"In that case, the Lu family and my Lin family will do the alchemy business. The Lu family will be in the east and the Lin family will be in the west. As for the Chi family and the Mu family, one will be in the south and the other in the north. Are you satisfied with this division?"
"I agree."
"OK!"
"Well, since you agree, I still have one request. Each of your families needs to pay a certain fee to the market, which can be said to be a tax."
"Senior Lin, you can't say that. The market town was originally established by our major Jindan families. Who are we going to give another share to?" The ancestor of the Chi family immediately retorted.
The Lin family patriarch remained calm and said, "To tell you the truth, this is not my opinion. This is the opinion of Taihang Zhenren. His opinion is that the management of the market is too lax and there is no way to effectively manage the market. That's why he hopes that each family can contribute a little. Besides, your contribution is not much."
In fact, Taihang Zhenren has proposed this idea for a long time, but the Lin family ancestor has not taken any action. The reason is simple, there is not enough benefit. Now the Lin family ancestor has put this proposal in front of them. If they want to swallow up the businesses of other families, they must accept this condition. He has also fulfilled Taihang's entrustment. As for the others, he is also a family power after all, and it is impossible for the family to bleed too much.
The Chi family ancestor's face was full of ups and downs. After a while, he slowly exhaled and replied, "Since this is the opinion of Master Taihang, then I have no problem with it."
"That's fine with me too," the Lu and Mu families answered in unison.
Seeing that everyone agreed to this condition, the Lin family ancestor nodded with satisfaction, "Well, since everyone agrees, let's go and prepare first!"
After they came out of the meeting hall, the Chi family ancestor flew away directly, and Master Dong Xuan returned to his cave. The Lu and Mu families came to the Mu family's base in Neifang City.
Mu Fengsheng set up a soundproof magic circle and used his magic power to check Mu Yongqiu's physical condition. After finding that it was not good, he asked, "What happened? How could so much blood evil energy enter the body?"
Lu Xuanping explained it briefly, and after Lu Xuanyuan listened, a flash of electricity flashed across his fingertips, and his fingers passed across Mu Yongqiu's body. Some blood and energy came out wherever the arc passed.
Seeing this, Mu Fengsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Xuanyuan, how long will it take to remove this blood evil energy?"
"It will take me about three days to pull it out completely." Looking at Mu Yongqiu, Lu Xuanyuan said helplessly.
"Grandpa, why are you on that island? I heard there is an ambush outside." Lu Xuanping finally had the chance to ask.
Seeing that Lu Xuanping was confused, Lu Xuanyuan gave Mu Fengsheng a look to indicate that he was busy and asked him to speak.
Mu Fengsheng received the look and understood what he meant.
"It's a long story, just listen to me and I'll tell you slowly."
"That day, after we encountered the eruption of the earth veins, we followed the advice of the Lin family ancestor and quickly rushed to Taihang Island, ready to follow the advice of Taihang Zhenren. As a result, before we arrived, the man behind the scenes dared to attack Taihang Market and happened to meet Taihang Zhenren, but he escaped with the help of a small teleportation talisman. Taihang Zhenren happened to find that one of them was Gongsun Haoran, the patriarch of the Gongsun family. After that, we attacked the Gongsun family island, but did not find the foundation of the Gongsun family. Later, we searched for some information from the Qi training cultivators and finally knew where the Gongsun family's foundation building went."
"We went here to destroy the Gongsun family's foundation building and stayed there, so you met us when you went out."
After hearing what Grandpa Mu said, he understood the whole story.
Mu Fengsheng added, "When meeting Taihang Zhenren, Lu Xuanyuan was severely scolded. After all, he had just caused trouble in Taihang Market."
"Ahem, don't talk about this kind of thing in front of the younger generation."
Mu Fengsheng smiled and said, "Don't forget. Master Taihang told you not to cause trouble!"
Lu Xuanping probably understood why the great grandfather in front of him looked so solemn. It was obvious that he had been warned by Master Taihang.
"As for the two of you, don't cause any trouble. Let me see how many herbs you have harvested." Lu Xuanping also took out his herbs and handed them to the great grandfather. As for Mu Yongqiu, he handed them to the ancestor of the Mu family.
Lu Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows when he looked at the herbs that Lu Xuanping had packed. There were herbs here that were worth at least 150,000 spirit stones. His grandson was really kind-hearted. You know, what their Lu family got this time was only nearly 200,000 spirit stones.
However, these herbs seem to be a lot, but in fact, they can only support a few foundation-building monks. If they are all used to buy foundation-building pills, they can support many foundation-building monks, but what use is there for an ordinary foundation-building monk?
A foundation-building cultivator with a complete set of magic weapons can defeat several foundation-building cultivators who have no magic weapons and no abilities. Instead of doing this, it is better to train more people with good talents in the hope that some of them can break through to the golden elixir stage.
Moreover, these also include the part for supporting Jindan cultivators, but he has already made a breakthrough and wants to repay his family.
For the next five days, Lu Xuanping stayed in Qingfeng Danpu to recuperate, but it lasted only three days.
He discovered the arrival of Uncle Lu Xuanhai and Aunt Lu.
"Uncle Xuanhai, Aunt Xuanqi!"
Hearing Lu Xuanping's greeting, Lu Xuanqi quickly praised, "Xuanping, your performance this time is excellent!"
"Haha. That's true. We actually took over the alchemy business in Neifang City in one fell swoop. This is a considerable income."
Also coming with them was a strange foundation-building cultivator.
Looking at this young foundation-building cultivator, he is now an outstanding disciple of the Lu family, and is deeply loved by the golden elixir cultivators. As their Wang family no longer has a golden elixir, he also flattered, "I am Wang Ruoqing, a second-grade alchemist of the Wang family. I have come specially to join the Lu family's alchemy workshop."
Looking at the somewhat humble Wang Ruoqing, Lu Xuanping couldn't help but sigh. This person's cultivation was at the middle stage of foundation building, but he was so flattering to himself who was in the early stage of foundation building. The key point was that their Lu family only had one more golden elixir.
Cultivation is the foundation, strength is everything. A strong person in a family can easily determine the rise and fall of a force.
Lu Xuanqi first took Wang Ruoqing to greet some people and went to Neifang City, leaving Lu Xuanhai and Lu Xuanping behind. Lu Xuanhai was amazed to see that Lu Xuanping had made great achievements in just a few months.
"Uncle Xuanhai, where is Aunt Chen Yi?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Hearing Lu Xuanping asking about Chen Yi, Lu Xuanhai smiled and said, "She is taking care of Xiaoyun in the family!"
Lu Xuanping knew that Xiaoyun was the daughter of Uncle Xuanhai and Aunt Chen Yi. The couple cherished this child very much, so naturally they left someone to take care of her.
"Why hasn't Grandpa come back yet?"
Lu Xuanhai shook his head. "Because he is too busy. Let me tell you about this."
"Okay." Hearing that there was something going on, Lu Xuanping stopped chatting.
"The first is that the internal and external divisions of Taihangfang City will be abolished."
"What? How could this happen?"
Lu Xuanhai said, "Inner Market should not have existed in the first place. It was given to them by Taihang Zhenren out of pity for the mortals. But after this incident, the significance of the existence of the Inner Market has become very low. The separation between the Inner Market and the Inner Market will be eliminated, and the mortals will be relocated."
"Migrate away?"
"This is also the common idea of many families. With the recent events, the sea routes of those Jindan families have become chaotic. The chaos of the family forces in the entire Whirlpool Sea Area will cause the transportation of the entire sea area to be interrupted for a period of time. Therefore, in order to better attract independent cultivators to trade, the Lu family and the Mu family have agreed, and the Lin family has also agreed, leaving only the Chi family."
"But it's useless for one person to object, so he agreed."
When Lu Xuanping heard this, he understood that it would be difficult for others to object to what the Lin family ancestor decided, after all, his cultivation was the strongest.
"If the entrance fee is cancelled and the population moves around, the business in this outer market will probably plummet. People will be more willing to go to those shops with guaranteed services."
"Second, the Blue Guards will recruit some foundation-building cultivators. Each Jindan family will send one person. The Mu family does not have enough foundation-building cultivators, so the Huo family will send one person. Our Lu family will send Lu Xuanwu."
"As for the third thing, it's about commission. The shops in the market will be redistributed. Each shop will be rented every ten or hundred years. Of course, the underground fire room is the property of Taihang Zhenren and is naturally permanent. As for the others, you have to pay to rent them. None of them are permanent."
After hearing this, Lu Xuanping also understood that in theory, taxation would require transaction amounts and the like, but these things could often be seen as false, so it was impossible to tell others. In this case, it would be fine to calculate the land as a tax.
Moreover, as mortals migrate, the scope of the market will be reduced, so security will indeed be improved, and the probability of robberies, such as the incident at Dafeng Pharmacy, will be greatly reduced.
But Lu Xuanping thought of the independent cultivators, "What about the independent cultivators?"
Lu Xuanhai shook his head. "Separate cultivators are the foundation. We can't restrict them too much and not give them any hope."
"The family agreement is that independent cultivators can set up stalls. By paying a guarantee fee of one spirit stone, they can sell things in the north of the market, and they can get the spirit stone back after they leave."
Lu Xuanping felt that this method was not bad. Gathering the scattered cultivators together would make it easier to manage them. At the same time, there was hope that the scattered cultivators would not cause trouble or leave the sea area.
