At dawn the next day, Zhou Yang set out on the road, this time taking Chi Hu with him.
He first went to Mo Chenglong's office to discuss some details and made sure that the purchased spiritual herbs would be placed in his spiritual field. If necessary, Mo Chenglong would guard them there at night.
With the cultivation levels of Zhou Yang and Tie Hu, Mo Chenglong was a little worried at first, but now that he saw Chi Hu, he felt relieved.
One person and one tiger arrived in front of shopkeeper Liang's stall.
Shopkeeper Liang's eyes narrowed, he looked at Chi Hu carefully for a while, and praised: "What a spiritual beast, this guy has great potential!"
"Shopkeeper Liang is ridiculous, it's just an ordinary spiritual beast." Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"Not bad, really good." Shopkeeper Liang muttered as he didn't seem to hear Zhou Yang's words, staring straight at Chi Hu.
"Ahem, Shopkeeper Liang, what I have asked you to do..." Zhou Yang coughed lightly.
"Oh, oh." Shopkeeper Liang looked back and said softly: "You came just in time. This is an identity token. From today on, you two are permanent residents of Anping City. Of course, Now I can enjoy the treatment of permanent residents.”
Zhou Yang was overjoyed when he heard this. He no longer had to live in Anping City as outsiders. He and his senior brother finally had a place to live.
After taking the token, he bowed to Shopkeeper Liang and said, "Shopkeeper Liang, you have helped my two brothers a lot. Please accept my thanks."
"It's little things, brother, you don't have to be like this."
"This matter is not trivial. If it weren't for your help, we would not have become permanent residents so smoothly. I will invite shopkeeper Liang to dinner at noon today. Don't refuse." Zhou Yang sincerely invited.
"Brother, you're too polite. No need to."
"I must thank you. I'm not familiar with this place, so I'd like to ask Shopkeeper Liang to find a good wine shop."
"In this case, it's better to be respectful than to obey orders. In this case, it was all his help when I made an appointment with my friend from Tongzhou Commercial Bank. I don't dare to take credit." Shopkeeper Liang responded.
"Okay, okay, I must thank you as my friend."
"It will be at Wanshun Building, not far from here. I will go find him after closing the stall. You can go directly there." Shopkeeper Liang thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, Mr. Liang, please be busy first. I'll be waiting for you at noon." After saying that, Zhou Yang said goodbye and left.
Zhou Yang didn't know where Wanshun Building was, so he had to find it quickly and then book a private room.
In fact, this restaurant is not too far away. It's just one street away from Liberty Square City.
Wanshun Building is a three-story pavilion, not luxurious, but elegant in its silence. Shopkeeper Liang chose a good place.
Zhou Yang asked for a private room and asked about the approximate price, and he was sure. This restaurant does not allow spirit beasts to enter. Zhou Yang talked with the manager of this restaurant for a long time and agreed to pay additional spirit stones and ensure that the spirit beasts would not cause trouble. The steward then agreed to allow Chi Hu to enter the restaurant, but only in the private room. Activity.
At noon, Zhou Yang, who had been waiting at the door of the restaurant for a long time, finally saw Shopkeeper Liang. Not only two people came, but three people. In the middle is an elegant middle-aged man, wearing a square scarf and a green robe, with a white face and no beard, a purple storage bag hanging on his waist, and a piece of flawless jade. He certainly has extraordinary bearing and graceful demeanor. But shopkeeper Liang was half a step behind with an elegant young man.
"Shopkeeper Liang, please come inside." Zhou Yang greeted him with a busy smile.
"I've kept you waiting. Let me introduce you. This is Manager Liu from Tongzhou Commercial Bank. This manager is Zhou Yang." Shopkeeper Liang introduced.
"I've met Manager Liu." Zhou Yang bowed his hands.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Zhou." Manager Liu nodded lightly.
"This is Brother He." Shopkeeper Liang introduced the young man again.
Zhou Yang also said hello and hurriedly invited the three people to enter the building.
Manager Liu and the young man surnamed He couldn't help but look strange when they saw Chi Hu behind Zhou Yang.
After entering the private room and taking a seat, Shopkeeper Liang first said: "Brother Zhou, Manager Liu is helping to handle your matter. I will give Manager Liu a few more drinks later!"
"Absolutely. Thank you Manager Liu for helping me. I'm very grateful." Zhou Yang stood up and thanked him.
The middle-aged man smiled and waved.
After Zhou Yang asked Shopkeeper Liang to order food and drink, he first greeted Manager Liu, then Shopkeeper Liang, and finally the young man surnamed He.
The young man surnamed He smiled and said: "My little brother's surname is Zhou. I don't know where the fairyland is."
"I am the Tuyan family."
"Okay, let's drink together." The young man only asked one question and then raised his glass to each other.
Shopkeeper Liang is the middleman and very talkative. The atmosphere in the private room is very lively.
Through mutual exchanges, Zhou Yang found out that Manager Liu ran a store in Tongzhou Trading Company and had business relationships with Shopkeeper Liang for many years. The young man surnamed He is a disciple of the Xuanfu Sect. Shopkeeper Liang often purchases the sect's spiritual talismans through him, and he is considered a business collaborator.
Originally, the young man named He was not included in the invitation. Shopkeeper Liang met him halfway and invited him together.
The three of them had known each other for a long time, and Zhou Yang was the only stranger in the private room.
According to shopkeeper Liang, Guanshi Liu is a late cultivator of Lingtai, and the young man surnamed He is also in the early stage of Lingtai. In terms of cultivation, they are all Zhou Yang's seniors.
During the dinner, Shopkeeper Liang helped Zhou Yang bring up the matter of borrowing spiritual stones. Manager Liu couldn't refuse it for Shopkeeper Liang's sake and asked Zhou Yang to go to the shop to find him tomorrow.
The banquet broke up in less than an hour, and the meal cost a total of fifty spiritual stones. However, Zhou Yang believed that it was worth the money. Not only did he get things done, but he also made friends with a steward from Tongzhou Trading Company, which was the best of both worlds.
Through these several contacts, Zhou Yang got to know Shopkeeper Liang a lot, and the relationship between the two quickly grew closer.
Shopkeeper Liang’s real name is Liang Sanli. The reason why he was called Sanli was because his mother went out to relax during her pregnancy, but she gave birth to him as soon as she left Sanli of Anping City, so she was named Liang Sanli at that time.
Manager Liu's name is Liu Menglong. According to shopkeeper Liang, he is a pretty good man and very loyal.
The next day, Zhou Yang didn't waste any time and went directly to Manager Liu and quietly presented him with fifty spiritual stones. In this regard, Zhou Yang is very generous.
What happened next went surprisingly smoothly. With Manager Liu as a guarantor, Tongzhou Commercial Bank sent people to inspect the spiritual fields of Zhou Yang and Mo Chenglong on the spot, and agreed to lend them 3,500 yuan for a first-grade spiritual product.
However, Zhou Yang felt that it was not enough, so he offered thirty more spiritual stones to the man who checked the spiritual field. After some operations, the trading bank loaned them four thousand yuan of first-grade spiritual stones, with a term of one year, with monthly interest and principal repayment at maturity.
Seeing that things were going smoothly, Mo Chenglong readily took out five hundred spirit stones and handed them to Zhou Yang.
In fact, it was enough for them to have 4,500 spiritual stones as capital, because the price of purchasing large-leaf green grass was nine yuan per hundred catties of first-grade spiritual stones, and it was exactly 4,500 yuan to collect 50,000 catties. The matter of borrowing spiritual stones was all handled by Zhou Yang, and the spiritual stones that were arranged up and down were also provided by Zhou Yang. Mo Chenglong was not stingy and did not care about how much Zhou Yang provided.
The two went to the city and rented six mortals and six carriages through Tongzhou Trading Company, and began to buy big-leaf grass door-to-door. Now that they have limited spiritual stones, they dare not purchase other spiritual herbs and elixirs, and they only want the cheapest large-leaf green grass.
The two of them worked hard for more than half a month and finally collected 50,000 catties. Excluding wages and rent, they made a net profit of 430 yuan of first-grade spiritual stones. Although it was hard work, the efforts finally paid off.
Because they had just started doing business, they were bound to make some detours, so it took them more than half a month to collect everything for the first time. Later, in ten days, he could collect 50,000 kilograms of spiritual grass.
In the first month, I earned 880 yuan of first-grade spiritual stones. In addition to the interest on the loan, I made a net profit of 530 yuan of spiritual stones. In the second month, I earned 1,300 yuan. After excluding the interest, I was left with a net balance of 1,050 yuan in first-grade spiritual stones, more than 500 yuan per person.
The happiest person is Mo Chenglong. His income in the previous five months was more than 500 spiritual stones, but now he can earn 500 yuan a month. Not only is it enough for the family's cultivation, but he can also buy elixirs. With magic weapons, the cultivation speed will definitely increase a lot.
Zhou Yang and Mo Chenglong didn't go to buy spiritual grass every day. Tie Hu and Mo Chenglong's son also went there several times, and several of them had touched the threshold of this business.
Mo Chenglong was stationed at Zhou Yang's spiritual field at night. Tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual grass was not a small amount, so he naturally attached great importance to safety issues. As for his spiritual field, he left it to his son to take care of.
"This is what the peak of Kaiyuan is like!" One day, Zhou Yang, who had closed his eyes for a long time, opened his eyes and murmured with a long breath.
Huang Lingdan is really a good thing. With its help, coupled with Zhou Yang's hard training day and night, he finally successfully entered the tenth level of Tianyuan, reaching the peak level in one fell swoop.
At this level, Zhou Yang felt that in addition to the great improvement in his skills, some subtle changes were taking place in his body's energy. He punched the same, but his strength increased a lot. What's more, he vaguely felt that there was some heat at the altar, and it seemed that some kind of change was about to happen.
In addition, when his body unconsciously absorbed the external gas, it began to automatically ignore the semi-spiritual energy, and actually actively absorbed the spiritual energy!
Don't underestimate this subtle change. Ordinary cultivators can only do this when they reach the Lingtai realm. And Zhou Yang only had such a change at the tenth level of Kaiyuan. This is the so-called talent!
"Lingtai, Lingtai, the essence of energy turns into spiritual power. Once I cultivate my spiritual consciousness on the platform, I will step into the realm of Lingtai!" Zhou Yang clenched his hands into fists and murmured.
After breaking through the realm, it is natural to release something. Zhou Yang ran on the edge of the wasteland and used all the techniques he had learned. The Heaven-piercing Sword Technique, Kong Xuan Palm, and Flame Technique wheel turned into battle, frightening the little beasts hiding in the grass and fled in all directions.
A few days later, Tiehu also broke through to the tenth level of Kaiyuan.
The big-leaf green grass has finally come to be harvested. Thirty acres of spiritual fields have produced nine thousand kilograms of big-leaf green grass, which is nine hundred pieces of first-grade spiritual stones. The growth period of other people's large-leaf green grass is more than three months, while his is a little more than two months, which shortens the growth period by a full month. The cost of spiritual grass is relatively lower than others.
It's a pity that this year can only have one more season, because winter will come in more than two months, and large-leaf green grass cannot grow in winter, but the elixir is not afraid of the cold, but its growth is slower.
There is no way, this is the law of nature, as the saying goes, spring brings growth and summer grows, autumn harvests and winter hides, the sun and moon change, and the laws of heaven are constant. Zhou Yang is a small cultivator, and he can't change anything now. He can only hope that one day he will become a peerless powerhouse, and then everything will be possible.
But unfortunately, all the materials for refining Huang Ling Dan have been used up, and we still have to find ways to obtain materials.
Bell red is not hard to find and can be bought in the city, but other materials are hard to find, especially rock grass, which is in short supply.
Anping City is located in a plain area and does not produce rock grass and yellow grass, let alone colorless ores. But these materials are available on Cangshou Mountain, and also in other cities with mountains.
But Cangshou Mountain is too far away, and each faction will not specifically transport some cheap spiritual herbs. Even if there were, it would not be enough to eat all the Cang Beast Palace, there would be no leftovers at all. However, the teleportation arrays in several major cities connected to Anping City have not yet been opened, so the materials Zhou Yang needs are even scarcer.
