Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Call for Help
The Millelith Alliance, which is composed of the major forces in Zhenshu, can be regarded as the largest business organization in Zhenshu.
The rapid rise of the Yuxiu Chamber of Commerce naturally attracted the attention of the Millelith Alliance.
A normal business organization has traces of where to buy goods and where to sell them. However, the biggest problem of the Yuxiu Chamber of Commerce is that their cargo throughput is extremely large, and the flow of goods is not clear.
The speculation of the outside world is that there is another backer behind the Yuxiu Chamber of Commerce, otherwise a mere Yuxiu Sect with only a few foundation building monks is not enough to support such a rapid development of the Chamber of Commerce.
When the Chamber of Commerce was formed, Zhu Youdao was in retreat and cultivating, and he did not give advice to his two younger sisters on this issue, so he curiously asked Zhu Youqing how he solved this problem.
Zhu Youqing said proudly: "What's this, since the outside world speculates that this chamber of commerce has another backer, I will deliberately guide them to guess who is my backer! When I formed the chamber of commerce, I had a detailed understanding of the pattern of various places in the Yushou realm.
I found that Haizhou in the east is dominated by the demon clan, and several demon kings have been fighting and conquering all year round, and it is chaotic.
So Youwei and I teamed up to open up a trade route to Haizhou, and every once in a while we would transport a batch of supplies to cover people's eyes. In such a chaotic place in Haizhou, it is impossible to find out the flow of our goods, let alone imagine that our goods will eventually flow out of Yushoujie!
Outsiders began to speculate that we had something to do with a certain demon king in Haizhou, and before we figured out who our backer was, the Millelith Alliance would not dare to act rashly against us!"
Zhu Youdao nodded again and again after hearing this, I have to say that Zhu Youqing's move is very clever, the virtual is real, and the real is false.
He thought for a moment and said: "This kind of method can only be concealed for a while, for a long time, especially after having a competitive relationship with the Millelith Alliance, if we don't show real strength, they may do something!"
I brought the White Dragon King's demon military order this time, and there is a flying fish guard temporarily sent by the White Dragon King to my side! This flying fish guard is a fourth-order demon equivalent to the early stage of the Yuan Infant, which is enough to make the Thousand Rock Alliance jealous! You report to Fang City in advance, and say that a demon king has sent a messenger to come here to participate in the auction and buy some spiritual objects! In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, notify the Thousand Rock Alliance in advance through this chamber of commerce! When the time comes, I will let the Flying Fish Guards show their faces, and let them know that we also have the equivalent of the Yuanying Monk behind us, and we will be able to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles in the future!"
Zhu Youqing hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Zhu Youdao said: "There is one more thing, two years later, I will assist the White Dragon King to hold a large-scale auction on Shenlong Island, and I need a group of people to assist, you notify Youwei to select a group of reliable people from the Shenxiu Sect to come over and train with the people of your Chamber of Commerce." During the Millelith Auction, you have to keep a full record of how the auction works, let's learn from the experience, and then transfer this set of experience to the Shenlong Island Auction!"
......
Even in the Vermilion Bird Realm, no force on any side would dare to despise a demon king, especially in the Yushou Realm.
When Zhu Youqing conveyed that the Demon King would send a fourth-order demon to participate in the auction, the Thousand Rock Alliance paid enough attention to it, saying that as long as the Demon King's envoy was willing to abide by the rules, the alliance would treat each other with courtesy!
Because of the tiger skin banner of the fourth-order demon, Zhu Youdao got the list of auction items from the Thousand Rock Alliance in advance.
If it had been before, Zhu Youdao would definitely rack his brains to consider which precious spiritual objects to take, and how much he was willing to pay for it.
But after seeing the collection of the Rat King, looking at this long list, Zhu Youdao felt a little boring!
Flipping through the list of auction items, Zhu Youdao suddenly sighed!
"The cocoon of the fire-thread silkworm! This is a good thing, and it can't be missed!"
The reason why Zhu Youdao started to encourage the White Dragon King to hold an auction was because of the lack of the best fire-based spiritual materials for Xie Xiaohong to refine magic weapons.
He originally thought that he would only be able to find a suitable spiritual object at a large auction in the Vermilion Bird Realm, but he didn't expect to have a harvest here.
The fire silkworm is a very rare fire-based spirit worm, and the silk extracted from its cocoon is the best material for Xie Xiaohong to refine magic weapons!
In addition, although there are many good things in the list, none of them are what Zhu Youdao urgently needs.
He picked up a few items that might be used in the future, as well as items that were more expensive in the Vermilion Bird Realm, and marked them, and handed the list to Zhu Youqing and asked her to take pictures as appropriate.
A few days later, Zhu Youdao was cultivating at the Chamber of Commerce's residency when he suddenly received a teleportation spirit rune.
The summons was sent by Kang Qun, the big shopkeeper of Yuxiu Pavilion, saying that someone asked to see Zhu Youdao and was unwilling to leave in the store.
Zhu Youdao was a little puzzled, he couldn't think of anyone in the Yushou Realm who would come to Yuxiu Pavilion to find him.
Having nothing to do at the moment, he decided to check it out. Zhu Youdao came to Yuxiu Pavilion, went directly to the second floor, and entered a reception room.
I saw an old man with a white beard waiting anxiously inside.
Seeing Zhu Youdao, the old man knelt down in front of Zhu Youdao: "Senior Zhu, please save my grandson!"
Zhu Youdao thought for a while before remembering that he had seen this person.
More than ten years ago, a medium-sized auction was held in the city of Millelith, when this old man came with an ancestral treasure to participate in the auction, but was kicked out by the people of the Millelith Alliance.
I was not angry here, and I took the baby to sell it everywhere in the market, but I ran into walls everywhere.
Until this person entered Yuxiu Pavilion, Zhu Youdao told him that this was a "dead magic weapon" and had no value!
At that time, the old man was extremely disappointed, and inadvertently revealed that his grandson had a thunder spirit root. Zhu Youdao proposed to accept his grandson as an apprentice at that time, but the old man did not agree at that time, and never returned afterwards, obviously refusing.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, this old man came over again, and he opened his mouth to ask him for help!
Zhu Youdao pulled the old man up: "Daoist friends, let's get up and talk! We Yuxiu Pavilion only do business, not do good deeds! Although you and I have had a relationship, we haven't even informed each other of our names, and if you come up and let me save my life, I don't dare to agree!"
Seeing that the old man knelt down and begged again, Zhu Youdao was a little impatient: "Daoist friends should get up and make the words clear, otherwise I will leave!"
Only then did the old man get up and said, "Senior Zhu, please save my grandson! As long as you save him, I will let my grandson worship you as a teacher, he is a thunder and wood double spirit root, and he is very talented, he will definitely be a good apprentice!"
Zhu Youdao shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, accepting apprentices pays attention to chance, your grandson's talent is good, but when I proposed to accept him as an apprentice, you didn't agree!
"Senior, the little old man has figured it out, and he is willing to let his grandson worship you as a teacher, please save him!"
Zhu Youdao still shook his head: "Isn't it child's play to accept an apprentice! Back then, your grandson was just a teenager-year-old child, and he was very malleable, so I was willing to accept him as an apprentice! Now more than ten years have passed, he is already an adult, and I don't know what his character is, maybe the disciple I have worked so hard to cultivate is a white-eyed wolf who betrays his master, what use does such a disciple want him? Daoyou, please go back!"
The old man still pleaded bitterly, unwilling to get up. Zhu Youdao was impatient, and he got up and was about to leave.
But I heard the old man suddenly say: "Senior, as long as you can save my grandson, the little old man is willing to give him a magic weapon!"
Zhu Youdao sneered: "Daoist friends, don't use that dead magic weapon to bluff me! Although Zhu never deceives customers when he opens a store, he can't be deceived by customers!"
The old man hurriedly shook his head: "Don't dare, don't dare! It's not the dead magic weapon, but a real magic weapon, this is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation, and there will never be a mistake!"
Zhu Youdao sat down again: "In this case, this is a deal! You first make it clear what danger Ling Sun has encountered, if Zhu has the ability to save people, you can tell me whether that magic weapon is worth it." If Zhu doesn't have the ability to save people, then this business can only end here!"
