I open a farm in the world of cultivation

Wang Guangan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he didn't need an equivalent collateral. He just needed to have a clan member under his surveillance, similar to a hostage.

He had to pay back 40,000 spirit stones first, and he also had to rent an island. The spirit stones he brought from overseas might not be enough. He asked with some concern: "Fellow Daoist Chen, how many spirit stones are needed to rent an island with a third-level spirit vein?"

"There are many overseas islands, so the rent is much cheaper than the spiritual mountains on land, but it also depends on the location of the island, the level of the spirit vein, and the size of the island. The price is low for more remote islands, lower spirit veins, and smaller areas. If the lease period is 100 years, it can be taken for 50,000 spirit stones. Otherwise, the price is high, and there are some with a maximum value of 500,000 spirit stones!"

"And after renting the island, you also need to plant some special spirit plants for the corresponding forces. Someone will go to hand over the specific requirements to you at that time. After all, the environment of each island is different, and the spirit plants that can be planted are also different!"

Chen Yuanfeng explained almost everything to Wang Guangan. He can also get benefits if he makes a deal.

Although the islands in remote areas are cheaper, their safety cannot be guaranteed. They will definitely be the first to be abandoned when encountering a beast tide.

The islands close to the Yuanying forces are not good either. Under their tutelage, the surrounding resources will definitely be occupied by the Yuanying forces, and even the monsters will be hunted by their disciples. It is not easy to develop the family by relying solely on the spiritual veins of the island without additional income.

Because he planned to take shelter under the Ye family, there were fewer islands to choose from. Wang Guangan finally chose a medium-sized island in the Red Butterfly Sea, called Ju'ao Island. There is a third-level medium-grade spiritual vein on the island, and there are more than 40 affiliated islands around it, five of which have second-level spiritual veins.

The Red Butterfly Sea where the island is located is located in the middle of the Ye family's sphere of influence. It is not too dangerous and far away from the Ye family.

Chen Yuanfeng smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Wang, the lease of Ju'ao Island is for 100 years, the rent is 200,000 spirit stones, plus the 40,000 that needs to be repaid previously, you need to pay a total of 240,000 spirit stones!"

Wang Guangan felt extremely painful, how much wealth did the Wang family have? Now he had to give away 240,000 spirit stones, and there was still a debt of 160,000 later.

However, leasing an island to develop the family was a strategy that the Wang family had already set. Without an island as a foundation, these members of the Wang family would not be able to develop if they had been wandering in Wanxiang City.

Chapter 211 Family Inventory

"I don't have that many spirit stones on me, Fellow Daoist Chen, can I pay with other things?"

"Yes, but the price will be estimated by us. Of course, if you are not satisfied, you don't have to sell it!"

Wang Guangan nodded and took out two foundation-building pills. These were originally reserved for the clan members, so they could only be used for emergency purposes first!

Chen Yuanfeng identified them himself and called a middle-aged female cultivator, and the two witnessed them together.

"The foundation-building pills are well preserved, and each pill is estimated to be worth 35,000 spirit stones, a total of 70,000!"

Wang Guangan could accept this price and did not refute.

He took out another passion fruit tree. He brought quite a few resources. After all, the original purpose was to prevent the family from suffering an accident and cutting off its foundation.

Wang Hao found a total of three passion fruit trees, sold one to Baoqing Pavilion, and brought one of the remaining two.

"A second-level medium-quality passion fruit tree, estimated at 80,000 spirit stones!" The female cultivator took a look and said lightly.

There was still a shortfall of 90,000. Wang Guangan gritted his teeth and took out several pills, as well as spirit medicines, spirit talismans, and magic tools, and finally made up the value of 200,000. He paid the remaining 40,000 with spirit stones.

Chen Yuanfeng and the middle-aged female cultivator wrote a receipt for Wang Guangan, and gave him a sea chart with the route to Ju'ao Island marked, and a token indicating that he was the owner of Ju'ao Island and the surrounding sea area. This place will be the private territory of the Wang family for a hundred years, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass!

"Fellow Daoist Wang, there are still 160,000 spirit stones left. Please be sure to pay it back within ten years, otherwise we will take back Ju'ao Island in advance!"

Wang Guangan nodded to show that he understood, then left the City Lord's Mansion and headed towards Danfu Pavilion.

Danfu Pavilion was smashed by the thunder tribulation, and the Wang family could only temporarily choose an inn nearby as a place to stay.

When the Wang family saw Wang Guangan, they were naturally full of joy.

"Ancestor, our Wang family will be a Jindan family in the future!"

"Ancestor, shall we return to the family? Now that you are a Jindan cultivator, even the Qingyuan Sect dare not easily touch our Wang family!"

"Ancestor, can you tell us about the process of forming a golden elixir!"

Everyone asked at once, but Wang Guangan did not feel bored, but was indescribably happy.

He coughed lightly, and everyone immediately quieted down.

Then he told everyone about his experience of forming a golden elixir.

Finally, he said: "The store will be rebuilt soon, and we can continue to rent it. In addition, I have purchased an island from the Ye family. Our Wang family will have a foundation overseas in the future. As for returning to the family, you have to wait a while. The family is not rich now and cannot afford the spiritual stones for teleportation!"

Some of the clan members were disappointed that they could not go home. They had not seen their families for nearly ten years, especially some of the younger ones. However, after hearing that there was an island with a third-level middle-grade spiritual vein as a foundation, they smiled again on their faces.

Although you can practice in the city, it is not as convenient as your own home. The accommodation conditions are also poor. You can't even find a quiet cave to retreat.

There are also skills such as planting and taming animals. Without a larger site, it is impossible to carry out.

Wang Yanfeng was concerned about the huge amount of money owed by the family. He calculated the income of the store in recent years and said, "Grandpa, there are still 30,000 spirit stones in the store account, and I have more than 10,000 in my hand. I think why don't we all pool together and pay off the debt first?"

"Yes, Grandpa, we still have some spirit stones in our hands. If we pool together and sell some treasures, it should be enough for 160,000 spirit stones," Wang Wenmei suggested.

Wang Guangan was very moved after hearing this and laughed loudly: "They are all good children, but there is no need to rush. We still have to build a family residence on the island, which requires a lot of spiritual stones. Let's delay the payment of the debt in advance!"

"But don't worry. Since Wanxiang City has given a deadline, I think it will not do anything to us before the debt is due. The ancestor is also going to return to the family and collect a batch of materials from the family for support!"

"The family has Wenhao, a business genius. After so many years, I think it has accumulated a lot of spiritual stones."

"In short, my Wang family will only get better and better!"

Everyone laughed happily when they heard this.

Time is tight, family construction is imminent, and Wang Guangan is also very worried about the family's situation.

So after some discussion, everyone decided that Wang Guangan would return to the family as soon as possible to see the safety of the family and bring some more clansmen and supplies out. Wang Yanfeng and others were preparing to rebuild the store and build the family in the city.

Wang Guangan met with Li Dedao and several Li family cultivators. Li Dedao was respectful. Since the Wang family became a Jindan family, there was no need to be on equal footing with the Li family. However, Wang Guangan did not intend to demolish the bridge after crossing the river. He just gave Li Dedao a choice, either to develop in Wanxiang City on his own, or to rely on the Wang family. The Wang family would rent a small island with a second-level spiritual vein near Ju'ao Island to the Li family.

Seeing Li Dedao hesitate, Wang Guangan did not stay for long. Anyway, he had to go back to Qingniufang and talk directly to the head of the Li family.

He immediately walked towards the teleportation hall.

And those Jindan cultivators who wanted to make friends with Wang Guangan could only be disappointed. They did not expect Wang Guangan to leave Wanxiang City so anxiously!

…

In the meeting hall of Wangjialing, the head of the family, Wang Yanzhao, was presiding over a family meeting to summarize and discuss the development of the Wang family in recent years.

Three years have passed since the family competition. Calculating the time, the Qingyuan Gate is about to reopen the mountain gate.

Except for Wang Hao and Wang Longyou who were in seclusion, all the elders gathered here.

Wang Yanzhi has been in charge of the family finances since he established his foundation. He cleared his throat and said first:

"In the past few years, thanks to the efforts of all the clansmen, the family's income is still good, more and more every year, which is considered to be steady and progressive!"

"This year's income is 25,670 spiritual stones, mainly from the elixir business, accounting for 40% of the total income, and spiritual fish, spiritual rice, spiritual medicine, minerals, wine, and income from clan members going out to hunt account for the remaining 60%; expenditure is 31,320 spiritual stones, the main expenditure is clan member salaries, accounting for 40% of the total expenditure, and clan member welfare, various evaluation rewards, initial investment in cultivating the hundred arts, etc. account for 30%, and welcoming and seeing off and some miscellaneous items account for 10%. , the rest all comes from special incentives to encourage childbirth!"

"Hiss," some elders couldn't help but frowned and said, "The family's income is actually negative?"

Wang Yanzhi nodded slightly: "In the past few years, it was okay. We could make a profit of more than 10,000 spirit stones every year. In recent years, with the increase in the number of family monks, the spirit stones required for salaries and policies to encourage childbirth have increased significantly, which has led to expenditures gradually exceeding income. "

"For example, this year, a total of 26 children with spiritual roots were born. The one-time subsidy alone requires more than 2,000 spirit stones as a reward. In addition, the education of pregnant women and young children also requires expenditures. "

Encouraging childbirth is not just giving birth without raising children. If there are too many children and the family doesn't care, who would be willing to give birth? These clansmen need a large amount of spirit stones subsidized by the family every year before they are 18 years old! This is the big head.

Wang Yanzhao looked at Wang Yanji and asked, "How many members are there in the family now!"

Wang Yanji has been in charge of internal affairs in recent years. He stood up and said, "Reporting to the head of the family, there are now 302 cultivators in the family, breaking the 300 mark for the first time, and more than 20 new cultivators are added every year. The Wu generation has begun to marry and have children. This year alone, three children of the Ben generation appeared!"

Chapter 212 Sixth level of foundation building

The policy of encouraging childbirth has directly changed the ecology of the family. In the past, cultivators usually did not marry before the age of 30, and cultivation was the most important.

But now, some members of the family with four or five spiritual roots have seen no hope of building a foundation, and they have begun to marry and take concubines before the age of 20, earning spirit stones by giving birth, and feeding back their cultivation...

Although everyone knows that the reason for the deficit is that the family members' salaries are too high and some rewards are too much, no one has mentioned the word "cut". These interests concern everyone in the family. Do they want to be scolded to death by their relatives for taking this lead?

"Clan leader, this is not a solution. Even if there are some spirit stones in the clan treasury, if we continue to subsidize it like this every year, it will sooner or later be exhausted!" A Qi-refining elder stood up and said.

Wang Yanzhao and several foundation-building masters knew how many spirit stones there were in the clan treasury. Even if the deficit was 5,000 a year, it could still support the family for 40 to 50 years. In addition, there were income from the spirit stone mine and overseas. The family actually did not have a deficit, but some income could not be put on the table.

Now the family's rapid development cannot be interrupted, so he said: "The solution is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. There is no need to reduce expenditure for the time being. Let's think about increasing revenue and whether we can develop more industries to increase income for the family!"

"Let's go through the family's income from each industry first, and then you can make some suggestions and see if we can think of ways to increase our income!"

Wang Yanzhao looked at Zhu Shan, "Let's start from the fishing ground!"

Because of his ability to raise spiritual fish, Zhu Shan's status in the Wang family has significantly improved, and he has become the first elder with a foreign surname to be responsible for an industry alone.

"Reporting to the owner, the Linghu fishery has been developing continuously in recent years. It has been able to produce a batch of spiritual fish or spiritual shrimps every five years. The average annual income is about two thousand spiritual stones. As the scale continues to expand, , in ten years we can make a profit of five thousand spirit stones every year!”

Spirit fish are different from ordinary fish. They take a long time to grow. It takes at least ten years for a first-level spirit fish to be caught. The same is true for Lingbei spirit shrimp. In the first few years, there is no income.

However, as long as the seedlings are left and fished properly, the income of the fishery is still very stable.

"Thank you," Wang Yanzhao nodded and motioned for him to sit down!

Another elder stood up.

"Reporting to the head of the family, this year the family's spiritual fields total 300 acres, most of which are planted with spiritual grains and a small part with elixirs. The estimated income is about 4,000 spiritual stones! I suggest that we increase the reclamation of spiritual fields in Ruojun Mountain so that Plant more spiritual grains and elixirs. In addition, the income from spiritual grains is too low for our family. We can reduce planting. The clan’s rations can be purchased from outside, and we can grow more valuable elixirs!”

The elixir is highly effective, but requires a relatively long growth cycle. If all elixirs are planted, there may be no income for more than ten years. If they encounter diseases and insect pests, the losses will be even more severe. Therefore, many small families will still plant spiritual grains with a shorter cycle. Spiritual wheat is used to reduce the risk. Only relatively strong families dare to plant spiritual medicine on a large scale.

The Wang family is now prospering, and Wang Yanzhao feels that it is time to consider a transformation. In the future, the rations the family will need will be purchased from affiliated families, and the Wang family will concentrate on growing elixirs and refining elixirs!

"Well, this suggestion is good and can be implemented. Do the elders have any opinions?"

No one has any objections. This is a good thing to increase the family's income, and with the salary being high, they no longer look down on the spiritual stones produced by the Spirit Planting Valley.

Wang Longxing stood up: "Reporting to the owner of the family, this year the Qingniufang store was jointly squeezed by the three families of Lei, Cheng, and Zhao. They deliberately lowered prices and took away some customers. The revenue has dropped compared with previous years. If it weren't for the support of my Wang family's elixirs, , I’m afraid my income will drop drastically, I’m really ashamed of my family!”

"Hey, clan uncle, you don't have to blame yourself so much. This is not your fault," Wang Yanzhao first consoled him, then his expression changed: "What a Lei Liheng, who dares to challenge my Wang family with his peak foundation-building strength. Since In this way, I have also fought with him. They are unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust. The family's weapon refining, puppet, spiritual wine, clothing and other businesses are now fully launched in Qingniufang, and the prices are lower than those of the three families! "

Wang Hao brought back so many inheritances from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, and the Wang family selected a few key areas for development. The most developed ones now are weapon refining, puppet making, silkworm raising, spiritual wine, talisman making, and beast control. Although they are still No second-level talents have been born, but in the Qingniufang area, which is dominated by qi-training monks, it is enough!

Afterwards, each elder of the family explained the revenue status and development suggestions of the industries in their hands.
