After chatting with Yue Zutao for a while, Chen Mobai talked about the yellow-skinned gourd.
"Junior brother, if you need it, just take it."
Yue Zutao had already trained the Xuan Yin Sha into the divine thunder child. If Chen Mobai hadn't told him, he would have forgotten about the gourd at the bottom of his storage bag.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yue."
Chen Mobai put down the two jars of wine, took the yellow-skinned gourd and said goodbye.
"The Tiankui Wang family is the bloodline left by one of my uncles who passed away. Junior Brother Chen will serve as Jianguo's guard. Please take good care of me."
Before leaving, Yue Zutao said something.
"nature."
Chen Mobai remembered the origin of the Wang family after thinking about it for a moment.
The former guard Liu Ruzhong had an affair with him. The Wang family was the descendant of the disciples of Patriarch Zhou, and Chu Zuoshu was also the disciple of Patriarch Zhou, which happened to match what Yue Zutao said.
After leaving Yue Zutao's place, Chen Mobai went to Shanshan Hall to receive the sect's permission to travel.
If the foundation-building monks of the Shenmu Sect want to leave the sect, they need to report to the twelve departments of the three halls where they are located when they are not on missions, and then the department will report to the Shenmu Hall.
After the articles of the Shenmu Palace are approved, they will be sent to the Good Reward Palace again.
"The Luo family in Huanbofang City is my own clan, and the current clan leader is my younger brother. I will ask Junior Brother Chen to take care of me for the next ten years."
Chen Mobai chatted with Luo Xueer, the acting master of Shanshan Hall, and the latter said something with a smile.
After coming out of Shanshan Hall, Chen Mobai deeply felt the meaning of Liu Ruzhong's original words.
Most of the seven major families in the founding of the country have an intricate relationship with the Shenmu Sect. Although they represent the Shenmu Sect, they still need to be cautious and cautious in dealing with them.
However, Chen Mobai had no intention of exploiting and extorting Jianguo's Immortal Cultivating Family, so in general he just had to follow the rules, and the Shenmu Sect would always be his backing.
Since Chu Zuoshu took a group of people to Jinguang Cliff, Chen Mobai did not stay in Shenmu City longer and went directly back to Xiaonan Mountain.
Shenmu Temple has two departments directly under its command.
They are the Department of Teaching and the Department of Witchcraft and Divination.
Among them, the Gong Chuan Department is the department responsible for all the paperwork in the sect. For example, the library that stores the Kung Fu books and the various arts of cultivating immortals is under its name.
Chen Mobai's application for leaving the sect to inspect the Five Dafang City of Jianguo was stamped with the seals of Shanshan Hall and Shenmu Hall, and a copy was sent to the Department of Transmission.
One of the monks with an ordinary face, named Du Feng, nodded and handed it to the Qi Practitioner below after reading it. The latter took it and put it on the shelf according to the date.
After the day's work was over, Du Feng left the department and returned to his rented house. He carefully opened a protective formation, then took out a special talisman paper and wrote something about Chen Mo on it. All content of Bai Xingxing.
After finishing writing, Du Feng burned the talisman paper.
In a small spiritual cave somewhere outside the giant wood ridge, a monk who was meditating and practicing Qi with a spiritual stone suddenly opened his eyes. He picked up one of the blank ones on the stone table. There were strange things around it. Patterned talisman paper.
He poured his spiritual energy into it, and as if he were doing magic, the content written on the talisman paper that Du Feng burned appeared in the middle of the blank space of the talisman paper.
"The wait is finally here."
The monk, who had been waiting here for nearly a year, sounded excited after reading it.
He used the same method to burn the talisman paper and sent the contents to the person in charge of Zhonghuangquan in the nearby Yuhufang City.
After a while, the news of Chen Mobai's trip was known to all the foundation-building monks who were going to participate in the ambush.
Yuan Hongyuan checked his five-pole black formation flag one last time, felt the surging spiritual power in his body, and walked down the Black Cloud Mountain with confidence.
…
"Master, the quality of these talismans is almost as good as second-level ones."
In Xiaonanshan, the three apprentices brought up the talisman papers tied by dozens. As a talisman maker, Zhuo Ming reluctantly watched Chen Mobai pick up the talisman papers for inspection and said.
"You three, take a ten and use it for yourselves."
As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhuo Ming immediately became rude.
Luo Yixuan and Liu Wenbai were stunned for a moment. The two of them were from family backgrounds. They had previously focused on practicing and improving their cultivation. They had not distracted themselves from learning the way of talismans. This talisman paper was useless to them.
"Senior Sister Zhuo, take it."
Luo Yixuan was still clever. She turned her eyes with clear eyes and immediately took 10 dozen and gave them to Zhuo Ming.
"this……"
"Junior sister, just accept it. Neither of us can make talismans."
Liu Wenbai also spoke, Zhuo Ming secretly glanced at Chen Mobai, and seeing that he had no objection, she immediately took it happily and put it in her storage bag.
"Ming'er will get an extra 100 dozen and sell them in Xiaonanshan shop in the future."
After the three apprentices finished taking it, Chen Mobai suddenly said something that filled Zhuo Ming with happiness.
Although this talisman paper is not her own, it is in her storage bag, which makes her a talisman maker particularly fulfilling.
"Master, how do you price this talisman?"
Zhuo Ming touched the talisman paper, which was tough, delicate and white, and had exceptionally smooth spiritual power transmission, and asked fondly.
"The price is the same as the market price, 1 piece of spiritual stone per dozen."
After hearing Chen Mobai's words, Zhuo Ming raised her head in shock.
"Master, refining such a good talisman must require a lot of troublesome steps. Do you want to raise the price?"
As a talisman maker, Zhuo Ming also worked with his father in a small-power talisman paper workshop when he was a child. What he made was the lowest-end talisman paper that was circulated among casual cultivators. It was yellow in color and could even be used among talisman paper. I saw bark that had not been cleaned and was of extremely poor quality.
Talisman makers who are slightly more advanced and can refine first-level and high-grade talismans usually purchase naturally formed spiritual objects that can replace talisman paper.
For example, bamboo slices, spiritual leaves, and animal skins.
Although it also needs to be soaked and refined with special medicinal liquid, it can ensure the smooth transmission of spiritual power and the stable solidification of the spell.
Zhuo Ming also worked with his father on animal skin talismans. After ten days and a half of hard work, he might not be able to get one successfully.
And now, with the large stack of talisman papers in her hand, she felt that the quality of each piece was better than the best animal skin talisman paper she had ever made. She thought, how could she sell it for 2 pieces of spirit paper? Just hit it with a stone.
"It's better not to go too far in the sect. To give other talisman merchants a way to survive, just set the price according to the market."
Chen Mobai said something that made Zhuo Ming confused, but Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan vaguely understood.
The three apprentices would not ask where the talisman came from.
"Wen Bai, get ready. Tomorrow you will go out with your master to inspect the Wudaifang City of Jianguo."
"Yes, Master."
Liu Wenbai has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Master, I have nothing to do anyway, so why not go with you and my senior brother?"
At this time, Luo Yixuan suddenly said something. Chen Mobai thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, the main purpose of going out this time is to lay out the channels for selling his own talisman paper and ink. From now on, Liu Wenbai may not be able to manage it alone, even with a clever apprentice.
Zhuo Ming on the other side was also a little moved. Ever since she joined the Shenmu Sect from Nanxifang City with Chen Mobai, she had not been out of Jumu Ridge.
The first four years of these eight years were very difficult, but after joining Xiaonanshan, I lived a very happy life, a blessing that I could not even dream of.
"Ming'er is still guarding the house."
"Yes, Master."
Zhuo Ming nodded seriously, but she still felt a little ashamed in her heart. She thought it was because of her poor fighting skills and slow interpersonal communication. She must get rid of these shortcomings in the future, and share her master's worries and solve problems as much as her senior brothers and junior sisters.
the next day.
When Chen Mobai came down the mountain, Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Zhuo Ming was also there, but she was wearing a coarse linen shirt with a bamboo basket tied around her waist. Inside the bamboo basket were various small farming tools. After seeing them off, she planned to go to the Lingtian to see the seedlings that had just been sown this spring. .
"I'll leave the family to you. If there's anything you can't handle, go to Shenmu City to find Senior Brother Yue."
After giving instructions to Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai piloted Chixia Yunyanluo and flew out of Jumuling with his two disciples.
The first stop for the three of them was Yuhufang City, which was closest to the Shenmu Sect.
"Before I built the foundation, I left the sect and headed west. My original intention was to go back to the Yun Kingdom to see my hometown. Unexpectedly, I felt the opportunity to go further when I looked at the mountains and rivers of the world and the flowers blooming and falling. I rented a cave in Yuhufang City, took the Foundation Building Pill, and successfully built the Foundation in one fell swoop."
Above the red clouds and mist, Chen Mobai pointed to Yuhufang City below and began to repeat the words he preached to E Yun and Yuan Chiye.
"Master is a genius, but we are not as good as him."
Liu Wenbai sighed sincerely, while Luo Yixuan looked at him with admiring eyes.
Chen Mobai laughed a little guiltily, and drove the red clouds and smoke down.
There were many casual cultivators at the gate of Fangshi, as well as some Qi-training monks who were working as tour guides in Fangshi. However, after seeing Chen Mobai falling from the sky, they all had a look of awe on their faces, and no one dared to come up.
As we all know, those who can fly are all foundation-building monks.
And this kind of characters are simply beyond the reach of Qi-training monks like them.
Moreover, the three masters and disciples, Chen Mobai, have extraordinary appearance and outstanding temperament. Luo Yixuan is even more beautiful, and it seems that they are from the powerful sects.
The way of survival spread among casual cultivators is that when meeting such noble people, it is best to stay away from them, so as not to get involved in unnecessary trouble.
"Let's go. If I remember correctly, the sect's deacon is in the shop in the center of Fang City."
Chen Mobai recalled his last experience in Yuhufang City and led his two apprentices towards the tallest three-story building in Fang City.
"I've seen the guard."
The deacon of the Shenmu Sect in Fang City is named Pang Guangmin. He is a monk at the ninth level of Qi training and is now Chen Mobai's subordinate.
In the entire Five Dafang City of Jianguo, within the next ten years, all the disciples of Shenmu Sect will belong to Chen Mobai.
"How many disciples of our sect are there in the city?"
"Twenty-seven people."
“How is the industry?”
"There are thirty-six shops in Yuhufang City, and our sect controls twelve of them. Four of them are for our own use, and eight are rented to others, with a rent of one hundred and fifty spiritual stones for each. In addition to the shops, the spiritual veins of Fangshi The forty-eight first-level caves above and the twenty-four second-level caves also belong to the sect, which can bring in an income of about 800 spiritual stones every year. In addition, the guardian formation in Fang City is also maintained by people from our sect. The shops in Fangshi will pay 360 spiritual stones every year as the hard work of the Formation Department brothers."
Pang Guangmin is also a practical person and knows the Shenmu Sect's industry in the entire Yuhufang City very well.
"In other words, the sect can earn more than two thousand spiritual stones from this market every year."
Chen Mobai calculated in his mind and roughly came up with this income.
"Reporting to the Guardian, when Liu Zhengshou returned to the clan to report at the end of last year, the total income based on the report I made was 4,587 spiritual stones."
Pang Guangmin said this carefully, because he didn't know whether Liu Ruzhong would eventually hand over the income to the sect truthfully.
"Wen Bo."
Chen Mobai called his eldest disciple. He was busy in the puppet factory some time ago and asked Liu Wenbai to check the various sect information that Jianguo Guards could read in the Department of Transmission.
"Master Qi, the quantity is basically the same."
With outsiders present, Liu Wenbai's words were more tactful, but Chen Mobai understood what he meant, nodded and said nothing more.
But Pang Guangmin had cold sweat on his forehead.
"Master, since the income from the properties that Deacon Pang just mentioned in the market is fixed, there will basically be no problems with the accounts. However, it is easier to keep accounts in the shops run by the sect itself. "
As Luo Yixuan spoke, she looked at Pang Guangmin, who was wiping his sweat with half-smiling eyes. Before she joined the Shenmu Sect, she had also spent several years in the market in Yun State. I also know a thing or two.
"Guardian, I have recorded the accounts for the sixteen years since I came here. If you want to see them, I will bring them to you."
Pang Guangmin did not hesitate and immediately began to prove his innocence.
"That's not necessary. After all, it happened during Senior Brother Liu's tenure. If I investigate again, it won't be possible for the previous guards to sit still."
Liu Ruzhong was not the only one guarding Jianguo, and since it was the place where the Shenmu Sect was located, every guard was a person with a profound background. It was estimated that they could reach the two ancestors. How could Chen Mobai make enemies of these people.
"Come with me to see the sect's shops. By the way, if I, the guard, don't come here this year, wouldn't those eight shops have not been rented out yet?"
Chen Mobai asked as he walked. Pang Guangmin immediately followed him and answered quickly.
"Report to the guard, the sect has regulations. If the monk who rented the shop last year is willing, and the business does not affect the sect's reputation, he can continue to renew the lease."
"Then if I want to rent a shop this year, is there any way that Deacon Pang can arrange it?"
Chen Mobai's words made Pang Guangmin sweat even more on his forehead. Those who could rent the Shenmu Sect's shop were naturally not small players, either from the Immortal Cultivation Family or from the Chamber of Commerce in the Eastern Wasteland.
"If the guard wants it, I will arrange a room immediately."
In the end, it was his immediate superior who was more powerful. Pang Guangmin only hesitated for a moment and then immediately agreed.
