Fox Demon: Live Long and Grow into a Taoist Master

Chapter 81 Xiao Wancheng's Bull Head Plan
"Ahem!" Wang Quan Baiye's unnatural dry coughs interrupted everyone's thoughts:

"Don't you think the three people in the picture look familiar?"

Even though the photo stone lacks sound effects.

But perhaps the male and female protagonists were too involved.

Or maybe the photographer is very skilled.

They can automatically imagine the dubbing for every action in this picture.

Those three faces were also extremely clear.

And extremely familiar.

"As expected, Master Rong's business is fair and honest."

"These thirty thousand taels are worth it!"

Li Quzhuo couldn't help but sigh.

I felt that I had wronged the little boy.

This information is indeed worth the price.

But... isn't that a bit too much?

Now it seems like everyone on the street has one, and they are all buying and selling it to each other.

This is almost spawning an entire industry chain.

"Ahem, Boss, what should we do next? Are we still going to take care of the Xiao family's affairs?"

"These people are so disgusting. My second uncle and his niece-in-law... and a housekeeper from another family?"

"Helping this kind of person makes me want to vomit...yue" Li Quzhuo said, and even retched a little.

The fragrant tea in front of me, at this moment, seemed to be... indescribably confused.

The rest of the people were not much better than him.

Everyone looked at their noses and their hearts, obviously not wanting to care anymore.

"Just wait and see what happens."

Wang Quanbaye spoke lightly.

But those who know him know that he doesn't want to get involved anymore.

Or in other words... take care of it after the fact.

……

"How's it going? Have they all been sent out?"

"That's right. This young master is only responsible for a mere 3,000 photo stones. Isn't that a piece of cake?"

“Haha, are you sure it’s you who sells well, not me who takes good pictures?”

"Stop talking nonsense. Is this kind of thing worth showing off?"

"That's true. Two wretched men, and one... Never mind. Let's not talk about it. It's an eyesore."

"Don't change the subject. Let's split it 50-50. Where's the money?"

"Oh my god, Master Rong, are you kidding me? Three thousand copies of the Photo Stone."

"Even if there's a discount on the wholesale price, that's still a full 600,000 taels of silver! My academy's finances are almost empty..."

"Ok?"

The little fox demon narrowed his eyes, and light green demonic power flowed.

Gave someone a death stare.

"How about this, we split the profits 50-50, but the academy needs to open its business in Tushan... just ignore what I said."

The corners of Bai Shi's mouth twitched, but under Tushan Rongrong's "death stare".

Still defeated.

Take out the silver notes obediently and put them together with the same total amount.

Then distribute evenly.

Although the amount is similar, Bai Shi is actually at a slight disadvantage.

But it doesn't matter, even though the investment is 600,000 taels of silver, the cost is a bit high.

But the harvest is also good.

It is comparable to the current total monthly income of the college.

Of course, the photo stones given to ordinary cultivators naturally could not be priced at the same sky-high price of thirty thousand taels as Li Quzhuo's.

Bai Shi estimated that this was a dark little fox demon.

This result is because the "face-touching fee" has been taken into account.

"The average price of one thousand taels per piece is three million taels. If we split it 50-50, there will be one and a half million left. After deducting the cost, there will be nine hundred thousand taels left."

Okay.

These nine hundred thousand taels should be enough for the Northern Territory Academy to increase its investment in its disciples.

There is also this noble family, and Tushan Rongrong's "robbing the rich to help the poor" everywhere.

All in all, he harvested about five million taels of silver.

Bai Shi was not vague and basically left everything to the academy.

The further time goes by, the smaller the role of money becomes.

Just like Bai Shi who robbed his way here.

The good things in the treasure house are never clearly priced.

Even if it is a top-grade magic weapon, it is priceless.

So Shiraishi doesn't feel bad about spending some money to train his own team.

On the contrary, as these people grow up, the speed at which they plunder resources will only get faster and faster.

Tushan Rongrong was also counting on an abacus, and the smile in her eyes, which had just opened, disappeared again.

Clearly in a good mood.

"You can earn five million taels of silver in just one trip. Brother Bai, you are really a disaster. Rongrong likes you so much."

"You can remove the first sentence, thank you."

Bai Shi was determined to open an academy in Tushan.

Otherwise, I would be unworthy of this guy's evaluation of myself as a "disaster".

"Speaking of which, the Mask's arrival wasn't something you expected, was it? Do you want to continue?"

"Of course, the worst that can happen is we can just run away. We've already got several Thousand Mile Chasing Talismans along the way, so it wouldn't be that easy to run away, right?"

"6!"

"So what we're going to do next is wait, right?"

"Well, let's wait near the Xiao family's treasure house."

"When the Xiao family is in chaos and Xiao Wancheng attacks the two powerful demon kings, we will start to act."

……

In fact, the speed of news transmission was faster than Bai Shi and Tushan Rongrong had imagined.

Even though Blue Sky City is under the control of the Xiao family.

No one dared to say anything to the Xiao family.

But...how to say it, eating melons is really human nature.

It has been like this for thousands of years.

In fact, many people in history died from eating melons.

The person who was curious about eating melons.

After having a good meal, I felt like I had spent too much money and was at a loss.

Naturally, you will "make it up" to others.

Sell ​​the "drama" at a slightly lower price.

Then the cycle continues...

As a result, the "photo stone" industry chain has flourished.

It has almost become a small "industrial chain".

The three thousand Image Stones kept changing hands, and soon...

It came into Xiao Wancheng's hands.

"Damn it, these damned bastards, bastards!"

"How dare you! How dare you!"

"I will tear you into pieces!"

Looking at the "enchanting dance" of the two men and one woman in the palm of his hand.

And the various "dubbings" in my ears, which I don't know whether they are real or just made up in my imagination.

Xiao Wancheng's old face turned green with anger and his skin twitched.

The aura of a peak-level great demon king surged forth endlessly.

The entire hall was shaking, as if it would be blown away by this powerful aura at any time.

But after a few seconds, the elderly man felt his vision go dark and his head felt dizzy.

His breathing was as rapid as if he were pulling a bellows.

He shook his body three times before he regained his footing with the help of the servants, and slowly sat down to the position of the head of the family.

His face was pale and it took him a long time to recover.

This is the sorrow of human monks.

No matter how powerful your cultivation is, you will suffer from old age, weak body, declining Qi and blood, and serious loss of vital energy.

Combat effectiveness will decline significantly.

Don’t think that Xiao Wancheng, the Great Demon King, seems to be an obscure person at his peak.

But if he didn't have a top-level magic weapon, he might be beaten to death by the middle or late stage demons of the Great Demon King.

"Father, what should we do?"

"Do you want to arrest Second Uncle?" A shy male voice sounded from below.

Officially the second son of the Xiao family, Xiao Tianhao.

"This..." Xiao Wancheng's face looked ugly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he thought of a lot...

No wonder I used to think Xiao Tianling didn’t look like me.

That amount of fat wouldn't be this exaggerated even if it was a genetic mutation.

The relationship is not a biological one at all... Then the question arises, about the "son" below.

Is he really pure-blood?

"No, bear with it for now."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Wancheng's eyes.

At present, apart from him, there are only two powerful demon kings in the Xiao family.

One is the second uncle Xiao Yan, and the other is the housekeeper Cao De.

It is considered relatively weak in the Taoist Alliance.

If I were to kill him now.

Those two people's dying counterattack, I might...

Thinking of the two sickly demon king masters from the Taoist Alliance who were unlikely to live long.

Ambition appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Wancheng gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Spread the word. A city-wide wanted order is being issued for anyone who sells the photo stones and spreads rumors, ruining the reputation of our Xiao family."

"Anyone who provides clues that are confirmed to be true will receive a reward of 5,000 taels!"

Five thousand taels of gold is almost fifty thousand taels of silver.

It was just a piece of information, even for the wealthy Xiao family.

It can be considered a big deal.

Spread rumors? Defame?
Xiao Tianhao blinked. Did he make a mistake?
But... isn't it impossible to fake a photo stone?
Never mind, whatever father says must be right.

I must have not understood the "true meaning" of it.

Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding.

"Yes! Father!"

……

Right in Blue Sky City, including the mask hidden in the dark.

Everyone was waiting to see the Xiao family make a fool of themselves.

The third day...

"What? A city-wide wanted order for anyone who damages the Xiao family's reputation? Anyone who buys the photo stone must pay the Xiao family a huge compensation?"

"Oh my god, is that old bastard Xiao trying to make me laugh? Does the Xiao family still have a good reputation?"

"You're leaving the culprit alone and making things difficult for us?"

"To use a saying that's circulating in Blue Sky City right now, of the entire Xiao family, only the stone lions in front of the gate are relatively clean. Is this old thief Xiao crazy?"

"That's right, brother. Is Xiao Wancheng lying to avoid damaging the Xiao family's foundation?"

"Indeed, he's so shameless that he can even tolerate being green-hatted. How cruel."

A group of masked people are waiting in a restaurant.

At this moment, he was also stunned by Xiao Wancheng's actions.

Anyone with a little common sense of cultivation knows this.

It is impossible to fake a photo stone.

But... knowing that it was true, Xiao Wancheng still managed to hold his nose and endure the humiliation.

Even now he has come out to "clarify".

"Unexpected, but... very Xiao Wancheng."

Wang Quan Baiye narrowed his eyes. He had never taken Xiao Wancheng seriously before.

In his opinion, this old guy is just an average fighter.

A sinister person who relies on others for power.

What these swordsmen hate most are those guys who have no skills but are constantly scheming.

but now……

I really have some admiration for Wang Quanheye.

In order not to damage the overall strength of the Xiao family, he actually suppressed it forcibly. In any case, he would definitely not be able to tolerate it.

"Boss, do you think this matter will just be over?"

"Well, these past few days have been wasted. I'm pretty good at impersonating those two thieves."

"Not necessarily." Wang Quan Baiye narrowed his eyes and scanned the city below, as if looking for where Bai Shi might be hiding.

"Those two thieves have worked so hard to prepare for so long, they will definitely not return empty-handed."

……

On the other side, they were hiding around the treasure house.

Bai Shi and Tushan Rongrong, who were ready to break in at any time, looked at each other in surprise.

"It seems your plan failed?"

"That Xiao Wancheng doesn't buy it at all."

"Yes, he is indeed a ruthless person, Langmie. He can tolerate this."

The corner of Shiraishi's mouth twitched.

According to his thinking, at this moment, the three powerful demon kings of the Xiao family.

The fighting should have already started.

They took the opportunity to sneak into the treasury and extort money.

But no one expected that Xiao Wancheng would do this in order not to damage the overall strength of the Xiao family.

I can tolerate this kind of thing...

At this moment, Xiao Wancheng's sense of danger rose to another level in his mind.

If this guy knew that the entire Tianxian Academy in the Northern Territory was actually "tricked" by him.

that……

But you, Xiao Wancheng, can tolerate it, but Xiao Yan and Cao De may not be able to tolerate it.

Today, your Xiao family will not live in peace.

……

At night, Xiao Yan and Cao De, who had gathered together, were ready to strike first.

After receiving the news from outside, I felt relieved.

"Hahaha, Lao Cao, what did I say? My nephew has that kind of temper. He's generous and magnanimous."

"How can a mere woman compare to the uncle-nephew relationship I've had with you for so many years?"

"Believe it or not, as long as I speak now, he will immediately and obediently send his niece-in-law to me."

"The Great Elder is right." Butler Cao said with a flattering look on his face.

"It is thanks to the great elder's guidance that the current head of the Xiao family has such a virtuous character."

"Hahaha, you're right, kid!"

There was undisguised sarcasm on their faces.

But after returning to the room.

A fat corpse on the ground immediately attracted their attention.

"This is... Xiao Tianling?"

"No..." Xiao Yan thought of something and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He glanced calmly at Cao De, whose face was gradually becoming gloomy.

The latter was holding a piece of paper in his hand. Xiao Yan glanced at the words on it, and his eyes kept twitching.

Enough!

The next moment, a slightly sharp voice resounded through the night sky:

"Xiao Wancheng!"

"I, Cao De, swear to kill you!"

……

Late at night, the sky brightened.

Three powerful waves of magical power rose into the sky.

The torrents of spells collided violently, strong winds raged, and air waves swept across.

Radiating endless light and heat.

The clouds in the sky were dispersed, revealing the frosty white moonlight.

It also woke up the people who were sleeping soundly.

They looked in shock at the three "meteors" colliding wildly above their heads.

"What's going on? Is there a demon invasion?"

"How is it possible? This is Blue Sky City, the heartland of the Dao Alliance, and the territory of the top aristocratic Xiao family. Which monster is tired of living and dares to come here?"

"Look, are there people among those meteors in the sky above the Xiao family?"

"Could it be... the Xiao family's Patriarch and two other high-ranking officials?"

At this moment, the fact that the Xiao Mansion was "dirty" was almost known to everyone.

Therefore, everyone quickly made guesses about the three parties involved in the battle.

……

"I knew that the thief wouldn't let it go so easily."

"Second brother."

"Hmm!" Yang responded with a sigh, his figure suspended in the air.

A purple beam of light shot out from between his eyebrows and began to scan the surrounding world.

Although I don't intend to get involved in the Xiao family's affairs.

But... we still have to find those two thieves.

This is also their mission.

but……

"Look, purple light!"

"Purple light between the eyebrows, this is... this is the Yang family's Yin-Yang Eye..."

"Oh no! Hurry! Anyone with a wife at home, get into the water tank! Rumor has it that the Yang family's Sky Eye can see through things and observe the flow of energy within..."
