Chapter 129 How about calling it the Four Immortals Merchant Alliance?
Li Xiuchang and his companions finally managed to escape. All nine of them were exhausted. They just found a place to sit or lie down, just wanting to relax for a while.
Li Xiuchang took out the smoked meat snacks he made from his storage bag and distributed them to everyone.
This was the second-level spiritual meat he smoked in his spare time. Eating it not only restores physical strength, but also has the effect of nourishing the mind.
A disciple of the Sword-asking Sect was surprised and said: "I have eaten this smoked meat. It is said to be a specialty of the Xianchen Sect. However, the one I ate before was not of grade, and could only be used as a substitute for the Bigu Pill. Are the second-level ones available now?"
"I made that before, too. I didn't sell the second-level ones. I only smoked a little for myself."
Li Xiuchang didn't expect that his smoked spiritual meat would be sold to the Sword-asking Sect far in the south.
The Xianchen Sect and the Sword-asking Sect are in the north and the south respectively.
After tasting the second-level smoked meat, several people praised it highly: "Brother Li, do you have any extra meat jerky? Sell me some."
"I want some if the price is right."
The second-level smoked spirit meat was so popular that Li Xiuchang said helplessly: "I don't have any stock on hand. I will smoke some when I go back and ask the merchants to bring it to you fellow Taoists."
"Don't bother so much. Why bother looking for merchants? My Ye family specializes in escorting. We have cooperation with the caravans of major chambers of commerce. I can ask the escort master of the clan to bring it to you." Ye Zhixing said.
Chen Gao's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Can you help me bring it to Dengxian Pavilion?"
Ye Zhixing said readily: "Of course."
"Brother Li, can I order this smoked spirit meat from you in large quantities for a long time? I feel that this smoked spirit meat should be very good to sell. I plan to buy some and sell it in the market, but I want you to give me a little discount on the price." Chen Gao saw a business opportunity in it.
Others also lit up when they heard it, and looked at Li Xiuchang one after another, with the same plan in mind.
Li Xiuchang thought for a moment, and his heartbeat quickened. He actually didn't value the business of smoked spirit meat the most.
He knew that smoked spirit meat had no rivals at the second level and below. There were already many third-level smoked spirit meat on the market, all of which were smoked with spirit wood. He could only have some advantages in price.
But the spirit meat smoked with different spirit woods would also have different effects and flavors, so he couldn't rely on price to monopolize the market.
What really moved him was the channel in front of him now!
A sales channel connecting the four major immortal gates!
The nine people present came from the top four immortal gates in the Xianyin Realm, and they could help Li Xiuchang build a sales network covering the other three immortal gates.
Ye Zhixing's family could even provide reliable transportation services.
Li Xiuchang could sell his special products to all parts of the Xianyin Realm through them, without having to go through merchants with low profits and low efficiency.
Li Xiuchang currently has a variety of special products, in addition to smoked meat, there are also various special spirit dishes.
Even Senior Brother Zhang's new flying boat can be sold to major immortal gates through this channel.
What is certain is that Li Xiuchang will continue to come up with all kinds of new things in the future, so it is necessary to expand sales channels.
"I think we can form a small group." Li Xiuchang suggested, "I will provide smoked spirit meat and other specialty products, and transport them through the channels of Brother Ye's family, and deliver the products to you, and then you can sell them. What do you think?"
"I think it's okay. Our Yintian Sect also has many specialties, which can be sold to you through this channel!" Yue Chongshan slapped his thigh and said.
Li Xiuchang knew that Yue Chongshan was taking it for granted.
Each major immortal sect has its own "specialty", such as the flying sword of the Sword-Asking Sect, the seal of the Yintian Sect, and so on.
But these specialty businesses have long been done by others. The four major immortal sects have their own mature business systems, and their own specialties will definitely open up channels to sell to all parts of the Xianyin Realm.
Li Xiuchang can easily buy the flying sword of the Sword-Asking Sect and the seal of the Yintian Sect in the Xianchen Sect market.
But low-level smoked spirit meat is only produced by Li Xiuchang, and no one can compete with him for business.
Only this kind of product that can be monopolized in price or technology can be competitive.
Otherwise, how can they, the Foundation Establishment disciples, compete with those big chambers of commerce and big forces?
Among the nine people present, only Li Xiuchang can provide this kind of product.
Therefore, once this small group is established, it must be led by Li Xiuchang.
Chen Gao was the calmest and asked directly: "In addition to smoked spirit meat, does Brother Li have other special products?"
Li Xiuchang nodded: "You have all ridden my flying boat. Is it considered a feature? In addition, there are many special spirit dishes, and new special products will be continuously developed in the future."
Li Xiuchang introduced his flying boat to several people, as well as the ordinary version of the new flying boat, and some special spirit dishes stored in the storage bag.
Especially after seeing Li Xiuchang's unique charcoal attribute magic power, they realized that only Li Xiuchang could produce low-level smoked spirit meat.
They all understood that even if nothing else, just relying on smoked spirit meat would be enough for them to make a fortune.
"I think it's feasible!" Ye Zhixing said with great excitement.
"I think we can give it a try."
"Count me in."
"I have no objection."
Next, the few people discussed the details further and determined the details such as profit distribution and transportation costs.
For the time being, transportation depends on the channels of the Ye family. If it is one or two times, of course, you can let others take it for a ride. For long-term cooperation, you still have to pay and sign a spiritual contract.
The cooperation mode of several people is still the same as when Li Xiuchang cooperated with senior brother Wang Long.
That is to say, Li Xiuchang is responsible for supplying the goods and giving everyone a unified price. As for how much everyone earns, it has nothing to do with Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang knew that partnership business was difficult to do, so he still used this "separation of supply and marketing" cooperation model to reduce disputes.
Everyone has money and goods, no one interferes with anyone, no one owes anyone, and even if someone wants to quit midway, there is nothing to argue about.
Yue Chongshan said excitedly: "How about we set up a chamber of commerce?"
Li Xiuchang smiled and vetoed: "The time is not yet ripe, and we don't have the strength yet. We can establish a small 'business alliance' first, and then turn it into a chamber of commerce when the scale grows and the time is ripe."
"Okay, but we should also give our business alliance a name."
As soon as this topic came up, everyone started discussing it enthusiastically.
"what name should I choose?"
"The nine of us here are all friends who share adversity. How about we call it the 'Nine Difficulties Business Alliance'? How about that?"
"not so good."
"What bad luck!"
"We all come from the Four Immortal Sects. I think it's better to call it the Four Immortals Merchant Alliance!" A disciple of Wenjian Sect suggested.
Ye Zhixing glared and showed his senior brother's dignity: "In no case do you get to name someone blindly!"
He knew that whether the business alliance could develop or not depended on Li Xiuchang, so he turned to Li Xiuchang and asked, "Brother Li, how about you give me a name?"
Li Xiuchang touched his chin and thought for a long time: "How about calling it the Four Immortals Merchant Alliance?"
The name Four Immortals Merchant Alliance was just decided on in a hurry.
…
Li Xiuchang and the others rested for a day at the Jiufeng Temple ruins.
Good news came the next day. The other three elders who entered Xianyin also came out successfully.
Li Xiuchang was relieved when he learned that Elder Liu had returned safely. After all, Elder Liu entered the Immortal Shadow to save him. If something happened, he would not feel sorry.
Li Xiuchang and the other nine people were quickly summoned and gathered in the First Peak Palace for questioning.
The elders of the four major immortal sects gathered in a circle, and they all vaguely learned from their disciples that Li Xiuchang had found out the location of the Demon Sealed Land.
This is also the news they are most concerned about this time.
The nine Li Xiuchang people were surrounded in the middle and looked at each other. Ye Zhixing, Chen Gao and others said one after another: "Brother Li, let's do the talking."
After the nine of them were teleported to the underground palace, they basically acted together, but only Li Xiuchang went through everything from beginning to end, never missing, and never entering the beast control bag to escape.
Li Xiuchang nodded, without refusing, and started talking about being transported to the underground palace.
When the nine of them started fighting because they didn't know each other's identities, the elders couldn't help but laugh.
Especially when they heard that Li Xiuchang was regarded as a demon cultivator and was besieged, the elders of the Xianchen Sect were all happy and did not feel surprised at all.
Afterwards, Li Xiuchang asked everyone to enter the beast-control bag, and he led everyone out of the underground palace.
At this point, Li Xiuchang concealed the fact that he practiced Buddhist techniques and could not be attacked by Buddha corpses, nor did he mention that he had demolished the gate at the entrance to the underground palace.
But he did not hide the fact that he brought two Buddha corpses with him.
When Li Xiuchang took out the two Buddha corpses from the storage bag, not to mention the elders, even Ye Zhixing and others were stunned.
None of them knew this.
Li Xiuchang thought about it, whether he used this Buddha corpse to refine zombies or make puppets after he returned, he would definitely see people in the future.
Rather than being unable to explain the origin in the future and being secretive about not daring to use it, it is better to be honest now.
It's not a big deal. He relied on the means of protection given by the elders to withstand the attack of the Buddha corpses and took two Buddha corpses hostage. This is very reasonable.
"After the two Buddha corpses left the underground palace, they lost their ability to move and became ordinary dead corpses. The disciples were able to put them into storage bags."
Elder Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You kid, you are really a thief. Hey, the wild goose will pluck your hair. If you want to make a puppet later, I can ask the sect's puppet master to take action."
Li Xiuchang quickly thanked Elder Xu, then put away the Buddha's body and continued talking.
When they heard that Li Xiuchang and the others had met "Ancestor Scar", all the elders didn't take it seriously at first, but then they all became serious when they heard that Ancestor Scar killed the great demon of unknown strength with one sword.
"Take out the corpse of the monster and have a look."
Li Xiuchang and others poured the body of the liger demon out of the storage bag.
Dozens of elders scanned it over and over again with their spiritual consciousness, and exclaimed: "The seventh-level demon!"
A seventh-level demon is equivalent to a monk in the Hedao stage!
They were not surprised by the appearance of the seventh-order monster, but they were surprised by the strength of the "Scar Patriarch" who killed the seventh-order monster with one sword.
"Do you have any impressions of this person?" Elder Xu asked.
The wandering corpses in the Immortal Shadow are the wandering corpses that became the wandering corpses after entering the Immortal Shadow from the outside world. Such a strong person is definitely not an unknown person, and he must have a great reputation in the outside world.
"He is good at swordsmanship and has a scar on his face. With such an obvious feature, it is impossible that we have not heard of this person, so it is possible that the scar only appeared after he entered the Immortal Shadow."
"Yes, that scar is unusual. With such strength, no matter how serious the injury is, it is impossible to leave a scar!"
Elder Yi of the Asking Sword Sect said solemnly: "If you ignore the scar, I would say that in the history of the Asking Sword Sect, there are many seniors who have transcended tribulations and even the Mahayana stage and are lost in the Immortal Shadow. It may not be certain which senior of our sect is it."
