"Of course not." Mammy affirmed: "But these tokens that are wandering outside only cost about thirty yuan in total. Even if these people are all in the late stage of Qi training, it will not affect the stability of the space."
"Furthermore," she continued, "before entering, the sect will also check the identities of these people and require them to be clean and have lived in Yunzhou for the past three years in order to obtain permission."
"With those tokens, can I enter and exit the secret realm at any time?" Yang Zhen asked again.
"No, only when the secret realm is open."
"But..." Yang Zhen was confused. Hou Xian deliberately planned to use the identity of Prince Ju to sneak into the secret realm. It couldn't be just for some spiritual plants. He had a vague feeling that this person had another purpose.
"Yue'er," Mammy said suddenly, "yesterday you asked me about the Langshan secret realm, and I asked your grandfather. The family intends to send you in two years later to experience it."
"Really?" Zhao Yue'er said with joy.
"However, it is best for you to enter the late stage of Qi training at that time," Mammy continued: "Most of the secret realm is restricted to air. There is a big mountain in it, but you can go up with a flying sword. There are some spiritual plants on it, which are sects. Items designated by the sect. The disciples who pick these spiritual plants will be rewarded with a large number of contribution points by the sect."
"You will even be allowed to keep some spiritual plants, some of which are urgently needed by the family..."
"Of course, you don't have to speed up your cultivation for this purpose. If it affects your foundation, then the gain outweighs the loss."
"No!" the little girl said excitedly: "I just calculated that next year I will be able to enter the late stage of Qi training!"
"That's good!" Grandma smiled happily.
"I want to go too!" Yang Zhen begged.
Somehow, he felt uneasy.
That Hou Xian is probably not alone, he may have accomplices.
Besides, what’s the secret behind the place marked x on the map? He also wanted to know.
"You..." Mammy stared at him for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you go too! Both of you go!"
…
On the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, Yang Zhen and Zhao Yuer's family returned to the county town.
The time to return to the sect is set on the tenth day of the lunar month, and there are still a few days left to deal with personal matters.
After noon, he took a leave of absence and came to Xingdetang.
Nowadays, Xingdetang is almost open to purchasing Xuanyang wood. When he entered the back room, he was almost blinded by the mountains of spiritual wood inside.
A hundred thousand roots!
The cost price was less than 300, but it was sold to the city for nearly 3,000 spirit stones!
Yang Zhen suddenly felt that her waist was hard again.
Xingdetang's income is also very gratifying. Including the sale of Xuanyang wood, the net profit this year reached 10,000 gold coins.
According to the share ratio, he can take away 8,000, but he has already withdrawn most of this amount this year.
Speaking of which, this kind of operation is very irregular, but it is common in this world.
He took out the remaining two thousand gold coins and distributed them to Aunt Fu's family.
Aunt Fu, who had never had such money in her hands, also cried with joy.
"Aunt Fu, what are your plans for the future?" he asked with a smile.
"Plan?" Aunt Fu was a little confused: "Little Shitou, what do you mean..."
"The tree is so big that it attracts the wind!" Yang Zhen expressed her intention: "I am going to divide the piece of Xuanyang wood."
"Ah?" Aunt Fu cried out, then covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Most of our profits come from this. Little Stone, who are you going to give it to?"
She will obey Yang Zhen's arrangement, but the reluctance on her face is obvious.
"Aunt Fu, you misunderstood me," Yang Zhen said with a smile: "Of course you are still in charge of Xuanyang Mu. However, I don't want you to stand on the bright side..."
"My plan is that our Xingdetang store will only make furniture and toys. I will also provide Uncle Fuzhen with some mold drawings and let him create a batch of daily necessities for sale. In short, Xingdetang Don’t let another Xuanyang wood appear here!”
"I'm going to buy another house in the city specifically to store the Xuanyang wood. Don't show up as the caretaker. I'll find someone else. Every day, you arrange for a trustworthy person to be responsible for transporting the Xuanyang wood there. The house will be settled and everything will be fine, don’t worry about anything else.”
"In addition, you open a shop in Xuanyang County, specializing in purchasing Xuanyang wood. Among the guys in the shop, you can see who is the best and let him go to Xuanyang to be the shopkeeper. The others will also be arranged to go to Xuanyang. Yang County. Recruit a new group of people here!"
"Finally, I will find you two magic weapons that mortals can use. Now that we have money, we need to prevent some nefarious people from having evil intentions. I will also provide you with a few police sentries from the county guard. If you are in danger, , call for help immediately!”
"..."
These measures were all decisions he made after deliberation in Changshan in the past few days.
What happened to Zhou Yuan this time was a warning to Yang Zhen.
He should feel lucky. Fortunately, Zhou Yuan was not a local, otherwise the other party would have found out his relationship with Aunt Fu's family.
As for Aunt Fu, everything else is fine. The only thing that cannot withstand the investigation is Xuanyang Mu's business.
But in Shuyang County, apart from Aunt Fu, he could not find another friend who he trusted and was capable of doing things.
Therefore, Aunt Fu must take care of Xuanyang Wood, but she should try her best to hide it from others.
At least Xingdetang should stop doing this business openly.
…
After convincing Aunt Fu, Yang Zhen found Chen Fuzhen and provided him with a batch of mold drawings.
Among them, there are...
"Little Langjun," Chen Fuzhen used the name he used to call him in Zhoucheng: "What is this long thing that looks like a fire stick?"
"This is a gun. You make this long tube and these big parts. I'll figure out a way for these small parts, especially the spring."
In this world, he has not seen gunpowder, but there are many kinds of explosive things, but most of them are related to fairy materials.
He plans to find suitable explosives and develop a gun that mortals can use, with only one purpose:
In front of monsters, mortals can still protect themselves.
I hope the tragedy of Tianjia Village’s demise can be avoided in the future.
After doing this, he chatted with Grandma Chen for a while before leaving.
In a somewhat remote location, but with a wide street in front of the door, he bought a building with three courtyards.
We have a place, now we are considering arranging some people to guard it.
Although Xuanyang wood is not valuable, it is only for rich people. For those poor beggars, twenty or thirty copper coins for a piece of wood can be exchanged for how many biscuits!
If there was no one to guard him, he believed that within half a month, there would be no more beggars in the entire Zhuyang County.
Because all the beggars will come here to get Xuanyang wood, exchange it for copper coins, and buy sesame cakes!
Who can we find to take care of us?
Yang Zhen chuckled, already having some calculations in her heart.
He walked out of the city gate, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and walked all the way towards Jushan Mountain.
Looking at this familiar mountain road, he felt a little emotional. It seemed that he could still see two ragged teenagers coming down the mountain together.
A quarter of an hour later, he had arrived in front of the dilapidated White Tiger Temple.
The Taoist temple seems more run-down than it was four or five years ago. At the entrance of the main hall, someone used countless branches to weave into a large sieve, which was stuffed with rags and old cotton. It looked like the banners on the cemetery to summon spirits.
A young man with a dirty face was sitting on the threshold looking around in boredom.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Yang Zhen, he was stunned at first, then surprised, and finally shouted in fear:
"Don't, don't hit me, I, I didn't say anything!"
