"This is purple-gold green sandalwood." Yang Zhen held a purple-green stick and said with a smile: "The third-level material, even though it feels the same as hematite, it has a crisp metallic sound when you knock it, but its essence is The wood attribute is suitable for my spiritual root attribute."
"This wood is extremely hard. I don't have to worry about people cutting my stick off in the future, haha!"
He then took out a dark short bow and a bag of arrows, and continued:
"This is a sun-chasing bow. It is modeled after the legendary sun-chasing bow. There are also nine arrows here."
"This kind of special arrow can be connected with my consciousness. In this way, when my consciousness locks on something, the arrow can hit wherever it is pointed."
"If this second-level top-grade bow is strong enough and has sufficient mana, the arrows it shoots will have the effect of a strike in the late stage of foundation building. Although I am strong now, my mana is far from enough, but I can still do it with all my strength. Launch an early-stage foundation-building attack. How about it? Is it powerful?"
"Little Shitou, you are so awesome!" Zhao Yuer gave a thumbs up, while Caiyun clapped hard and cheered loudly.
Yes, Yang Zhen continued to introduce what he had gained from the Zhao family treasury, but the subjects had been changed to Zhao Yue'er and Caiyun. The time has also come to the morning of the second day.
Compared with those spiritual honey, spiritual wine and five element spiritual stones, these two treasures were his biggest gain last night.
Especially that bow, Yang Zhen's attack power suddenly increased to the level of a foundation-building monk.
Of course, compared to the two treasures, he actually had another unexpected surprise.
It was the wood spirit grass that he had been searching for for several years.
He had gone to the academy mission hall many times and quietly posted several bounties for this main medicine used to refine Huoshu Dan, but all of them found nothing. But he didn't expect to find these seeds that had dried up into hard pebbles among the seeds in the Zhao family's inventory.
After consulting Yiyi and getting a positive answer that he could still be saved, he took away all the seeds. The old man who looked at the warehouse didn't even deduct the contribution points and gave it to him directly as a supplement.
It’s really hard to find a place without wearing iron shoes.
In addition, Zhao Yue'er took away a second-level robe and several boxes of water spirit stones; while Caiyun found a set of first-level high-quality armor and flying swords, as well as a box of wood spirit stones.
After the little maid puts on the armor and holds the flying sword, she looks heroic, majestic, and has the spirit of a knight-errant.
…
The three of them are now on the flying boat of the ancestor of the Zhao family, heading towards Yunzhou.
Early this morning, Feizhou arrived at the county town from Zhao Town and stayed here for an hour. Yang Zhen also took the opportunity to visit Aunt Fu and gave her three ten-year life-extending pills, as well as some supplements that mortals could take. These are also the gains from last night.
Then he rushed to the houses where the beggars lived and took away the Xuanyang wood acquired in the past ten days.
As for the Zhao Mansion, after picking up Qin Wan, Cai Yan, Zhao Gui and others, the flying boat took off again and headed towards Yunzhou.
Qin Wan and others, together with the family's fifth elder in charge of foreign affairs and the sixth elder in charge of industry and commerce, will go to the prefecture to visit Dai Mansion.
What was being negotiated was the agreement that Zhao Beiqing had negotiated with the Yin family and Yunqing Palace the day before yesterday.
…
In a study room on the flying boat.
Qin Wan was walking back and forth, holding the square silk scarf in her hand, squeezing it tightly, loosening it, squeezing it tightly again, and pulling it to both sides...
"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" the nanny at the side asked strangely.
Qin Wan glanced at Grandma, stood still, pursed her lips, spread out the silk scarf, and finally sighed:
"Mommy, father-in-law, why do you agree to such a condition?"
"Is there something wrong with this condition?" Grandma was even more surprised:
"Beiqing also told me at that time that thirty million Xuanyang trees could be sold in the city every year. Among them, our Zhao family and Dai family each accounted for 40%, and the Yin family represented by Yunqing Palace , only 10%. The last 10% belongs to some small and insignificant forces. Now Yunqing Palace is willing to give up their share to us, isn't it good?"
"With this 40% share alone, our Zhao family's annual profit will be one hundred thousand spiritual stones. If we add another 10%, we will earn an additional 25,000 yuan per year. Compared with the 20,000 yuan that was given away, the two I’ve been back for three years, isn’t it worth it?”
Mammy asked one question after another, and it was clear that Zhao Beiqing should have asked her about this transaction at the time. And she obviously supports it.
"Mommy," Qin Wan heard her tendency from these few words, and immediately explained patiently:
"There are actually two problems with this deal -"
"First, our profits in Zhoucheng can reach 25% because our Zhuyang is the origin of Xuanyang wood. We are a local snake, so our profits are high. Like the Dai family and Yunqing Palace, their profits are In fact, it is only 15%, and the 10% difference is made by us Shuyang people, and most of it is earned by our Zhao family."
"So, even if Yunqing Palace withdraws, we will only have an additional income of more than 10,000 yuan per year, but we will have a lot more things to worry about, such as labor, stores..."
"That's it, it's still making money. It gets more tiring when you get tired. The important thing is the second point. Without Yunqing Palace, we will directly confront the Dai family in the future. This is not a good thing!"
"What do you mean?" Mammy was a little confused: "In the past, when Yunqing Palace was here, they had a closer relationship with the Dai family. If the two families faced one family, wouldn't we suffer more?"
"This is different." Qin Wan shook her head lightly: "Two families are against one family. Even if they join forces to bully us, it is still a business matter. We will suffer some losses and take advantage, but it will not hurt the foundation. Moreover, the father-in-law and the It’s not bad to have a personal relationship with the Kawakami people, and sometimes, it’s not necessarily us who are being bullied!”
"But now, if Yunqing Palace withdraws, we will directly confront the Dai family. If business matters are not discussed well at this time, it can easily turn into a feud between the two families. At that time, we will not even find a mediator. Even the third one didn’t work.”
"Facing an established Jindan family like the Dai family, our Zhao family is afraid that we will suffer a loss!"
"No way," said grandma worriedly, "otherwise, we don't want this share anymore?"
"It has become a fact that Yunqing Palace has withdrawn. Whether we want it or not, we have to confront the Dai family." Qin Wan's attitude was firm: "Since it's all been said, of course we still have to accept it!"
"Listen to Beiqing," Mammy comforted, "Xiao Shitou found out the female spy planted by the Qin State this time. She acted very boldly and carefully, which was highly appreciated by the ancestor of the Dai family. Moreover, in the secret realm, He also saved the young master of the Dai family."
"Maybe this trip is also an opportunity for us to have a close relationship with the Dai family!"
"I hope so." Qin Wan touched her chest with her hand, but felt a little uneasy in her heart.
…
The flying boat arrived at Yunzhou City at noon.
The group of people walked out of the shipyard, and there were already two disciples, one white and one yellow, waiting outside.
This is Zhao Beiqing's subordinate, a disciple of Yunzhou Baoyuan Hall.
Many of the sect's palaces have affiliated branches in various states. This includes not only the Baoyuan Palace, but also the Hundred Beasts Palace, which has little local influence. There is also the Hundred Beasts Palace in Yunzhou, which specializes in acquiring and apprehending monsters. beast.
Unlike Zhenguo Palace, which has its own exclusive spiritual veins, these branch halls are usually established on the spiritual veins of Zhouchengfang City instead of relying on the spiritual veins of Zhou Palace.
On the one hand, he did not want to be dependent on others, but on the other hand, life in the prefectural city was naturally more convenient and comfortable.
Baoyuan Hall is located at the foot of Falling Cloud Mountain.
The two disciples called a few carriages, and everyone got on the carriages, meandering, and arrived at Baoyuan Hall a quarter of an hour later.
My ancestor is the absolute master here, so the Zhao family naturally has no restraints in this place. Under the leadership of the handyman disciples, everyone rested, ate, and walked around the yard.
Zhao Beiqing came to the lobby of his office. A disciple brought him tea. He took a sip and then ordered:
"Bring me the jade slips from the past few days."
The disciple on the side immediately presented a square box with more than a dozen jade slips neatly packed inside.
The Zongmen General Affairs Hall produces a large number of jade slips every day and sends them to various places through the teleportation array. The content is very complicated, including important things in the mortal world, various stories from the world of immortality, and even the occasional insights gained by the immortality cultivators themselves.
It is very similar to Yang Zhen’s newspapers in her previous life.
It's just that the speed at which immortal cultivators can read these jade slips is simply incomparable to mortals. Every time Zhao Beiqing grabbed a jade slip and put it on his forehead for half a breath, he had already taken a general look at the jade slip. If there was something that needed special attention, he would put it on it for a few more breaths.
Soon after he finished reviewing the major and minor matters of the past ten days, he gave instructions to his subordinates on a few more matters, and then planned to leave to accompany Taoist Master He Jing.
At this moment, a disciple in yellow hurried in, with an unopened jade slip placed on the tray.
"Your Excellency, this is the jade slip that just arrived today."
"Oh? Bring it over."
Zhao Beiqing grabbed the jade slip and made a magic spell to open the seal.
Then, put it on your forehead and close your eyes to read.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, his hand loosened, and the jade slip slipped off the table without him realizing it.
In my mind, I was shocked by something reported by Yu Jian——
"Hanzhou Battle Report: Hall Master Bai was ambushed and died in battle, and hundreds of people from Xuanfeng Hall died for their country!"
