cooperate?
Chen Shuangbai looked at Fan Yunsong, narrowing his eyes slightly, and knew that this outer disciple from a cultivation Lineage probably already had a fairly mature set of "cooperation methods".
Chen Shuangbai didn't mind.
On the contrary, although Fan Yunsong looks thick-browed and big-eyed, he is actually quite cunning, but his character is reliable.
Furthermore, since he and I both studied under Yi Chongyue, an inner sect Alchemist, and we had a good relationship, cooperation would indeed be something worth considering.
"Young brother, I'm all ears," Chen Shuangbai said.
Fan Yunsong said, "Junior Brother's large-scale refining of these two pills is highly efficient and of consistent quality, something I cannot match."
"Hey, what you're saying, senior brother..."
Chen Shuangbai was about to retort when Fan Yunsong raised his hand to interrupt his modesty, saying, "Junior brother, there's no need to be modest. Even Master Yi praised the Miasma-Cleansing Pill and Spring-Turning Pill you refined. I am indeed inferior to you."
All right.
Since Yi Chongyue has already agreed, Chen Shuangbai has no reason to be modest.
To be honest, the quality of the Jade Spring Five Pills he refined at first included some mixed pills, but as he cultivated the Secret Method " Moonlight Spirit-Nourishing Instruction " over the years, his spiritual sense became far stronger than his peers, making it easier for him to meticulously control the pill formation process.
In addition, the Secret Method "Fair Hands Divide the Stars " for pill formation has led to an increase in the number of high-quality pills being produced.
Yi Chongyue and Fan Yunsong could easily ascertain this by observing the pills he sold to the Expenditure Hall.
This can't be hidden.
Fan Yunsong continued.
"Currently, the Empty Sword Sect and the Heart-Eroding Stronghold are locked in a stalemate, and there are daily clashes along the border where their forces meet. As a result, the price of pills in our Jing Kingdom has gradually increased considerably."
"My Fan Clan of Jing Valley, is located near the border of the Empty Sword Sect. Although our family's several medicinal gardens cannot compare to the sect's Jade Garden, we can still supply a large quantity of the herbs needed for the Jade Spring Five Pills."
"Furthermore, the Fan Clan of Jing Valley has been vigorously expanding its business over the years and has gradually achieved some results. We can also give a boost to the sales channels for these elixirs."
"What I mean is, we'll wait for the five of us to work together."
"Avoid the sect's cut and sell the Jade Spring Five Pills to other markets within our sect's territory, earning the price difference. Alternatively, you could go to the western or eastern part of the Jing Kingdom, or even other countries. What do you think?"
As Chen Shuangbai listened to Fan Yunsong's eloquent speech, she quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind.
Selling directly to external entities, especially across state borders, can indeed yield higher profits, at least doubling them.
However, the risks involved are quite significant.
This action is indeed not against the rules.
As long as one's side does not use the spiritual flowers and herbs provided by the sect's Jade Garden to refine pills, and does not provide them to the Expenditure Hall first, then it is not considered a violation.
However, the Jade Spring Sect is now aggressively acquiring Jade Spring Five Pills in order to regulate the price of pills in the markets of the three states.
Was his action a deliberate act of opposing the sect?
Upon hearing this, Fan Yunsong pondered for a moment and then replied.
"I've thought this through long ago. Over the years, my Fan family has cultivated some connections in the Zhao Kingdom, and we also have shops in many large markets."
"As for the sect... the Expenditure Hall actually has a set number of basic pills it purchases each month. The real bulk of the profits actually come from the Jade Dew Hall, not from the small-scale production by us disciples."
"As long as we complete our share of the basic pills needed by our sect, any surplus we refine will not be considered a violation of the sect's rules, as long as we do not violate the Dharma Contract or sell the Pill Formula formulas."
He paused, observed Chen Shuangbai's expression, and continued.
"I know you're weighing the pros and cons, but for the five of us, compared to the Jade Dew Hall's vast collection of pills, it's like a small-scale battle."
"Each month produces dozens or hundreds more bottles, but in the vast pill market of the three states, it's nothing more than a drop in the ocean, not even enough to make a ripple. How can that be considered going against the sect?"
" The Jade Spring Five Pills that we refine are probably not even considered scraps in the eyes of the Jade Dew Hall."
After hearing this, Chen Shuangbai's doubts were largely dispelled.
Fan Yunsong had already eliminated the possibility of violating the rules, so the matter was reasonable and in accordance with the regulations.
Moreover...
Chen Shuangbai narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully examined this Senior Brother Fan.
--I'm afraid Yi Chongyue, Yi Zuoshi, is also involved in this matter, so there's someone to cover for him.
--Most importantly, this instructor has been teaching alchemy for many years and has trained many Alchemist. He is also Alchemist of the Jade Dew Hall, so this move is probably one of the "benefits" of the Jade Dew Hall members.
"Senior brother's thoughts are profound; junior brother truly admires them."
After careful consideration, Chen Shuangbai said this.
When the Fan Household siblings heard this, they both smiled.
Once those words were spoken, the cooperation was finalized.
Fan Yunsong then took out an item from his Storage Bag, which was a Dharma Contract.
Clearly, the other three of the five have probably been persuaded to join the collaboration.
Chen Shuangbai took it and examined it carefully. The constraints and obligations were clearly written out, regulating both parties.
Upon closer inspection, there were already four Law Power imprints.
However, this Dharma Contract was probably not kept on file in the Expenditure Hall; each of the five people held a copy.
Just as Chen Shuangbai was about to unleash his Law Power Law Power and leave his mark on it, he suddenly remembered something.
"Senior Brother Fan, I am about to descend the mountain, but I'm afraid..."
Fan Yunsong replied, "It's alright. Even if we go down the mountain, we can continue refining. Wherever my junior brother goes, I'll just send a letter to the Lineage so they can open a shop in the area he's guarding."
"This will make transporting medicinal herbs and pills more convenient, and it will also help improve the local circulation of goods. It would be good to help my junior brother and give him some support."
They've thought of everything... They've got me cornered.
Chen Shuangbai chuckled inwardly, leaving his Law Power imprint on the Dharma Contract, and then keeping a copy for himself.
"Then let's settle on this for now."
Fan Yunsong put a Dharma Contract into his Storage Bag, let out a long sigh, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"It is a great honor for me to join forces with my junior brother."
The three chatted for a while longer, until the sun was high in the sky, before the Fan siblings finally left.
After seeing off the Fan Household siblings, Chen Shuangbai stood at the entrance of the cave abode, watching their departing figures disappear into the distance, and began to ponder.
--Compared to fighting alone, with the help of the Fan Clan of Jing Valley, I might be able to earn more Spirit Stone and cultivation materials.
Fortunately, I joined the Jade Spring Sect, rather than one of the other four sects.
He turned back to his cave abode, set up the formation again, and then took out a Law Power stone to record the conversation between Chen Shuangbai and the Fan siblings.
No matter how small the matter.
"Yes, one should always be wary of others. This item should be kept safe to avoid being scammed later."
