After Gao Hao paid his respects to True Person Mei, True Person Mei asked him a few simple questions. Then, Huo Min, who arrived from behind, discussed the upcoming cooperation with this young master Gao from Jade Wave Immortal Market.
Both parties have reached a general agreement on the matter, but many details need to be clarified one by one.
Huo Min transferred more than a dozen elites from the Jade Spring Sect Expenditure Hall overnight. They were all seasoned veterans and experts in the business world, and were most suitable for this kind of negotiation and agreement.
Gao Hao naturally brought his own people with him, and they negotiated the terms that had been prepared in advance, one by one.
The negotiations lasted for three full days.
The two sides engaged in a fierce verbal battle, and the scene was even more exciting than a real battlefield.
Chen Shuangbai only made an appearance on the first day and did not participate in the negotiations afterward. After all, he was not a member of the Expenditure Hall and was not very familiar with these trade details, so his presence would only be a hindrance.
Lin Jingtao and his fellow disciples, however, were quite interested and went to join in the fun.
The fact that the Jade Spring Sect was able to reach an agreement with the Jade Wave Immortal Market is actually a win-win situation for both sides.
There are very few sects at sea, so their lineages are often interrupted. Unlike the many sects within the sea, their lineages are not as stable. The Dao of Alchemy techniques have evolved from generation to generation, becoming not only stable and systematic, but also with guaranteed quality.
This is exactly what Jade Wave Immortal Market needs.
However, because the country is dominated by various forces, large and small, no matter how much effort is put into increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, it is difficult to make significant progress.
The sea is rich and its vast waters nurture many rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are not found in the mainland.
In addition, the Jade Spring Sect now needs to support the Jade Parasol Tree, a major client, requiring more precious medicines, more Spirit Stone, and more external resources for cultivation, while also supporting the Clear Scenery Alliance's consumption.
Chen Shuangbai had already made up her mind.
The sect's ambitions extend beyond simply conquering the Jing Kingdom!
Only a vast territory can nurture more Golden Core cultivators... and even Nascent Soul Cultivator.
For Nascent Soul cultivator, the Jing Kingdom is still too small...
Three days later.
The cooperation agreement between the two parties was finally signed.
A smile appeared on Gao Hao's face, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Before setting off, he had already decided that he would definitely give up some of his profits, but he still didn't expect... that there were so many cultivators in the Jade Spring Sect who were talented in the ways of commerce.
Those cultivators who claimed to be from the Expenditure Hall were all shrewd and capable. If anyone on Gao Hao's side tried to play any tricks, they would immediately receive a warning from them.
This is not entirely Gao Hao's fault.
The members of the Expenditure Hall deal with Merit Points and Spirit Stone every day. In order to avoid making mistakes and disappointing the inner and outer disciples, they have developed a pair of sharp eyes. No matter how small the oversight, it will not escape their notice.
However, it was precisely because of this that he had even more confidence in the Jade Spring Sect.
If I can bring this news back to the Gao Clan, my status within the Gao Clan will likely see another significant boost.
Gao Hao thought to himself.
Gao Hao went to find Chen Shuangbai Chen Shuangbai and brought her a batch of unique spiritual materials from the sea.
"Brother Dao, I heard that you recently established a separate residence outside the sect a few years ago... I have been living overseas for a long time and have not been able to come and congratulate you. This small gift is just a token of my appreciation!"
Chen Shuangbai looked at the spiritual materials.
Not only are there full, moon -Deep Sea Bright Moon Pearl brimming with Spiritual Qi, but also silvery-white Mysterious Sound Shell that emit clear, melodious sounds, blood-red coral branches containing fiery fire elements, and a coral-shaped spirit medicine that is crystal clear and emits a faint blue light.
Chen Shuangbai's gaze swept over these spiritual materials, and he secretly admired them. The sea was indeed rich in resources; any one of these spiritual materials would be enough to cause a scramble among Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"This is a bit too expensive..."
He wanted to decline, but Gao Hao said, "If you decline, it would damage our friendship."
"Moreover, these items come from my private treasury and have no connection to the Gao Clan family of Jade Wave Immortal Market... Brother, please don't refuse, and accept them."
"If I have some free time in the future, I'll personally visit the Jade Spring Sect to pay my respects to one or two fellow Daoists."
"I hope that you won't turn away this country bumpkin from the sea when the time comes!"
"Hahaha!"
Gao Hao was extremely envious.
He met Chen Shuangbai about seven or eight years ago, when Chen Shuangbai was only in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage... Now she is in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and looking at her bright and clear appearance, he knows that she is definitely not just a product of pills!
Such a genius, I'm afraid the next time we meet, he'll already be at the Golden Core?!
The Gao Clan started their business with the ways of merchants and also understands how to invest in talent!
Gao Hao doesn't know if he'll ever achieve the Golden Core stage in his lifetime... but if he has a Golden Core True Person as a friend... even if he can't become the next family head, his status will definitely not be low!
Having said all that, Chen Shuangbai roughly understood Gao Hao's meaning.
As the saying goes, when wealth is delivered to your door, how can you refuse it?
Gao Hao most likely saw his potential and wanted to invest in him in advance, hoping to build a good relationship in the future.
"Brother Gao, then I am truly unworthy of such an honor!"
But that's not enough!
Gao Hao then took a jade box from the maid beside him and personally handed it to Chen Shuangbai, his tone slightly more solemn.
"Brother Dao, back when we were at sea, I observed that your swordsmanship was already quite formidable. Now, seeing it again... you have already condensed Sword Essence and are slaying enemies with your sword. You truly are a swordsmanship prodigy."
"Given our friendship, I should be here to congratulate you on your breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment... That's why I've already collected a Pill Formula called the [ Cold Abyss Sword-Washing Pill ]. It's a third-tier treasure pill that can refine Sword Essence and purify Law Power, making it especially suitable for cultivators practicing the water-based sword path."
Chen Shuangbai's expression immediately turned serious.
This elixir can not only be used by myself, but also by all my fellow disciples in the sect who have Spirit Root and cultivate the sword path... even my senior uncles and aunts can use it.
This goes beyond the scope of investment.
It's more like... they've taken a gamble!
Chen Shuangbai Chen Shuangbai stared intently at Gao Hao, who did not flinch but met her gaze.
A moment later.
Chen Shuangbai took the jade box, carefully examined the Pill Formula inside, confirmed its authenticity, and then slowly bowed to Gao Hao, his tone becoming solemn. "Brother Gao... I will remember this kindness."
"If you ever need anything in the future, or if your children or wives need anything, you may come to me, and I will do everything in my power to protect you."
A genuine smile appeared on Gao Hao's face.
Although he knew the statement was somewhat exaggerated, Chen Shuangbai at least responded, indicating that he had placed his bet...
You definitely made the right bet.
There are many compassionate monks.
There are also many righteous monks.
But those who are both loyal and compassionate... are extremely rare.
Although Gao Hao hadn't had much contact with Chen Shuangbai, he could tell that these words were sincere.
