Chapter 261 – Returning to Liang, Planning for Alchemy
Obviously, all four of them were somewhat moved by Yao Fang’s words.
After all, fourth-order spirit veins were rare.
It was not easy for the three of them to come across it, and with this opportunity, it was obvious that none of them wanted to give it up easily.
However, they themselves knew that wanting to just get a fourth-order spirit vein for nothing was obviously not a very realistic thing.
Sure enough.
Just then, he heard Yao Fang Fang continue to speak, “Even though I just said that, the value of a fourth rank spirit vein is something that I think the two Fellow Daoists of the Feng Clan, as well as Fellow Daoist Broken and Fellow Daoist Ge, should all be very clear about.
If you want to truly obtain the ownership of this spirit vein, I’m afraid that you’ll still have to give us a certain amount of compensation to the several families present.”
As these words fell, the four of them, Feng Zhinan, Feng Zhixuan, Broken Blade, and Ge Yunlin, immediately glanced at each other.
Then, they heard Feng Zhinan say, “Fellow Daoist Yao, and all of you, this matter is of great importance, so can you allow us to discuss it for a while?”
In response, Yao Fang and the people present had no objection.
Soon after, the two brothers of the Feng Clan, as well as Broken Blade and Ge Yunlin, they immediately stepped aside and began to discuss the matter.
Some time later.
The four returned to the crowd.
Only to hear Feng Zhinan say, ”Everyone, we have just discussed this fourth rank spirit vein, and we intend to use it as a basis to establish a top tier three workshop.
At that time, fifty percent of the profits from the annual proceeds of this workshop market, we can hand it over to you all, I wonder what you think?”
Generally speaking, the annual revenue of such a third-grade workshop that was based on a fourth-grade spirit vein would be at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
If it was 50% of the profits, then there would be at least a hundred thousand or so spirit stones per year.
Apportioned to the heads of their six families, each year, at least at least, can get 20,000 spirit stones for nothing.
And this is still a long term gain.
There was no need for them to do anything either.
Properly sit back and wait for their share of the money.
Jiang Chengxuan and the ten of them agreed to Feng Zhinan’s proposal after a brief discussion.
Of course.
Nowadays, the strength of their six families is not equal, this 50% of the profit, naturally, it is not possible to directly use the equal share, but according to the strength of each of their six families, to divide the 50% of the profit.
Bishui Sword Pavilion and Tian Yue Sect were the strongest.
Therefore, they can get 20% of this 50% profit.
The remaining 30% would be split equally between Jiang Chengxuan and the three Cloud Kingdom families.
The Qian Yang Sect had a slightly larger share.
Jiang Chengxuan, as well as the two Northern Cloud Starlight Sect, split the remaining share completely equally.
But even so, the share of spirit stones that could reach their Jiang family every year could be about a small 20,000 spirit stones.
If it was managed well, the amount would be even higher.
Next, Jiang Chengxuan’s group of ten people stayed in Yan for another period of time.
When they were sure that the cultivators of Zheng Shu’s two countries had really returned to Zheng Shu’s two countries, Jiang Chengxuan and his party were not prepared to continue to stay in Yan country.
However, due to the current overall strength of Yan country is relatively weak, finally Yao party stayed behind, responsible for temporarily helping to sit in the town for a period of time.
During this period, the three Jindan forces in Yan, naturally, will not be able to give Yao Fang the benefits he deserves.
A few days later.
Jiang Chengxuan returned to Liang with Hou Dongbai and the others.
At this time, no matter Jiang Chengxuan, or Hou Dongbai, or other Jindan, they are clear in their hearts, after this incident, between the five countries, want to break out again similar to the previous scale of the Jindan war, obviously is unlikely.
Unless there were any special circumstances, the scale of the war would definitely be limited to below Jindan.
Otherwise, if there were a few more times like before, no matter if it was the Zheng-Shu alliance or Jiang Chengxuan’s Tri-State alliance, it would definitely be too much for them.
Although in the middle of this, Zheng Shu two countries in the hearts of a few dead people will inevitably be a little reluctant.
But the big picture is so, even if not willing that also have no way.
What’s more, cultivators cultivation, fight for a moment of anger that does not have any meaning.
Everyone is a long life generation, want to revenge, the next day there are plenty of opportunities, there is no need to have to focus on the immediate, so that their own will also be in danger.
That is not good enough.
This side of Jiang Chengxuan just returned to the Jiang family, he then informed Shen Ruyan.
Afterward, he called in the Jiang Family’s three Purple Mansions, as well as the Shen Family’s three Purple Mansions.
After all of them had arrived at the Jiang family’s council hall, Jiang Chengxuan immediately told everyone about his trip.
After hearing this, everyone was quite surprised in their hearts.
Obviously they didn’t expect that this time, on the side of their three countries, they had actually killed four Jindan from Zheng Shu and the other two countries.
This was definitely something that had been counted as a wounding for Zheng Shu and the two countries.
It was no wonder that in recent times, at the intersection of the Hundred River Mountain Range, the cultivators of Zheng Shu and the two countries were contracting their defenses.
It was thought that it should be related to this matter.
“Taking over, we, Jindan cultivators, shouldn’t be able to casually strike again.”
At that moment, he heard Jiang Chengxuan continue:
“I’m afraid that the battles in the future are going to rely on Qi Refining and Foundation Building, as well as you Violet Mansion cultivators.
Before I came back, I had already conferred with the Bishui Sword Pavilion and the Taoist friends of the Tian Yue Sect.
Moving forward, each of our families will have to draw at least four or more Purple Mansions, thirty Foundation Builders, and hundreds of Qi Refiners.
Including the Purple Mansion clans and families under their umbrella, all of them must also put out at least one or two Purple Mansions, as well as a corresponding number of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.”
When the words were heard, Jiang Renyi, Shen Yuanlong, and the others present, their expressions couldn’t help but all become a bit gloomy for a moment.
They knew that the ensuing war, I’m afraid, would be the war that truly belonged to them all.
“In this matter, count me in as an old man.”
Suddenly, Shen Yuanlong took the lead in stating his position.
Hearing his words, Shen Daoming beside him was instantly startled.
But before he could speak, Xu Qianhe, who was on the other side, already smiled and took over:
“Since old brother Shen is willing to fight, how can I be missing from this?
Count me in as well.”
Seeing that there were already two people on the Shen Family side who had taken the initiative to state their position, on the Jiang Family side, Jiang Renyi and Jiang Rendao were naturally not willing to show any weakness, and they all spoke up to ask for battle.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan glanced at each other.
The couple finally decided after a little deliberation.
On their Jiang family side, Jiang Rendao and Liu Linglong would fight.
On the Shen family’s side, Shen Yuanlong and Xu Qianhe would fight.
Among the four, other than Liu Linglong, the other three were all people who had experienced many great battles.
However, in comparison, Shen Yuanlong, regardless of cultivation or experience, was one step ahead of Jiang Rendao and Xu Qianhe.
Therefore, this time, the person in charge of leading the team was not Shen Yuanlong.
After determining the Zifu candidates for the battle, the remaining Qi Refining candidates, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan naturally will not ask.
At this time, they are from their own body, took out some protective treasure, and gave it to Shen Yuanlong and their four people.
When the couple returned to Xuan Ming Peak, Jiang Chengxuan took out the Flying Yellow Grass and handed it to Shen Ruyan:
“Ruyan, take a look, can you and I utilize this Flying Yellow Grass to refine a furnace of Huang Ming Dan?”
Receiving the Flying Yellow Grass from Jiang Chengxuan’s hands, Shen Ruyan looked at it carefully and then replied:
“Refining the Yellow Brightness Pill requires a variety of spirit medicines of the fourth rank or higher, and I’m afraid that just relying on this Fei Huang Grass alone won’t be enough.
Fortunately for us, there are still so many corresponding auxiliary spirit medicines.
The only thing that’s missing is the Ying Mu Vine, a fourth rank auxiliary spirit.”
“Welcome Wood Vine?”
Jiang Chengxuan thought about it and then said:
“Then I’ll ask Pavilion Master Hou and Daoist Wen and the others to see if they have this spirit item in their hands.
If they do, let’s see if we can exchange it with the materials from that Bloodstriped Eagle King.”
As soon as he thought of it, he did it.
Soon, Jiang Chengxuan sent a message to Hou Dongbai as well as Wen Shujun and the others.
Receiving Jiang Chengxuan’s message, Hou Dongbai and Wen Shujun and the others also quickly gave their replies.
It was a pity that there was no Ying Mu Vine spirit item in their hands today.
However, Tian Yue Sect’s Wen Shujun had given Jiang Chengxuan a message.
As far as she knew, Daoist Hai Zhen, who was located in the Hai Broken Valley, seemed to have that kind of spirit item in his hands.
However, if he wanted to exchange it for the Wood Welcoming Vine from Daoist Hai Zhen, I’m afraid the price he would have to pay would not be small.
At least if he wanted to exchange a fourth-rank lower-grade spirit item for the Wood Welcoming Vine, it would be unlikely.
In response, Jiang Chengxuan said that he was already aware of this, and also thanked Wen Shujun for providing him with this information.
“Well?”
Seeing Jiang Chengxuan put away the summoning jade talisman, Shen Ruyan, who was located on the side, immediately asked out loud.
Jiang Chengxuan shook his head.
“They don’t have it on their side, but Daoist Wen gave me a message that Daoist Hai Zhen from the Sea Break Valley should have this item.
I intend to personally head to the Sea Break Valley and look for Daoist Hai Zhen to see if I can exchange it for that Welcoming Wood Vine from his hands.”
“Then I’ll go with you.”
Only to hear Shen Ruyan say, “Between us and that Hai Zhen Daoist, we are not very familiar with each other, so if we go together, we can more or less take care of each other.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t refuse.
Soon the couple was together, out of Tai Xuan Mountain.
One day later.
The couple arrived at the Sea Break Valley.
This place was precisely the dojo of that Hai Zhen Daoist.
As soon as the two arrived here, they sent out a transmission towards the front.
Not a moment later, a daoist in a daoist robe appeared.
This person was none other than Daoist Hai Zhen.
When he saw Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, he immediately cupped his fists politely and said:
“So it’s the two Daoist friends Jiang Shen, I don’t know if the two of you have come to my Hai Broken Valley this time, is there something you want?”
Upon hearing this, the Jiang Chengxuan duo didn’t speak nonsense.
He only heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “I heard from Fairy Ice that you, Fellow Daoist Hai Zhen, have a fourth-ranked Welcoming Wood Vine here.
It just so happens that my husband and wife are in need of this spiritual item now, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Hai Zhen would be able to part with it?”
“Hm?”
Suddenly hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Daoist Friend Hai Zhen’s face was clearly surprised.
However, he quickly reacted and couldn’t help but say with a faint smile:
“So it was Fellow Daoist Wen who introduced you guys.
Truth be told, nowadays I do have that one Welcoming Wood Vine in my hands.
If you guys really want it, it’s not like I can’t give it to you, but you need to exchange it with a fourth-ranked demonic dan.
I’ve heard that the two of you, Jiang Shen, have been to the Cloud Country before and have cooperated with the three clans of the Cloud Country to recapture the Ten Thousand Winds Forest.
I guess in your hands nowadays, you should have this thing called a fourth rank demonic pills, right?”
“Hm?”
Suddenly hearing Daoist Hai Zhen’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces couldn’t help but both change slightly.
This fellow really dared to say it.
Exchanging a fourth-ranked demonic pill for a welcoming wood vine, how dare he open his mouth.
The value of the two is simply not at the same level.
Jiang Chengxuan was seen shaking his head decisively.
“Fellow Daoist Hai Zhen don’t joke with my couple.
I think you should know very well what the value of a fourth rank demonic pill is.
Just with your one Welcoming Wood Vine alone, I’m afraid there’s no way to exchange it for a Fourth Order Demon Pill, Dao Friend Hai Zhen has better change the terms.”
Hai Zhen Daoist obviously knew that he himself had just opened his mouth a little too big, but he obviously didn’t want to give up the Fourth Order Demon Pill so quickly, and after thinking about it he couldn’t help but say again:
“If you two feel that a welcoming wood vine is not enough, I can also add spirit stones, how much is negotiable, you two might as well think about it again how?”
“No need to consider it.”
Jiang Chengxuan decisively refused.
With their cultivation at their level, ordinary spirit stones were actually no longer of much use to them.
Unless it was a top-grade spirit stone.
But Daoist Hai Zhen, he obviously wouldn’t have something like that in his hands.
Even if he did have it, he probably wouldn’t be willing to exchange it for them.
Adding to that, the other party’s behavior of just asking for a lion’s share of the money was already drawing Jiang Chengxuan’s dislike.
So he wouldn’t be very courteous at this point, and directly took out some of the materials about that Bloodstained Eagle King’s body from within his storage ring.
Such as sharp claws, eagle retches, feathers, bones, flesh and blood, and so on.
Seeing these things, a glimmer of light clearly flashed in Daoist Hai Zhen’s eyes.
He also seemed to have realized that what he had just done was already causing the Jiang Chengxuan couple to have some resentment.
So this would be the time when he would no longer mention the matter of the fourth-rank demon pills, but instead reached out and pointed at the pair of sharp claws of that Bloodstriped Eagle King, and opened his mouth:
“Let’s use this pair of sharp claws of the fourth rank to exchange for the welcoming wood vine.
How about it?”
Jiang Chengxuan glanced at it briefly, then nodded and said:
“It’s fine, but you’ll have to add another thirty thousand spirit stones to make it work.”
Obviously, this pair of Bloodstained Eagle King’s sharp claws was still worth more than that Welcome Wood Vine.
In response, Daoist Hai Zhen did not say anything else this time.
He took out a green rattan with countless textures on its surface from his own body and ordered 30,000 spirit stones before handing it over to Jiang Chengxuan.
Receiving what Daoist Hai Zhen handed over, Jiang Chengxuan also pushed the pair of Bloodstained Eagle King’s sharp claws to Daoist Hai Zhen.
When the two sides reached a deal, he heard Daoist Hai Zhen laugh:
“It’s rare for you two to come to my place, why don’t you follow me inside for a cup of tea?”
However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan shook their heads.
Only to hear Jiang Chengxuan say, “Fellow Daoist Hai Zhen’s good intentions, our couple heartily accepts.
We still have very important things to do on our hands next, so I’m afraid we can’t stay long this time, let’s wait until we have the chance to talk about it later.”
Upon hearing this, there was clearly some disappointment on Daoist Hai Zhen’s face.
However, after Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan clasped their fists and saluted him, the two of them really didn’t stay long, and they all drove up the recluse light to return towards the direction of Mount Taixuan.
