The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 171 Let me manage the city? (Please subscribe!)

In the center of Fang, there is a three-story building that is nine feet high and covers an area of ​​several acres.

This is the Xu family's own shop, with a large courtyard behind it and many rooms for the clan members to live in.

Looking up, the store has no plaque yet, but the main body has been built. The whole body is made of first-grade high-grade spiritual wood, which makes it look very high-end.

Don't be disapproving when you hear it's a first-order spirit tree. This is a spirit tree. For such a three-story building, the minimum consumption is more than 30,000 kilograms. Each pound is calculated as three spirit stones, which is one hundred thousand spirit stones. .

After asking the tribesman who was responsible for the decoration on the first floor, he found out that the ancestor was meditating on the third floor, so he didn't waste any time and went directly to the third floor. He found the room with the Tianzi number according to the room number and knocked on the door.

Xu Deming in the room slowly stopped his work and said after a moment:

"come in!"

Xu Zhiyu opened the door and walked in. The door closed automatically.

"I have seen my ancestor!"

"It's Yu'er, come and sit down!"

Xu Deming said kindly and motioned for him to sit on the chair in front of him.

"How did you gain from this retreat?"

Xu Zhiyu was sitting directly opposite the ancestor and was about to stand up, but was stopped by the ancestor's slightly pressing gesture, so he sat on the chair, cupped his hands, and replied concisely:

"Ancestor, my cultivation has broken through to the second level of foundation building, and my talisman making skills have also broken through to the second level of low level."

Xu Deming nodded with a satisfied look on his face, patted the storage bag, and a rich purple talisman appeared in front of Xu Zhiyu. It was the best purple talisman.

He directly took the talisman and began to charge it. This time it took Xu Zhiyu about two hours to complete the work.

It turns out that as the year draws to a close, more energy is needed, which is not always constant. If he hadn't become a second-level talisman maker and kept drawing talismans in the past few years, he might not have been able to accumulate enough this time. According to him, Measured, a full two-thirds of it was used this time, which was far beyond his expectation.

However, because he had practiced the Divine Forging Technique, he charged the top-quality Purple Qi Talisman this time. Although it took longer than the last time to charge the inferior Purple Qi Talisman, after it was over, he just felt a little uncomfortable in the sea of ​​consciousness. Unlike last time, I almost fainted.

Taking the treasure talisman that was already full of purple energy, Xu Deming solemnly put it into the storage bag. After finishing, he squeezed the storage bag again, fearing that something might go wrong with this thing that could be called a Xu family heirloom.

Although the red copper mine is obviously much more expensive than this spiritual talisman when measured in spiritual stones, no matter how big the mine vein is, it will be dug out in one day, but this top-quality purple qi treasure talisman is difficult to buy with money.

"Yu'er, are you here this time to see our newly built market? After seeing it, how do you feel?"

Xu Zhiyu heard his ancestor's question and replied:

"Ancestor, my grandfather sent me to deliver supplies this time. Of course, I also wanted to see the beauty of my hometown!"

"How do you feel after watching it?"

Xu Deming continued to ask, and it could be judged from his tone that it was not just a simple question, but also a hint of comparison.

"Okay, better than ever!"

It's a pity that Xu Zhiyu didn't hear it and just kept praising him.

"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you, do you have any good ideas for how this city will operate in the future?"

"Of course, it's like other cities. They collect city fees, rent out shops to collect rent, and open a plaza for casual cultivators. Any casual cultivators who set up stalls will charge venue fees and rent out caves."

Xu Zhiyu answered based on what he had seen in Taoshuifang City and Kuixingfang City before.

Xu Deming shook his head. It seemed that the younger generation he valued most still didn't understand Fangshi, or didn't understand it well enough.

"Anyone who has visited the market knows what you are talking about. These are the operating rules of a mature market. Our Xu family is now building a new market from scratch. As you said, the shops collect rent. Where do the shops come from? You can’t praise the Mengxu family for opening all the shops selling alchemy, talismans, and cultivating immortals, right?”

Hearing his ancestor's question, Xu Zhiyu also thought seriously: "Yes, how did the shops in the market come about? The markets I went to before were all full of shops, but how they came about, I don't know. I never thought about it, by the way, didn’t it mean that after Lingxiao Sect is established in Fangshi, there will be shops?”

Thinking of this, he said to Xu Deming:

"Ancestor, I don't mean Lingxiao Sect."

"We can't count on Lingxiao Sect!"

Xu Zhiyu was shocked when he heard this, how could that happen? he asked:
  "They don't want to go back on their word, right? Isn't this already agreed upon?"

Xu Deming shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"According to the Lingxiao Sect's formation master who came to set up a protective formation for Fang City this time, they just opened a formation pavilion when they came here. We need to figure out the rest ourselves!"

"What? Just provide a set of third-level low-grade formations and open a formation pavilion that is destined to have little appeal. They dare to ask for 20% of the profit. They might as well grab it!"

Xu Zhiyu said dissatisfied, formation? The casual cultivators are so poor that they are so poor. Who will buy the formations? Those in the city are planning to rent them out. The high-end courtyards located at the aura nodes need formation protection. Well, I co-authored this formation pavilion for me. Opened by the Xu family, just waiting to earn Xu family spiritual stones.

"Zhiyu, be careful! I thought about it. There are advantages and disadvantages to us if Lingxiao Sect does this. Only opening one formation pavilion shows that they don't pay attention to this place. Only in this way can we have greater autonomy. I was afraid of them before. In the name of opening a shop and interfering in the management of the city, we are likely to make wedding clothes for others."

"Here, this place is only more than four thousand miles away from the red copper veins in the sky. It would be bad if the monks of the Lingxiao Sect noticed the clues."

Xu Zhiyu was right when he heard it, but what should the shops in Fangshi do? he asked:
  "Ancestor, the Lingxiao Sect opened the Formation Pavilion. Our family sells magic weapons. I can draw magic talismans. But what attracts monks the most is the various elixirs that improve cultivation. If there are no elixirs for sale, there will be monks. To patronize?”

Xu Deming nodded and said:
  "Your question is asking the essence. Do you think I have just watched the construction of Fangshi in the past six months? I have already negotiated with fellow Taoist Zhao from Qinggu. They will send people here to open an elixir pavilion. However, It’s mainly first-level elixirs, there will also be second-level elixirs, but the quantity won’t be too much.”

"Of course, as a reciprocal exchange, we will also go to Shangqinggufang City to open a store and regularly supply a large number of first- and second-level magic weapons."

This can be regarded as a solution to an urgent need. Qi-training monks are still the majority among the monks. How many foundation-building monks can there be? It is acceptable to have fewer second-level elixirs. As for the Xu family to open a shop there, it is considered to be opening up the family business!

"Not only that, I also went to several nearby counties, talked with the Zi Mansion forces there, and persuaded them to station in our Xujiafang City!"

Xu Zhiyu heard this and said, "How did you convince them? It must have taken a lot of effort, right?"

Xu Deming replied:

"It's okay. They are still very interested in opening a store in Xinfang City. This way they can earn more spiritual stones. In addition, I gave them a lot of discounts for renting the store. Many of them agreed. Waiting for Fangfang After the city is built, people will move in one after another.”

It’s up to the ancestor to take action! Xu Zhiyu sighed secretly.

"Ancestor, there is something I still don't understand. Our place is located at the intersection between humans and monsters. It can be said that there are many dangers. Will it be attractive to casual cultivators?"

This is what he is worried about. This place is located on the border, and the beast tide has just ended, so casual cultivators may have doubts about the safety of living here.

"Rogue cultivators don't think so much. They are content to have a place where they can live. We have five thousand miles of undeveloped new territory here, which is full of all kinds of elixirs, and there are many First-order monsters, all of which are very attractive to casual cultivators. Besides, in the world of cultivating immortals, where is it not dangerous? As long as you are alive, you may encounter danger!"

Xu Zhiyu nodded, feeling that the ancestor was right, he was a little worried about gains and losses.

"Ahem, Zhiyu, you see this city is about to be built and put into operation. How about you manage it?"

Xu Deming suddenly said something that Xu Zhiyu didn't expect at all, and judging from its meaning, it didn't seem to be a temporary move.

He stood up from his chair and refused:

"Me? Ancestor, I can't do it. There are so many young talents in the family, why do you want me to do it! You'd better choose someone else!"

Xu Deming was not angry because Xu Zhiyu refused, but continued to ask:

"If you are not suitable, then who do you think is suitable?"
