Chapter 549 Yunhai Sect
Not only did the two sides send disciples to each other's families to learn and exchange experiences, but they also jointly funded the establishment of a large-scale trade market to promote trade between the two sides.
In addition, the two sides also joined forces to form a powerful coalition to fight against some family forces that were disobedient to discipline and rule.
It can be said that with the joint efforts of both parties, the relationship between Bluestone City and Heiwu City has become closer and closer.
Of course, all this is based on mutual trust and respect between both parties.
The Luo family did not look down upon the Liang family because of their strength, but instead gave the Liang family enough respect and support.
The same is true for the Liang family. They did not feel jealous or fearful because of the Luo family's power. Instead, they chose to work hand in hand with the Luo family.
It can be said that at this moment, the alliance between Bluestone City and Heiwu City has been initially formed.
And all of this is thanks to Luo Tianqiong and Luo Yao.
It was their outstanding performance and outstanding wisdom that enabled the Luo family to rise on this land in a short period of time and reach cooperation with top family forces like the Liang family.
Of course, Luo Tianqiong and Luo Yao were not complacent or complacent about all these achievements and honors.
They understand that this is just the beginning.
The real challenges and tests are still waiting for them.
Therefore, they did not relax their vigilance and efforts.
Instead, he continued to maintain a modest and prudent attitude, and constantly worked hard to improve himself and the Luo family's strength and heritage.
They believe that as long as they maintain this attitude and spirit, no matter what challenges and tests they will face in the future, they will be able to successfully cope with it and get through it smoothly.
Time flies by like water, and months pass in the blink of an eye.
In the past few months, the cooperation between the Luo family and the Liang family has been progressing very smoothly.
The two sides not only sent more disciples to each other's family to learn and exchange experiences, but also jointly expanded the scale of the large trade market, making the trade between the two sides more frequent and closer.
In addition, the two sides have also jointly organized multiple military exercises and joint operations to enhance the overall strength and combat effectiveness of the coalition forces.
It can be said that with the joint efforts of both parties, the alliance between Bluestone City and Heiwu City has become more and more stable and powerful.
However, such behavior is good news for the Luo family and the Liang family in Qingshi City.
But for other family forces or sect forces in this land, it is not necessarily good news.
In this world, resources have always been fixed.
If you occupy the majority, the resources available to other forces will become increasingly scarce.
And that one is located about 15,000 miles away from Qingshi City, in a city called Nanxin City. Yunhai Sect is the absolute overlord of Nanxin City and that area.
Its interests have gradually suffered considerable losses due to the interaction between the Luo family and the Liang family in Qingshi City.
South New City, Yunhai Sect.
In a heavily guarded hall.
At this time, Nan Yi, the current city lord of Nan Xincheng, was sitting silently on the main seat with a silent face.
And the elders of other sects in Yunhai Sect, the absolute overlord of Nanxin City.
At this time, people were sitting on the seats in this hall.
The atmosphere seemed a bit heavy, and everyone's eyes were focused on Nan Yi who was in the main seat.
As the city lord of Nanxin City and the sect leader of Yunhai Sect, Nan Yi is well aware of all the developments in the territory.
He is naturally aware that the recent close cooperation between the Luo family of Bluestone City and the Liang family of Black Martial City has had a considerable impact on the interests of their Yunhai Sect.
"Sect Master, we must take action."
A tall and sinister Yunhai Sect elder said in a deep voice.
"Action? How to act?"
Nan Yi raised his head and glanced around the crowd with lightning eyes: "The Luo family and the Liang family have joined forces, and their strength cannot be underestimated. If we act rashly, we will only alert the enemy and make the two families more closely united. "
"But we can't just watch them encroach on our interests."
Another elder said somewhat reluctantly.
"Cannibalizing? Huh, they don't have that ability yet." Nan Yi sneered, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Although the two of them have joined forces, it is still very early to shake the status of our Yunhai Sect."
"What does the sect master mean?"
Someone asked tentatively.
"Just wait and see what happens." Nan Yi slowly spat out four words: "Now the two of them are in the honeymoon period of cooperation. If we act rashly, it will only make them more united. We might as well just watch them quietly and wait for them. When there are cracks in the cooperation between us, it is not too late for us to take action."
"But what if the two of them have been cooperating continuously?" Someone raised a concern.
"Perfect cooperation?" A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Nan Yi's mouth: "In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Although the two of them are working closely together now, one day, due to uneven distribution of interests, As for conflicts, we just need to wait patiently for that day to arrive, and then defeat them in one fell swoop."
"Good opinion, Sect Master." Everyone agreed.
"Okay, this matter has been decided." Nan Yi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to step back: "You all go back and prepare well. Once there is an opportunity, we must be able to seize it."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, and then exited the hall one by one.
Nan Yi watched everyone leave with a meaningful smile on his face.
He knew that this game had just begun, and the real contest was yet to come.
He believed that as long as the Yunhai Sect could maintain enough patience and vigilance, they would be the ones to win in the end.
Time passed slowly in this undercurrent.
The cooperation between Qingshi City and Heiwu City is also constantly deepening and strengthening.
Near Qingshi City and Heiwu City.
Inside a large trading market called Qinghei.
At this time, the atmosphere in this trading market was extremely hot.
Countless ordinary people or practitioners are conducting various transactions in this trading market.
After all, this is a large-scale trade market in Qinghei.
It is a large trading market established by the two top family forces, the Luo family, the absolute overlord of Bluestone City, and the Liang family, the absolute overlord of Black Martial City.
A trading market like this must be extremely safe, and no one would dare to cause trouble here easily.
Therefore, this trade market is full of people every day.
In a corner of the trade market, a young man in Tsing Yi was standing there quietly. His eyes fell on a stall where some ordinary-looking stones were placed.
The young man's name is Luo Xuan, and he is one of the direct descendants of the Luo family.
Although he is young, there is a sharp and intelligent light in his eyes, as if he can see through all hypocrisy and appearances.
Luo Xuan was not in a hurry to ask about the price or choose stones, but carefully observed every stone on the stall.
He knew that these seemingly ordinary stones might contain precious spiritual minerals or elixirs, or some other rare materials.
And these materials are priceless treasures for practitioners.
Therefore, he must proceed with caution lest he miss something good.
In this way, Luo Xuan stood quietly in front of the stall for a long time, until the stall owner became a little impatient, and he finally asked: "How to sell these stones?"
The stall owner glanced at Luo Xuan and found that he was just a young boy. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he still replied politely: "I dug these stones from the mountains with hard work, and every one of them They all contain precious spiritual minerals or elixirs, so they are expensive."
"Oh? Then can you tell me what kind of spiritual minerals or elixirs these stones contain?"
Luo Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly.
When the stall owner heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he still answered bravely: "This...I don't know the specifics, but I can guarantee that there are definitely good things in these stones."
"Haha, good stuff? Can the stall owner tell me whether these so-called "good stuff" are worth the price?"
Luo Xuan suddenly laughed and looked directly into the stall owner's eyes.
The stall owner felt a little guilty under Luo Xuan's gaze, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Well... I believe in my vision. These stones are definitely worth the price."
"Really?" Luo Xuan's mouth raised a playful smile: "Then I wonder if the stall owner can let me inspect the goods first?"
The stall owner hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll let you inspect the goods first."
With that said, he took out the stones one by one and placed them in front of Luo Xuan.
When Luo Xuan saw this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Because he had already seen a hint of something wrong and guilty in the stall owner's hesitant expression and movements.
And this is exactly what he wants.
Because this means that these stones may indeed contain some rare materials, but the stall owner himself is not sure.
At that moment, Luo Xuan began to examine these stones carefully.
He first gently rubbed the surface of each stone with his hands, feeling their texture and weight, and then used his spiritual power to penetrate them and explore their inner conditions.
After a moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Because he has discovered that one of the stones actually contains a rare spiritual mineral called "Xuanhuang Stone"!
This kind of spiritual mineral is one of the best materials for refining high-level magic weapons, and it is extremely valuable!
At that moment, Luo Xuan had already made a decision in his heart. He wanted to buy this stone!
However, he was not in a hurry to show it, but continued to pretend to be dissatisfied, put the stones back on the stall one by one, and then said calmly: "These stones... don't seem to be in line with me. Request, I’d better check out other stalls.”
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
When the stall owner saw this, he suddenly felt anxious and said quickly: "Wait! Sir, since you are not satisfied with these stones, how about we trade in another way?"
"Oh? Another way to trade?" Luo Xuan stopped and looked back at the stall owner: "Then tell me, how can I change the way?"
The stall owner gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, one of my stones does contain a rare spiritual mineral, but I am not sure what it is. If the young master If you are really interested, I am willing to transfer it to you at a low price, how about it?"
When Luo Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but he said calmly: "Oh? Then tell me, how much is this stone worth?"
The stall owner hesitated for a moment, then stretched out five fingers: "Five hundred taels of gold."
Five hundred taels of gold? This may be a huge sum of money for an ordinary family, but it is nothing to a top family power like the Luo family.
However, Luo Xuan did not agree immediately, but continued to pretend to be hesitant: "This price... seems a bit high."
Seeing this, the stall owner couldn't help scolding Luo Xuan for not being polite, but he still said quickly: "Sir, this is the lowest price I can give. If you are really interested, please decide as soon as possible Bar."
Seeing this, Luo Xuan knew that the stall owner was in a hurry, so he stopped delaying and nodded directly and said: "Okay, then five hundred taels of gold. I want this stone."
With that said, he took out a five hundred tael of gold silver note from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner smiled immediately after taking the banknote, and quickly handed the stone containing black yellow stone to Luo Xuan: "Young Master has a good eye! This stone is definitely worth the price!"
Luo Xuan didn't say much, just smiled faintly, then turned around and left the trade market with the stone.
He knew that he had made a big mistake this time.
If this stone containing Xuanhuang Stone was sold on the market, I am afraid it could be sold for at least tens of thousands of taels, or even dozens of low-grade spiritual stones!
But he bought it for only five hundred taels of gold.
Of course, this is also due to his keen observation and rich experience, as well as his understanding of spiritual minerals and elixirs.
He believes that as long as he continues to practice hard and study hard, he will become an even better practitioner in the future and bring greater glory and benefits to his family.
With such belief and determination, Luo Xuan left the trade market and returned to the Luo family's mansion.
He did not immediately study the stone containing black yellow stone, but carefully put it into his storage ring before returning to his room.
He knew that this stone was extremely valuable and must be handled with care.
Therefore, he planned to consult with the elders in the family or some experienced practitioners to see how he could extract the black stone from this stone and maximize its value. (End of chapter)
