Representatives of the Various Forces Attend (2)

He didn't say anything else, only that the two of them were young and, as juniors, they should give the first place to their elders.

Seeing that they were not vying for first place, the Cloud and Mist Sect did not press the matter further.

Seated behind the four sects were some ministers and officials of the Pusi Kingdom's court.

This council hall is where representatives of the highest authority in the entire Pusi Kingdom have gathered.

Once everyone was present, Li Zhouxuan, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, began to discuss business.

He waved to the chief eunuch waiting behind him.

Before long, a group of eunuchs distributed a copy of the goods list that Liu Yunan had given him the day before to each of them.

Then Li Zhouxuan spoke:

All items on this list will be sold at the prices listed above. Are you all satisfied?

After discussing the matter with Qin Jianghe and the other two last night, Li Zhouxuan sent someone to inform the other three sects about the general details of the cultivation material transaction. Therefore, the other three sects were not surprised to see the list in their hands and hear what Li Zhouxuan had said.

However, the other three sects were not so calm about the types of items and prices on the list, as well as the last clause. "[If you have any other needs, please let us know, and we will try our best to meet them]".

Elder Lü of the Clear River Sect immediately disregarded etiquette and looked at Li Zhouxuan in shock, saying:

"Are the items on this royal list genuine?!"

Many of the things on this are things that their sect's traditional refining methods cannot produce, such as the Spirit Gathering Pill! The sect has been using the refining method of this pill as bait to lure them in, but has never actually passed it on to them.

Most of these items are things that cultivators need on a daily basis. The most important ones are things like Spirit Gathering Formation and Origin-Nurturing Pill, as well as some offensive and functional talismans and Law Artifact.

There are also many other resources that only exist in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Although they can purchase some of these items from the sects mentioned above every few years.

But those prices were completely different from the prices on their current list!

Seeing this price, the three old sects of the Clear River Sect Pusi Kingdom were practically bleeding from their hearts.

For the small amount of resources they had previously acquired at a cost five or even ten times greater.

It turns out these things can actually be so cheap.

Li Zhouxuan nodded to the shocked Elder Lü with a smile in his eyes:

"That's natural, and the supply is plentiful, so there's no need to worry about running out of stock if you buy too late."

Seeing this, Liu Yunan immediately pretended to know nothing and asked in surprise:

"Can we buy these things at this price from now on? Can we ask you for other things if we need them? Is this true?"

Seeing that he could ask questions so naturally as if he knew nothing, Li Zhouxuan was momentarily speechless, but his professional imperial conduct made him immediately remain calm and answer seriously:

"Yes, if you have any other needs that aren't on the list, you can let me know. My channels will try their best to procure them, but I can't guarantee they'll be available."

The other sects didn't really suspect that the royal family's supply channel was the Lingxian Sect, but they did have some doubts in their hearts. After all, the Lingxian Sect had only been around for a short time, yet the royal family already had such a powerful channel.

Seeing that Liu Yunan also seemed clueless, they dispelled their doubts.

Nonsense. If their own sect had such powerful channels and could obtain these cultivation resources at such favorable prices, their sect would definitely take the opportunity to profit more from them, rather than offering prices many times lower than those of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Moreover, controlling this channel is tantamount to controlling the lifeline of most cultivators in the Mortal Realm, and they are even less likely to relinquish such an opportunity to manipulate the royal family and other sects.

This kind of thing should naturally be firmly in one's own hands, and one should enjoy exclusive power over it.

Therefore, this channel could not possibly be from the Lingxian Sect.

The price was so low that the other sects guessed it was because the royal family was too poor.

Compared to sects that still have plenty of resources to train so many disciples, the royal family is much poorer.

Furthermore, the royal family knew that their sects all had powerful sects backed by the Immortal Cultivation Realm, so they naturally thought that if the products were sold at too high a price, the sects might not be willing to buy them.

I wonder where the royal family got this supply channel; they're incredibly lucky.

But that's okay.

Although the royal family will certainly be able to gain some benefits from this long-term deal and have more say than they do now, it won't be a big deal.

After all, those sects did indeed benefit from it.

Even if the royal family makes some money, it certainly won't keep up with the rapid increase in the overall strength of their sect.

Therefore, they can accept it perfectly well.

In this way, we can rely less on the sects in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

After that, the various sects raised some further questions and reached an agreement with Li Zhouxuan and his group on things like fixed trading times.

Elder Lü of the Clear River Sect even immediately compiled a list of his sect's needs, which included some items not on the original list. They hoped to try and obtain these items through the royal family's trading channels.

This list was sent back to the sect by Elder Lü last night as soon as he received the news, using Sound Transmission Talisman that he usually didn't use much. It was the sect leader's reply that followed.

However, Han Shangyi, the leader of the Clear River Sect, probably did not expect that the royal family's supply channels could provide such a wide variety of goods, so there were actually many items that were not on the list he provided.

However, Elder Lü was entrusted with the important task of guarding the sect's headquarters in the capital, was a very good friend of Han Shangyi, and he was also capable of making half the decisions in this matter, so he directly added many of the necessities himself.

Of course, the request form was given to Li Zhouxuan in a sealed envelope.

This kind of thing is fine as long as the royal family, the middleman, knows about it; it definitely can't be allowed to reach other sects.

For a time, everyone in the council hall was either staring intently at the goods list, carefully considering something, or already drafting their own demand lists.

After the representatives from each sect had finished their discussions, everyone thought the matter was over and the meeting should be called to a close.

The heads of the other two sects don't have the same level of authority as Elder Lü of the Clear River Sect. They still need to go back to their sects to discuss and reach a decision regarding what their sects need to purchase.

Unexpectedly, after watching them discuss the matter with their fellow disciples, Li Zhouxuan glanced discreetly at Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe, then suddenly dropped another bombshell:

"You've all discussed this matter enough. The rest may require further communication back home. Now, let's move on to the second matter."
