Chapter 114 Cooperation
Wang Changsheng pushed open the door and saw Wang Yaozu standing outside.

"Grandpa, did the people from the Wang family say they wanted me?"

Wang Yaozu shook his head, and said: "I didn't say anything, I asked Mingzhong to entertain them, the Wang family is a big clan of immortal cultivators, so you can't offend them, go out and meet them!"

When he came to the hall, Wang Changsheng saw a man and a woman. The woman was Wang Ruyan, and the man was a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar.

Wang Changsheng clasped his fists at Wang Ruyan and the middle-aged Confucian scholar, and said politely: "My lord, Wang Changsheng, I don't know if two fellow Taoists are here, what advice do you have?"

"Wang Daoyou, in the Wang letter, I heard from Ruyan that Wang Daoyou is an experienced puppet master?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar gave a brief introduction and then got straight to the point.

"I'm indeed a puppet master, so I can't say I have rich experience."

Wang Changsheng had a humble look on his face.

Wang Shuhan glanced at Wang Yaozu and Wang Mingzhan, hesitant to speak.

"Wang Daoyou has something to say, just say it, my grandfather and sixth uncle are not outsiders."

"That's the thing. Ruyan is very interested in the art of puppets. I want to ask Daoist Wang to teach Ruyan how to refine puppet beasts. In terms of remuneration, fellow Daoist Wang will definitely be satisfied."

Wang Changsheng frowned. He taught Liu Yuerong how to refine puppet beasts. It was Liu Yuerong's father who was the head of Yaowang Valley. He needed to prepare spiritual water in the future and needed the help of a second-level alchemist, so he was willing to teach it. As for the Wang family, he could don't want to teach.

He didn't believe that Wang Ruyan was also interested in the art of puppetry. This was clearly an excuse. If Wang Ruyan learned how to refine puppet beasts, it would only be a matter of time before the Wang family sold the puppet beasts on a large scale.

The puppet beasts are the main source of income for the Wang family. There is still a certain market for the puppet beasts in the market. The Qingyang Sect also sells the puppet beasts, but most of them are sold to other places. If the Wang family starts to sell the puppet beasts on a large scale, it will definitely affect To the royal family's income.

Yaowang Valley is famous for its alchemy in the immortal world of the Song Dynasty. The profit of pills is much higher than that of puppet beasts.

After hearing Wang Shuhan's words, Wang Yaozu and Wang Mingzhong frowned in unison.

Wang Changsheng shook his head, and said tactfully: "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Wang, I'm too young to teach Fairy Wang, so please ask Fellow Daoist Wang to hire another famous teacher!"

Wang Shuhan was not surprised by this, he smiled, and then said: "Friend Wang, how about it! We provide the materials, and you help refine the puppet beast. For four materials, you will give us a second-level low-grade puppet beast. For a second-tier low-grade puppet beast, we will give you 200 yuan of spirit stones, and the first-tier puppet beast will be counted separately. Don’t rush to refuse, I will settle the bill for you. Your royal family only has two foundation-building monks, only Qinglian The spiritual vein of the mountain has limited strength. The puppet beasts you refine can only be sold in the Song Kingdom. There are not many stores, so you can't sell many. If the puppet beasts are handed over to our Wang family, we can sell more. Good price, you can also reduce labor costs.”

"Wang Daoyou, our Wang family really wants to cooperate with you. We provide materials, and you can save labor costs. This is a win-win situation."

Wang Ruyan smiled slightly at Wang Changsheng, and said slowly.

It is true that the Wang family is the number one family cultivating immortals in the Song Dynasty, but the four major sects privately crowd out the Wang family, restrict the development of the Wang family, and weaken the Wang family whenever they have the opportunity.

The four major sects all want to win over the Wang family, but the Wang family has a lot of opportunities, no one wants to offend, and there is no clear position. This violates the taboo of the four major sects. There are more than 400, and there are only more than 20 foundation monks, and the monthly expenses are quite a lot.
As long as it is a business of earning spirit stones, the Wang family wants to intervene. The Wang family is just a small family. Wang Shuhan believes that Wang Changsheng has no reason to reject his proposal.

Wang Changsheng was a little moved, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

One serving of materials for refining second-order puppet beasts costs hundreds of spirit stones, and ten servings is thousands of spirit stones. The Wang family has to send people to Dafang City to buy each time, and the quantity purchased each time is not much. It is also prone to accidents. In addition, the Wang family is just a small family. If a large number of second-order puppets are sold, some people will definitely be jealous. If the second-order puppets are sold to the Wang family and the Wang family sells them on their behalf, the risk will be reduced. Of course, by doing so, the Wang family will definitely lose some benefits, but in the long run, this is the best strategy.

Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment, and said: "Friend Wang, this matter is of great importance, let me think it over carefully, how about this! I will contact you after I think it through, and we will discuss the specific matters."

"Okay, okay, we live next door, you are always welcome to visit Wang Daoyou, we still have something to do, so let's go first."

Wang Shuhan agreed with a smile, and left with Wang Ruyan.

After sending the two away, Wang Changsheng casually released a soundproof cover to cover Wang Yaozu and Wang Mingzhong.

Wang Yaozu frowned and asked, "Changsheng, with four ingredients, can you refine a second-order puppet?"

"Currently, it can't be refined. At least five, and at most seven materials can be refined to produce one. You can talk with the Wang family slowly. If you can't agree, let it be. What I want to ask is, should we cooperate with the Wang family? I personally tend to cooperate with the Wang family, but I want to hear your opinions."

"Cooperating with the Wang family will definitely reduce some benefits, but it can also reduce labor costs. In the short term, we will suffer, but in the long run, cooperation with the Wang family will be beneficial to our development. It is also easier for the first cultivating family to collect materials. It is also easier to ask the Wang family to find out about the heaven and earth spirit water. Since you established the foundation, Mingyuan has sent many people to various cities to inquire After leaving Wei State, we didn’t get any news about the Heaven and Earth Spirit Water, it’s not that the clansmen didn’t pay attention, it’s just that we don’t have enough background, and the information that monks in the Qi refining period can get is limited.”

Wang Yaozu's analysis is clear and logical.

Wang Mingzhong thought for a moment, and said: "There are too many interests involved in the cooperation between the two companies. I think it's better to go back to Qinglian Mountain to discuss with the second uncle and brainstorm. We can't act too hastily."

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Seventh Uncle said yes, so be it! I will visit Wang Shuhan some other day and make an appointment with him to negotiate."

"By the way, Changsheng, when I was hanging out with my fourth uncle yesterday, I found someone selling a century-old Xuanshui gourd. The meat of the Xuanshui gourd is edible, and it can also be used to refine water-attribute magical artifacts. I heard that my fourth brother Said, you are using the magic weapon left by the third uncle, and the fourth uncle and I pooled a sum of spirit stones and bought a Xuanshui gourd, you can use it to refine the magic weapon!"

As Wang Mingzhong said, he took out a blue gourd.

"Your seventh uncle gave away all his wealth in order to buy this mysterious water hyacinth for you. You will return the spirit stone to Mingzhong later. It will not be easy for him to save some spirit stones."

Wang Yaozu said with a smile.

"Fourth Uncle, you are offended by what you said. We are all a family. We should. Besides, I just took out the spirit stones on my body. Unlike you, the only two spiritual weapons on my body were also sold! You I'm afraid there are only desserts for Changyue left in my storage bag."

Wang Changsheng was very moved when he heard the words, and thanked him: "Thank you, Grandpa, Seventh Uncle."

He accepted the Xuanshui gourd, returned the spirit stone to Wang Mingzhong, and wanted to help Wang Yaozu buy back the spirit weapon, but Wang Yaozu refused: "I'm old, how many times can I come out? Whether it's a spirit weapon or a talisman, I don’t need it anymore. After the Yutian Dharma Conference is over, I will return to Qinglian Mountain to retire. I don’t plan to leave Qinglian Mountain anymore. Changsheng, Mingzhong, the family’s future depends on you. I’m old and I can’t help you. What are you up to?"

Wang Mingzhong patted his chest and promised: "Si uncle, according to what you said, you can take care of yourself in the future! We will take the lead in the family."

"Yes! Grandpa, you can enjoy your happiness in peace from now on!"

"Fourth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, Ninth Brother, breakfast is ready."

Wang Changyu came over and said with a smile.

The three of Wang Changsheng agreed and went to have breakfast together.
