Chapter 948 Free Trade State

Li Fan, who changed his appearance quietly, sat in the corner and listened attentively to the conversation of the monks in the fortress.

"Have you heard, Xianmeng doesn't seem to plan to build a floating city in Nine Mountains?"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"It's not because of the instability of the space here. Although Tianzun's Dharma has completely plowed Jiushan Prefecture, it has not changed the characteristics of the space. The teleportation array still cannot be used stably."

As soon as this remark came out, all the monks were stunned.

"If we don't build the Floating Sky City...then it's impossible for the Ten Thousand Immortals League to ignore such a large piece of land, right?"

"It's hard to say. In the past, it was possible to build a city by relying on the advantages of the Nine Mountains. Now there is nothing dangerous to defend here. The most important thing is that there is no way to use the teleportation array. Once surrounded, you can't get quick support. Whether it is The cost of defense and the effect are too bad.”

"You know what! The Five Elders were beaten up by our Ten Thousand Immortals League and came to ask for peace in person. Could it be that they dare to take the initiative to attack? What danger could there be?"

"This fellow daoist is really naive. Don't you hear that there are no rules for the strong and the weak? How can a hero be determined by a momentary victory? Last time we won the victory, it was only our Ten Thousand Immortals who caught him by surprise. According to In my opinion, if the two sides fight again, the outcome is still uncertain!"

"That's not what you said when our Ten Thousand Immortals League was defeated."

……

The monks in the fortress were very keen to discuss the situation in the Xuanhuang Realm.

They insist on their own opinions and argue endlessly, and no one will accept the other.How lively.

Li Fan observed around and found that besides himself, there was another monk who was just listening and not participating in the discussion.

This person looked to be in his 30s, with a black gown and silver-white hair.Listening to everyone's discussion, a trace of disdain appeared in their eyes.

Obviously, he didn't agree with the monk's point of view.

Li Fan smiled slightly, bought a pot of good spirit wine, and sat in front of the other party.

"What's your name, Fellow Daoist?" Li Fan asked while pouring a cup for the silver-haired monk with a smile.

"Huh?" The silver-haired monk was still full of vigilance against Li Fan's courtship for no reason.

Instead of answering Li Fan's question, he narrowed his eyes and kept looking at the familiar monk in front of him.

"Hehe, you don't need to be suspicious, fellow daoist. I can see at a glance that fellow daoist is tall and not like ordinary people, and there is a gap in his chest. I am also very curious about the future situation of Jiushan Prefecture, so I want to take the liberty of asking you for your opinion."

The silver-haired monk looked at Li Fan's sincere face, hesitated for a while, and then let go of his vigilance.

After drinking the spirit wine in one gulp, the silver-haired monk said via voice transmission: "Hehe, you are asking the right person!"

"My name is Xin Hongzhang. In terms of how well-informed the news is, these people present can't compare with me!"

Hearing this, Li Fan quickly poured another cup for Xin Hongzhang.

Xin Hongzhang was very satisfied with Li Fan's attitude, and said via voice transmission: "For the sake of our destiny, I will reveal a little bit to you. You must remember not to spread it to outsiders."

Li Fan nodded repeatedly.

"Actually, those people are right. The League of Ten Thousand Immortals does not intend to build a floating city in Jiushan Prefecture. But this does not mean that the League of Immortals will give up here."

"Instead, Xianmeng decided to establish the first free trade state in history here."

"Oh? A free trade state?" Li Fan couldn't help being genuinely interested seeing the other party's serious expression, "What's this saying?"

Xin Hongzhang said proudly: "Does the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce know? The five elders of the Wanxian League have been fighting against each other for many years, prohibiting each other's commodity circulation. The Wanfa Chamber of Commerce in Jiushan Prefecture is located in the buffer zone between the two. Neither the Ten Thousand Immortals League nor the Five Elders’ Association can manage it. Therefore, the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce can sell all kinds of precious treasures openly. Although the price is set at the ground, there is still an endless stream of monks who travel thousands of miles to buy it.”

"However, these are all old calendars. The Celestial Lord showed his power, and the entire Jiushan Prefecture was razed to the ground. Although the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce was not completely wiped out, it suffered heavy losses. It will be difficult to be like before..." Xin Hongzhang shook his head.

"However, the leader of the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is indeed an individual. He actually persuaded the Wanxian League to lift the trade restrictions in Jiushan Prefecture. The Ten Thousand Immortals League and the monks of the Wulaohui can come here to trade freely. You only need to pay a small amount of tax."

"Leaded by Xianmeng, assisted by the experienced Wanfa Chamber of Commerce. It is said that an agreement has been secretly reached with the Wulaohui to ensure that even if there is a war in the future, neither side will choose to start a war in Jiushan Prefecture..."

"By the way, you know what it means to be able to confirm safe free transactions?" Xin Hongzhang stared at Li Fan.

Li Fan nodded with excitement in his eyes.

"It is conceivable that Jiushan Prefecture, which is still a desolate place now, will become extremely prosperous in the near future. It may even surpass the four major states in the hinterland. If you can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will definitely change your fate... "Xin Hongzhang also drank another glass of spiritual wine vigorously, venting his inner excitement.

"If it wasn't for this reason, I would have traveled thousands of miles to come to this remote border."

Li Fan bowed his head in silence for a long time, as if digesting the shocking news.

Then he raised his head, and said gratefully to Xin Hongzhang: "Such important inside information, fellow Taoist, unexpectedly just casually told me this passer-by who met by chance..."

Xin Hongzhang waved his hand: "Hehe, if you hadn't taken the initiative to talk to me and ordered another jug ​​of good wine, I wouldn't have told you about it."

"Actually, this matter is not a top secret. The announcement of Xianmeng should come out soon. You and I can only take a little advantage."

"By the way, fellow daoist, if you have enough contribution points, you might as well keep an eye on the purchase qualifications of Dongfu in Jiushan Prefecture."

"I bet that within ten years, the price of the caves here will at least double! It's not even a problem to increase by three or four times. If you can buy a few caves at the beginning, you can sell them soon..."

"It's simply a worthless business!"

Xin Hongzhang whispered again.

"Fellow Daoist Xin is so far-sighted!" Li Fan patted himself on the head as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Why didn't I think of that?"

At the moment, they continue to tout one after another.

He drank too much spirit wine, and hearing Li Fan's flattery, Xin Hongzhang couldn't help but feel a little elated.

Suddenly, he saw that Li Fan seemed to be hesitating.

In the end, as if he had made up his mind, he said mysteriously through a voice transmission: "Friend Daoist Xin treats me like this, I can't be stingy anymore."

"To be honest, I have a secret method called [God's presence]. If fellow Taoists don't mind it, I can teach it to you."

Seeing Li Fan being so cautious, Xin Hongzhang smiled and disapproved.
