Qinghu Villa.
In the huge venue, tables and cases were placed at random, and many monks placed the items they wanted to trade.
It was crowded with people and talking in low voices, just like a small market.
Perhaps, it is more appropriate to call it a 'black market'.
Because many people are discreetly wearing hats or facial masks.
The trade fair was no different from the Lantern Festival gathering. Only monks from Qingyang City participated, as well as casual cultivators from surrounding towns and villages. There were so many people, so we had to be careful.
In addition, this year's trade fair is different from previous years. A stone hall has been built next to the small bamboo forest and a small auction will be held.
Zhong Yan only received the bidding invitation from Yang Yanqing a few days ago, otherwise he would have postponed the purchase of the house.
Because there is a bottle of 'Spirit Enhancing Liquid' in the bidding catalog that is exactly what he wants.
'Spirit-increasing liquid' is given to women who are preparing to conceive to increase the possibility of giving birth to offspring.
It is not difficult to refine, and the materials are not rare. However, the main ingredient takes a long time to mature, so it is not commonly seen in the market.
Although it is only a certain probability, it has been proven to be effective.
No matter how small the probability is, it is still a hope.
Therefore, the 'Spirit Enhancing Liquid' is very popular, but the price is not too high. If you can't buy it this time, you will have a chance next time.
Zhong Yan walked forward and scanned the crowd. There were four to five hundred people in total.
This is not a small scale.
He looked back at an old man at the entrance, guessing that he was from the Zhou family, and further realized that Yang Yanqing had a close relationship with the Zhou family.
If the Yang family succeeds in establishing a clan and has the current foundation, it will be logical to open a small market in Qingyang City in the future.
After wandering around for a while, Zhong Yan found a place to place the talisman.
This naturally aroused the familiar monks in the city to be surprised.
"Zhong Daoyou, this talisman has reached the top grade!"
Zhong Yan was not modest, and said with a smile: "If he doesn't improve, Zhong will probably have inner demons. All his energy will be spent on this, and his cultivation will not improve at all."
"No need to be afraid. With this skill, when I save enough money, I can buy more pills and add them to the pile!"
The eyes of several monks who came forward showed envy. With a stable income, it was only a matter of time before their realms improved. Even if they could not build a foundation, they could still increase their longevity.
It didn't take long, and Zhong Yan had not refined many talismans. With both sides benefiting, the monk friends in the city took care of the business and bought them all.
He wanted to shop around again to see if there was anything suitable to buy, but Bai Siyuan stepped forward and pulled him aside.
"Congratulations to fellow Daoist Zhong for achieving the top rank! My dear brother was a late bloomer, and only now has he shown such talent in Talismans!"
"Brother Taoist praises you greatly."
Bai Siyuan smiled broadly and lowered his voice: "Brother Xian, how many spiritual stones do you have on hand? Lend them to me for use first. I have a target for bidding later."
After Li Henian introduced him, Zhong Yan got to know Bai Siyuan and had a good relationship with him, and he was a late-stage monk at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
He lent out a hundred spiritual stones worth, turned his palm over and handed the other party a cloth bag: "With the proceeds from selling the talismans, I bought a house and emptied all my wealth."
"House? In the South District?"
Bai Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zhong Yan nodding, his eyes widened a bit, and then he showed a meaningful smile, "Let's go inside together."
"Brother Taoist, do you have any news about New Year's greetings to Brother Taoist?"
"I asked Fellow Daoist Yang that no one from the Fang family's demon hunting team has come out yet, and there is no fixed time for going to such a place. Don't worry, Brother He Nian is not a rookie who has just entered the practice. With his strength, he will not have any problems if he is more cautious."
Zhong Yan nodded, feeling that this trip was a bit dangerous.
In the past, Li Henian would have been careful enough, but now that his family has a spiritual root to cultivate, he would probably take some risks that he shouldn't take.
After the mid-year trade fair.
Zhong Yan's identity as a first-level talisman master gradually spread among the monks in Qingyang City.
The monks who had known each other before were willing to take the relationship further.
Those acquaintances also began to come to deepen their relationship, including a few who were at odds with Li Henian.
Zhong Yan was welcomed and sent off, and his reputation gradually grew.
The secular industry 'Yelai Restaurant' is doing well, with an income of more than 800 taels in less than a year last year.
Zhong Yan bought another store in the wealthy east district and opened a high-end restaurant. He also hired people to take care of it and only let his wives and concubines at home occasionally check the accounts.
In addition, he also bought an unused house in the West District of the slums and planned to renovate it into a martial arts gym for the future.
After some management, the Zhong Mansion also began to come into the sight of mortal families.
It's late August.
Another great event is coming to Zhong Mansion.
Chun Yu and Xia He gave birth to a son and a daughter on the same day.
[Ding~ Give birth to an heir, gain spell bonus +3, skill awareness +3, Talisman experience +8, cultivation experience +30]
[Ding~ Give birth to an heir, gain +5 spell bonus, +5 skill awareness, +10 Talisman experience, +40 cultivation experience]
Beautiful electronic sounds came from my mind one after another.
Zhong Yan looked strange.
Giving birth to a daughter yields less experience points than giving birth to a son!
"The co-authorship system is also a patriarchal one?!"
However, Zhong Yan didn't care. He was very happy to have his only daughter among his four sons. She looked very similar to her mother Dongcao.
He was in a good mood and gave great rewards to the whole family and Po Wen.
Suddenly she saw Yan Sandao holding her eldest son. Although she was smiling, there was a hint of darkness in her eyes.
Zhong Yan paused and beckoned: "Three swords, come here."
"Husband!"
The two of them went to the end of the corridor. Zhong Yan pinched his son's cheek and teased him, and asked, "Are you feeling unhappy?"
Yan Sandao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "A bit, Dao'er also wants to give birth to a son and a half for her husband like the sisters, but Dao'er knows that her husband has other plans for Dao'er."
"Well, there will be in the future."
Zhong Yan nodded, raised his hand and rubbed her cheek, "There are more and more things happening in the house, and you have to help take care of my husband."
Yan Sandao's martial arts aptitude is indeed excellent. It is more difficult to improve the acquired skills than the physical training. She is also faster than Jiang Ping. She is now at the peak of the fourth level of acquired skills, while Jiang Ping has good aptitude and is only at the fourth level of physical training.
"Daoer understands in his heart, but he feels a little uncomfortable."
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "You have to put yourself in their shoes. They all have children. If you don't, you are a unique and special existence."
Yan Sandao blinked, pursed his lips and smiled charmingly, "Sure enough, thinking about it this way, I feel much better!"
Immediately, she leaned closer to her husband and said coquettishly in a low voice: "Is that knife the one that your husband loves and loves the most?"
"must be!"
Zhong Yan patted her face and strode away. Behind him came a cheerful chuckle and a voice teasing a child: "Did you hear that, Xing'er? Your father loves Erniang the most, okay~"
However.
Two days later, Zhong Yan gave similar words of enlightenment to his concubine Dong Cao, who was somewhat depressed about "sisters giving birth to sons and daughters themselves."
