Farming, raising monsters, cultivating immortals, and seeking immortality

"No." Nie Yuanzhi gave a straightforward answer.

He knew very well the importance of the word "master", so introducing Xiong Ziyang might be the most correct choice.

"Then please, Elder Nie."

"Please wait."

Nie Yuanzhi did not take the other party directly to the headmaster's hall on the top of Yinyue Mountain, but first contacted Chen Mo through the Yin-Yang sound transmission tube and repeated the other party's purpose and what happened before and after.

Only after getting the headmaster's consent did he take Xiong Ziyang, Liu Yulin and the other two.

On the top of Yinyue Mountain, Chen Mo was also surprised by the visit of these people.

If Liu Yulin and Liang Qiuyu had not seen each other for so many years and came here after hearing the news of Pingduzhou, it would be reasonable, but why did Xiong Ziyang, one of the heads of Zhenlong Pavilion and the city lord of Jingdu City, come?

Entering the headmaster's hall, Chen Mo, who was dressed simply, stood not far from the gate.

In Liu Yulin's eyes, he still looked calm and confident after not seeing him for many years. Thirteen years had not left any traces on him, but he looked younger and more energetic.

In Xiong Ziyang's eyes, this cultivator whom he wanted to meet more than ten years ago did look a little ordinary, but he knew that in the cultivation continent, the most important thing to look down on is the spiritual plant master.

"Lord Xiong! I have heard of your name for a long time!" Chen Mo took the initiative to step forward and clasped his fists.

"General Chen! I wonder if the Lingtian Secret Realm is pleasing to you?"

Xiong Ziyang's question made Chen Mo suddenly realize that he understood it in an instant. He looked at Liang Qiuyu and asked, "Was it City Lord Xiong who asked me to go to the auction?"

"That's right."

"Thank you City Lord Xiong for the gift!" Chen Mo clasped his hands together and said politely, "The Lingtian Secret Realm is even more useful to me than the spiritual weapon!"

Xiong Ziyang smiled slightly, "General, it's good that you like it. At the beginning, due to the rules of Zhenlong Pavilion, it was not easy to buy it as a gift. Please forgive me for any shortcomings."

"What are you talking about, City Lord!"

The two of them exchanged pleasantries.

Chen Mo also gradually heard some of the other party's intentions, as if he was deliberately trying to get closer to the two of them, preparing to pave the way for the next business.

Finally, after chatting for a while, Xiong Ziyang changed the subject and said, "General Chen, I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it for me?"

"Please speak."

"How is your attainment in spiritual plants? Compared with Shennong Sect?"

This question made Chen Mo frown, but he still replied, "Sorry, Chen has not had the opportunity to go to Shennong Sect yet."

"General Chen's ability must be stronger than Shennong Sect!" Liang Qiuyu added, singing in unison, "Shennong Sect can't possibly produce tens of thousands of Panlong Fruits!"

"Fellow Daoist Liang, you can't say that. What is the size of Shennong Sect? What is the level of my Motai Mountain? How can they be compared?"

Chen Mo said modestly, he definitely wouldn't wear this high hat.

It was obvious that these two people just wanted to set him up so that he would have to agree after making a request later.

On the other side, Xiong Ziyang saw that he had guessed his intention, so he continued: "General, thank you for your care in the past few years."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, you have provided me with a lot of help."

"Zhenlong Pavilion is in a bad situation now, please help me!"

"Is it because of the Five Elements Business?" Chen Mo asked back.

"General knows?" Xiong Ziyang was a little surprised. After all, this is Zhongzhou's business, and the other party actually knows it.

"I know a little bit. Didn't Elder Nie promise you to provide you with a large amount of Panlong Fruit and Dazhu Fruit?"

"Yes, we are also very grateful to your sect, but..."

The other party seemed a little hesitant.

"You can say whatever you want, Lord."

"Although Panlong Fruit and Dazhu Fruit are rare, Five Elements Merchants also have them. They are backed by Shennong Sect. If they really want to suppress us, they have ways to do it."

Chen Mo was puzzled: "Then what can I do? These fifth-level spiritual plants are already my limit."

Xiong Ziyang's face showed a trace of bitterness: "I also know that my request may be a bit excessive, but this is probably the solution I can think of."

"Please speak."

"I wonder if your sect can sign a cooperation contract with us. In the future, spiritual plants can only be sold from Zhenlong Pavilion. How about it?"

"Cooperation contract?"

Chen Mo frowned.

The other party's real purpose seems to be related to the domesticated spiritual plants of Shennong Sect.

He learned from Huang Yu that Five Elements Merchants already has the exclusive right to operate these domesticated spiritual plants.

"That's right!"

"Lord Xiong, do you think we can also come up with new spiritual plants to sell?"

Xiong Ziyang was a little surprised: "Does the general know?"

Chen Mo smiled: "Bai Chutong's deeds have long been spread."

"I see, hey. Perhaps this is the general trend. Zhenlong Pavilion has been operating in Wuchi Country for more than ten thousand years, and has gradually reached its current level. I think it also had close cooperation with Shennong Sect in the past, but it seems that these immortal sects are unwilling to give up some of their interests."

Xiong Ziyang sighed, and his heart was full of helplessness.

"If you really want new spiritual plants, why not communicate with Mengying City?"

"We tried, but we can't do business in Beizhou." Liang Qiuyu replied.

He is the secretary of Beizhou. If it weren't for Chen Mo, he would probably have been removed now.

"I wonder if the general can consider it? We don't ask you what you are doing now, but we just want to give Zhenlong Pavilion a chance to turn over in the future."

Chen Mo did not answer directly, but thought for a long time before saying:

"This matter is of great importance, why don't you let me think about it? How about you three take a day off in the city?"

"Of course, I hope the general will consider it carefully! Zhenlong Pavilion sincerely cooperates with the general!"

"Okay."

After sending the three away, Chen Mo arranged Li Tingyi to receive them, leaving Nie Yuanzhi alone.

Nie Yuanzhi participated in the conversation just now, but he did not say a word when the headmaster spoke.

But not speaking is respect, not that there is no idea.

"What do you think?"

"If there is a third-party perspective, the move of Zhenlong Pavilion should be regarded as desperate." Nie Yuanzhi said with a smile, "But in our opinion, they are really a blind cat that stumbles upon a dead mouse."

"Haha, we are not dead mice."

"The words are not rough."

"But it is true. Then do you think you should cooperate?"

"My suggestion is that we can cooperate, but it depends on what price they offer!" Nie Yuanzhi added, "In addition, in the current situation, taking out the Seven Emotions Life and Death Flower may not be a bad thing for us."

"Why do you say that?" Chen Mo asked back.

"Shennong Sect has not moved for so many years, but at this time, they moved out Bai Chutong and started selling newly domesticated spiritual plants. They must have their considerations. And at this time, if we cross the way, it will definitely disrupt their rhythm."

"What if they hate us?"

"It depends on the price of Tianbao Zhenlong Pavilion." (End of this chapter)
