The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

“My specific plan is this.

Although I have successfully entered the Golden Core Realm, there is still one thing I need to do, which is to change my practice method.

I estimate that this will take about five years, so I decided to hold the Golden Elixir Ceremony in seven years.

Since my Xu family can be considered a Jindan family, we should be able to invite many high-level cultivators to participate. So I plan to hold this auction in Taoyuan Market.

I believe that with a fifth-grade elixir as the finale, this auction will definitely cause a sensation.

And although it is called an auction, in my imagination, it can be held as a large-scale event that integrates communication and exchange. At that time, thousands of spiritual creatures will gather together, and the number of monks that can be attracted will definitely not be small.

In order to thank you all for your help, I plan to have the auction jointly held by my Xu family, Taiyang Tower, and Gao family. What do the three shopkeepers and fellow Taoist Gao think? "

After Xu Zhiyu finished speaking, he stared at the few people. This was the way he came up with to repay them, and it was a well-thought-out way.

First of all, let’s take the three people from Taiyang Tower as an example. As the shopkeepers of a branch, they must have task targets every year. If they fail to complete them, it will have a great impact on the salary they can receive.

Originally, with the scale of Xu's Taoyuan Market, there was no need for a Jindan cultivator to be in charge. The reason for this situation was that Venerable Mu Wei made a special arrangement to repay him.

In recent years, there are not many high-level cultivators who visit Taoyuan Market. After all, the spiritual veins in the market are only of the third-grade upper grade.

Even if the Jindan cultivators wanted to settle down, their spiritual energy level could not keep up. They couldn't prepare their own high-level spirit gathering formation and use mid-grade spirit stones to practice like the Jindan in Taiyang Tower, right?

Therefore, most of the people who usually patronize the Taiyang Tower branch in Taoyuanfang City are cultivators with the Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment level or something like that. This results in them not being able to earn any spirit stones in a year, and not having to spend a lot of them. Fortunately, the Taiyang Tower is a large and powerful company, otherwise it would have been dragged down long ago.

Therefore, the holding of this large-scale auction is likely to help reverse this situation. As long as high-level monks are attracted and they know that there is such a powerful Taiyang Tower branch here, they will definitely patronize it again in the future.

Moreover, Taiyang Tower will definitely benefit more from the joint hosting of the three auctions, because when holding a large-scale auction, all kinds of rare and precious spiritual objects are the top priority, and the Xu family, a newly promoted Jindan family, will definitely not be able to produce anything good.

Although the Gao family was wealthy in the past, it is no longer so now. Even if the family treasury is searched, it may not be possible to find many fourth-level spiritual objects.

Therefore, the supply of spiritual objects at the auction mainly depends on Taiyang Tower. I dare not say that it accounts for 90%, but it definitely accounts for 80%.

With the help of the attraction of the fifth-level elixir, there will definitely be no less than a hundred Jindan cultivators coming by then, and they will definitely be able to make a fortune then.

Do you think it's just earning spirit stones? Actually, it's not. For Jindan cultivators like Li and his two companions, the key to whether they can make further progress in Taiyang Tower lies mainly in their performance and contribution to the branch.

For Gao Jianan, Xu Zhiyu's proposal was very tempting. There was no need to say much about the auction. Their family was now on the decline and basically could not produce anything good.

However, they were still very interested in the exchange meeting before the auction. The most prominent problem for the Gao family's decline in recent years was financial problems.

Their family was established based on formations, and they produce countless formations of various levels every year. When the family was powerful in the past, customers would come to them on their own initiative. In addition, they had a number of Purple Mansion Foundation-building affiliated forces under their command at that time, so there was no trouble selling formations, and sometimes they would even be in short supply.

But since the family's decline, the territory under the family's jurisdiction has been shrinking, and the formations produced by the family have gradually become unsalable.

Moreover, this problem became more and more serious as time went by, until in recent years, the fourth-level formations produced by their family could no longer be sold.

Faced with this situation, the family's top leaders have thought of many ways, that is, to run around to promote the formations produced by their family, such as reaching cooperation with large stores in various Jindan markets and letting them sell the formations produced by their family on their behalf.

However, the effect of this approach was not obvious. Although Gao Wushuang, the current head of the Gao family, had been running around selling the family's fourth-level formation since he formed the golden elixir, the effect was minimal.

But this auction is different. As one of the organizers, the Gao family will not only take more high-level formations produced by the family as auction items, but will also be able to vigorously promote their own formations to the monks participating in the auction at the exchange meeting.

By then, as long as a few of the forces from various state capitals that come to participate in the auction are willing to reach a cooperation agreement with the Gao family, they will make a fortune.

And the benefits don't stop there. As the initiator of the auction, the Gao family is qualified to recommend forces to participate in the exchange meeting, and these can be used as favors.

He believed that as long as he spread the news that he was holding a large-scale auction and that the Gao family was one of the organizers, visitors would trample down the gate of their family.

As for other people questioning the news he released, that is also easy to solve. Isn't there the great god Taiyang Tower standing here?

The two deputy managers of Taiyang Tower, who had figured out the key points, and Gao Jianan of the Gao family all smiled and nodded continuously. Naturally, they agreed with Xu Zhiyu's suggestion.

But it was different for Shopkeeper Li. Although he should have been very happy to hear this news, he just frowned and lowered his head, thinking about something.

All of this naturally could not be hidden from Xu Zhiyu's observation, and he asked with a smile:

"Shopkeeper Li doesn't seem to agree with my proposal?"

"Uh, no! I am also very tempted by your suggestion.

To be honest with you, the headquarters is not satisfied with our branch's performance in recent years. This large-scale auction is a great opportunity I have always dreamed of. How could they not agree? I fully agree.

I was just thinking about a problem, so I was distracted. I hope you can forgive me?"

After hearing this, Xu Zhiyu became even more curious and asked:

"Can you tell me what the problem is? We can help you figure it out."

He guessed that Shopkeeper Li must be thinking about something related to the auction, so he asked.

"Just now, Fellow Daoist Xu said that this auction will be held in the Xu family's Taoyuan Market, right?"

"Yes, does Shopkeeper Li have a better choice?"

Xu Zhiyu asked back. In his opinion, there was nothing to say about this question. The auction and his Golden Elixir Ceremony were held in conjunction with each other. If not in Xu's Taoyuan Market, where else could it be held?

We can't hold it in Gaojia Market, which is more than 100,000 miles away, right? Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse? "Actually, I also think it would be best to hold it in Taoyuan Market."

So what do you mean? It's almost confusing. This is the inner monologue of Gao Jianan and the two deputy managers of Taiyanglou.

However, after Xu Zhiyu's reminder, he understood a little, and asked tentatively:
"Does Manager Li mean that the current Taoyuan Market is not good enough to hold such a large auction?"

His words hit the nail on the head. Shopkeeper Li nodded repeatedly and replied:

“This is exactly what I was thinking about just now. The spiritual vein level of the market town is only the third-grade upper grade. When a large-scale auction is held, there will be many Jindan cultivators coming, and there may even be Yuanying cultivators.

A third-tier spiritual vein is too shabby. I mean it would be best if it could be upgraded to a fourth-tier, lower-quality spiritual vein in the next few years."

"This"

After listening to this suggestion, Xu Zhiyu fell into deep thought. Shopkeeper Li's consideration was undoubtedly correct. The level of the third-order spirit vein was a bit too low and indeed a bit shabby.

If the Xu family upgrades the spiritual vein level of the market town to the fourth level, the cultivators who come here to participate in the auction will definitely be impressed.

Taoyuanfang City has a very advantageous geographical location, as it is located right on the road leading to the Hengduan Mountains. If it could take advantage of this opportunity to spread its fame.

In the future, the Jindan monks passing by here will definitely regard this place as a supply purchasing point and patronize it frequently. At that time, the business of the market will surely be extremely good.

But now there is a very serious problem facing the Xu family, that is, the family now has no spirit stones.

In order to upgrade the spiritual vein on the family mountain, the Xu family lived frugally for more than ten years. With the help of 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones and 50 high-grade spiritual stones provided by Xu Zhiyu, the upgrade was finally completed with great difficulty.

Now you tell me to do it again. It's not that the Xu family doesn't want to do it, it's just that it can't do it. Too many spirit stones are needed. We can't just stop the salaries of everyone in the family and then take out the spirit stones, right?

Not to mention that this cannot be done, even if it is done, the gap is still huge.

"Shopkeeper Li, to be honest, your suggestion is very good. I am also very aware of the many benefits of upgrading the spiritual vein level in the market. However, our Xu family upgraded the family spiritual vein a few years ago and replaced the family protection formation. We really don't have that many spirit stones."

Xu Zhiyu smiled bitterly and said, in fact, there is a way. Let's not mention anything else. Just those fifth- and sixth-level spiritual medicines in his storage ring, if he takes out a few of them and auctions them, he can easily raise enough spirit stones.

But he didn't dare take those out. The few plants he took out just now had already aroused suspicion from Manager Li and others.

If he dared to take out all the remaining ones, he couldn't guarantee that someone would not take risks for these priceless elixirs and kill him first and then wipe out the entire Xu family.

Who is Shopkeeper Li? He is a very smart person. He naturally knows that the Xu family cannot come up with so many spirit stones at once. But since he asked, he must have made some preparations.

"If Brother Xu is worried about spirit stones, there is no need to worry." Shopkeeper Li said meaningfully.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Are you planning to lend me some spiritual stones?"

"Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. How can I come up with such a huge amount of spirit stones? I wonder if you still remember that the last time you came to the Taiyang Tower branch to find me, you used a traceless flower as collateral for the fourth-level lower-grade clan protection formation?"

"Of course I remember. What is the value of that spiritual medicine? Has it been auctioned off?"

Xu Zhiyu asked curiously. Although she knew the value of the unknown grade of the spiritual medicine, she knew that it could easily be used to offset a fourth-grade low-grade formation.

Gao Jianan and the other two were very familiar with Wuhenhua's name, so they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully. However, to their disappointment, Shopkeeper Li had no intention of making it public, but instead started to transmit the message to Xu Zhiyu.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I took your traceless flower and went to the headquarters in person. I found a fifth-rank high-quality alchemist to check it. Who knew that he was shocked when he saw it.

He said that the Wuhen Flower that is currently circulating in the world of immortal cultivation is not the real Wuhen Flower, but the product of the hybridization of the ancient Wuhen Flower and a magical medicine called Zhuyan Flower.

According to him, the real Traceless Flower is basically extinct, and there may only be a few left in the medicine gardens of the super powers in Zuzhou.

This kind of elixir was the main ingredient for refining longevity elixirs in ancient times. We also happened to have the elixir formula in our Taiyang Tower, so the fifth-rank alchemy master was overjoyed when he got this elixir.

This matter even alarmed a deputy building owner who was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage. He finally decided to sell Wuhenhua for 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones. I brought all these spirit stones back intact and will hand them over to you when you come out of retreat."

Xu Zhiyu was shocked when he heard this. Three hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones for a spiritual medicine sounded like a fairy tale to him.

"Friend Li, are you guys mistaken? Is it thirty thousand middle-grade spirit stones?"

“That’s right, it’s 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones, don’t think this price is outrageous, fellow Daoist.

I heard from a senior fifth-rank top-grade alchemist in the building that the elixir made from this spiritual herb can increase the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator by six generations, or three hundred and sixty years.

Moreover, they could make more than one longevity pill. A master alchemist like them could make at least five pills.

After these five longevity pills are refined, they will definitely cause those Nascent Soul cultivators whose life spans are about to run out to scramble for them. Maybe the value of one pill can be sold for 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones. "

After this explanation, Xu Zhiyu finally realized that he had underestimated the spiritual herbs and medicines he brought out from the sealed space, and the value of these things should be re-estimated.

Now that the biggest difficulty had been solved, he took out fifty high-quality spirit stones from his storage ring and gave them to Shopkeeper Li, authorizing him to be responsible for upgrading the spiritual veins of the market town.

In order to intimidate Gao Jianan and the two deputy managers of Taiyang Tower and prevent them from talking nonsense outside the Xu family.

He directly used the tiger's skin as a banner and told them that these fifth-grade precious elixirs were specially picked by Venerable Mu Wei, the Venerable Huashen, and asked them to keep it a secret.

This frightened the three of them, and they nodded and swore to keep the secret. Since it involved a Divine Transformation cultivator, they had no choice but to do so. (End of this chapter)
