Zhao Hai entered the Alchemy Hall of the Iron Buddha Temple. For a sect as big as the Iron Buddha Temple, it was impossible for them to not have their own Alchemy Hall. Their Alchemy Hall was divided into the Inner Hall and the Outer Hall. The Inner Hall refined high grade pills while the Outer Hall refined very ordinary pills.
Zhao Hai came to the Outer Hall this time because the herbs he brought from the Tidewatering Gang were very ordinary. Only the Alchemy Hall's Outer Hall's people would use them, the Inner Hall's people wouldn't.
The Alchemy Hall of the Iron Buddha Temple was located in a large courtyard of the temple. This courtyard was very big, and there were even people guarding the entrance. When Zhao Hai arrived at the entrance, two disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple immediately stopped Zhao Hai and said, "Senior Brother, please show your identity card."
In the Alchemy Hall of the Iron Buddha Temple, one needed to show their identity card to enter. As long as one was a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple, then one couldn't enter. However, one could only enter the Outer Hall, not just anyone could enter the Inner Hall, even if one had an identity card.
Zhao Hai entered the Alchemy Hall. Upon entering the Alchemy Hall, he immediately smelled the fragrance of herbs. This smell wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either. At the same time, he could see a lot of disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple going in and out of the rooms. They looked very busy.
Zhao Hai looked around, then he directly went to the room in the middle of the Alchemy Hall. This was because Zhao Hai could see the cabinets inside the room. It was obvious that this was where the herbs were stored.
When Zhao Hai entered the room, he immediately attracted the attention of the monks inside. These monks were busy with their own matters, but when they saw Zhao Hai, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
One must know that Zhao Hai's name was very famous in the Iron Buddha Temple. A lot of Iron Buddha Temple disciples knew about him. Now that they saw him arrive, they couldn't help but curiously look at him. They didn't know why such an influential figure of the sect would come here.
At this time, a middle-aged monk came over. This monk looked to be around 40 years old. When he arrived in front of Zhao Hai, he clasped his hands together and said, "I've seen Martial Nephew Jing Hai. How come you have time to visit our Alchemy Hall today?"
Zhao Hai quickly said, "I've seen Martial Uncle. Martial Uncle, I came here today to show you some herbs. These are all common herbs. I want you to take a look and see if our sect needs them." After saying that, Zhao Hai took out some herbs and handed them over to the middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk took the herbs that Zhao Hai handed over. He looked at them and smelled them. Then he nodded and said, "These herbs should be planted. But they are planted very well. Their medicinal properties are very good, they can be used. Where did you get these herbs? Our sect has a huge demand for such medicinal herbs. "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Recently, our sect wants to cooperate with a small sect in the buffer zone. They produce these herbs and want to use them to trade with us. Therefore, I brought these herbs over to Martial Uncle to see. If our sect can use them, then we can cooperate with them. If our sect can't use them, then we won't cooperate with them."
The middle-aged monk nodded and said, "We can cooperate. If their herbs are of this quality, then there wouldn't be any problems. Martial Nephew can rest assured."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "With Martial Uncle's words, I'm relieved. Then we can proceed with the cooperation."
"Of course, Martial Nephew can rest assured." The monk looked at Zhao Hai and said.
Zhao Hai nodded, then he thanked the monk before turning around to leave. Zhao Hai really didn't know this monk, he didn't have any dealings with him before. There were hundreds of thousands of monks in the Iron Buddha Temple, it was impossible for him to know every single one of them. Therefore, it was normal for him to not know this monk.
Zhao Hai went to Na Yun and told him about the matter. When Na Yun heard that the herbs could be used, he immediately agreed to the deal with Zhao Hai. Naturally, Zhao Hai agreed. He stayed in the Listening Wave Pavilion for a night before returning to the Sword Imperial Sect.
Once Zhao Hai returned to the Sword Imperial Sect, he immediately settled the matter of the cooperation between the two sects. To Zhao Hai, this matter was actually very simple. As long as there were no problems with the Iron Buddha Temple, everything else would be settled with a single word from him.
After the cooperation between the two sects was settled, Zhao Hai immediately returned to the Iron Buddha Temple. Firstly, he wanted to inform Na Yun of the good news. Secondly, he wanted to transfer people from the Iron Buddha Temple to construct their shops.
The reason for that was because the Tide-watching Gang had already said that they would not care about the buildings in the free trade zone. If anyone wanted to build a shop there, they would have to find people to build it themselves. Thus, if the Iron Buddha Temple wanted to build a shop there, they would have to build it themselves.
Zhao Hai was not worried about this. The Iron Buddha Temple already had odd-job disciples in charge of this. He could just have them do it. After the cooperation between the two sects was settled, Zhao Hai directly transferred a group of odd-job disciples to construct their own shops in the Cyanwood Mountain.
Other than the Iron Buddha Temple, the other sects that Na Yun had contacted also went to the free trade zone to construct their own shops. The Sword Imperial Sect only symbolically collected some land use fees and management fees before allowing them to construct their own shops.
This news soon spread out. Not long after, the entire Sword Spirit World heard about this matter. This caused some of the smaller sects to be tempted. The people from those smaller sects knew very well that if everyone were to go there to do business, they would be able to interact with each other a lot more. The things that their sects lacked would be able to be sold directly there. There would be no need for them to run all over the place. To them, this was extremely convenient.
In an instant, there were many sects that came to the Sword Imperial Sect to discuss setting up shops in the free trade zone. As for the people from the Sword Imperial Sect, they all had the same requirements. First, they would have to pay a certain amount of land use fees. In the future, they would only have to pay some management fees every year. Secondly, they would have to construct their own shops and submit to the management of the Sword Imperial Sect. As long as they could accomplish all of these, they would be able to establish their own shops in the Cyanwood Mountain.
After this news spread out, many sects directly agreed to it. Then, they directly constructed the locations where they wanted to construct their shops. Then, they had people from their sects come and construct their shops there. In an instant, the entire Cyanwood Mountain became bustling with noise and excitement. People could be seen all over the Cyanwood Mountain.
This news also caused an uproar in the entire Sword Spirit World. In the end, it was not only the Southern Sea's Seventy-two Oceanic Islands that wanted to construct shops in the Cyanwood Mountain. Naturally, the Sword Imperial Sect also agreed to it. They treated everyone equally.
Zhao Hai and the others' actions also caused an uproar in the buffer zone. They truly did not expect that Zhao Hai would actually create a free trade zone. This was something that no one had expected.
After Qing Lan heard this news, he stayed in his study for an entire afternoon. He did not see anyone. Originally, he had wanted to use the matter of the Iron Buddha Temple to suppress the Sword Imperial Sect. However, he did not expect that Zhao Hai would instead use this matter to directly create a free trade zone. Although this free trade zone did not appear to be anything special, and the Sword Imperial Sect did not collect management fees every year, Qing Lan knew very well that with this free trade zone, the entire Sword Imperial Sect would be different. It could even be said that they would have an additional protective talisman.
One must not underestimate a free trade zone. Not only would it bring a lot of benefits to the Sword Imperial Sect, it would also make it much more convenient for the Sword Imperial Sect to purchase goods. Furthermore, if there were people who wanted to take care of the Sword Imperial Sect in the future, they would have no choice but to consider the free trade zone. That was because all the major sects had set up shops there. If someone were to truly attack the free trade zone, then they would have to wait for the retaliation of the major sects. It could be said that this matter was only beneficial to the Sword Imperial Sect.
As for the arrival of the Seventy-two Oceanic Islands and the Demon Domain's sects, it was also something that no one expected. The Seventy-two Oceanic Islands had just finished a great battle with the buffer zone. Furthermore, they had suffered a great loss. Yet, they actually decided to set up shops there. Furthermore, the Sword Imperial Sect actually agreed to it. This was truly unexpected.
There was no need to even mention the Demon Domain. Although the Demon Domain's sects had a certain amount of interaction with the Righteous Sects in the past few years, this interaction had never been deep. Both sides were extremely controlling.
Yet now, the Demon Domain had actually set up shops in the free trade zone. This was equivalent to them extending their hands into the buffer zone. Their interaction with the Righteous Sects would also deepen. Although their interaction would be in the buffer zone, it was still a good start.
Due to the fact that so many sects had arrived, the Cyanwood Mountain was unable to hold them. Even the foot of the Cyanwood Mountain had been set up. Soon after, Zhao Hai proposed that the representatives of the various sects in the Cyanwood Mountain form a chamber of commerce. This chamber of commerce would be led by the Sword Imperial Sect. However, the Sword Imperial Sect would only be in charge of managing the free trade zone. If there were any other disputes in the free trade zone, the chamber of commerce could step forward to mediate and resolve them. This was equivalent to giving the chamber of commerce a great deal of authority. As for the Sword Imperial Sect, they would only be in charge of managing the free trade zone. They would not be in charge of managing the shops. Instead, they would be in charge of maintaining the order of the free trade zone. They would be in charge of managing the free trade zone to a certain extent. As for the chamber of commerce, they would only be in charge of managing the free trade zone.
With the Sword Imperial Sect's delegation of authority, the originally unstable free trade zone immediately stabilized. That was because the Sword Imperial Sect was, after all, the smallest sect in the free trade zone. If they were to continue to cling onto their authority, they would definitely bring about the dissatisfaction of the other large sects. At that time, it would truly be hard to say what would happen to the free trade zone.
However, now that the Sword Imperial Sect had delegated their authority, they had given a portion of their authority to the large sects. Those large sects did not care about paying a bit of management fee. Furthermore, now that they possessed authority, they would naturally not have any objections. The entire free trade zone was immediately on the right track. In fact, it had even become even more stable. The establishment of the free trade zone had also attracted countless cultivators. There was also a free trade market in the free trade zone. It was there for the loose cultivators to set up their stalls. That was where the Sword Imperial Sect's main source of income came from.
