Hengshou went out to deliver letters and returned in three days.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Heng Hua sitting under a weeping willow and fishing in the pond with a fishing rod.
Xiaoyu accompanied him and changed his food from time to time.
Fu Pengming sat beside me and muttered.
"Brother, you are really not in a hurry. For three days, that man has been in and out of major trading firms frequently, and several jade brand trading firms have been persuaded by him. If you don't take action, we Cypress Sovereign Hall will be crushed by the Xuju Hall."
"They are all members of our own family, why should one of them be given priority and not the other?"
The old god Heng Hua is fishing. Whenever a fish takes the bait, Xiaoyu will gently pick it off, feed it a pill, and throw it far away into the pond on the other side.
Hengshou returns and returns to Heng Hua.
"Master, two letters have been delivered."
Letter?
Fu Pengming felt something in his heart.
"Brother, did you send the letter in advance to address this matter? Are two letters enough?"
"Why, you don't believe in Sister Qi's methods?"
"Sister Tongjun? Did you ask her to help?"
Fu Pengming's face was full of astonishment.
"She doesn't want to develop with Bai Cang, so what can she do? She can't play tricks - brother, don't mess around. If this is discovered, we will be in big trouble."
"You really look down on your sister. When I see Tongjun later, I should have a good talk with her."
Heng Hua handed the fishing rod to Xiaoyu, stood up and looked at Hengshou.
"Tongjun didn't come with you?"
"She persuaded that person to stay there for advice and practice."
"Indeed, this is a good opportunity."
Heng Hua said no more, turned around and went back to the house to read.
Xiaoyu packed up the fishing rod, Fu Pengming pulled up Hengshou and asked, "Brother asked you to deliver a letter, one to sister Tongjun, and the other to whom? Who are you planning to ask to come to the Merchant Alliance to make peace?"
"Don't worry, Master Jiu, the young master has his own sense of proportion."
After Hengshou finished speaking, he chased Fu Henghua into the house.
Heng Hua sat in the study and picked up the dozens of books Fu Pengming sent this morning.
This is Fu Pengming looking for Redwood Box books, ancient books found from Bai Cang various places.
The reason why it is limited to Bai Cang is that Duan Sijing mentioned it at the time. His Redwood Box was obtained from the ruins of the Golden Rain Immortal Palace. The estimated location happened to be at the place of Bai Cang.
Fu Henghua also thought about whether Golden Rain Immortal Palace would send the books inside to the Myriad Rosy Clouds Palace and study them with Golden Dawn Celestial Maiden. But judging from the Myriad Rosy Clouds Palace's experience, no one made any discoveries there.
Therefore, Fu Pengming focuses on Bai Cang to collect the unique ancient books of Divine Land Era in order to find the "Heavenly Book inheritance".
Looking through ancient books, Heng Hua quickly picked out three of them.
A book recording the production of Secret Mantra Golden Register.
"Azure Yi Gold Essence, Hengshou, take it and study it."
Throw it to Hengshou, Fu Henghua flips through the remaining two books.
Well, the familiar Evil Emperor Golden Script... I'm sure it's the stuff in Redwood Box.
Unfortunately, it is still not Heavenly Book.
Heng Hua wrote down the two magic spells and secretly recorded them into Heavenly Evil Sword Qi.
Fu Pengming jumped in. "Brother, is there any result?"
"No, keep looking."
Instructing Xiaoyu to collect the ancient books, Heng Hua said to Fu Pengming, "If you have nothing to do, go back early. Sanyuan City, come back in a few days - remember to find Liu Yuying. By then, she will be needed to do something."
"Oh."
Fu Pengming saw that Fu Henghua had no intention of explaining, so he had no choice but to leave angrily.
After he left, Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask.
"Master, are you sure that Miss Seven can move that person?"
"That person has been stuck in the current state for many years. I will give him a big opportunity. If he wants to make progress, he will naturally come. And-"
Fu Henghua secretly thought: Bai Cang and him... cause and effect are important.
"What will the great elder think of asking someone to take action? Is... is this good?"
"Do you still remember the story I told you when you were a child? There will be generals, the superiors will direct the generals, and the inferiors will command the troops. To be the head of the family, you don't need to do everything yourself. You just need to know how to let the right people do the right things."
Hengshou glanced at Fu Henghua and thought to himself: Then we need to explain it clearly. You only wrote four words in the letter "to lend a hand". Fortunately, the seventh girl has the same mind as you. Otherwise, how would you know what you want to do?
Before he sent the letter, he didn't know the intention of Fu Henghua.
It was Fu Tongjun who saw the letter and directly asked Hengshou to go to Tianyang Waters to see Senior Jie Xian and explained to him on the way.
With just one glance, she understood Fu Henghua's entire idea.
Fu Tongjun looked at the brazier.
"Undying Solar Flame" given to Heng Hua on his birthday is burning brightly in the brazier.
At the other end of the brazier, a man was doing a seal, using the sun's flames to absorb sunlight, forming a mysterious and mysterious network of light.
Fu Tongjun Write down the opponent's tactics and think about them silently.
After a while, the man stopped.
"This method of yours is quite novel and it really helps me."
"It's my brother's idea, I just implement his idea."
In the past three years, Fu Tongjun has implemented "Flame Network System" on some islands under his name. This time, Fu Henghua asked him to dedicate this cultivation technique to a senior in exchange for help.
"Brother?"
The man smiled playfully.
Fu Tongjun said stubbornly, "Yes, he is my younger brother."
Men are too lazy to worry about this.
"In a few days, will you come with me to Bai Cang?"
"For him to do this suddenly, something must have happened over there. Naturally, I have to take a look."
Fu Xiazhai moved around in many directions at Sanyuan City, and the twelve days passed by in a blink of an eye.
On the same day, Heng Hua and others came to the Merchant Alliance's meeting hall.
The square tables were arranged in a row, and the two sides sat opposite each other. Fu Pengming and the presidents of major commercial banks sat in the auditorium behind the negotiation table. Liu Yuying, representing Good Fortune Trading House, sat together with Liang Zheng.
Fu Xiazhai is the elder. He is sitting on the left side of Heng Hua. He happily takes out the latest terms he finalized and circulates the printed copy to everyone present.
Heng Hua was not interested in the terms of Fu Xiazhai. He didn't even touch it and let it sit beside the tea cup.
Xiaoyu had no choice but to put the printed copy away.
Hengshou took it from her hand at the right time and flipped through a few pages.
Sure enough, this is the way to go.
Hengshou shook his head secretly: It's a pity that it can't be used.
Zhu Zhengxiong, Xiao Zhenghe and others looked through the terms and discussed it.
The mechanism originally provided by the Merchant Alliance.
First, deduct the annual operating costs to pay the salaries of the Merchant Alliance members. The salary of the Ninth Elder Attendant is also included in the operating costs.
Then estimate the operating expenses for the next year, deduct a portion first, and then provide the remaining dividends to the three major water bodies.
In essence, the nine elders are just wage earners in the three major water areas. The real money-makers are the major sects in the three major water areas. It is by relying on the huge profits of the Baiqiang Merchant Alliance that they can maintain their aristocratic and aloof posture.
But there are too many things that can be done in the annual settlement and next year's budget.
The immortal cultivators in the three major water areas do not want to care about anything, as long as the spiritual jade, pearls, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures offered every year are not withheld. Several elders are secretly making money, and they will not interfere.
Dragonreach Waters suddenly intervened, so naturally the interests of the three major water bodies could not be affected. The nine elders had to make a fuss based on budget and cost.
This is also what some people in the three major water bodies like to see.
Those respectable elders were not willing to argue with the Merchant Alliance. However, the True Disciple disciples from different factions were not happy to see the elder Merchant Alliance frantically trying to get money from his own pockets.
They had calculated that Dragonreach Waters would step in. Although the money shared was much less than that of the three major water bodies, it could just squeeze out the elders' share of the money and make them truly part-time workers.
However, Merchant Alliance elders are not stupid, how can they be willing to spit out the benefits themselves?
So, they backhandedly dragged down the top ten jade trading companies.
"You have to contribute part of the money given to Yalong Trading House. What? Do you think it has nothing to do with you? Then, we just need to give them the privilege of Jade Card and let Yalong Trading House squeeze your business space."
To pay a sum of money to ensure safety, it is better for the Merchant Alliance to completely bring Yalong Trading House into the competition. Jade Brand Firms naturally understand the importance.
This is also the reason why Yalong Trading House only has the gold medal and Merchant Alliance insists on not letting go.
Fu Xiazhai's method starts from this point: it must not only satisfy the interests of Yalong Trading House, but the income obtained must not be damaged at all. It must also satisfy the selfish desires of the elders to make profits, and it must also expand the business scale of other firms. The ultimate goal is to win multiple times.
"Let these Jade Trading Firms come to our side to establish branches?"
Xiao Zhenghe Transmission: "What if they squeeze out our industry?"
"So, his terms are clearly written: to avoid competition among the same industry. After all, there are too few of us Lineage."
Yanlong Trading Company was established by the eight major families of Yanlong. Although it is the top cultivation family in Yanlong, there are many small families and sect forces besides it. The eight major families control the core trade of the Yanlong cultivation world, but they cannot cover everything.
Fu Xiazhai Appropriately allocate some space to Jade Brand Firms to expand their industrial scale, so that major Jade Brand Firms can make more money.
As long as you make more money, everything else will be easy to talk about.
"Look, he also wrote here that when major commercial banks make money in our territory, they will give us a share later. The more they make, the more we will get. It is equivalent to squeezing the operating space of other Yanlong sects and small Lineage and moving their money to our side.
"Besides, Wind Network is under our control. If Baiqiang Merchant Alliance's trading firm comes over, we can drive them out overnight."
Xiao Zhenghe felt slightly relieved when he heard this.
The presidents and family members across the negotiating table quickly flipped through the printed copy. They found that the content was similar to what they had discussed in the past few days, and they were completely relieved.
Ling Xianjun and other elders read the terms and were very satisfied: they were the same as what Fu Xiazhai had discussed with me in private.
In the terms of Fu Xiazhai, it is ensured that Yalong Trading House has the same status as Attendant in the three major waters, completely eliminating the elders' intention to make money. But Fu Xiazhai uses another method to get money openly for the elders.
Every Jade Brand firm that develops to Yanlong or Flame Waters must pay an additional maintenance fee to support nine elders and thirty-six directors. After the elders leave Merchant Alliance, they can be rehired as guest ministers in each firm.
The elders and president had received the news in advance, so there was no problem.
Zhu Zhengxiong and Xiao Zhenghe looked subtle, but if you think about it carefully, it was Merchant Alliance who caused the trouble anyway. As long as we give us a lot of money, they can do whatever they want.
When Fu Pengming and other representatives from various commercial banks saw the text, he heard many people nearby scolding him.
"Now Merchant Alliance is partial to these jade trading companies. How many benefits have they obtained secretly? Now they still want to collude openly?"
Yin Yanqing followed the representative of Jade Thunder Trading House. He flipped through a few pages and shook his head frequently.
"Yalong Trading House's move is going to completely disrupt the development of the Merchant Alliance?"
In the future, major commercial banks will hire elder Merchant Alliance as their guest clerk. Merchant Alliance will make profits for the major commercial banks and scheming with each other. The top commercial banks will naturally benefit, but what about the small shops at the bottom?
When all the Cloud City lords saw the terms, they all looked ugly. "Yanlong and the three major water bodies are outside, and they only take the benefits without taking any responsibility. But Bai Cang is here--ah!"
Bai Cang has just regained some strength, is there going to be internal strife again?
"I don't agree."
One sentence interrupted all the discussions in the spectators' seats.
Everyone looked up and saw that the speaker was one of the nine elders, Elder Zheng, who was sitting in the seventh position.
Fu Xiazhai squinted at him.
"Fellow Daoist do not agree?"
He had been speaking vaguely in the past few days, so I guessed that he might object. But--
"Are there any other fellow Daoists who object?"
He glanced at the Merchant Alliance other elders.
Ling Xianjun and others looked at each other, understanding in their hearts.
Eight to one, so what if Elder Zheng objects alone?
But why did he object?
Ling Xianjun is confused.
These elders were ordered by the three major water bodies to come to Bai Cang to manage Merchant Alliance. They were not focused on the development of Bai Cang.
As the person chosen by Tianyang Waters, Elder Zheng will think exclusively about the Merchant Alliance?
Elder Zheng pointed to the terms on the first page.
"Baiqiang Merchant Alliance pays a fee to Yalong Trading House on behalf of each firm in exchange for each firm being protected by Yanlong and Lineage, the Eight Great Cultivation Acts, during Flame Waters and Yanlong."
"Is there a problem with this? Flame Waters There are many local forces, Dragon Serpent are mixed. Yanlong is infested by water monsters, we provide protection, Merchant Alliance loves our comrades Bai Cang and contributes a sum of money to small merchants. Everyone wins more, isn't it good?"
"Isn't the essence of this money just the same protection fee as the three major water bodies?"
Bai Cang Merchants traveling in the three major waters will also receive protection from the sect. There are also some merchants who take the initiative to join a certain sect and receive protection from their patrons. Of course, this requires additional funds.
"I don't think Yalong Trading House is qualified or capable of protecting us."
suddenly--
There was a scorching heat wave on the field.
Zhu Zhengxiong looked at the nine elders coldly.
"I'm afraid you have forgotten why I stay here?"
They are both Golden Core Realm and Yanlong Golden Core Cultivator. Those are the ones who really came out of the demon tide.
He alone and the coercion forced the nine elders to work together to develop their skills.
Ling Xianjun said hurriedly, "Friend Daoist, please calm down. Brother Zheng Xian just made a slip of the tongue. Brother Zheng, please apologize quickly--"
Suddenly, Pure Wind blew from outside, and Zhu Zhengxiong's Golden Core Domain were forcibly blown away.
His expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the door.
A short, fat monk in golden clothes walked in cheerfully.
"Everyone, please speak up, why did you suddenly take action?" He fanned the cattail leaf fan and slowly walked to Elder Zheng.
Nascent Soul Grandmaster?
Zhu Zhengxiong looks ugly.
When did he win over a Grandmaster.
Xiaoyu and Hengshou quickly looked at Heng Hua.
If necessary, should you use Heaven-and-Earth Vat to pull the old man over?
Heng Hua stared at the short and fat monk for a while and suddenly smiled.
"A Leaf Crossing the Sea, it turned out to be a person from Divine Void City? Golden-Robed Leaf Fan, your surname is Sun? It should be Golden Core Realm realm, right? Second rank? Is it the cattail leaf fan that was refined by the senior city lord? A top-grade spiritual weapon is indeed rare to come by."
Sun Xihuai heard this and looked Fu Henghua up and down.
"Young friend, is that Fu Family who created Earthly Fiend Art? I also heard about it in the South Sea."
Divine Void City master Sun Cheng is one of the two tribulation immortals South Sea!
Zhu Zhengxiong Thinking of this, he immediately understood where Elder Zheng's confidence lies.
"You actually plan to use Divine Void City as your backer to make us Yanlong our enemy?"
"We Bai Cang monks are not good at fighting, and we will be unable to defeat water bandits and demon tides. It is naturally a good idea to find some people to escort us. We can't invite experts from other worlds in the three major waters. If some fellow Daoists from Divine Void City are willing to help, why not?"
When Heng Hua heard this, he turned around and asked Sun Xihuai: "How much do you want?"
Fu Xiazhai reacted and said directly to Sun Xihuai: "Fellow Daoist, take Divine Void City's people and retreat. We Yanlong will pay the money."
Elder Zheng chose them because they asked for a low price. At worst, we can give some away and still have some leftover. As for Elder Zheng... let's settle this matter first, and then we can slowly settle things with him later.
Sun Xihuai shook his head. "How can you give up halfway when you agree to something for others? Fellow Daoist Zheng invited us here because he didn't want monk Bai Cang to be suppressed by Yanlong.
"As monks Yanlong, why do you have to commit robberies and come here to persecute monks Bai Cang? Although we are overseas, we also know the word 'justice'."
Sun Xihuai handed over to Fu Xiazhai: "Your Excellency is from the Fu Family, and I have heard about Eastern Hero for a long time. I dare to ask this, does he know about it?"
"If South Sea pays attention to justice, Purple-Robed Liu Family will not live in exile Bai Cang."
Mentioning Fu Danwei, Heng Hua immediately became unhappy.
"Do you think it's too much for Yanlong to force Bai Cang, so the three major waters require Merchant Alliance to provide for it? The three major waters protect Bai Cang monks walking in the three major waters. Bai Qiang Ghost Calamity, the three major waters helped each other. It was obviously a two-way street. In the same way, why did we, Yanlong, ever force Bai Cang? If Bai Cang refuses, we will no longer have exchanges and cut off trade."
"No!"
Several elders quickly spoke to dissuade him.
Flame Waters The world of cultivation is gradually recovering, and there are unlimited business opportunities there. If the Yalong Trading House family can't afford it, it will be divided among the Bai Cang monks. If contact is cut off, Yalong Trading House will kill Bai Cang monks to join Flame Waters. Merchant Alliance How much less will they earn?
It may even affect the supply of the three major water bodies.
Heng Hua ignored the dissuasion of the elders and said to Sun Xihuai, "Elder Zheng invites you all to come. Do you still intend to let you compete with us monks Yanlong. If we lose, we will retreat honestly and give up the matter of offering sacrifices?"
Sun Xihuai Silence.
Indeed, this was Elder Zheng's original plan.
He pretended to be Grandmaster to shock him, and then let Divine Void City others fight with the younger generation of Yanlong and repel them.
Heng Hua sighed and gently raised his hand, "Three Realms Wheel."
Sun Xihuai Daoist heart warned, he saw a roulette wheel spinning, with feathers and scales, birth, old age, illness and death... Heaven and earth Wanxiang are all within this wheel.
Not good!
He subconsciously dodged to the side, but Heng Hua's palm came out lightly, and did not catch up with Sun Xihuai, but pressed it on Elder Zheng's shoulder.
"Ah--"
Elder Zheng shivered all over, and his vision was hazy. The Golden Core Realm in his body seemed to be shrouded in a mist, and Yin Spirit could not be sensed clearly.
"Zhu...Foundation Establishment?"
Zhu Lixing Seeing this scene, I recalled the scene three years ago.
Three Realms Wheel, Heaven Grade Dao Art who erased the monk realm.
He... he could really knock a Golden Core Cultivator out of his realm?
Sun Xihuai looked ugly, and then he figured it out.
Three Realms Wheel locks onto one target at a time, and his target was not him from the beginning. If he had reacted properly just now, he could smash Three Realms Wheel into pieces.
That's right, others can break Three Realms Wheel.
This is the method that the monks found after studying "Three Realms Wheel" for three years.
"Look, there is a member of the Tribulation Immortal clan, Great Golden Core Adept, who is protecting you. You are also Golden Core Cultivator yourself, but you can't resist my casual palm. Why do you think that Divine Void City's disciples can win safely when they fight with me later? Are you relying on the treasure given by the Tribulation Immortal, or are you counting on the personal presence of senior Sun Cheng?"
After Heng Hua finished speaking, he turned around and said to Sun Xihuai, "Previously at the Relict Continent, I glanced at senior Sun Cheng. Is his Fire Tribulation coming soon? Has the dragon blood been used up? Is the blood of Earth Dragon enough for him to transform into an immortal body?"
Sun Xihuai looks solemn.
Although he knew that Fu Henghua was Dharma Performer, he didn't know that he was so unfathomable. Even his grandfather's realm could be seen through at a glance.
It is rumored that he established Dao Cauldron Realm, which is indeed possible.
Fu Henghua After finishing speaking, he sat down again.
"I, Dharma Performer, can't do things like fighting. I can't grasp the importance, and I'm afraid that I will bring down your family's level. By then, I'm afraid that senior Sun Cheng won't bother to go into seclusion, and will carry True Spirit Flame Tribulation to seek revenge on me."
For your little thing, are you betting on the risk of Sun Cheng failing to escape the tribulation?
Sun Xihuai Silence.
Yin Yanqing stood up at this time and asked with a smile, "If the Tribulation Immortal comes in person, how will you treat me?"
"I have no choice but to ask the Tribulation Immortal for protection? Look, isn't this coming?"
Boom--
The sky was filled with angry thunder, as if clouds of calamity were gathering and calamity was coming.
The monks present noticed a hint of destruction and their expressions changed.
The next moment, they saw another man in red at the door.
Tribulation Immortal Meng Chen!
Everyone's pupils shrank.
The Ninth Elder suddenly stood up and saluted the Tribulation Immortal.
"Greetings, senior!"
"No need, there will be many places to deal with in the future. In my place, you don't need to be so polite."
Meng Chen crossed the crowd and came to the far left side of the square table.
Heng Hua signaled to Hengshou, and he immediately brought a chair for Jie Xian to sit in the main seat.
At the same time, he walked around Fu Xiazhai next to him and sat in the position closest to Meng Chen.
"Senior, look at this. This Bai Cang monk doesn't look down on our Yanlong monk. He even invited people from Divine Void City."
Meng Chen looked at Sun Xihuai with a half-smile.
"What, you want me to discuss Daoism with fellow Daoist Sun?"
"Goodbye!" Sun Xihuai went out decisively.
Meng Chen The Tribulation Immortal practices the Tribulation Technique. Although he is also a calamity Immortal, he ran to Divine Void City, and with just a slight fiddle, it was possible to trigger his grandfather's True Spirit Flame Tribulation.
He is one of the people who can't afford to offend the most among the Tribulation Immortals.
Sun Xihuai went out and saw a woman standing in front of him Lineage.
When the girl looked back, Sun Xihuai looked in a daze: "Cui--"
His expression changed, he reacted quickly, waved his cattail fan and led the people away.
Fu Tongjun looked at the direction in which everyone was leaving, lowered his head and thought for a while, then walked into the lobby.
Meng Chen looked around the crowd and said, "Baiqiang Merchant Alliance only has elders and directors, which is not good. There are some things that we cannot talk to Yalong Trading House confidently. So from now on, I will be the leader of the alliance and manage Merchant Alliance on my behalf."
Meng Chen Jie Xian took out a document with signatures from three major factions: Purple Sovereign Pavilion, Jade Sage Pavilion and Taixuan.
Everyone present was shocked, Fu Xiazhai's expression changed, and he quickly looked at Fu Henghua.
Fu Henghua smiled back at him and stood up to congratulate Meng Chen.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt enlightened.
He invited this Tribulation Immortal!
Can you drag Jie Xian over to be the Merchant Alliance leader for nothing?
Why?
Why would a Tribulation Immortal lower his body to do this?
Everyone was puzzled, but Meng Chen and Heng Hua obviously had no intention of explaining to them.
"Heavenlink Stone I will find someone to investigate the counterfeit incident and kill all those involved. Counterfeit goods violate Merchant Alliance's fairness and justice and undermine the foundation of our business. We cannot sit idly by.
"Merchant Alliance pays the protection fee to Dragonreach Waters as usual and remains unchanged for the time being."
Yes, you are the Tribulation Immortal from Yanlong. You personally become the leader of the alliance. This... it is obvious that Yanlong is suppressing our Bai Cang monks!
Not only the elders and several heads of the clan, but also many monks in the auditorium lowered their heads silently.
But--
The Tribulation Immortal arrives in person.
In the face of strength, they can't say a word.
"By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be mentioned. In addition to Wind Network and Thunder Network, Good Fortune Trading House and Nanyang Trading Company are the leaders, and Yong City as the core, establish Fire Network. Fu Tongjun, you can preside over it. This matter is related to whether City Lord Hu can Soul Formation, I believe he will not refuse."
Fire Network?
Yin Yanqing's expression changed and he glanced in Fu Henghua's direction.
He nodded slightly to himself.
Three Calamities Thunder-Fire-Wind Art, Thunder Network, Fire Network, Wind Network, this is to help the robbery immortal simulate Three Calamities Tribulation Art and open up the road to becoming an immortal.
Yin Yanqing sighed: In the future, the Tribulation Immortal will be in charge of Bai Cang, and it will be difficult to make small moves here.
