……
(ps: In the previous chapter, the interest rate of 1,000 and 60,000 yuan was wrong, changed to 1,000 and 6,000 yuan.)
After a while.
The Ancestor Jiyan and the Son of God Mingzhe seemed to have come to their senses and began to think about this matter seriously.
"Xinglan~"
Ancestor Ji Yan’s attitude gradually became serious, and he muttered: “I did a little calculation, and the current price of 100 million warehouses of third-grade spiritual rice is about 4,000 chaos spiritual stones, which is equivalent to three or four hundred years of your Wuji Palace. Is the production ready? When did you stock up so much spiritual rice?"
If it was just a sale of one or two hundred Chaos Spiritual Stones, Ancestor Ji Yan would naturally make the decision without saying anything.
But the amount of this order is really too large.
Ancestor Jiyan had to brace himself to avoid making mistakes.
"In fact, our Wuji Palace only has 1.6 million hectares of third-grade spiritual fields, and the annual output is only 200,000 warehouses! Without food, drink and loss, it will take five hundred years to save 100 million warehouses."
Goddess Xinglan did not deceive him, she told him the truth directly.
"The current total price of these two grains is 7,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones. They are futures orders pledged from other transactions between me and the Divine Treasure Palace!"
At this time, Goddess Xinglan took out the futures contract she had made with the Divine Treasure Palace. Afraid that Ancestor Jiyan might not understand, she explained the meaning of futures orders very thoughtfully.
Ancestor Ji Yan and Shenzi Mingzhe are both smart and flexible people. Under her explanation, they immediately understood the principle and value of this futures contract.
If they spend 7,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones to take over this futures contract now, they will be able to withdraw one million warehouses of third-grade spiritual rice and one hundred thousand warehouses of fourth-grade spiritual rice from the Divine Treasure Palace every year in the future, or the current price. The Chaos Spiritual Stones will not be collected until a hundred years later.
According to the current continuous rise in food prices, this deal is undoubtedly an extremely cost-effective one. But if food prices plummet in the next hundred years, they may lose money.
However, with the current situation, will food prices fall?
After a brief calculation in his mind, Ancestor Ji Yan couldn’t help but shake his head secretly. The possibility of food prices falling in the short term is extremely low.
As far as their Nanming Temple is concerned, as the third Immortal Emperor Tribulation continues to approach, the Emperor's desire for war has become more and more intense. Now the Nanming Temple has actually secretly entered a state of war preparation, and has begun to make plans. Stockpile food with purpose.
In addition, the war zones controlled by big forces such as Wuyue Temple and Ziwei Temple are also fighting fiercely now. Their own food production cannot keep up with consumption, and the demand for food is also very strong.
No matter which angle you think about it, there is only one result. Not only will the price of food not fall in the past century, it will definitely increase a lot!
If his Ancestor Ji Yan really wins this futures contract, he will definitely make a profit without losing any money. The only question is how much can he make?
If it can increase by 30%, it will be a huge profit!
"Xinglan, you have to think carefully." Ancestor Qi Yan said with a smile, "Our Nanming Temple is bullish on the future price of food. If you sell this futures in advance, you will feel that you will lose money in the future. Don’t blame us.”
"If we weren't really short of money, why would we sell this futures?" Goddess Xinglan also sighed helplessly, looking like she was very distressed and reluctant to part with it.
But soon, she changed the topic and continued: "However, the market has always been unpredictable, and no one dares to say that his judgment will be accurate."
"It's impossible to say, the price of food will plummet a lot in the next hundred years. Just in case, I mean just in case. If Ancestor Ji Yan makes a loss, don't blame us."
"Hahaha~" Ancestor Ji Yan laughed boldly, "How can you make a profit without losing money in a business? I still understand the principle of 'buy a deal and walk away, and you will be responsible for your profits and losses'."
"Besides, our Nanming Temple has to stock up on food for a long time. Xinglan, your large futures order is a timely rain."
"However, seven thousand Chaos Spirit Stones is not a small amount. I can only give you our Nanming Temple's own Chaos Spirit Stone tickets."
Major temples and shrines often issue their own spirit stone tickets for the convenience of transactions. Those who have spirit stone tickets can go to the branch of the corresponding force at any time to exchange for the corresponding spirit stones.
And this is also a privilege that only the major forces standing at the top of the pyramid in the fairy world have.
The more financially powerful the power is, the better the credibility and circulation of the spirit stone tickets it issues.
The Nanming Temple itself has a solid foundation and strong financial resources. The Lingshi Tickets it issues have a good reputation and are recognized throughout the fairy world.
Wuji Shrine used to be eligible to issue spirit stone tickets.
However, with the fall of Emperor Wuji, the Lingshi Tickets of Wuji Palace were run on. At that time, in order to maintain its credibility, Wuji Palace had to sell many assets to redeem the Lingshi Tickets.
In this way, although a large amount of assets were lost, the reputation of Wuji Palace was maintained.
But in today's Wuji Palace, it is difficult to issue spirit stone tickets. A force without an Immortal Emperor is not qualified to issue spirit stone tickets!
"The circulation of the spirit stone tickets in your temple is very good, so there is no problem." Goddess Xinglan accepted it happily, "In that case, we will sign a contract."
Although it is said that the catastrophe of the Nanming Immortal Emperor is coming, this "coming" will at least be "coming" for nearly ten thousand years. Looking at the appearance of the Nanming Temple, there should be no problem with the normal inheritance of the Son of God. The credibility of Shi Piao will most likely not be affected.
Taking a step back, Goddess Xinglan can also use the spirit stone tickets and exchange them for some fixed assets.
Then.
It comes naturally.
In a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, Ancestor Jiyan and Goddess Xinglan signed a transfer agreement for bulk grain futures.
At this point, this transaction has come to a perfect conclusion.
In this very short period of time, the available funds on hand of Goddess Xinglan have reached tens of thousands of Chaos Spiritual Stones!
Everything went extremely smoothly.
Of course, even if Ancestor Ji Yan is unwilling to take over the futures contract, it is not a big problem for Goddess Xinglan. There are other ways to deal with it.
According to Mr. Shouzhe's plan, as long as the futures are split into 10,000 or more shares, with the general trend of rising grain prices, it will naturally be easy to sell them, but it will take some time. .
In fact, if it had not been for meeting Mr. Shouzhe, even Goddess Xinglan herself would never have believed that food prices would fall!
There is no airtight wall in this world.
Goddess Xinglan’s plan went smoothly. On the other hand, under the “inadvertent” propaganda of Elder Baohu, Goddess Xinglan’s series of “super prodigal” and “faint” operations were just like those of Chang It spread quickly like wings.
For a while.
All kinds of rumors about the goddess Xinglan seizing power and ruining the family are noisy in the world.
There are even rumors that Goddess Xinglan was dissatisfied with Master's attempt to marry her to the Son of God Mingzhe, so she began to frantically sell off the palace's assets and prepared to run away with the money.
There is also a handsome and extraordinary young man with mysterious origins who plans to elope with her.
There are also rumors that the mysterious young master is the manipulator behind the goddess Xinglan. His purpose is to persuade the goddess to sell off the palace's assets, and then kick the goddess away after collecting the money.
These rumors spread so quickly and to such a wide range, so naturally Elder Baohu secretly added fuel to the flames.
His purpose is also quite clear, which is to completely solidify this series of mortgages, gambling and other contracts, so as to prevent Taoist Master Chenguang from causing trouble later and causing many twists and turns.
After all, although Wuji Shrine has declined and is notoriously poor, the inheritance foundation of the shrine is still there. The inheritance lineup of dozens of Taoist-level elders, more than a thousand Daluo, and 30,000 true immortals is no joke. of.
Even though the Divine Treasure Palace is very powerful and is not afraid of the Wuji Palace, there is really no need to ask for trouble.
Various rumors were rampant outside the palace. Many elders in the Wuji Palace were not closed-minded and listened to the news. Naturally, they all received the news one after another.
At this time, some of the elders of the shrine could not sit still and strongly advocated convening a joint meeting, preparing to ask Master Chenguang and Goddess Xinglan what the rumors were about.
The main hall of Wuji Shrine.
As the most important building of Wuji Shrine, this main hall not only covers a large area, but also has a majestic and majestic appearance.
The main hall is located in the center of the entire Wuji Shrine. It is not only the venue for many high-level meetings, but also the formation hub of the entire Wuji Shrine.
Strictly speaking, the Wuji Shrine high above the sky is not just a simple building. It is an extremely powerful secret treasure in itself. It can be used as a Taoist boat when necessary. Not only It has strong defensive capabilities and even some offensive abilities.
The Wuji Divine Palace was once the most powerful force among the thirty-three heavens in the immortal world. Naturally, there was definitely more than one "divine palace" like this that stood high in the sky.
It is said that this "divine palace" was once just one of the many palaces of Wuji Shrine. The last group of people from Wuji Shrine used to escape in this palace and saved Wuji Shrine. The last lifeline.
Now, after so many years, the entire shrine has basically maintained its original appearance under careful maintenance, with just a touch of vicissitudes left by the years.
At this moment.
In the main hall of the shrine.
A high-level meeting of the shrine, attended by Taoist elders and some powerful Da Luo Jinxian, began.
According to the rules.
The temporary palace master, Goddess Xinglan, sat on the main seat of the main hall majestically.
Her expression was calm as usual, as if she had anticipated this scene.
This time, her master, Taoist Master Chenguang, sat one position to the left of the main seat, that is, the position of the Supreme Elder!
In the main hall, there are two positions for the Supreme Elder, one is located at the first position on the left and right hand of the main seat.
What it represents is the authority second only to the acting palace master in Wuji Palace.
At this moment, sitting opposite Taoist Master Chenguang, was an old man who was thin but energetic.
The old man’s name is [Master Tianshu].
Dao Master Tianshu was once a quasi-god when he was young. He once ranked at the top of the Shenying Ranking for a long time and was also a leader of the younger generation who was famous all over the world.
Now, many thousands of years have passed, and like Taoist Master Chenguang, he has reached the level of Taoist peak and half-step Immortal Emperor.
In fact, Master Tianshu was not the only one who was born as a quasi-goddess or quasi-goddess.
Among the thirty-odd Hunyuan Realm Taoist masters or powerful men of the same level currently in the Wuji Shrine, three are all quasi-gods and quasi-goddesses.
They are of different ages, genders, and even have different cultivation directions, but you can tell by looking at their auras that, without exception, they have all reached the middle to late stage of Taoism, and they look pretty good. Considered young.
No wonder. Taoist Master Chenguang has been in charge of the temple for a hundred thousand years. How could there not be a quasi-godson or quasi-goddess during this period?
It’s just that although the acting palace master Chenguang Taoist Master has a reputation as a prodigal, he actually worked very hard for the palace. Overall, he did a pretty good job, so his status is relatively stable, and some subsequent quasi-gods and quasi-goddesses have not had their turn. The position of the previous palace lord.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the subsequent powerful quasi-gods and quasi-goddess are unwilling to take over the thankless position of acting palace master and clean up the mess for the shrine.
After all, power and responsibility are always one and the same.
Taking over the position of acting palace lord will inevitably allocate a lot of time and energy to deal with various complicated and trivial matters in the shrine. From external commercial trade to the internal affairs of the shrine, the workload is very huge and terrifying, and consumes His mental strength is also very huge, and his daily practice time will definitely be severely squeezed.
There is no way. Although the territory of Wuji Palace has shrunk a lot compared to its heyday, it is still very large, almost several times the territory of the current Holy Domain.
It can be said that the position of the current palace master of Wuji Palace has not many benefits, but also a lot of troubles. It is probably only a quasi-goddess like Xinglan Goddess who has an extra sense of responsibility who rushes to take over.
And today.
In addition to Taoist Master Chenguang, Taoist Tianshu, and several former quasi-divine sons and quasi-goddesses, other Taoist-level elders from Wuji Shrine also gathered together in a rare gathering. Even those who were too far away had no time to come. A projection was also sent to participate in the meeting.
A total of thirty or so Hunyuan Realm Taoist masters sat in a circle, and almost all of them had very serious expressions on their faces.
A solemn atmosphere filled the air.
No one took the initiative to speak.
After a while, a white-haired child-like face with a fairy-like temperament appeared, but the elder who was lower in the ranking finally couldn't hold himself back, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, don't you have anything to explain to us?"
Goddess Xinglan glanced at him casually and said in a calm tone: "It turns out to be [Elder Yigeng], what do you want this palace master to explain?"
Elder Yigeng’s expression froze, and he obviously did not expect that Goddess Xinglan would react this way.
However, he quickly reacted and began to output in an obviously excited tone: "There are rumors from the outside world that Her Majesty the Goddess mortgaged the remaining twenty-three ninth-grade spiritual vein land deed coefficients of the Shrine and signed a contract with the Divine Treasure Palace. What a gambling agreement!"
"For such a big matter, Xinglan, you made your own decision without even discussing it!"
"Is it possible that you are really preparing to make money and run away as rumored?"
Faced with Elder Yigeng’s questioning, Goddess Xinglan didn’t even raise her eyelids. She waved her hands and said, “Business opportunities are fleeting. If Elder Yigeng doesn’t understand things in the business world, then stop worrying about it. ”
Elder Yigeng felt a lump in his throat and almost vomited blood from anger.
He never expected that Goddess Xinglan would be so impatient with him and yet so confident. Shouldn't she feel ashamed?
Seeing this, another female Taoist elder could not stand it anymore and stood up and said: "What are you saying, Your Highness the Goddess? Although your Chenguang lineage is in charge of the shrine, this shrine is not your family's shrine. ! Faced with the foolish decision made by the acting palace master, don’t we even have the right to question it?”
"Foolish decision-making?" Goddess Xinglan looked at her with a half-smile, "Elder Cangyu, you seem to know a lot about management and business? Come on, come on, I'll let you take the seat of this palace master. Let's see. Let’s see if you have any clever strategies to break the decline of the palace!”
As she spoke, she took out the [Wuji Divine Seal] and patted it in front.
In an instant, bright golden light bloomed from the Wuji Divine Seal, turning into a majestic divine power that filled the air and enveloped the entire hall in an instant.
The Wuji Divine Seal is a symbol of the authority of the Wuji Palace.
Seeing the divine seal is like seeing the Immortal Emperor.
Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious and solemn. Even Elder Cangyu, who was about to retort, subconsciously closed his mouth, stood up and bowed obediently.
That's right, Goddess Xinglan holds the Wuji Divine Seal. Now, nominally and legally, she is in charge of the palace on behalf of the Immortal Emperor, so her status is naturally different from that of ordinary goddesses.
This place is temporarily calmed down.
As for what Goddess Xinglan said about Elder Cangyu taking the position of acting palace master, Elder Cangyu selectively forgot about it at this moment.
If you have opinions, you have opinions. If you accuse her face to face, you should accuse her face to face. She would not dare to ask her to accept the Wuji Divine Seal.
"Ahem~"
Dao Master Chenguang coughed lowly, breaking the silent atmosphere in the palace: "Everyone, Xinglan is now the acting palace master. If you have any questions, ask them carefully. Don't just listen to a few rumors and get angry. Weird and strange."
"I believe that everything Xinglan does is for the good of the palace."
After saying that, his eyes sharpened, and the coercive aura of a peak Hunyuan Realm powerhouse suddenly swept out.
He showed his majesty and swept the audience!
As a master, Taoist Master Chenguang naturally wants to support his disciple at this critical moment.
But he said he believed it, but in his heart he was miserable.
He has received much more intelligence and news than the other elders. Therefore, his mentality at the moment is far more uneasy and uneasy than these elders.
He couldn't figure it out at all, what were the operations of Xinglan's beloved disciple?
Everyone said that Chen Guang was a prodigal palace master, but compared to Xinglan, he really didn't count.
However, no matter how much uncertainty he felt in his heart, he did not show it at all.
Seeing that he had completely calmed the situation, he looked at Goddess Xinglan, and the expression on his face became kind: "But Xinglan, everyone present is the elder of our palace, and they are all Your elders. If you have any good ideas, you might as well share them with everyone, so that the elders can feel more at ease."
"Master, the rise of the Divine Palace is not just a dinner party, business competition is as dangerous as the battlefield! Do I have to leak business secrets in order to make people feel at ease?" Goddess Xinglan said coldly, "Master , do you know that you have been in charge of the shrine for a hundred thousand years, and you have worked hard and devoted yourself to it, so why can you only try to keep the shrine from falling?"
Uh...
Dao Master Chenguang was embarrassed for a while.
This precious disciple is now strong-willed and powerful. Today he even didn’t even give his master face.
"Let me read the financial income and expenditure~" Goddess Xinglan was obviously prepared. She took out a form as she spoke and said with a stern expression, "In the past 100 years, our temple's financial affairs have been The total expenditure reached 20,461 Chaos Spiritual Stones."
"The total expenditure for all personnel reached 15,291 Chaos Spiritual Stones."
"The administrative expenses and miscellaneous expenses of the palace forces are 913 Chaos Spiritual Stones."
"The loan interest payment reached 210 Chaos Spiritual Stones!"
"..."
As the expenses were read out one by one, the expressions of the elders changed one after another.
Although they knew that the temple was expensive in the past, they only had a vague idea and did not know the specific situation at all.
Is it true that the expenses of the shrine are so huge?
Especially the personnel expenses, the amount is too huge~~
While all the Taoist masters were stunned, Goddess Xinglan had already finished reading the various expenses and started reading the income list again.
In the past hundred years, Wuji Palace’s total income has reached 19,239 Chaos Spiritual Stones, with a net loss of more than 1,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones!
However, in the past year, Taoist Master Chenguang has miraculously turned a profit. Although there was only one Chaos Spiritual Stone left at the end of the year, it was still a good start.
Dao Master Chen Guang has been in charge of the shrine for so many years, but it is rare that he can make a profit. For a while, he felt a little proud.
Goddess Xinglan gave the order directly: "Elder Yi Geng listens to the order."
Elder Yi Geng looked slightly surprised, but he still responded honestly.
He at least admitted that it was really hard for Cheng Guang to act as Palace Master.
"Your Yigeng lineage is good at metal mineral smelting. I want you to organize and lead all your disciples from now on to purchase raw materials of various grades of immortal gold spirit iron, as well as various grades of raw ore veins!" Goddess Xinglan said sternly.
"Your Highness the Goddess, although I am a little disrespectful to you in my words, but you should not give it to me on the spot..." Elder Yigeng's expression changed, he was both ashamed and angry.
This goddess has a really bad temper and will avenge her on the spot.
Even if you give him small shoes, can't you do it every once in a while?
Goddess Xinglan glanced at him, knowing that he had misunderstood, but she did not explain, and directly threw out a jade slip that recorded information.
"This is a list of items that need to be purchased."
Then, she took out a thick stack of spirit stone tickets.
"You can take as much as you want, but it should be more than 10,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones! When this batch of money is used up, I will send someone to give it to you again!"
What? ! !
Elder Yigeng stupidly took the spirit stone tickets, counted them subconsciously, and found that there were twenty of them!
These are large-denomination spirit stone tickets worth 100 Chaos Spirit Stones each. Twenty of them means a full 2,000 Chaos Spirit Stones!
He was immediately stunned.
In his entire life, he has never seen so many spirit stone tickets at one time.
＊＊＊＊＊＊
While Goddess Xinglan was trying her best to turn the tide at the high-level meeting within the palace, she was working hard to improve the situation.
Inside Luming Courtyard.
Under the shade of the trees, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Anye's grandson and grandson were playing chess.
The situation on the chessboard is naturally that Wang Shouzhe is in a great position, while Wang Anye can only "struggling hard" to support it.
Not long after, Wang Anye could no longer hold on and was defeated.
He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face and said in admiration: "My great-grandfather's chess game is majestic and meticulous, and Anye is ashamed of himself."
Wang Shouzhe smiled indifferently, waved his hand, and did not want to talk more about chess skills: "Elder Zishuang has already contacted the Immortal Formation Alliance for us. In the past two days, you, Elder Zishuang and Elder Zhantian will go to visit each other. Meet the seniors of the Immortal Formation Alliance."
"Yes, great grandfather."
Wang Anye agreed honestly.
He has been close to his elders since he was a child. He has done this task countless times since he was a child, and he has become very proficient in this kind of task of negotiating with unfamiliar seniors, even if this time he is facing an array master from the Hunyuan realm. , he didn’t feel much either.
As he skillfully picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one, he hesitated for a moment, and finally had the courage to ask: "Grandpa, you have worked so hard to help Goddess Xinglan control the palace. Is it possible?" , you really want to add another one to me..."
Wang Shouzhe's face darkened and he glared at Anye angrily: "Don't listen to Xiaolu's nonsense."
However, Wang Shouzhe did not say anything harsh to his favorite great-grandson.
He pondered for a moment, then simply explained: "In the entire Immortal World, the Wuji Shrine is the most deeply involved with our Holy Domain. There is a natural sense of closeness, and it is the best way for us to integrate into the Immortal World. Helping them means helping ourselves. ."
"Besides, don't underestimate Wuji Shrine just because they are financially strapped. After all, Wuji Shrine is the most powerful force in the immortal world. If they have to support too many people, how can they be poor? Is it like this now?"
"There are over a thousand Daluo and thirty thousand true immortals. This is a powerful force that cannot be ignored."
Wang Shouzhe never expected that Wuji Palace could still maintain such a large number of powerful people.
You must know that in the entire Holy Realm, the total number of Da Luo Saints currently registered is only 617, and the number of True Immortal Realm and the number of powerful people with the same combat power currently registered is only 18,489!
All the masters from the Holy Realm combined are still no match for the decayed Wuji Palace!
Under such circumstances, what right do they have to look down on Wuji Shrine?
However, Wang Shouzhe is confident that with the current talent pool and resource reserves of Sanctuary, as long as Sanctuary is given a certain amount of time to develop, the number of top experts will inevitably explode.
It is only a matter of time before we surpass Wuji Shrine.
Wang Shouzhe was full of confidence and felt that he had explained the problem clearly.
Wang Anye looked at his great-grandfather with a slightly complicated expression.
As if he had made up his mind, he nodded heavily: "Grandpa, I understand your good intentions and exquisite layout. Don't worry, Anye will definitely be on your side this time."
"?" Wang Shouzhe was stunned.
Wang Anye didn't say anything more. He picked up the last chess piece into the chess basket, stood up and said goodbye to Wang Shouzhe, and then left gracefully.
At the same time, he also made up his mind that even if his great-grandmother beat him to death, he would never betray his great-grandfather.
He firmly supports his great-great-grandfather's "Plan to Raise an Empress."
It is useless to think too much. It is better to contact the formation masters of the Immortal Formation Alliance first. Maybe they can become a master again and contribute to the family.
Although the number of masters is increasing, Wang Anye is a little troubled.
But great grandfather can sacrifice for the family.
Why can't he, Wang Anye, sacrifice himself?
