Chapter 326: Current Situation of Nine Gates(1/2)
Red Pill is bright red all over and its color is like cinnabar. Ye Bai shook it in his hand and it looked like a small metal ball. It was hard to tell what material it was made of.
However, when Ye Bai input some Zixia Qi, a faint red light flashed on the surface of the Red Pill.
Many of the heads of the Nine Sects saw this scene. They were slightly shocked and remained silent.
"It's genuine. How many merit points does Uncle Wu want to exchange for it?"
Wu Guangyuan said with a smile: "Third Master, looking for this red pill will cost me several capable Wu family members. I have provided a lot of subsidies for each of their families and children. Their future support will depend on my Wu family, so I
Not too much, just two hundred merit points, what do you think?"
Ye Bai smiled. Two hundred merit points are equivalent to at least two million US dollars.
Wu Guangyuan has worked hard in Changsha for many years, but even if he sold his entire family fortune, it is estimated to be worth only hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There are more than a dozen Wu families in this mouth, and Wu Guangyuan really dares to ask for them.
Seeing that Ye Bai didn't answer, Wu Guangyuan said sarcastically: "Third Master, this red pearl is a legendary treasure. Even if it is auctioned outside, it will be priceless. If you think it is too expensive, let it be whatever price you think is appropriate."
"One hundred and fifty merit points. If it succeeds, I will accept it."
Wu Guangyuan was overjoyed. Although Red Pill was a treasure, it was of no use to him.
Although it is said that if you eat it, you can be reborn, but it is hard to say whether this thing will kill you.
He doesn't want to have someone dig up his grave one day and take out the Red Pill from his belly.
Compared with this, the life-extending fruit is a real miracle medicine. If you miss it this time, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to redeem it in the future.
Moreover, his bottom line is 100 merit points, and now that he has exceeded 50 merit points, he is guaranteed to make a profit.
"Okay, Third Master, please keep it, and I will use one hundred merit points to exchange for the fruits of strangers."
At this time, Banzhi Li said: "Old Wu, that's not how merit points are used. You give me ten merit points and I'll give you 110,000 US dollars."
Huo Xiangu of the Huo family also hurriedly said: "Uncle Wu, my Huo family will also exchange for twenty merit points."
Wu Guangyuan grinned and said: "Easy to talk about, everyone has it."
Seeing this, even Zhang Qishan also took away twenty merit points from Wu Guangyuan.
In the end, Wu Guangyuan spent 50 merit points and 500,000 U.S. dollars in exchange for a living fruit, and he also earned 50,000 U.S. dollars and 50 merit points.
After this battle, the heads of each of the nine sects realized the importance of the merit points of the nine sects.
After all, you can earn a lot of dollars, but merit points need to be accumulated over time by completing nine tasks.
Next time there is a treasure that extends life and if you don’t have enough merit points, you can only watch helplessly as the treasure is redeemed by others, even if it will be heartbreaking.
Ye Bai nodded, no matter how everyone redeemed, he was the biggest winner.
His purpose in establishing the Nine Gates Presbyterian Council and Merit Points was to firmly control the Nine Gates in his own hands.
No matter how good the relationship is, no matter how powerful the power is, interests must be maintained.
As long as he can continuously provide the treasures that everyone needs and control the power of each family, he has the final say over the Nine Sects.
"Okay, there is a third treasure, and it is also the last one this time."
As he spoke, Ye Bai took out a few more bags of transparent green powder.
3. Shell turtle powder (human grade): It can detoxify hundreds of poisons. Each small portion is worth five contribution points and can be exchanged for ten bags.
Turtle powder that can detoxify hundreds of poisons?
Everyone's eyes lit up, knowing that this was a rare life-saving treasure.
You know, when you go to the tomb, in addition to the traps, the most deadly thing is the weird poison.
After all, for the owner of the tomb, the underground mechanisms may malfunction as the parts age, but some highly toxic substances can remain for a long time.
Therefore, applying poison to funerary objects is a common method used by tomb owners.
With this piece of molting turtle powder, you can feel more at ease when you go to the grave in the future.
But after all, this thing is worth five contribution points. If you buy it back, it will only be used as a treasure for the finale, and will not be wasted by ordinary people.
Soon, Zhang Qishan, Ban Li and Huo Xiangu, who had strong financial resources, took action again and each bought a small bag.
At this point, the merit point exchange meeting ended. Ye Bai warned: "In principle, the treasures you redeem can only be circulated within Jiumen. If I find out that you are selling them out privately, Jiumen will impose heavy penalties, and if you do it again,
When redeeming this kind of treasure, the merit points required are doubled."
As soon as these words came out, the heads of several families looked at each other and did not dare to think of selling the treasure again.
You know, if a longevity-prolonging treasure like the fruit of life is put up for auction at the Crescent Hotel, even if it is really marketable and priceless, it is not impossible to sell it for millions of dollars.
If treasures can really be resold, what kind of tombs and businesses will each family have? Earn nine merit points inside and auction the treasures outside, and the profits gained from it are estimated to be faster than robbing a bank.
Then, Ye Bai singled out the size and scope of the influence of each of the nine families for discussion.
Although the Nine Sects in the original work are powerful, in the end they are just a loose organization. The nine forces operate independently and are not integrated into one.
There are always differences in cooperation, and internal fighting often occurs.
Now Ye Bai wants to twist the nine families into one rope and use the advantages of each family to jointly develop.
For example, Zhang Qishan's Zhang family's power mainly lies in the officialdom. Since Zhang Qishan became the Changsha Defense Officer, he promoted many people surnamed Zhang into the army.
Most of these Zhang family members are from outside the Zhang family. They have been trained by the Zhang family since childhood. Their physique, ability, and methods are far better than ordinary people.
Therefore, these people were quickly promoted in the army, spread out, and held important positions in various positions, becoming an important force for Zhang Qishan.
The power of the Li family led by half Li is mainly in the lower Jiuliu area.
Gambling houses, brothels, and taverns are all involved, and it has attracted many low-level forces in Changsha.
It's like a modern underworld or an ancient gang.
According to the information found by Ye Bai, Li went to Shanghai a few days ago and got connected with someone. He joined the Qinggang and gained a very high seniority. For a while, he was very famous.

Speaking of the Huo family, Huo Xiangu is different from the previous head of the family, Huo Sanniang. She is slightly less courageous, but has stronger leadership and overall outlook.
Under her leadership, the Huo family joined Ye Bai's business circle. As long as the Ye family was involved in the industry, the Huo family would buy shares and receive dividends.
In addition, Huo Xiangu invited Huo Sanniang to come out again, delegated power to her, and asked her to set up a Huo family branch in Peking.
It is said that the Huo family in Peiping has begun to compete with the Crescent Hotel for business.
Ye Bai was a little surprised by the grand layout.
Nowadays, apart from the Ye family, these three families are the most powerful among the Nine Gates and are known as the Three Hegemons of the Nine Gates.
As for Er Erhong, who is in a special situation among the nine sects, he has gradually lost his ambition since he married a girl.
In addition to taking care of the elderly Sijiqing, she also sings opera in the opera garden.
My childhood was more comfortable than Ye Bai's.
Today's nine-door meeting, only Er Erhong did not come.
Ye Bai felt quite sorry for this. Among the nine sects, Er Erhong's talents and methods were no worse than Zhang Qishan's. If he could make good use of the connections and power Si Jiqing left for him, he might even have one more among the three hegemons of the nine sects.
Ba.
After looking at the vacant position belonging to Er Erhong, Ye Bai sighed, everyone has their own ambitions, let them go.
In addition to the three families above, let’s talk about the Jie family, Wu family, and Qi family of the nine families.
After the fifth master of the Jie family retired, the power of the Jie family was basically handed over to Xie Jiu.
Jie Jiu in the original work is called Master Jie Jiu. He is the ninth among the nine sects. He is the best at layout and management and has helped Zhang Qishan a lot.
Nowadays, under Ye Bai's training, Jie Jiu's potential has been fully explored and is much more dazzling than the character in the original work.
He is already half of Ye Bai's confidants. In addition to managing the Jie family, Jie Jiu is responsible for all Ye Bai's forces in Shanghai and abroad.
In fact, Jie Jiu also has some secret power to mobilize power, and often deals with Zhang Rishan.
Wu Guangyuan of the Wu family is good at research. In recent years, the Wu family has become increasingly famous in the Hunan tomb robbing community.
He has three sons, all of whom are adults.
Among them, the youngest Wu puppy, whom Ye Bai is familiar with, is the most famous. He is called the King of Dogs by people in the world. The dogs he raises can understand human speech. Every time the Wu family goes to their graves, Wu puppy will always rush to the front with the dogs.

If any family among the Nine Sects is still fully engaged in tomb robbing business, it must be the Wu family.
Apart from going to the grave, the Wu family basically has no source of profit.
Ye Bai was also surprised. Jiumen was rich in internal resources. Drinking soup with any family was safer and more profitable than going to the tomb.
But Wu Guangyuan was completely focused on the tomb.
In his words, the Wu family started by robbing tombs, so how could they leave behind the skills of their ancestors?
Moreover, Wu Guangyuan also has a dream, which is to one day explore the tomb of Emperor Qin.
Knowing that Wu Guangyuan had this dream, Ye Bai had to give Wu Guangyuan a thumbs up. He is truly an aspiring young man in the world of tomb robbers.
If it were after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Wu family would have been the villains shot by the whole family.
