After Su Yuan took the jade slip away from his forehead, he remained expressionless and spoke again respectfully.
"Elder Zhang, the sect master said in the jade slip that you must be present when Master Wanxiang from Longhua Temple comes next time.
Therefore, Elder Zhang must be informed of Master Wanxiang's instructions to the shop and some of the requirements for refining the cassocks!"
Li Yan smiled faintly.
"The cassock is in the storage bag. You can take it out and see if there is anything wrong with the refining. Don't make it different from what you discussed at the beginning."
This was exactly what Su Yuan was waiting for, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
In an instant, his spiritual sense had penetrated into the storage bag in his hand. Li Yan had already erased the imprint of his spiritual sense on it when he threw the storage bag out just now.
Su Yuan's spiritual sense entered the storage bag without any hindrance. With a quick scan, he quickly checked the items in the storage bag with the list he had just written down, but there was no abnormality on his face.
The next moment, a bright red cassock shining with golden light was pulled out.
At this time, Su Yuan pretended to glance at Xie Tongyi, who had been silent.
"Thank you, Deacon. Let's jointly identify whether this item is the same as what Master Wanxiang said. This will prevent me from missing something. When the master comes, he will point out problems, which will ruin the reputation of our sect."
Xie Tongyi saw that Su Yuan didn't tell him the contents of the jade slip at all. He was too embarrassed to ask for the jade slip directly in front of Elder Zhang.
Among those things, there were several items he had agreed on with others. Now the other party actually asked him to help identify the robes. He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Damn it, you didn't even call me Junior Brother, but called me 'Deacon'. You didn't even tell me what's in the storage bag, and I don't even know if the items I asked the sect to send are complete
If you ask me to identify the robes, you must be afraid of taking responsibility."
The two of them were used to scheming and calculating each other on a daily basis, and they could tell each other's intentions at a glance, but their cooperation had always been good.
So, the two of them looked at the robe carefully, and when they found no problems, they put it away again.
Afterwards, Su Yuan and Xie Tongyi began to talk to Li Yan about the matters in the store, but Li Yan was actually not interested in it at all.
But as an elder of "Falling Star Valley", he came here on behalf of the sect and Star Moth, so he had to listen to these things even if he didn't want to.
Otherwise, if Xing Ming asked him about it after he returned and he knew nothing about it, it would be considered that he was incompetent as an elder.
Throughout the whole process, although Li Yan did not understand the ways of doing business, he was still able to notice some things that were not going well, and would interrupt from time to time to ask a few questions.
Su Yuan and Xie Tongyi answered without any hesitation, which showed that they were more than capable of handling these questions and were very experienced.
However, Li Yan didn't want to delve into whether there was something wrong with the other party or whether this was just the way the business was done. He just wanted to know what happened.
After finishing talking about these things, Li Yan began to ask about the things happening inside the "Holy Demon City".
When Su Yuan and the others heard this, they realized that Elder Zhang didn't know much about the "Holy Demon City", but the other party seemed to be very concerned about it.
The two of them thought that Elder Zhang came here on orders and might have started preliminary investigations for the sect's future expansion.
So they started telling Li Yan about all the big and small forces in the "Holy Demon City", selecting the ones they thought were important.
No matter what race a force is, its overall strength, the forces behind it, etc., everything known will be explained in detail.
In this regard, Xie Tongyi also worked very hard. In order to perform well in front of a Jindan cultivator, he certainly would not let himself appear too incompetent. He would spare no effort to perform when it was time to do so.
After going around in circles for a while, Li Yan seemed to intentionally or unintentionally turn the topic to the "Holy Demon Palace".
"The two deacons must have been very clear about the sect's intention to open a shop here. If they want to take root here in the future, can we establish some relationship with the 'Holy Demon Palace'?"
Li Yan picked up the tea, gently blew away a few gathered green tea leaves, took a sip, and said casually.
After talking with Elder Zhang, the two found that his attitude was not as cold and distant as many mid-level cultivators, so their tone of voice became more relaxed.
"Your Excellency, we have actually considered this a long time ago. Over the years, we have been trying to contact the Holy Demon Palace through various means.
However, since the strength of our sect is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party, it is difficult to make them pay attention to us!
Besides, most of the people we can contact are only foundation-building cultivators, and the highest we can contact is the golden elixir-level cultivators, which is already the limit. However, these cultivators often do not have a very high status in the palace, so there are not many who can really speak, and there has not been much progress. "
This time, Xie Tongyi said it helplessly after thinking for a while.
Li Yan's heart moved slightly. He had been circling around for a long time just to get here, but it seemed that it would be very difficult to get in touch with the "Holy Demon Palace".
However, from Xie Tongyi's words, we can know that there has been some progress. In addition to the foundation-building cultivators, we can also come into contact with the golden elixir cultivators. This is an opportunity for Li Yan.
Li Yan seemed to agree with Xie Tongyi's words and nodded slightly.
"Well, it's not easy to achieve this in more than ten years. After all, the 'Saint Demon Palace' is a super sect."
He spoke in an old-fashioned manner, but he looked much younger than Su Yuan and the others. However, based on his cultivation level, the two of them believed that Li Yan should be at least similar in age to them.
Therefore, instead of feeling awkward about Li Yan's tone, I felt a sense of being recognized.
Then Li Yan changed the subject.
"Then, you can make a list and description of all the cultivators you know in the 'Holy Demon Palace' later, regardless of their level, so that I can bring them back to the sect master. A small foundation-building cultivator here may have more value for us to exploit because of the power behind him or some other reasons.
After all, if more people in the sect come to analyze the situation, with different ideas, we may get unexpected results. We need to do this quickly. Once there is a breakthrough, it will be thanks to the two of you!"
As Li Yan spoke, he tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
When Su Yuan and the other two heard this, they were both delighted. As Elder Zhang said, although they had obtained a lot of information about the "Holy Demon Palace", they could not know everything, so they could only do their best.
With Elder Zhang's words, these materials may be able to play a greater role, and as the person who provided the information, this credit naturally cannot be erased.
How could they know the real meaning of Li Yan wanting these lists
Seeing that Li Yan's words and actions showed that he wanted to send them away, the two of them quickly stood up.
"I will sort out this information within two days. Elder, please wait for a moment."
Li Yan nodded slightly. He suddenly saw a flash of hesitation on Su Yuan's face, but he concealed it well.
If he hadn't been using his spiritual sense to lock onto the two of them, it would have been difficult to find them.
Li Yan didn't want to waste any more time, so if there was nothing else, he asked them to go back and organize the information quickly.
"Well, if there's nothing else, that's all for today's conversation!"
Su Yuan glanced at Xie Tongyi and after a slight hesitation, he finally chose to speak. Xie Tongyi, who had already started to turn around, looked over in surprise when he heard what he said.
"Elder Zhang, you just mentioned that it would be best if we could establish a relationship with the Holy Demon Palace. Actually, I have been in contact with them recently.
And... And, this matter has reached the final stage. I originally wanted to send a message to the sect after the other party finally confirmed it.
Now that Elder Zhang is here, this matter must be reported in advance, but it will take some time to verify whether it is successful or not."
Xie Tongyi on the side was stunned. He knew nothing about this. Immediately, he cursed again in his heart.
"This old man actually kept everything to himself. Fortunately, I was quite open with him. He didn't reveal anything before. He wanted to take all the credit for such a big event!"
They have been trying to establish a relationship with the 'Holy Demon Palace' for a long time, but it always costs a lot, but they have gained a lot.
Now that Su Yuan dared to say these words in front of Elder Zhang, he must have really made some good connections. Xie Tongyi immediately looked at Su Yuan with burning eyes.
He and Su Yuan have a relationship of mutual supervision and competition in the "Holy Demon City", and each relies on his own abilities in business.
Even when selling vital elixirs and magic weapons, as long as it is within the scope of their authority, the two have the authority to offer preferential prices.
However, Su Yuan has the additional power to make the final decision, but this power is also a double-edged sword. If abused, it will become a weapon in the hands of the other party. Xie Tongyi will send a letter back to the sect to report it.
But Su Yuan is a smooth person, both in business and in his dealings with people.
His purpose of coming to the "Holy Demon City" is to earn more resources for cultivation. As long as the new deacon does not take the initiative to provoke him and has no intention of seizing power, he will allow the other party to develop his own ways and power in the city.
But if anyone really thinks that he is easy to bully, then the end will not be good.
Just like over the past decade, there were two deacons who wanted to secretly squeeze him out and take the piece of fat for themselves. As a result, one of them left in disgrace, and the other was punished to seclude himself for thirty years after returning to the sect, and was not allowed to go out.
Xie Tongyi had the same idea as Su Yuan, which was to earn more spirit stones for cultivation as long as no one plotted against him.
What's more, he is also very smart. Su Yuan has never been replaced by the sect, and everyone knows that this person is not easy to mess with.
Therefore, after he came to the "Holy Demon City", he was more thinking about opening more ways to gain more benefits from it, and he really had no idea of conflicting with Su Yuan.
With the joint efforts of the two, they have made the store flourish and their cooperation is generally harmonious.
To this end, he wanted to establish connections with some major sects, especially the gate of the "Holy Demon Palace".
But as he said just now, he spent a lot of spirit stones, elixirs, and magic weapons, but currently he can only attract some marginal cultivators, which is not a big deal.
After cursing the other party for being unscrupulous in his heart, he was about 50% sure after hearing Su Yuan's tone, otherwise he would not have said it out loud.
But then, Xie Tongyi was also very curious about what kind of people Su Yuan had come into contact with.
Li Yan originally had no idea what the fleeting hesitation on Su Yuan's face meant, but with his suspicious personality, he had already taken the matter to heart while appearing calm on the surface.
He had been secretly alert and wanted to guard against this person, but after hearing Su Yuan's explanation, he finally felt relieved.
However, Su Yuan didn't know that he had just been classified as a "problematic" person by a Jindan.
"No wonder he hesitated. Although this person has established some connection with the Holy Demon Palace, it has not yet been truly accomplished. It does not count."
Li Yan's face remained expressionless, and he did not show any joy after hearing it.
"Deacon Su, please feel free to speak!"
