Are you addicted to fairy? Just give it a try!

After sending Jiang Shun away, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh: "Now even if you work in the sect, it's not safe."

"Special times call for extraordinary measures."

Xiao Yunshan sneered: "In normal times, Yunshang Sect treats us casual cultivators quite well, at least they don't impose taxes on us casual investors.

I have traveled in Qi State before, and the market there wants to strip your pants clean, and casual cultivators are taxed for everything they do.

And it's messy.

A small market has been divided into several forces, fighting each other happily, and the sect disciples responsible for managing the market don't care at all."

Zhang Wei asked: "What happened later?"

Xiao Yunshan spat "Of course it's gone. With that environment, who would want to suffer there unless they are cheap?

However, it is said that after the market was destroyed, the sect that controlled the market sold the spiritual vein to a new foundation-building family as a clan land.

That family is quite capable. Relying on the spiritual vein to plant some spiritual plants, it quickly turned losses into profits and provided a lot of resources to the sect every year.

It's just pitiful for us casual cultivators. It's not easy to find a place to practice peacefully.

Now it's good. The original spiritual vein has become someone else's private property. If you want to continue to get spiritual energy, you have to look at the face of the foundation-building family."

Xiao Yunshan said with a sigh, and Zhang Wei curled his lips.

This operation is a bit familiar.

At this time, Zhang Wei's nose moved and asked, "Why is it a bit burnt?"

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Xiaoling was frightened and shouted, "Ah! My beef!"

After that, she ran into the kitchen without stopping, opened a stew pot and quickly added water to it. He secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, I found it early, otherwise my whole pot of beef would be spoiled."

Zhang Wei asked: "Are you having beef for lunch today?"

"That's not lunch."

Xiao Yunshan explained: "Xiaoling made the Bigu Pill."

"Oh, Bigu Pill... huh?"

Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Wei felt something was wrong and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

If you want to make pills, just make pills, why did you make a pot of beef stew!

Zhang Wei asked Qin Xiaoling: "Refine the Bigu Pill... Then why do you stew beef?"

Qin Xiaoling said as a matter of course: "I can stew pork and chicken, but I won't do such a thing to ruin my reputation in business. The materials I choose are of the best quality!"

Qin Xiaoling opened the "refrigerator" and said proudly: "Look, the beef must be fresh, the flour must be refined white flour, the salt must be snow salt, and the oil must not be re-fried oil! I even added sugar!"

"The Bigu Pills refined with these materials have a mellow taste and strong medicinal power. It's not too much to ask them for one or two spirit stones and three pieces?"

"No... not too much..."

Looking at Qin Xiaoling's righteous look, Zhang Wei accepted the reality.

No wonder he felt a mouthful of beef after eating the Bigu Pills from Qin Xiaoling. It turns out that there is beef in it!

Zhang Wei felt that he had countless complaints to complain about. He thought that his weapon refining was down-to-earth enough, but he didn't expect that there were masters!

At this time, Zhang Wei saw Qin Xiaoling carefully scooping out some white granules from a bag and adding them to the pot, so he asked: "Is this sugar expensive?"

Qin Xiaoling explained: "Malt sugar is not expensive, but white sugar is expensive. Now this pound of white sugar cannot be bought without three or two spirit stones.

But if I'm lucky, this bag of white sugar is enough for me to refine hundreds of fasting pills, so it's acceptable.

Other materials, such as refined noodles and beef, have become more and more expensive recently. Alas... It seems that the mortal world has not had a good time recently."

Qin Xiaoling sighed, not knowing that Zhang Wei was in a brainstorming session at this time.

"Meat, flour, fat, salt and sugar... Aren't these just protein, carbohydrates and fat? Aren't all the energy substances needed by the human body complete?

I heard from Fellow Daoist Qin that beef is not needed, chicken and pork are fine, so can I continue to lower the standards?

For example... wriggle wriggle wriggle..."

Seeing Qin Xiaoling's method of refining the Bigu Pill, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think of the famous mealworm biscuits in his previous life.

The protein content is very high, six times that of beef!

Fellow Daoist Qin can use beef to refine Bigu Pills, so it's not too much for Zhang Wei to use mealworms instead? Maybe the Bigu Pills refined by then will be even more effective!

As for giving that thing to fellow Daoists, isn't it too unscrupulous?

Come on, Master Zhang has made money from business, what conscience do he need?

At worst...at worst, the Bigu Pills sold to fellow Daoists will be cheaper.

The reason why Zhang Wei thought of this was mainly for the Zhang family.

If the Zhang family wants to become a family of immortal cultivators, they must have an industry that can gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation as a foundation.

After all, spiritual veins are hard to find now. Without spiritual veins, spiritual plants cannot be planted and spiritual materials cannot be mined. If the Zhang family wants to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation in the future, they can only find ways in other ways.

Immortal cultivators are also human beings, and they also have to consider the four items of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Clothing cannot be considered for the time being. Now the weaving industry in Yunguo is in the hands of several large families in the south. The other party has a background of immortal cultivators. If they enter the market rashly, they will probably die ugly.

Housing is not considered. Most of the casual cultivators rely on spiritual veins for their lives. Without spiritual veins, the Zhang family cannot intervene in the real estate of the world of immortal cultivation.

If it works, Zhang Wei's Moyun Shuttle is a flagship product, but he alone cannot support this business.

So Zhang Wei can only work hard on food.

Don't underestimate food, food is the most important thing for people, and so are the immortal cultivators.

Even when it comes to foundation building, monks can theoretically rely on their own strength to live without food, and it will not affect the foundation building master's ability to take spiritual food, which can not only satisfy the appetite but also increase his cultivation level.

Even the dishes cooked by some high-level spiritual chefs can help monks recuperate their bodies and eliminate accumulated toxins in the body if taken for a long time, which is more effective than some elixirs.

Therefore, most foundation-building families in the world of immortality now use spiritual plants as their family foundation.

But Zhang Wei set his sights on this humble Bigu Pill.

There is no other reason, there is no spiritual vein.

Although Bigu Pill is only one of the most basic elixirs in the world of immortality, the more basic it is, the more it requires.

Most immortal cultivators and even ordinary warriors will prepare some Bigu Pills for emergencies when walking in the mortal world. Bigu Pills can even be used to raise livestock as food for monsters. In short, they have a wide audience.

If the Zhang family can win the favor of the monks with its high-quality and low-priced Mealworm Bigu Pill, even if it cannot make as much money as other immortal cultivating families, it should not be a big problem to take root in the world of immortal cultivating.

After all, his raw materials are much cheaper than beef! And he also has the technology to make cheap sugar.

Even if the elixir cannot be refined, mealworm biscuits can still be sold at a profit, and they can be used as feed for livestock!

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei looked at Qin Xiaoling with a heated gaze.

Should we recruit fellow Daoist Qin and serve as their chief technical engineer for the Zhang family?

Just when Zhang Wei was thinking about the feasibility, Xiao Ke stood next to him and asked strangely: "Uncle Xiaofan, why are you looking at my mother all the time?"

"Eh?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had not looked back because he had been thinking.

Qin Xiaoling laughed, but Xiao Yunshan next to her looked a little dark.

"Ahem..."

Zhang Wei quickly coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment and explained: "Sorry, sorry, I was thinking about weapon refining just now. Please forgive me for offending Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Then he turned to look out the window and said, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Fellow Daoist Xiao and Daoist Qin, please don't send me away!"

After saying that, Zhang Wei left Xiao Yunshan's home as if running away.

After Zhang Wei left, Qin Xiaoling puffed up her chest proudly and said, "It seems that my charm is still the same as before!"

"snort……"

Xiao Yunshan next to him snorted, causing Qin Xiaoling to poke her husband's cheek and said, "Hey, what's wrong? Is the jealous person in our family jealous?"

"Humph, you dare to make fun of me?" Xiao Yunshan stood up, picked up Qin Xiaoling from the waist, and said while walking towards the bedroom: "Today, I will let my husband behave in a good way!"

Before entering the house, Qin Xiaoling said to her son with a sweet smile: "Ke'er, don't run out, and don't come in to disturb mother and father talking about important things. Go do your homework by yourself."

Xiao Ke nodded obediently and watched the bedroom door close tightly. He knew that his parents were going to play wrestling game again.

Zhang Wei, who didn't know that Xiao Yunshan's family was already under fire, first went to Yunshanglou, spent money to buy a copy of the alchemist's inheritance, and then planned to go home and experiment with this alchemy method.

However, as soon as Izuyun went upstairs, he saw a middle-aged man walking up to him with his hands raised in greeting before he had even taken two steps: "May I ask if it's Master Zhang Xiaofan who is here in person?"

Zhang Wei raised his head and looked at the other person. After carefully looking at the other person's face twice, he confirmed that he did not recognize the other person. He asked: "Are you..."

The middle-aged man introduced himself: "I am Shan Guangxue, the shopkeeper of Luo's Store. The shop hopes to do some business with you, master. I wonder if master is free?"

"Luo Chamber of Commerce?"

Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows and quickly recalled the information about this chamber of commerce in his mind.

The level of the Rock Chamber of Commerce in Izumobo City is completely inferior to those shops with the background of the Foundation Building Family, but its background is very special.

Luo family, the royal family of Yun Kingdom.

It can be said that the Luo Chamber of Commerce is the liaison station for the Yun Kingdom royal family in the world of immortality.

As for the reason why they came to find him, Zhang Wei also had some guesses.

He raised his chin and said calmly: "Lead the way."

Shan Guangxue immediately expressed his gratitude with joy and said: "Thank you Master Zhang for the compliment, please!"

Shan Guangxue took Zhang Wei all the way to Zuixianlou, and then ordered a private room. After the dishes were served, he complimented Zhang Wei in every possible way. The toasts of three glasses and two glasses made Zhang Wei feel like he could go back to his previous life to discuss business. It feels like sitting in a wine shop.

Zhang Wei interrupted the other party's flattery and said bluntly: "The Luo family is behind the Luo Chamber of Commerce, right? You invited me here, both for spiritual food and spiritual wine. What do you want to do? Just tell me."

Shan Guangxue put down his wine glass and said humbly: "Master Zhang, the thing is like this, we heard that you can refine flying magic weapons, so we took the liberty of disturbing you and hoped that you could open a furnace to refine weapons for the two enshrined masters of our Yun Kingdom. !”

As expected.

Zhang Wei chuckled and said: "The flying magic weapon is not cheap."

"Money is not an issue. Our Luo Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay 20,000 taels of grain silver to ask the master to open a furnace and refine two pieces!" Shan Guangxue said proudly, holding out two fingers.

Twenty thousand taels of grained silver, that is, two thousand taels of spirit stones. Zhang Wei's normal price for selling Moyunsuo is only 800 taels of spirit stones. It can be said that Shan Guangxue is very sincere.

"Twenty thousand taels, worthy of being the royal family of the Yun Kingdom, I am willing to give it up." Zhang Wei sighed.

"Then Master..."

Shan Guangxue's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he thought there was a way!

However, Zhang Wei's next sentence made him feel cold.

"Not enough."

Zhang Wei still remembered that the two priests exchanged his wolf demon corpse for a piece of torn paper!

Zhang Wei snorted: "The situation in Yunmengze is a bit serious now. A year later, the Longmen tide will sweep across the East China Sea. I don't need to say more about the purpose of your two priests wanting this Moyun Shuttle, right?

By then, not only your Luo family, but also several other foundation-building families, and even the disciples of Yunshang Sect will come to ask me to refine flying magic weapons to prepare for the Longmen tide.

If I refine it for you, I have to postpone these people's commissions. Don't you think this will make me offend people?"

Although Zhang Wei said it was difficult, Shan Guangxue understood his subtext.

It costs more money!

So Shan Guangxue gritted his teeth and said, "Then my Luo's Chamber of Commerce will add another 5,000 taels!"

However, Zhang Wei still shook his head. Shan Guangxue immediately cried poor with a bitter face: "Master... our Luo's Chamber of Commerce is a small business, and we really can't take out more."

Zhang Wei sneered: "Yun State has 36 counties and a territory of thousands of miles. Every year, it can collect millions of taels of silver just by collecting taxes. How can it not even take out tens of thousands of taels?

I don't want too much. Make it a whole, 30,000 taels!

And you pay 10,000 taels of silver as a deposit first."

"Ah?"

Shan Guangxue rubbed his teeth when he heard the number of 30,000 taels.

What Zhang Wei said was right. Yun State can collect millions of taels of tax revenue every year, but a considerable part of it has to be paid to Yunshang Sect and the four foundation-building families in the country.

You have to consider the remaining money, the military pay, the official salaries, and the maintenance and construction of various large-scale projects. Money is needed everywhere, and it will pass through the hands of officials at all levels. Is this money a lot?

Not much!

When it comes to their worship house, the money is even less. Thirty thousand taels of silver is even enough for one-fifth of their worship house's fiscal allocation this year.

But Shan Guangxue gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He agreed: "Okay!"

At most, he will suffer a little loss this time and make less money. Let's solve the problems of the chief worshiper and the second worshiper first. When the money is not enough, he will go to the old emperor for it!

When the people from Luo's Chamber of Commerce sent the deposit of 500 taels of gold, Zhang Wei hugged the gold in his arms without hesitation.

Then he told Shan Guangxue that he would send two Moyun shuttles to Luo's Chamber of Commerce in two months and left Zuixianlou directly.

This time he didn't even go to Yundu, but went back to Luyang City directly to discuss the matter of raising mealworms with his brother Zhang Xiong.

When Zhang Xiong heard that Zhang Wei was going to use this thing to make pills, his expression was so wonderful. His face was very embarrassed.

"My Zhang family has been passed down from generation to generation by farming and studying. How can we raise... raise such disgusting things?"

However, when he learned that this might be the foundation for the Zhang family to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation in the future, Zhang Xiong's attitude took another 180-degree turn.

"As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? In order to let the immortals in the world of immortal cultivation use the cheap and high-quality fasting pills, my Zhang family has no choice but to do it!" Zhang Xiong said, patting his chest.

As for conscience?

It's funny, there is none at all.

If Zhang Wei hadn't asked not to be too excessive and to ensure the quality and hygiene of mealworms, Zhang Xiong would even want to deduct some money from the mealworms. Anyway, as long as it is hidden well enough, who knows what is sent to your mouth?

In this way, Zhang Wei stayed in his hometown for a month, during which time he guided the construction of Zhang's mealworm cultivation workshop and helped to refine the equipment for cultivating mealworms.

After ensuring that everything was on track, Zhang Wei took the two Moyun shuttles he refined along the way and flew back to Chuyunfang City, intending to deliver them to Shan Guangxue.

After a month, the lost spiritual essence of heaven and earth in Chuyun Beichang has not been found, but this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the scattered cultivators and the determination of Yunshang Sect to retrieve the lost items.

Even as time goes by, more and more scattered cultivators gather in the thousand-mile Yunmengze, and the situation becomes more and more chaotic.

On this way, Zhang Wei saw no less than ten large and small fights only one-third of the way to Chuyunfang City.

However, relying on the Moyun Shuttle, Zhang Wei does not have to worry about being targeted by this group of robbery cultivators.

However, on the way to Chuyunfang City, Zhang Wei suddenly felt his mind move, and followed his feeling to look at a water area in the distance.

The spiritual mark he left on the Zhenjin Hammer was erased!

You must know that he temporarily lent the Zhenjin Hammer to Jiang Shun, so the spiritual mark on it was not completely erased. Jiang Shun just covered it with his own spiritual mark for temporary use.

And now that his spiritual mark has been erased, it means that Jiang Shun is in danger! Even his Zhenjin Hammer was taken away by his opponent!

Without thinking, Zhang Wei controlled the Moyun Shuttle to fly towards the place where the spiritual consciousness last disappeared, intending to rescue Jiang Shun.

After flying for only a dozen miles, Zhang Wei saw several figures running in the water below. The figure in front who was being chased and covered in blood was Jiang Shun!

The three figures behind were all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, two men and one woman, and one of them was holding his Zhenjin Hammer!

Seeing this, Zhang Wei raised his hand and a second-level spiritual talisman was used to show respect. After activating it, he smashed it at the three people chasing below.

Boom!

A scorching heat came, and the faces of Lu Bin and the other two who were happily chasing Jiang Shun suddenly changed. They looked up and saw a fireball with a diameter of ten feet falling from the sky, smashing straight towards them.

"Second-level spiritual talisman, meteorite meteor!"

Lu Bin screamed, then immediately gritted his teeth and took out a half-damaged jade token from his arms, and activated it with a look of heartache.

Boom———

Instantly, the lake water below Lu Bin and the other two surged, turning into a water curtain to protect Lu Bin and the other two tightly, and actually blocked Zhang Wei's meteorite talisman.

But at the same time, the damage marks on the jade token in Lu Bin's hand became more and more.

"Huh?"

Zhang Wei frowned, not expecting that the other party actually had a damaged second-level magic weapon, no wonder he could chase Jiang Shun so badly.

"Why do you interfere, fellow Daoist? This is a personal grudge. Please leave!" After blocking Zhang Wei's talisman, Lu Bin shouted immediately, but secretly sent a message to his two companions, asking them to use their best skills to suppress this unknown person.

But what he waited for was not an answer, but a green knife light!

Second-level talisman, sandalwood magic knife!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this knife light, Lu Bin and the other two were shocked. Lu Bin continued to activate the Lingshui card in his hand without thinking.

The surging lake water surged up and turned into a water dragon roaring towards the sandalwood magic knife. However, this time, the sandalwood magic knife relied on the theory of the five elements' mutual restraint, sacrificed half of its energy to split the water dragon, and then continued to chop at Lu Bin and the other two without decreasing its momentum.

At this moment, the monk holding the Zhenjin hammer made a move. He threw the Zhenjin hammer violently, and then performed a spell. The Zhenjin hammer actually became several times larger in the air and collided with the sandalwood knife.

Then there was a clang, and the Zhenjin hammer opened a big hole, but the remaining power of the sandalwood knife was also forcibly dispersed.

Good guy, use my magic weapon to block my talisman!

Just when Zhang Wei wanted to continue throwing the talisman, Jiang Shun, who was running for his life below, also looked up at the sky. After finding that it was Zhang Wei, he shouted in surprise: "Xiao Fan!"

Then he seemed to think of something and shouted: "Don't fight! Go! Let's get out of here quickly!"

"They know each other!"

Lu Bin and the other two looked at each other, and their faces were very ugly when they saw the Moyun Shuttle under Zhang Wei's feet. They had finally destroyed Jiang Shun's Moyun Shuttle before, in order to prevent him from flying into the air and escaping with the Moyun Shuttle.

If Zhang Wei used the Moyun Shuttle to take Jiang Shun away, they would not be able to catch up even if they tried their best.

Lu Bin gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "My fellow Taoist, this man has a spiritual essence of heaven and earth!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wei and Jiang Shun's faces changed immediately.
