Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Jiang Xinquan said: "Junior Brother Tang can give me an answer at any time when he has thought about it. If I say something unpleasant, Junior Brother Tang will not dislike hearing it."

"Actually, even if our team does not provide him with the elixir, he can still easily obtain the elixir based on his connections, such as the Xuanye Sect stationed in our pavilion, as well as the Chamber of Commerce and the local spiritual family. This is not unusual. thing."

"Of course, compared to them, the first choice is our own spiritual herbs. After all, brothers and sisters from the same sect can be assured and a win-win situation, don't you think so!"

Tangning sneered inwardly. How could other forces obtain these elixirs at such a low price?

"What Senior Brother Jiang said is reasonable, but I have never been exposed to these things before. Let me think about this for a few days. By the way, Senior Brother Jiang, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Junior Brother Tang, if you have any questions, just ask."

"What percentage of the profit do you make in this shop?"

Jiang Xinquan stretched out four fingers.

"Forty percent? How much income is there every year?"

"It's business! There are losses and profits, there are stagnations and prosperity. I really can't say the exact amount. On average, it's only 20 to 30 million per year."

"Then how much of the main medicine we provide for refining Gubendan and Xiaoyang Pill every year?"

"Excluding those supplied to the sect and the teams at all levels in Qingwu Camp, there are probably about one or two thousand beads left!"

Tang Ning silently calculated in her mind that each portion of the main medicine could be used to refine approximately ten pills.

Two thousand beads, that is, 20,000 elixirs. Counting the losses caused by failure, it is estimated that there should be no problem in successfully refining 15,000 elixirs.

The market price of 15,000 Strengthening Pills is 60 million spirit stones.

The market price of 15,000 Xiaoyang Pills is 120 million spirit stones. After excluding the auxiliary medicine and alchemist's salary, including some miscellaneous expenses, 100 million per year should be a good profit.

If you take 40%, you can't afford 40 million spiritual stones.

"Senior Brother Jiang, you are both a partner of the store and the supplier of the main drug. Why do you only take 40% of the profit?"

"To tell you the truth, when I opened the alchemy hall and shop, including recruiting people, I took a total of 25,000 high-grade spiritual stones to join the team, and the other party took 75,000 high-grade spiritual stones, so my income only accounted for the profit. 25%, plus 15% of the income from providing the main drug, so it only accounts for 40%.”

"Why don't you bring out more?"

"If you want to take more, you have to be willing to accept it. We all know who is behind Xie Xuan. Can he allow you to take the big part and him take the small part? When you came to me, we had already discussed it No matter how much I originally invested, I can only account for 2.5% of the income at most. Including the elixir provided, the total cannot exceed 40%. "

"Is this 40% obtained by one person alone?"

"Elixir is an asset of the team, and it doesn't belong to one person. Usually I will give half of the profit to all the disciples."

"Senior Brother Jiang, there is one thing I don't understand. Your term of office has not yet expired, why did you take the initiative to resign? Is it convenient to disclose it?"

Jiang Xinquan smiled and said: "I have actually thought a lot about resigning. How should I put it? Everyone has his own ambitions! At my age, half of my body is buried in the soil. Besides, there is no hope for the road. It is impossible to continue to stay in this position. Not very interesting."

"If you want to talk about greedy spiritual stone salary, I have saved a lot over the years, which is enough for the rest of my life."

"I don't want to go to the day of my death and still worry about these trivial things, and finally die in this position. While I can still move, I want to go back to my hometown and enjoy a few years of happiness and live a happy and comfortable life. Days go."

"I wonder where Senior Brother Jiang's family is?"

"Our family is an unknown family in Shigang County. Junior Brother Tang must have never heard of it."

"It turns out that Senior Brother Jiang is from the Jiang family in Shigang County." Tang Ning said suddenly.

The Jiang family is one of the hegemons in Shigang County, Donglai County, and its status is equal to that of the Sima family in Yuanxian County. Its ancestor, Jiang Ruiyuan, was also a hero in his generation. He was a controversial figure, and he was praised and criticized by later generations.

A more fair assessment is that this person has broad ideas but no great talent.

As a descendant of the Jiang family, Jiang Xinquan joined the Taixuan Sect, so he naturally belonged to the aristocratic family. No wonder Xie Xuan would seek cooperation with him. Since they both belonged to the aristocratic family, they could naturally get along.

Jiang Xinquan said: "I am just a dispensable person in our mansion. After joining the sect, my relationship with our mansion became even more estranged. I only go back every few decades."

"This man! It's strange to say that when I was young, I was quite dissatisfied with our government. But as I get older, especially in recent years, I miss the days when I was young in our government more and more, and I even remember them vividly. The desire to return is becoming more and more urgent.”

"This may be what others call fallen leaves returning to their roots!"

Tang Ning said: "After Senior Brother Jiang returns to your mansion, what should be done with the property left here?"

"Xie Xuan promised to deposit my share into the account of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce on a regular basis. If Junior Brother Tang wants to take over, he can also buy my share. I wonder if you are interested in this?"

"Oh? How much does Senior Brother Jiang want to offer?"

"Back then, I invested 25,000 high-grade spiritual stones to open an alchemy hall and shop. In addition to spiritual stones, I also spent a lot of effort on all aspects of affairs. Now everything is on the right track." Jiang Xinquan stretched out four Finger: "If Junior Brother Tang really wants to buy it, I think this price should be considered fair!"

"Four hundred million?"

"It will take almost ten years to get back the money. For the sake of our brothers and sisters, if it were someone else, it would definitely be more than this price. You have just taken office, and your tenure is still very long. To say the least, even if you don't If you step down one day, you can sell it to someone else, and you will never suffer a loss.”

"Let me think about this again!" Tang Ning's face remained calm.

Jiang Xinquan's words may sound reasonable at first glance, but in fact they cannot stand up to scrutiny. The main reason why the elixir shop can make such a huge profit is that they can obtain raw materials at very low prices.

After all, this is the benefit brought by Xie Minghua's status as captain. If Xie Minghua resigns or is transferred one day, he is nothing but Xie Xuan, and no one will need to sell his face.

The business was almost done, and the two chatted for a while. After five rounds of drinking, Tang Ning left.

…………

Fengyan Mountain is located to the west of Jingyuan Pavilion, about 20,000 miles away from Pingling Mountain. The entire mountain range is undulating and stretches for thousands of miles.

To the south of the mountain range, a huge light curtain stands, covering a land of more than a hundred miles in radius.

In the distance, two rays of light shot down, revealing Tang Ning and his two figures.

Jiang Xinquan turned his hand and the talisman sank into the room. After a while, there was a gap where the light curtain melted, and several figures flashed out from inside. The leader had a hooked nose and a broad mouth. He was dressed in Taixuanzong clothes, followed by two men and women.

"Disciple pays homage to Master." The leading man bowed and saluted.

Jiang Xinquan nodded slightly, and a group of mermaids entered the inner room. There were many small light curtains covering the area. Several people escaped from the light and fell in front of the simple hall in the center.

"Wei Xian, this is Junior Brother Tang Ning, who is currently the acting captain of our team. I'm bringing him here to familiarize himself with the situation in Fengyan Mountain. Please explain it to him!" Jiang Xinquan introduced.

"Yes." The man responded: "Uncle Tang, Fengyan Mountain has a radius of more than 1,500 miles, and there is a third-level high-grade spiritual vein hidden in the ground. Its spring is at the bottom of our feet, so we have a radius of more than 100 miles. Contain it and use a large spirit gathering array to gather the spiritual energy of the entire spiritual vein here. "

"The formation is divided into twenty-five areas in total. The areas are planted with purple sunflowers and poppies, arranged in order according to the age of planting. Excluding normal wear and tear, there can be a harvest of about 10,000 beads every year."

Tang Ning asked, "How many people do you have here?"

"Including disciples, there are a total of seventeen monks, fifteen of whom are monks recruited by our team."

"Fifteen people manage twenty-five herb gardens. Is that enough?"

"These areas where medicinal herbs are grown cannot be entered and exited at will. All restricted formations are on the disciples and Senior Brother Chang. They are only opened once a month at the end of the month. People are sent in to check the growth of the medicinal herbs and remove some withered and necrotic ones. Eliminate the elixir."

Tang Ning also managed the herb garden when he was in Qian Yizong in his early years. Compared with the herb garden here, the two are completely different.

The herb garden of Qian Yizong not only grows low-level herbs, but also needs to be watered, fertilized and cared for accordingly every day because the spiritual energy is not sufficient.

There are such a large number of third-level high-grade elixirs planted in the herb garden here, but they don't need to be taken care of at all, because there is a third-level high-grade spiritual vein hidden underground.

Abundant spiritual energy is the best nutrient for elixirs. It not only improves the survival rate of elixirs, but is also very beneficial to the growth of elixirs.

“How many years will it take for the hydrangeas and poppies grown here to reach maturity?”

"It only takes twenty-five years, so we have opened twenty-five herb gardens here. The elixirs planted in each herb garden are different years. There are elixirs from the first year to the mature stage. Every time a herb is picked, The seeds of the mature elixirs in the garden are planted there and circulated repeatedly, so that there are 10,000 mature elixirs for picking every year.”

The purple sun fruit usually takes forty years to mature, but under the nourishment of the spiritual veins surrounded by rich spiritual energy, it only takes twenty-five years to grow, greatly shortening its growth cycle.

Tang Ning asked: "How much does it cost to invest in the formation every year for such a large spirit gathering array?"

"To maintain the operation of the formation, it costs about 1.5 million spirit stones every year."

"Isn't there another disciple here? Where is he?"

Jiang Xinquan said: "Junior brother Tang, Chang Wei is the winner of this year's team's Spirit Gathering Array quota. He went to practice in the alliance's Spirit Gathering Array at the beginning of the year."

"Take us to the herb garden."

"Yes." Wei Xian responded, leading the two of them to a cyan light curtain, turning out an array plate, and fiddled with it a few times. There was a gap where the light curtain melted, and several people entered the inner room.
