Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The obese man said: "The Yu family on Yuanxing Island has grown in recent years and no longer plans to breed Red Flame Birds. Last year, they won the right to breed Xuanmo Turtles from the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce and are preparing to vigorously develop Xuanmo Turtles." breeding. They have a quota of 200,000 and are now negotiating with us about the handover. "

Peng Wanli asked: "Fellow Daoist Qin, can you transfer this 200,000 quota to us?"

The fat man smiled slightly: "This depends on your sincerity. Your Xingang is located in a remote place and is weak. You have to give me a reason to hand it over to you! Otherwise, why don't I choose those more powerful families, sects and Chamber of Commerce? I believe many people will be interested.”

Zhou Xuanyong said: "We know the rules of your Chamber of Commerce and are willing to add 10% to the 30% profit."

The fat man smiled: "Three fellow Taoists, if you are only sincere, I think there is nothing left to talk about between us. I am the most honest person and don't like testing each other, so you can just start. Give me your bottom line price. If it’s reasonable, I’ll fight for it. If not, let’s just get together and break up!”

Peng Wanli said: "We can offer up to 50%, and an additional 10% will be given privately to fellow Taoists."

The obese man tapped his fingers on the table, and after a while he said: "One and a half percent, I need one and a half percent. If you agree, it will be done, and I will take care of the rest for you."

The three of them looked at each other and nodded slightly. Peng Wanli said, "Okay, just follow what fellow Taoist said."

The obese man picked up the wine glass on the table and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, happy cooperation."

The three of them picked up their glasses and drank in one gulp.

Zhou Xuanyong asked: "I wonder when the Yu family's breeding quota will be handed over to your Chamber of Commerce."

The fat man said: "It can take a few months, or a year and a half. Some time ago, Yu Nian sent someone to send a message. We just wait for them to complete the handover with the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce, and the handover will begin here."

Peng Wanli said: "There won't be any changes!"

The fat man said: "Don't worry, since I have agreed to you, I will definitely give you the quota of 200,000 Red Flame Birds. I can still speak to this matter, otherwise the three Taoist friends will not come to me."

Zhou Xuanyong said: "I'll leave all that to fellow Taoist Qin. I have one more request. I hope I can go to your Chamber of Commerce's breeding production area tomorrow to observe and learn how to breed Red Flame Birds."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I will take you there in person tomorrow. Fellow Taoists, please go home with a lot of fun today." The fat man raised his wine glass and said.

Several people exchanged cups and cups, no longer talking about spiritual beasts, but instead talking about strange things from all over the world.

After a long time, the three of them said goodbye, left their cave and returned to the inn.

……………………

Xingang, Tianquan Mountains, Crescent Gate hinterland.

Within the huge light curtain, a ray of escaping light came and stopped in front of a majestic and majestic cave. The figure of an elegant man with a fair complexion appeared. It was Xu Zhijie who had rushed back from Huangyi Island.

He waved his hand and the talisman floated into the room.

Not long after, a light flashed from inside, revealing the figure of a voluptuous and voluptuous woman. She bowed and saluted: "Uncle Xu, master, please come in."

Xu Zhijie responded, entered the cave, and came to the main room. Inside, a man with eagle eyes and thin lips sat cross-legged on a futon. He was the headmaster of the New Moon Sect, Mo Daode: "Junior Brother Xu is back, how is it? Xuanmen has Haven’t you talked to Xueyu Chamber of Commerce?”

Xu Zhijie sat down and said, "Xuanmen not only negotiated with Xueyu Merchant, but also directly approached Zhang Ju. The price they offered was not low, 10% higher than ours."

Mo Daode frowned: "What does the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce mean?"

Xu Zhijie said: "I have talked with Zhang Julai through Jia Wenxun's recommendation. What he means is that our price is too low. If we don't pay a high price, they will turn to Xuanmen."

"You bastard, blackmail me." Mo Daode's face darkened.

The Xueyu Chamber of Commerce's approach is obviously to wait for the price, to play both sides between Xuanmen and them, so that both parties can bid against each other, so as to get the advantage: "Where is Jia Wenxun? He has received so many benefits from us over the years. , didn’t you speak?”

Xu Zhijie shook his head: "He may not be able to decide this matter."

"What do you think?"

Xu Zhijie said: "Sixty percent is indeed a bit high, plus Jia Wenxun's place is still 15%, and 75% has gone out. But if we withdraw from fire rat breeding now, the early investment will be in vain. We have just started to make some progress and started to make profits. If it stops suddenly, the losses will be too great and our previous decades will be in vain.”

Mo Daode pondered for a long time: "Junior Brother Xu, please make another trip and tell them that we can add half a percent at most. This is the biggest concession we can give. If they are still not satisfied, then let them do what they want!"

"Also, tell Jia Wenxun that if they insist on taking 60%, they will take it from his personal share. I don't believe that Xuanmen can hand over 75% of the profit to them."

"Okay." Xu Zhiye nodded and responded.

………………

Tang Ning and others were sitting cross-legged in the room. When they heard Zhou Xuanyong's voice, they all stood up and left the room.

Outside, a fat-headed man with big ears was chatting happily with Peng Wanli.

The crowd followed a few people and left the castle. Zhou Xuanyong waved his hand, and the Aurora Boat rose into the wind, carrying everyone into the sky and heading to the southwest.

After walking for about a day, we came to a mountain range.

The Dharma Boat stopped in front of a huge light curtain, and two escaping lights shot out from the distance, revealing the figures of two men wearing the costumes of the Yuan and Ming Chamber of Commerce.

"My subordinates pay their respects to Mr. Qin." The two of them bowed and saluted.

The fat man nodded: "These are fellow Taoists from Xingang who have come all the way from Xingang. They will be the partners of our chamber of commerce in the future. Today we are here to take a look at the breeding production areas of our chamber of commerce. You can take all the fellow daoists around to see them!"

"Yes." The two led everyone into the light curtain.

Inside, there is a huge long river, stretching for more than a hundred miles and forty to fifty feet wide. Countless crimson birds are hovering above the lake, or landing next to the willows in the lake.

The bird's body was as red as fire, with a sharp beak and red eyes. The larger one was one or two feet long, its wings were spread three or four feet, and the small one was three or four inches long.

Countless black crucian carp can be seen wandering in groups in the lake. The Red Flame Bird dives down, pecks at the top, and swallows a crucian carp.

From a distance, several more rays of light shot out. The man leading the way saluted the flying disk man and looked at the people behind him: "Master Qin, who are these people?"

The fat man said with a smile: "These fellow Taoists are from Xingang and want to buy the breeding rights of our Red Flame Birds, so I brought them here to have a look."

Peng Wanli said: "You guys go for a walk with fellow Taoists from the Yuan-Ming Chamber of Commerce and ask for advice humbly."

Everyone claimed that it was true and divided into several small teams and fled away under the leadership of monks from the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce.

Tangning, Chen Da, and Xie Lang were in a group of three, following a dark-faced, burly man.

The four people were within a stone's throw away from the light, but they saw more than a dozen red flame birds flying around them, fluttering their wings and attacking at a few people. They either ran rampant and attacked with their sharp beaks, or spewed out flames from their mouths. These red birds were flying. The spiritual aura of the Flame Bird is much higher than that of the Fire Rat.

The three of them were slightly startled. They didn't know why these red flame birds attacked them. They only used their spiritual shields to defend themselves and did not fight back.

The red flame bird's claws and flames hit the spiritual shields of several people without much reaction. Naturally, their attack methods could not break through the defense of the foundation-building monks.

As the four of them walked forward, the red flame bird chased for a while and then gradually dispersed.

After traveling ten miles, the four of them stopped in front of a pavilion by the river. They were attacked by several waves of red flame birds along the way.

The man took the initiative to introduce: "The Red Flame Bird is a first-order low-grade spiritual beast. An adult Red Flame Bird is comparable to a third-level human Qi Refining monk. There are nearly 100,000 Red Flame Birds in our breeding area. They grow from young to adults. It takes about twenty years, and the method of breeding them is very simple. You only need to find a lake or a big river and raise a large number of crucian carp, and there is no need to worry about the rest. "

Xie Lang said: "Don't you know the name of your friend?"

The man said: "I'm Feng Lun."

Tang Ning asked: "Fellow Daoist Feng, just now we were attacked by many flaming birds along the way. Why is this?"

Feng Lun said: "Those are pregnant female flamingos. Before the female flamingo lays eggs and for a period of time after hatching, her temperament will become very irritable. You are new here, and they are not familiar with your scent yet. They think You are invading territory and therefore attacking."

Tangning nodded: "How is the fertility of the Flame Bird?"

Feng Lundao: "Generally, female flamingos only lay eggs once in their lives, with three to four egg shells each time."

Tang Ning frowned slightly after hearing this. Compared with the fire rat, the flamingo not only has a longer growth cycle, but also has a much lower reproductive capacity than the fire rat. The only advantage is that it does not require high breeding conditions and does not require much investment in the early stage.

Although the living conditions of fire rats are harsh, their growth cycle is short, their reproductive capacity is strong, and they can make profits quickly.

Chen Da asked: "How much does an adult flamingo cost?"

Feng Lun replied: "An adult Red Flame Bird is sold for twenty-five spiritual stones."

Xie Lang said: "If our sect buys the Fire Bird of your Chamber of Commerce, how much will it cost?"

Feng Lun said: "We sell it for one hundred spiritual stones."

Tangning asked, "Are you going to give the egg shell directly, or give it to the hatched Flamingos?"

Feng Lun said: "It depends on how many you need. We all give birth to male and female cubs after hatching."

The three asked in detail about the Flamingo's living habits and some specific matters regarding the cooperation of his hands, and Feng Lun answered them one by one.

Everyone stayed inside for two or three hours, until it was already dark before they left the formation and took the Aurora Boat back to Yuanming Inn.
