Chapter 398 Bai Zhanfeng (Seeking Subscription, Monthly Ticket)
Han Zhangxiang looked at the black-robed old man, but the black-robed old man was unmoved. He was obviously not interested in Liesha Dao.
Han Zhangxiang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Zhao Daoyou, these materials are not worth two hundred thousand, how about this! If you take out a few more materials, this magic weapon will be yours."
Zhao Dong hesitated for a moment, and took out five red animal skins about Zhang wide. These are the skins of second-order monsters, and they are not worth tens of thousands of spirit stones at all.
Considering that earth-type materials are relatively scarce, Han Zhangxiang still exchanged them.
"Zhao Daoyou, if you get refining materials in the future, please give priority to Hu, especially the refining materials of the earth attribute."
Han Zhangxiang said sincerely.
"no problem."
Zhao Dong agreed, patted his chest, and took the Shark Knife from Han Zhangxiang with a smile.
Coral polyps are ranked 108th on the list of strange insects in the world. Based on this alone, even if Han Changming doesn't need them, Han Zhangxiang can exchange them with other alchemy cultivators so that they won't fall on his hands.
After the exchange, Han Zhangxiang sat down.
Sun Li exchanged a few third-level monster materials, but the exchange failed. Zhao Dong had nothing to offer, and neither did Han Zhangxiang.
Zhao Dong couldn't take out anything else, and without getting up to exchange, the black-robed old man took out two three-foot-long golden fangs, a pair of three-foot-long rhino horns, and a piece of cyan animal hide that was three feet long and wide.
"In exchange for wood-type refining materials or elixir, or other things of equal value."
The old man in black looked at Han Zhangxiang. Han Zhangxiang was a third-tier craftsman, and he was more likely to produce wood-type materials. Sun Li and Zhao Dong were poor.
Han Zhangxiang showed a disappointed expression on his face. Before Han Changming returned to Neihai, he gave him two 700-year-old elixir. It was no problem to exchange them. However, when they met for the first time, Han Zhangxiang didn't know the details of the other party, so after repeated hesitation, he did not exchange.
The materials that the black-robed old man took out were not rare, but in comparison, the 700-year-old elixir was much more precious.
The black-robed old man was a little disappointed, hesitated for a moment, and took out a three-foot-long red fang. The red fang was wrapped in a red light, emitting a faint wave of fire aura.
"This is the tusk of a third-tier high-grade fire sea lion. It is most suitable for refining fire-attribute magic weapons."
Han Zhangxiang was secretly surprised. The fire sea lion is huge in size, proficient in water and fire, and is very cunning. Its fangs are extremely sharp, its skin is thick and fleshy, and it is difficult to hunt.
Han Zhangxiang doesn’t have any talisman yet. What he cultivates is the "Burning Heaven Knife Sutra", which requires a fire-attributed long-sword magic weapon. The fangs of the third-tier high-grade fire sea lion are already very good refining materials, even in Haoran City. If you can buy it, there are relatively more materials for water monsters.
After hesitating again and again, he took out a cyan wooden box, opened it, and found a golden flower about a foot long inside, with some light blue patterns on the petals, emitting a strange fragrance.
"700-year-old Jinlinhua!"
The black-robed old man gasped. Seven hundred-year elixir is rare. Except for the powerful medicine gardens, if you want to find 700-year elixir, you can only go to forbidden areas or secret places to find it.
"This golden rain flower was exchanged by the old man with other fellow Taoists, and it is more than enough to exchange for the fangs of the raging sea lion."
Han Zhangxiang said in a deep voice, if it weren't for the relatively rare materials that the other party brought out, he would not be willing to exchange them.
"Deal, Fellow Daoist Hu, Fang also has a fang of a third-tier middle-grade fire sea lion."
The old man in black robe took out another fang, his eyes full of anticipation.
Han Zhangxiang smiled wryly, and said: "Hu will exchange for a Jinlin flower, and I will buy it from you with Lingshi, how about it?"
The wealth is not in vain, it is understandable that he took out a 700-year-old Jinlin flower, and if he took out another 700-year-old Jinlin flower, there is no guarantee that other people will not have other thoughts.
The old man in black robe is at least in the middle stage of alchemy, maybe in the late stage of alchemy, Han Zhangxiang doesn't want to be targeted by monks in the late stage of alchemy.
The old man in black robe thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay! Just treat it as a friend. If you get a high-year elixir in the future, you must keep it for the old man. In terms of price, you will definitely not let Fellow Daoist Hu suffer."
Han Zhangxiang patted his chest and agreed, and got two fire-attributed fangs, which he could use to refine the magic weapon of long swords. He didn't plan to refine the magic weapon of life. , there are not enough precious refining materials.
He used 40,000 spirit stones to buy the fangs of the third-tier mid-grade Raging Fire Sea Lion, plus the one he exchanged for Jinlinhua, there were two tusks.
The quality of the talisman is related to the supernatural powers in the future, and Han Zhangxiang hopes that the quality of the talisman will be better.
After exchanging items, the four became more acquainted. After chatting for a while, the old man in black robe left and Sun Li and Zhao Dong didn't stay any longer.
Back at his residence, Han Zhangxiang meditated and adjusted his breath, waiting for the night to fall.
Baiquelou is the Baiquelou's property, and its business scope is relatively wide. Bai Feiyang is the second shopkeeper of Baiquelou.
There are three shopkeepers in Baiquelou, who manage different businesses respectively. Bai Feiyang is responsible for managing the sales of raw materials. The higher the monthly profit, the higher the salary he gets.
Bai Feiyang is not satisfied with being the shopkeeper. His father is Bai Jingguang, the current head of the Bai family, and he will be resigned in a short time. If Bai Feiyang wants to be the next head of the family, he must give real credit.
He negotiated with other suppliers, the purchase price of raw materials will be increased, and the selling price will be increased by 30%. Golden Gourd Pavilion has a great demand for raw materials, so it is naturally Bai Feiyang's key target.
He had been in contact with the shopkeeper of the Golden Gourd Pavilion for several years, but he didn't find that there was a monk who formed a pill behind the Golden Gourd Pavilion, and the persimmon had to be picked softly.
At Youshi, the sky darkened, the streets were full of people, the lights were brightly lit, and there were constant shouts, making it very lively.
When Bai Feiyang came to Haoran Building, the waiter took him outside a box on the third floor, the waiter knocked on the door lightly, and said, "Senior Hu, Senior Bai is here."
As soon as the door opened, Han Changying came out. She smiled at Bai Feiyang and said, "Friend Daoist Bai, please come inside."
Bai Feiyang nodded with a smile and walked in.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a middle-aged man with a square face. The middle-aged man was tall and tall, and a powerful spiritual pressure emanated from his body, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"Friar of Alchemy!"
Bai Feiyang's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became respectful. He didn't expect Han Changying to invite Brother Jiedan.
"The junior Bai Feiyang pays a visit to the senior. If he knows that the senior is there, the junior will invite the third uncle over. He likes to make friends the most."
Bai Feiyang bowed, and mentioned the alchemy monks in the clan.
There are two alchemy monks in the Bai family, one of whom is based in Haoran City. The Bai family sells raw materials and buys other cultivation resources, such as puppet beasts and elixir, and then resells them to the powerful forces or caravans of the Righteous Dao League to earn the difference.
Bai Feiyang raised the price of raw materials, intending to buy more puppets.
The middle-aged man is Han Zhangxiang who has changed his appearance. He looked Bai Feiyang up and down, and asked in a deep voice: "This old man also wants to meet fellow Daoist Bai, little friend Bai. You can inform your third uncle right now to invite him over. There are some things , the old man is afraid that you will not be able to make the decision."
"I don't know how to call the senior?"
Bai Feiyang asked cautiously, his eyes were a little suspicious. He didn't know whether the other party was invited by the Golden Gourd Pavilion temporarily, or the backer behind the Golden Gourd Pavilion.
"The old man's surname is Hu. Behind the Golden Gourd Pavilion is the old man. The old man can make the decision. Please invite someone who can make the decision."
Han Zhangxiang's voice was full of unquestionable taste.
Bai Feiyang even claimed yes, agreed to come down, took out a light blue Dharma plate, entered a Dharma formula, and said respectfully: "Third Uncle, Senior Hu from the Golden Gourd Pavilion has something to talk to you about, we are in the Haoran Building box."
"Understood, the old man will pass here."
Bai Feiyang put away the cyan Dharma plate, and stood aside obediently, with a respectful expression.
Half a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door, Han Changying opened the door, and a white-faced, beardless, and thin old man in white robe walked in. The old man in white robe had small eyes, and he was not a character to be fooled at first glance.
"Old man Hu Xiang, I have met Fellow Daoist Bai."
Han Zhangxiang stood up, clasped his fists and said.
The old man in white robe smiled heartily, and said: "Old man Bai Zhanfeng, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Hu to be behind the Golden Gourd Pavilion. There was some negligence before, so please don't worry about it."
"Fellow Daoist Bai was joking. Businessmen are people who can be negotiated. It is normal for prices to rise and fall. Let's talk slowly."
Han Zhangxiang said politely.
"For fellow Daoist Hu's sake, the price has increased by 15%. Fellow Daoist Hu, don't rush to refuse. It's not that we want to raise the price, but that the higher-ups have raised the price. We can't do it without following the price increase."
Bai Zhanfeng said frankly that big stores have increased the purchase price and selling price of raw materials. If they don't increase the price, they will definitely suffer.
There are rules in the industry. If the big merchants in an industry have raised their prices, the small merchants will also increase their prices, otherwise they will be cheap and big merchants.
"It's so good, how can the price increase?"
Han Zhangxiang asked curiously, generally speaking, commodity prices are affected by supply and demand.
"Recently, third-tier monsters have frequently attacked caravans. The cost of escorting goods has increased, and the prices of goods have naturally increased."
Bai Zhanfeng didn't finish his words, the big forces have already sent experts to solve this matter, the price of raw materials will drop soon, the Bai family wants to take this opportunity to make a fortune.
Han Zhangxiang suddenly realized, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, let us think about it and give you an answer right away after thinking it over."
"No problem, but you can't leak it out. You still have to say that the price has risen by 30%, otherwise our business will not be easy."
Hearing this, Han Zhangxiang immediately understood that even if he went to other suppliers, the price would probably be about the same. What he was facing was not the Bai family, but an interest group represented by an industry.
Monster beasts frequently attack the caravans of immortal cultivators. It is normal for supply problems and price increases. From this incident, we can see how much influence monsters have on immortal cultivators.
During a cup of tea, Han Zhangxiang and Han Changying left Haoran Building.
Han Changying contacted other suppliers, and the bids of other suppliers were similar to those of the Bai family.
After a lot of weighing, Han Zhangxiang asked Han Changying to continue to buy raw materials from the Bai family, and he continued to refine the magic weapon.
