The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 430: Preparing for the grand ceremony, the killer reappears

For the price of two medium-grade spiritual stones per day, Xu Zhiyu got the access token to the third room with the word 'A'.

He spent about half a stick of incense tidying up the room, which didn't look very clean, and checked the facilities in the room. He had to be careful when going out.

After cleaning up, he felt the concentration of spiritual energy in the room and found that it could only barely reach the level of third-order low-grade. If it was used for daily practice, the entry might not be ideal.

However, he didn't plan to stay in Haifang City for too long, so it didn't have much impact.

Looking at the brand new room, he nodded with satisfaction, then took out a futon from the storage ring, first moved the futon provided by the inn aside, and then placed it on the ground.

After sitting down, he did not practice, but closed his eyes to rest and think about some issues.

"It's been almost two years since I left the family. I don't know how my grandparents and clan members are doing. How are Huahua and Xiaojin doing in the Hengduan Mountains? Have they broken through to the second level?"

He first talked about his parents, clansmen and spiritual beasts for a while, sighing that time passed so quickly, and then he made associations and began to think about other things.

In fact, in recent years, Xu Zhiyu has been thinking about the future future for himself and the Xu family.

The family continues to stay in the Qin State. It will be almost impossible for the Xu family to expand their territory in the future. If they expand to the Hengduan Mountains, those big demon kings and beasts will definitely not agree. If they annex other Zi Mansion forces and then strengthen themselves, the same will happen. If it doesn't work, Lingxiao Sect will not sit idly by.

Not to mention the timely beast tide that occurs once every two hundred years, which poses a great threat to the family's security. Even though the Xu family now has three Zifu monks and more than twenty foundation-building monks, they are faced with hundreds of monsters dispatched at once. Tens of thousands of demonic beasts, including fourth-level demons and fifth-level demon kings, were not enough.

There is no need for the fifth-level demon king to take action. If a fourth-level demon beast comes and leads a group of third-level and second-level demon beasts, the Xu family will be exterminated, and the family business created by the ancestors will be wiped out.

He discussed this matter with his ancestors and grandfather more than once, and finally came to the conclusion that if he stayed in Qin, the final peak of the Xu family's development would basically be the Zifu family, because without enough territory, you would not have enough. The resources to cultivate a large number of tribesmen are limited, and at the same time, there is no way to create a top-notch training environment for those tribesmen with excellent talents and provide resources to break through to higher realms.

The importance of territory is self-evident. Take the red copper veins that the Xu family now relies on for their financial income. Wasn't it discovered on the territory obtained from the monsters? If those territories were not acquired by the Xu family, but continued to be occupied by the monsters, Then the red copper veins will definitely not be discovered, and the Xu family's current development momentum cannot be so rapid.

After the discussion, the three of them agreed that if the Xu family wants to continue to develop and become the Jindan family that attracts thousands of people's attention, then there is only one way left, and that is to develop outwards. If possible, it is best to separate part of the family. Clan members, leave the Qin State and spread their branches in places with more development prospects. When the time is right, it is not impossible for the whole family to relocate.

He also shouldered the mission of exploration this time, looking for a new place for the Xu family to settle down. However, he could not find a suitable place along the way. However, this was also expected. If it could be found so easily, then it would be okay. Before it was his turn, someone would have found out and occupied it.

Based on what he had seen during his two years of travel, he found that the entire Xuanzhou Continent had basically been fully developed, and there was no empty space that was not occupied by forces. Of course, those mortal countries did not count, as there was no aura there, and immortal cultivators were not allowed to do so. I will take note of those places.

Therefore, it was not easy to find a new place suitable for the development of the family, and it was not easy to find a new place. However, he still did not give up, and his thinking also changed.

Because he found that living on an island seemed to be a good choice. Since there was no place to live on land, was it possible to live in the sea?
After his understanding, in the offshore areas of coastal countries such as Fujian and Yue, there are actually many islands full of spiritual energy. These islands are large or small. The large ones even have fifth-level spiritual veins on them, and the small ones even have fifth-level spiritual veins on them. There are only first-level spiritual veins, most of which are occupied by human monks, and some of them are blank.

The fifth-level treasure ship he was on had passed many such islands when it was approaching the Yue Kingdom, but at that time he had been drawing talismans in the cabin and didn't bother to look at them.

It goes without saying that the ownership rights of these islands must belong to Taiyang Tower, the largest force in the Yue Kingdom, so Xu Zhiyu made up his mind that if possible, he must get the ownership rights of an island.

This is not just a fantasy, but something to rely on. You must know that he has saved Mr. Tong's life. He can break through the spirit transformation. The sixth-level elixir he brought out from the Chixiao Secret Realm should also have a lot of effect. Otherwise, why would anyone send him an invitation to attend the God Transformation Ceremony?

He has already thought about it. If Mr. Tong expresses his gratitude to him after the ceremony and asks him what his wishes are, in addition to the golden elixir related to the road, he will definitely ask for the ownership of an island, even if it is an island. It’s okay to have a very low-grade spiritual vein, and the Xu family can slowly cultivate it in the future.

But from this, he also remembered another very important thing, that is, there is less than a year left before the God Transformation Ceremony, but his congratulatory gift is not ready yet.

Think about it, his invitation was specially sent by Mr. Tong. How much face is this? Xu Zhiyu is sure that even the Golden Core cultivator does not have this kind of treatment, so if he just takes a third-level spiritual object, He would be too ignorant to fool around with things, but if he gave something too expensive, he didn't have the strength.

Thinking of this, he once again put his consciousness into the storage ring and began to calculate his net worth. At the same time, he was also planning to exchange all the resources he could not use for spiritual stones, and then buy as much as he could. A precious gift.

"There are about more than 20,000 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones, more than 100,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, and the remaining weapon refining materials, elixir refining materials, and magic tools for magic cultivators are all added up. If they are all sold, It can be sold for more than 50,000 medium-grade spiritual stones, which is converted into low-grade spiritual stones, which is more than 6 million.

However, these spiritual stones are quite a lot in my opinion, but if I really want to buy a high-grade gift, it is still very reluctant. The fifth-level spiritual objects are all paid for with high-grade spiritual stones. These are calculated according to the exchange rate. It can be exchanged for more than 400 pieces of high-grade spiritual stones, and there is no market for them. No one is willing to exchange high-grade spiritual stones. This is really difficult to do! "

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyu felt a little irritable and started to get up and pace back and forth in the room.

In fact, it's not that he can't give a decent gift, it's just that he is unwilling to do so.

Don't forget, he has a Spirit-Condensing Vermilion Fruit on his body. It is a treasure that even the Master of Transformation God is eager to pursue. However, the relationship between this thing and the treasure is so great that he does not dare to take it out easily.

After thinking again and again, he decided not to give this thing away, but to wait until his cultivation level increased to take it. This thing was so magical that he might never encounter another one in his life. He was really unwilling to give up.

"There is no other way. It seems that we can only get rid of these sundries first, and then visit large stores to see if there are any suitable gifts. Since we can't buy fifth-level treasures, let's buy a fourth-level high-quality one. I believe Mr. Tong won’t care too much, he must understand my situation.”

Thinking of this, he put away the futon and opened the door directly. After asking the waiter for inquiries, he came to a lively and prosperous street where dragons and snakes were mixed. It was a good place for selling spiritual items, similar to the existence of a black market. , only talks about spiritual stones, not asking about their origins. In order not to attract anyone's attention, Xu Zhiyu first went to some small grocery stores. Although these stores were not as strong as those big stores, they were also safer. There were powerful people behind those big stores. He didn't want to be treated as a fat sheep. Keep an eye on.

The choice of grocery stores was not random. He wandered around for a long time and finally selected five stores, which were used to sell different spiritual items such as alchemy, talismans, and miscellaneous items.

Among them, he didn't have many alchemy materials and formation materials. He didn't sell many spiritual stones for these two, but the remaining ones were different.

Taking the weapon refining materials as an example, just for the human-faced fish carcasses he brought from the bottom of the sea, a third-level one directly cost the shop steward a high price of 1,500 mid-grade spiritual stones. The other second-level human-faced fish corpses The fish were all purchased at a high price of two hundred spirit stones.

Perhaps because the things he brought were too rare, in the end the store manager from the late Zifu came forward and asked him about the location where the human-faced fish was found, saying that he would pay a high price for it.

When he heard that the place was in the waters of Fujian, the shopkeeper sighed sadly for a long time. Finally, when he left, the shopkeeper asked one more question.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xu, since you have so many human-faced fish corpses, it means that you have been to its nest before, but I wonder if you were lucky enough to get its eggs?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyu, who had already stepped out of the threshold with one foot, naturally took his foot back, then took out two fish eggs the size of pigeon eggs from the storage ring and handed them over.

"Oh my god, are these the eggs of the human-faced fish? I have lived for nearly five hundred years, and this is the first time I have seen this thing. It is really not easy!"

Seeing how the shopkeeper couldn't put it down while holding the fish eggs, he coughed twice as a reminder.

"I made fellow Taoist laugh. I only saw this thing for a moment. I was too excited. Fellow Taoist, please forgive me."

"It's okay, but I don't understand. Our Donghaifang City is connected to the sea. There must be a lot of monks who go out to sea to hunt monsters. And your shop is not small in scale, and it specializes in purchasing sea monster materials. Why are you there? I have never collected any eggs from the noodle fish." He asked puzzledly.

"Fellow Taoists must also know that the skin of human-faced fish is very tough and is a good material for refining inner armor. Therefore, they have been hunted by a large number of monks, and their numbers have decreased sharply. In fact, they are rarely seen in the offshore waters of Yue State. The human-faced fish has appeared. The last time I heard about the human-faced fish was thirty years ago, and as for the fish eggs, I have never seen their true appearance."

"I see, I've been taught a lesson, so I wonder how many spiritual stones your shop is willing to pay to buy these pair of human-faced fish eggs?"

Now that the words had been spoken, he asked bluntly about the price. Anyway, he had taken a lot of these fish eggs, so it didn't matter if he sold them out.

"I just observed the eggs of this pair of human-faced fish, and they are one male and one female. This greatly increases their value. I am willing to pay a thousand medium-grade spiritual stones to buy them. I wonder if you are satisfied with the price. ?"

The price of "this" was actually higher than he expected, but he still pretended to be embarrassed.

"The maximum is 1,200 medium-grade spiritual stones. If fellow Taoist is willing, we can make a deal."

Seeing that the shopkeeper could not increase the price again, he nodded in agreement and completed the transaction happily.

Later, the sale of spiritual talismans also gave him a big surprise. The price of the communication talisman here was much higher than that in Qin. Originally, he thought that one could only sell fifty middle-grade spiritual stones, but he did not expect to buy it. After the shopkeeper of the spiritual talisman saw his communication talisman, he directly gave a high price of sixty middle-grade spiritual stones.

This made him extremely happy. All fifty-seven spiritual talismans were sold without a single one left, and he received a total of 3,420 medium-grade spiritual stones. Apart from the cost, he also made a small profit.

However, he did not take away all these spiritual stones. Instead, he purchased two hundred more materials for drawing communication talismans from the store. The remaining spiritual stones were replaced with a third-level mid-grade high-quality talisman pen. As he made the As the talisman's strength increased, the third-level low-grade talisman pen that the ancestor had personally drawn for him was no longer suitable for use.

After getting rid of all the spiritual objects, he made a rough estimate and found that he got more than 32,000 mid-grade spiritual stones. Adding the ones he originally brought, the total was about 55,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.

However, it was almost a day since he came out today, so Xu Zhiyu put the purchase of gifts until tomorrow and returned to the inn first. Anyway, Zhenren Lin has not been contacted yet, so he can still shop around for a few more days to find it slowly.

But what he didn't realize was that today's whereabouts were seen by a group of interested people, who quietly followed him all the way. However, the people sent by the other party to follow were all experts, and they were frequently replaced, so he didn't notice anything and did not notice. I don't know that the danger has come quietly.

Seeing him walking into the door of the inn, the man in black who had been following him nodded slightly to a corner, then left the place quickly and came to a courtyard in a zigzag manner.

"Have you seen clearly? Is he the target of a high-priced reward? Don't make a mistake!"

Listening to the report of the man in black, a man from the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion asked solemnly.

"Brother, you can't be wrong. I compared the portrait with the reward several times. There is no doubt that it is this person. In fact, I was sure of it as soon as I met him on the street that day."

"Okay, then send someone to keep an eye on him. As soon as this kid leaves the city, I will personally go out and take his head to collect the reward."

"yes, Sir."

A moment later, the man in black reappeared at the door of the inn where Xu Zhiyu lived. He did not trust the people under his command and decided to keep an eye on them personally.
