After sighing, Zhao Hai directly went to the Tide-watching Gang's branch in this small city. Naturally, the people in that branch all knew of Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai told them to keep it a secret. Then, he directly went to the Sword Defense Sect.
After arriving at the Sword Defense Sect, Zhao Hai changed back to his original identity. Then, he looked at the jade slip that Qing Lan gave him. There was a seal on the jade slip. However, because it was given to him, when he touched it with his spirit power, the seal disappeared. The content of the jade slip was nothing more than that. The people from the Iron Buddha Temple wanted to establish a shop in their territory and asked for his help. There was nothing else mentioned.
Zhao Hai put away the jade slip and directly called Wen Wenhai and the others to his study room. After sitting down, Zhao Hai looked to Wen Wenhai and the others and said, "The Iron Buddha Temple wants to establish a shop in the buffer zone. Then, they will slowly extend their hands to the Southern Sea. However, their target is the seventy-two islands in the Southern Sea and not the buffer zone. Do you all have any objections?"
Wen Wenhai frowned and said, "Boss, this matter is not easy to handle. They want to establish a shop in the buffer zone because they want to establish a base here. However, if we really allow them to establish a base here, then it would be even more convenient for them to do anything to the buffer zone in the future. Furthermore, if they were to place their shop in the buffer zone, I fear that they would discover our secret in the future. That would be even more troublesome."
The others also nodded their heads. They all had the same idea as Wen Wenhai. Zhao Hai took a glance at them and said, "I also know that. However, if those large sects were to all come in, then even if we wanted to stop them, we would not be able to. Thus, I think that we should allow them to come in. However, we still need to make some preparations. I want to establish a small city in the Cyanwood Mountain. All of the large sects that want to establish shops in the buffer zone should gather there and have them set up their shops there. The shops will be managed by us and we will collect a portion of the fees.
Wen Wenhai thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "That's a good idea, I think it's possible. However, we still need to think about how big the city should be and how it should be built."
Zhao Hai lightly smiled and said, "What I mean is that we are only going to divide the Cyanwood Mountain into a free trade zone. All of the sects and schools that wish to set up shops there are allowed to choose a location to set up their shops. We will only charge a fee. At the same time, we are going to set up two spirit formation formations there. These two spirit formation formations, one for the inside and one for the outside. At the same time, we are going to set up a Flight Restriction Formation that will cover the entire Cyanwood Mountain. What do you think?"
When Wen Wenhai heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he said, "Boss, what you mean is that once the people from the Great Sects make a move, we should immediately activate the formation and trap them inside. This would buy us some time?" Zhao Hai nodded. Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "You mean that once the people from the Great Sects make a move, we should immediately activate the formation and trap them inside.
Wen Wenhai had followed Zhao Hai for a very long time now. Thus, he knew Zhao Hai very well. Thus, he immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I meant."
Wen Wenhai thought for a moment and then said, "That's good. We can use you to spread this matter out. Like this, the people from the other Great Sects might also come. They should also know that if such a market were to truly be set up, it would bring them quite a bit of income. Most importantly, once they have their own shops, it would be equivalent to them having a small base here. I believe that they would be happy to do so."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "How about this. As for me, I'll immediately go to the Iron Buddha Temple. You all can properly plan out the Cyanwood Mountain and set up the spirit formations. Remember, the most important thing is the teleportation formation. Furthermore, plan out the Cyanwood Mountain. Write down the maximum size of each shop and how much they should charge. Also, leave a place for us to set up a free market so that some rogue cultivators can set up stalls there."
Wen Wenhai and the others had frequently done these things back in the Bewitching Empire. Thus, they were naturally very familiar with it now. There was no problem at all. Thus, Wen Wenhai merely nodded and agreed to it.
Zhao Hai directly left the Sword Defense Sect and changed his appearance to Jing Hai's. Then, he sat on the teleportation formation and returned to the Iron Buddha Temple. Once he arrived at the Iron Buddha Temple, Zhao Hai immediately went to Na Yun's courtyard. Na Yun was currently waiting for his news. Once he heard that Zhao Hai had returned, he immediately invited Zhao Hai into his courtyard.
After the two of them sat down, Na Yun immediately asked, "How was it?"
Zhao Hai replied, "The Green Mist Sect didn't agree. They said that their biggest city, Green Mist City, had been destroyed by the flames of war. All of their shops had been moved to other cities. Because of this, they didn't have any shops for us. They wrote a letter to the Sword Imperial Sect, telling me that they don't want us to develop there. After that, we took the letter and went to the Sword Imperial Sect. The Sword Imperial Sect gave us a reply. They said that they can't give us any of their shops, but they can give us a piece of land. I asked them about it carefully and they said that they can divide a small mountain under the Sword Imperial Sect's jurisdiction into a free trade zone. They won't be responsible for construction, but they will be responsible for managing it. If we want to build a shop there, we would need to pay them a fee for the site as well as a management fee every year. After that, we can build our own shops there. It's not only us, any sect in the Sword Spirit Realm can build a shop there. However, we have to build our own shops there."
Na Yun frowned. He thought for a bit and then said with a deep voice, "The Sword Defense Sect's proposal is pretty good. Right now, there are too many sects that want to extend their hands into the buffer zone. Even if they wanted to, they would not be able to stop them. Thus, they thought of this method. They wanted to set the Cyanwood Mountain as a free trade zone. This way, all of the sects' shops would be concentrated there. It would also be easier for them to monitor. However, if this free trade zone is truly established, it would be pretty good. Did they really say that all of the Sword Defense Sect's sects could set up shops there? What about the Seventy-two Islands of the Southern Sea? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "They did not say anything about that. However, I think that if the Seventy-two Islands of the Southern Sea were to set up shops there, they might not oppose it."
Nuan Yun nodded, then he thought for a moment before he said, "I think it's feasible. We can establish a store there. This is good news for us. Let's do it this way. You can contact the Sword Defense Sect and tell them that we can help them contact other sects and have them set up a store there. See if they can provide us with some convenient conditions. We'll pay the normal fees, but we want a bigger place. Let's see if they can give us that."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. In that case, I'll go right now."
Na Yun waved his hand and said, "Wait, don't be anxious. Rest for a couple days first. I'll contact the people from the other sects and see if I can confirm a few sects and have them set up shops there. That way, when you go and negotiate with them, you'll have more confidence. Furthermore, if you were to go right now, they would definitely think that you're very impatient. If that were to happen, we would be at a disadvantage. It wouldn't be too late for us to return after a while."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he said, "Then I'll go back to the Listening Wave Pavilion to rest. Five days later, I'll go to the Sword Defense Sect. What does Senior Brother think?"
"Alright, then it's settled. Go and rest. Come back to me five days later." Zhao Hai nodded. Then he gave Na Yun a salute before he turned around and left.
After Zhao Hai returned to the Listening Wave Pavilion, he thought about it and went to Na Zhen's place to take a look. Na Zhen had been busy cultivating recently. He had also picked up the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. The most important thing was that he had the Power King Divine Art. With these two cultivation methods, his progress was very fast.
After chatting with Na Zhen, Zhao Hai returned to the Listening Wave Pavilion. After he returned to the Listening Wave Pavilion, Zhao Hai contacted Wen Wenhai and asked him how the preparations were going.
Wen Wenhai said that they had already begun to level the Cyanwood Mountain. Speaking of it, the Cyanwood Mountain was truly very peculiar. There were not many trees on the mountain. What there were were only some small trees. There was only a single large tree at the top of the mountain. This large tree was extremely large and cyan green in color. Its crown practically covered the entire Cyanwood Mountain. As for the origin of the Cyanwood Mountain, it was precisely because of this large tree.
However, other than this large tree, there was nothing else in the Cyanwood Mountain that could catch people's eyes. Right now, Wen Wenhai and the others were planning the Cyanwood Mountain. They were setting up spirit formations, teleportation arrays, dividing the area of the shops, dividing the streets and so on. All of these things had to be done properly.
After hearing what Wen Wenhai said, Zhao Hai felt relieved. Their Tide-watching Gang had a lot of people. He believed that they would be able to finish planning the Cyanwood Mountain in a couple days. At that time, even if people from other sects were to set up shops there, they would not have to worry about anything.
In the following days, Zhao Hai had been resting in the Iron Buddha Temple the entire time. At the same time, he had also been paying attention to the Tide-watching Gang's situation. The Cyanwood Mountain's progress was very smooth. The planning was very good. Furthermore, the spirit formations were about to be completed. Thus, Zhao Hai did not have to worry about anything.
Five days later, Zhao Hai arrived at Na Yun's room. Once he arrived at Na Yun's courtyard, he saw Na Yun sitting in the courtyard waiting for him. Seeing that he had arrived, Na Yun immediately said to Zhao Hai, "You've come. Quickly, come and have a seat." Zhao Hai nodded and walked over to sit down.
Na Yun also sat down. He turned around and said to Zhao Hai, "I've already managed to get in touch with other sects. Many large sects are willing to set up shops there. You can go and talk to the Jianyu Sect. This is the name list. These sects all want to go there. As long as you're done talking to them, they'll be able to go there immediately."
Zhao Hai nodded. He received the jade slip that Na Yun handed to him. The jade slip contained the names of all the sects. Although there weren't any top sects like the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect or the Heaven One Sect, there were still many sects like the Iron Buddha Temple. Even the Fengjian Sect was on the name list. This came as a surprise to Zhao Hai.
However, he did not say anything about it. He put away the jade slip, turned around and said to Na Yun, "Senior brother, I'll be going then. The sooner I'm done talking to them, the sooner we can set off. Otherwise, others might get ahead of us." Na Yun nodded. Only then did Zhao Hai turn around and leave.
When Zhao Hai returned to the Jianyu Sect, the Jianyu Sect's preparations were almost done. The ground had been flattened, the transmission formation had been set up, and the spirit formation had also been set up. The only thing that wasn't done yet was the Forbidden Space Formation. However, the Forbidden Space Formation was almost done, it should be finished by today.
Zhao Hai was very satisfied with Wen Wenhai and the others' speed. Naturally, this was also thanks to Laura and the others. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to finish the formation in such a short time.
After that, Zhao Hai discussed the planning of the Cyanwood Mountain with Wen Wenhai and the others. There were also some management issues. Zhao Hai had already decided that the management of the Cyanwood Mountain would be handled by the Jianyu Sect. Actually, management was just ordinary management, maintaining order and nothing more.
After the discussion, Zhao Hai returned to the Iron Buddha Temple and went to Na Yun's place. After the two sat down, Zhao Hai turned to Na Yun and said, "Senior Brother, I've already talked to the people from the Sword Imperial Sect. They said that although the Cyanwood Mountain already has a plan for the size of each store, if you want a bigger store, then you just need to pay a fee. Naturally, we don't need to pay that fee. We can build a space that's no more than five times the size of a normal store and build our own store. I've seen one, five times the size of a normal store is already not small. It's about ten zhang wide, it's already very big."
Na Yun nodded and said, "Alright, then this matter is settled. Jing Hai, I think I'll leave this matter to you. I'll have my people help you set up the shop as soon as possible. If you need anything, just say it. Remember, be quick. Right, what do you think we should sell there?" Na Yun nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll leave this matter to Jing Hai.
I heard that the Imperial Sword Sect produces a lot of medicinal herbs. Although these herbs aren't very expensive, our Temple still uses a lot of them. Most importantly, these herbs are very cheap. I've already told them that we'll be buying a lot of them from them in the future to strengthen our cooperation. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," I've already told them that we'll be buying a lot of herbs from them in the future to strengthen the cooperation between our two sides. "
"Good, good job!" When Na Yun heard Zhao Hai, his eyes couldn't help but light up as he said, "As long as we strengthen our cooperation with the Jianyu Sect, not to mention medicinal herbs, we can even buy useless stones. You've done a good job this time."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That's nothing. The Jianyu Sect also needs a lot of things, especially some metals. They don't need precious metals, just ordinary metals. They want to refine their own artifacts. I've already told them that we can use metals to exchange for their medicinal herbs. What do you think, Senior Brother?"
"No problem, of course there's no problem. Our Iron Buddha Temple's metals are famous in the Sword Spirit Realm. They'll be getting a lot of benefits this time. Right, take their medicinal herbs to the Alchemy Hall and see if they're willing to cooperate."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he gave Na Yun a salute. Then he turned around and left Na Yun's courtyard, heading towards the Alchemy Hall.
