Ye Li quickly arrived at the Ye family compound and met Ye Wujiu in his room.
After Ye Li came over, Ye Wujiu did not delay and immediately said: "Ye Li, after a whole night of discussion last night, both of your proposals were passed.
However, we can put the matter of the ruins aside for now and mainly talk about the cooperation with the Foundry Hall.
Ye Li knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't say much, but just nodded and listened.
Ye Wujiu said: "Ye Li, we have also realized this time how much damage can be caused by rashly entering into unfamiliar fields and blindly investing. The weapon casting business cannot be done by our Ye family alone.
We are also willing to accept the cooperation method you mentioned yesterday. As for the specific profit sharing and cooperation details, we can discuss them only after the people from the Foundry Hall arrive."
Ye Li nodded and said, "I understand, Grandpa. I will write a letter to Master right away. If he is not at the station, Senior Brother also has the right to make the decision."
Afterwards, Ye Li wrote a letter in Ye Wujiu's room, clearly explaining the situation on his side, and then clarifying his family's intention of cooperation.
Afterwards, Ye Wujiu took the letter and went to the Chamber of Commerce to find someone to deliver it, making sure that the message was delivered to the Foundry Hall within a few days.
Afterwards, Ye Li returned to his home. Ye Canglong had not left yet and was practicing the Spirit Gathering Technique in the yard. He wanted to break through to the Spirit Sea stage as soon as possible, so he practiced whenever he had some free time, and was extremely hardworking.
After seeing Ye Li coming back, he asked about the situation. Ye Li did not hide this matter from Ye Canglong, so he told him the family's decision.
After listening to this, Ye Canglong did not make any comment. In his opinion, these were matters that the family's top leaders should worry about. His only task now was to practice.
Ye Li looked at Ye Canglong's spiritual condition and knew that he was approaching the peak of the Lingwu period and might break through in a short time.
After thinking about it, Ye Li took out most of the spiritual medicines he got from Hua Zhan from the Qiankun bag, handed them to Ye Canglong and said, "Brother Canglong, these elixirs and spiritual medicines used for cultivation are all good things, suitable for the Spiritual Sea Stage. You will probably be able to use them soon."
When Ye Canglong heard this, he hurried over to take a look, and found that these pills were all good things above Xuan Ji. He didn't bother to be polite with Ye Li and grabbed them and stuffed them into his Qiankun bag.
There was no need for politeness between the two of them. After thinking about it, Ye Li took out a large number of high-quality spirit stones to give to Ye Canglong.
But this time, Ye Canglong did not accept it. He said, "Ye Li, I can accept the elixirs and spiritual medicines, but I don't want the spiritual stones."
He didn't give a reason, and Ye Li didn't mean to force him. He just nodded and didn't try to persuade him any further.
But then he handed over Hua Zhan's Qiankun bag and said, "Brother Canglong, this Qiankun bag is bigger. You can change to another one. It will be more convenient."
This time Ye Canglong didn't bother to be polite with him and just put it away with a smile.
Afterwards, Ye Canglong said goodbye to Ye Li and went back home to prepare for a few days of seclusion, because he felt that his breakthrough was imminent.
After Ye Canglong left, Ye Li returned to the life he was most familiar with in the past.
His daily tasks were either to practice the basic spells of the other four attributes or to study the making of rune armor.
He was also practicing the Flame Gathering Talisman that he had bought at an auction before, striving to reach the same level as the Extreme Flame Finger in a short period of time so that the two could be combined to unleash the greatest power.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Wujiu sent someone to find Ye Li in the Ye family compound early in the morning.
After seeing Ye Li in the house, Ye Wujiu handed him a letter. Ye Li took it and took a look. There were four big words "Written by Ye Li himself" written on the envelope.
Without thinking, Ye Li knew that it must be a reply letter from his master or senior brother, so he quickly opened it and started reading.
Ye Wujiu stood by and looked at Ye Li with a nervous expression, because he didn't know whether Ye Li's master was willing to accept their proposal. It was not until he saw a smile on Ye Li's face that he felt a little relieved.
After reading the letter, Ye Li said to Ye Wujiu, "Grandpa, Master readily agreed to my proposal. He said in the letter that my proposal came at the right time.
They are willing to develop towards the periphery, and it is a good thing for them to have us lead the way.
After the split of the Foundry Hall, there was actually a shortage of manpower around the master, and the current development basically depends on the people in the Fire Blowing Hall of the fifth junior brother.
However, Fifth Junior Brother's previous development direction was all in the east of the continent, and they were somewhat out of reach of the west. Now that they have cooperation with local forces like us, it is a great help to them.
The master said that after receiving the letter, he immediately contacted his fourth junior brother, and a team of weaponsmiths followed immediately, led by my second senior brother Niu Qianjin.
That means the team of weaponsmiths should be on their way now. I estimate that they will reach us in a few days at most."
After hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujiu finally felt relieved. He smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good. It seems that the Luo family's conspiracy is going to fail this time."
As they were talking, the guard suddenly came in and reported that someone had important news to report.
Ye Wujiu was stunned, but he did not let Ye Li avoid it. He directly asked the guards to call the person in.
The person who entered the room was Ye Li's distant uncle, Ye Huaicang, who looked a little anxious at this moment.
After meeting Ye Wujiu, Ye Huaicang said, "Uncle, several suppliers of casting materials that we previously cooperated with suddenly became unwilling to cooperate with us for unknown reasons.
Our supplies of materials are running low, so if we need to make a purchase now, we can only go to a large trade association, but the price will definitely be several times higher."
Ye Wujiu frowned and said, "Why did these people suddenly terminate their cooperation with us? Wasn't everything fine before?"
Ye Huaicang said: "I don't know the specific reason, but there are rumors that the Luo family is willing to pay a higher price to buy their casting materials, of course, the premise is to stop cooperating with us."
Ye Wujiu snorted coldly after hearing this and said, "These idiots are short-sighted. The Luo family already has its own suppliers. Buying their products now is just to create trouble for us and squeeze us out in many ways.
After the Luo family drives us out of the foundry market, we will no longer buy foundry materials from them.
Haven't you tried looking for other material suppliers? Is purchasing from a large chamber of commerce the only option left?"
Ye Huaicang nodded helplessly and said, "Uncle, we have already looked for them. There are not many suppliers in the surrounding counties. After all, this is a remote area.
There are even fewer that can supply all the materials needed by so many of our shops at once, and now they have basically been divided up by our several foundry shops.
We can’t find a supplier nearby in a short period of time. We can only look for one further away, and we don’t know how long it will take. Our only option now is to pay a higher price to the big chamber of commerce.”
