272: Chapter 272 New Sales Channels

Several days later, a piece of news spread across the four countries.

Inside a teahouse in Cang Prefecture City, several Cultivators and their friends were gathered around tables eating.

"Have you all heard about what happened some time ago?"

"What happened?" Someone was relatively uninformed and didn't know yet.

"Sigh, Brother Zhuo, now the entire Yan Country and the other few countries have all spread the word. A few days ago, the Palace Master of Biluo Palace led several Golden Core Masters of Yan Country to head to the Zilong Sect."

"For unknown reasons, the Palace Master of Biluo Palace attacked and injured Master Zilong. Although Master Zilong managed to escape in the end, fortunately, the opponent's Thunder Flood Dragon was killed."

Another person spoke, and when mentioning how the Palace Master of Biluo Palace defeated Master Zilong and killed the Thunder Flood Dragon, a gratifying expression appeared on his face.

Back in the day, his father had died at the hands of the Zilong Sect and those few factions of the State of Wei.

For so many years, relying on his father's merits, he exchanged for a foundation establishment pill from the Yuxu Sect, and then successfully achieved Foundation Establishment a few years ago, becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Whenever he thought about himself becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he would think of his father's tragic death at the hands of the Zilong Sect back then.

"Is this true?" That Cultivator surnamed Zhuo was somewhat doubtful.

The few people sharing a table with him all nodded.

Another person continued, "Not only that, it is said that Master Zilong is also a Loose Devil Cultivator!"

"A Devil Cultivator?" The rest were somewhat shocked; this point was something they did not know.

Presumably, someone must have deliberately concealed the news.

"Right, now several countries have gone crazy. Who would have thought that Master Zilong stole quite a few corpses to Cultivate, causing the three countries of Wei, Shu, and Han to not even find a reason to help. In the end, they could only let the territory of the Zilong Sect be reclaimed by us."

Just as they were conversing, at another table,

Chen Changchu picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, while listening to the conversations of Fellow Daoists at the surrounding tables.

"Fellow Daoist Chen?" Inside the teahouse, someone recognized Chen Changchu and her party.

Chen Lingyan and the others looked over, somewhat surprised.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Xie." Chen Changchu stood up and invited the other party to sit down.

The incoming person was precisely from the Xie Family, who had held the martial arts competition for marriage back then.

Among them, following behind the old man was Xie Lingyun. Ever since she arrived, she stared fixedly at Chen Lingyan, making Chen Lingyan look back at her somewhat embarrassedly.

As for Chen Lingwu, he patted Chen Lingyan on the side, then walked away alone, leaving the space to the two of them.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here." Xie Dexian smiled. Although both families were in Cang Prefecture City, Cang Prefecture City was not small, and the two families looked after businesses in their respective areas, seldom interacting.

However, this time he had come here specifically to run into Chen Changchu.

Chen Changchu naturally knew as well, but she did not expose it, instead exchanging polite pleasantries with him.

The two chatted for a full hour. Nearby, Xie Lingyun and Chen Lingyan were already somewhat impatient, though on the surface the two still maintained a peaceful state.

"Right, Fellow Daoist Chen, our Xie Family has something we need to trouble you with. Of course, the remuneration will definitely satisfy you." Xie Dexian finally spoke up.

Chen Changchu did not speak immediately, waiting to see what medicine the other party was selling in their gourd.

Interactions between the two families were neither much nor little, so she did not directly refuse either.

"To not hide it from Fellow Daoist Chen, our Xie Family excels at refining Puppets, and the Materials for Puppets require Yao Beasts. However, in recent years, Yao Beast Materials have become increasingly scarce, so our Xie Family hopes to acquire Yao Beast Materials from you," Xie Dexian explained.

"Your Chen Family controls Qinghe County, adjacent to the Wanshou Mountain Range, and the Yao Beast resources you possess are definitely not few."

"Of course, we are willing to purchase them at ten percent above market price."

Hearing this, Chen Changchu's heart stirred; purchasing at ten percent above the market price.

"I see. Fellow Daoist Xie, I understand. However, this still requires consulting the head of our Chen Family. After all, our Chen Family is not small, and we must also notify the side of Qinghe County."

"Rightly so." Xie Dexian nodded and expressed his thanks.

The two chatted for a bit longer before Xie Dexian left with Xie Lingyun.

Watching the two leave, Chen Lingyan finally let out a sigh, "They're finally gone."

"What? So scared of that lass?" Chen Changchu teased.

"No way, Thirty-first Aunt!" Chen Lingyan retorted.

"If you like the other party, we can actually make the decision for you. Presumably the Xie Family wouldn't dare refuse either." Chen Changchu's lips curved up as she continued.

"Let's forget about that! If I were to use the Family's influence to commit misdeeds, the Old Ancestor of the Family wouldn't let me off by then."

"Are you afraid of the Old Ancestor punishing you, or are you worried about that lass?"

"Uh, Thirty-first Aunt, please don't joke with your Junior." Chen Lingyan said as he slipped out of the teahouse.

In fact, over these years, Xie Lingyun had come looking for him several times, each time engaging him in combat under the name of sparring, only to be defeated by him every time.

Therefore, the relationship between the two was somewhat complicated.

But to say they liked each other, that was definitely out of the question.

Watching Chen Lingyan leave in a hurry, Chen Changchu didn't continue teasing, instead standing up to leave the teahouse and heading towards a certain place.

The Chen Family did not have too large an influence in Cang Prefecture City; at most, there was her as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator along with some Qi Refining Cultivators.

Of course, sometimes other people would also return, such as Chen Changyan. He was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, having achieved Foundation Establishment several years earlier than her.

Chen Changyan had always been training and gaining experience near Cang Prefecture, and by now he might have already Breakthrough to the second layer of Foundation Establishment.

...

Wuyue Mountain.

"You're saying that the Xie Family wants our Yao Beast Materials, and is willing to purchase them at a price ten percent higher than the market price?" Chen Changjie said calmly.

The voice transmission talisman in her hand was relaying what Chen Changchu on the other end was telling her about the previous transaction with the Xie Family.

"I see. Since the other party is willing to pay ten percent more, it's not impossible for us, especially since our Chen Family's business in Cang Prefecture City is relatively sparse." Chen Changjie nodded.

Although the Chen Family did not have nor the ability to prohibit other factions from heading to the Wanshou Mountain Range to hunt Yao Beasts, Qinghe County was controlled by the Chen Family after all, and no faction could acquire Yao Beast Materials more easily than the Chen Family.

Therefore, the Chen Family held a considerable amount of Yao Beast Materials in their hands, which were generally sold towards Taihe Prefecture and rarely sold to Cang Prefecture City.

Now that another Family in Cang Prefecture City was willing to buy, the Chen Family was naturally willing.

After all, having an extra source of income wasn't bad either.

Of course, some details still needed to be made clear; if they weren't made clear, who would be held responsible if something happened later?

Even if the Xie Family didn't dare to blame them, trust in them would also be greatly discounted.

If a Family's credit was not high, it would create great resistance to its own development.

Because nobody would trust you, naturally certain benefits wouldn't be shared with you.

In fact, as for why the Xie Family wanted to purchase from the Chen Family here, firstly, they valued the Chen Family's integrity, and secondly, they also wanted to take the opportunity to attach themselves to the Chen Family.

Otherwise, they could completely look for others to purchase from, because the Chen Family was not the only one in the entire Cang Prefecture that could enter and exit the Wanshou Mountain Range.
