Chapter 27 The Store Crisis
The Zhao family has been entrenched in Chishan for so many years. There are no less than 700 monks on the road of cultivation, but most of them are limited to mediocre aptitude. Chores, or go down the mountain to live in the secular world.

Therefore, there are only about a hundred clansmen who really practice immortality on Chishan.

Among them, the elders with the oldest qualifications are Zhao Lingting, Zhao Lingcheng, and Zhao Lingquan. They are also the current patriarch and two elders. The following are Zhao Duyun and Zhao Duxian. , is the only monk in the second generation of Qi Refining Ninth Level.

There are 21 remaining clan uncles and monks of the other generations, seven of them have reached the late stage of Qi refining, and they are responsible for the education of the juniors in the clan, or meditating to raise Qi and extend their lifespan.

As for the next generation of calligraphy cultivators, there are 37 people in total, and they have become the backbone of the Zhao family today. Most of the young calligraphy cultivators are under 30 years old. There are two people.

Zhao Xiuqian, who is on the eighth level of Qi Refining, is the eldest sister of the Xiuzi generation and the only daughter of the elder Du Xian.

Zhao Xiuyuan, who is on the seventh floor of Qi Refining, is the second son of Elder Du Yun.

In the past, Zhao Xiukong was only 27 years old, and he had reached the perfection of the ninth level of Qi Refining, so he was considered one, but now
【Xuanbao Lingdu, Cultivation Returns to Yuan, Tongluo Heart Palace】

Below the Xiuzi generation is the Zhenzi generation, all of them are still in the early stage of Qi refining. There are currently 42 monks who are qualified to be ranked in the Zhao family's immortal genealogy. After the talent test every year, two or three clan members will join the immortals. However, the true characters are still young and will become the pillars of the Zhao family in the future.

Immortal cultivators are an absolute force for the entire Zhao family, and they are also the key to the family's survival.

Cultivating immortals is called cultivating immortals. In fact, in the world of cultivating immortals, wealth, couples, law and land are indispensable.

Wealth refers to the resources of monks, companion refers to friends who can help each other in the process of cultivating immortals, law refers to various exercises and spells, and land refers to the spiritual veins under the feet.

In layman's terms, wealth refers to spirit stones, the land of wealth couples, and wealth ranks first, which is enough to explain its importance. In addition to the strength of various spells, most of the monks' fighting skills are compared with talismans, formations, and magic tools. , and other foreign objects, these foreign objects need to be purchased with spirit stones, even many exercises and spells, the same is true.

The Zhao family has no other sources of spiritual stones, only the remaining two shops, relying on the sale of painted basalt talismans and some spiritual rice, plus the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins, is enough to ensure that the clansmen can practice without worry, but if they want to improve For example, it is a bit difficult to add a flying sword magic weapon or a storage bag for each clansman. Compared with these foreign things, some pills that increase energy and strengthen the body that the clan distributes every year are the first choice.

Moreover, these elixirs need to be purchased through spirit stones. With the current situation of the Zhao family, there is no strength to train alchemists at all. The cost of purchasing elixirs accounts for nearly [-]% of the family's annual expenditure. Fortunately, Yes, as for the talisman, it is supported by the Xuanwu talisman, which can be regarded as a firm foothold in the surrounding markets, and it also provides a continuous source of spiritual stones for the clan.

It can be said that most of the monks of the Zhao family barely survived by relying on a Xuanwu talisman that only the Zhao family could draw.

However, during the two months when the three of Zhao Xiuxuan went out on a mission, a big incident happened to the Xuanwu Talisman of the Zhao family.

"You are already at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and you are also the top descendants of the clan, so you are qualified to know about the Xuanwu Talisman."

Zhao Lingting sighed, and slowly said something about the Xuanwu Talisman.

"When the ancestor was alive, this basalt talisman was originally a spiritual talisman of the Jindan period. Not to mention the Qi refining period, even the foundation building period did not have such pure mana to draw it. Later, under the study of Baoxiu patriarch and Baoshan elder, Only then did I extract a set of talismans from the Qi refining period, this is what we call Xuanwu talismans now."

"Xuanwu Talisman is a kind of water system talisman. The protective spirit shield is endless and unbreakable. It is the top grade among the first-order talismans. It is also because of the Xuanwu Talisman of the Qi Refining Period that our Zhao family has not had a foundation cultivator for so many years. In the case of extracting spirit veins and transforming spirit stones, you still have the source of spirit stones you need to survive."

"However, the drawing of Xuanwu Talisman is actually not that easy. A kind of Xuangui blood must be used as the spirit to draw the runes. In the entire Nanshan County, there is only one place with Xuanwu blood, and that is Chishan to the east, more than 500 Yulan Lake in the middle, where the mysterious turtle is raised."

"Yulan Lake is the boundary of the Yulan Sect of the Foundation-Building Sect. This mysterious turtle is also a thing of the Yulan Sect. We bought the blood of the mysterious turtle from them before with each of eight spirit stones. It has been a long-term Business, when the Patriarch of Baoxiu was alive, he had a century-old agreement with the current suzerain of the Yulan Sect, but half a month ago, the Yulan Sect suddenly sent a pigeon to send a message, saying that the mysterious turtle would not be sold to us in the future. home"

"There is such a thing"

Zhao Xiuxuan and the others knew the importance of Xuanwu Talisman to the clan, and hearing this was no less than a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

"Patriarch, can't we raise the black turtle ourselves?"

Zhao Lingting shook his head and said
"If we can raise them, then we don't need to worry so much, and there's no need to go all the way to Yulan Lake to buy them. Spiritual beasts like black turtles are no better than chickens, ducks and geese. You can raise them anywhere you want. Beast cultivation has a unique title among those who practice all kinds of arts of immortality, called spirit beast master, and the method of cultivating these spirit beasts is called "beast control"

"This is the first, and the second is due to the characteristics of this mysterious turtle. It must live in a kind of spiritual water that contains water and earth spiritual energy. However, there are only a few places in Nanshan County that meet this requirement. Our Zhao family has no Spirit Beast Master, if the Lingshui Lake does not meet the requirements, of course it will not be able to breed black turtles."

Now that the profession of spirit beast master was mentioned, Zhao Lingting simply started to explain it to the three people below who looked puzzled.

"Spirit beast masters can not only cultivate spirit beasts, but also drive them to fight. Just like your puppet art, puppet art is also one of the arts of cultivating immortals. The person who drives the puppets is called a puppet master."

"Cultivation of Immortals, the four main arts, alchemy, talismans, formations, and weapon refining, and the rest belong to miscellaneous arts, such as puppets, spirit beasts, spirit plants, appraising treasures, detecting pulses, guarding corpses, inviting gods, brewing, etc."

"We in Nanshan County are still too young. You haven't touched these things, but you may encounter them in the future. Among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, let's not talk about the four main ones. You are all familiar with them. Other arts are also familiar in Nanshan County. It is the [spiritual plant] that cultivates spiritual rice, spiritual wood, etc., and the [spiritual beast] that cultivates spiritual beasts. These two are fairly common, and the others are very few, and there is almost no public inheritance."

It was the first time Zhao Xiuxuan heard about these things in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, and he suddenly realized that the reason why there is a puppet art as a special type in the skill panel may be because it is a unique skill. Art, if I can provide myself with 20 points for every subject I learn, wouldn't my realm be able to rise rapidly.

However, after listening to it later, it turned out that there were hardly many inheritances in Nanshan County, and I was a little disappointed.

think again

"Even if I learn the arts of refining, alchemy, array, spirit beast, and spirit planting that can be inherited, it can provide myself with 100 points. Where should I learn it?"

Thinking of this, his head turned sharply, thinking about various thoughts non-stop.

Zhao Lingting did not look at the eyes of the three people below, but continued to talk about the most urgent problem facing the Zhao family at present

"Without the blood of the black tortoise, our Xuanwu talismans cannot continue to be drawn. Relying on some stock in the past, some of the Xuanwu talismans in our inventory will be sold out in a month or two at most. At that time, we will be in two places If the shops in Fangshi cannot provide Xuanwu Talismans, they will lose [-]% of their customers, and in the end, they may be forced to sell the shops that have been in operation for so many years."

He said again, because in order to let Zhao Xiukong establish the foundation, the family gritted their teeth and sold a shop to gather more than 3000 spirit stones and bought a foundation establishment pill.

Each square city has a certain range, and there are many conditions for defining the range. For example, it cannot exceed the range of the formation that covers the boundaries of immortals. The place must be blocked with a large formation, and the maintenance cost of the formation will also increase according to the scope of the large formation. Therefore, Fangshi cannot expand without limit.

In addition, the most important point is the number of active monks around. If there are too few monks and too many shops in a city, it will lead to a downturn in business.

The managers of Fang City will strictly limit the number of shops according to the actual situation, but for some casual repairs that do not have such resources, they will also open special stalls. Of course, the stalls are definitely different from independent stores.

Based on various factors, an independent store in Fangshi is more valuable.

And these storefronts need to spend money to buy store deeds from the managers of the square city. The store deeds last for a hundred years and can be resold.

The two remaining shops of the Zhao family were just renewed by the patriarch 30 years ago, and they still have a validity period of 70 years. They must not be lost. If they are lost, even if the Zhao family regains the drawing of the Xuanwu Talisman, it will not help. .
