Thousand Grain Sect's Qian True Person's expression is seriously thinking about Zheng Fa's words.

Thousand Grain Sect is also a member of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, but it is far inferior to the Nine Mountains Sect--Nine Mountains Sect has three members, Nascent Soul True Person, which is the largest sect in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

And the strongest Thousand Grain Sect is Golden Core.

So their Marketplace was not as popular as Nine Mountains Sect before.

The cost of Jieyin Ship is actually not small for the Thousand Grain Sect Marketplace - if, as Zheng Fa said, Nine Mountains Sect has sucked away all the surrounding passenger flow, then Jieyin Ship is indeed not worth the gain.

But Thousand Grain Sect is not without its own characteristics.

They have great experience in planting Spirit Grain, especially Yellow Sprout Rice, which is somewhat famous in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

"Then how do we sell Spirit Grain from our Thousand Grain Sect to the Nine Mountains Sect?" Qian True Person thought about it for a while, but did not appear particularly happy. Of course he knew that Zheng Fa came to him specifically and must have some requirements.

"Qian True Person, I represent Nine Mountains Sect Market and want to cooperate with Guizong." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "How to sell it, of course, depends on Guizong's choice."

"First, of course, you need to rent a storefront yourself and sell it in our Marketplace--this requires you to be responsible for your own profits and losses."

"Zheng True Person, you don't know how difficult it is to rent the front of your sect..." Qian True Person said with a bitter smile.

Of course Zheng Fa knows.

Since Nine Mountains Sect Market slowly became popular.

Marketplace's rent hasn't started to rise yet.

Transfer fees have skyrocketed.

Thousand Grain Sect If you want to find a store, it will cost a lot.

In addition, it's not like Marketplace doesn't sell Spirit Grain – renting a store is too risky for the Thousand Grain Sect.

This option Zheng Fa is just talk.

"Second, we, Marketplace, are cooperating with you. We purchase your Thousand Grain Sect's Yellow Sprout Rice. You only need to take care of the planting... You don't have to worry about any store or profit or loss."

"..." Qian True Person gradually understood what Zheng Fa meant. "We only need to supply goods to the Nine Mountains Sect in the future?"

"Yes."

"What's the price?"

"One Spirit Stone three stones."

"No!" Qian True Person's lips trembled. "Our own Marketplace only has this price!"

"Isn't that right? Your Marketplace has no business?" Zheng Fa said in a low voice.

"..." Qian True Person became even more angry when he heard this.

Of course this is the truth, Zheng Fa picked people up one after another.

Thousand Grain Sect's own disciples all come to the Nine Mountains Sect for shopping.

Then what business does Marketplace of the Thousand Grain Sect have?

"No need to discuss?" Zheng Fa said looking at his angry look.

"Not at all!"

Qian True Person flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.

"At least three hundred stones a month."

Qian True Person's footsteps stopped abruptly.

"At least... three hundred stones?"

"Just a little more."

Qian True Person's expression became tangled.

Three hundred stones is probably almost one hundred yuan Spirit Stone.

This money is not too little for Nine Mountains Sect Market.

What's more, it is even more difficult for the Thousand Grain Sect, especially today's Thousand Grain Sect.

Otherwise Qian True Person wouldn't think of coming here to steal his master.

"Zheng True Person... This price is too low."

"Qian True Person." There was no doubt on Zheng Fa's face. "Hundred Immortals Alliance Thousand Grain Sect's family is not the only one who can grow Spirit Grain. I can also find other families."

"Don't!" Qian True Person said quickly, "It can be discussed. I will go back and report to Sect Leader. It can definitely be discussed!"

When Qian True Person left, there was a mixture of sadness and joy on his face - it seemed that he didn't know whether Sect Leader would scold himself or praise himself for bringing such a big order back.

But both Zheng Fa and he knew that Thousand Grain Sect would definitely agree.

Nine Mountains Sect has almost sucked up the nearby passenger flow.

If Thousand Grain Sect wants to avoid losing money, it can only be the supplier of the Nine Mountains Sect.

Although I made a little less, I made small profits but quick turnover.

Looking at his back, Senior Sister Yuan turned to Zheng Fa and asked, "Junior Brother Zheng, why do you insist on ordering Yellow Sprout Rice from them?"

There were several senior brothers in the small building, all looking at Zheng Fa with confusion in their eyes.

"The products in our market are too single. We must have more and more attractive goods." Zheng Fa explained, "Besides, didn't Senior Sister Yuan say that yellow sprout rice is delicious?"

Senior Sister Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Yellow Sprout Rice, Senior Sister Yuan is indeed carefully selected, Zheng Fa also feels good after eating it.

"But isn't three hundred stones a bit much? What should I do if I can't sell it?"

Senior Sister Yuan Still a little worried.

"Senior Sister Yuan, have you calculated how much Spirit Grain our Nine Mountains Sect consumes in a month?"

"Huh?"

"We Nine Mountains Sect don't count the disciple's family members, there are almost more than a thousand people." Zheng Fa calculated. "A disciple consumes about five or six taels of Spirit Grain a day, which is one-fifth of a stone a month, and at least more than two hundred stones a month. If we include those relatives, three hundred stones will definitely be less."

According to the Xuanwei Realm's algorithm, one stone is about nine hundred taels, which is the consumption of the Nine Mountains Sect's disciples. These three hundred stones are almost finished.

"You mean... these Spirit Grain were bought for the disciples?"

"Senior Sister Yuan, I wonder if you have noticed that the price of our Marketplace's Spirit Grain has increased." Zheng Fa said softly.

"This... seems a bit..." As a Golden Core monk, Senior Sister Yuan is not that sensitive to this. She thought about it carefully for a while before frowning and saying, "These profiteers!"

"It's not necessarily that they did it deliberately." Zheng Fa shook his head. "During this period, everyone made money, not just Spirit Grain, the prices of other things are also rising."

To put it more exaggeratedly, this means that Nine Mountains Sect has a little bit of small-scale inflation.

This isn't a bad thing either.

After all, this is because Nine Mountains Sect disciples are richer than before.

"I think that not everyone is rich. Some disciples, especially new disciples, can't make any money at all and just rely on monthly subsidies." Zheng Fa explained to these people, "These affordable Yellow Sprout Rice are exactly what they need."

Zheng Fa ordered Yellow Sprout Rice from the Thousand Grain Sect, of course, in order to consolidate Nine Mountains Sect's current advantages - the mall has a lot of people, and of course it needs some top products, otherwise you will only have a few magic charms to buy.

It's really a waste of the drama created by Zheng Fa.

But the main reason was because he saw that some disciples at the bottom were not rich because of the development of the Nine Mountains Sect.

On the contrary, life became even more difficult.

In this round of development of Jiushan Sect, those who became rich were the big families behind the shops and the vendors with some connections and capital.

But the poorest group of people basically do not enjoy many benefits.

Instead, they have to bear the increase in prices.

After all, this is the Zheng Fa version of the "vegetable basket" project.

Inside the room, the eyes of these senior brothers looking at him gradually changed, and they seemed to be somewhat resentful.

"Brothers, why do you look at me like this?"

"... Junior brother, you were born so late!" A senior brother named Yang suddenly sighed.

"?"

At Zheng Fa's house, he was sitting on the futon, preparing to condense his fifth Origin Talisman.

This time, what he wants to condense is the Yin Fire element Origin Talisman--Rosy-Cloud Talisman.

Fire element Origin Talisman is mostly aggressive.

But Zheng Fa is not needed much now.

But Rosy-Cloud Talisman suits him very well - this talisman can turn the monk into a ray of light and fly through the air, which is convenient for traveling in modern times.

After all, modern times still have radars and so on. If it were to fly in other ways, it might be regarded as a UFO.

It would be much better to have the cover of the glow.

Now, he is quite familiar with condensation Origin Talisman. After swallowing Origin-Consolidating Pill, Rosy-Cloud Talisman appeared in his body Dantian in less than a stick of incense.

What surprised him was that after the Rosy-Cloud Talisman was formed, the five negative Origin Talismans merged into one and slowly started to rotate in his Dantian.

A golden lotus platform appeared in his Dantian, with Upright Shadowless Talisman, Frost Blade Talisman, Nourishing Spirit Talisman, Evergreen Talisman and Rosy-Cloud Talisman painted on the lotus petals.

But what caught Zheng Fa's attention the most was the shadow of a lotus platform growing at the bottom of the lotus platform - although there were only some illusory golden lines, the shapes of the rosette and lotus petals were also very obvious.

He couldn't help but think of the yin and yang that Senior Sister Zhang told him.

Just when he Divine Sense was immersed in Dantian, streaks of five-colored glow suddenly fell from the sky above his yard.

The rays of light surrounded the quiet room where Zheng Fa practiced, making all the monks living nearby look sideways.

"Junior Brother Han, what is this?"

Senior Brother Li asked Han Qi.

Today is the day that Han Qi is going to introduce him to Zheng Fa.

"It's okay. It should be that Junior Brother Zheng's cultivation has improved again."

Han Qi said, with a somewhat proud look on his face. "Although Junior Brother Zheng is Dual-Spirit Root, I heard that his current progress rate is the first among their new disciples, not inferior to Single-Spirit Root."

Senior Brother Li nodded, but his expression became even more uneasy.

Zheng Fa is a genius.

The more he worried about whether Zheng Fa could take a liking to him.

The cold shoulder he had received at the Nine Mountains Sect for so many years had almost made him lose his confidence.

Han Qi looked at his expression and probably knew what he was thinking, and suddenly asked, "Senior brother, did you buy a new set of clothes today?"

Senior Brother Li smiled a little shyly and said, "Today there is a particularly cheap Yellow Sprout Rice in Marketplace. I have some money left, so I want to dress decently, lest Junior Brother Zheng thinks I am disrespectful..."

"Then Yellow Sprout Rice is what Junior Brother Zheng bought specifically for us disciples to eat."

"Ah?"

Han Qi smiled at Senior Brother Li and said, "I don't know whether Junior Brother Zheng will fall in love with Talisman Seals, but Senior Brother Li, Junior Brother Zheng is not someone who looks down on us."

Senior Brother Li took a look at his new clothes, was silent for a while, and finally smiled, with more peace of mind on his face.

"Junior brother Zheng, this is Li Nuo Senior Brother Li."

Han Qi brought Senior Brother Li to Zheng Fa and introduced him.

"Senior Brother Li, nice to meet you."

Zheng Fa saw Senior Brother Li who looked a little unnatural, and took the initiative to salute.

Senior Brother Li was stunned, and threw his hands towards Zheng Fa in panic. It seemed that no one had spoken to him like this for a long time.

"Senior Brother Han, you invited Senior Brother Li here because..."

Han Qi looked at Senior Brother Li and said, "Senior Brother Li should speak for himself."

"I... I would like to ask Junior Brother Zheng to lend me some Spirit Stone." Senior Brother Li was silent for a long time and then said.

Borrowing money?

Zheng Fa blinked and glanced at Han Qi in confusion - Is this person a relative of his family?

"..." Han Qi was also speechless. "Junior Brother Zheng Mingjian, Senior Brother Li he borrowed money not for himself, but for research."

"Research?"

Zheng Fa finally became interested. Nine Mountains Sect Not many people like to study.

Looking at Senior Brother Li, who was a little confused, Zheng Fa asked, "What are you studying?"

"Talisman Seals."

Senior Brother Li took out a blood-colored square from his arms, with the pattern of Golden Armor Talisman engraved on it.

"Talisman Seals?"

Is this rune printing?

Zheng Fa took the cube and looked at Senior Brother Li with a faint gleam in his eyes. "Is this the one?"

"Only this one succeeds, the others... will explode."

Zheng Fa's hand shook, didn't you tell me earlier?

Li Nuo said sadly, "My father was accidentally killed because he was studying Talisman Seals."

"...Senior Brother Li, do you have any words?"

"The small print is Shicheng." Li Nuo replied in a daze.

Fortunately, it is not the word Bell.
