www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of protecting our clan leader!
……
Just when Chenguang and Xinglan, the poor master and apprentice, were "quarreling" and worrying about money.
Wang Shouzhe and his party, who had just been settled in Wuji Shrine, entered [Xuantian City] under the guidance of the palace guards and went to play privately.
Speaking of which, it has been fifty years since Wang Shouzhe and others came to the fairy world.
But for the past fifty years, I have been traveling in Daozhou, and basically walking within the control area of the demon clan. I have to carefully avoid the demon clan patrol fleet along the way, and I have not yet been able to appreciate the elegance of the fairy world.
Therefore, when I first arrived at Xuantian City, I naturally wanted to take a stroll and take a look.
"You two gentlemen, miss, look over there."
The person in charge of entertaining Wang Shouzhe's three descendants was a heroic-looking palace guard.
He transferred a flying chariot pulled by fairy birds from the palace and took the three of them to fly through Xuantian City. Every time he passed a landmark building, he stopped briefly to introduce it to the three of them.
"That huge and majestic palace is Xuantian Palace. This is the management center of Xuantian City, and it handles countless affairs every day."
This should be a place similar to the castle guard's palace.
Wang Shouzhe knew it, but he was not interested in it for the time being. He just smiled and said: "Go and see if you have a chance."
"Sir, look again, that tower that towers into the stars." The palace guard pointed to a nearby tower and introduced, "That is the Xuantian Tower, which is specially used by some young heroes to break through."
"If you can get through a hundred floors, you will be qualified to worship in Wuji Shrine. If you can get through two hundred floors, you will be qualified to become a core disciple of Wuji Shrine. I think I just got through two hundred floors. , I became a disciple of a great Luo Jinxian, and that’s how I got to where I am today.”
The guards of the Shrine are the face of Wuji Shrine, so they will naturally choose some disciples with good looks, good cultivation strength and potential to serve as them.
The palace guard responsible for entertaining is also considered to be one of the more outstanding ones. Not only does he look dignified, but he also has the strength of a true immortal. Although there is no hope of being a Daluo Golden Immortal in the future, he may be able to reach the middle and late stages of a true immortal. , can be regarded as the backbone of Wuji Palace.
He has done a lot of entertaining work like this in the past, so he is quite proficient in introducing various landmark buildings. From the origin of the building to the interesting things that happened in the past, it is not boring at all.
"Brother Yao." Wang Shouzhe was not very interested in these. He smiled at him and said directly, "Forget about these places. Take us to the market to have a look."
With Wang Shouzhe's identity and strength, he is naturally not interested in "low-level trial copies" such as Xuantian Tongtian Tower.
This kind of trial copy is for children in the family to play. He personally designed several similar trial copies.
"Market?"
The guard of the shrine named Yao was stunned and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
The two young masters and young ladies we entertained this time were both of extraordinary appearance and extraordinary temperament. They looked like they were descendants of nobles from big powers or families. How could they like to go to the market?
"That's right, it's best to go to the market where the most ordinary people in Xuantian City go." Wang Shouzhe's expression was warm, but his tone inadvertently revealed a tone that could not be criticized.
No wonder, he has been the clan leader for a long time, and there are not many family ancestors above him to check and balance. Over time, he naturally developed the demeanor of a superior person who is not angry but has no authority.
Before the mind of the palace guard could react, his body had already subconsciously taken the order: "I will lead all the gentlemen and ladies over right now."
After saying that, he immediately informed the chariot bearer to change direction and go to the market. He also pointed out that he was going to the largest market where ordinary Xuanwu monks often go.
Although Xuantian City is called a "city", its actual scope is extremely large, even more grand than Dongxia Luojing.
Even with the fairy bird flying chariot, it took a full hour to arrive at the [Western Suburbs Market] located on the edge of Xuantian City.
Here, it is already very far away from [Wuji Shrine].
Looking up from this position, the Wuji Palace suspended in the sky is like a full moon embedded in the sea of stars, exuding gleaming light.
In the central area of Xuantian City, even at night, the top of the head is shining brightly, just like daytime. Therefore, Xuantian City is also known as the "City That Never Sleeps."
The central area of Xuantian City is naturally the most prosperous area in Xuantian City. People coming and going are all nobles, young ladies from aristocratic families, or elite disciples of major forces. There are all kinds of luxurious chariots flying in the sky. Come and fly.
But here in the western suburbs, the environment is much more down-to-earth.
This is said to be a market, but it is actually a goods distribution place. There are large and small airships constantly docking in the Zhoukong Airport, handling various goods. The incoming goods will be transported to various warehouses and then flow into the market.
The reason Wang Shouzhe came to the market was naturally because he wanted to understand the most real side of the fairy world by exploring the market.
For example, examine prices, economy, the ecological environment of the middle and lower levels of society, the livelihood issues of ordinary people in the fairy world, etc.
This information is impossible to obtain from Master Yunhe or Goddess Xinglan. Their position is too lofty and not grounded at all. Even if you ask them these questions, they may not know.
No matter which world we are in, the middle class and the bottom class are always the largest class and the class that cannot be ignored.
Wang Shouzhe and the others quickly changed into ordinary clothes of ordinary texture. Even the palace guard surnamed Yao also changed into ordinary clothes at Wang Shouzhe's request and followed Wang Shouzhe like a follower.
In the eyes of the high-ranking bosses, he is just an ordinary guard, but in the eyes of ordinary people, a palace guard like him is already a towering big shot. If he doesn't change his clothes, he will wear The appearance of the uniforms of the palace guards here is bound to cause a sensation.
However, the fairy world is the fairy world.
After all, this Xuantian City is also the most important main city under the jurisdiction of Wuji Palace. Even the "general people" at the "lower level" have the cultivation level of Tianren Realm, and the "strong ones" in Zifu Realm also have They abound.
"Store, how do you sell this third-grade spiritual rice?" Wang Shouzhe walked into a rice shop at random, grabbed a handful of third-grade spiritual rice for display, looked at it, and smelled it.
The Wang family now also grows a large amount of third-grade spiritual rice, but they all plant the mother seed of spiritual rice.
The so-called Lingmi mother plant is the mother plant of grain seeds.
The seeds produced by planting mother seeds and then breeding them are grain seeds, and grain seeds are considered edible food crops only after they are planted again.
Planting and selling grain seeds can be regarded as an operation with high yield per mu and high returns. And planting Lingmi mother seed will naturally maximize the yield per mu.
Nowadays, the entire Holy Land cannot be said to be dominated by Wang's grains, but for now, Wang's grains of all grades have accounted for 30 to 40% of the total market in the entire Holy Land!
This alone established Wang as the cornerstone of the Holy Land Giant.
For this reason, when Wang Shouzhe came to the fairy world, his first concern was the spiritual rice here.
"Sir, the wholesale price of this fine third-grade [Bai Zhi Ling Rice] is '350,000' for one warehouse of fairy crystals, and the minimum price is 100 warehouses." A person who has reached the level of magical power The old man in charge said to Wang Shouzhe respectfully.
Fairy crystals are linked to spiritual stones, and one fairy crystal is equal to one low-grade spiritual stone.
It seems that the world of Shenwu uses "immortal crystal" as its currency, and its origin can be traced all the way back to the fairy world.
This is no wonder. The Immortal Alliance is the pioneering branch of the Immortal World, and the Sanctuary is the remnant of the Immortal Alliance. The Divine Martial World and the Sanctuary are also inextricably linked, and it is not unusual to use the same currency system.
And [one warehouse] is also a standard grain trading unit, which is approximately equivalent to one hundred tons or two hundred thousand catties. Shenwu World and Sanctuary also have such measurement units.
However, when Wang Shouzhe heard the price, he frowned slightly, feeling that the price was a bit outrageous.
The quality of this third-grade Baizhi Lingmi seems to be pretty good, but compared to one of the three-grade white rice that Wang currently recommends - [Purple Cream Lingmi No. 97], it is still half a step behind.
The current bulk transaction price of the Holy Land’s Purple Cream Spiritual Rice often fluctuates between “190,000 to 230,000” fairy crystals for a warehouse, and the fluctuation range is not very large.
The old man in charge of the supernatural power realm is also a person who is good at observing faces. He probably knows it when he sees Wang Shouzhe's expression.
He lowered his voice and continued: "Sir, the quality of the spiritual rice from our Chunqiu Rice Shop is the best in the western suburbs market, and the price is also the best. If your batch size is higher, for example, you can ask for three For five hundred warehouses, I can still give you some discounts."
This line of business is very popular, and it looks like he is a wealthy young man. This manager of the magical power realm also wants to facilitate a big deal.
Three hundred warehouses is a big deal worth over 100 million fairy crystals, which can be turned into a "fairy spirit stone".
"Who is most likely to eat these third-grade white fat rice?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually.
"This..." The expression of the old man in charge was stagnant.
Sentiments: This noble man is not here to do business, but to understand the sentiments of the people.
But even so, he did not dare to offend, and still said patiently and respectfully: "Master Qi, the main consumer groups of third-grade rice are monks in the Purple Mansion Realm, and some magical power realm monks who must live frugally for various reasons. . Of course, there are also monks with outstanding talents or wealthy families who will consume it for a long time when they are in the stage of heaven and human beings."
"Even some Lingtai-level children with strong family backgrounds and bloodlines will use third-grade rice to replenish their Qi and blood in large quantities, but the number of these groups is small."
"There is also the largest consumer group, which is the army. After all, most of the soldiers in the army are in the Heavenly Realm or the Purple Mansion Realm."
No wonder he is so cautious.
As a monk in the magical power realm, he is just an ordinary person in Xuantian City. If he accidentally offends some big shot, he will definitely be in trouble. If he wants to live a stable life, he must be cautious.
Wang Shouzhe nodded slightly.
It seems that even in the fairy world, second-grade and third-grade spiritual rice are mainstream spiritual rice in short supply, and the market prospects are good.
Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe asked carefully about the situation of other spiritual rice.
The old man in charge patiently answered everything one by one.
The shrine guard surnamed Yao who was following behind made Monk Zhanger confused.
What is the background of the young man invited back by His Highness Xinglan?
How can you not even understand basic commodity prices?
I guess he is of too high a background and has been cultivating and growing up in an ivory tower, so he is very interested in these "well-known" market intelligence.
In fact, how could he have expected that Wang Shouzhe, who looked elegant and divine, was actually a top Nongsang Grand Master.
Although Wang's various businesses are now flourishing and making a lot of money, what Wang Shouzhe values most from the beginning to the end is still the acres of spiritual fields and the bowls of spiritual rice.
To this day, he still remembers the taste of the white jade rice in his mouth when he first woke up from time travel.
The combination of Nong and Sang is the foundation for the Wang family to truly settle down.
After asking for half an hour and learning in detail about the market conditions of various grades of spiritual rice in the fairy world, Wang Shouzhe finally ended the topic.
"Thank you for answering my questions."
He nodded slightly to the old man in charge of the supernatural realm, gave a top-quality spiritual stone as a thank you gift, then turned around and drifted away.
Shou Zhe did not show too much "old-fashioned" politeness to the old man. After all, although the other man looked old, his actual age was probably fifteen or six hundred years old. And he, Wang Shouzhe, had passed his three thousand "birthday" not long ago!
In terms of pure age, Wang Shouzhe is his ancestor-level senior.
Looking at the other side, the old man in charge looked at the spirit stone in his hand, but his heart was pounding and he was stunned.
It wasn't until the person walked away that he woke up from a dream and excitedly saluted in the direction the person left: "I would like to thank you, Master, for your reward and support."
He met a noble person today.
Although the questions asked by this noble young master are complicated and detailed, they are all things that everyone knows. I can answer them casually, which means it just takes a while.
For such a small question, I actually rewarded you with a top-quality spiritual stone. This young man is too generous~!
With this top-quality spiritual stone, his family's financial crisis can be greatly alleviated, and the outstanding junior at home can be fully trained and grown, and may have the opportunity to become an outer disciple of Wuji Shrine.
It's a pity that I couldn't thank that young master properly just now. If I can see him again next time, I must thank him very much.
The old man in charge here was thinking a thousand times, but on the other hand, Wang Shouzhe didn't care at all about the top-quality spiritual stone he gave out casually, and continued to wander around the western suburbs market, feeling the most ordinary prices of materials from the fairy world.
"How to sell this sixth-grade Wuji elixir? One 13,000 immortal crystals? The minimum batch is 100 pieces? Can it be cheaper if you wholesale more than a thousand pieces? It's interesting~~" Wang Shouzhe is very interested in the sixth-grade Wuji elixir. .
I think he spent a lot of time and millions of dry gold, which is equivalent to about 30,000 to 40,000 immortal crystals, in order to capture a Wuji treasure pill.
The price of this Wuji Baodan is quite cheap, lower than the self-produced cost of Wang's Alchemy Headquarters.
"Huh? Why are cultivation and healing elixirs so expensive?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually about the prices of other elixirs, and suddenly he had new doubts.
However, this question has an immediate answer.
The palace guard surnamed Yao who was following him explained: "Young master, you should know that in the past hundreds of thousands of years, our wars with the demon world have become more and more frequent and intense. Affected by the war, most of the pills The prices of medicines, magic weapons and other weapons and equipment are also rising steadily."
"That's it."
While walking and chatting, Wang Shouzhe soon saw a strange scene on the other side of the market.
It was a labor market. There were a large number of Celestial Realm, Purple Mansion Realm, and even supernatural power monks sitting on the ground along the street, with a wooden sign erected in front of each person.
The wooden signs are all written with densely packed large characters in eye-catching handwriting.
"The spiritual planter at the peak of the Heavenly Realm is looking for a job. Short-term work will cost 200 immortal crystals a year. The price of long-term employment includes room and board."
"A Zifu realm alchemist who can skillfully refine third-grade elixirs (note: the rate of making one batch of elixirs is no less than six), please have a stable position, preferential prices for long-term employment, or adopt a guaranteed share model."
"If you cultivate your spiritual power and body, please support me, you can do heavy work, and you are not afraid of being dirty or tired."
"Excellent weapon refining team packages to apply for jobs, and has become proficient in forging Zifu treasures."
Talent, lots of talent!
Given Wang Shouzhe's state of mind, his eyes went straight when he saw this scene.
The streets here are filled with skilled workers from all walks of life, and the prices are ridiculously cheap!
For a moment, he even had the urge to pack up all these talents and send them to the world of Shenwu.
What a pity.
The current passage between the Shenwu World and the Immortal World is too "narrow". It can only transport a few people at a time, not to mention that there is a certain cool-down period, and the consumption is extremely high.
Before a large-scale space channel was established between the holy realm and the fairy world, Wang Shouzhe could only look back and sigh in the face of so many talents.
After asking about the situation as usual, he could only reluctantly leave this place full of talented people and continue to inspect other places.
Similar inspections continued for several days.
A few days later.
Wang Shouzhe finally finished his preliminary survey in the western suburbs market and returned to the guest house specially assigned to them by Wuji Shrine for the time being.
Although Wuji Shrine is poor, it is also poor compared to the size of the shrine. As the saying goes, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse." No matter how poor the current Wuji Palace is, it is still no worse than the Immortal Alliance back then. With its foundation there, it is still good at entertaining people.
In order to show her importance, Goddess Xinglan specially asked the disciples in the palace to allocate the guest courtyard for Wang Shouzhe and others to live. It is itself a very good courtyard in Wuji Palace.
You can tell at a glance that this courtyard has a long history. Although the bricks used to build the walls are of the best quality, they have also shown signs of time. However, this does not detract from its temperament at all. On the contrary, it adds a sense of historical depth.
High-level spiritual veins are buried in the courtyard, resulting in extremely abundant spiritual energy in the courtyard. Various spiritual plants and spiritual trees are also particularly vibrant. At a glance, they seem to have fairy charm flowing around them.
I don’t know if I am afraid of wasting such abundant spiritual energy in the courtyard. Not only are spiritual trees planted in this courtyard, spiritual fish are also raised in the spiritual pond and even a festive and auspicious nine-color fairy deer is raised, which looks very special. lively.
If you are an ordinary nobleman, you may not like such a lively environment, but Wang Shouzhe likes it quite a lot.
After coming back, Wang Shouzhe was not in a hurry to go back to the study. He chatted with a tree for a while, then fed the nine-color fairy deer, relaxed his mood, and then went back to the study to record this time. What I saw and heard during the inspection.
Judging from some existing data and intelligence, the Immortal Realm is in an unhealthy economic crisis, with prices soaring, but unemployment is very serious.
In addition, the overall economic situation of Xuantian City, which is under the jurisdiction of Wuji Palace, is relatively prosperous.
But why is Wuji Shrine’s financial situation so difficult?
Wang Shouzhe analyzed it in his mind and quickly came up with several speculations.
One of the most reliable speculations is that in order to preserve the inheritance passed down by the ancestors, Wuji Shrine has too many inheritance structures, too many personnel, and consumes a lot of money, resulting in it being unable to make ends meet.
And according to Wang Shouzhe's observation, the economic situation of Wuji Shrine is already very bad. Even the symbol of the shrine - the quasi-goddess Xinglan is looking shabby.
When the palace guard surnamed Yao received a "fairy spirit stone" from him as a reward, he was so excited that he almost called him daddy!
The entire shrine is poor, but you can tell the whole story at a glance.
While Wang Shouzhe was recording his thoughts in the study.
Goddess Xinglan, who he had labeled "shabby", was pacing back and forth at the door of Wang Shouzhe's guest courtyard, with a somewhat hesitant look on her face.
She could feel that Mr. Shouzhe was a rich man, and not an ordinary rich man. He should be able to solve the crisis for her.
However, she didn't know how to speak.
After all, this is a family matter of Wuji Shrine. Although Mr. Shouzhe was born in the Immortal Alliance and has a direct relationship with Wuji Shrine, he is still a "relative" separated by a room, and the two parties have not known each other for a long time. The relationship is not that close.
If you ask him rashly to borrow such a large sum of money, what if Mr. Shouzhe refuses directly?
If he makes some very excessive demands, such as this, this, that, etc., how should she deal with it?
Do you agree? Or should I be reserved and agree?
"Your Highness the Goddess."
Just when Goddess Xinglan was sometimes sad, sometimes shy, and sometimes blushing, and full of hesitation, a nine-color fairy deer appeared at the door of the courtyard and said to her: "Master Shouzhe invites you to go. After talking about it in the study, I told him not to continue sneaking around his door."
Sneaky?
Bah!
Goddess Xinglan blushed again and couldn't help but secretly spit in her heart, but she still followed the Nine Colored Immortal Deer to Shouzhe's study.
Suddenly, she took a quick look and noticed something strange about the Nine-Colored Immortal Deer: "Little deer, what are you chewing in your mouth?"
"The Fairy Gummy given by Mr. Shouzhe." The Nine-Colored Fairy Deer grinned and chewed it happily, "It is said to be a syrup made from a variety of fairy rice and tempered with various fairy fruits. It tastes delicious. The young master is rich and gentle. I am already thinking about whether I should transform into a beautiful girl tonight to repay the favor to the young master..."
Before the Nine Colored Immortal Deer could finish speaking, the black-faced goddess Xinglan grabbed her by the neck and threw her away.
The Nine-Colored Immortal Deer turned into a rainbow with a swish and disappeared into the distant Milky Way.
Soon.
Goddess Xinglan arrived at the door of Wang Shouzhe's study.
She felt nervous and shy: "Xinglan wants to see the young master."
