Chapter 206 The Second Guiling Scented Incense Meet, Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment (Seeking Subscription, Seeking Votes!)

Several days later.

Not to mention the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion construction matters, the people seeking City Lord Wang reached a peak. Northern District, Scented Fragrance Sect, Ink Wash Sect, Purple Dragon Mountain, Jiang Family, Guan Family… successively, all came to the door.

Their arrival was naturally also for the matter of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

One more giant chamber of commerce was definitely the number one major event related to sect development for them who relied on the development of Guiling City, and it was a good thing!

——New forces, new channels.

How to plan the benefits was a matter that must be settled for this alliance of interests centered on Wang Yu, and how to respond to the interrogation from Golden Abundance Pavilion was also a key point.

Just like the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone business run by the Guan Family, the original output, a small part was sold to independent cultivators, supplied to family clan shops for sale, or to cultivate juniors in the family clan.

But in the end, it was only a small part, and most of it was sold to Golden Abundance Pavilion. The chamber of commerce would naturally transport it to various places to earn the price difference. This was the advantage of the platform.

As for the Jiang Family's output, the grade was generally First Tier pills, talismans, formations, and equipment, taking the path of small profits but quick turnover. Outside the City, there was also a vast Spirit Field scale for growing spirit rice.

These, the cultivators of Guiling City could consume most of it, and only a small part of high-quality goods were accepted by Golden Abundance Pavilion.

The Ink Wash Sect's unique painting craftsmanship, Purple Dragon Mountain's spirit beast business, and Scented Fragrance Sect's various exotic fragrances—these sects have been able to survive to this day, and it's not just because they can fight.

Knowing how to manage and earn resources to cultivate even stronger experts is the key to their victory over competitors, inheritance through generations, and continuance.

With the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, they could compare prices between two, and sell to more cities. When two fierce tigers fight, even a little benefit leaking out would be enough for them to eat.

Seizing the market first, if they can't destroy the opponent, they can only use spirit stones to smash people. They were eager to ask Wang Yu's opinion. He was nominally the boss of the Guiling City Alliance of Interests.

Therefore, their visit to discuss was actually a gesture of showing goodwill and expressing stance, and also had some element of gratitude. Perhaps their own family clan could rely on this opportunity to give birth to one or two Core Formation True Persons.

But… Wang Yu really couldn't meet them.

He arranged the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion next to Golden Abundance Pavilion, the meaning of fanning the flames was very obvious. If he took the opportunity to lead everyone to get rich and eat the loss portion from both sides.

That would be a bit ominous, and easily provoke the taboo of both sides, offending the two major merchant houses at the same time.

Therefore, he ordered Xu Ruozhou to not meet anyone.

This was not only to avoid Han Jia possibly coming to the door, but also to avoid this group of people.

Secretly eating the benefits is fine, what are they discussing for?

Anyway, he had made arrangements at the City Lord's Mansion, only eating the portion of the Central District, while the Four Major Districts (Southeast, Northwest) were handed over to other factions of the alliance of interests to eat.

Don't feel like you are suffering a loss. No matter how many benefits they get, it must be based on trade. He has to levy taxes. Temporarily increase it by 5%, eating a little handling fee is not a loss.

After all, this time, it not only expanded the Guiling City Market Share, but also digested all the output of Scented Fragrance Sect, Purple Dragon Mountain, and Ink Wash Sect within the Inner City.

This was a huge tax revenue. The longer the two major merchant houses fought, the richer they would become.

At this time, they must not jump out.

To avoid misunderstandings.

When they couldn't see anyone, and found that the people from the City Lord's Residence were only active in the Central District, and also temporarily increased taxes, they immediately understood Wang Yu's meaning.

There was no need to discuss, they tacitly divided the Four Major Districts (Southeast, Northwest).

Thus.

An unconventional business battle began.

...

"Heaven Treasure Branch Pavilion in Guiling City is open for business~"

"Spirit Pills sold for five hundred spirit stones at Golden Abundance Pavilion, we only sell for four hundred, limited to one thousand bottles, first come first served!"

"Hurry, hurry, not taking advantage of a cheap deal makes you a bastard."

"It's finally Guiling City's turn. It is said that the competition in Cloud Smoke City was fierce. Li Mou thinks we can wait a bit longer, the price can still drop."

"Really?"

"If I lie to you, I'm not a Gui Ling person."

"Then Li Mou will trust Fellow Daoist this time."

So, that afternoon.

The maidservants of Golden Abundance Pavilion, dressed even more flamboyantly than prostitutes, stood on the street one after another, greeting passing by cultivators.

"Grain Avoidance Pill, Spirit Restoration Elixir, only selling for two hundred spirit stones! Nine pills per bottle, refined by Second Stage Pill Refiner Master Tong Yan, honest and trustworthy."

Pavilion Master Han Jia next door sensed this with his Divine Sense, and cursed inwardly, "Ominous!"

But touching the more than five million spirit stones he earned from Wang Yu, he felt great confidence in the potential and market of Guiling City, and quickly instructed his subordinates.

"Frost Ice Talisman, Water Armor Talisman, Wood Vine Talisman, Fireball Talisman, Golden Blade Talisman, a dozen foundation Five Elements talismans, thirty in total.

"Combined with Grain Avoidance Pill, Spirit Restoration Elixir, Healing Pill, nine pills per bottle, priced at three thousand spirit stones.

"Right, gifting a First Tier array flag [Wind Breath Mortal Transformation Array]"

Han Jia's instructions dumbfounded his subordinates. This was a bit too cheap. This combination was considered the most complete Qi Condensation Stage adventure set, especially the formation.

This thing was outrageously expensive, and it was actually being gifted!

"Go and do it quickly. Whether we can occupy more market share depends on whether this bundled selling method learned from Taihu Spirit Domain can be effective."

"Yes!"

The subordinate had just left when Han Yinfeng knocked on the door and walked in.

"Father, the heads of the Guan and Jiang families have come to pay respects."

"Quickly, invite them in." Han Jia was overjoyed upon hearing this.

As these two sides fought, it immediately attracted city-wide attention. Even nearby cities had heard of it. Many cultivators rushed over overnight, waiting for the two sides to fight to the most intense point, emptying family wealth to purchase.

Later, selling it to other places could also make a fortune.

Similar to the stock market of Wang Yu's previous life.

Buy low sell high, everyone understands this theory, but whether they can grasp the timing and shear wool (figurative: profit/benefit) from the two major merchant houses depends on their personal vision and judgment.

Not everyone is qualified to be at the table (figurative: participate).

During this Time, nothing made Ye Qing more angry. He considered himself diligent and tried his best to satisfy all of City Lord Wang's requirements.

As a result, turning around, he attracted an old rival. How was he supposed to survive!

A Late Core Formation Stage cultivator came to open a Third Grade branch pavilion. He, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if his backing power was of the same level, he was not an opponent in terms of connections, channels, wealth, internal resources, or even cultivation level.

Even if Ye Qing wanted to compete, he would compete with the Foundation Establishment protectors of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, not with the Elder of the Cloud Ridge Main Pavilion.

"Life-threatening——"

Ye Qing also attempted to find Wang Yu, but he still didn't meet him.

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was invited by him, how could he prevent it? Furthermore, he was mainly trading with Jin Miaoshan, and Ye Qing was just an unlucky person caught in the middle.

The last one, named Qian or something, was also similar.

Guiling City needed development, and Wang Yu had empty pockets and needed to earn spirit stones. Golden Abundance Pavilion was unable to provide it, so he could only find his own way out, and it was impossible to sympathize with Ye Qing.

Unable to see anyone, and shouldering Jin Miaoshan's command, Ye Qing could only grit his teeth and dig into life savings to support it.

And this price war that attracted city-wide attention ended in Golden Abundance Pavilion's failure after only half a year.

Because Han Jia organized an auction house belonging to Core Formation Stage Cultivators. True Person Qing Yang bid successfully for the last item of Tier 3 equipment from it, and then announced secluded cultivation to refine his Natal Magic Treasure.

This benefit lasting for half a year also gradually came to an end.

But for everyone in the Guiling City Alliance of Interests, the benefits had just begun. The supply contract they signed with Han Jia had a minimum term, and half a year was not enough.

It was also because of their defection that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion could rapidly occupy sufficient market share, and finally organize an auction house, giving Ye Qing the final blow.

According to the past experience and tacit understanding of the two major factions' struggles, at this time, Golden Abundance Pavilion should withdraw.

The Guiling City Market will belong to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!

However, an unexpected situation occurred. Even if it only had a little more than ten percent of the market share, it was not enough to maintain the normal expenses within the building, but Ye Qing stubbornly stayed.

Hey, he's not leaving.

This made Han Jia furious. He wanted to question him, but there was no reason, because the past struggles and tacit understanding were equivalent to unspoken rules, not really an agreement.

So he could only ignore it.

Wang Yu secretly watched the show, and after discovering Ye Qing's decision, he set his heart at ease. For him, the ideal state was for the two to coexist. Competition leads to progress.

Thus, he could also rest assured and enter secluded cultivation.

Away from the turbulent surging, Wang Yu returned to a peaceful harbor, silently increasing himself.

In the second year, he recovered to a normal state. Externally, he had frequent communication and socialized often, often hosting banquets for Han Jia, with a look of closeness.

In reality, he borrowed his relationship to meet the branch pavilion heads of Heavenly Treasure Branch Pavilions in surrounding cities, as well as those City Lords belonging to the same Inverse Spirit Blood Sect.

In the third year, the City Lord circle was initially established. Their decisions were similar to Wang Yu's. Those with big backgrounds were mostly Foundation Establishment geniuses, almost not going out, fiercely absorbing the blood of the City.

Some even dared to be greedy for the spirit stones they paid tribute to the Sect. Those with smaller backgrounds were mostly Core Formation Cultivators. They would visit around frequently.

They talked about rumors from everywhere, and also about internal struggles within the Sect. As externally assigned City Lords guarding cities, their position must be firm enough.

Therefore, Wang Yu contacted people from the Zhuo, Yu, and Zuoqiu factions. Not necessarily the main family, but also affiliated families. It's true, it let him know a lot of secret information about Cloud Ridge State.

In the fourth year, he began to deploy troops and generals, utilizing City Lord Wang's connections, widely inviting heroes and talents to prepare for the second Scented Incense Meet.

Considering that this time, it was very likely that Core Formation Cultivators would participate, he also took pains to send a letter to Zhuo Shouqing, asking him to help get some Tier 3 spirit incense.

The high-level products of Scented Fragrance Sect might not be enough. Hand stoves were also prepared, five hundred of them, so that everyone could close smell the exotic fragrance at that time. He didn't know how many people would come, so he could only prepare more.

At that time, it would definitely be a grand occasion. This could only be done by being backed by the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect. If he were an independent cultivator… chuckle, he would probably still be hiding in some remote mountain village.

How could he have the extravagance of a City Lord.

Fifth year!

That is, March of the 25th year of Wang Yu's Stewardship Career, after an interval of five years, the second Guiling Scented Incense Meet, arrived as scheduled.

On this day.

In the secluded cultivation chamber, the substantialized killing intent emerging from Wang Yu's whole body gradually restrained. Besides the shortcut of slaughter, slowly cultivating [Little Shura Killing Fist] could also condense killing intent.

So he also evolved from an initially a ball to now a whole body.

In terms of cultivation level, he refined a total of three Top-Grade Ice Spirit Pills, increasing True Essence by 420 drops. The storage slot increased True Essence by 186 drops, and cultivation increased by more than 60 drops of True Essence.

A total increase of 666 drops of True Essence, plus the original 800 drops of True Essence, the Qi Sea had already condensed 1466 drops.

A year ago, he smoothly broke through to the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment.
