Chapter 380 The Plan of the Snake People
"Teacher, why do I feel that the status of alchemists has become lower?"
Xiao Yan whispered. He was now sitting on a flying magic beast heading to the Tagor Desert. Although the cost of this trip was waived because of his status as an alchemist, what he heard and saw along the way made him feel that many people gradually lost respect for alchemists.
Apart from other things, the reputation of the Alchemist Guild was greatly reduced by not having to ask alchemists for help when buying elixirs and going directly to the Miter Auction House and the elixir shop opened by the Jiama Royal Family.
But the alchemists had no way to deal with this. They were not famous for their fighting ability, but their best skill was alchemy. However, even this demand was abolished, and the alchemist group was not even as good as the fighters.
Although some remote elixirs still needed to be found by alchemists, most fighters no longer needed the help of alchemists. The remaining respect for alchemists now was just a remnant of the past.
"The Jia Ma Royal Family and Miter Auction House shouldn't have taken out so many pills. From what those alchemists said just now, we know that this has nothing to do with the Alchemist Guild. The problem lies with these two forces."
Yao Chen's soul floated out of the ring. It was about the alchemist group, so he also paid attention to it.
"Three consecutive cities have a large supply of pills. Although they are only low-level, how many low-level practitioners are there in the Jia Ma Empire? Even the Dan Tower would not do this, and these pills are too similar. It's like the work of the same alchemist."
Xiao Yan was surprised and said, "The same alchemist? This is impossible, teacher. Even an eighth-grade alchemist can't supply pills to three cities, right?"
Yao Chen rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan and said nothing. The soul of an eighth-grade alchemist can control many alchemy furnaces and flames at the same time, but it can't supply so many; the most important thing is that no eighth-grade alchemist will lower himself to refine low-level pills, and it is very difficult to ask them to do it.
"After leaving the Tagor Desert, go to the Gama Holy City."
After a moment of silence, Yao Chen suddenly said to Xiao Yan: "This matter must be understood. If there is really a change, at least you should adjust your next plan."
"No problem, teacher."
Xiao Yan agreed immediately, but in his heart he was thinking about what he had just heard at the Miter Auction. He even had the opportunity to buy the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill and the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill. If this was true, then the three-year agreement would undoubtedly be more difficult for him.
The Yunlan Sect is not short of money. There are resources coming to the door just by sitting. In comparison, he can only rely on his teacher.
When Xiao Yan went to the Tagor Desert, the snake people were also moving fast.
Regarding the development of their tribe, although the four snake elders had not taken any action for a long time, they still set off for the Black Horn Region after hearing Medusa's order.
Two peak Dou Huangs and one Dou Wang, even if the people in the Black Horn Region saw the rare snake people, they did not dare to attack them; although there were only three people, their strength was enough to destroy a gang in the Black Horn Region.
After finding out the specific information, the two elders of the snake people and Yue Mei hurried back to the Tagor Desert.
Then they reported the matter to Medusa and summoned several tribal leaders and two other elders.
After everyone arrived, the elder talked about what they saw in the Black Horn Region. They also talked with Hermione with their identity as snake people and the strength of the peak Douhuang, and brought back a list of elixirs and a trading contract. Even Mobas, who
was hostile to humans, had to believe the news brought back by the elder, and this was an opportunity for all snake people.
"It's just that your majesty, medicinal materials are also the weakness of my snake people. Magic cores are easy to say, but there are not many medicinal materials in the Tagor Desert, and it is impossible to trade for a long time."
After hearing this, not only the four elders, but even Medusa frowned slightly.
This is indeed the weakness of the snake people. They are trapped in the Tagor Desert. What they lack most is resources. Otherwise, there would not be so few strong people in the snake people. The snake people who like shade by nature have five peak Douhuang in hot places. If they change places, they will definitely have the opportunity to become a second-rate force in the northwest continent.
"There are other ways to exchange for elixirs."
Yue Mei suddenly spoke in the silent hall, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. However, the elder frowned slightly and immediately raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Shut up, Yue Mei!"
But the elder's move not only made Medusa and other tribal leaders frown, but even the third and fourth elders of the snake people were very confused.
"Elder, what are you hiding from me? This is about all the snake people. Do you want to do something secretly?"
Medusa said coldly, which directly made the elder and the second elder speechless, and then they could only sigh in silence.
"Yue Mei, tell me everything that happened this time. There can't be any mistakes or omissions!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After hearing Medusa's order, Yue Mei started talking about what she hadn't said just now.
In addition to what she had said just now, the most important thing was the conversation between the three of them and the Kahn Chamber of Commerce. If there were no medicinal herbs and gold coins as payment, the Snake Tribe could also become a hired tribe of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce.
In simple terms, it was a vassal, using its own power in exchange for elixir rewards and the like.
In this way, the Kahn Chamber of Commerce would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Snake Tribe, but would have to obey the orders of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce to the outside world; in simple terms, it was sovereign independence internally and the loss of some autonomy externally.
This kind of thing was of course unacceptable to the old-fashioned elders. It was simply unacceptable to let the Snake Tribe become a vassal of other forces.
But it was not possible for ordinary forces to become a vassal of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce. At least none of the gangs in the Black Horn Region were favored by Hermione; the Snake Tribe was a group that everyone hated on the Douqi Continent. It was difficult to survive and had no backing, and it had a little potential.
It is difficult for ordinary people to get such treatment. The Kahn Chamber of Commerce is not short of combat power, but it is short of manpower. Due to racial relations, it is difficult for the snake tribe to surrender to other humans, so surrendering to the Kahn Chamber of Commerce is the best choice, and it is also a gold mountain.
If you become a vassal, you will definitely get a lot of benefits. Let alone the Po Zong Dan and the Dou Wang Dan and Dou Huang Dan that can be swallowed repeatedly, who wouldn't be tempted after hearing
about it? After listening to Yue Mei's words, the hall fell silent for a while. Mobas, who was the most hostile to humans, heard about surrendering to humans. The first thing he wanted to do was to refute like the elder and say a few harsh words to humans.
But after Mobas noticed the reactions of others, he forcibly held back what he wanted to say.
After the hall was quiet for a while, Medusa spoke up, "What do you think of what Yue Mei said?"
No one answered. The snakemen in the hall were all high-ranking snakemen. They gathered here and could dominate the fate of all snakemen. When they heard Yue Mei's talk about the benefits of vassalage, some snakemen tribal leaders had already made up their minds, but they didn't want to be the first to speak because of their status.
Seeing that no one spoke up, Medusa said coldly, "Since no one is answering, then I will make the decision. If the Kahn Chamber of Commerce is indeed a force worth joining, then they can also consider becoming a vassal."
"Your Majesty." "If it's true what Yue Mei said, the Snake Tribe may not even be able to defend the Tagor Desert in the future. Think about the attitude of humans towards us."
Medusa interrupted them coldly. If they only consider dignity, the Snake Tribe may perish in ten years.
Now even the Huangji Pill and Pozong Pill can be circulated. Who knows when Jia Xingtian of the Jiama Empire will be promoted to Dou Zong? They also have a sixth-level peak magic beast. If both break through, who can deal with Dou Zong in the Snake Tribe?
Not joining means extinction. This is not a contest between the internal forces of the human race, but a struggle between races.
The four elders also thought of this problem, so they didn't speak. Although they didn't want to, they thought that humans might continue to grow and the Snake Tribe would be in danger in the future. Even if they insisted on the dignity of the Snake Tribe, they couldn't speak.
"I will go to the desert to search for the whereabouts of the strange fire in the next two days. The other party is mainly engaged in the business of elixirs, and should be interested in this kind of heaven and earth wonders. If the negotiation fails, then this king..."
Medusa didn't say the rest of the words. It's still unknown whether the strange fire can be found, and it's useless to say these.
However, Medusa still ordered the tribesmen of the eight tribes to mobilize the medicinal materials and magic cores accumulated in the snake tribe in advance. Once the deal was reached, they would be in a hurry.
After giving the order, Medusa left the holy city and went to the desert to look for clues about the strange fire.
Her bloodline is also superior among the snake people, and she likes yin by nature. Some time ago, Medusa relied on her negative bloodline to sense an extreme heat in the desert. The only thing that can make her feel this way is the natural strange fire.
Medusa originally planned to use the strange fire to evolve her bloodline, but now it seems that using the strange fire to trade with the Kahn Chamber of Commerce is a good choice. The other party is likely to have a powerful alchemist, and the strange fire is the best stepping stone for such a person.
No matter how much Medusa thought about it, she could not think of something like an industrialized medicine refining machine. If she knew more about alchemists, she would not think that the actions of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce were made by alchemists.
————————————————
In a few months, the Kahn Chamber of Commerce has begun to have the air of the master of the Black Horn Region.
With elixirs in hand, and the new improved elixirs Douwang Dan and Douhuang Dan, the Kahn Chamber of Commerce maintains a superior position in the Black Horn Region.
Moreover, the Kahn Chamber of Commerce not only sells elixirs, but Hermione has also begun to build her own staff.
Just like the Kahn Magic Potion Material Shop in the wizarding world, it has recruited two batches of outstanding graduating wizards in a row, allowing her to have a great say in the Ministry of Magic.
Relying on those six-level magic beasts alone is enough to deter foreign enemies, but the staff of the family must be improved.
However, the conditions given by the Kahn Chamber of Commerce are too good, so good that almost all the sect fighters are tempted; but the Kahn Chamber of Commerce also has high requirements, at least they must be Douling masters, and those with a bad reputation and bloodthirsty and murderous people are not allowed.
These two checkpoints directly screened out 99% of the people. There were few good people in the Black Horn Region, but thanks to the generous rewards, Hermione was able to recruit more than 20 people who met the requirements.
There were more than a dozen cities in the Black Horn Region, and there were more than 20 people who met the requirements. Half of them were recommended by Canaan Academy. In the inner courtyard, students with fighting spirit strength could graduate smoothly, and after graduating from Canaan Academy, they would basically be welcomed by other forces. After
joining the Kahn Chamber of Commerce, these people signed a ten-year contract with soul binding. Hermione had informed them in advance, but none of them hesitated, which was enough to show the treatment of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to planting trees, Kahn has been studying the upgrading of medicine refining machines recently.
The seventh and eighth grade elixir can attract elixir thunder, but that is because the power of the elixir is too strong, causing turmoil in the world to produce elixir thunder; this kind of elixir thunder has no other function except announcing the refining of high-grade elixir.
As for using lightning to refine puppets, it is not necessary at all. Kahn can release powerful lightning currents by himself, and he doesn't care about things like the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
If there is a Dou Zong corpse, he can create something more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Puppet. Why refine that thing for no reason? The
new industrial medicine refining machine is specially designed to refine elixirs of grade 7 and above. When it reaches grade 8, Tsunade and others can also take it, so Kahn is still quite concerned about this.
The daily growth data of the sacred tree is recorded, and with the guard of the tailed beast Jiu Tou Long, there will be no accidents within a year.
In the second month after Kahn returned to the Dou Qi Continent, the new industrial medicine refining machine has been produced.
And after several tests and collecting enough data, there is no problem in refining the seventh-grade elixir, but there is no eighth-grade prescription and materials, so it is not known what accidents will occur when refining the eighth-grade elixir.
However, the energy impact generated when the elixir is formed will not have much impact on the medicine refining machine. The impact generated by the formation of the seventh-grade elixir can only make the medicine refining machine tremble slightly.
However, Kahn did not collect all the seventh-grade pill recipes. He asked Honghou to infer four seventh-grade pill recipes based on some sixth-grade pill recipes and existing medicinal material data, but it would be better to collect more pill recipes to increase Honghou's data support and calculation speed.
Therefore, Kahn plans to use four new seventh-grade pills and the gradually formed pill discourse power to make a wave of things in the Black Horn Region.
There are too many sects. Although they are respectful to the Kahn Chamber of Commerce, they will always have some inappropriate ideas if they are not beaten.
Hermione has already noticed this. Under the explicit prohibition of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce, there are still people secretly provoking. If they do not show their strength, the Kahn merchants will encounter more excessive things next.
In addition, Kahn also wants Tsunade to explore Zhongzhou.
Tsunade opened her beautiful eyes slightly and asked, "Am I going to Zhongzhou alone?"
"Originally, it would be better for me to go with you, but it's better to leave someone to guard the sacred tree, and there is something in Zhongzhou that I want you to get."
Kahn touched his chin and continued to say to Tsunade, "The ancient Bodhi tree is considered to be the top three treasures in the Douqi Continent. I feel that no one is more suitable to find it than you. The Wood Release Bloodline and the Forest Fruit ability, this kind of plant-based treasure is the most suitable for you."
"And I will find a local in Zhongzhou. If we cooperate with them, it will be better to develop. If you can enter the ancient wilderness, you should not have to wait for the ancient Bodhi tree to be born, or let it appear in advance, I will rush to your side immediately."
Tsunade nodded and said, "Ancient Bodhi Tree? It sounds good. When should I leave?"
Kahn said, "No hurry. You have to fill your space extension bag before you leave, and you have to discuss the cooperation with her."
