Locust

Chapter 158 Insatiable Greed
Outside the Red Lotus Pavilion.

Kou Yuanhai laughed.

"This city of Honglianfang should belong to my Kou family." The old man said shamelessly: "Back then, if Kou Yuanhao hadn't given Di Rong a talisman order of the school's lieutenant, allowing him to get the tiger's skin How can this city avoid those ghosts and monsters and develop safely?"

"A mere 300 million talismans every ten years is not enough to reimburse my Kou family's kindness. The old man has to let that kid cut off more than half of his flesh."

Grandma She didn't think there was any problem with this. Although Kou Yuanhao and Di Rong were just a cooperative relationship and there was no obvious distinction between superiors and subordinates, this kind of "cooperation" was naturally unequal.

The Kou family is from the Yuanying family, and Di Rong is just a "tyrannical" place with no background. Since the development of this Honglianfang City has part of the "credit" of the Kou family, no matter how much or how little, the Kou family should take "" Big head", the law of the world is like this, only the strong have the power to slaughter and divide the flesh.

"Don't underestimate this person." The old woman frowned and sneered, "After all, Di Rong integrated the power of Honglianfang City and defeated the Nascent Soul Demon in one fell swoop. He is not a person who can be slaughtered, rabbit If you are in a hurry, you will bite."

Kou Yuanhai waved his hand, and said with a light smile, "Old lady, relax your mind. Direct action is the next strategy. We are representing the Yuanying Kou family. We can directly use force to suppress people, attack their hearts, and seize their hearts." Forgive me that Di Rong didn't dare to say anything."

"This person has been living in Fangshi for ten years, so he should be content."

……

Inside the Red Lotus Pavilion.

The Second Auction Conference is currently being held. This year's grand event is larger in scale, and the number of distinguished guests entering the venue is still limited to [-]. They wear red lotus masks, but everyone's power and aura are stronger. Obviously, the cultivation base or Compared with the previous year, the net worth has also improved.

Already more than ten people participated in the Red Lotus Pavilion Auction. Most of them are hermit monks who escaped from Qinyun Mountain.

These hermit monks are proficient in various arts of cultivating immortals, have rich wealth, and are dedicated to seeking the Tao, but they are not good at fighting. Therefore, when the locust disaster struck, they immediately left their homes and fled.Honglianfang City also took this opportunity to attract many people.They have a lot of money and few things, and they can provide all kinds of treasures that are beneficial to practice. They are all high-quality "residents" in Fangshi.

The auction started, and the prices of various items went up all the way, and the atmosphere on the scene was hot...

At this time, Kou Yuanhai and Grandma She were also at the auction site. They were alchemy real people who only showed their identities, and waiters from the Red Lotus Pavilion would come forward to receive them and invite them to participate in the meeting.

"I've seen a lot of auctions, but this is the first time I've seen something so innovative." Kou Yuanhai stroked his beard. It’s really interesting to talk about the amount of talismans.”

"The alchemy master just now deliberately revealed his cultivation, trying to scare away some competitors, but unexpectedly, it backfired and made more monks start to participate in the bidding, and the flowers went to other houses..."

He is over [-] years old this year, his blood and energy have begun to decline, he has long since given up on further advancement in cultivation, and has begun to participate in the family business to accumulate wealth for his direct descendants, so he is very interested in business matters .

Grandma She nodded and said, "It's really unique. After this auction, at least there will be a profit of three to four million talismans..."

"Old lady, you are in Nanshi City of Jinxiu City, how about holding an auction in this way?" Kou Yuanhai's eyes lit up, "If this can be done, the benefits you can gain will be far greater than other livelihoods in the clan. .”

"Inappropriate." Grandma Yu shook her head directly to express her disapproval, "This kind of method, regardless of status or cultivation, can be successful in a remote place like Nanyi, but it is absolutely impossible in Jinxiu City."

"Di Rong started from scratch in Nanyi, and built Honglianfang City in a piece of white land. He has a formation and many subordinates to bless him. He has the strength to break the rules and deter all dissatisfied people. It is like painting on white paper without being restrained. .”

"However, in Jinxiu City, the imperial court, the four great families, and various forces are intertwined. If no one can suppress those who disobey, this new method must be like a tiger instead of an anti-dog, and those who try to break the rules will also be punished." This backlash, the result is unpredictable..."

Kou Yuanhai let out a long sigh when he heard the words.

"It's a pity." He felt a little regretful, "The Red Lotus Pavilion Auction, the Red Lotus Pavilion, and the Hunting Fair are all very novel. If we can follow one or two of them, the wealth we can gather will definitely not be rare."

"This Red Lotus Chamber of Commerce is not simple." Grandma She said with a straight face: "This Chamber of Commerce has occupied over [-]% of the industry in Honglianfang City, and has penetrated into all walks of life. More than half of the monks in the workshop, more or less, They have business contacts with them. Coupled with the huge military organization of the Hunting Club, the entire Chamber of Commerce operates like a country. I don’t know if this Di Rong did it intentionally or unintentionally..."

"Like a country?" Kou Yuanhai was surprised, "Could it be that this person also knows some kind of secret method to gather power?"

Gathering the general trend of humanity and gathering the will of all beings has always been the secret of the aristocratic family and maintaining its longevity, allowing them to far surpass some casual cultivators.

The wonderful use of the vow power of all beings lies in assisting monks in their practice and enlightenment. Most of the Nascent Soul family benefited from this great benefit, so that they can cultivate the Nascent Soul Daoist from generation to generation.

If this general trend of humanity and the willpower of all living beings are combined with the ancient Sheji Grand Formation, it will be able to evolve into Sheji Dragon Qi, which will help Yuanying monks to advance to the realm of transforming gods.

Grandma She sneered and said, "The wish power of all living beings has always been a secret of the aristocratic family. Most of what Di Rong did was just unintentional."

Kou Yuanhai sighed: "Inadvertently, he managed to manage the Red Lotus Chamber of Commerce like a country and gather the hearts of tens of thousands of monks. This Di Rong is really a great talent."

"Kou Yuanhao is still too soft-hearted. Back then, he should have directly used power to force Di Rong to surrender and accept him for the Kou family's use."

Grandma She nodded and said, "It's really a pity that such a person lives in a remote place like Nanyi..."

……

The third floor of Honglian Pavilion No.30.

The Blood God Son noticed the two immortals of the Kou family.

When the two first arrived in Nanyi, they entered the He Mansion in Nanyi City and stayed for a few days before arriving in Honglianfang City.

Shijiao's Anzi who was in ambush in He's family had already sent back information about these two people, Kou Yuanhai and Grandma She, one at the late alchemy stage and the other at the middle stage of alchemy.

"Looking at their behavior, these two people from the Kou family seem to be hostile." Xueshenzi smiled lightly, "It would be best if you can be content with the status quo, and I can allow you to collect amulets for a few more years. If you dare If you are insatiable and greedy, don't even think about taking away another talisman..."

Kou Yuanhao didn't come in person, so he sent these two alchemy masters to collect the talisman money, and he was not interested in showing up in person, so he only let Hongxiu get in touch with these two people.

In the Red Lotus Pavilion, there is a barrier defense of the Blood Transformation God Formation, and I am protecting it in secret, so nothing can go wrong.

……

The [-]nd Honglian Pavilion Auction Conference has been successfully concluded.

Compared with the previous one, the number of treasures of all kinds has more than doubled this year, and there are more high-end customers.After a grand event, a total of nearly 400 million talisman coins were brought to Honglian Pavilion.

This is a happy event worth celebrating.

However, he encountered a bad guest at his door.

Kou Yuanhai and Grandma She looked ugly, they never thought that Di Rong dared to close the door when the members of the Kou family "come here", and only let a junior from Zhuji come forward to receive them.

"You mean, Di Rong is in seclusion and can't come out to greet him?" Kou Yuanhai asked coldly.

"Return to senior." Hongxiu was neither humble nor overbearing, and said politely: "Since the great battle three years ago, Master Chixiao has been retreating in Chixiao Mountain and is in a critical period. You must know, monk The closed-door training must not be interrupted easily. Now, even those close to us cannot disturb it."

"However, the Daoist also explained the agreement with Senior Kou Yuanhao before going into seclusion, and he also specifically instructed me to not neglect this matter."

Hong Xiu took out a red storage bag, and said respectfully: "Senior, in this storage bag is the agreed 320 million talisman coins. Hong Xiu has already prepared it, please check it."

Kou Yuanhai breathed heavily in his chest and couldn't get it out, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

This time, he came aggressively, and he has already thought of more than a dozen ways to "coerce" Di Rong into submission.In his opinion, even if Di Rong could not completely submit to the Kou family during this trip, it would still allow him to reap most of the benefits.

Unexpectedly, this Di Rong didn't accept the call, he didn't even show his face, and only let a small foundation-builder come forward.It's like, a heavy punch he had prepared for a long time hit the empty space, failed to hurt the enemy, but frustrated himself, and his depression was hard to dissipate.

Hongxiu has no loss of etiquette, and his words are impeccable, if he had an outburst on the spot at this time, he would be inferior.

Grandma She obviously saw the depression of her Taoist couple, and suddenly interjected: "Little girl, you must be the leader of the Red Lotus Chamber of Commerce, Chu Hongxiu, right?"

"Return to senior." Hongxiu leaned back and said, "I am Chu Hongxiu."

Grandma She nodded in satisfaction.

"What a woman." The old woman smiled wrinkledly, "I heard that the price of the stock certificates outside the Red Lotus Chamber of Commerce you are in charge of has exceeded a hundred talismans, and only [-] stock certificates take up [-]% of the shares of the Chamber of Commerce, so the value of the Red Lotus Chamber of Commerce is more than [-] million talismans?"

"It's rare to see such a rich man even in Jinxiu City!"

"Predecessor's praise." Hongxiu cupped his hands and said, "The current price of stock certificates is just the favor of monks in the market. The real value of the chamber of commerce, how can it have such a scale, is just a false high..."

Grandma She waved her hand, interrupting Hong Xiu's words.

"Don't pretend to be confused here." The old woman's eyes turned cold, and she sneered: "You are a smart person, you probably already know what I mean."

"Your Honglianfang City can have today's prosperous and prosperous place, thanks to the contribution of our Kou family, that is, the Demon Slayer Commander's Order that Kou Yuanhao bestowed on Di Rong."

"If it weren't for the prestige and protection of the Demon Slayer and the Kou family, how could you survive so far?"

Hongxiu remained silent, and scolded in her heart: The old woman is extremely shameless, a talisman order from the school of the demon school has already stolen 600 million talismans from Honglianfang City, and she is still not satisfied, and wants to get more, she is really greedy!
