Shangyuque

Chapter 70: That’s it. Many people want to kneel but there’s no way they can do it!

Once, when Yulou first heard about the differentiated arrangement strategy for Wang's children, he was quite skeptical about keeping the top-notch children at home.

Isn’t a big sect good? Why send those with less talent to the sect and keep the most talented ones at home?

Now, the Red Lantern Sect Leader's edict in his hand is the best example to answer this question.

The red lanterns illuminate tens of thousands of disciples, and the sect stretches across the northwest of Wunan's immortal cultivation world, with a territory of several million miles.

In the sect, there are dozens of Purple Mansion Great Masters and Golden Core True Men, divided into more than a dozen large and small factions.

In this case, a person with a shallow foundation who joins the sect is nothing more than a consumable for the high-level cultivators of the big clan.

Even for those who have perseverance and work hard to accumulate in the sect, the path to advancement is extremely difficult.

As Gao Jian said, he is bad, but isn’t persistent badness also a kind of perseverance?

But he can only be a dog for the true monks. Called a monk, how is he different from a Taoist slave?
As a vassal of the Hong Dengzhao Mangxiang lineage, the Wang family usually paid tribute, but the tribute came with a reward.

For example, the edict from the head of the sect that we have just received, and the fact that the Wang family has had many long-term business dealings with the Red Lantern.

Through the quota of inner disciples awarded by patronage, the children of the Wang family can avoid the process of being ordered around by the red lanterns and directly join the inner sect.

The significance of keeping the best children at home is that the benefits that the family obtains from the sect through the vassal relationship can be used to train some core disciples, such as Yulou and Yu'an, in a limited way, so that they can get the best training before they build their foundation.

They stayed in the clan, and the exploitation they suffered was almost non-existent until they reached a certain level of cultivation.

To be precise, it is not exploitation at all.

Having enjoyed the protection of the family, one naturally has to make contributions so that the family can prosper and continue.

Of course there will be ungrateful people who will realize their own ambitions at the expense of the family foundation. There have certainly been such evil deeds in the history of the Wang family, but there are not many of them.

Moreover, people's hearts are like waves, and if you act too independently, no one will be convinced.

No matter how powerful Mang Xiang is, doesn't he need a group of people to support him so that he can achieve the Golden Elixir step by step?

Now, with the order from Anthony Wong, the leader of the Red Lantern Club, he gave Wang a large sum of money. Although it was a waste of Red Lantern Club's money, Wang was indeed well fed.

No matter how good the expected future profits of Dahuofang are, we still have to consider whether we can protect them. Yulou knows too well the difference between expected profits and actual benefits.

In fact, Wang’s profit was not a small one, but a big one.

just
"Chief, we received this decree from the head of the sect. Shouldn't we express our gratitude?"

Giving rebates and tea for winning a big order is a courtesy, and Yulou will certainly not forget it.

Wang Xianmao smiled and shook his head.

"You are quite clever, little brat. Of the fifty-two thousand spirit stones, fifty thousand will be given to Master Xuan Zhuan and two thousand will be given to Taoist Qiu Sheng."

It turned out that it was Xuan Zhuan who pushed for this matter. In this case, it was no surprise that the scale of the matter was so huge, but Yulou was still a little frightened by Xuan Zhuan's appetite.

Fifty thousand spirit stones, given generously by Hong Dengzhao, and accepted even more generously by Xuan Zhuan, who was in charge of the case.

It feels like 70% of it belongs to someone else. Perhaps in the eyes of real people, 50,000 spirit stones are nothing.

Seeing Yulou's face change, Wang Xianmao explained in a gentle voice.

“Yulou, you don’t know that the value of this bottle of Spiritual Marrow Cleansing Pill far exceeds 50,000 Spiritual Stones, and this pill was made by a master of alchemy at the Foundation Establishment stage, so it has long been out of stock.

It just so happens that our Wang family needs this elixir, so Jing Yi specially asked Xuan Zhuan Zhenren to facilitate this matter."

It’s not that Xuan Zhuan was too greedy, but that the real person helped a lot.

The model innovation of Dahuofang is extremely valuable under the high level of red light, which is also the fundamental reason why Anthony Wong specially issued a leader's decree.

But how and why this value should be realized is not up to Wang to say.

Xuan Zhuan got the much-needed Spirit Cleansing Veins Pill for Wang, which was actually a help in directly drawing the guaranteed gold card, directly catching Mewtwo, and pointing out which scratch-off lottery ticket had the grand prize.

To put it bluntly, no matter how rare the Foundation Establishment Pill is, no matter how useful the top-grade spiritual weapon is, no matter how scarce the places for inner disciples are.

For Wang, these are things that he can slowly figure out on his own, or find someone to do it for him.

But the Spirit Marrow Cleansing Veins Pill is the kind that the Wang family can’t even get even if they want to!

Especially now that a great war is about to begin, these elixirs that repair meridians and the foundation of Taoism should be used as little as possible.

It is difficult for the quantity of alchemy materials to have a breakthrough growth per unit time, and the expected growth in demand is very high, so the price of Lingsui Ximai Pill will only get higher and higher.

So, after considering all these, the amount of Xuan Zhuan is actually not that much.

He is already a Purple Mansion True Man, isn't it reasonable for him to accept a bribe of 50,000 spirit stones from you?
How do you say that.

That’s it. How many people want to kneel but can’t do it?

"Could it be that Patriarch Xian Zhou's injuries can be cured with this pill?" Yulou asked.

Wang Xianzhou was once a genius of the Wang family. He became famous at a young age and later joined the Red Lantern Society. He won all the way in the selection of walking immortals and became a walking immortal by relying on his own strength.

If his Tao foundation had not been damaged, he would definitely be able to build it, and after building it, he might be stronger than the current Wang Xianmao.

Although Wang Xianmao has supernatural powers, Wang Xianzhou is an existence that can stand firm in the immortal alliance where many heroes gather. The upper limits of the two are incomparable.

But these possibilities, this bright future, these things that belonged to Wang Xianzhou, now have nothing to do with him.

Yulou had seen with her own eyes how Patriarch Xianzhou did not dare to look at his old lover.

That day, Wang Xianzhou's mind was in a state of confusion, and even Yu'an could see it.

How could the younger generations like Yulou and Yu'an not feel sad?

If the Spirit Marrow Cleansing Veins Pill can cure the injuries of Patriarch Xian Zhou, then the Wang family will soon have another foundation-building person.

Considering Patriarch Xian Zhou’s age, he may not be able to extend his life for too long after building his foundation, but he will definitely live over 200 years at least.

And with his fighting ability, it was as easy for him to defeat the likes of Wang Xianzhou, Tie Qie He, and Wu Jinyan after he had established his foundation.

"Xian Zhou, Xian Zhou, hey, he has used elixirs that are better than the Spiritual Marrow Cleansing Pill. This Spiritual Marrow Cleansing Pill is for Rong Yuan. In addition, if there is chaos in the future, it would be better for the clan to prepare more Spiritual Marrow Cleansing Pills."

Wang Xianmao also felt helpless towards his younger brother.

If the Wang family members are not sent to the most dangerous places to be tempered, how can they be sculpted into useful people?
But once it is sent, there are always unexpected events.

"Uncle Rong Yuan? Uncle Rong Yuan is injured?"

Yulou immediately became worried.

Monster hunting in the West Sea is the best way out for low-level cultivators. When there is no large-scale war, it is the only fair way for Wunan to ascend.

It sounds good, but it is also raising poison. The Immortal Alliance sends over the cultivators in waves.

However, among the Wang family members who went to the West Sea to hunt monsters throughout the generations, only more than half returned. Those who did not return were all killed by the monsters.

"Yes, but it's very minor. He just needs to take care of himself. Now that he has the Spiritual Marrow Cleansing Pill, his injury won't even affect his foundation building."

Wang Rongyuan lost half of his shoulder and an arm. It sounds like a serious injury, but for a cultivator, this kind of injury is just ordinary.

"By the way, Yulou, the headmaster's decree instructed our Wang family to make arrangements with the Elders' Hall of the Red Lantern Merchant House for the handover of the large goods shop.

This shop is run by you, and you are the only one who knows how it operates.

When I talked with Mu Chunze, we decided that you would be responsible for the handover. The Elders' Hall of the Shangfang will send several foundation-building monks over tomorrow morning.

Open the door early tomorrow and think about how to make a smooth handover.

We have received the reward of the Red Lantern, so we naturally need to do our best, otherwise, we will lose the face of the Xuanzhuan Patriarch, remember?"

Yulou originally wanted to ask about Wang Rongyuan's injuries, but after hearing what the clan leader said, he didn't dare to ask anything else.

"Yulou understands, but after the Dahuofang is handed over to the sect, will it continue to operate in Qingxifang?"

Changing the subject was useful, but Yulou's question aroused Wang Xianmao's interest.

"You mean, let's open another one?"

I have to say that Yulou’s idea is very bold, quite bold.

The Red Lantern Society took away the assets of their vassal families and small clans, and after giving them compensation, the acquired parties would open a new business and continue operating it.

Regarding this matter, first of all, Wang Xianmao made sure that it did not violate any regulations.

The interests in the Red Light are complex, and many people do similar things. The sect cannot and is unwilling to control them.

With numerous factions, the Red Light Police has complex governance decision-making bodies, and the governance efficiency is sharply reduced outside the rules.

Small clans and vassal families are themselves buffer zones outside the rules and above the order, responsible for helping the Red Lantern General to extend the tentacles of his rule to every corner of the territory.

The relationship between the two parties is not simply that of superiors and subordinates. Although the operating model is complex, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

In other words, as long as Wang is strong enough, she can do it boldly.

"If conditions do not allow, we can start a new business and stop operating in Qingxifang and switch to another market."

Wang Xianmao is certain that Yulou’s suggestion is very practical.

After thinking for a moment, he made the decision.

"Don't do anything for the next few years. There's no rush. Let's wait and see."

Wang's unique strategy of keeping one hand steady and waiting and watching.

Yulou nodded and brought up another matter.

"Patriarch, did he tell you about Hongmei's foundation-building?"

The patriarch was stunned for a moment.

This was the second time Yulou brought up this matter to him.

Last time, he gave Yulou a reason and fooled her temporarily, because at that time Wang Xianmao did not think that Yulou was qualified to discuss such family affairs.

But now the situation has changed. Although Yulou's cultivation is not high, his contribution to the clan is greater than that of most mid-level Qi training cultivators.

With the model innovation of Dahuofang as a foundation, some high-level Qigong practitioners with little experience are no match for Yulou.

Now Wang Yulou has gained his well-deserved status with the victory he won, and even Wang Xianmao has to take his ideas seriously.

This time Yulou brought up the matter of Hongmei again, so he naturally couldn't fool her.

“If you want Hongmei to build a foundation, of course you can, but we need to wait until more of our Wang family’s direct descendants have built their foundations.

At least two more, what do you think?"

Wang Xianmao knew that Yulou was a man of deep thoughts. He asked Hongmei about building the foundation because he actually wanted to establish his own authority and faction in the small Wang family.

Wang Xianmao actually had no ill feelings towards Yulou's ambition.

Cultivating immortality, cultivating immortality, before becoming an immortal, one cannot do without human affairs.

There are too many things that require someone to do well.

Apart from anything else, the Ning family of Huishan Prefecture was forced to merge with the Gu Shen family and become shareholders of the Gu Shen Sect because they had no one left.

But how can small shareholders compare with large shareholders?
Only Ning herself understood the warmth and coldness of it.

Even if a cultivator has achieved the Golden Elixir, he still needs to build up his own power.

After all, no matter how powerful a monk is, he can't do everything by himself, right?

When Mangxiang achieved the Golden Elixir, his two disciples with the Purple Mansion cultivation level ran around to support him, and the entire faction was mobilized to support him. This is also an example.

Yulou is so young now, but he understands the importance of gathering people and strength. The clan leader is naturally happy to see it happen.

　There is another update, which will be available tomorrow.
