Su Yuan sorted out his thoughts and considered it for a while.
“After more than ten years of hard work, I have finally established some relationships with the Holy Demon Palace.
Although this person was only a Jindan cultivator, because of the power behind him, he was assigned to be in charge of the purchase of low- and medium-level elixirs in the palace.
After many contacts, he had promised to give me a chance if the impurities in the pills we provided were less than 30%.
As long as they can pass his test without error, we will be responsible for providing 20% of the supply of elixirs below the fifth grade of the Holy Demon Palace in the future.
If we can continue the cooperation for three years without any problems, we will be allocated more shares.”
Having said that, Su Yuan's eyes became bright.
In order to achieve this goal, he has devoted tremendous energy and financial resources over the past decade.
Some of the good things he gave away were purchased from other places with his own spirit stones. Su Yuan knew that if he sacrificed his personal interests occasionally, he would be valued more by the sect leader afterwards.
If you haggle with the sect over everything, you will never achieve anything great.
If this deal can be made, don't underestimate the 20% share the other party mentioned in an annual share. The "Holy Demon Palace" is a behemoth. Just this 20% can make "Falling Star Valley" earn a lot of money, of course, this also includes Su Yuan himself.
The last time he brought the letter back, he did not tell the truth to the sect leader, for fear that if there was any mistake in the message, it might bring a fatal blow to his plan.
He only said that a customer needed two fourth-grade pills with less than 30% impurities, and he planned to inform the customer in person after Star Moth came this time.
But the sect master was unable to come in person this time, and these two pills are very valuable.
If he took the medicine and tested it, and the pill was seriously damaged or even confiscated by the other party, he would be speechless without the Star Moth to testify.
The fourth-level elixir may not matter to the "Holy Demon Palace", but it is an extremely valuable treasure to the "Falling Star Valley", and I will lose most of my wealth by then.
This can be seen from the fact that Su Yuan once worked hard to obtain the "Zeng Yuan Dan", which is also a fourth-grade elixir.
The elixir that Su Yuan finally got contained about 40% impurities. In order to remove a trace of impurities from the elixir, the alchemist often needs a certain amount of luck in addition to his own attainments.
Therefore, I had no choice but to say it out loud just now. This matter must be made known to Elder Zhang. Only in this way can my value be reflected and my responsibilities be reduced.
As for Xie Tongyi, he also knew about this. After careful consideration, Su Yuan chose not to avoid it.
Now it has come to the final stage of testing the medicine. Success or failure depends on the thought of the golden elixir in the "Holy Demon Palace". The elixir is already in hand, and I will go there immediately later. It is too late for Xie Tongyi to intervene.
In this matter, Xie Tongyi at most wanted to intervene, and he absolutely did not dare to make trouble. He knew Xie Tongyi's character very well.
The other party usually tries every means to earn more spirit stones and obtain more resources for cultivation. More importantly, he told this matter in front of Elder Zhang.
Once something goes wrong, the first person to be suspected is Xie Tongyi. It is said that Elder Zhang once slaughtered hundreds of cultivators by himself. He is definitely a cruel and ruthless person.
Li Yan's mind moved when he heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He immediately thought of the two fourth-level 'Seven Dragon Bone Tempering Pills' among the things he brought.
"Are you talking about the 'Seven Dragon Bone Refining Pill'?"
"That's right. I requested in the letter that the impurities and poison must be removed as much as possible during the refining process, and no more than 30% should be removed. I don't know..."
Although he had seen the jade bottle containing elixirs in the storage bag just now, he was unable to check them one by one. Among the elixirs he brought this time, there were also many other elixirs that the shops needed to sell.
"Oh, I have seen both the 'Seven Dragon Bone Refining Pill' and the cassock, so you can rest assured that the quality and appearance of the two pills can meet your requirements.
If you can establish a connection with the Holy Demon Palace, it will be a great achievement for you. This is very good, very good!"
At the end of what he said, Li Yan said "very good" twice, and his praise was evident in his words. If he could have the opportunity to enter the "Holy Demon Palace", it would be very good news for him.
Seeing Elder Zhang's reaction, Su Yuan felt more at ease, knowing that the sect had taken this matter very seriously. So his last few concerns about Xie Tongyi disappeared.
After Li Yan calmed down, a hint of doubt appeared on his face again.
"Oh, by the way, Deacon Su has a question here. Didn't the Holy Demon Palace sign supply contracts with other sects before
Also, if this is successful, will the pills be delivered in monthly batches, or all at once per year
Do we need to send someone to deliver it, or do they need to come and pick it up?"
Li Yan was thinking rapidly in his mind, but he asked questions slowly one by one. He hid the questions he really wanted to know in them.
"In the 'Holy Demon Palace', whether it is elixirs, spiritual tools, talismans, or magic weapons, in addition to refining some of them ourselves, due to the large number of disciples, they will all be ordered from outside.
There are relatively fewer magic weapons. After all, both the raw materials and the degree of compatibility with the owner are very high, so people usually find trustworthy people to refine them.
However, there is a huge demand for spiritual weapons, talismans, and elixirs. They are purchased in two separate halls: high-level and mid-to-low-level. High-level elixirs and talismans are simply beyond our reach.
There were two sects that provided low- and medium-level elixirs in the past, namely the Burning Heaven Sect and the Ghost Dragon Clan.
Among them, I think Elder Zhang must be familiar with the 'Fentian Sect', which is a first-class sect of our human race in the Lost Continent, and its alchemy skills are second to none.
Therefore, he not only provided 60% of the low- and medium-level elixirs to the Holy Demon Palace, but also took up about half of the high-level elixirs needed by the Holy Demon Palace. The remaining 40% of low- and medium-level elixirs, talismans, etc. were all controlled by the Ghost Dragon Clan.
The connection I made this time is actually the 20% share from the Ghost Dragon Clan. The process is very complicated. I will explain it to you in detail when Elder Zhang has time."
When he said this, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Xie Tongyi on the side. How could the two people next to him not understand what he meant.
Xie Tongyi humphed softly, realizing that Su Yuan didn't want him to know the details of the process.
This is of course also a big secret of Su Yuan. He put a lot of thought into connecting to the "Holy Demon Palace". The two people next to the final breakthrough would definitely not have thought of it.
He used the "Fentian Sect" as a breakthrough point, so Su Yuan would certainly not tell anyone about this.
Therefore, even if Xie Tongyi knew that he had established this connection and wanted to sabotage it, the direction of his attack would be deviated.
In response to Xie Tongyi's cold snort, Li Yan gave a noncommittal attitude, and Su Yuan seemed not to have heard it, and continued to speak with a smile on his face.
"Of course, the delivery is done once a month, so that it is easier for us to purchase the raw materials needed for alchemy. After the pills are refined every month, we will deliver them to you. These high-ranking sects will not come to pick up the goods!"
At the end of his speech, Su Yuan showed a wry smile on his face. What could a small second-rate sect like theirs count for here? They were just stronger among the second-rate sects of the same level.
You have to wait until the customer gets home, but you let someone else come to pick up the goods. What are you thinking
Li Yan nodded slowly, his heart becoming more and more lively.
The "Holy Demon Palace" has been unable to be approached, so he had no choice but to think of making something of the opponent's list of foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators.
Twenty years have passed, and he has no way of knowing whether Zhao Min is still in the foundation-building stage or has already condensed the golden elixir. He can only conduct a large-scale search.
Now, unexpectedly, there is a possibility to enter the "Holy Demon Palace". Although the entry area is definitely limited, there will be more opportunities if you can enter.
At that time, he could personally deliver the pills over. This was the main question he wanted to ask after going around in circles. As for other things, he didn't care too much.
This piece of news made Li Yan very excited, but he showed no sign of abnormality on the surface. After thinking about it, he spoke again.
"Deacon Su, you said that the share you got was from the 'Ghost Dragon Clan'. I don't know what means you used. If the 'Ghost Dragon Clan' voluntarily gave it up, then there is no problem. Otherwise..."
He stopped talking here, but his meaning was clear.
"Elder Zhang, the Ghost Dragon Clan is still unaware of this matter. After all, it has not been finalized. However, this is what I am most worried about. I originally wanted to wait for the Sect Master to come in person to see how to deal with it. Now that Elder Zhang is here, it is the same. What do you think..."
A solemn look appeared on Su Yuan's face, and he immediately bowed to answer. The meaning of his words was clear; this was not the "Ghost Dragon Clan" giving in voluntarily.
After thinking about it, Li Yan suddenly looked at Xie Tongyi.
"Deacon Xie, you should know how important this matter is to the sect. From now on, you should put aside what you are doing and fully cooperate with Deacon Su.
However, everything is based on his requirements. You can only assist him with all your strength and don't ask about things you don't need to know.
I will be staying here for a while, and you can come to me anytime if you have any questions."
Xie Tongyi had no choice but to stand up and accept the order. He knew what the other party meant.
From now on, if Su Yuan asked him to stay in the shop obediently, he could not even go out of the shop. Otherwise, if things were successful, everything would be fine, otherwise he would just have to wait to be questioned.
When Su Yuan heard the last words of "Elder Zhang", he finally let go of his worries. The thing he was most worried about was finally taken over by someone, so he could do it with peace of mind.
In the next two days, Li Yan went out during the day and returned to the store at night.
Li Yan had long since ignored Feng Tao and his group, but he still knew some of the situation. In the end, only three Qi Condensation disciples were left in the shop, and Feng Tao and the others had disappeared.
Su Yuan has disappeared for the past two days. No one knows what he is busy with. Xie Tongyi is left in the shop to look after the shop. At the same time, Xie Tongyi is busy in the room organizing the information that Li Yan needs.
Li Yan ignored this and tried to get closer to the mountainside again in the past two days, but to no avail.
The guards of the "Holy Demon Palace" are as strict as before. With Li Yan's current cultivation level, he can sense the auras of more powerful people in the "Holy Demon Palace", which were simply impossible to sense before.
Although he was confident that he could sneak a longer distance and get closer to the mountain after using the "Stealth at Night" technique, it would be meaningless.
If he were to be discovered now, he would probably have to face a Nascent Soul cultivator.
When Li Yan returned again in the evening of the second day, he saw Xie Tongyi drinking tea alone in the backyard.
When he saw Li Yan coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted, then handed a jade slip to Li Yan. After bowing respectfully again, he turned around and went back to his room.
Li Yan watched Xie Tongyi leave, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he smiled slightly in his heart. He had left a spiritual mark on Xie Tongyi, and his every move was under his surveillance.
He now attaches great importance to the matter that Su Yuan mentioned, but he cannot really rely on Xie Tongyi's self-consciousness to act.
"He is very disciplined. He didn't even go to the store in front of him in the past two days. He was afraid that he would not be able to explain himself after coming into contact with others. He is really thoughtful!"
