Chapter 104 Merit Treasury and Preparations for Sacrifice
The craftsmen in front of Chu Qiguang are also techniques passed down from generation to generation, and they are almost unwilling to learn and innovate redundantly, all because they are afraid of becoming enchanted.

Chu Qiguang had no choice but to invite Taoist Fayuan to perform the exorcism ritual for them, which encouraged them spiritually.

Then, all the twelve craftsmen were secretly fed with golden wine, and the foundation-building method of the heavenly demon was performed, which turned them into hidden half-demons, just like Wang Cailiang and Hao Xiangtong, and actually enhanced their ability to resist demons.

On the second day after the Sky Demon Foundation Establishment was completed, all twelve craftsmen felt as if they were reborn.

But of course they didn't know the existence of the Heavenly Demon's foundation-building method, and they only thought that the exorcism ritual performed by Taoist Fayuan yesterday had an effect, and that Taoist Xuanyuan manifested.

Then Chu Qiguang rewarded each of them with one tael of silver, and said that if one machine is built, each person will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and if two machines are built, each person will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver. .

But if you can't make it...

Chu Qiguang's face darkened, he looked at the 12 people and said: "You know who Master Wu Wei is, you have a year to study these two machines, if you can't make one of them after a year, then no one will be able to do it." Good fruit to eat."

Wu Wei's reputation is obviously very useful in the area of ​​Qingyang County. This time, Taoist priests appeared, stimulated by money, the body was reborn, and there was a threat from the Wu family. The twelve craftsmen immediately began to work hard every day. research work.

Temporarily settled the craftsman's side, Chu Qiguang went to the Taoist temple again, just because the abbot Chenzhu said that the indulgence note could not be used, so he had to think of another name.

Chu Qiguang asked tentatively, and knew that some high-ranking members of the Heavenly Master were not satisfied with the content of the indulgence.

So he thought for a while and said, "Why don't I, the Wu family, and the Taoist temple invest together to set up a merit bank, and we will take care of the silver when it is deposited in, and the Taoist priests will pray for the family that deposits the silver every day. The money will be returned to them later..."

"At that time, a merit wall will be erected at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and a merit list will be set up on the wall. Those who have saved silver can choose not to be on the list. At that time, we will also invite a calligrapher, and invite the best master to engrave the characters, according to the amount of silver. At least the name is engraved, and the name is plated with gold..."

"We also need to choose a famous name. The first list is called the Golden Merit League, and the second list is called the Silver Merit... The names are from big to small, from high to low. The first one should be as big as it is. Every pilgrim comes in and goes out. can see..."

Abbot Chenzhu understood Chu Qiguang's meaning as soon as he heard it, and his eyes lit up instantly: "It's wonderful."

At this time, Chu Qiguang did not mention any interest, because he has researched in the past few days and found that with the degree of superstition in this world, as long as he thinks about the name, such a sum of money will not be tempted by interest at all.

Chu Qiguang thought in his heart: "There is no need to pay interest at all!" '

Because most wealthy households have made money... Apart from practicing martial arts, they don't have many investment channels.And not everyone has the talent to practice martial arts, and is willing to take the risk of becoming a demon to be brave and diligent.

However, if the silver is stored in a silver shop, management fees will be charged. If it is safer to store in a Taoist temple without charging management fees, and it can have a name on the list of blessings and merits, then the attraction will definitely be greater.

Moreover, many rich families in Qingyang County have just distributed their money in the confiscated homes, which is the time when there is so much money that there is no place to spend it.

So Chu Qiguang felt that the trick of interest could be used the next time he gathered money.

Next, Chu Qiguang contributed 3000 taels of silver, and the Wu family and the Taoist temple each contributed 1 taels of silver. They agreed to set up a merit bank together, and then absorb the deposits of all the wealthy and squires in Qingyang County.

Because both the Wu family and the Taoist temple were worried that the other party would spend the money indiscriminately, and also believed in Chu Qiguang's ability, they agreed that the money could only be managed by Chu Qiguang, and only the textile business could be operated.

For the money earned in the future, it is now agreed that Chu Qiguang will share [-]%, and the remaining Wu family and Taoist temple will each share half.

As a result, Chu Qiguang's silver suddenly shrank to 4600 taels.

In this era, there is no need for any contracts, and all terms ultimately depend on the strength, status and capabilities of the three parties.

Although the merit library has not yet been officially launched, and although the great business of making money has not yet begun, it is already visible that it is flourishing, and Chu Qiguang has not let go of his own martial arts and Taoism cultivation.

It's just that it's not so simple to improve again at the fourth level of Taoism. This kind of spiritual breakthrough is mysterious and unreasonable. What Chu Qiguang can do now is to insist on daily meditation, and to use every time he gets sick. During the process of treatment, one can improve one's spiritual realm little by little.

After Wu Dao entered the fourth realm, he continued to temper the sensitivity of his own energy and blood, trying to use the power of his own energy and blood to support the brain, because the human brain is too complicated, this is a very dangerous process, one must be careful, like walking on thin ice .

When the brain can be successfully supplied with more qi and blood, it will enter the fifth stage - qi and blood transforming into gods.

In addition to practicing martial arts and Taoism, what Chu Qiguang still needs to do every day is comprehend the Sumi Mountain King Sutra.

Through this kind of comprehension, he can directly improve his physique and heat resistance every day, and increase the upper limit of the explosion of Qi and blood day by day, so that Chu Qiguang has stronger explosive power than the fourth-level warriors of the same level.

……

After discussing business matters with Abbot Chen Zhu that day, Chu Qiguang asked about the other party's pills.by
With his current relationship with Chen Zhu, he could buy more pills. He even asked if he could buy talismans, but the other party flatly refused.

Abbot Chen Zhu said, "I have some of the Qibao Wan you asked about last time. But it costs 500 taels. Are you sure you want to use it?"

Qibao Wan is refined from seven kinds of precious medicinal materials, which can temporarily increase the speed of the brain, making people smarter and more perceptive within an hour.

Of course, because it is related to the brain, the impact of erysipelas is more serious. It is the limit for ordinary people to use one pill for seven days, and it is usually used by practitioners when they break through the key.

Of course, if it can be used every day like Chu Qiguang, it will definitely improve the efficiency of practicing martial arts and hitting the fifth realm.

Abbot Chen Zhu said: "Not many people use this stuff, and they can only take one pill in seven days at most, and I only have three pills in stock."

Chu Qiguang bought all three directly, and hoped that Abbot Chenzhu could buy some more Qibao pills from the Tianshijiao, so he would buy them again.

Abbot Chen Zhu suspected that Chu Qiguang was secretly selling medicine to others as a second-hand dealer, but now he and Chu Qiguang had common interests and a good relationship, so it didn't matter, and promised to get some more Qibao pills for Chu Qiguang.

Then Chu Qiguang took the medicine home and ate it, and the silver also shrank again, becoming 3100 taels.Although it looks like a lot, if Chu Qiguang wants to buy Qibaowan again, or make working capital for the textile business, it won't seem too much.

In the small courtyard room, Chu Qiguang, who had eaten Qibao Pills, immediately felt his brain was clearer than ever. He seized the time to practice martial arts and tried to control the circulation of Qi and blood to the brain.

An hour later, the effect of the first Qibao Pill passed, but Chu Qiguang felt that his progress in this hour was worth more than a day of hard work on weekdays.

"The medicine is good medicine, but it's too expensive. According to Qiao Zhi's estimate, with my aptitude and cultivation state, it will take at least a year of hard work to break through to the fifth level."

"But if you keep taking Qibao Pills, it will take more than 300 Qibao Pills, and it will take more than 300 hours, that is, 25 days to break through to the fifth level, but it will cost 15 taels of silver."

"The price/performance ratio is too low, and no one else can eat like this except me."

Thinking about the three Qibao pills that Abbot Chentian took out, Chu Qiguang thought again: "Even if I have money, I have no way to buy more than 300 Qibao pills."

"Sigh, power, wealth, force...all are still not enough."

However, even with the current strength of the four realms of Taoism and Martial Arts, it is far enough for Chu Qiguang to take the Martial Arts Examination in two months and get the fame of a martial arts student.

Chu Qiguang thought that he might continue to enjoy the life of taking drugs every day only if he successfully completed the textile export business in the future.

But now the most important hydraulic textile machine has been researched by artisans working overtime. Chu Qiguang is also arranging other details with the Wu family and the Taoist temple. Before the whole project starts...he doesn't have to do too much work.

'It's time to go to the ruins, pay homage to Xia Ergou's father and brother, and completely calm down the spiritual influence. '

While thinking, Chu Qiguang threw the second Qibao pill into his mouth.
