The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 401 The Gao Family Takes the Initiative

"Well, the Gao family can't afford to lose now, so we can go and negotiate." After a pause, Tang Yan said:

“We still have Mingyou Valley as a powerful enemy. If we stay in the Xiao family for a long time, we may implicate them in the future.

I have already had a new base built on the outskirts of the city. Gather some people and we'll move there," Tang Yan ordered.

"Okay." Du Shu nodded.

Du Shu and Fang Xuan gathered everyone, and Tang Yan took everyone with him and rushed to the stronghold on the outskirts of the city.

……

Nanhuang City, Gao family, meeting room.

Gao Bufan, the patriarch of the Gao family, sat in the patriarch's seat. The atmosphere in the hall was tense and restless.

After clearing his throat, Gao Bufan started the conversation: "Everyone, I think everyone has heard about the challenge that happened today. What do you think of this elixir power?"

Gao Fa, the second elder of the Gao family, opened up: "Someone framed us, causing us to become enemies with Mingyou Valley.

The last time I went to Mingyou Valley, although the other party accepted the gift, their attitude seemed dissatisfied. There is a high possibility of another conflict between the two families.

The elixir of Wending is indeed of great use to my Gao family.

I suggest that we meet with the person in charge of Wen Ding to see if we can import some in bulk. I think our Gao family is still very influential in Nanhuang City, so they should give us some face!"

"The Second Elder is right." Gao Jinsong, the eldest elder of the Gao family, agreed: "The effects of those pills are amazing. If they can quickly improve our family's strength, we will attack the Zhong family at lightning speed, take down the Zhong family in one fell swoop, and annex the Zhong family's resources.

Even if we face Mingyou Valley, we will still be able to fight!"

"I'm afraid what the Great Elder said is not appropriate. After all, Mingyou Valley is powerful. Even if we defeat the Zhong family, we still have no chance of winning against Mingyou Valley. I think it would be better to buy some pills and send them over, and then make peace with Mingyou Valley. This is the best plan for my Gao family." An old man said in a deep voice.

"The shop that Wen Ding bought was from our Gao family. Gao Jin had a dispute with them before, and the relationship between our two families is not harmonious. If we go to buy pills, will they really give us face?"

Gao Bufan felt a headache listening to everyone's chatter.

He was cursing in his heart, wondering who was throwing dirty water on the Gao family.

Even Mingyou Valley started to hate them. They couldn't even find out who killed their people. And they were greedy. The Gao family sent a lot of things last time. They were very polite, but they were still not satisfied?

After a long while, Gao Bufan said, "The gift we gave to Mingyou Valley last time has already touched the foundation of our family. If we give it to them until they are satisfied, it will definitely be a huge loss for our Gao family.

By then, there will be no need for Mingyou Valley to take action, I'm afraid the Zhong family will be eager to deal with us.

Improving the family's strength is the top priority!"

"What the patriarch said is absolutely right." Hearing Gao Bufan's statement, everyone agreed.

“So, we still have to buy this medicine. Not only must we buy it, but we must buy it in large quantities!

Gao Jin and them don't have much grudge. Since they are open for business, they should resolve any misunderstandings. How can they push the business away? The elder will bring people to visit them later. Don't let the Zhong family get ahead of them!"

"Yes!" Elder Gao responded immediately.

“We can also leak some of the family’s elite forces to the outside world to intimidate Mingyou Valley.” A fierce look flashed in Gao Bufan’s eyes.

"The head of the family is wise!" everyone echoed again.

"Report - Shopkeeper Du from the Wending Dan Shop went to visit the Zhong family early this morning for unknown reasons!" Just as everyone was having a meeting, a spy quickly ran in.

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the Gao family's face changed.

"What did you say? Manager Du went to the Zhong family?" Gao Bufan was startled.

"Yes." The spy confirmed hurriedly.

"What do you think about this matter?" Gao Bufan looked at everyone and asked.

The great elder Gao Jinsong analyzed: "Although the Gao family is stronger than the Zhong family, the Gao family now has a strong enemy, Mingyou Valley, and we also have some minor conflicts with the Wending Danpu.

It is understandable that they did not come to our Gao family first.

However, we must get the elixir that is the best, and when Shopkeeper Du comes out from the Zhong family, we will invite him to come over and have a talk."

"What the great elder said is very true. The elixir that is worth the money is what we need." Gao Bufan sighed and said, "But their elixir is not cheap.

If the price is raised further, even though my Gao family is wealthy, we can’t afford it.”

"If you want to buy more pills at a reasonable price, we are not without advantages." The second elder said, stroking his beard.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to him, and the Great Elder urged, "Second Brother, just say what you think."

“Right now, the only family that has the ability to purchase pills in large quantities is the Zhong family, and our opponent is also the Zhong family.

The Zhong family wanted to purchase the elixir, but they asked Manager Du to go and negotiate in person, which showed no sincerity at all.

Why not let the Great Elder go to visit Fang Ding in person? As long as we are polite, and we are more sincere at the same price, the pills will definitely be sold to us first!"

After hearing the second elder's analysis, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Also, I remember that on the day when Wen Ding opened, the person in charge was not Manager Du, but Tang Yan." The second elder reminded again.

Gao Bufan's eyes lit up and he nodded, "That's right. We can have a better chance if we talk to their person in charge directly. Great Elder, you should leave now and go and ask for the throne."

"Okay!" The great elder agreed readily.

After Gao Bufan gave the price bottom line to the Great Elder, the Great Elder led everyone towards the Wending stronghold.

……

Gao Jinsong headed eastward and finally arrived at the Wending stronghold.

Looking at the situation around him, Gao Jinsong's eyes flashed with deep surprise.

The stronghold covers an area of nearly 1,000 mu. It has no walls, but is planted with a circle of broadleaf trees. This tree is evergreen and has large leaves, which acts as a wall. Behind the trees, a river was dug out, surrounding the stronghold.

I don't know where the river is connected to, but it's still flowing. It looks beautiful and refreshing.

Next to a bridge stands a large stone with the words "Wending" engraved on it.

The buildings inside are arranged in an orderly manner, vaguely forming a prosperous pattern.

Gao Jinsong was amazed that this mansion had the guidance of an expert, so he led his men inside.

"Brother Yan, Gao family's eldest elder Gao Jinsong wants to see you. Should we receive him? If not, I'll kick him out." Tang Yan was practicing sword in the courtyard when he saw Fang Xuan come in and ask.

Tang Yan's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "See, there is no reason to drive customers out."

"Okay, then I'll let them in." Fang Xuan quickly retreated.

Tang Yan didn't put on airs. He changed his clothes and went to the meeting room.

"My name is Gao Jinsong, the eldest elder of the Gao family. Mr. Tang, I've long heard of you!" Seeing Tang Yan coming in, Gao Jinsong immediately stood up and greeted him.

Looking at the smiling elder, Tang Yan also put on a warm smile: "You are too polite, elder. Please take a seat."

Tang Yan asked someone to make a cup of tea. He was not in a hurry and simply chatted with Gao Jinsong about some irrelevant topics.

Seeing Tang Yan's calm appearance, Gao Jinsong lost his temper and said politely, "Mr. Tang, I'm sure you can guess the purpose of my visit this time.

I won't beat around the bush and will just say it directly. The Gao family wants to discuss purchasing cooperation with Mr. Tang. I wonder if Mr. Tang is interested?"
