Xu Tianhe is an elder deacon who was born in Dongfu. He stays in Danyang City all year round and is in charge of the main hall of the Xu Family Salvia Hall. He is over sixty years old. Although like Xu Tianshu, he has reached the peak of his cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining, he still has Basically cutting off the possibility of advancing to the refining stage. This person is stationed at the main hall of Danyang City all year round and handles various affairs for the Xu family in Danyang City. His status is second only to the seven great uncles of the Xu family. Seeing the elder of the clan, Xu Qing and Xu Wanjun both bowed first, while Xu Yulin handed him over. Accompanied by Xu Tianhe, the three of them entered the secret room in the backyard together. There are many monks and powerful men in Danyang City. It is normal for others to hear their speech outside. So, there are secret rooms everywhere here. Entering the secret room isolated by the formation, the four of them sat down respectively. Xu Yulin asked Xu Tianhe: "Have you found out about the magic talisman pills that the clan wants to buy?" Xu Tianhe stroked his beard slightly, After pondering for a moment, he replied: "If we go to Qingxia Palace and ask for repurchase as in previous years, we can roughly buy half of what we need from Qingxia Palace, and the price should be similar to previous years. However, Qixing Pavilion and Jiuwu League has been gaining momentum in the past few years, and the prices offered to various families are obviously lower. Especially Qixing Pavilion is famous for its alchemy method. I once went to Qixing Pavilion to inquire. If we are willing to fix it for a long time, the price will be It will definitely be much cheaper than Qingxia Palace, and there will be no quantity restrictions, as long as we can pay the starting price." Xu Yulin nodded lightly, and asked: "Is the price of silver in Danyang City high? "Changes?" Xu Tianhe said: "At this time in previous years, the price of spiritual stones would definitely soar, and this year is no exception. Fortunately, there is more salvia this year, so I asked the main hall to replace a batch of spiritual stones in advance. The official price of the palace is three hundred taels of silver for an official spirit stone. Although this price is not high, it is exchanged according to the amount of each monk. There is a fixed share every year. The usual private price is four to five hundred taels. About 800 taels of silver, and it has increased to 600 taels in the past half month. If the supply of spiritual stones is tighter, it would not be surprising to exchange 800 taels of silver for one spiritual stone. " The two of them discussed important matters, Xu Qing and Xu Wanjun. I am junior and know very little, so I am just here to listen. As long as they can advance to the Qi Refining Stage, the monks in Yuezhou can exchange ten spirit stones with the Yue Prince's Mansion every year. The exchange price is very low, but they can only exchange for ten. In the Gang Refining Stage, they can exchange for hundreds of them every year. Can be exchanged for thousands of pieces. The situation is different in each state, mainly depending on the number of spirit stone veins in each state. The monks of the aristocratic families are directly responsible for the exchange. The Xu family's largest share can be exchanged for more than 1,700 spiritual stones each year. Because they have to take care of the guests in the mansion, plus various other expenses, this share must be Far from enough. For the insufficient parts, the Xu family can only find ways to buy them privately outside. This is true for all martial arts families. Demonic monks like Tu Dakui often organize secretly to attack small families and monks, rob spiritual stones, and then Sold to other aristocratic families at high prices. In the world of cultivation, silver has basically no use. The only hard currency is spirit stones. This means that the actual exchange price of spirit stones is destined to far exceed the official price of the palace. Xu Yulin and Xu Tianhe talked secretly for a quarter of an hour, just talking about the issue of spiritual stones. Without the spiritual stones, the Xu family would not be able to buy the necessary spiritual elixirs and talismans from several Xuanmen orthodox traditions. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For a small middle- and low-level family like the Xu family, once they encounter an invasion from a foreign enemy, the only way they can truly protect themselves is to use a large number of spiritual talismans. This also means that the spiritual talismans must be purchased with spiritual stones. Xu Qing just listened to the two people talking about the affairs of the clan, and felt even more deeply about the difficult times in the world. It was not easy for a small family to survive. Xu Yulin and Xu Tianhe talked for a while, but they didn't have any good countermeasures. All they could do was to do what they could. Speaking of this, Xu Yulincai, Xu Qing, and Xu Wanjun said: "It's still early and it's rare for you to come to Danyang City. You might as well take this time to walk around the streets. If you encounter a business involving spiritual stone exchange, it would be a good idea to You can change more." Xu Qing nodded slightly, then stood up and left with Xu Wanjun. Walking out of the Salvia Hall, Xu Qing glanced around, and smiled bitterly with Xu Wanjun: "I used to think that our Xu family was very wealthy, but only when we arrived in Danyang City did we realize that our Xu family is really poor, not only from a small place. A small force, but still poor." Xu Wanjun chuckled, opened the folding fan that he carried with him and fanned it lightly, and said with a smile: "Brother, let's just wander around, maybe we will meet a monk who is in need of money. He exchanged hundreds of spirit stones in his hand. "Xu Qing also laughed. He probably wouldn't have such a good opportunity, but Xu Wanjun still wandered on the street together. In Danyang City, in addition to the three major Xuanmen Taoist traditions,You can make magic talismans, refine elixirs and spiritual weapons, and other casual cultivators with good cultivation can also do it. This street is ten miles long from north to south and is known as the Ten Miles Long Street. It is the most prosperous area in Danyang City. You can feel free to do it here. There are more than a thousand monks who set up stalls to sell various talismans and elixirs. Both of them had an extra pair of ears and listened carefully. Among the noisy shouts, they could hear some people selling spiritual stones, but the price was really too low. Xu Qing had an idea in his mind. There were a lot of various spiritual weapons left around him, and they were basically useless. If he sold them here, he should be able to exchange them for a large number of spiritual stones. His spiritual sense swept through and he discovered that Tu Dakui was also on the street not far from the Salvia Hall, negotiating with several other monks, wanting to exchange the spiritual weapons in his hands for other people's spiritual talismans. Xu Qing looked over from a distance and met Tu Dakui's eyes. The two just nodded silently and did not recognize each other immediately. Because of the blood demon spirit robe to protect him, Tu Dakui looked like a very ordinary Xuanmen monk at this moment. Even the real Xuanmen monk at the golden elixir stage could not see his background. There happened to be a middle-aged monk nearby who was selling a rare and top-quality spiritual weapon. There were many onlookers. Xu Wanjun walked over with interest to join in the fun, and Xu Qing followed her. This top-quality spiritual weapon is a very delicate blue copper ring. It is of high quality and has a complete inheritance. The middle-aged monk himself has the refining method of the Six Paths Mystery of this weapon and is willing to sell the refining method and the spiritual weapon together. , there are naturally many monks watching around. There were three levels of people inside and three levels outside forming a large circle. There were almost dozens of people who wanted to buy this bronze ring. Since ancient times, there are only two types of monks in this world. One is the Yin-Yang monks, who focus on martial arts and magical powers, and the other is the Five Elements monks, who focus on spells and spell formations. The same is true for spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and magic weapons. They are nothing more than weapons of yin and yang and weapons of the five elements. Xu Qing and Xu Wanjun reluctantly squeezed into the crowd and stood at the edge of the middle-aged monk's stall. He glanced around and couldn't help but feel a little weird. It turned out that this monk had dozens of spiritual weapons for sale, including yin and yang spiritual weapons and five element spiritual weapons. , but each piece is marked as a treasure with complete inheritance. This is very strange. Xu Qing took a special look at the middle-aged monk, but saw that this man's appearance was ordinary, and his cultivation seemed to be in the middle and late stages of Qi refining, but he had a very complicated and secret aura, as if there was a ball of flame here. It overflows in the human body. Five Elements Monk! Xu Qing was slightly surprised. This was the first time he met a monk who practiced fire attribute skills, and he was probably an weapon refiner. The middle-aged monk sold many spiritual weapons, but the bronze ring in his hand was a top-quality spiritual weapon. There were many bidders, and the two young men who competed most fiercely were obviously wealthy local martial arts families in Danyang City. Prince, they kept bidding without giving in, but they looked leisurely. It seemed that they didn't pay attention to a top-quality spiritual weapon at all, they just didn't want their opponents to buy it cheaply. In front of these two wealthy princes, the other monks were obviously shorter and did not have the courage to continue bidding, so they just watched here. "Taoist Chiyan, the bronze ring you sold today has barely caught my attention. I won't waste any more words with you. Is the price of six thousand spirit stones considered fair?" The plain-faced young man in a white satin robe paid a high price. He was calm and toying with a pair of yin-yang spirit beads in his hands, and glanced at the other young man competing with him in a leisurely manner. The monks who were watching around couldn't help sighing. The price of 6,000 spirit stones was not low. Even according to the official price, it was worth 1.6 million taels of silver. Of course, these monks also wanted to buy this top-quality spirit stone. Weapons, but they only have hundreds of spiritual stones on them, and no more than a thousand at most. They have no ability to compete with the real princes of these wealthy families. The middle-aged monk is Taoist Chiyan, who is very famous on this ten-mile street because the spiritual weapons he sells have complete refining methods. Although the price is much higher, they are worth the money. The two wealthy princes in front of him were both regular customers of Taoist Chiyan. Taoist Chiyan could only laugh and replied to the plain-faced young man: "Prince Xiao, since you like this Qingyang copper ring so much, then I I¡¯ll sell it to you!¡± Having said this, Taoist Chiyan was already packing the Qingyang copper ring and the jade talisman recording the refining method. "Wait!" The other wealthy prince wearing a red brocade python suddenly raised his hand and stopped him: "Taoist Chiyan, I am willing to bid six thousand five hundred spiritual stones!" Mr. Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Seven Thousands of pieces!" The red-robed prince couldn't help but show a helpless smile and said: "Xiao Bailing, you are too boring. This Qingyang Bronze RingIt is actually a very difficult side sect spiritual weapon. It is considered to be above average among the best spiritual weapons, but it is worth at most five thousand spiritual stones. What's more, you can't use it at all. Just to compete with me, you have to lose 7,000 spiritual stones. It's too boring. " Xiao Bailing laughed loudly and said playfully: "I really don't need it, but our Xiao family also has several guests from the Shaoyang lineage. One of them is a well-known beautiful woman. Even you Yan Guangpu was also salivating, couldn't I spend 7,000 spiritual stones just to make this beauty smile? " Yan Guangpu snorted bitterly, turned around and left angrily. Seeing him leaving, everyone murmured around him again, and someone laughed in a low voice: "What about the heir apparent of the Yan family of the Nine Martial Alliance? After all, he is a foreigner. If he wants to be compared with our Xiao family, the four major families in Danyang City, he is too far behind! " "Yes, the four major families in Danyang are headed by the Hou family. They have deep foundation and strong financial resources. How can they be compared with the Yan family and the Jiuwu Alliance. Even the Jiuwu Alliance is an alliance of nine families and can barely be regarded as a Taoist tradition. But after all, It's a pile of loose sand. " Everyone sighed and jeered. Just looking at the top-quality spiritual weapon bought by Xiao Bailing, they were also a little envious. Xu Wanjun calmly asked Xu Qing in a low voice: "Can you see it? Is the mystery of the copper ring really worth seven thousand spiritual stones? Xu Qing thought for a moment and replied to her: "It should be worth it, and it is indeed a good thing. Unfortunately, it is more suitable for our Xu family." " Xu Wanjun smiled faintly and sighed: "It's a pity that we are just a small aristocratic family. There are three major Xuanmen and four major aristocratic families in Danyang City, which can be regarded as the seven major forces in Danyang County. Our Wuyan Xu family is just a small aristocratic family attached to Qingxia Palace, how can we have the capital to compete with them? " Xu Qing's expression was indifferent, but he quietly took a closer look at the Taoist Chiyan in front of him. His spiritual consciousness was strong and sharp, comparable to that of a real person in the Jindan stage. It could be seen at a glance that Taoist Chiyan's cultivation level was at least In the middle stage of refining the power, the fire-attributed Qi is even more powerful and pure. This is the weapon refiner. Taoist Chiyan has placed dozens of spiritual weapons on the wooden table in front of him, including the upper, middle and lower grades, as well as the five elements of Yin and Yang. Yes, all kinds, each one has been completely refined by him, but each one has not been cultivated for too long. This actually tells others that he has the method to completely refine these spiritual weapons and can take them with him. As a result, even if the price of the spiritual weapons he sells is much higher than others, the supply is still in short supply. The bronze ring just now has been sold, but there are still dozens of monks carefully selecting others at Taoist Chiyan's sandalwood table. They wanted to buy one or two spiritual weapons, but they were reluctant to do so because of the price. Xu Qing smiled and found a way to earn spiritual stones. Although he was not a weapon refiner, he was in the formation. Tao's attainments are enough for him to crack the refining methods of most spiritual weapons. His method of making money is the same as that of Taoist Chi Yan. He secretly collects spiritual weapons that cannot be refined by others, buys them at low prices, and sells them at high prices after cracking them. Yan Daoman also has a unique skill, that is, he can repair damaged spiritual weapons. At least half of the dozens of spiritual weapons sold on the sandalwood table were repaired by this person himself. Xu Qing secretly thought about this. A way to make money, Xu Wanjun observed these spiritual weapons with other monks with great interest, and quickly fell in love with one or two, and she really wanted to buy them. Xu Qing then patted her shoulder lightly. He smiled and said, "Why do you need to spend all this wasted money? " After Xu Wanjun reminded him, he remembered that Xu Qing was also a master in cracking the refining method. He immediately laughed and said: "That's true. With your brother supporting me, I can really save a lot of wasted money. There are everywhere here. They are all good things. You might as well help me choose a few, right? " Xu Qing nodded slightly, pointed to the stalls in front, and said: "There should be the spiritual weapons that Dongfu needs there! "
