect will cancel the inner gate trial.
