Su Chen's plan was very simple. He told Feng Qingwan that if the Henggu Sect didn't know what was good for them, she could threaten them to reveal the cultivation method of the high-quality white jade barley.
Of course, this was just to scare the Henggu Sect.
Even if the cultivation method was revealed, it would be useless without Su Chen's super fertilizer.
But the Henggu Sect didn't dare to take the risk. After all, the white jade barley was the lifeline of the Henggu Sect. If it was lost, the Henggu Sect would collapse in an instant.
Although the plan was a little underhanded, it was good enough as long as it worked.
After all, as long as the Henggu Sect cooperated with Su Chen, it seemed that they would lose a part of their profits in a short period of time. However, with Su Chen's super fertilizer, the initial loss was nothing. In the end, as long as the cooperation went smoothly, it would still be a win-win situation.
But this was just Su Chen's plan.
Whether it could go smoothly or not depended on the Henggu Sect's long-term vision.
"Prince Su, the people from the Henggu Sect will come tomorrow. Do you want to see them?"
Su Chen shook his head. "I won't show up. I believe in your ability."
Feng Qingwan said gratefully, "Thank you, Prince Su. I will do my best to get this done."
…
The next day, the Henggu Sect sent people early in the morning.
And there were many of them.
They rushed over from the Henggu Sect overnight, and there was an elder of the Henggu Sect among them.
Feng Qingwan was worried that she couldn't handle the situation alone, so she called Han Feimo and several senior members of the Feng Family over to negotiate with the Henggu Sect.
Although Su Chen didn't show up, he didn't go far and listened in secretly.
The Henggu Sect came aggressively and didn't come to negotiate at all. They pressured Feng Qingwan as soon as they arrived, trying to force her to reveal the cultivation method of the white jade barley.
But when Feng Qingwan threatened to reveal the cultivation method, the Henggu Sect immediately backed down.
Once the cultivation method of the white jade barley was revealed, the Henggu Sect would have to pay a huge price. They couldn't afford it at all.
Before this, only the Heng Valley Sect knew how to cultivate white jade barley. Only the Heng Valley Sect had the feng shui conditions to cultivate white jade barley on a large scale.
But now, someone had improved the cultivation method of the White Jade Barley, allowing it to adapt to more environments. Not only that, but the quality of the White Jade Barley cultivated by this new method was even better than the White Jade Barley produced by the Heng Valley Sect.
If word of this got out, the reputation of the Heng Valley Sect would plummet, and the White Jade Barley would no longer be monopolized by the Heng Valley Sect.
If they lost this advantage, the economic lifeline of the Henggu Sect would be cut off, and the decline would become permanent.
Even though they were extremely displeased, the Heng Valley Sect could only brace themselves and continue to negotiate with Feng Qingwan.
Fortunately, Feng Qingwan's request was not too much.
They were only borrowing the Heng Valley Sect's sales channels to distribute the white jade barley.
The Heng Gu Sect's sales channels were all ready-made. The only problem was that this would inevitably reduce the Heng Gu Sect's market share.
The following negotiations revolved around the market share.
The Heng Valley Sect would definitely strive to take the lion's share. Feng Qingwan wasn't willing to be outdone and fought for it with all her might.
The negotiations would fall into a stalemate for a while, and it would be difficult to make any progress.
The Heng Valley Sect elder was delaying.
He couldn't make a decision on such an important matter alone. He had already sent the news back to the Heng Valley Sect. In the next few days, the Heng Valley Sect's upper echelons would most likely arrive at the Immortal Dawn Sect.
Business negotiations in the cultivation world were ultimately a competition of strength.
The Heng Valley Sect's ranking among the 72 prefectures was much higher than the Immortal Dawn Sect. Even though the Heng Valley Sect was a cultivation sect that focused on business development and wasn't good at fighting, it was still much stronger than the Immortal Dawn Sect. If they wanted to have more advantages in this negotiation, they had to display their strength.
In the end, it would develop into a contest between the Heng Valley Sect and the Immortal Dawn Sect.
Whoever had the bigger fist would have the greater advantage.
Su Chen had already expected this.
It wasn't a big problem.
The Feng Family and the Han Family weren't enough to represent the Immortal Dawn Sect, but Su Chen could.
Not only that, Su Chen could also represent the Dragon Temple.
Under the alliance of the strong, even if they couldn't completely suppress the Heng Valley Sect, they could definitely make the Heng Valley Sect understand the situation.
In the next half a month, all the major forces entered Longshou City, and the entire Longshou City fell into an extremely tense atmosphere.
The negotiations were getting more and more intense by the day.
But Su Chen had already left Longshou City.
He was preparing more super fertilizer in Longxu Mountain to expand the scale of the white jade barley.
Su Chen had full confidence in the outcome of the negotiation. He could at least take 30% of the market share.
This was almost the limit that the Heng Valley Sect could take.
Su Chen could actually fight for more, but there was no need for that.
No matter how much he expanded the scale of the white jade barley, he couldn't compete with the Heng Valley Sect in a short period of time.
Even if he only took 30% of the market share, Su Chen couldn't directly take out so many resources.
If Su Chen went all out, taking 20% of the white jade barley's market share would be his limit.
Anyway, Su Chen's ultimate goal was to sell the super fertilizer. Su Chen didn't care how much the white jade barley could be sold.
Although it was profitable, it was tiring.
Farming required a lot of manpower, a lot of land, and a huge amount of spirit energy.
It was so convenient to prepare the super fertilizer. One person could easily do it, the cost was low, and Su Chen could completely monopolize it.
And the super fertilizer had a wide range of uses. Growing the white jade barley was just one aspect. The real use of the super fertilizer was to cultivate medicinal herbs.
When the super fertilizer became famous, all the alchemists in Spirit Mountain and Jingzhou would be willing to pay a high price to buy the super fertilizer.
At that time, it would really start to make a lot of money.
The small fights now were all to pave the way for this.
Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What a sinister laugh. Are you preparing to do something bad?"
A graceful figure suddenly walked over. It was Ah Ke.
She had been following Su Chen all this time.
Seeing Su Chen open up wastelands and cultivate day and night, Ah Ke felt very puzzled.
The dignified Dragon God of the Dragon Clan stayed in the field every day as a farmer. What was he thinking?
The Dragon Clan was a carnivore through and through. Not eating meat but eating grains?
This was a degradation of the level of life!
But Ah Ke didn't dare to say this. Before her master left, she had told her to do her best to assist Su Chen and do her best to protect his safety. Other than that, she was not to ask about anything else. Ah Ke had never seen her master care so much about anyone, so she also paid special attention to Su Chen.
Su Chen stopped smiling and asked Ah Ke, "Miss Ah Ke, do you like spirit stones?"
"Of course, who doesn't like it in this world?"
Su Chen chuckled. "Then you should like it here, because you're not looking at grains all over the ground, but Spirit Stones all over the ground!"
