Chapter 2524: Chapter 2524: Discussing Cooperation

Hearing Wuxia Building Owner finish speaking, Ge Yi shook his head carelessly.

Unintentionally, he shifted his gaze and met the eyes of Elder Kang Li from the Eight Gods Pill Sect.

This time, the reason they had come together was definitely not as simple as buying a few Qianhe Zhenye here! Why did Tianji Trading House dispatch a Heavenly Domain Flying Boat? It was precisely to bring some pressure to Hongmeng City, to increase Hongmeng City’s sense of oppression.

”Wuxia Building Owner, you’ve misunderstood what I mean.”

”Let me introduce you first. This is Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, and this is Elder Kang Li of the Eight Gods Pill Sect. We came together this time because we want to cooperate with Hongmeng Pill Tower.” Ge Yi spoke slowly, a faint smile always on his face.

”What kind of cooperation?” Wuxia Building Owner looked at Kang Li, then turned to Ge Yi and asked.

”Cooperation regarding Qianhe Zhenye. This is a big deal. If Wuxia Building Owner is Wu Fa to make the decision, then you can invite City Lord Jing Yan to come out and talk.” Ge Yi’s eyes flashed as he spoke.

”Elder Ge Yi, you’re looking for me?” At this moment, a voice came from behind Ge Yi and the others.

The speaker was precisely Hongmeng City’s City Lord Jing Yan. Jing Yan and Bai Han entered Hongmeng Pill Tower together.

Hearing the voice, Ge Yi and the others naturally turned around to look.

”Haha, greetings, City Lord Jing Yan.” When Ge Yi saw Jing Yan, he let out a laugh, then cupped his hands toward Jing Yan.

As for Hou Yang Immortal Venerable and Elder Kang Li, the two did not make any move.

”Elder Ge Yi, no need to be so polite. I heard that you brought two distinguished guests into Hongmeng City and entered Hongmeng Pill Tower, so I specially came over to take a look. Just now when I came in, I heard Elder Ge Yi saying that if you couldn’t make the decision you would have me come to talk face-to-face. What matter is so important?” Jing Yan asked Ge Yi, his smile not reaching his eyes.

”City Lord Jing Yan, this matter is indeed important. It’s about a big deal. We know that City Lord Jing Yan holds the Pill Formula for Qianhe Zhenye, so Tianji Trading House and the Eight Gods Pill Sect want to cooperate with Hongmeng City under City Lord Jing Yan over the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye.” Ge Yi said with a slight smile.

”Eight Gods Pill Sect?” Jing Yan frowned, his gaze turning sharp.

”City Lord Jing Yan, this is Elder Kang Li of the Eight Gods Pill Sect, and he is also a High Grade Immortal Alchemist.” Ge Yi then introduced Kang Li of the Eight Gods Pill Sect to Jing Yan.

”The people of the Eight Gods Pill Sect, it was you, Elder Ge Yi, who brought them into Hongmeng City? Could it be that Elder Ge Yi doesn’t know my Hongmeng City does not welcome anyone from the Eight Gods Pill Sect? Not a single person!” Jing Yan’s deep voice carried a chill.

The atmosphere instantly became heavy.

”I’d already heard about City Lord Jing Yan. Now that we’ve met, City Lord Jing Yan seems even more overbearing than the rumors say.” Before Kang Li could speak, Hou Yang Immortal Venerable opened his mouth first, narrowing his eyes and staring at Jing Yan.

”And who might you be? Don’t tell me you’re also from the Eight Gods Pill Sect?” Jing Yan locked eyes with Hou Yang Immortal Venerable.

”I am Hou Yang, though I’m not particularly famous, so City Lord Jing Yan has likely never heard my name. Of course, I am not a member of the Eight Gods Pill Sect.” Hou Yang Immortal Venerable reported his own name.

”Since you’re not from the Eight Gods Pill Sect, then I must ask you to refrain from speaking for the moment. My Hongmeng City does not welcome anyone from the Eight Gods Pill Sect to enter.”

”Elder Ge Yi, you are a distinguished guest of Hongmeng City. This time, I won’t pursue the matter of you bringing members of the Eight Gods Pill Sect into Hongmeng City. But right now, all of you must leave my Hongmeng City.” Jing Yan’s eyes gleamed as he spoke.

”You...” Hou Yang Immortal Venerable’s expression sank, as if he wanted to erupt.

”City Lord Jing Yan, why not first hear what I have to say about the cooperation?” Elder Ge Yi spoke up in a hurry, indirectly preventing Hou Yang Immortal Venerable from spitting out harsh words.

”As for the cooperation, I do want to hear it. However, that person from the Eight Gods Pill Sect must leave Hongmeng City first.” Jing Yan pointed at Kang Li.

”But this cooperation is directly tied to the Eight Gods Pill Sect. Elder Kang Li has to take part.” Ge Yi said.

”Then let’s go talk outside the city.” Jing Yan said.

Ge Yi turned to Hou Yang Immortal Venerable and, in a consulting tone, said, ”Mr. Hou Yang, shall we go outside the city?”

”Troublesome!” Hou Yang Immortal Venerable flicked his sleeves, looking somewhat impatient.

Even so, Hou Yang, Ge Yi, Kang Li, and the others still chose to go outside the city to discuss the cooperation with Jing Yan.

Outside Hongmeng City!

On one side were Hou Yang, Ge Yi, and Kang Li, leading a group of Guards from Tianji Trading House. On the other side were Jing Yan, Bai Han, as well as Wuxia and some Guard members of Hongmeng City.

Farther away from the two parties stood countless Cultivators and adventurers. These Cultivators and adventurers each wore an excited look, their eyes shining as they stared at the scene.

”Looks like something big is really going to happen. Even City Lord Jing Yan has personally come out.”

”No idea what it’s about.”

”Elders of the Eight Gods Pill Sect and Tianji Trading House have come together, and tying that to the Qianhe Zhenye Elixirs that have recently appeared in Hongmeng City, they’re definitely here because of those Elixirs. If I’m not mistaken, the Eight Gods Pill Sect and Tianji Trading House probably want to obtain the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye from City Lord Jing Yan.”

”Qianhe Zhenye, each pill worth two hundred billion Black Crystal Stones, is said to be a special Divine Pill that can improve a Cultivator’s Divine Soul Body Purity. Would City Lord Jing Yan hand over the Pill Formula of such an Elixir so easily? The Eight Gods Pill Sect and Tianji Trading House are dreaming a bit too beautifully.”

”...”

The crowd surged, talking about Hongmeng City, the Eight Gods Pill Sect, Tianji Trading House, and the terrifyingly valuable Qianhe Zhenye.

”Elder Ge Yi, you can speak about the cooperation now. I’m all ears.” Jing Yan opened his mouth, looking at Elder Ge Yi opposite him.

”Very well, then I’ll be straightforward. Our Tianji Trading House and the Eight Gods Pill Sect want to obtain the Pill Formula for Qianhe Zhenye that City Lord Jing Yan holds.” Ge Yi said.

”Is Elder Ge Yi joking? I truly don’t understand how you could possibly think I might hand over the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye to you.” Jing Yan let out a sneer.

”City Lord Jing Yan, naturally we wouldn’t take the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye for nothing. What I’m talking about is cooperation for mutual benefit. We know City Lord Jing Yan holds the Pill Formula for Qianhe Zhenye, but with the strength of Hongmeng City, the number of Qianhe Zhenye you can refine is far, far too small. Yet if the Eight Gods Pill Sect refines Qianhe Zhenye, that would be comparatively much easier. City Lord Jing Yan, you wouldn’t need to contribute any materials at all, yet could obtain a large quantity of formed Qianhe Zhenye according to an agreed profit-sharing ratio.”

”We also have a second cooperation plan, which is for the Eight Gods Pill Sect and Tianji Trading House to jointly offer a price to purchase the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye. The price will be extremely, extremely high. We will do our utmost to make City Lord Jing Yan satisfied.” Ge Yi said slowly.

Two cooperation methods.

One is to hand the Pill Formula over to the Eight Gods Pill Sect and let the Eight Gods Pill Sect do the refining. After the Elixirs are refined, they are distributed according to a certain ratio. Hongmeng City can obtain a portion of the Elixirs from the Eight Gods Pill Sect, and of course, Tianji Trading House also has a share. The other method is for Tianji Trading House and the Eight Gods Pill Sect to jointly purchase the Pill Formula from Jing Yan. In that case, the Qianhe Zhenye refined by the Eight Gods Pill Sect would no longer be divided with Hongmeng City.
