Lu Ping shared his thoughts with Lu Xuanyuan.

"Oh, you mean you want to take over the alchemy business of the Mu and Chi families at a preferential price."

"Yes, after all, if this deal is successful, the Mu family will have nothing to say even if it is exposed."

Seeing Lu Ping's determined expression, Lu Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "That's the truth, and the Mu family and my Lu family can indeed be successful if they make friends. I may also be able to persuade the Chi family, but have you ever thought about refining so many pills? This means that their spiritual herb reserves will be reduced. You must know that there are not many spiritual stones in my vortex sea area.

Spiritual herbs can be used as the equivalent of spiritual stones to a certain extent. If you ask them to exchange them for physical pills now, I'm afraid they may not be willing to do so!"

After hearing this, Lu Ping said confidently, "They will be willing."

Lu Xuanyuan was now curious, why Lu Ping was so confident, "What would make them willing?"

“What if I give a big discount?”

“A lot of discounts?”

"Yes, I am going to personally undertake the refining of the second-grade elixir, and the success rate is 40%, which is not low at all."

After hearing this number, Lu Xuanyuan was stunned. "In this case, you have worked for nothing."

Lu Ping's work was not in vain. He gained two things.

One is naturally the proficiency, and the other is that if the Mu family really entrusts the alchemy business to him, it should trigger the task system. At that time, he can also obtain a lot of task rewards from the system, which can be regarded as profit.

"If you come here to work for free, I am 100% sure that I can convince the Chi family. But why are you doing this?" Great grandfather was naturally very curious.

Lu Ping had thought of a good plan before coming here, and said calmly, "I think after practicing alchemy, I may be able to go further, and maybe I can make an elixir that can improve my cultivation in the late stage of foundation building."

After hearing this, Lu Xuanyuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you think you can still make progress, then I will come and sell my old face to this old guy Mu Fengsheng to make some money.

Lu Ping was overjoyed. "Then I'll leave it to you, great grandfather."

"Haha, that's nothing. Although you are the one who takes on the alchemy business, the spiritual stones provided by the Lu family's alchemy workshop cannot be less!"

"Don't worry, great grandfather won't be short of money."

Lu Xuanyuan said that the business of the Lu family alchemy shop would be handed over to Lu Ping. As long as Lu Ping handed in the spirit stones on time and handed them over to the family on time, he would no longer ask about the specific matters.

The Lu family now has ten foundation-building cultivators and one Jindan Zhenren. Lu Xuanping, Lu Xuanwu, and Lu Di, these three people already account for nearly one-third of the Lu family's strength. Moreover, Lu Ping is a second-grade alchemist with a higher status.

Even if Lu Ping was not his grandson, he would still consider his words.

The Lu family's current income from spirit stones is mainly divided into three parts. The first part is the alchemy business, which is also the business with the largest profit. The second part is naturally the two shipping routes, which are controlled by Lu Ping's aunt and second uncle. The third part is the development of the family's daily spirit fields and other islands. This part is managed by Lu Hai and Chen Yi. At the same time, the couple are also in charge of the welfare distribution of the Qi training people.

…

Seven days later, Lu Di flew out from the island where Beichen Market was located. This time he went straight to another gathering place for immortal cultivators nearby - Nanling Trade Fair.

On that island, some independent cultivators and cultivators from immortal cultivation families often gather here to exchange some gossip about the immortal cultivation world, and of course there are also those who take the opportunity to trade items.

The purpose of Lu Di's trip was, firstly, to trade the remaining pills, and secondly, to find out the news about the sea area from here.

Only after getting the news about the sea area could Lu Di truly decide on the next plan and which sea area market to open up.

Just now in Beichen Market, his pills were selling very well, especially the [Rejuvenation Pill], he had sold out all of them, but the first-grade pills were not selling well.

When he proposed to purchase the second-grade spiritual medicine, people were reluctant to do so. However, when he proposed to purchase the first-grade spiritual medicine, he was extremely happy to do so.

The Nanling Trade Fair will open today.

Nanling Island is not far from Beichen Haifang City.

Half a day later, Lu Di arrived at the so-called Nanling Trade Fair.

This island has many mountains. There is an ancient pavilion built at the foot of the tallest mountain. In the middle of the pavilion is a clear stream with fast-flowing water. Some fish sometimes pass by the river, drawing graceful curves on the water surface. These aquatic creatures are very cute.

In the stream, a red fish with a pair of small horns is leisurely enjoying the clear water in the stream.

This fish has a special smell and a special temptation, and it is also a unique product of Nanling Island.

Meanwhile, the immortal cultivators by the river gathered in groups of three or five and had long conversations.

Of course, there were also many cultivators rushing over along the river bank. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people participating in this Nanling transaction.

Lu Di looked around the river for a while in the sky and then landed.

Lu Di had just stopped and soon he heard clearly the conversation between several Qigong practitioners nearby.

The three immortal cultivators were talking loudly, and Lu Dilue listened attentively. They were talking about the Silent Sea.

"This time, the evil sect's purge of the righteous sect in the Silent Sea was very serious. The Silent City was also breached, the Nascent Soul cultivators disappeared, and a large number of cultivators in the Silent Sea were forced to flee their homeland. Even our Beichen Sea and Kongsang Sea will face disaster in the future. Now it depends on whether the evil sect will attack our Beichen Sea or Kongsang Sea first."

The three middle-aged men, who were of similar age and had pale faces, sighed.

"Yeah, who could have thought that the demons would really unite and send troops to the Silent Sea, and consume the Nine Palaces Sea in a short time!" Another middle-aged man with yellow hair also sighed.

When Lu Di heard the news, he stopped in his tracks.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Three fellow Taoists, can you tell me in detail about this Silent Sea?"

When the three heard that someone outside had heard what they were saying, they were startled at first and immediately shut up. Then they turned around and saw Lu Di standing beside them.

Seeing that Lu Di was surrounded by a foundation-building aura, these people all showed a trace of uneasiness. First they bowed respectfully and then asked, "Senior, I wonder what you want to hear."

Lu Di hesitated for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoists, don't be afraid. I have only been in seclusion for many days. I was surprised to hear such news when I came out today. Why don't you tell me in detail? If you speak well, I will give you these three spirit stones."

After that, he took out three spirit stones from his storage bag. To Lu Di, three spirit stones were nothing. But to these three Qi-refining monks, one spirit stone was enough to keep them busy for ten days.

After hearing what this man said, the three of them respectfully invited Lu Di to sit down at a table nearby.

The oldest cultivator spoke up, "It's impossible that you haven't been out of retreat for too long and you're not well-informed about this news. Several major demon sects in the north of our Beichen Sea have united and destroyed the Jiugong Sea first."

"I originally thought that the Demonic Path would stop on its own after destroying the Nine Palaces Sea, but I didn't expect that when they broke through the Nine Palaces Sea, they were still a loose alliance. When they reached the Silent Sea, they completely united together to form the Demonic Path Alliance."

The battle of merit expanded the Silent Sea, and the Silent City Lord Luan and his two companions disappeared, and a large number of Silent Sea monks fled to the nearby sea areas. "

The monk paused and added, "I also heard this from a monk who escaped."

"And I heard that after conquering the Silent Sea, the Demonic Path didn't seem to stop. They attacked the two seas to the left and right of the Silent Sea, and are now digesting it. And in the future, it is very likely that they will continue to attack our Beichen Sea. After all, at that time, they thought that the Demonic Path would stop after conquering the Jiugong Sea. Now, not only have they conquered the Silent Sea, but they have also successively attacked the two seas near it."

"I heard that they even deployed defensive measures such as formations in the Silent Sea. The demons are likely to use the Silent Sea as the front and continue to attack southward. In that case, our Beichen Sea and Kongsang Sea are most likely to be attacked. The cultivator spoke of the situation in the sea area with great eloquence and power.

When Lu Di heard about the demon monk, his expression remained unchanged and he said slowly, "In that case, a war is about to begin. In this case, the price of healing pills will probably continue to rise! "That's exactly what the senior said." The three of them hurriedly smiled dryly.

After getting the information he wanted, Lu Di stood up and handed the spirit stone to the three people and said in a friendly manner, "I see, fellow Taoists, please continue chatting. I'll go somewhere else."

"Goodbye, senior!"

"Senior, take care!"

The three of them were overjoyed after receiving the spiritual stones, so they respectfully sent Lu Di away.

After Lu Di left, the younger middle-aged monk asked, "Where do you think this person came from?"

"He said he had been in seclusion for too long. I guess he came from another sea area. After all, this matter has been circulating in Beichen Sea for a long time."

After Lu Di left, he asked a few more people and found out that what they said was similar.

In short, the northern demonic sects have formed an alliance and have set up a formation in the Silent Sea, waiting for the reaction from the righteous side.

However, what made Lu Di feel uncomfortable was that he didn't know that the prices of these pills like [Rejuvenation Pills] had gone up, and he actually sold them cheaply. He actually made a loss-making deal.
