Within the Hehuan Sect, there is a strict hierarchy.
Only the ancestors in the Void Refining Stage can mobilize the sixth-level items in the warehouse. Even the Sixth Hall Master who is apparently in charge of the warehouse does not dare to move privately!
The hierarchical system is strict and has become the unified rule of all the top sects in Daozhou in the East Region.
For example, there is an unknown rule secretly in Dongyu Daozhou, that is, under the top forces, no force is allowed to secretly hide sixth-level treasures.
Even the first-rate forces with the Divine Transformation stage cannot do it. Once a high-level treasure is hidden privately, the top forces of the Shangzong will know about it.
The method of dealing with the top sects in the Demonic Way is relatively simple, just three words - kill the ten clans!
As for the top sects of the Righteous Path, the treatment may be lighter. Although it is not possible to kill the ten clans, it can still be done to kill its senior officials and make the descendants of their families slaves forever!
Of course, this is the result of hiding it privately. It would be okay if the Shangzong rewarded it.
But the Shangzong is not a fool. How could someone not related to him give a sixth-level treasure to a sheep raised in a pen?
After hearing what the widow said, Cao Meng also knew that it might be a bit troublesome to get all the materials on the teacher's list.
It seems that the plan to have the master refine a big sword for him can only be put on hold.
Still, keep Shishi next to you and let him play!
……
In the Hehuan Sect's warehouse, the six hall masters gathered together, apparently a meeting was about to take place!
This meeting in the warehouse was organized by Gongsun Meng, Bailiqin, and Helianqi.
Although the three of them have half of the power of the warehouse, if they want to take control of Cao Meng, they have to bring Mei Wen, Le Yao, and Zi Mo into the water and unite the front.
Especially Le Yao and Zi Mo, these two are not the ordinary masters of the Divine Stage Hall.
In terms of generation alone, these two people are of the same generation as Nangong Yan and Xifeng, and a generation older than Concubine Duanmu and Han Sijing!
However, Le Yao and Zi Mo are not as qualified as Nangong Yan. They have been practicing for nearly a thousand years and have not been able to advance to the Void Refining stage.
However, the strength of the two of them is very good, and they are both at the seventh level of divine transformation.
Due to qualification issues, the two of them were not destined to be the peak master or sect master, so they could only get a fat job and work as the master of the warehouse.
In fact, the Hehuan Sect has many high-ranking people who are not qualified enough to become gods.
For these periods of transformation into gods, the senior officials of Hehuan Sect will arrange some good jobs for them.
For example, the guard guards one side of the sect and guards some sect properties.
These fat jobs are already the greatest preferential treatment given to them by the elders of the sect.
Let them have enough money to make money, and let them have a possibility of attaining the stage of enlightenment and refining the void!
……
Because of their seniority and strength, Le Yao and Zi Mo had to be treated with courtesy even by Concubine Duanmu and Han Sijing.
However, the two of them have been practicing all year round. Even in high-level meetings, they basically do not participate.
But because of Cao Meng's previous reports, the two of them were also very uncomfortable!
But the Fifth Patriarch Wan Ling gave the order, what can the two of them do? I can only pay taxes!
They have stolen taxes for seven or eight hundred years, and now they suddenly have to pay taxes. It is really uncomfortable!
Just when the two of them were feeling uncomfortable, Gongsun Meng, Baili Qin, and Helianqi suddenly used the magic trick to tell them that there was a way to recover their losses.
Therefore, Le Yao and Zi Mo gave these three juniors a chance to attend the internal meeting of the warehouse master!
"You three, Gongsun Meng, speak directly if you have anything to say, don't waste our time!"
Le Yao came to the meeting with these four juniors today just to get benefits and make up for her loss in paying taxes, not to sit here and drink tea.
"You three, please don't make fun of me and Senior Sister Le Yao, otherwise don't blame us for teaching you three juniors a lesson!"
Zi Mo also has a bad temper. After all, he suddenly has to pay taxes. Who can be in a good mood?
"Two uncles, the six of us are now worried about paying taxes, but the Cao thief is the one who caused all this!"
Gongsun Meng first drew everyone's anger to Cao Meng before he could complete his plan!
"Don't talk nonsense, don't waste time!"
Le Yao and Zi Mo have no time to listen to nonsense, after all, their time is very precious!
"Two uncles, Cao Meng has caused us so much loss, we can't let him go easily!"
"Cao Meng's Zhiyang Pearl, Pearl Milk Tea, and Wenxian Machine are all provided by our warehouse!"
"The net profit of Cao Meng's things is over 70%, but how much did we get?"
Being scolded by Le Yao and Zi Mo, Gongsun Meng had no choice but to speak out what was on his mind.
"Gongsun Meng, which materials do you mean to increase prices?"
After all, Le Yao is an experienced practitioner who has been practicing for thousands of years. How could he not understand what the other party meant.
"If our warehouse hadn't guaranteed those materials and Cao's thief's things, would he have earned so much?"
"He should give us some of the 70% of his net profit."
“The three of us finally agreed to double the original price of the materials!”
Gongsunmeng, Bailiqin, and Helianqi said something, and it was obvious that the three of them had discussed everything long ago.
“Twice as much, isn’t it a bit too much?”
"I'm afraid Cao Meng won't agree!"
Mei Wen, who had been silent until now, spoke weakly when she heard the words.
She felt that if the price increased a little, Cao Meng might accept it.
But Gongsun Meng, Baili Qin, and He Lianqi wanted to double the price.
Cao Meng is not a fool, so how could the other party agree?
"We just increased a little. Cao Meng's profit margin is so big, it's not much for him!"
"Even if we triple the price of these materials, Cao Meng's net profit will still be at least 50%!"
"Junior sister Mei Wen, 50% profit is quite a lot!"
Gongsun Meng felt that he guaranteed Cao Meng's net profit of 50%, which was already a lot.
If I were a greedy person, I would have been thankful to have left Cao Meng 30%.
"Gongsun Meng, just follow the plan of the three of you!"
Le Yao and Zi Mo discussed it and thought it was feasible.
Cao Meng should pay some price for daring to report them.
Mei Min saw that Le Yao and Zi Mo had agreed, and together with Gongsun Meng and others, it was completely five to one. What else could she say?
Just like this, Gongsun Meng, Baili Qin, and He Lianqi quickly made arrangements and started to make Cao Meng a hindrance.
……
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
In the past few days, Cao Meng had been working peacefully and did not go out to cause trouble, but unpleasant things still happened.
In the warehouse, the price of materials was suddenly increased, and it was tripled in one go.
"Nana, can you play with these for me?"
After Cao Meng got the news, he was very angry.
Originally, after deducting the material cost and labor cost, only 80% of the profit was left, of which it was used to raise the big goblin, the female devil, the wronged senior sister, Shen Aoxue, and some profits were shared.
There was not much left in his hands, and he was still throwing money at Sixiang City.
You must know that Cao Meng is completely a big customer of the warehouse, providing food and clothing for his parents.
Now that the Hehuan Sect's warehouse has increased the price for itself, this is a trick to take advantage of the situation.
……
Cao Meng learned from Mei Wen that the trigger of this incident was Gongsun Meng, Baili Qin, and He Lianqi.
So he came to the warehouse and met Gongsun Meng, Bailiqin, and Helianqi.
Gongsunmeng, Bailiqin, and Helianqi had long expected that Cao Meng would come to the door, so they had been waiting for Cao Meng in the warehouse these days.
"Three uncles, are you sure you want to do this?" Cao Meng looked at Gongsun Meng and the three of them and asked. Cao Meng planned to give the three of them a chance.
Otherwise, don't blame yourself for being rude and use ruthless tactics!
"Cao Meng, why can't you do it in the warehouse?"
Gongsun Meng was not afraid of Cao Meng's attack at all. Even though her cultivation level was lower than Cao Meng's, she had no fear at all.
"Nephew Cao Meng, we know that you have high cultivation level, we are not your opponent.
But we warn you, the warehouse is an important area of the sect. If you do something here privately, you cannot be held responsible for any losses caused! ”
Bailiqin and Helianqi warned Cao Meng. Of course, if Cao Meng insisted on taking action, they wouldn't mind using Cao Meng to deal with some confusing matters!
They have been in charge of the warehouse for hundreds of years, and they have some bad debts, so if they can handle it well, it is naturally the best way!
"Three uncles, I don't dare to take action. Otherwise, what will happen if you put all your bad debts on me later?"
Cao Meng didn't dare to take action, as he would do it later.
What should Bailiqi and the others do if they regard themselves as debt collectors and put all the losses incurred over the years on themselves?
By then, he might have been charged with robbing thousands of kilograms of elixir without doing anything.
It's like a joke from my hometown, where the King of Hell took advantage of the monkey to break into the underworld and randomly change the book of life and death. The cows and horses raised by his descendants licked the life span of decades!
……
Gongsun Meng, Baili Qin, and He Lianqi calmed down when they saw that Cao Meng had no intention of taking action!
"Three uncles, if you confirm that you want to play this game for me, I advise you to think twice before you act!"
Not only did Cao Meng not surrender to Gongsun Meng, Baili Qin, and He Lianqi, he changed his identity and threatened the three of them, not caring at all that the warehouse was a supplier!
"Nephew Cao Meng, the net profit of your property is too high, you have made a lot of money!"
"And those materials are in short supply recently, and we went through a lot of trouble to get them, so naturally we have to charge a little more expensive!"
What Gongsunmeng said was righteous, Bailiqin and Helianqi were still echoing beside him.
They believe that Cao Meng is a smart man and knows how to choose between earning a little less and earning nothing!
"Okay, okay!"
After Cao Meng said "ok" three times in a row, his expression suddenly changed and he dropped his cruel words:
"I hope these uncles will not regret it!"
Cao Meng put down his harsh words and left directly.
He has given Gongsun Meng, Baili Qin, and Helianqi a chance, but they don't want them, so don't blame yourself for making them regret it!
"What's going on with Cao Meng?"
Baili Qin and He Lianqi looked at Cao Meng without any nostalgia and ran away directly. The figure turned out to be far away, and they were a little confused. They understood what the other party wanted?
"What are you afraid of!"
"This guy just talks hard and wants to scare us!"
Although Gongsun Meng was also a little puzzled, at this time, she had to stabilize her military morale.
Bailiqin and Helianqi heard Gongsun Meng's analysis and felt that it made sense!
"The thief Cao should still have some inventory in his hands. I would like to see how long the other party's inventory can last?"
Gongsun Meng estimated that Cao Meng's toughness lay in his inventory, so he dared to threaten him.
"I bet he will surrender to us within ten days and a half!"
Gongsun Meng didn't believe how long the inventory in Cao Meng's hands could last.
As long as the inventory in Cao's hands is exhausted, he will inevitably succumb to them.
Cao Meng: Hahaha!
Master, there are plenty of ways to deal with you!
……
At Cao Meng's residence at Suqin Peak, the great fairy Xia Yulan saw Cao Meng coming back and said:
"Cao Meng, you went to discuss with Gongsun Meng and the others. Didn't you reach an agreement?"
Xia Yulan noticed that Cao Meng's face was ashen, and she roughly guessed what the situation was.
"Hmm!"
Cao Meng nodded and then said:
"Those three women thought they had me under control and wanted me to surrender. How could I surrender!"
Cao Meng has already thought about how to clean up the warehouse and make those three people cry!
"What to do next?"
Seeing that the matter was not settled, Xia Yulan frowned and said:
"Otherwise, call your master over, or I call my master over and put pressure on the three of them directly!"
The warehouse is a special area in the Hehuan Sect, and even the sect leader cannot take the warehouse too far.
Therefore, Xia Yulan thought of asking Nangong Yan and Xifeng, the ancestors of the Void Refining Stage, to put pressure on the warehouse to restore the material prices to their original values.
Xia Yulan didn't believe that the six hall masters in the warehouse could be better than the good ancestors in the Void Refining Stage.
"No need!"
Cao Meng politely declined the big goblin's proposal. If he still needed to call Nangong Yan and the others for such a trivial matter, even if he had to clean up a few losers, there would be no need for Cao Meng to hang out in the Hehuan Sect!
"Aren't they going to raise prices on raw materials?"
"We have also raised prices. Now we are raising the prices of Zhiyangzhu, Pearl Milk Tea, Wenxianji... I will raise the prices as many times as they increase!"
Isn’t it just a price increase? Cao Meng thinks who can’t!
The warehouse wants to increase the price of materials, and they want to make themselves uncomfortable.
He raised the price of Zhiyang Pearl to make those sect disciples feel uncomfortable, and asked these people to make Gongsun Meng, Baili Qin, and He Lianqi feel uncomfortable!
"You little bastard, you want to take advantage of the disciples of the sect, but you are attacking the warehouse!"
Xia Yulan was not stupid. After Cao Meng's prompting, she reacted immediately.
Xia Yulan estimated that if this matter got serious, even the six hall masters of the warehouse would not feel good about it!
"Hmm!"
Cao Meng nodded, then took out the Wenxian Machine and sent price increase notices to those employees.
……
Over at the Hehuan Sect cafeteria, it was still the same as before, with many sect disciples buying the Sun Pearl.
"This is the spiritual stone to buy three hundred first-order Sun Pearls!"
Zong Xueka, a true disciple, has been in the half-step golden elixir stage for some time. She plans to buy 300 Zhiyang Pearls to go back to the realm and reach the golden body golden elixir stage.
She handed the 2,100 low-grade spiritual stones she had prepared to the maid, and waited for the maid to hand over the 300 first-order Sun Pearls to her.
But Zong Xue didn't know that she was late. The first-order Sun Pearl and seven low-grade spiritual stones were the previous price.
Now the price of a first-order Zhiyang Pearl has risen to twenty-one low-grade spiritual stones.
"Junior sister, the price of Zhiyang Pearl has gone up. You can buy a hundred of these spiritual stones!"
The maid in the cafeteria was not in a hurry to give the Sun Pearl to the other party, but said something awkward.
"What?"
Zong Xue was shocked when she heard this and scolded:
"Even if you increase the price, you can't double it in one go. It's too shameful for you to do this!"
The more Zong Xue thought about it, the angrier he became. You must know that the earliest first-order Sun Pearl cost only five low-grade spiritual stones, but later it increased to seven yuan.
Now the price of the Zhiyang Pearl has tripled, to twenty-one low-grade spiritual stones. This is simply terrifying! (End of chapter)
