Chapter 261 Cooperation Project with Tianting

The Jade Emperor was not nervous at all after I told him about the price increase. Instead, he smiled and said, "I told you because I knew I couldn't increase the price."

"what does it mean?"

Taishang Laojun helped explain: "Although using the method just mentioned by the Jade Emperor can speed up the absorption of the power of faith and increase the efficiency of cultivation growth, the premise is that the power of faith is sufficient enough that the previous absorption method has no time to absorb it. It's effective. But when will the power of our faith be enough to pass the chapters of Gao's novels. Jun?br>

After hearing what Taishang Laojun said, I immediately reacted. Heavenly Court is not our Chaos and Order God Clan. Although their power of faith income is not low, it is definitely not high. At least if it is distributed evenly, the gods in Heavenly Court will not be enough. In fact, this is also a common characteristic of most of the gods. At present, there is probably no other protoss in the world that has enough power of faith except our chaos and order protoss. Therefore, even if there is a way to speed up the absorption of the power of faith, it is of no use to these gods. They already don’t have enough, and if you speed up, doesn’t that make it even more insufficient?

"No wonder you all talked about the advantages of my power of faith without being nervous at all. After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a useless advantage."

The Jade Emperor smiled and said: "It can't be said that it is useless, at least it tastes very good."

“I suddenly feel like a cook!”

"Okay, now let's discuss the price of your power of faith. Because we have never bought or sold this power of faith before, the price is really a bit unclear. First of all, this price definitely cannot be based on our strength. It’s calculated based on improvement, because in this case, the unit price of your power of faith will be too scary.”

I nodded in agreement with what the Jade Emperor said. After all, when you sell feed to a farm, you can't calculate the cost based on the weight gain of other people's poultry and livestock, right? Although providing the power of faith to the gods is not the same thing as raising pigs, the principle is the same.

"Since it cannot be calculated based on our strength, it seems inappropriate to simply pay based on your labor." The Jade Emperor said again.

What kind of labor is it? To be honest, it’s not much. The source of the power of faith we compiled for Heaven was faked from believers of small gods in South America and Africa, and our contribution was actually to kill that god silently in the first place. Plus occasionally satisfying the believer's wishes in the future. Calculated in this way, the output and input are completely disproportionate, and the output is huge while the input is minimal. Therefore, if we calculate the price according to our actual situation, the benefits we get will be too low. Therefore, I also agree with this statement of the Jade Emperor.

"Since neither side works, let's make a compromise. Comprehensively consider the utility and actual labor of both parties. In addition, your thing is relatively scarce, and you have the initiative in terms of supply and demand, so we will tilt it towards you in terms of remuneration. So, according to this idea, I can already determine the approximate value, but I don’t know how to calculate this specific transaction item?”

"Jade Emperor. Regarding this matter, I have a suggestion you might as well listen to."

After hearing my words, the Jade Emperor immediately said seriously: "Just say it."

"Well...you see. I have not cooperated with Tianting once or twice, and we can expect many more cooperation possibilities in the future. Isn't it too troublesome to find things to barter on the spot every time?" ?”

The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and asked: "Then what do you mean...?"

"How about we make a general equivalent?"

"You mean money?"

"Yes, it is to use something as money to form a liquid transaction between us. Of course, because neither of us are ordinary beings, it is obviously not appropriate to use crystal coins as a general equivalent, but we can consider using other things. "

"For example?"

"What do you think of the elixir?"

"No." This voice was shouted by Taishang Laojun. He refines all the elixirs in heaven. It's not like other gods don't know how to make elixirs. It’s just that no one else is professional. It can be said that 99% of the elixirs in heaven are refined by Taishang Laojun. So once I want to use the elixir as a general equivalent, the workload of this Supreme Laojun will be overwhelming.

Although the Jade Emperor was a little angry, Taishang Laojun answered before him. But when I think about it, I don’t think it’s appropriate. This elixir itself is the second method for the immortals in heaven to improve their strength. It is a lifeline industry. It is almost insufficient like the power of faith. If another consumption channel is added, wouldn't it be even more insufficient?

"What Taishang Laojun said is that we don't have enough of this elixir ourselves. How can we share it with you?" The Jade Emperor looked at me and asked.

I smiled and said: "Actually, what I mean is that we add one more cooperation project."

"Add one more cooperation project?" The Jade Emperor asked with a smile: "What kind of cooperation is it? Tell me quickly."

The Jade Emperor has always been happy to participate in my cooperation projects, because I have never made a loss on any project I proposed. The original Buddhism was completely divided and cannibalized during my cooperation project. Now that Tianting has absorbed the power of Buddhism, it has not only become stronger, but also eliminated some external hidden dangers. More importantly, it has increased the collection range of the power of faith. . In addition, the cooperation project that I brokered to prevent the demon clan from being exterminated has now entered a fruitful period. At the beginning, Tianting thought that by destroying the demons, he could become a single family and double his income. In fact, they don't know that without the threat of demons, believers' demand for heaven will decrease. In this way, the power of faith will not increase, but will decrease. The existence of demons in heaven is the same as the generals in ancient times raising thieves to respect themselves. Now the demons and Heaven are in conflict on the surface, but in fact they are living in peace. The problem that Heaven has been worried about about the decline in the power of faith has not appeared. On the contrary, the amount of collected power of faith has been rising. Naturally, Heaven has understood me. The statement is correct. After all, the actual benefits have appeared, and nothing can be said as realistically as this actual effect.

Precisely because many previous cooperations have been very good, Tianting is now very interested in any cooperation between us.

"Well...that's what I think. If you have any opinions, don't say anything. Wait until I finish speaking before asking questions."

"Can. "

"Okay, let me tell you my plan." I cleared my throat and then said: "To improve the strength of the immortals in heaven, apart from absorbing the power of faith, there are two other ways. One is to understand the way of heaven. Self-cultivation. The second is to strengthen with the elixir. This understanding of the way of heaven is about understanding, perseverance and luck. We have no control over that thing, but you have made the elixir yourself, so this thing can be controlled."

"But each batch of my elixir requires careful care. It takes a long time, and the amount of each batch cannot be too much. How do you want us to change it under such circumstances?"

"That's right. Taishang Laojun, it is indeed time-consuming and laborious for you to refine elixirs. It is understandable that the output is not high, but what if there are a few more people to help you refine it?"

"How many more people?" Taishang Laojun asked back: "You don't think that this first elixir can be refined by one person, do you? Besides, even I need this Laojun furnace and this civil and military flame formation to produce it at once. There are ninety-nine and eighty-one elixirs, and only three or five of them are high-grade, and most of them are low-grade. Without the Laojun furnace and the civil and military flame array outside, I am afraid that three or five elixirs at a time would be the limit. Even if a high-grade elixir is used a hundred times, it may not become one!"

"I've thought about this too. But... not everyone can refine the elixir, but it doesn't necessarily mean that only Laojun can refine it, right? As long as Laojun opens the door, I can help select adventurers and aborigines from the guild. There are suitable talents to practice alchemy. At first, they will definitely not be able to compare with you, Laojun, but people will always grow. Although it is not possible at first, it does not mean that it will not be possible in the future. As long as they can refine the elixir, even if there is one more Wouldn't it be more profitable to come here? Besides, according to normal circumstances, adventurers learn things very quickly. I believe it won't be long before someone can make low-level elixirs in large quantities. Although those are just low-level elixirs. They are not as good as old ones. Your high-level elixir can still be used as a transaction equivalent. Besides, low-level elixirs are not completely useless to Heaven, right?"

"This makes some sense. But talents are easy to cultivate. This alchemy furnace, the formation, and the materials..."

"The Alchemy Furnace and the Grand Formation shouldn't be a problem." I said: "Our Chaos and Order God Clan is just a hodgepodge, with Buddhas, immortals, gods, demons, demons, ghosts, and spirits basically all of them except for witches. . These gods have brought some of their own weapon refining formation technology to some extent. Coupled with the scientific research capabilities of our guild, we can gather the strengths of all the families to make up for each other's mistakes and come up with an alchemy furnace that can reach or be close to the Laojun furnace. Is there no problem? As for the formation diagram, this is not a problem. Our guild has formation diagram masters. You have also seen the mobile angel, and the application of the formation diagram in it is not worse than that of Heaven, right?"

Speaking of this, Taishang Laojun couldn't help but nodded and said: "Indeed, although the mobile angel you made is a bit nondescript, I have to admit that its formation and application level has surpassed the technology of Heaven. Many of them The idea is really incredible, but the effect is so outstanding, I really can’t figure it out!”

It’s natural that Taishang Laojun can’t figure it out. What’s inside the Mobile Angel is a magic array, which only borrows a little bit of the technology from the Immortal family’s talismans. The main part is still the magic array of the Western Gods. This whole system is different. Taishang Laojun It's strange that you can understand.

The Jade Emperor suddenly interjected at this time: "I'm not worried about the level of making weapons and formations. The key is what to do with the materials needed for alchemy? Novices must have a lot of waste when making alchemy, and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not enough. Where do they come from? How many medicinal materials are wasted for you to practice? If there really were so many medicinal materials, I would have asked the fairy boys to learn to refine them long ago, why wait until now?"

"Um... I wonder if the Jade Emperor has ever heard of something called aphrodisiac?"

"I've heard of it, but that thing will seriously affect the quality of Tiancai Dibao. The output has gone up, but the efficacy of this medicine..."

"It doesn't matter." I said directly: "The reproductive ability of Tiancai Dibao is actually not bad, but the growth environment is demanding and there are very few adults. We can completely collect seedlings to artificially simulate the growth environment to help grow, and then use hormonal hormone to speed up growth. After maturity, although the quality of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures produced in the future is very poor, it is not a problem to use it for newcomers to practice, right? Even if it reduces the efficacy and yield of finished products, we in the Frost Rose Alliance don't mind. Even if one pill The medicine only adds a few attribute points and is useful to us."

"What you said is indeed feasible, but if this is the case, the scale of this cooperation will be quite large!"

"Do you mind the scale?"

"of course not."

"Then it's over. We will establish a special training institution, and our guild will be responsible for selecting and transporting people to receive alchemy training. The materials, equipment and other related expenses required for teaching will all be paid by our Frost Rose Alliance. As long as Heaven is Participate in the cooperation in the form of technical and teaching personnel, that is, the alchemy technology is provided by Heaven, and the teachers are also responsible for it. We jointly run an alchemy training school, which can be divided into crash courses and long-term courses. The long-term courses are for those aborigines. The crash courses are responsible for education. Those who take risks. That’s the most efficient way to go.”

"Well, after the alchemy personnel are trained, how will the elixir be distributed?" asked the Jade Emperor.

"I have thought about this issue. First, we will convert the materials provided by each other, that is, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures used to refine the elixir, and calculate them according to the value of the elixir. Then, after the elixir is completed, we will first convert our respective The material consumption is cleared, that is, how much material you provided. Return the elixir of equal value, so that the material fee is settled."

"In this material cost, do different materials need to be priced separately?"

"Of course. For example, the fairy mountain ginseng you Tianting provides is the same variety of birth-stimulating ginseng we provide. Of course, the prices cannot be calculated the same. The birth-inducing ginseng is much cheaper."

"Oh. That's no problem."

I nodded and said, "Then what's left after all the material expenses are cleared is the net profit, and this net profit will be calculated based on our previous investment."

"What do you think is the best way to allocate quotas between our heavenly technology and your guild's resource investment?"

"I see it this way...we divide the accounts according to six and four. Heaven is six and our guild is four."

After hearing my proposal, the Jade Emperor hesitated for a moment, then turned around and called a few other gods to calculate together for a while before turning back and nodding to me: "Okay, we agree with your distribution plan."

"Since you agree with this plan, let me ask a few more details."

"you say."

"It is impossible for the elixirs to be refined to be all low-level elixirs, even for apprentices. There are so many people. If you don't keep them all, one or two high-level elixirs will occasionally come out. Am I right about this?"

Taishang Laojun nodded and said: "Indeed. There is no fixed number for refining the elixir. Even I cannot guarantee that all the elixirs in the furnace will be high-level elixirs or all low-level elixirs. Such unexpected things happen all the time. So, With so many apprentices refining elixirs together, there will inevitably be some high-level elixirs produced occasionally."

After Taishang Laojun finished speaking, I nodded and said: "Okay. Since there may be high-level elixirs in this elixir, I don't think the distribution of these high-level elixirs should be calculated according to quantity, but according to the quantity. According to the previously agreed proportion.”

"what does this mean?"

"That is to say, high-level elixirs cannot be converted according to proportion. For example, if your heaven does not want low-level elixirs, decide how many low-level elixirs to sacrifice without taking away all the high-level elixirs. This will not work. After the high-level elixirs are produced, they must be accumulated. If you have enough five pills, we can divide them between you and us. If you want the high-grade elixirs in our hands, that's fine, and we'll discuss it separately. The specifics of how to buy, sell, and exchange them are another matter, and have nothing to do with this cooperative production. Do you agree with this?"

The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Okay, this is not a big problem."

"Then if you have any other opinions, please put them forward immediately, otherwise we will follow this charter."

"It should be nothing. Even if there is, it's just a minor problem. That's the big picture."

"Okay, now that this cooperation project is confirmed, let's talk about the transaction of the power of faith."

"Yes, yes, this is the key. Tell me what kind of trading method you plan to use with this power of faith?"

"I plan to use this elixir to trade. I will exchange the power of faith for the elixir. However, since the power of faith is almost impossible for you to get from anywhere except us, I hope that the elixir you provide can also be used." Have the same characteristics.”

"you mean……?"

"I want a high-end elixir, a very high-end one, not inferior ones."

"What do you mean by very advanced concept?"

"Increase the basic attributes, or increase them proportionally, or add an elixir with certain characteristics."

The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and then looked at Taishang Laojun, and Taishang Laojun said after thinking for a while: "Since it is to exchange the power of faith, it is also possible to use high-level elixirs, but the quantity you want... "

"I know, not too much. The high-level elixir itself is also very important to you, so it is impossible to provide it to us in large quantities. So, how many high-level elixirs do you think can be exchanged for a jar of the power of faith like just now? "

The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and said, "How about exchanging one jar for three pills?"

Hearing this amount, his brows furrowed, but the Jade Emperor quickly said: "No, no, no, three pills is a bit too little, so four pills, oh no, five pills. Can I exchange one can for five pills?"

I deliberately held my position and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, five will be five."

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." The Jade Emperor said enthusiastically: "Five high-level elixirs versus a bottle of power of faith, that's it." (To be continued...)
