Chapter 650: Chapter 311: Truly Unimportant, Above Deck or Below (Part 2)
They are indeed different, but they have also been carefully selected and bred over generations.
Half a month?
Isn’t that sothing that happens in the blink of an eye?
Master Qian saw that they were about to break down, seed a bit guilty, and said softly, “Uh…actually, it’s eighteen days.”
Song Sect Leader twitched at the corner of his mouth, as if not comforted at all.
Seeing that they couldn’t say a word, Zhang seized the opportunity to speak:
“Song Sect Leader, my junior brother has always been straightforward and clear in his actions. I won’t hide it from you—our Jiushan Sect is urgently lacking talent in the Alchemy Dao.”
Song Sect Leader and those from the Qingmu Sect listened intently.
“That’s why we invited you to visit us.”
“The herbs in this dicine Garden were just planted a few days ago with great care.”
“In simple terms, we are thirsting for talented individuals.”
Elder Xiong’s expression showed a slight hint of being moved, seemingly touched by Zhang’s straightforwardness.
Even Master Qian was sowhat surprised.
Zhang’s posture was indeed sowhat humble, especially considering her usually proud nature.
Zhang bore an earnest expression.
She really wasn’t the type to bow her head to others, but now her junior brother was waiting for talent in the Alchemy Dao to refine pills and perfect the ‘Jiushan Golden Core Technique,’ which in turn was related to Zheng Fa’s Nascent Soul formation…
She flipped open her ledger again, pointing to the test field, saying:
“We’ve calculated, the Fu Yao Leaves in this dicine Garden, for a ten-year cycle, we can supply them at a rate of five Spirit Stones per five grams.”
“The Star Spotting Grass is a bit more expensive…”
Song Sect Leader listened, secretly calculating in his heart, this price was 30% lower than if they cultivated it themselves!
So were even just half of the original price!
Zhang closed the ledger, seeming a bit dissatisfied: “Master Qian’s cultivation and improvent of these herbs have just begun. In the future, the price should be even lower.”
Even lower?
Song Sect Leader’s heart was trembling, looking eagerly at Master Qian.
Such herb cultivation prowess could make sects like the Qingmu Sect, which specializes in the Alchemy Dao, bow and call them immortal.
Unfortunately, this was the immortal of the Jiushan Sect.
Or rather, he understood clearly.
Zhang showed them the workshop first, then the dicine Garden. Everywhere they looked, they saw a dazzling array of Spirit Stones!
Endless custors, inexpensive and high-quality herbs.
All encapsulated in the four words of ‘technological alliance.’
He couldn’t help but glance at Elder Xiong next to him.
Unexpectedly, Elder Xiong wasn’t looking at him but was staring dumbfoundedly at the Star Spotting Grass.
Noticing his gaze, Elder Xiong looked back at him and cursed: “He can cultivate this in eighteen days…how can we not join and wait for death?”
Song Sect Leader was taken aback.
Suddenly, he understood what his senior elder ant.
He only saw the benefits of joining, but Elder Xiong saw the drawbacks of not joining:
If the Qingmu Sect couldn’t obtain cheap and high-quality Spiritual dicine from Jiushan Sect, while other sects could, the result would be…
The cost of their pills would be crushed into the ground by others!
Forget about reviving the Qingmu Sect, just surviving in the future would be a big problem.
“This ancestral doctrine…”
“I know several Ancestor Masters, I’ll tell them when I die!”
“…”
This logic was indeed valid.
The Qingmu Sect was established less than twenty thousand years ago; this elder had truly t the Ancestor Master.
He would still be a respectable figure down there…
Seeing that even the most opposing Elder Xiong agreed, Song Sect Leader cupped his hands towards Zhang and said, “Master Zhang, we are willing to join this technological alliance.”
Zhang nodded, her expression quite friendly: “Then, follow to et Junior Brother Zheng and sign a treaty.”
Song Sect Leader was also used to it, and followed Zhang towards the Rainbow Bridge, moving towards the depths of Gongkai Island—Gongkai Island was the so-called Jiushan Sect’s industrial production base.
Seeing Zhang’s courteous manner, he gained more courage and asked while walking, “Master Zhang? Is our Qingmu Sect the first sect to join the technological alliance?”
Zhang glanced at him with a half-smile, “No, the first to join was the Golden Light Sect.”
He knew the Golden Light Sect, a Golden Core sect with so proficiency in the talismanic Dao.
That made sense; in terms of the talismanic Dao, Jiushan Sect was already at the forefront of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. Talismanic Dao sects wouldn’t fear the leaking of ancestral Secret Techniques.
He felt sowhat disappointed in his heart.
Indeed, they were overly reserved after all.
“Then amongst the Nascent Soul sects, are we the first?”
“No, the Su Nu Sect was the first.”
…
The Su Nu Sect, a group engaged in the flesh trade, was indeed not reserved at all!
“For this inspection, we only invited you and the Chongxuan Sect. The Su Nu Sect ca on their own initiative.”
When Zhang ntioned the word ‘initiative’, her expression was quite peculiar.
As a female cultivator, she didn’t have much goodwill towards the Su Nu Sect, but the problem was that they were too savvy…
She had no choice but to admire them; in reading human minds, the Su Nu Sect…really was ahead of everyone else.
Song Sect Leader couldn’t care less about muttering about the Su Nu Sect anymore.
His voice suddenly quieted down.
“Then the Chongxuan Sect…”
“Politely and tactfully declined.”
Zhang still bore a smile on her face.
But this smile made Song Sect Leader quietly lower his head, not daring to speak anymore.
…
Upon stepping onto Gongkai Island, the first sight was twelve towering…sugared gourds.
Out of curiosity, Song Sect Leader mustered the courage to ask again, “What are those?”
“Outer elixir factory.”
“Factory?”
Zhang didn’t elaborate further, simply leading them forward.
Zheng Fa was standing under one of the sugared gourds, quietly discussing sothing with Lady Xuanhua.
Zhang had brought the resource data of the Jiushan Realm, and the six major industries of the Jiushan Realm were formally on the agenda.
Among them, the three most important industries on Gongkai Island were:
Talisman, outer elixir, and Shenxiao Flying Boat—oh, now it can be called shipbuilding industry.
