Chapter 483 Talking about Cooperation
Chen Liyan laughed and said, "My Chen family has been based in Gusu for thousands of years. We have been used to keeping a low profile in the past. In fact, we still have some strength. What your Huashan Sect can do, our Chen family can probably do as well."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master Chen, please don't misunderstand me. That's not what I meant."
Chen Liyan nodded and said, "I think Sect Leader Xin is not such a shallow person. What does Sect Leader Xin mean?"
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly. Chen Liyan's words sounded a bit condescending. Xin Zhen was a young man and might not be able to listen to such words. He looked at Xin Zhen, but saw that Xin Zhen just smiled and said, "I'm just making a small fuss. It's just a few dozen little demons in Guanhai Realm. What's the value of it?"
Now it was Chen Liyan's turn to raise an eyebrow. He said with a half-smile, "Master Xin is really bold. Dozens of great monsters in Guanhai Realm have become small monsters here. Could it be that Master Xin wants to capture a few monster kings in Jindan Realm? Hahahaha!"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "If it's just a few Jindan-level monsters, why bother asking Chen to take action? I can easily deal with them. Naturally, I want more big fish."
Chen Liyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xin Zhen with a slightly cold expression. He said, "Master Xin, I understand that young people like to brag, but it also depends on who the target is. Although I, Chen Liyan, am insignificant, I represent the Chen family after all. The majesty of the Chen family cannot be ridiculed casually."
Xin Zhen nodded and said sincerely: "Although I am young, I am not the kind of person who speaks nonsense. There is no need for Master Chen to be so angry. To express my sincerity, I will share my gains with Master Chen."
Manager Chen snorted.
Xin Zhen pointed at the dozens of monsters outside and said nonchalantly, "Those dozens of small monsters are just a piece of cake. The real harvest is a few golden elixir monsters."
"what!"
Huo Guang couldn't sit still any longer.
"How can it be!"
Chen Liyan said with a look of horror.
It's no wonder they were upset, because what they said was truly shocking.
Golden elixir monsters are extremely rare. In the past, any human cultivator who could kill a Golden elixir monster would become famous immediately, because Golden elixir monsters are extremely difficult to deal with.
Monster beasts focus on body cultivation, and their bodies are so strong that ordinary human cultivators can hardly reach them. Once a monster beast achieves the golden elixir, its innate instincts will be greatly enhanced, and become innate magical powers. The innate magical powers are very terrifying, and human cultivators will retreat if they encounter them.
Generally speaking, killing a Jindan monster is very difficult, and capturing a Jindan monster is an almost impossible task, especially when the human cultivator is also in the Jindan realm. Unless one has reached the Yuanying realm, which is far beyond the Jindan realm, it is possible to capture a Jindan monster alive.
Huo Guang couldn't believe it and asked, "Did he really catch him?"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "He really caught him."
"several?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Four great golden elixir monsters."
Chen Liyan stared at Xin Zhen and said, "Master Xin, this is not the way to brag. I absolutely don't believe what you say unless you let them come out and show me."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
Xin Zhen said softly in his heart: "Yuan Hua, bring the other great monsters to my place."
Then Xin Zhen said, "I have called them over. Please wait a moment."
Chen Liyan was surprised again and asked, "You signed a contract with them. Do they recognize you as their master?"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "That's right. If they don't recognize me as their master and can't control their life and death, I won't let them live."
Chen Liyan was a little dumbfounded.
Huo Guang sighed, "It is said that great demons would rather die than surrender. They would rather die than recognize humans as their masters. How come it is so simple for you?"
Xin Zhen smiled.
Is it simple?
It shouldn’t be that difficult. There aren’t many people who can survive the Life and Death Talisman.
At this time, there were cries of surprise from outside, because four terrifying demonic auras were descending from the sky. Someone shouted, "Are the four demons coming? Such a strong demonic aura?"
Someone shouted, "What a daring monster! How dare you come to Gusu City and cause trouble!"
Manager Chen looked at Xin Zhen, who quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone. These are my men, Yuan Hua. Why don't you bring them over?"
Yuan Hua and the other three demons were originally looking at the many practitioners provocatively, but after hearing Xin Zhen's words, they hurriedly entered the City God Temple with the wolf demon, fox demon, and tiger demon.
Master Chen was shocked to feel the terrifying demonic energy coming from the four Yuan Hua demons. They were indeed great golden elixir demons. When the four great golden elixir demons saw Xin Zhen, they all knelt on one knee and shouted, "Yuan Hua (Lang Wu, Hu Jin, Hu Ding) greets the master!"
Xin Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Get up and greet General Huo and Chief Chen."
The four demons said in unison: "Greetings to General Huo and Chief Chen."
Facing the Golden Elixir Monster, Huo Guang and Chen Zhushi did not dare to be negligent and bowed in return.
Even though the four demons were in front of them, Chen still didn't dare to believe it and asked, "Are you four from Jiangyin City?"
Yuan Hua looked at Xin Zhen, who nodded. Yuan Hua then nodded and said, "We four monsters are indeed from Jiangyin City, but we four monsters have never done anything that is harmful to the world.
We also hate cannibalism. When the monster wave was eating people, we were caught up in it. Although we disagreed with the actions of the Purple-Eyed Dragon King and other monsters, we were outnumbered and powerless, so we could only be angry but not say anything.
Later, our master showed up and persuaded us four demons to turn from evil to good! "
Huo Guang and Chen Zhushi were both speechless. Who said that the demons were coarse and taciturn? This big demon named Yuan Hua was really talkative. But when they asked him if he was from Jiangyin City, he immediately pushed away all the responsibilities and even created a persona for himself that he had abandoned the dark and joined the light.
No wonder his name is Yuan Hua, isn’t that what tactful means?
However, it was also because of this that Chen Liyan knew that Xin Zhen had indeed captured the four great monsters, and also had the secret to subdue the big monsters, which was extremely valuable!
Imagine if Chen could capture dozens or hundreds of Jindan monsters and make them recognize him as their master...hiss!
This is too much to even think about. If it could really come true, wouldn’t Chen become the King of Jiangnan?
Thinking of this, when he looked at Xin Zhen again, he already regarded him as a rare treasure.
Chen Liyan said, "Master Xin, I still think that our two families can do it. My Chen family still has many experts. Why don't we just do this? What do you think?"
Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Of course I know that the Chen family is very strong, but I just took advantage of the monster clan's unpreparedness. If we capture a large number of monsters, we will definitely be discovered by the Purple Eyed Dragon King and the four monsters. At that time, we may have to face the wrath of hundreds of thousands of monsters. Our two families really can't handle this."
Chen Liyan narrowed his eyes and said, "What does Sect Leader Xin mean? From what Sect Leader Xin said, it seems that there are already some rules and regulations. Can you tell me more about them?"
Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, "I do have some ideas. Director Chen, what do you think of the auction outside?"
Chen Liyan shook his head and said, "Although the Guanhai Realm demons are far inferior to the Jindan Realm, they are still good fighters. Since you have a way to control them, why don't you just keep them for yourself?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "A small demon from Guanhai Realm can be sold for at least tens of thousands of taels. These dozens of small demons are worth a huge sum of one or two million taels, which is enough for my Huashan Sect to feed for decades. It is more cost-effective to sell them than to keep them."
Chen Liyan shook his head and said, "It can be sold for tens of thousands of taels now, but if the quantity is too much, it won't be sold at a high price. Besides, what do we cultivators need so many yellow and white things for?"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Of course, you can also give up the yellow and white things, and exchange them for various medicines, magic weapons, etc., so that you can increase the strength of the sect."
Chen Liyan nodded and said, "That's a good way to put it. Back to what I said just now, it's still a question of how to capture them. Of course I know they are valuable, but it's useless if I can't catch them."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "We can create such an auction platform. We can unite some major forces and become the monster dealers. Practitioners from all over the world can find ways to capture monsters, and then we can buy them from them, and then we can increase the price and sell them. In this way, we can reap huge profits."
Hearing this, Chen Liyan was still thinking, but Huo Guang's eyes lit up. He already understood what Xin Zhen wanted to do.
Xin Zhen knew that it was difficult to get all the practitioners in the world to fight against the demons, but if they captured a big demon, they could earn several years or even more than ten years of practice resources?
The practitioners in the world would go crazy!
If millions of practitioners in the world all aim to capture monsters, then how can monsters withstand capture no matter how many there are?
However, there are still problems.
Chen Liyan also thought of this and said, "This can be done, but what about hundreds of thousands of monsters? Can so many people need them?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Whether there is a big enough market to absorb these monsters, Director Chen should know better than me."
Chen Liyan and Huo Guang looked at each other, nodded and said: "In this world of great strife, all forces want to form a large army. If there is an army composed of 10,000 monsters, the attack power will be huge!"
There are more than dozens of forces in the world that want to join the fight for world hegemony. Not to mention the whole country, there are probably hundreds of forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone. Although these forces are large and small, who doesn't have ambitions?
Chen Liyan still frowned and said, "If that's the case, the scale of the war will be much larger, with hundreds of thousands of monsters participating, and all the lives will be lost!"
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "It's better than letting the monsters overthrow the human race. If we don't stop these hundreds of thousands of monsters, how many cities in Jiangnan will be able to survive?"
Hearing this, Huo Guang immediately agreed and said, "Add me to this matter. Although selling lives is against the will of heaven, I am an idol promoted by the human race after all. If there were no human race, I would be nothing more than a clay sculpture or a wooden statue."
Xin Zhen looked at Chen Liyan and said, "Master Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Liyan said, "I will go back and discuss this with the elders in the clan. I think there won't be any big problems. But what should the specific rules be?"
Xin Zhen said: "It's actually a matter of choosing partners. First of all, they must be capable, otherwise they won't be of much use. Secondly, we can't let other capable people stay out, we have to bring them in to work together, otherwise once they start their own business, we won't be able to control them. If we choose good partners, the matter will probably be done."
Chen Liyan remained silent. If what Xin Zhen said was true, then the Chen family would not have much of an advantage. If Putuo Mountain, Xuedou Mountain, Xu family and others joined in, the Chen family would be able to increase their strength, and the three parties would naturally be able to increase their strength as well. These three parties were originally the Chen family's biggest rivals, and if everyone grew, it would be equivalent to no growth.
Xin Zhen guessed what Chen Liyan was thinking and said with a smile, "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not just about Putuo Mountain, Xuedou Mountain and the Xu family. Jiangnan has the Eight Great Family Names, as well as forces such as Longhu Mountain."
Chen Liyan suddenly came to his senses. Yes, the Chen family regarded the other three families as rivals, but to seize the world, they would not only have to face these three families. There were also the Eight Major Family Names and Longhu Mountain in Jiangnan. Oh, there were more rivals in the north, and they were the real dragons crossing the river. Once the north was unified, Jiangnan would be their meal!
time is limited!
Thinking of this, Chen Liyan could no longer sit still and immediately said, "Wait for me! I'll be back soon."
Chen Liyan left as if his butt was on fire.
Xin Zhen and Huo Guang looked at each other and smiled.
Huo Guang exclaimed: "Can this really be done?"
Xin Zhen sighed and said, "Maybe, maybe not."
Huo Guang thought about it and was also worried. He said, "Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of monsters in Jiangyin, but they are led by four monsters. They have been united into a rope. This is a force that can easily destroy a city and a country. It is not easy for cultivators to hunt such a force. Although there are many cultivators, they are all scattered. Facing the organized monsters, there is no chance to take advantage of them!"
This is exactly what Xin Zhen was worried about. If monsters were scattered everywhere, they would be perfect prey for cultivators. Even if they were very powerful and were targeted by cultivators, they could call on their friends and surround and capture them, no matter how strong they were. But now, hundreds of thousands of monsters have formed a tide of beasts. Unless human cultivators unite, how can they shake such a large tide of beasts?
Xin Zhen frowned and thought hard for a long time, but he could not get the key point. He sighed and said, "Unless there is a force that can disperse the beast tide and split it into pieces, then the cultivators will have a chance to defeat them one by one!"
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "Where can we find such a force? Unless the northern army marches south, it will be possible to do this. But now the north is in chaos, who will care about this?"
The two sighed to each other, both feeling helpless.
Suddenly Xin Zhen's eyes lit up, he looked at Huo Guang and said, "General Huo, perhaps I have a way."
Huo Guang was excited when he heard this. He knew that Xin Zhen was very strategic. If he said he had a solution, then he might really have a solution. He asked anxiously, "Master Xin, where does this come from?"
