Chapter 373: Negotiation on Medicine Field Mountain

Myriad Medicine Valley, Medicine Field Mountain.

Ning Zhuo and Lin Shanshan walked side by side on the hillside.

Looking far away, the afternoon sun was warm, sprinkling on the mountains, and the golden light was everywhere. Medicine Field Mountain was like a scroll unfolding. The terraced fields were layered, and the greenery was lush.

In the medicine fields, all kinds of herbs were lush and full of vitality.

There was Green Spirit Grass, green as emerald, with slender leaves, swaying in the breeze, with a glossy luster.

There were Purple Cloud Flowers blooming in clusters, the petals like clouds, the fragrance overflowing, attracting bees to dance.

There were Snow Lotus Seeds, white as jade, dotted in the green fields, like stars sprinkled on the ground, with a faint light.

There were also Chi Dragon Fruits, red as fire, the fruits were full, hanging on the branches, like small lanterns, adding bright colors.

There were also Golden Thread Vines winding and circling, the vines like golden threads, shining in the sun, with vigorous vitality overflowing.

Between the medicine fields, the paths were straight, well-planned, and paved with bluestone.

There were also many streams, specially arranged, diverted from the spiritual spring, and irrigated to the medicine fields of various sizes.

The breeze blew, and the various medicine scents mixed together, refreshing the heart.

Lin Shanshan led the way in front, and the one responsible for explaining to Ning Zhuo was an elder in the sect.

The elder in the sect was introducing the array of Medicine Field Mountain at this time.

"Mainly there is the Eight Trigrams Array, used for defense against external enemies, and can also eliminate pests."

"There is the Green Mountain Solid Foundation Array, used to maintain the fertility of the land, which remains unchanged."

"There is also the Spiritual Spring Gathering Yuan Array, extracting spiritual spring to irrigate the medicine fields, assisting every herb to absorb and grow to the greatest extent."

Several people walked all the way, and saw that in the pavilion in the distance, it became noisy, and the crowd gathered together.

"Go and see, what happened?" The elder of the sect frowned and immediately ordered the entourage beside him.

The entourage went fast and returned fast, "Someone is making trouble."

"The merchant named Li Jingqing has no money, but wants to buy on credit. This is not in line with the rules, so he was refused by the fellow sect member in charge."

"Who knew Li Jingqing would cry, make trouble, and hang himself, saying that his money was stolen, and the Myriad Medicine Sect itself has the responsibility of ineffective supervision."

"He carried a huge amount of payment for goods, which was not entirely his own. If he couldn't bring herbs back this time, he wouldn't be able to explain it at all, and his end would be worse than death!"

"He shouted that he expected to die miserably in the future, and took buying on credit as his only way to survive. If the Myriad Medicine Sect didn't allow it, he would hit the wall and die directly!"

The sect Elder's expression turned gloomy, and he immediately let out a cold snort: "A mere traveling merchant, yet you dare to pressure my Myriad Medicine Sect."

Lin Shanshan looked at Ning Zhuo, "It is truly retribution. Li Jingqing plotted against you before, I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly."

Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly, "Many unrighteous acts will lead to self-destruction!"

"However, since he has already taken the initiative to apologize to me, my grudge with him has long been revealed."

"Letting him make trouble, it's not good, right?"

"At this time, it is an important moment for your sect to distribute medicine goods for all parties to sell. Being made trouble by Li Jingqing like this, the impact is not good."

Ning Zhuo said here, smiled slightly, "Miss Lin and the elder of your sect, due to your status, cannot take action."

"Why not let me do it."

He said, took out a bag of spirit stones, and handed it to the entourage, "You go, just say that I, Ning Zhuo, lend Li Jingqing 5, 00 low-grade spirit stones. Let him not make trouble anymore, and use these 5, 00 low-grade spirit stones to buy some herbs to deal with the task first."

The elder of the sect heard this and immediately sighed, "Young Master is righteous!"

Lin Shanshan smiled, "Thank you. Later, the spirit stones will be offered three times."

Ning Zhuo also smiled, "A small matter, just do it. Spirit stones are not needed, 5, 00 spirit stones are low-grade, a small number. Let's talk about the cooperation between the two sides, this is more important."

Lin Shanshan smiled without saying a word.

The elder of the sect opened his mouth, "Young Master Ning Zhuo, please look at the specific price list."

Saying that, he handed a jade slip to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo took it, held it in his hand, his spiritual sense penetrated into the jade slip, and read it quickly.

He frowned slightly, "The price of goods on this list is very small compared to the price of those merchants picking up goods."

"My family and your sect are going to cooperate for a long time, and the scale of procurement every year will not be small. So, can't there be some discounts?"

Lin Shanshan remained silent.

The elder of the sect shook his head and pointed to the building where the trouble was just made, "Young Master Ning Zhuo, you also witnessed it just now. The herbs of our Myriad Medicine Valley have never worried about sales. Every time it is such a situation, the door is like a market."

"If we rashly lower the price, for our sect, it is very difficult to explain to the public."

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly, knowing that this inspection of the mountain must have the purpose of showing off the sect's strength.

He had expected it, still calm and composed, "Your sect is operating in full swing, which is really enviable."

"My family and these merchants are different."

"Not to mention, my family's Nascent Soul combat power, just say that my family moved from the North Wind Country, and we value the backbone of the north the most."

"If an alliance is concluded, there has never been a betrayal."

"The cultivation world speaks with strength. If there is something wrong in the future, can these merchants be strong reinforcements for your sect?"

For a time, Lin Shanshan looked sideways, and the elder of the sect raised his eyebrows.

Both did not speak.

Ning Zhuo smiled, walked in front, and left time for the two to react.

Lin Shanshan and the elder of the sect looked at each other, both feeling that Ning Zhuo's negotiation was like his spell-casting, once launched, it was a surging momentum, moving people's hearts.

The elder of the sect did not speak, only gave Lin Shanshan a look.

Lin Shanshan walked quickly, walked to the position side by side with Ning Zhuo, and looked down at the beautiful scenery of Medicine Field Mountain together.

She said, "Young Master Ning Zhuo's words just now hit everyone's heart. But the alliance between the two families is a major matter. Please don't blame me for underestimating you, I just want to ask, can you make the decision on this matter?"

Ning Zhuo smiled, still looking at the layers of medicine fields, "If I say I can make the decision, even if you believe me again, Miss Lin, your father will not believe it."

"Only after a few days, when your sect goes to Fire Persimmon Mountain to collect information and return, everything will be clear."

"Before that, I just want to push this matter forward faster."

"My family and your sect are far apart, but they are very complementary. Your sect needs my family's martial power, and my family moved from the north to the South Bean Country, but it has only been ten years or so, and we also need strong reinforcements outside to stabilize the situation."

"If we can conclude an alliance in the future, our two families are relatively complementary, which is beneficial to both."

"With you here, Miss Lin, I don't think it's necessary to bargain, so vulgar, it pollutes our feelings. Simply, I will tell the truth."

"The quotation on that list, my family cannot afford."

"My family moved from the north, and for these years, we have been recuperating, just recovering a little vitality."

"Not long ago, the Molten Immortal Palace on Fire Persimmon Mountain came out, and the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City experienced many turmoil. The beast tide once had signs of overturning the entire immortal city."

"Every year, buying medicinal materials, taking out so many spirit stones, my family cannot take them out. I thought, perhaps we can barter."

"Look at this, this is a specialty of Fire Persimmon Mountain—Fire Persimmon, which has a wide range of uses, can be used as medicine, can also be used for refining tools, and can also serve as fuel and explosive materials."

Lin Shanshan took the Fire Persimmon, but did not check it, but held it in her hand.

She stared at Ning Zhuo with her wonderful eyes and said sincerely, "My Myriad Medicine Sect has long known about the specialty of Fire Persimmon. When the Fire Persimmon Immortal City was built, the previous elders formed a team to investigate."

"To tell you the truth, we regarded this kind of Fire Persimmon as a competitor at the beginning, worrying that it would impact the medicinal material market of the South Bean Country."

"However, after the investigation, the elders put down most of their worries."

"After so many years, the facts have also verified that the elders' judgment at the beginning was not wrong. Fire Persimmon cannot impact our medicinal material business."

"Fire Persimmon does have a wide range of uses, but the many medicinal materials in my medicine field are specialized in one way, have always been well received by the public, and are a better option."

"If Young Master Ning Zhuo doesn't believe it, you can collect information and verify the share of Fire Persimmon in the market, and you will know that what I said is not false."

Ning Zhuo smiled, "I naturally believe Miss Lin's words."

"However, bartering is by no means just Fire Persimmon."

"This specialty, your sect doesn't like it, it doesn't matter. The Red Flame beasts in Fire Persimmon Mountain are emerging one after another. Your sect always needs these beast materials, right?"

Lin Shanshan nodded, "Indeed."

"My sect is good at planting, alchemy, and healing."

"Among the materials used for alchemy, beast materials are purchased in large quantities from the outside all year round."

"If your family can give a price lower than the market, then the probability of our two sides promoting cooperation is very high."

Ning Zhuo laughed loudly, "Since your sect asks my family to be lower than the market price, how can your sect not lower the price of herbs?"

Lin Shanshan said, "Of course we can lower it."

"But it also depends on the scale of the transaction. If the scale is small, I am afraid it is very difficult to lower it to the Young Master's satisfaction."

"After all, the sale of medicinal materials involves the interests of many factions in the sect. Even if my father's faction can act arbitrarily, it is always a damage to the sect style to use power to suppress people for such small things."

"Young Master Ning Zhuo, do you want to hear my suggestion?"

Ning Zhuo: "I know, Miss Lin wants me to imitate Li Jingqing?"

Lin Shanshan: "Young Master is indeed intelligent, understanding at a single point."

"As long as you win the top few cave dwellings, according to the rules of my sect, there will be a very huge discount on medicine prices."

"Through the existing rules, it will not infringe on the interests of others, and it is also the most convincing."

"Others are fine, but with your ability, Young Master, it is very possible to win the top ten."

Ning Zhuo nodded, "I came to your sect this time to seek advice, and I also want to use the Small Contention Peak to exercise my combat power."

"Now, it also involves the discount on medicine prices, so I have to fight for a while."

"Miss Lin, please give me more advice in the future. Especially martial arts..."

Lin Shanshan nodded and winked at Ning Zhuo, "You and I are friends, aren't we? Since I have accepted your flowers, as a friend, I will not stand by and watch."

This Young Lady of the Myriad Medicine Sect was indeed well-trained.

By the end of the negotiation, it transitioned smoothly from the cooperation between the sect and the family to personal friendship, which seemed very warm and greatly diluted the tense and uncompromising atmosphere of the negotiation just now.

The elder in the sect, however, pricked up his ears and caught a certain "key point": "Flowers? What flowers? Ning Zhuo gave Shanshan flowers? And Shanshan accepted them?!"

For a time, a flash of worry flashed in the elder's eyes.

He re-examined Ning Zhuo.

Seeing the white-clothed young man with a tall posture, handsome face, sincere expression, and generous demeanor, he also gave a light praise in his heart.

Thinking carefully, he looked at Lin Shanshan nervously again.

Seeing Lin Shanshan and Ning Zhuo talking and laughing, the elder's worry increased a lot, and he secretly decided to report this matter to the Sect Master.
