After losing a fight that he didn't know why, Zhang Qing didn't have any ups and downs in his heart because of this incident. On the contrary, he couldn't help but look at his ancestor, and his eyes were full of curiosity about this matter.
But no one sent a message to him to explain anything, and he could only wait for the end of the fight.
Thirty members from each of the four major families were fighting at the ninth level of Qi training. The Zhang family was at the bottom with a record of eleven wins and nineteen losses. However, this was not the end. Soon the battle between the foundation builders also began.
However, there seemed to be no elders from the previous generation on the stage. They were all the younger generation, and the ones with the highest cultivation level were only on the second level of foundation building.
By the time the battle between the foundation-building monks was over, the sky was already slightly brighter, and the four giant pillars holding up the sky could be vaguely seen in the distant skyline.
The results of the foundation-building battle were not much different. The Zhang family did not place at the bottom, but suppressed the other three families.
"Zhang Shenyuan, is your Zhang family weak? Be careful about the succession." In the Shui family, there was an old man with a bad look on his face, because one of the Shui family foundation builders was seriously injured by Zhang Baiyu and fell into a coma.
"Take care of yourself. Shui Che has succeeded. Why hasn't the second golden lotus planter from your Shui family shown up yet?"
Hearing this, the old man from the Shui family gave him a cold look, but did not say anything.
"Calm down, they are all old guys who still imitate other young people's quarrels. If you really don't accept it, go to the Jinlan Sect." Zhao Yu from the Zhao family sighed and said, and then looked at the other three families.
"The results have come out. Do you have any objections?" The old man from the Zhao family glanced at Zhang Shenyuan emphatically.
"The people from the Zhang family were in a hurry, and many of the younger generations didn't show up, but the rules are the rules."
Zhang Shenyuan glanced at the other party and said, "We have never thought about rejecting it. Anyway, we are dealing with the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce. What's the difference if it's more or less?"
"In the end, the spirit stone will come back to us."
"In that case, let's settle it? Our four families must trade spiritual objects worth two and a half million spirit stones with the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce every year. According to today's results, the Zhao family will pay 10%, the Gu family will pay 20%, and the Shui family will pay 20%. The family contributes 25%, and the Zhang family is responsible for the remaining 45%."
"Our four major families and the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce will enter a state of relaxation from the moment the contract takes effect. No one of them shall reduce the resources they need to trade. At the same time, they will restrain their disciples not to go to those affiliates that were snatched away by the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce. Fight, if you have failed once, don’t embarrass yourself a second time.”
"We cannot let the Jinlan Sect see the four major families and the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce fighting. This is the best result."
Zhang Qing, who was sitting motionless in his position, finally showed his surprise. Did they appear in Luojing just for the two and a half million spirit stones?
Moreover, it seems that the four major families have already reached some kind of relationship with the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce before this? Do you trade two and a half million spiritual stones for spiritual objects every year?
Two and a half million spiritual stones are distributed among the four major families. The result of this battle is to determine who has the most?
According to this result, the Zhang family needs to trade more than one million spirit stones and spiritual objects with the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce every year, while the Zhao family only needs to trade 250,000.
"Lingyue Chamber of Commerce..." When he heard about the appearance of Lingyue Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Qing was still thinking about how they could take root in Yunmengze. He thought about concentrating the resources in the hands of casual cultivators, and also thought about those small The family's small sect's industry.
But he didn't know until now that he was wrong. The Lingyue Chamber of Commerce would definitely do business with those he wanted, but the most important thing was that they had directly opened up economic ties with the four major families.
The three Golden Lotus cultivators forcibly snatched a piece of meat from the hands of the four major families. Compared to this, the one at Huoyuan Villa was just a small fight and could not even get into the eyes of the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce.
And the current result is also obvious. The four major families do not want to have too much friction with the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce and have recognized the two and a half million spiritual objects.
Will the four major families suffer losses? Naturally, there is no loss. Even if it is given to the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce, it is in the form of a transaction. The Lingyue Chamber of Commerce dare not not give it the spiritual stone it deserves, but the four major families will lose something in other ways.
For example, where the spiritual objects worth two and a half million spiritual stones were originally supposed to go, these spiritual objects might have appeared in the resource allocation of the family's descendants or in the transactions of affiliated forces, but now, the family needs to use them. Adjust other things.
The Zhang family, which accounts for 45%, is naturally the most affected, but it seems that the family doesn't care much?
"Now that this matter has been settled, in the next few days, we will discuss what spiritual objects to use to trade with the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce. Their demands are not small. Have you all brought them?"
Zhao Yu looked around the three families talking about it. There should be a foundation there that was familiar with the origin and destination of all the spiritual objects in each family.
Trading two and a half million spirit stones for spiritual objects is not just about saying one word and deciding one thing. There are many, many details involved.
Moreover, there are some ordinary spiritual beings that the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce will not want. What they want are some of Yunmengze’s unique resources. Only then can they earn enough spiritual stones outside of Yunmengze.
…
Zhang Qing returned to the mansion where he settled, but not all the elders came back. When he asked other elders, he still didn't get many answers, but became more confused.
"In the past few days, you should find an opportunity to leave Luojing and return to Chihu. You can only go back to Chihu."
These were the words of an elder who he should call aunt. When Zhang Qing continued to ask, the latter kept silent and moved on to other topics.
"Luo Jing may not be in peace lately, so you guys should just leave quickly."
The next day, the brothers of the family planned to leave here. Two days later, Zhang Qing also appeared outside Luojing, alone.
He couldn't control Bailu in front of others, so he asked Zhang Mingxian to take Zhang Xiaoyu back to Chihu first under the guise of something else.
Sitting alone in the carriage, Zhang Qing frowned and paid no attention to the little white deer.
"Recent things seem to be too chaotic." He couldn't help but murmur.
It starts from the end of the Land of Yunxia, no, it can even be said from the beginning of the Land of Yunxia, because the entire Land of Yunxia is almost certainly created by the family Zhang Shenling.
Yes, from that time on, to the appearance of the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce, to the few of them going to Huoyuan Villa, and then to Luojing on the way, everything seemed a bit random.
It was as if someone saw a medium-sized stone while walking, and then kicked it forward. When he walked to the stone again not long after, he kicked it out again.
No one knows what trajectory the star will roll on and which kick it will take before disappearing.
But what is certain is that the stone will definitely disappear, and the walker will return to the steady pace of moving forward at that time.
That person could be a random person on the road, or... the entire Yunmengze.
As for the stone, it was Zhang Qing. He appeared in one place and was quickly kicked to another place without even a moment to breathe in between.
"Everything I have experienced recently, except for the influence of the Golden Lotus planted by the official family, everything else, whether it is the Land of Yunxia, Huoyuan Villa, or Luojing, is actually related to Lingxi Spear and Xianyue The city is even related to the family.”
"But on the surface, it's all because of the appearance of Lingyue Chamber of Commerce."
Zhang Qing knew very well that as a person with only the ninth level of Qi training, he was just an insignificant chess piece in this invisible fog. He didn't know who the chess player was, so he could only passively fall into the trap of one unrelated person after another. Location.
Everything he is doing now is not driven by his own subjective will, but driven by a huge hand.
There is no need to think, you just need to devote yourself to the ninth level of Qi training.
This is the obligation that every clan member who enjoys family rights must bear.
He is not an independent cultivator who only feeds himself so that the whole family will not be hungry. All his actions are for resources.
Many times, he doesn't get anything, but he is running for the family and knows nothing about it.
"Is the head of the family in or out of the game?" Zhang Qing thought about this question, but the next moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the closed wooden door of the carriage.
The scaly horse carriage does not need a driver. As a foreign species, they will continue to move forward according to Zhang Qing's will. After all, the carriage itself is also a magic weapon, which was sacrificed and refined by Zhang Qing.
But now, the carriage appeared on a strange road, which was particularly desolate and seemed to have been abandoned for many years.
When Zhang Qing slowly stepped out of the carriage, a figure from behind also turned around.
"You are so alert at such a young age and can see through my confusion. You are indeed not as weak as you appear."
"So, come on, tell me why the Zhang family wants you to lose the fight. Your strength is superior to that boy from the Shui family, but you lost."
"What do you Zhang family plan to do?"
Sure enough, there are not so many fools in this world, Zhang Qing thought in his heart.
He turned around and put the white deer in his arms on the carriage, gently caressing the latter's neck. After a long time, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him again.
Each water droplet has been quietly suspended in the void for some time.
