The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

The exchange meeting that lasted for half a month finally ended.

During this period, the Xu family members traveled around every day, held free exchange meetings, and participated in various roadside stalls, and each of them gained something.

Xu Zhiyu also received a strange remnant talisman and a spiritual plant seedling that interested him. When this spiritual plant grows up, it can be used to make second-level talisman paper.

Finally, after sending away the other Zifu forces, Xu Shengsheng summoned the members of the Establishment clan who had not yet left and held a meeting to discuss the Xu family's profits from this exchange meeting.

"Clan Leader, at this exchange meeting, our Xu family sold a total of more than 6,000 first- and second-order spiritual objects, of which the majority were first-order spiritual objects. A total of more than 1.8 million spiritual stones were sold. After the first- and second-order spiritual objects were sold by me, According to the calculations of the clan members, the cost of these spiritual objects is 1.4 million low-grade spiritual stones, and the family’s profit is 420,000 low-grade spiritual stones.”

At the beginning of the meeting, Xu Zhifeng, who was responsible for managing Fangshi, first made an overall report. As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhizhi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but exclaimed:

"The net profit is so high? This is only half a month of exchange meeting. If it lasts for half a year, wouldn't it cost millions?"

"Actually, half a month is just right. It's useless even if the time is extended. There are only so many spiritual stones in the monk's storage bag. Did you know? In fact, 90% of the 420,000 low-grade spiritual stones were obtained in the first ten days. Whatever they earned, the monks basically stopped spending in the next five days, and from the end of the exchange meeting yesterday to today, the number of monks in the market has been reduced by half and returned to normal levels." Xu Zhifeng explained seriously.

After hearing this, Xu Zhizhi nodded, indicating that he understood, but at the same time he felt that his idea was too naive.

"Zhifeng, please continue to tell us the details of the spiritual objects we sold!" Xu Shengsheng said.

"It's the clan leader. I'll report it right away." After saying that, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag, which recorded detailed accounts.

"At this exchange meeting, the spiritual objects sold by the family were mainly magical artifacts. More than 4,800 first-level magical artifacts were sold, and 43 second-order magical artifacts were sold. If you include the exchanges at the exchange meeting, There are sixty-one items that have gone out. The third-level magic weapon is only the complete set of magic weapon that you exchanged for at the exchange meeting, clan leader.

There were relatively few spiritual talismans exchanged, less than 300, but a lot were sold, close to a thousand, adding up to more than 1,200 in total, of which 90% were first-level ones.

Next is the formation. Thanks to the strong support of the family's weapon refiner, who has been refining the formation flag, and Zhizhi and Zhisheng's continuous carving of formation patterns during this period, the first-order formation sold this time is also close to One hundred sets, all first-order formations.

Finally, there is the elixir. Although the family now has Zhijuan, a second-level alchemist, and several first-level alchemists, with the increase in the number of clan members, it is not enough for them to use. There is really no extra for sale, so this time At the auction, the family had no elixirs to exchange or sell. Instead, they bought a lot of elixirs of all levels from other forces such as Shangqing Valley. "

After listening to Xu Zhifeng's detailed report, Xu Shengcheng now had two thoughts in his mind. First, the family's opening of new business routes could not be delayed any longer. It had to be put on the agenda. Originally, he had expected that the family's backlog could be sold at this auction. , all the second-level magic weapons refined by the family's weapon refiners were sold, but unexpectedly the situation was not very optimistic. Only a few dozen pieces were sold, and more than a hundred pieces were left.

This is a problem that has to be solved. You must know that the family is constantly refining second-level magic weapons at an average rate of one piece every three days. If these magic weapons continue to be unsaleable, the development of the family will be greatly affected. .

The second problem is the lack of elixirs in the family. There is really no good solution to this problem. The Xu family's alchemy industry has developed too late, the time is too short, and the number of alchemists is insufficient. It cannot be solved in a short period of time.

However, he also thought about it and planned to recall Xu Zhijuan, who was far away in Tianyuanfang City, to the family and put her in charge of training alchemists for the family. He believed that over time, with the increase in the number of alchemists in the family, the shortage of spiritual pills faced by the Xu family would be eliminated. Gone and never come back, but it is definitely not something that can be achieved in the short term. It will take decades or even hundreds of years.

"Is there anything else you want to report?" After thinking about it, the head of the Xu family asked as he looked at the family foundation building in front of him.

"Yes!" said the captain of the escort team responsible for maintaining order in the city during the exchange meeting.

"Then just tell me, Zhixin!"

"Yes, Patriarch! During the exchange meeting, my escort team members and I discovered a total of five incidents in which people ignored the rules of my Xu family and openly fought on the streets of Fangshi. Four of them occurred after the escort team appeared. He took the initiative to stop, and in the end it wasn't too difficult for them, just a fine.

But the rest was more serious. Two outside casual cultivators temporarily rented a stall at the casual cultivator square to set up a stall. Later, it seemed that they were competing for a customer, and they started to quarrel. They started arguing. The fight started.

I happened to be patrolling around the area at the time. When I received the notification from the guards and rushed to break up the fight, they turned a deaf ear. Seeing that more and more monks were crowding around to watch the fun, I directly captured the two of them and sealed them off. Dantian, tied them to the big column in the center of the Sanxiu Square and showed them to the public for three days. After that, they were detained and have not been released. How to deal with it now, please tell the clan leader! "

Hearing this, while Xu Shengsheng was still thinking, Xu Zhisheng spoke.

"What else is there to say? If you dare to ignore the Fangshi Guards and ignore my Xu family, I think they should be killed and hang their bodies at the gate of Fangshi to show the public, so that these casual cultivators can understand that Zi Mansion The Xu family is not someone they can offend."

However, Xu Shengsheng obviously had his own ideas, but he did not say it explicitly. Instead, he set his sights on Xu Zhifeng, wanting to see what he, as the city manager, had to say.

"Zhixin, let me ask you, since those two casual cultivators were detained by our Xu family, have they come to you in a roundabout way to plead for mercy?"

Although he didn’t know why the clan brother asked this, he still answered truthfully:

"Yes, and there are quite a few of them, most of them are through my subordinates. The casual cultivators recruited by the family begged me for mercy, saying that the two of them were just confused for a moment. I hope that the family adults can let them go and let them go. Willing to pay more ransom.

There were also those who came to me directly to plead for mercy. They were the two friends who were arrested by us as wandering cultivators. Their words were similar, but they just hoped that we could be merciful! "

Hearing this, Xu Zhifeng nodded and said:

"Now the matter is very clear. These two casual cultivators have a lot of friends. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many monks who would risk offending our Xu family to intercede for them. Although such Qi cultivators may not have high levels of cultivation, , but they have a high prestige among the casual cultivators. Killing such people will have no substantial benefit to our Xu family. If we want to punish the demonstration, the three days of hanging in the casual cultivator square have already done it. Even if it is changed to Hanging at the gate of Fangshi for another three days will not increase the effect. Instead, it will make those casual cultivators feel that our Xu family treats them too harshly.

Therefore, I think it is enough to punish these two people with a small amount of punishment. After all, the main purpose of our Xu family to establish the market is to earn spiritual stones, and casual cultivators are the largest group in the market, and we have nothing to do with them. If it is necessary to make it too rigid, then we will lock them up for another month, and then fine them some spiritual stones. After there are no monks in the city talking about this matter, we can just let them go quietly! "

This obviously far-sighted idea convinced most of the people present. Although there were still some tribesmen who thought that they should not be too kind to the casual cultivators and prevent them from getting into trouble, it did not take shape after all.

"Okay, let's do what Zhifeng said! Is there anything else? If not, let's each do our own thing. I have to go back to the family." Xu Shengsheng looked around and asked, seeing that everyone was silent , and immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting.

"Yu'er, are you coming back to the family with me, or do you have other plans?"

"Grandpa, please go back first. I have some things to do and I have to visit Shopkeeper Xi in Taiyang Tower. Then I plan to go to Lingyin Peak to have a look."

He used sound transmission, and Lingyin Peak was where his parents lived.

"Okay, I understand, then I'll go back first!" Patting him on the shoulder, Xu Shengsheng walked out of the conference room directly and returned to the family with dozens of clan members who were temporarily seconded by Xu Zhifeng.

Taiyang Building, reception room on the third floor.

Xu Zhiyu was sitting on a chair leisurely drinking spiritual tea while waiting for the arrival of shopkeeper Xi.

Just now he came to Taiyang Building and asked a foundation-building deacon to see the shopkeeper and ask him to report. He originally thought he would be rejected, but unexpectedly the deacon took him directly to the reception room on the third floor and served him with good spirit tea. After that, he went directly to inform the shopkeeper without asking any other questions.

This wait lasted for a full hour, but he was not impatient at all. He came here this time just to thank Shopkeeper Xi. Besides, he is a golden elixir monk, so what's wrong with you waiting?

First there was the sound of a ring outside the door, and then Shopkeeper Xi appeared with a white veil on his face. He had not seen him for several years, but he was still pretty and pleasant. He did not dare to look at her more, and stood up directly, saluting respectfully and saying hello.

"Hello, senior! I apologize for disturbing you, junior!"

Shopkeeper Xi didn't speak, just stared at him for a long time, and then said:

"Well, why did you come to see me this time?"

"After seeing the communication talisman you asked me to bring, Shopkeeper Wu of Tianyuanfang City Branch, during this period of time, I have always taken good care of this junior and helped me in times of crisis many times. Therefore, this junior is here, I came here specifically to thank my seniors.”

Xu Zhiyu said, this is not a lie. Shopkeeper Wu was really kind to him. Not only did he explain many secrets of the world of immortality to him, he also arranged for him to have golden elixir bodyguards. He always kept this feeling in his heart, but the reason why he was The reason for doing this is traced back to Shopkeeper Xi, who doesn't think he has that much ability.

"So that's what happened. Then you thanked the wrong person. The lady asked me to do these things. If you really want to thank me, wait until you see the lady and thank her in person!" Shopkeeper Xi said calmly. , paused, not knowing what she thought of again, and continued to ask:

"How is your cultivation now? The piece of black paint you are wearing is so dark. The jade pendant that covers your cultivation is of a high grade. Even with my cultivation, I can't even see through your cultivation."

"This junior is now building up the ninth level of cultivation."

"Is it still foundation building?" Shopkeeper Xi asked with a frown.

"Yes, it's still foundation building, but this junior is already preparing to go into seclusion to polish his spiritual power and prepare to break through the Zi Mansion. I believe that in about ten years, I will be able to polish my spiritual power and try to break through the Zi Mansion."

"In this case, wouldn't it take more than ten years? This is not possible. If this happens, you will not be able to catch up with the master's transformation ceremony!"

After saying this, Shopkeeper Xi, who had always been calm and composed, became obviously upset. Seeing her like this, Xu Zhiyu did not dare to ask questions and could only stand with his head down.

After a while, Shopkeeper Xi's voice sounded again, but by this time her voice had returned to normal.

"Well, I happen to have a third-level low-grade elixir in my hand that I applied for from the headquarters. It's called Spirit Tempering Pill. It has a miraculous effect on the ninth-level monks to polish their spiritual power. After taking it, the time it takes to polish their spiritual power will be reduced. It is shortened by half, and has the effect of slightly enhancing the probability of breakthrough.

This elixir was originally specially applied for by a deacon in this branch who is also on the ninth level of foundation building. It seems that he can only wait a while. You can take it first! "

When such a good thing came to his door, Xu Zhiyu did not refuse it in a pretentious manner. There is only too little of this panacea, how can there be too much? After thanking him, he hurriedly put it away.

"You have to remember, remember to take it in seclusion immediately after you go back, and try to break through the Purple Mansion Stage as soon as possible. The lady has told me that you must participate in the Master's God Transformation Ceremony no matter what." After he accepted the elixir, Shopkeeper Xi continued warned.

"Senior, don't worry. With the help of these elixirs, I will break through to the Zi Mansion within ten years, and I will rush to attend Mr. Tong's God Transformation Ceremony in time." He promised confidently.

"Okay, just hurry up. By the way, I wonder how you are preparing to break through the spiritual objects in the Zi Mansion? Are the Zi Yang Pill and the Purple Qi Talisman ready?" Shopkeeper Xi continued to ask with some worry.

When Xu Zhiyu heard this, he wondered if there was such a good thing. Could it be that he had even prepared the Ziyang Pill? He pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"Senior, the Xu family is very weak and they only prepared a Purple Qi Talisman for me, but not a Ziyang Pill. I don't know, Senior."

Looking at his longing eyes, Shopkeeper Xi said helplessly:

"You don't have to look at me. The Ziyang Dan branch here has no inventory, and the lady is not at the headquarters now. It is difficult to apply. There is no time at all. I only have a three-hundred-year-old Purple Qi Talisman in my hand. If you need it, take it!"

When he heard that there was no Ziyang Pill, but only the Purple Qi Talisman, Xu Zhiyu refused. He had the Purple Qi Talisman in his hand, and it was 1,200 years old. He even had a top-quality Purple Qi Talisman at home that was dated 1,800 years ago. Talisman, this kind of three-hundred-year-old has no use at all.

Shopkeeper Xi didn't stay with him much after that. After saying goodbye, he said hello to Xu Zhifeng and then set off directly to Lingyin Peak, not far from Zhufang City. (End of chapter)
