After two days of traveling, Yunfei finally received an invitation from a certain Duke.
He was too lazy to directly break into the palace, so he asked the steward to collect the list of nobles in the main city.
An old duke was selected to discuss cooperation.
Although spirit-testing beads are easy to make, raw materials and labor cost money, so it is impossible to give them for free.
Each spirit-testing bead must be able to make a small profit before he sells it.
Some of the money earned can be rewarded to the refining slaves, and the rest can be used to maintain the family's operations.
The reason why Duke Zach Person was selected was also out of admiration for him.
Nobility is hereditary, and many nobles are now just families who do not do anything and only take benefits.
But this Duke Zach Person is different. He is a Duke who was born as a commoner and earned his fortune on horseback.
The family are all kind-hearted people.
Sons and daughters-in-law are on the battlefield on the border, and grandchildren are also serving as officials in barren places to protect the people.
The granddaughters are also donating rice porridge, medicine and so on.
He himself is not pedantic. Although he is an upright duke, he will not refuse the filial piety of some wealthy families.
Innocuous things can be done, but excessive things can't be done for a fee.
All the money gained was used to help the poor and support the soldiers.
He couldn't do anything because his family needed money to do good deeds, but he wasn't greedy either.
Except for the clothes required for banquets, I usually wear common clothes, and the same goes for the children in my family.
An honest and kind-hearted nobleman.
The main reason is that he has enough voice and identity. If the matter is left to him, Yunfei can just stay in the rear as a logistical supply.
………
The night after receiving the invitation, Yunfei went to visit with his son and daughter.
It was a simple dinner, with only the old Duke and his family on the table, and no one else waiting.
"Hello, sir, what is your name?"
The old Duke's attitude was very respectful, because when the steward contacted him, he had already said that Yun Fei was a tenth-level spiritual master.
But in fact, he is already equivalent to level 12.
Currently, there is no known Tier 12 in Xizhou Continent. To be on the safe side, it is better to keep it safe.
Even the tenth level was enough for the old Duke to value him, so his attitude was very respectful.
Yunfei's attitude towards him was also very polite and not arrogant.
So he stretched out his hand to help him up and said politely: "You don't have to be polite, Duke, you can call me Joaquin."
"Hello, Mr. Joaquin!"
The duke's wife and their grandchildren followed him and saluted.
The aristocratic etiquette is relatively complicated, so after finishing the meal very politely, Yun Fei and the Duke went to his study to talk.
As for Jin Sheng and Lynn, they were accompanied by the grandchildren of the Duke's family to play in the small garden.
The two children are the youngest among them. Lin En is chatting and laughing with everyone in a relaxed and generous manner, but Jin Sheng is a bit shy and reticent.
When it came to fighting, he would get up with the sword, but when it came to socializing with others, he had to step back and let his sister go.
Yunfei in the study room also talked about things smoothly.
It turns out that the old Duke's people had already reported this matter when they were helping poor villages and towns in various places.
It's just that they couldn't find any trace of the Necromancer and couldn't predict their next plan, so they didn't start taking action.
There are also some of his people who have never been heard from again, and they are probably gone.
I don’t know if it was discovered during the investigation or if it was sacrificed along with the people.
Now that I have obtained the Spirit Testing Pearl, it is undoubtedly a timely help.
Now you can organize your manpower and use these beads to round up the undead master.
Because of the characteristics of cultivation, necromancers generally do not choose to gather together, but are scattered throughout the country.
So it's a good time to defeat them one by one. In the later stage, after they have reached the peak of their cultivation, it will be difficult to deal with them.
The cost of the spirit-testing beads is ten gold coins, and each of the refiners in the mansion can refine about two of them per day.
The final price is 15 gold coins each.
This price, while ensuring their profits, is already a super discount.
After all, they are recyclable beads. You only need to buy a batch, and there is a high probability that you will not need to purchase them again. Even if there are some damaged ones, there should not be many.
The beads Yunfei brought this time were just enough for the Duke.
Simply trade directly at their warehouse to avoid second contact.
As for the ones that are still being refined at home, we will not waste them. We will leave some for the family, put a box of inventory in the space, and take them to other planes.
The rest can be traded to Dongzhou Continent and Zhongzhou Continent.
Dongzhou is stronger than Xizhou, and Zhongzhou is stronger than both.
Except for spiritual masters, their other professions are developing well. I heard that the martial arts masters in Dongzhou have special inheritance and are very powerful.
Zhongzhou has gathered strong men from three continents and is the headquarters of the Church of Light, so it is naturally powerful.
After the transaction, the old Duke also handed over a gold-plated invitation letter and said: "Next year, Xizhou Continent will send its younger generation to Zhongzhou to compete.
I see that your children are all very good, and I would like to invite you to take your children to participate and win glory for Xizhou.
Of course, it is not for nothing. Our kingdom will reward the child with the highest ranking with the right to develop a gold mine. "
The development rights do not mean giving you the gold mine, but your family sends people to dig the gold mine and then pays 50/50 to the palace.
Labor, also known as slaves, is the lowest cost thing, so this development right is very valuable.
Even if it is a third-rate family, if it gets a gold mine, it will be able to squeeze into the second-rate family at worst.
If the gold mine is relatively large, it is not impossible to enter a first-class family.
“In addition, there is also the right to live in a first-class city, and the king will also reward homesteads and other items.
If you get into the top ten of the three continents, you can also be knighted.
The first three titles include the right to reside in the main city. "
The quota for participation is inherent, and it does not mean that everyone in Xizhou can go.
In the invitation letter distributed by the palace, there are ten places for each first-class family, the same is true for the nobles, and there are also ten places for each branch of Saint Sith Academy.
There were already hundreds of people gathered like this.
Then go to the palace for the final competition and select the top 120 to go to Zhongzhou Continent.
The first hundred are contestants, and the last twenty are substitutes.
After taking it, Yunfei asked: "Can only one person participate in this invitation?"
"No, no, no, there are ten quotas in this invitation, which are all for our family. You can arrange them as you like."
The old Duke was very open-minded. They already had noble titles and lived in the main city.
Among the rewards, except for some cultivation treasures and gold mines, there was nothing else that attracted him.
It's better to use it as a favor, and even if their grandchildren are outstanding, they can't even get ten of them together.
Only three people under the age of twenty-five have reached the fifth level of spiritual masters, four have reached the fourth level, and those of the third level have no hope of passing the selection within Xizhou.
