Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 37 Dongjun County City, a profitable market
"In this case, I will trouble Fairy Xu."

Jiang Sheng thought for a moment and then agreed.

"Dao Zhang Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. Originally, I came to Qingshan County because of Qing'er's entrustment. Now that the matter has been settled, I naturally want to return to the sect."

"Dongjun County City happens to be on our way, no need to worry about it." Xu Xiao said with a smile.

Jiang Sheng took out a green talisman depicting a cloud from his storage bag and sent it to Xu Xiao: "No matter what, Fairy Xu helped Pindao. Now Pindao doesn't have anything valuable in his hands. There is a green talisman to express gratitude."

Xu Xiao accepted the green talisman and said with a smile: "In this case, it would be disrespectful to refuse. There are still some unresolved matters in Qingshan County. Chief Jiang will come to the county to find me in three days."

After agreeing on a date, Jiang Sheng sent Xu Xiao to the mountain gate again. After watching Xu Xiao leave, he turned around and returned to the Taoist temple.

"Ming'an."

When Tian Ming'an heard Jiang Sheng calling him, he quickly stopped what he was doing and came over: "Master."

"In three days, I will go to the county town for my master. You should take good care of the Taoist temple and don't let other people disturb the purity of the Taoist temple." Jiang Sheng said.

Tian Mingan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Master, please rest assured, my disciple must be optimistic about the Taoist temple."

Seeing Tian Ming'an's confident look, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but chuckle: "Ah, you haven't introduced Qi into your body yet, and your martial arts skills are not as good as those of ordinary people. You are second-rate to the sky. How do you have the confidence to be optimistic about Taoism?"

Tian Mingan said: "Disciple is naturally incompetent, but this Taoist temple is your master's dojo. Does anyone in Qingshan County dare to take advantage of your dojo?"

"You're quite clever. Go ahead and do your homework." Jiang Sheng waved his hand, and Tian Ming'an obediently withdrew.

Walking to the back hall, Jiang Sheng looked around and said: "Now we still lack the alchemy furnace and some elixirs for alchemy. Not only do we need to refine the Tiger Bone-Building Yuan Dan, but we also need to refine a batch of Yuan-Juning Dan." Cultivation, this attack is really a loss."

"If I hadn't harvested a set of formations, I'm afraid I would have lost all my money in slaying demons this time.

You must inquire clearly about such matters in the future. It is too easy to lose money by taking action without calculating the other party's worth. "

In fact, whether it is slaying demons or exploring caves of ancestors, the effort and reward are always out of proportion.

No one can guarantee that the cave must be a legacy rather than a trap, and no one can guarantee that a notorious evil demon will have a large fortune.

Before many monks die, they will set up various traps in their caves to kill those who come after them, and most of the time monks basically carry their wealth with them.

Many times, after spending countless efforts to open a cave, it may turn out to be a mere empty shell.

Therefore, when casual cultivators explore ancient caves and search for resources, they basically open 28 or even 19, with only a 10% chance of not losing money.

Jiang Sheng now truly understands how difficult it is to practice casually.

Since coming to Qingping Mountain, there have been three official attacks. In the end, only the initial tiger demon contributed a foundation-building demon body to Jiang Sheng.

There was nothing left on the Eight Wolves of Dongjun, and all their wealth was used to build the magical weapon. In the end, the magical weapon was destroyed by Jiang Sheng.

As for the River God, let alone the big demon in the Purple Mansion Realm, the cave is so empty that rats can run away, and it seems that all the resources are used to maintain the evil formation.

If Zhang Qingyun hadn't given him a set of third-level formations and a batch of red fruits as gifts, Jiang Sheng might have been damaged.

And this also strengthened Jiang Sheng's idea of ​​going out less often.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Sheng asked Tian Ming'an to go down the mountain to celebrate the New Year with his family. Looking at the fireworks in the sky outside the mountain, Jiang Sheng didn't feel much in his heart.

He didn't have much time to spare. In addition to his daily practice, he also had to draw an additional batch of talismans to sell. Jiang Sheng needed to hoard a batch of resources.

When the time comes, Jiang Sheng will be ready to devote himself to cultivation and not care about foreign affairs. When will he open the Purple Palace between the eyebrows, and when will he talk about other things.

The first day of the new year was the time agreed between Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao, so Jiang Sheng called Tian Ming'an.

After explaining, he handed the three talismans to Tian Ming'an: "This is the second-level water arrow talisman drawn for the master. If someone comes to attack, use this talisman to deal with him; this is the Xuanshui talisman. If the person who comes is too strong, , you use this talisman to save your life; this is the Baili Escape Talisman, after you use the Xuanshui Talisman to protect you, you can use this talisman to escape, and wait for my master to come back."

"Disciple understands." Tian Ming'an carefully put away the three talismans close to his body.

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, and then flew towards Qingshan County.

At noon, Jiang Sheng arrived at the county seat.

The county town was also filled with lanterns at this time. There were lanterns and peach and bamboo trees everywhere, and they were filled with joy, which dispersed the panic and sadness caused by the river god's rampage before.

Xu Xiao was whispering to Zhang Qing. After the two girls finished chatting, Xu Xiao and Jiang Sheng left together.

Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao discussed it, and they dressed up again and changed their names.

Jiang Sheng took off his Taoist robe and put on a flowing white robe, with a brocade belt around his waist, and the Taoist bun on his head was replaced by a jade hairpin. Coupled with Jiang Sheng's face like a crown jade, his temperament was like a troubled world. A handsome young man.

Xu Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw him: "Young Master Yuan Chen has such a brilliant temperament, I'm afraid the ladies from the aristocratic families in East County will be fascinated by him."

Jiang Sheng just smiled and didn't say much. It's not far from Qingshan County to Dongjun County, it only takes about three days.

Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao didn't stop much along the way. When they arrived at Dongjun County, it happened to be noon on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Dongjun County is much larger than Qingshan County, with towering city walls and some obscure magic formations engraved on them.

In addition to the few gates guarded by ordinary soldiers, there are also several monks in the early stages of Qi training guarding a tall city gate.

Xu Xiao explained: "Those soldiers guard the gates through which mortals enter the city. Traffickers and ordinary merchants and travelers use those gates. And those Qi-training monks guard the city gates for practitioners to pass through. The gate; the practicing families in the city basically use this gate."

The county seat of Dongjun is no better than Qingshan County. The county seat has a population of over one million, and there are countless streets and lanes in the city. The gentry, wealthy businessmen, common people, and traders each have their own streets, and the monks and aristocratic families have their own streets. Specialized streets for living.

Although monks and mortals coexist in the county and city, they are still distinct.

When Xu Xiao and Jiang Sheng flew to the city gate, the Qi-training monks guarding the city gate had already greeted them respectfully.

Those who can fly through the air and stay in mid-air for a long time must be foundation-building monks.

Not to mention that the two men who came here are handsome and handsome, and the woman has a fairy-like appearance. These fairy looks are extraordinary at first glance, and the two of them are so young. It is impossible to tell which noble family or which clan they belong to. The true story of the door.

"Two foundation-building seniors, please." The leader, an old man who only had the third level of Qi training, accompanied with a smile, nodded and invited Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao to enter the city.

Entering the county town, you can see the bustling streets, bustling markets, numerous shops, merchants and traders everywhere, and busy traffic everywhere.

At the time of the New Year, the county town was particularly lively.

Xu Xiao led Jiang Sheng along the main road in the city, and soon they arrived at the Xiuxianfang City in the county city.

Obviously, this market was specially designed for the convenience of monks entering and exiting. It was very close to the place where the monks lived. Guarding the door of the market were two monks who were in the middle stage of Qi training.

The two monks were wearing the same clothes, with the word "search" painted on their hearts.

Xu Xiao introduced: "This market is actually jointly opened by the Cha family and various foundation-building families in the county. The Cha family occupies half, and the remaining foundation-building families occupy half."

"And those who guard Fang City are not only Qi-training monks like the Cha family, but also foundation-building monks from various foundation-building families in the East County and the Cha family will take turns guarding Fang City."

"According to the rules, when entering the market, one person has two spiritual stones. If you sell something in the market, the market will charge an additional 20% of the spiritual stones. It doesn't look cheap, but there are Dongjun family and others who buy and sell in the market. Chajia guarantees that its credibility is still reliable.”

Jiang Sheng sensed the aura in Fang City. A large number of the auras were in the Qi-training realm and fluctuated very sharply. However, there were two auras that were particularly obvious. They were among the most conspicuous tall buildings in Fang City. They were two A monk in the early stages of foundation building.

That was obviously the foundation for the Dongjun Family to guard Fang City.

Xu Xiao and Jiang Sheng arrived at the gate of Fangshi. Xu Xiao paid four spiritual stones, and the guarding Qi Practitioner took out two tokens and handed them to Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao gave a token to Jiang Sheng: "This is the voucher for entry and exit. Get the voucher when you go in and hand it in when you go out. Be sure to keep it."

Jiang Sheng took the voucher, looked at the finger-sized token in his hand, and said with a smile: "This city is really careful."

"There is no room for sloppiness. Master Yuan Chen, does he know how much profit this market can provide to the Dongjun family every year?" Xu Xiao said with a smile.

Jiang Sheng thought for a while and shook his head: "Although the specific number cannot be guessed accurately, it must be an astonishing number."

Xu Xiao said: "Each monk's entry and exit costs two spirit stones, not to mention that shops have to pay money every year, and casual cultivators have to pay 20% tax for setting up stalls. How much money does this city provide to the Dongjun family every year? One hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones!
This figure really surprised Jiang Sheng. With the income of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones a year, each family would earn a lot of money after dividing the profits.

"These aristocratic families control the market. After collecting spiritual stones, they go to the state capital to purchase foundation-building pills and various magic weapon pills to maintain their families. Therefore, they have foundation-building monks in every generation."

"And it goes without saying that the Cha family invests a large amount of spiritual stones in elixirs and magic weapons every year." Xu Xiao continued to introduce.

Jiang Sheng nodded. These aristocratic families have a large population, and the amount of cultivation resources they provide to their clan members every year is not a small amount.

Not to mention having to maintain foundation-building monks in each generation, and all kinds of magic weapons and elixirs in the foundation-building period are consumed, so it looks like you’re making a lot of money, but in fact you don’t have much left over.

The real money makers in Qingzhou are the three sects at the top.

After all, most of the resources for building the foundation pills and opening up the Zi Mansion are controlled by each of them. These families seem to make a lot of money every year, but most of them have to flow into the hands of the three major sects.

Over time, the resources in the hands of the three major sects are absolutely amazing!
