Shangyuque

Chapter 64: War Material Contract Transaction, Qingxifang Horse Racing Event
Seven years is a long time.

But for those who practice cultivation, it is nothing more than the climb to a small realm, the refining of a magic weapon, and the beginning of a war.

Yes, it was just the beginning. During the past seven years, Miaofeng Mountain and Gushen Sect had been fighting each other to their hearts’ content, with no intention of stopping.

Maybe I can’t stop.

The two sides continued to escalate and intensify the conflict, with Gu Shen Zong even reaching the gate of Miaofeng Mountain at one point.

Miaofeng Mountain also sent out invitations to heroes, and with the help of thousands of Qigong practitioners in Hongdengzhao, the battle line was pushed back across the Wolong River.

However, the biggest winner of this war was Wang Xianzhou of the Anbei Wang family.

He killed more than a hundred Qi cultivators in the battle, and also killed a ignorant Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Under the rules and regulations of the Immortal Alliance, Patriarch Xian Zhou taught both Gu Shen Sect and Miao Feng Mountain a lesson with his strength at the peak of Qi training.

Faced with Wang Xianzhou's victory, even if Miaofeng Mountain was unwilling, it had to pay obediently.

But these have nothing to do with Yulou. He has been staying in Qingxifang for seven years.

What he did every day was nothing more than running his own shop, practicing Taoism with Hongmei, and exchanging ideas about cultivation with fellow Taoists. That was all.

In the lobby of Huafengju, a female monk in lotus pink robes pushed the door open and walked in.

Today it was Yu'an's turn to support in the front. He glanced at the person coming and did not move, continuing to sit on the recliner and read.

After hanging out with Yulou for a long time, Yu'an's personality gradually changed from being lively and active to being calm, including the way he is slacking off and reading a book right now, which he learned from Yulou.

Of course, this is only in front of outsiders. In front of his elder brother, Yu'an can always be a carefree boy.

Seeing that Wang Yu'an ignored her, Cuiguo took two steps at a time and stepped forward, knocking the book out of Wang Yu'an's hand.

"Where's your brother?"

Cuiguo asked with a slight anger on her face.

Wang Yu'an was not annoyed. He just commented while shaking his head.

"Fellow Daoist, you have already received the means to die. You must be careful with your words and actions. Do you understand?"

Cuiguo is no longer a chubby little girl. With Zhou Yingxi backing her up, she points at Yu'an with great dignity, stands with her hands on her hips and shouts angrily.

"Don't interrupt, Wang Yu'an. Was there any insider manipulation involved in the Miaofeng Mountain-Gushen Sect war material contract transaction between your brother and the Yang family?

My young lady listened to your brother and bet 2,800 spirit stones, betting that the two sides would be in a stalemate in the next few months and all kinds of contracts would lose value.

Now Miaofeng Mountain pushed the front line back, and Gu Shenzong almost fought a second battle to defend Wolongfang.

This is different from what we agreed. Your brother must give an explanation!"

In the past few years, although Yulou rejected the temptation of marrying into the wife's family, he became friends with Zhou Yingxi, perhaps because they were of the same age.

As for the Miaofengshan-Gushenzong war supplies contract transaction, it is a special futures contract. The main trading categories are the materials commonly needed by cultivators in the Qi training stage to fight, such as the commonly used talismans such as the Flying Fire Talisman, the commonly used elixirs such as the Great Qi Blood Pill and the Opening Spirit Pill, as well as various spiritual materials, etc.

At the beginning, Yulou only used it to help Wang lock in the price of future goods, and make a profit from the profit difference by using Wang Xianzhou, the human bulldozer who could influence the battle line.

For example, on the first day of May, Wang placed an order for ten pieces of ninth-grade purple copper from Wu Jinyan's family. The two parties signed a sales contract. Each piece of purple copper was worth 180 spirit stones, and the delivery date was the first day of July.

But at the same time as the order was placed, Wang Xianzhou on the other side led Wang's team to retreat from the front line to rest.

As a result, the battle line at Miaofeng Mountain immediately became unstable.

In mid-May, Miaofeng Mountain was unable to hold on any longer and had to increase its investment, frantically sending out heroic notices to recruit Qi-cultivating monks. The price of copper immediately jumped by 10% or even more.

The copper contract in Wang's hand increased by ten percent.

Later, Yulou realized that this thing is actually similar to futures, and if used well, it has great potential.

After making sure that Li Haiping, the unlucky guy from Miaofeng Mountain, was determined to open the Purple Mansion no matter how difficult it was, he pushed the Wang family and joined forces with the Yang family to make a big move.

On the surface, the two foundation-building immortal clans sent people to help Miaofeng Mountain stabilize the front line, but secretly they started this special war material contract transaction.

They set up a commodity exchange next to the Treasure Pavilion. On the surface, they sold a large number of goods needed for the war at wholesale prices, but in reality they mainly earned commissions by introducing customers to trading order contracts. Both parties received a lot of money just from the commissions.

The situation is tight on the front line at Miaofeng Mountain, and tight at the back at Qingxifang. We are all colleagues under the same roof, so there is no need to be shy.

"What do you mean it's different from what we agreed on? Don't talk nonsense!

Besides, I have lost a lot recently.

Cuiguo, I didn't make trouble with my brother, did I? "

Faced with this unreasonable master, Yu'an could only fool him.

"You also lost money?" Cuiguo looked at Yu'an suspiciously.

Yu An frowned, turned his head slightly, leaned back, and spoke in Yin and Yang terms.

"Okay, okay, I was wondering why you looked like you had eaten a bomb today.

Yes, how could a person like Fellow Daoist Yingxi get angry over less than three thousand spirit stones.

It must be because you, Cuiguo, secretly bought it that she was so anxious."

Seeing that Yu'an saw through her little thoughts, Cuiguo's face suddenly turned red.

"Don't spit blood at me. Tell me where your brother is. The young lady is looking for him!"

Yu'an jumped up from the chair, said a few words to the waiter, and then looked at Cuiguo.

"Racetrack, let's go. I'll go with you. Today is the Qingxifang Horse Racing Festival, which happens once every March."

Having said that, he walked ahead and went straight out the door.

Looking at Zhou Yingxi at the door, Yu'an felt a little embarrassed.

"Senior Yingxi, long time no see"

Zhou Yingxi was also a little embarrassed, her face slightly tense behind the veil, and she replied in a cold voice.

"Cuiguo has neglected her discipline. Also, Daoist Fellow Yu'an, please don't call me senior."

Yu An is no longer in the age of sexual repression. Facing Zhou Yingxi, who is beautiful even without seeing her face and whose voice has a succubus effect, he easily copes with it. "Two racehorses from the vassal forces of the Sky Snake Sect came to the Qingxi Horse Racing Festival this time. Big Brother and Yang Qi attach great importance to it. He has been at the racecourse all day today."

A strange look flashed in Zhou Yingxi's eyes.

This bastard Wang Yulou is really good at something. The Baibao Pavilion is thriving and making a fortune. The war material contract transactions have attracted the attention of everyone under the Red Lantern Police, and even the ancestor of the Zhou family has been alarmed.

He casually collaborated with Yang to organize a Qingxi horse racing event, which was originally unremarkable.

But now, I don’t know where this bastard got these two racehorses raised by the vassal forces of the Heavenly Snake Sect.

In recent years, many independent cultivators and cultivators from small families near Qingxifang have received heroic invitations from Miaofeng Mountain and went to the front lines of the war between the two sects to serve as fill-in boys.

It can be said that they have a great interest in the Tianshe Sect. Of course, this is not a positive interest.

Yulou found two racehorses from the Tianshe Sect, which was like giving a virgin to an old virgin who had been single for seventy years, and it immediately detonated the volcano in the audience's hearts.

And this is just the most unsuccessful business case of Little Genius.

Seven years have passed, and the once shabby and shabby racecourse has changed its appearance.

A huge wooden and stone structure formed a huge circle, similar to a large stadium, and their tall bodies blocked the view of the freeloaders.

Although Qingxifang has flight restrictions that can prevent cultivators from getting something for free from the sky, if they really want to get something for free, those with spiritual awareness can stand outside and watch.

But generally no one does this, after all, most people still want to save face.

Yu'an considerately bought tickets for Senior Yingxi and the impolite Taoist Cuiguo, and the three of them entered the Qingxifang Racecourse together.

Inside the racecourse, the horse racing track has been completely updated.

Yulou led Baibao Pavilion to cooperate with Yang's family, and invested a full 8,000 spirit stones in Qingxifang horse racing business, accounting for 50% of the shares.

Basically all of these spirit stones were spent on updating the track.

Obstruction arrays, trap arrays, hungry monsters, and various shorter but more difficult paths, these new features have brought the viewing experience of Qingxifang Horse Racing to a new level.

“So many people today?”

Looking at the crowd that almost filled half of the stands, Cuiguo asked in surprise.

Yulou redefined horse racing, but up to now, he has not made back his investment of 8,000 spirit stones.

The stands at the racecourse have never been full before, and this time they were only half full, which is a new high.

Yulou overestimated the financial resources of the monks.

Therefore, he came up with an upgraded event, the Qingxifang Horse Racing Festival, two years ago, just to make spectators willingly pay spirit stones to buy tickets.

"Everyone is here for the two horses from the Sky Snake Sect. In the past, only two or three hundred people would be willing to pay spirit stones for tickets."

Yu'an explained with a smile, but business wasn't actually that bad.

Because those who buy tickets usually gamble a little, the distribution rights of horse racing and betting can help Yulou make money.

For example, the old man in the veterinary medicine shop only paid Yang 200 spirit stones a year.

It’s different now, the price of distribution rights has doubled.

Maybe in another two years, the investment of 8,000 spirit stones that he led would pay off.

However, even so, this was the most unsuccessful investment in Yulou's life.

I was trying to innovate in the business model and almost got myself into trouble.

This also made Yulou realize that many experiences from past lives cannot be simply copied.

After receiving Yu'an's sound transmission note, Yulou quickly rushed over.

"Senior Yingxi, why are you here suddenly?"

Zhou Yingxi said helplessly.

"I've told you several times to call me Daoist friend, why can't you remember?
Isn’t there a horse racing event today? Horse racing is the only interesting thing about Qingxifang, so come and take a look.

We came here suddenly, did we disturb you?"

Mu Chunze came to Qingxifang as a garrison monk, mainly to make it easier for Zhou Yingxi to practice with the spiritual charm of Qinyun Qingxi.

But spiritual energy accumulates slowly but is used up quickly, and Zhou Yingxi is often bored.

"Of course I won't disturb you, Senior Sister, oh, Senior Sister Ning Yao.

She's ready, and the race is about to begin."

Yulou sat next to Yu'an and explained to the others.

As she spoke, Senior Sister Ning Yao appeared on the platform on the second floor of the horse racing preparation area.

"My fellow Daoists, the Qingxifang Horse Racing Festival, held once every March, is now beginning, and the first part will be the horse racing demonstration.

The first one is the Blue Qilin, a high-level Miscellaneous Demon Realm, and has won first place twice!"

After Wang's family acquired a stake in the racecourse, the position of host of the horse racing competition was changed from the old man Yang Qi to the young and beautiful Zhong Ningyao.

Yulou couldn't accept it. It was ridiculous to let an old man be the host.

As Zhong Ningyao finished her words, Qing Qilin rushed out of the horse racing preparation area impatiently and began to show himself on the track.

It held its head high and easily overcame many difficulties on the track. Even when being chased by the Iron-Bone Wolf, it ran very calmly.

As miscellaneous monsters, these green horses are all intelligent.

Qing Qilin, who was performing seriously, knew that now was no longer the era for the Yang family to control the situation.

If it wins, shareholder Wang Yulou is really willing to give rewards.

Soon, as the racehorses were displayed one after another, the two racehorses from the Sky Snake Sect were about to appear.
