They worried that the other party's intentions were not good.
That they would make some excessive demands.
For example, wanting to gain control of the civilization behind them, and so on.
Although having a Celestial God force as a backer was a good thing,
they were very likely to bear heavy pressure because of it.
After all, any Celestial God force in the Great Wilderness was by no means benevolent.
Without benefits, how could they possibly provide shelter to the outside world?
Because of this, although they envied Azure Domain, they had no intention of becoming an affiliate of a Celestial God force like Azure Domain.
Moreover, they were fundamentally different from Azure Domain.
Their civilization had not encountered any crisis and was developing well, so naturally they did not need any backer.
Instead of looking for a backer, it was better to strengthen themselves and be their own master.
But just now, they were really afraid that this envoy from the Celestial God force would make excessive demands; if that were the case, it would be difficult for them to deal with.
“I wonder, Great Envoy, what kind of transaction do you have in mind?”
The Tiger Clan God-Demon Ancestor asked.
If it was just a transaction, they would be slightly relieved.
Even if they had to give up profits, or even lose a little money, as long as they could appease this envoy and not provoke a powerful enemy, it would be the greatest blessing.
“The rules of this envoy's transaction can be discussed later.”
“You can each speak first and talk about your thoughts?”
The Minister of Revenue did not rush and stroked his chin as he spoke.
Among the three departments of the imperial court, only the Ministry of Revenue managed the most complex affairs.
Taxes, corvée labor, household registration, national treasury, trade, and so on, were all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Minister of Revenue being able to ascend to the head of the Ministry of Revenue naturally meant he had outstanding abilities.
He knew how to occupy the dominant position in negotiations and maximize his own interests.
The Feather Clan God-Demon Ancestor opened his mouth and said: “Our civilization's external elixir trade is basically based on exchanging five portions of medicinal herbs for four mid-grade elixirs.”
The other God-Demons also spoke one after another, basically in line with what the Feather Clan God-Demon Ancestor said.
However, the Feather Clan Ancestor and the other God-Demons exchanged glances and said slightly: “If the esteemed envoy is not very willing to trade, exchanging five portions of medicinal herbs for four low-grade elixirs is also possible.”
The so-called low-grade elixir is the overall medicinal effect of the medicinal herb combination itself.
The medicinal effect of a mid-grade elixir is 50% higher than that of a low-grade elixir.
The medicinal effect of a high-grade elixir is twice as high as that of a low-grade elixir.
The first type is a normal elixir.
The second and third types can only be achieved by some alchemists of the same level.
These God-Demon forces had already decided in their hearts not to offend the Celestial God force behind Azure Domain.
Therefore, they were willing to give profits to the Celestial God force behind Azure Domain, only wishing to not have too much contact with it.
“Oh? That's a bit higher than Azure Domain.” A strange color appeared on the Minister of Revenue's face. He had already learned from Azure Origin Ancestor that these civilizations had transactions with a certain civilization specializing in alchemy.
Previously, Azure Domain was too far away from that Elixir Domain.
Travel was inconvenient, so it did not join.
Therefore, Azure Domain's elixirs were lower in price.
The Minister of Revenue hid the strange color in his eyes and looked at the God-Demons and said.
“No, it's quite the opposite of what you said!”
“This envoy can give you four corresponding high-grade elixirs for every five portions of medicinal herbs, with no limit on grade.” The Minister of Revenue's lips curled up slightly.
“What!?” The six God-Demons' hearts skipped a beat.
............
Red Maple Elixir Domain.
A Celestial God-level civilization.
And different from ordinary Celestial God forces.
Red Maple Elixir Domain focuses on alchemy, with alchemists accounting for 30% of its population. Its ancestor is a Celestial God-level alchemist!
Under the Red Maple Elixir Domain's command are connected hundreds of civilization lands.
Those hundreds of civilization lands have a trading relationship with the Red Maple Elixir Domain.
Each civilization land sends the medicinal herbs it harvests to the Red Maple Elixir Domain for refining, and after the Red Maple Elixir Domain collects a reward, it takes back the corresponding elixirs.
This transaction has continued for who knows how many years.
The Red Maple Elixir Domain has always maintained a monopoly.
At this moment, Red Maple Divine Hall.
Red Maple Ancestor was sitting high at the head of the table, looking calmly at a group of Earth God Realm alchemists under his command.
This was a council held by the Red Maple Elixir Domain every hundred years.
“Ancestor, now the Red Maple Elixir Domain is becoming more and more famous in the Great Wilderness, and even some forces from the Central World have begun to contact the Red Maple Elixir Domain to seek elixirs.”
“This little god thinks that the trade standard between elixirs and medicinal herbs should be adjusted. It hasn't increased in so many years......”
An old Earth God Realm alchemist with white hair opened his mouth.
When their Red Maple Elixir Domain was first established, it had nothing.
Therefore, it lowered the price of elixirs and sought merchants with extremely low profits, such as five portions of medicinal herbs for four mid-grade elixirs. Over tens of thousands of years, the Red Maple Elixir Domain has also jumped from the weakest elixir domain at the beginning to a Celestial God Elixir Domain, and it has also produced a group of closely connected customers.
But since they reached the Celestial God force,
that little profit was no longer enough for development, but instead began to subsidize.
Therefore, the alchemists of the Red Maple Elixir Domain had long been dissatisfied.
It was just that the previous Red Maple Ancestor had been in seclusion refining Celestial God elixirs, and they had no chance to speak. Now that the Red Maple Ancestor rarely appeared at the centennial council, they naturally had to mention it.
After all, the master of the Red Maple Elixir Domain is the Red Maple Ancestor.
Only if the other party agreed to raise the price could the Red Maple Elixir Domain raise the price to all the civilizations that traded with them.
“Yes, this old ancestor came out of seclusion precisely because of this matter.”
Red Maple Ancestor happened to have this intention.
“From today onwards, it can be announced to the civilizations that the trade ratio of elixir medicinal herbs will be changed from five portions for four mid-grade elixirs to five portions of medicinal herbs for three mid-grade elixirs, with the upper limit being Celestial God low-level elixirs!” Red Maple Ancestor said with a smile on his face.
This ratio is the normal ratio for major elixir domains in the Celestial Void Realm to trade with the outside world. In the past, the Red Maple Elixir Domain had no strength or customers, so it naturally had to give way to interests everywhere, but now, the Red Maple Elixir Domain has the qualifications in all aspects.
It was time to return to the normal trade ratio.
After all, he was also very dissatisfied with this trading system.
It's just that he didn't have the guts to say it before.
Hearing this, everyone present smiled knowingly.
As for worrying about losing customers after modifying the trade ratio?
At most, those farther away would be lost, but those closer could only rely on their Red Maple Elixir Domain, after all, the entire Celestial Void Realm was like this.
“It's not good! It's not good!”
Just at this moment, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside the Divine Hall.
Afterwards, Red Maple Ancestor saw an Earth God Realm martial artist break into the hall.
“Reporting to Ancestor, six civilization lands have simultaneously withdrawn from the trading relationship with the Red Maple Elixir Domain!”
Originally, the Earth God Realm alchemists and the Red Maple Elixir Domain were dissatisfied with this Earth God Realm martial artist breaking into the Divine Hall, but when they heard his report, they immediately frowned slightly.
They had just decided on the modified trade ratio and had not yet sent it out, so how could the matter of civilization lands withdrawing from trade suddenly occur?
“Which six civilization lands are they? Did they mention the reason why?”
Red Maple Ancestor asked with narrowed eyes.
“Reporting to Ancestor, they are the Feather Clan's Old Feather Civilization, the Human Clan's Skywave Civilization...... They didn't say why they withdrew from the Red Maple Elixir Domain trade, but this little god learned from the spies planted in their civilization lands.”
“Near them, another alchemy force appeared, offering a price of exchanging five portions of medicinal herbs for four high-grade elixirs, and these civilization lands abandoned us in an instant!”
“Moreover, the most important thing is that the alchemy force's refining of elixirs is not limited by grade!”
The Earth God Realm martial artist swallowed and said respectfully.
Even he was a little tempted by this price and wanted to leave the Red Maple Elixir Domain and join that force.
“What!?”
In the Red Maple Divine Hall, Red Maple Ancestor and a group of Earth God Realm alchemists suddenly stood up, their expressions greatly shocked!

Chapter 132 The Decision of Red Maple Ancestor,
............
“How could there be an alchemy force promising such a trade ratio? Don't they want profits?”
The Earth God Realm alchemist who had previously proposed modifying the trade ratio's expression changed drastically.
Refining elixirs is not free!
It consumes a lot of the alchemist's divine soul.
For each portion of medicinal herbs or every five portions of medicinal herbs, the alchemist must take a portion to compensate for their own divine soul recovery and cultivation.
