Chapter 32 The shopkeeper, do you want to collect the elixir?

"I heard that the first thing many monks do when they come to Yu County is to taste my Chen family's blue-green fish."

Chen Nianzhi listened with a smile and began to collect spiritual peaches.

The spirit peach tree grows very fast, this year it has reached the first-grade top grade, and has produced more than 160 spirit peaches.

He picked 130 pieces, and planned to put [-] pieces into the clan treasury, sell [-] pieces at Yuyang Fang, and keep the remaining [-] or so pieces for himself to cultivate and entertain guests.

Early the next morning, Chen Nianzhi said goodbye to his uncle and two siblings, and followed Chen Changlu and others to Lingzhou Lake.

Because they had to bring live fish to Yuyangfang, a few people could only hold the rented Huoyun Mara fish, so the journey was not fast, and it took more than ten days to reach Yuyang. Square.

This Yuyangfang is the only Xiuxianfang city within tens of thousands of miles in Yu County. There are hundreds of immortal families, large and small, in Yu County, plus thousands of scattered cultivators, basically relying on this square and city to communicate with each other.

And this square market has always been jointly controlled by the six foundation-building immortal clans, and it stands to reason that the Chen family is also one of them.

It's just that the Chen family declined overnight 60 years ago, and they were unable to send foundation-building monks to garrison here, so the Chen family lost a share of Yuyangfang City's tax revenue.

You must know that Yuyangfang City has great interests. The annual tax revenue alone exceeds [-] spirit stones. Even if the six major families are divided equally, each can get nearly a thousand spirit stones.

Unfortunately, it is precisely because the interests of Yuyangfang City are too great that the slightest carelessness will cause the peeping of demon cultivators and foreign cultivators, so a large number of strong people must be stationed.

The six major families in Yu County, except the Chen family, all sent a foundation-building cultivator to guard here, and the Chen family did not contribute, so naturally this huge source of tax revenue was missing.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Chen Nianzhi came to Yuyangfang. He looked at Yuyangfang with curiosity.

Seeing his expression, Chen Changlu explained from the side, "Don't underestimate this Yuyangfang City."

"There are five foundation builders and more than 500 Qi training monks stationed in this Yuyangfang. They join forces to activate the Heavenly Sword Demon Slaying Formation. Even the demons of the Purple Mansion may not be able to get any benefits."

The two walked while chatting, and soon arrived at the Changqing Building of the Chen family.

The Chen Clan's Immortal Clan still has three shops left in Yuyangfang City, one of which is leased to other Little Immortal Clan.

The two rooms for personal use are Changqing Building and Changqing Pavilion. Changqing Pavilion is a shop where the family accepts medicine and other immortality supplies. Changqing Building is one of the only three restaurants in the city.

Since the Chen family opened up Lingzhou Lake more than ten years ago, with the delicacy of Cangqing Lingyu, the business of Changqinglou has become more and more prosperous, and it has gradually compared the other two.

Especially in recent years, with the increase in the output of Cangqing Lingyu, Changqinglou has earned more than [-] Lingshi each year.

This alone accounts for [-]% of the family's annual income.

In addition, the output of Lingzhou Lake has increased in recent years, and the elixir that the family has been operating for hundreds of years has gradually matured, so the family's deficit has been gradually smoothed out, not only reaching the balance of payments, but also slightly. balance.

If the Daqingshan Spirit Vein is not mortgaged and the family can still operate the business of the Five Elements Essence to Tianxu Mountain, then the annual balance of the family treasury may reach seven or eight hundred spirit stones.

"It seems that this year's harvest is really good."

Several people waited for Lingyu to Changqing Tower, and the second elder came out to greet everyone.

With a smile on his face, he asked everyone to put the spirit fish in the backyard fish pond for stocking. This spirit fish will not be sold in a day.

Compared with ordinary monster meat, Cangqing Lingyu is not only delicious, but also freshly slaughtered, so it is much more delicious.

Many monks in Yu County want to taste this delicious food, but the number of Cangqing Lingyu is limited, so Changqinglou can only sell it in limited quantities every ten days.

After releasing the spirit fish, Chen Nianzhi went to Changqing Pavilion again. He consigned 450 spirit peaches to Changqing Pavilion and bought [-] spirit stones.

He has been doing this business for several years. Although he gave [-]% of the income of Ling Tao to the family, it saved him the effort of selling and expanded the business for the family. It was also a good deal.

After doing all this, he let his acquaintance lead the way to Xuanming Pavilion.

Xuan Ming Pavilion is the property of the Mu family among the six immortal families in Yu County. The Mu family is the oldest family in Yu County and has been passed down for more than 600 years.

In the past 600 years, although the Mu family has not had any ancestors from the Zifu, the foundation-building cultivators have continued from generation to generation. After their management, the Mu family has opened up the largest elixir garden in Yu County.

It is said that their family has nearly [-] acres of spiritual fields, and they grow several times as many spiritual medicines as the Chen family. Relying on this spiritual medicine garden, which has been in operation for hundreds of years, they have trained the only second-order high-grade alchemist in Yu County.

Even the seniors of Tianxu Mountain Jiang Laozu and Qingyang Sect sometimes need their high-level elixir.

It is precisely because of this that the Mu family always has a way to get a foundation building pill. Counting the three Mu family foundation building on the Qingyang Sect side, there are seven foundation building cultivators in their family.

Its patriarch, Mu Xuanming, is also a great foundation-building cultivator on the eighth floor, second only to the most powerful Lin clan in Yu County.

Chen Nianzhi was missing an adjuvant to improve his alchemy skills, so he immediately thought of this Xuanming Pavilion.

A monk with an outstanding appearance like him is often more eye-catching. In addition, he is dressed in white clothes like snow, and he can be called a rich god like jade.

Similar to Tianxu Pavilion, Xuanming Pavilion and other elixir shops don't see a few customers all day long, and generally those who buy elixir are regular customers, so there is only one shopkeeper in the shop at this time.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged female nun. When he saw Chen Nianzhi, his eyes lit up at the first sight. He thought it was a big client coming, and hurried over to entertain him.

"I see my fellow Daoist's eyes. This is the first time I have come to Yuyangfang."

"Well." Chen Nianzhi nodded: "The children of the Chen family in Xiaqingyuan Mountain, this is the first time to come to Xuanming Pavilion, and I am going to buy some spiritual medicine."

"It turned out to be a cultivator of the Chen family, disrespectful and disrespectful."

The woman showed a little disappointment. Foundation-building immortals like the Chen family had their own elixir gardens, so they generally wouldn't buy elixir from them.

Even if you want to buy it, you will only buy high-level elixir, or just make up for a little elixir that you lack.

The former are generally second-order or higher elixir, which the Mu family will not easily sell, while the latter often brings little benefits.

Although a little disappointed, the woman still smiled and said.

"I don't know what the customer wants to buy?"

"My pot of medicinal herbs still lacks a bell heart grass."

"Guests later, I'll go pick it up."

The female shopkeeper said, turned around and went to the back room to get bell heart grass.

While waiting for the female nun to get the medicine, Chen Nianzhi sat in the hall drinking tea and waited, and then found a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy walking in.

The man was obviously a loose cultivator who was traveling for the first time. His cultivation base was only the second level of Qi training, and he looked a little timid when he entered the pharmacy.

The young man glanced at Chen Nianzhi and saw that his temperament was extraordinary and his cultivation was unfathomable. He mistakenly thought he was the shopkeeper of Xuanming Pavilion, so he leaned forward and whispered.

"The shopkeeper, do you want to collect the elixir?"

　Today, I saw a comment from a reader in Chapter 2, saying that the investment in the Daqingshan Lingshi Mine is very mentally retarded. It is a joke that such a family does not go bankrupt. It is said that the modern money deposit bank pays 5.00% interest every year.It's outrageous to compare credit currency with Lingshi, okay? Do you know how much money Yang Bank prints every year?Do you know what the inflation rate is every year?Did you know that the purchasing power of your money shrinks several times every ten years?You can't beat inflation at all.Why in this book, from the beginning to the present, I have repeatedly stated that the contribution of the family clan is not as real as the spirit stone. You can always believe in the spirit stone because its value is constant, but you cannot believe in the contribution.Because "contribution" is a credit currency guaranteed by the reputation of the family sect, as long as the person in charge doesn't talk to you about credit, and keeps sending "contribution or contribution bi", your contribution is waste paper.Don't argue with me, the author's job is to do financial and tax audits, and these basic data are still infallible. I shaped this book according to a complete world view of cultivating immortals, not to write where I think.Trouble picky students, take it a little seriously, I am happy to pick something wrong and let me correct it, don't embarrass yourself.
