After the resource meeting of the Tianji Society, Shang Bai began to cultivate diligently again. Although the Tianji Society lacks resources, it has not yet reached the head www.biquge.info of Shang Bai. First of all, he obtained a lot of resources after entering the Qi cultivation period first, and secondly, as the boss of the Tianji Society, the resources in the society will also be inclined to him. After all, as the core of the Tianji Society, his cultivation progress was closely related to the status of the Society. If he was compared to others in cultivation, the entire Heavenly Machine Society would collapse. Therefore, ensuring that his normal cultivation is not disturbed is the core task of the Tianji Society. As for the task of going to Feixian City to talk about in-depth cooperation with several stores in Chu State, it was handed over to Ning Rong.

Three or four days later, Ning Rong returned from Flying Immortal City, bringing the news that there were three shops that were willing to cooperate with the Tianji Academy, but they all had their own conditions, and if they couldn't meet them, they didn't have to talk about it. Two of them asked Shang Bai to join their family, and obviously these two took a fancy to Shang Bai's personal potential, but Shang Bai vetoed it at the first time -- it was not easy to escape from the shadow of the wealth, and now he is planted again, isn't he sick? There is still the last one called Ye Chanfang, but it is a shop that has only been open for more than a year, and the cooperation method they proposed is to provide help by lending money to the Tianji Society, but they have to pay 30% interest every year, and the borrower is not the Tianji Society, but Shang Bai himself. They are also optimistic about the potential of Shangbai.

"They didn't just give us spirit stones or materials, or let us send someone to be their apprentice, working for four hours a day. Then they would provide our people with materials to practice - but those materials would be converted into spirit stones, and interest would be calculated from the time we used them. And the finished product we make is half as good as them. They make all the talismans and pills, and the scale is not small, and they can accept 200 of us. Ning Rong smiled bitterly, "What they mean is that we pay for their things, help them work, and then make half of what they make." Sell it to us, and they make a profit, and then we do it, and they divide it in half, and we have to pay that much interest at the end of the day. I think, it's too dark. ”

Shang Bai said with emotion: "Why else does Uncle Lu repeatedly emphasize the supremacy of resources? Who told them to have resources? We have nothing, and if we want to develop, we can only accept their conditions." And we have to thank them for giving us this opportunity. To be exploited, you still have to be qualified. ”

"That's right. Ning Rong said, "If it weren't for the boss, you are the senior brother of this year, no one would have given us this opportunity." This is already the most favorable condition we can get, and I don't know how many people will envy it. ”

Newcomers, especially those who are poor and white, are most afraid of not being exploited, but having no way to be exploited. Cultivation is a work of fighting for resources, and only with resources can there be a future. You want to give people a free part-time job, and others are afraid that you will waste materials. If you want to borrow from a loan shark, others have to worry that you can't afford it. In all fairness, it is already quite fortunate that the Tianji Society can find such a collaborator. If it weren't for the feeling of hometown, if it weren't for the golden signboard of the new senior brother of the outer sect of Shangbai Mixed Yuan Kendo and the first person in two thousand years, no merchant would dare to take this risk. You must know that the elimination rate of the outer gate of the mixed yuan kendo entering the inner door is more than ninety percent.

Although Ning Rong scolded Naye Zenfang's heart in his mouth, he was very excited in his heart. He felt a sense of accomplishment in being able to negotiate such an important cooperation.

Another very important thing for him to go out this time was to purchase a batch of materials, because they were not used for cultivation, the price was not high, and even a spirit stone was not worth it. He purchased a lot of saltpeter and sulfur, and filled the storage bags that Shang Bai had given him. This was Shang Bai's preparation to study the gun he saw in the world of his dreams. Although Shang Bai had doubts about the authenticity of those things in the dream world, but in this situation, he could only give it a try, what if it was feasible? He remembered the recipe of black powder, and knew a little bit about the principle of the musket--all by reading those time-traveling novels in that world. It's a bit ridiculous to want to rely on this knowledge to make a gun, but fortunately, there are still so many people in the Tianji Academy who are learning to refine weapons, and with the ideas he provides, it is really possible to build that kind of art.

The cooperation with Ye Zenfang must be finalized by Shang Bai in person, this is the other party's request, and Shang Bai can't refuse. Feixian City is only a dozen miles away from the mountain gate of the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, tie it to the Shenxing Talisman, and it won't take long to pass.

Yezenfang is located in the central area of Feixian City, although it is only a new store that has only been open for more than a year, the scale is not small, and it is one of the few in the entire Feixian City, otherwise it will not be able to eat the two hundred people of the Tianji Society. Facing the street is a shop, selling talisman pills and other cultivation supplies, behind the shop is the workshop, the area is relatively large, there are some monks working in it, or alchemy, or refining, or talismans.

Standing outside the gate of the Wild Zen Workshop, Shang Bai examined his appearance with the corner of his eye, and after making sure that he was very mature and handsome, he took a deep breath, and then showed a very standard smile on his face, and said to Ning Rong, who was accompanying him: "Fourth, you go and report to their shopkeeper, saying that my Tianji Society has come to visit." ”

This time, he is on behalf of the Tianji Society and the Yezenfang to finalize the strategic cooperation between the two sides in the next ten years, in order to show the importance of this cooperation, he not only brought the heads of the four major departments of the Tianji Society, but also brought more than a dozen key members of the society. Since Ning Rong had been in contact with Ye Chanfang before, he went to report it. As the president of the dignified Tianji Society, the new senior brother of the outer gate of the Mixed Yuan Kendo, and the strategic partner of the Wild Zen Workshop, he naturally wants to talk about the style, and he can't just go in casually, just wait outside the gate for the Wild Zen Workshop to come and greet him.

Not long after Ning Rong went in to report, a group of people came out inside, led by a young man who looked to be in his twenties. The young man smiled cutely, and before he went out of the door, he bowed to everyone: "I don't know that the senior brothers of the Tianji Society are here, and they have missed the distance, please forgive the sins, forgive the sins!"

Ning Rong introduced on both sides: "This is my senior brother Shang Bai, the president of the Tianji Society, and this is Lu Huanyang and Lu Da's shopkeeper of Yezen Fang. ”

Shang Bai had heard Ning Rong say that the person in charge of the Yezen Workshop was Lu Huanyang, a monk in the early stage of Jindan, and when he saw him personally come forward to greet him, he was very satisfied: "It seems that the Yezen Fang attaches great importance to our cooperation. He also bowed his hand to Lu Huanyang and said: "Shopkeeper Lu is serious, but the disdainful society has taken the liberty to visit this time, and there is a place to disturb your workshop, and I ask Shopkeeper Lu not to blame." ”

Lu Huanyang said with a smile: "The head of the business company is too polite, the head of the business company has been admired for a long time by the name of the first person in the two thousand years of mixed yuan kendo. Being able to take the time to come this time is enough to make the fangfang shine. The president of the trading company, please, please come in. ”

Shang Bai's visit was received by the highest scale of Yezenfang, which shows that Yezenfang attaches great importance to cooperation with Tianji Society. Lu Huanyang, who was an early Jindan cultivator, did not despise Shang Bai because of his age of fifteen or sixteen years old and his cultivation in the early stage of Qi cultivation, and completely regarded him as an equal object of cooperation, which made Shang Bai very satisfied.

It's not that he loves vanity, but the importance of his collaborators, which helps to establish his authority in the Tianji Academy, which is of great benefit to his future.

The talks between the two sides were held in the largest meeting room in Yezenfang, and a total of about 30 people from both sides attended, and the atmosphere was warm and solemn. Since the two sides had agreed on the terms of cooperation before, there was no verbal confrontation this time, and the exchange was very harmonious. After confirming those terms, the heads of both parties, Lv Huanyang and Shang Bai, signed the contract, announcing the official launch of the strategic cooperation between the two parties.

After signing, the people of the Wild Zen Workshop led the members of the Tianji Society to visit their various workshops. Shang Bai also wanted to follow to visit, but Lu Huanyang stopped him with a smile: "President Shang, I still have something to discuss with you, let's talk on the other side." ”

"I don't know what the shopkeeper Lu has to say?" Shang Bai couldn't refuse, so he had to follow Lu Huanyang into a secret room. Although he knew that Ye Zen Fang had no reason to be bad for him, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"It doesn't matter, just talk to you by the way. After closing the door, Lu Huanyang patted Shang Bai's shoulder and said, "Brother Shang Xian, foolish brother, I am a few years older than you, so I will call you a virtuous brother, and please don't be surprised." ”

"What are you talking about, Brother Lu? It is my honor to be your brother. Shang Bai said with a smile, but he muttered to himself in his heart: "What does this person want to do when he brought me to this small house and closed the door?"

There was a coffee table in the secret room, with two chairs, Lu Huanyang invited Shang Bai to sit down, sat on the other side, and said with a smile: "Since you and I are brothers, I will tell you a few words of sincerity as an elder brother." ”

Shang Baixin said, "Is this to confess?" Although he kept a smile on his face, he was a little stiff, and said, "If Brother Lu has anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." ”

"Actually, cooperating with your Tianji Society, I'm under a lot of pressure here. Although I am the shopkeeper here, there is still the owner above, and the owner is quite puzzled by this. Lu Huanyang rubbed his hands and said, "If you want to cooperate with Brother Xian, my boss still supports it." But this time, hundreds of people from the Tianji Academy were brought in, and in ten years, the spirit stones involved were more than one million, and if they failed, the loss would be too great, and the owner would not hesitate. ”

Millions of spirit stones sound like a lot, but if you calculate that there are eight hundred members of the Heavenly Machine Society, in ten years, on average, there are only more than one hundred spirit stones per person per year, and there are only about ten per month, which is really not much. The cooperation between the two sides is really implemented, and one million spirit stones may not be enough.

Shang Bai nodded: "I can understand this little brother." Your family can see the friendship of fellow villagers to draw a knife to help, little brother I am grateful. ”

"Hehe, the friendship of fellow villagers?" Lu Huanyang sneered, "It's not a foolish brother, I don't like what I say, in the cultivation realm, what kind of friendship is worth a million spirit stones? It was precisely because of my words that our owner agreed to cooperate with the Tianji Society. ”

Hearing this, Shang Bai hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you for your kind words, little brother must remember it." ”

"Since you and I are commensurate with each other and help each other, it is also a proper duty, you don't have to be so polite, virtuous brother. Lu Huanyang motioned for Shang Bai to sit down, pondered for a moment and said, "But I also have a reluctant request here, foolish brother, and I hope that you can cooperate." ”

Shang Bai's heart sank, and he secretly thought: "That's coming." But his face was silent, and he said with a smile: "What is the use of the eldest brother for the younger brother, but please say it bluntly, as long as the younger brother and I can cooperate, I will definitely cooperate." ”
