The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Zhu Youdao mentioned Liu Changsong's matter: "Brother Liu, I heard that you have attacked the foundation once, are you prepared for the next foundation?"

Liu Changsong smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhu, I really don't hide it, if I have another Zhuji Dan, the foundation building should reach eighty percent." If I were the Zhou family, I would naturally be able to get support, but like me, I am waiting for a side branch of the Zhou family to build a foundation pill, not a thousand, but also eight hundred! If I want to build a foundation pill, the Zhou family has it, but I have to have a large amount of family contribution in exchange, my brother-in-law and I have contributed for many years, and we have exhausted it in the last foundation building, and if we want to exchange it again, I am afraid that my age will not be able to catch up!"

Zhou Ziping also sighed: "If I can work in this position for another ten years, I can also make enough contributions to Changsong, but Changsong is already eight out of sixty, and there is not enough time!"

Zhu Youdao hesitated for a moment before he said: "Two elder brothers, I have an opportunity here, maybe I can help Brother Liu, but this matter is a bit against the rules of the Zhou clan......"

Zhou Ziping and Liu Changsong's eyes lit up.

Liu Changsong urged: "Brother Zhu, please come and listen!"

Zhu Youdao casually laid a soundproof spell, and then lowered his voice and said: "Our Zhu family has also had some opportunities over the years, thanks to the blessing of your Zhou family, we exchanged two Zhuji Dan from the Vientiane Secret Realm, and I was able to build the foundation of my younger brother! A few years ago, some of my clansmen ventured to the Broken Dragon Mountain Range to collect medicine, and accidentally found a hidden grass, and my family lost several people, so I snatched the spirit grass out of the mouth of the demon beast......

Before Zhu Youdao finished speaking, Zhou and Liu understood what he meant: "Do you want us to find Zhou's alchemist and refine the Youhuan Grass into Zhuji Dan?"

Zhu Youdao nodded: "If I find the Zhou family alone, I can also exchange it for a Zhuji Dan, but then I won't be able to help Brother Liu." ”

The Vientiane Zhou clan has been like this for thousands of years, and outsiders only need to take a material for refining the Zhuji Dan to exchange it for a Zhuji Dan.

Now the Zhou family has a big business and many clansmen, and the family does not mention it, but only the side branches, which are intertwined within the family.

For something like exchanging Tsukidan, if it is an outsider, it is natural to ask for a material and exchange it for a pill.

But if this material is in the hands of family insiders, no one will be stupid enough to go through the procedure.

Just like Zhou Ziping in front of him, he is also a side branch of the Zhou family, and his branch also has Jindan elders, although there is no alchemist who can refine Zhuji Dan, but through the relationship, it is not difficult to ask the alchemist of the family to help refine a furnace in private.

Unless it is an alchemy rookie, the materials will be destroyed.

A normal skilled alchemist can use one to four Tsukidans with one ingredient.

One pill is enough, and more is earned.

Therefore, if Zhu Youdao handed over the materials to Zhou Ziping and Liu Changsong, he himself might not be able to take more Zhujidan, but he gave Liu Changsong the opportunity to get Zhujidan.

Liu Changsong glanced at his brother-in-law and saw that he nodded slightly, so he said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhu, you are the grace of recreation!

He raised his glass as he spoke.

Zhou Ziping also said: "Brother Zhu, I will also thank you for a glass of wine for Changsong!"

He took a drink as he spoke!

Zhou Ziping continued: "I, the patriarch of the side branch of the Zhou clan, have a good relationship with an alchemist of the Zhou family, so it is not a problem to ask him to help with alchemy. That alchemist's skills are very superb, in recent decades, the worst of refining the Zhuji Dan is two Cheng Dan, and if you are lucky, you can make three, or even four! I heard the patriarch say that the clansmen with good relations ask him to refine the Ji Dan, if the Dan becomes more than two, he will leave one as a reward; if the Dan becomes one, he does not want to be rewarded; if the Dan becomes two, he will collect 10,000 spirit stones as a hardship fee!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youdao said: "Let's be a villain first, then a gentleman, and talk about it in front." Our little family dares to work hard for Tsukidan! For the sake of this grass plant, our family has paid a lot of price, and I can't do without the one Tsukidan I guarantee!"

Zhou Ziping nodded: "This is natural, if it is Dancheng, it is Brother Zhu's yours! Dancheng is two, you are one, and Changsong is one." Our brother will take out another 20,000 spirit stones, 10,000 as the alchemist's remuneration, and 10,000 as a subsidy to you, Brother Zhu!"

Zhu Youdao hurriedly waved his hand: "My own brother, you don't need to ...... this"

Zhou Ziping insisted: "You must take 10,000 spirit stones, otherwise Chang Songping and I will lose your great bargain, in case the family finds out, wouldn't we have been bribed by you?"

Having said this, Zhu Youdao could only nod. He really wanted to bribe, because there were still things to ask the two of them for later. I didn't expect Zhou Zi to be so old-fashioned, so he blocked his words first.

Zhou Ziping continued: "If the pill becomes three, the alchemist's remuneration will be saved, and Brother Zhu, you will not change. If the Dan becomes four, Brother Zhu, you take two Zhuji Dan!"

Zhu Youdao raised his glass and said: "Brother Zhou is authentic, and the little brother is happy and convinced!"

Cooperation involving major interests can only be long-term if it is a win-win situation.

In this kind of cooperation, it is Zhu Youdao who takes the greatest risk.

If Zhou Ziping and Liu Changsong are dark-hearted, they don't admit it when they get the materials, or tell you that the alchemy failed, can you do the same with them?

Therefore, everyone would rather go directly to the door of the Zhou family in Vientiane City to exchange one for one, saving risks.

And Dancheng has the greatest chance of two and three, but for Zhu Youdao, if he cooperates with them, Dancheng two or three, he can only get one Zhuji Dan. There is also the risk of alchemy failure, so under normal circumstances, even if the relationship is close, outsiders are unwilling to cooperate with the children of the Zhou family and smuggle the way to alchemy.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Ziping insisted on giving Zhu Youdao additional benefits.

With this black-box deal, they had no interest in eating and drinking, so they took the grass from Zhu Youdao and hurriedly left.

Only Zhu Youdao was left on the wine table, and looking at the remaining half of the food, he bowed his head and ate again.

Zhu Youdao has an alchemist in the Yushou Realm, and refining the Zhuji Dan is no worse than the alchemist of the Zhou family.

But he chose to take out a grass plant for Zhou Ziping and Liu Changsong, for two purposes.

The first is to deepen the relationship with Zhou and Liu.

He planned to find the Fengzhou monks and make some war money, which was under the nose of the Zhou family, and these two people were the head snakes of Zhenjiang City, and it was easier to act with them under their care.

The second is to expose a little bit of the source of the Zhu family's Zhujidan. There are more and more Zhuji monks in the Zhu family, even if he has the ability to hide people in the Yu Shou Realm, sooner or later some of them will be exposed, and at that time, others, especially the people of the Zhou family in Vientiane, will consider where the Zhu's Zhuji Dan came from.

And before the opening of the Vientiane Secret Realm, and then there was this black-box transaction, which could dispel many of Zhou's suspicions.

Such a dark box transaction is not uncommon within the Zhou family, and it cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Zhou family's high-level leaders, for them, the children of the family who benefit the most are the children of the family, and they are too lazy to care.
