Wu Kong returned to the shop and asked the shop assistant where Elder Chen was. He then went straight to the inner hall and arrived outside the Sect Leader's room.
After getting permission to enter, he saw the Sect Leader and several Elders discussing something. He did not know what they were talking about, but they all stared at him as soon as he entered.
After Wu Kong bowed to everyone, Elder Chen Tingxiu stood up and asked, "Have you sold the wine?"
Wu Kong nodded, "All sold. One thousand five hundred gold coins for three jars." He took out a few gold notes and presented them with both hands.
Chen Tingxiu quickly counted the gold notes and asked anxiously, "Five hundred gold coins per jar. Don't they think it's too expensive?"
Wu Kong respectfully replied, "Elder, according to the instructions, one jar was opened as a sample for tasting, and the other three jars were taken to three different shops for trial sale. I heard that five hundred gold coins per jar was too expensive, but after tasting it, they all said it was good wine and said they wanted to buy a few jars. I said that this wine is difficult to brew and temporarily out of stock. They all said they wanted to reserve ten jars and a hundred jars. I didn't know the situation and didn't dare to accept! "
The group of Heavenly Jade Clan higher-ups in the room smiled mysteriously when they heard this.
Chen Tingxiu smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, I got it. You can leave first."
"Yes!"
After Wu Kong left, Chen Tingxiu suddenly turned and said to Peng, "Sect Leader, our worries are a little unnecessary. It seems that the price of five hundred gold coins is a little low. We can raise the price a little more."
Peng nodded with a smile.
Another Elder stood up and said, "Sect Leader, I think this can be done. Even if we sell it for five hundred, we can earn three hundred gold coins per jar. Ten thousand jars would be three million gold coins a year! Not to mention Guangyi County and Qingshan County, even a few counties together can't make that much money in a year. "
Peng looked at the others, "What do you think?"
Another person said, "Sect Leader, I think this can be done."
Chen Tingxiu also nodded and said, "Sect Leader, this is a good deal. We can agree to it. I will call him over now."
"Wait!" Peng raised his hand to stop them. Seeing that everyone was in agreement, he was in a good mood and laughed, "There's no hurry. We agreed to give him an answer tomorrow. It's not good for us to be too anxious. We can wait a day."
That made sense. Everyone nodded.
Chen Tingxiu suddenly sighed, "But this way, I'm afraid Feng Lingbo's side will have to suffer a little."
Feng Lingbo had been in Guangyi Prefecture all these years, and he had worked hard as well as meritorious service. It would be unreasonable to deprive him of his rights. Moreover, Feng Lingbo was the son-in-law of the Sect Leader. Even if he were someone else, the Heavenly Jade Sect would not be so unreasonable.
Peng Zhitao waved his hand and said, "I'm the Sect Master of the Heavenly Jade School, and he's my son-in-law. For the sake of the Heavenly Jade School's overall situation, if not him, who else can be wronged? It was hard to say for others, but he had to make sacrifices for the Heavenly Jade School! Don't worry about Feng Lingbo and Yulan, I'll convince them. "
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that the tone had been set. They had sacrificed themselves for the sake of the Heavenly Jade School, and they would not mistreat them in the future.
The next day, the Sect Leaders of the Retaining Immortal Sect gathered at the Heavenly Jade School's shop again. The Heavenly Jade School had agreed to the conditions set forth by Niu Youdao.
The three sects were relatively weak. Faced with a powerful sect like the Heavenly Jade School, which was a turning point in their sect's fate, they could not bring back some of the verbal conditions to their disciples. It was only after they repeatedly requested to sign a contract with the Heavenly Jade School that they finally felt at ease.
This was an agreement that could change the fate of the entire Southern Province. Black Peony and the others, who had witnessed the entire process, were left speechless. The way they looked at Niu Youdao had changed. There was reverence in their eyes, and they realized how insignificant they had been in the past.
At the same time, their hearts grew closer. Niu Youdao did not hide such a secret from them, and it was an eye-opener for them.
There was also admiration. Daoye could summon clouds and rain with a turn of his hand. A group of people who came to kill Daoye had been softened by Daoye's fingers in the blink of an eye.
As a matter of fact, the decision made by the cultivators of these sects would change the fate of many people in the Southern Province. Once it was exposed, it was unknown how many families in the Southern Province would be ruined.
It was unknown how Feng Lingbo, who had been in charge of Broad Prefecture for many years, would feel when he found out about this. Would he regret 'inviting a wolf into the house'?
After another round of discussion with Niu Youdao, the members of the three sects left. They had to return to make preparations as soon as possible.
Peng Youzai was also preparing to leave. As a Sect Leader, he could not leave the core of the sect for too long.
However, before he left, he found Niu Youdao and asked, "When are you going to return to Azure Mountain County?"
Niu Youdao smiled. "Anyway, it's not convenient for me to show my face in public in Azure Mountain County for the time being. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."
Peng Youzai said in a low voice, "Don't delay the brewing of the wine. Go back as soon as possible. For your safety on the way back … You've caused quite a lot of trouble. Do you want me to leave a few people to escort you back?"
They had already confirmed that this was a great way to make money. They couldn't wait any longer. They couldn't wait for Niu Youdao to go back and brew the wine for them so that they could make a fortune.
Niu Youdao said, "There's no need to escort me. I still have to go to Ice and Snow Pavilion. Ice and Snow Pavilion will arrange for my safety on the way back. There shouldn't be any problems."
No wonder he wasn't afraid at all and dared to run around! Peng Youzai's mouth twitched again. He muttered in his heart. What relationship did this guy have with Ice and Snow Pavilion?
However, it wasn't convenient to ask and he couldn't get the answer. He could only let it go.
However, when he heard that Ice and Snow Pavilion would make arrangements, he was relieved. However, he still urged Peng Youdao, "Go back as soon as possible. Business is more important."
"Alright!" Niu Youdao nodded with a smile.
Peng Youzai turned around and strode away.
There was no one else in the room. Under Yuan Gang's gaze, Niu Youdao paced slowly. He picked up the sword on the side and pulled out a section of the shining blade to look at himself. Slowly, he said, "Monkey, this time, we can finally have a firm foothold. As long as we are in Qingshan County, there shouldn't be any problems in terms of safety. You and I finally have a place to settle down."
Yuan Gang was silent. He knew that Daoye had spent a lot of effort to create this situation. It had been less than half a year since they left Shangqing Sect. It was not easy for them to finally have a firm foothold in the midst of danger.
Yuan Gang also knew that he wouldn't have the ability to do it if he were in Daoye's shoes. In this aspect, he was not as good as Daoye. Moreover, he had helped the Shang siblings. Presumably, the siblings would be very happy after knowing this, right?
The shadow of a group of people fighting in the woods flashed in his mind. A group of people saved his life. Guan Tie held his hand and begged him before he died …
Getting rid of the messy images in his mind, Yuan Gang asked, "When will that thing make its move?"
"We can't move now, at least not while we are in Ice and Snow Pavilion. We'll wait for Wei Duo's news. Let's leave this place first." Niu Youdao sheathed his sword and looked back at Yuan Gang …
The next day, the group of people left Ice and Snow Pavilion in disguise.
In the world of ice and snow, the group flew. Yuan Gang's figure rushed out from the middle of a snow-capped peak. Along the way, he rushed down from the high mountain and chased after the group of people at lightning speed.
Hei Peony and the others were surprised to find that Yuan Gang was not a cultivator. He didn't wear much more clothes than they did. It was hard to imagine how he could resist such a bitter cold with his flesh and blood, rushing against the cold wind in such a low temperature.
They landed on a snowy hill and bounced up and glided again.
Yuan Gang, who was rushing down from the back, rushed up the snowy hill and followed the slope. With a swoosh, he shot diagonally into the sky and flipped in the air. He actually exceeded the height of the group of people.
Hei Peony and the others looked up in unison. They saw Yuan Gang stepping on two boards, his body leaning forward, his hands behind his back, and his entire body gliding in the air.
There was a canyon in front of them. After the group flew over it and landed on the ground, they all looked back, worried for Yuan Gang. Would he still be alive if he fell into the canyon?
However, Yuan Gang's figure flew over their heads with a whoosh. He had already flown past the canyon and crashed down from the sky. The scene of him smashing into the snow didn't happen as they had imagined. They only saw snowflakes stirring up on the ground. Following the terrain, he flew far away at lightning speed. He didn't stop at all. When he came across a snowy slope again, he soared into the sky again in a carefree and elegant manner.
Hei Peony and the others were all dumbfounded. They were shocked!
Niu Youdao smiled. He realized that Monkey was just trying to act cool. He leaped up and chased after him …
After leaving the snowy region, they saw the green fields again. The group stopped. They didn't hide in the desolate mountains, nor did they go to the bustling city walls. They stopped in a village near a small town by the river.
Hei Peony and the others didn't know what Niu Youdao was up to. Why did he stop?
They couldn't ask. Niu Youdao only said that they would find out when the time came.
They didn't know what Yuan Gang was doing either. He often locked himself in a courtyard. Who knew what he was up to?
As for Niu Youdao, he was either cultivating or wandering around the village with few people.
He went into town to buy some alcohol, drink with the elderly in the village, chat with them, play with the children in the village, or carry a pole to the river to fish.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Under the setting sun, Niu Youdao slowly returned with a fishing rod and a basket. The children in the village cheered and ran to welcome him. They all knew that he was very good at fishing.
Thus, the fish in the basket was divided among the children. The children carrying the fish went home in high spirits. It was like this every time.
Yuan Gang sat on the wall and watched the sun set. He had a look of reminiscence on his face.
Niu Youdao, who was holding a fishing pole, stood at the foot of the wall. He raised his head and asked, "Are you done?"
Yuan Gang nodded. "Almost." He jumped off the wall and took the things in Niu Youdao's hands. He took out a roll of paper and handed it to him. "There's news from Wei Duo."
"Oh!" Niu Youdao took the paper and entered the courtyard. He unfolded it and read it. The more he read, the wider the smile on his face became.
Actually, there wasn't much on the paper. It was just some basic information about Shao Pingbo. For example, Shao Pingbo had a younger sister from the same mother. His mother had died young, and his father's concubine had given birth to two sons. Shao Pingbo had suppressed his younger sister greatly.
"Interesting." Niu Youdao mumbled. He slowly put away the paper in his hands and said, "Have Wu Sanliang come over."
