Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family
Chapter 487 Gusu, a mighty city
Developing a small world is not something that can be done overnight, so there is no time to rush. Moreover, we have to clear away those troublesome [Mist Insects] first.
Speaking of this, we have to mention Song Youping again. He has not been idle during the time when Song Changsheng and others entered the small world. The family has allocated a separate hill for him to prepare poisons and raise spirit insects. He stays there all day long and made an upgraded version of the medicine bricks.
The smell of the medicine brick using the new formula will not only spread farther, but the [Mist Insect] will die of the poison within three hours after licking it.
Since this is a poison specially configured to target the [Mist Insects], it will not have any impact on the surrounding environment.
This saves a lot of trouble.
After receiving the news, Song Luzhou immediately arranged for Song Changan and Song Qingming to send them over to Song Changsheng and the others.
In the next few days, Song Xianming and Song Changsheng split up into two groups and placed new medicinal bricks everywhere. It is believed that within a few months, the scale of the [Mist Hidden Insects] will be sharply reduced.
With the insect-killing weapon, Song Qingxing and others naturally didn't need to stay there any longer. After mining a part of the [Golden Wire Charcoal], they returned to Cangmang Peak together.
"We must reward Youping well this time. Without him, I don't know how much more manpower and material resources would be needed to completely eliminate those [Mist Hidden Bugs]."
Song Changsheng nodded in agreement and said, "He really worked hard this time. He didn't sleep for two months in order to develop and make the medicine bricks."
Qigong practitioners are not like them. They also need to eat and sleep. Two months is already an overload.
It is said that after making the last batch of medicine bricks, Song Youping fell asleep. It has been three days now and there is no sign of waking up. If his vital signs were not normal, one would almost think that something had happened to him.
However, rewards must be given, and he cannot just decide on the spur of the moment. He still has to call the elders of the tribe to discuss it.
Seeing that he had already made arrangements, Song Xianming stopped talking and changed the subject, "Are you really going to cooperate with that young master?"
He had his doubts about this matter. After all, the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce was a behemoth that spanned several cultivation circles. It was hard to say how many people would line up to get close to the chamber of commerce.
Although Song Changsheng had some friendship with the young master, in his opinion, it was just an ordinary one. It would not be so easy to get in touch with him. If he went to the house rashly, he might be looked down upon.
"Let's give it a try. What if it works? At least I still have the title of a guest elder. Even if I can't get close to them, I can at least find a market for [Golden Wire Charcoal].
Spiritual charcoal is easy to sell anywhere, and our quality is so good and the supply is stable, so they will definitely not refuse it." Song Changsheng spread his hands, looking indifferent.
He didn't have to rush to ask others to buy the [Golden Wire Charcoal]. The product in his hand was strong enough and he could sell it anyway. It was just a matter of trouble and simplicity.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could establish a stable trade channel. If it succeeded, that would be the best. Even if it failed in the end, he would not lose anything.
After hearing what he said, Song Xianming reluctantly said, "What you said makes sense. Let's go and give it a try. When do you plan to go to Gusu?"
Song Changsheng thought about it and realized that the development of the small world had to be postponed, the academy had not yet been built, and there were a group of elders helping him take care of the affairs of the clan, so it seemed that there was no place where he could be used.
"Go early and come back early, just for these few days."
"So do you plan to go there by yourself or take the inter-domain flying boat?"
"No need to go through so much trouble. When I went to Gusu last time, Fellow Daoist Peng gave me a sign. I can go directly to the black market in Luoxia City and take the space teleportation array. If everything goes well, I may be able to come back within a month."
Song Xianming's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "This is really a great gift. It seems that your idea is still very likely to come true."
He originally thought that the relationship between the two was just an ordinary one, but now it seems that it is much deeper than he imagined. If he can make good use of it, there is great potential for him!
If Song Changsheng knew what he was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at him. The friendship between the two of them was not that deep. However, Peng Siying was indeed a generous person, and he decided to make this trip considering this point.
After leaving Ruoyun Palace, Song Changsheng turned around and went to the Cold Pond. After the Jinwu Sect delivered the materials he had exchanged last time, he planted the seeds of the [White Jade Cold Bamboo] he had exchanged for around the Cold Pond. It has been a few months, and it is time to go and check on the situation.
As soon as I reached the cold pool, I saw Song Youfu in brocade clothes sitting cross-legged by the pool, shivering in the bone-chilling cold. His snot and tears had frozen and turned into ice crystals that were hanging in strips. He looked so miserable.
Seeing this, Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel happy. He walked to his side and teased, "It's strange today. You actually come to the cold pool to practice so early. The sun doesn't even seem to rise from the west."
Song Youfu was already numb from the cold. When he heard Song Changsheng's words, he seemed to have seen a savior. He said with difficulty, "Nineteenth uncle, please stop looking at your grandson and laugh at him. Hurry and save me. Someone is going to die."
"Why, was Lin'er throwing it over again?
Didn't I tell you to keep your mouth shut and not to provoke him? What did you do this time? " Song Changsheng came to his senses when he heard it. He said, why is this kid so diligent? It turns out that he was sanctioned.
Hearing this, Song Youfu immediately said with tears in his eyes: "I have been as honest as I can be during this period, but he said that I lost too quickly in the last family competition and lost face for you and the ancestors, so he insisted on giving me special training and asking me to follow his training schedule every day.
Nineteenth uncle, please give us some justice. Is that damn schedule meant for human beings? Ten out of the twelve hours in a day are fully scheduled.
It would have been fine if it had been just one or two days, and I could have gotten through it with just gritted my teeth, but...it ended up taking me several months to get through it. Look at the dark circles under my eyes, and look at my arms, I've lost a lot of weight."
Song Youfu was in tears and his words made anyone who heard them sad and cry, and his words were full of accusations against Song Youlin.
Even Song Changsheng felt a little bit of pity in his heart after hearing this. Song Youlin's training schedule was indeed not something that ordinary people could stick to, and the intensity was not very low.
"You can't resist?" Song Changsheng said with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Resist?" Song Youfu looked at him in disbelief.
"Nineteenth uncle, he has reached the great perfection of Qi training, and is so skilled in the [Art of Controlling Objects] that I can't even get close to him.
The more I resisted, the harder he beat me. A small beating a day, a big beating every three days. He used to find a reason in advance when beating me, but now he beats me like it's a game. Nineteenth uncle, please let me go down the mountain. I want to contribute to the family. I can't stay here for a moment."
Song Changsheng looked at him with disdain and said, "Weren't you very excited when you first went up the mountain?
I think Lin'er did the right thing, and it's time to teach you a lesson. Why can he beat you on the same mountain as Tianshang? Because he has a big fist. If your fist is big enough, you can beat him too. The old man and I will never take sides. "
"You didn't tell me there was such a pervert when we went up the mountain."
"Okay, be quiet. Concentrate on your training now. You will still have a chance to fight back in the future." "Although the hope is slim." Song Changsheng added secretly in his heart.
After saying that, he ignored him and walked to the place where he had sown the seeds. He found that there were already several bulges. It would not be long before the seeds would break through the ground. With the growth rate of the spiritual bamboo, this place would soon be covered by the [White Jade Cold Bamboo], which would add some heritage to the family.
"Brewing [Bamboo Leaf Green] with cold bamboo should have a different flavor, right?" Song Changsheng licked his lips subconsciously. He hasn't had a taste of new wine for a long time since Xia Yunxue started researching rice wine.
Speaking of spiritual wine, his drinking instinct was aroused. He was no longer in a hurry to go to Luoxia City, but turned around and walked to the wine-making workshop.
From a distance, Song Changsheng could smell the intoxicating aroma of wine. Dozens of people were busy working and no one noticed his arrival at all.
Looking at the sealed vats in the warehouse, Song Changsheng couldn't help but ask, "Mom, isn't it brewed yet?"
Several years have passed in a flash, and a lot of third-level spiritual rice and spiritual springs have been consumed, but it seems that there has been no news of any results. For this reason, some people in the clan have already planned to stop it.
Xia Yunxue, who was originally deep in thought, was interrupted by him. She looked at him with a reproachful look and said, "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I just came back. Are there any technical difficulties?" Song Changsheng looked around casually.
Xia Yunxue shook her head slightly and said, "There is actually no problem technically. The new batch of rice wine we brewed has reached the third level."
"Isn't that good? Why are you still looking so sad?" Song Changsheng asked puzzledly.
"It just barely meets the standard, and is far from the expected standard." Xia Yunxue sighed slightly. Because Song Yushi spared no effort to promote her, she is now also a famous third-level winemaker in the Da Qi cultivation world.
Fame is a double-edged sword. While her popularity has increased, she has also been targeted by her peers. Now, no one knows how many people are watching her, and they are ready to criticize her.
Therefore, this batch of spirit wine that barely reached the third level could not be distributed under any circumstances, otherwise it would damage its own reputation.
She needs to further improve her quality.
Song Changsheng comforted him immediately after hearing this: "Don't be too stressed. Sometimes it might be better to change your mindset. I've planted some White Jade Cold Bamboo by the cold pond. When it grows up, you can use it to brew new Bamboo Leaf Green. It should have a different flavor."
"Let's try again. I feel like we're almost there." Xia Yunxue rubbed her brows with her hand.
Seeing this, Song Changsheng stopped trying to persuade her, chatted with her for a while, and then took the space teleportation array to Luoxia City.
However, he did not act alone this time, but brought along several close juniors including Song Qingxing, Song Qingyun and Song Qingxi.
It's a rare opportunity to go to Gusu's cultivation world, so this is a good opportunity to take them out to see the world.
Song Changsheng did not go directly to the black market. He first took Song Qingyun to visit Zhuang Yuechan, and then went to find Shen Qingxiu to discuss the trade of [Golden Silk Charcoal].
Just by taking a look at the quality of [Golden Wire Charcoal], Shen Qingxiu placed an order for 5,000 kilograms of it, and agreed to deliver 1,000 kilograms every year.
She didn't care where Song Changsheng got these goods from, as long as they were delivered on time.
Originally, the price she offered was twenty low-grade spirit stones per pound, but Song Changsheng took the initiative to give her a discount and sold the deal at the lowest price of fifteen low-grade spirit stones.
Shen Qingxiu didn't bother to be polite with him and gave him the spirit stones directly. It was so refreshing.
The first order brought in 75,000 spirit stones, and Song Changsheng was in a good mood, feeling more confident about the upcoming journey.
After leaving Tianyin Mountain, Song Changsheng took the three of them straight to the black market in Luoxia City.
Compared with decades ago, the scale of the black market has obviously expanded a lot, and the variety of goods has really opened the eyes of Song Qingxi and others.
Even Song Changsheng couldn't help but stop and watch sometimes. This black market had gathered countless cultivators from the cultivation world. There were many novel items, but unfortunately, they were of no use to Song Changsheng. He just picked out a few items for each of the younger generation.
When they arrived at the exit and showed Peng Siying's token, the old man guarding the place readily let them pass. In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Gusu cultivation world.
However, this time he did not go to Chixiao City, which borders Tiannan Province and Yunmeng Province, but came directly to "Sifang City", the headquarters of the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce.
There are three cities and twenty-eight states in the Gusu cultivation world. These three cities refer to the bases established by three neutral and powerful forces in the Gusu cultivation world.
This Sifang City is the first of the three cities. It was built by the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce and is located in the heart of Zhongtianzhou. There are at least 100,000 permanent cultivators and even more floating population, because it is the trade center of the entire Gusu and even several surrounding cultivation circles.
Here, there is nothing you can't buy, only things you can't think of.
It is said that the rent of any shop in the city starts from tens of thousands of spirit stones, and those with slightly better locations cost more than 100,000. And you can't rent it just because you want to. Don't even think about it if you don't have certain connections.
Standing under the bronze city wall that is hundreds of feet high, a sense of vicissitudes and grandeur suddenly hits you. This is an ancient city that has existed for nearly ten thousand years and is blessed with many legendary halos.
Although Luoxia City is not much different from it in scale, there is no comparison in terms of foundation.
"What a magnificent city." Song Qingxi exclaimed subconsciously.
"Yes, it is said that this city is completely owned by the Bandung Chamber of Commerce. The rent alone must be an astronomical figure, right?" Song Qingyun was also shocked.
At this moment, Song Changsheng finally understood why there were rumors that there was a Yuanying Zhenjun standing behind the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce. This background was truly terrifying.
This city is just the tip of the iceberg of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce's strength...
