Chapter 952: Marriage Alliance
The messenger from Buddhism was Yaoshi Fo.
He pressed his palms together and said, "Great King, this poor monk has come here not only to congratulate the Great King on behalf of my two masters for succeeding as the Human Sovereign, but also to establish a branch temple in Zhaoge to strengthen the ties between our Buddhism and the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty. I hope the Great King will grant this request."
Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "My Great Shang does not forbid any orthodoxy. As long as it is legal and compliant, your Buddhism may establish as many branch temples in Zhaoge as you wish; I have no objections.
However, I believe that besides branch temples, your sect could also establish embassies in Zhaoge.
What is an embassy?
An embassy, as the name implies, is an official residence for envoys.
Not only Buddhism, but everyone present here may establish embassies in Zhaoge.
Dispatch resident envoys to coordinate with the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites.
In the future, if you have any requests, you can communicate them through the embassies.
If we in Great Shang have any matters to discuss with you all, we can also communicate through the embassies."
Yaoshi Fo and the others' eyes lit up upon hearing this.
In fact, before this, various forces had already sent people to reside in Zhaoge, but they lacked official status and were not recognized by the Imperial Court, which made them somewhat constrained in their actions.
For instance, if they wanted to procure a certain Dharma Treasure, without the help of the Imperial Court, they could only inspect factories one by one, which was time-consuming and laborious.
But if they had the help of the Yin Shang Imperial Court, they could quickly find the factories they desired.
One must know that Zhaoge has now become the manufacturing center of the Primordial World, containing countless novel items and countless high-quality, affordable cultivation resources.
Although online shopping is very convenient, the cost-performance ratio of offline wholesale is even higher.
Furthermore, there are the Warships of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty and various techniques of the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades, all of which are coveted by various parties.
"The Great King is wise!"
The crowd shouted one after another.
Yaoshi Fo then said, "Great King, my sect wishes to purchase the refining methods for the new-style Warships, as well as technical data for the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades above the Heavenly Immortal level. I wonder if that is possible?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yin Qi with longing.
Everyone in the world knows that the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty are the most top-tier, capable of assembly-line production, which is also the reason why the cultivation materials of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty are high-quality and affordable.
Although Great Shang has already opened up the authorization for technical data of the Earth Immortal-level Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades, the Earth Immortal level is still too low.
They want the Heavenly Immortal level, the Mysterious Immortal level, and even the Golden Immortal level.
Additionally, there are the Warships.
Especially the new-style Warships of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, which come with their own power sources and can attack without any cultivator needing to drive them; they are simply killing artifacts on the battlefield.
As for those Golden Immortal and Daluo-level Warships of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, who knows how many forces are drooling over them.
Yin Qi chuckled lightly: "That is not entirely impossible. However, regarding the technical data for the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades, I can authorize the Heavenly Immortal level; as for anything above the Heavenly Immortal level, it will not be authorized to outsiders for the time being.
As for the Warships.
The sale of Golden Immortal-level Warships can be opened.
But this price will not be low; you must be mentally prepared."
Yin Qi is not worried that the refining methods for the Warships will be cracked by selling them, even if the Sages themselves were to take action.
Immortal cultivation and technology are two different paths of civilization.
Every trade is like a mountain apart, let alone two civilizations of different paths.
As for the technical data of the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades, even if Yaoshi Fo did not bring it up, he would still lift the authorization restrictions to help domestic industrial owners complete industrial upgrades and strengthen their own power.
To use the words of his past life, it is enough for him to monopolize high-end manufacturing.
Anything below the Golden Immortal level belongs to mid-to-low-end manufacturing.
However, the technical data for the Mysterious Immortal-level Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades must be kept under wraps for a while longer so that he can scrape another wave of wealth in the future.
In fact, even if he opens up the technical authorization for the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades, Yin Qi is not worried about his business being stolen.
Technology is important, but industrial cultivators are even more important.
The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty has already developed a perfect training model for industrial cultivators and also possesses a complete industrial chain and system. Once Yin Qi unifies the Primordial World, the industrial capacity that will erupt will be incomparable to any other force. Moreover, Yin Qi has always kept the intelligent industrial production lines a secret.
This is the true ultimate weapon.
The Asura King Bojun looked excited and hurriedly said, "My Sea of Blood wishes to purchase one Golden Immortal-level Warship. I wonder what the price is? In addition, we also want a copy of all the technical data for the Heavenly Immortal-level Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades."
Yaoshi Fo and the others were equally excited.
They had thought that Yin Qi would open up the sales restrictions on Warships, but they had not expected him to open them up to Golden Immortal-level Warships.
Even if they have to pay a great price, they must purchase one to take back.
With the cultivation of their own Sect Master, there is absolutely no difficulty in analyzing the refining methods of a Golden Immortal-level Warship, and in the future, they will be able to continuously refine Golden Immortal-level Warships.
Since ancient times, Golden Immortals have been the backbone force.
As for Daluo-level Warships, do not even think about it; the entire Great Shang Celestial Dynasty only has four of them.
Yin Qi smiled gently: "The technical data for the Heavenly Immortal-level Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades is five hundred trillion Immortal Crystals as a package price. Note, although the package price is five hundred trillion Immortal Crystals, I do not want Immortal Crystals, but Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of equivalent value.
Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... book...!
As for the Golden Immortal-level Warships, they are also five hundred trillion Immortal Crystals worth of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Other than that, nothing else is accepted."
He has various Spiritual Roots and Immortal Seeds in his Inner Heaven and Earth, so he will no longer lack alchemy materials.
But for refining Evolution Liquid, Warships, Puppetry, and Post-Heaven Spirit Treasures, he still needs a constant supply of top-tier materials.
The expressions of the crowd tightened.
Five hundred trillion Immortal Crystals, to be honest, is a lot, but not unacceptable.
But Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of equivalent value are a different story.
Many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are basically priceless and unmarketable; everyone hides them as their foundation and will not easily take them out.
This price makes people feel a bit of heartache.
However, considering the ability to independently perform the Refining of Golden Immortal-level Warships in the future, this price is not unacceptable.
"Very well, the Sea of Blood will order one."
"Buddhism will order one."
"The Dragon Clan will order one!"
The various major powers placed their orders one after another.
As for the envoys from Great Luo-level powers, they could only wear bitter expressions.
The price was too expensive!
Yin Qi was naturally beaming with joy; this wave was a huge profit.
Suddenly, the Dragon Clan envoy Yinglong said: "Great King, my Dragon Clan and the Human Race have been on good terms for generations, and back then I even served under the Yellow Emperor. Besides offering congratulations, I also hope to arrange a marriage with you, Great King, to strengthen the relationship between both sides."
"A marriage?"
Yin Qi feigned a frown and said: "I only have five princes, and they are all still young children; how can we arrange a marriage?"
Yinglong said with a smile: "Naturally, it would be you, Great King. Our Third Princess of the Dragon Clan has long admired you, often saying that you are the Greatest Hero of the Primordial World, with talent that spans the heavens, like a scorching sun crossing the sky."
Yin Qi chuckled, originally intending to refuse.
If he agreed to the Dragon Clan, the other powers would likely follow suit, and he did not want his harem to become a concentration camp for the Ten Thousand Races.
However, just as the words reached his lips, he suddenly thought of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.
By taking the Nine Yin Power, one can almost approach Chaos!
Isn't this Dragon Clan delivering themselves to his doorstep?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly changed his tune and nodded: "Very well."
Yinglong was overjoyed: "I shall send a message to the clan immediately."
The other various powers insisted and also hurriedly said: "Great King, my Phoenix Clan (Qilin Clan, Sea of Blood...) also has 【someone】 who admires you, Great King, and hopes to enter the palace to accompany you by your side." (End of this chapter)
