Chapter 172 City Lord Lu (Second Update!)
After Lu Yuan and Jiang Ming left, Yao Xuan continued to refine pills with nine furnaces running in the alchemy hall.
Of course, a conscientious entrepreneur like Lu Yuan would never let his apprentice work for nothing. He promised that Yao Xuan would get 500 sect contribution points for every furnace of pills he refined.
By refining nine Yaoxuan furnaces at the same time, you can obtain 4,500 contribution points in one go by refining a batch of pills.
Refining 100 times a day, 900 furnaces of pills, 90 million pills.
That is a full 450,000 contribution points. According to the exchange rate of 100 to 1 between contribution points and points, Yao Xuan can earn 4,500 points a day.
That’s 9,000 points in two days, and if he refines medicine continuously for a month he can earn a terrifying 270,000 points.
If you work harder, you can practice it 200, 300 or even 10,000 times a day.
Yao Xuan refines 90,000 furnaces of pills every day and can earn 27 million points from Lu Yuan in a month.
Lu Yuan must be losing money, so Yao Xuan must be making a lot of money. Yao Xuan is also very motivated. Why not do business and gain contribution points at the same time? ...
On the other side, Lu Yuan had already arrived at the Daluo Palace. At this time, Jiang Qingwu and his group had been arranged by Jiang Ming to wait in the Daluo Palace in advance. As the eldest brother, Xiao Huang stayed here to accompany the guests before the master came.
When they first saw Xiao Huang sitting at the table, Emperor Qian and Jiang Zu frowned. Obviously, they didn't understand why the Daluo Sect had the habit of serving dogs at the table?
Then Jiang Qingwu quickly sent a message to the two of them to explain that Da Huang was the genuine eldest disciple of Daluo Sect, and his cultivation had reached the peak of Nascent Soul stage.
When Emperor Qian and Jiang Zu heard this, their eyes immediately cleared up.
You’ve reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. That’s fine, Teacher Da Gou.
Xiao Huang accompanied the guest until Lu Yuan arrived. After the master arrived, Xiao Huang stepped aside. Jiang Qingwu stood up at this time: "Senior Lu, I am visiting again today. Sorry to bother you."
"Don't bother me. Why did your Highness the Seventh Prince come to my Daluo Sect again today?"
Lu Yuan sat down and took a sip of the tea that Jiang Mingxin brought him, then asked him what was the matter.
Jiang Qingwu then introduced Lu Yuan: "Let me introduce you to Senior Lu first. This is my Daqian royal family's ancestor Jiang Zu. He is known as Jiang Renjie. I believe that Sect Master Lu should know something about him."
Lu Yuan looked at the old man in black robe beside Jiang Qingwu. This man had a strong aura, but his blood was exhausted. He should be the ancestor who had achieved the state of transformation within the Daqian royal family.
Lu Yuan said politely: "The name of Ancestor Jiang is well-known."
Jiang Zu also greeted Lu Yuan.
Then Jiang Qingwu introduced another person, Emperor Qian.
Emperor Qian said, "Thank you, Sect Master Lu, for taking care of my son during our previous trip to the Blood Territory. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is rare for His Highness the Seventh Prince to be so filial. I am only helping slightly, and it is a collaboration in itself."
Jiang Zu said at this time: "Chen'er, give the thank-you gift you brought to Sect Master Lu. Thank you for giving me the dragon marrow. That piece of dragon marrow is extremely precious and it really helped me out of my urgent need."
As expected, he came to give gifts. Lu Yuan was satisfied. It seemed that the Seventh Prince of Daqian really kept his word.
Before agreeing to go into the Blood Domain with him, the Seventh Prince said that he would reward me handsomely after the task was accomplished. Since the Emperor Daqian and the ancestor are here together, a thank-you gift is bound to be inevitable.
Sure enough, this time Emperor Qian personally took out the gift list and read out the list of thank-you gifts.
"10,000 strong sheep and blood cattle, Daqian Feilong City Fire Crystal Mine, royal family special spiritual food, Daluo Mountain renovation project, and 100 million spiritual stones..."
The Daqian royal family had made sufficient preparations and investigations in advance before delivering gifts this time.
Compared with the last thank-you gift, there were fewer fancy things. For example, the last thank-you gifts included the Longtian Jade Lion to Suppress Evil, the imperial copper heaven and earth furnace, the large spiritual energy formation plate, the North Sea Dragon Fish, and elixirs.
They have a good reputation, but their actual value is just average. They are mostly decorative items and not very practical.
This time it looks plain and simple, but it is much more practical.
The strong sheep and the blood beef are both high-quality ingredients in the Qingtian World. After cooking and eating the strong sheep meat, the blood beef can increase the qi and blood, making the qi and blood boil.
Both are difficult to raise and are relatively precious. Outside, an adult strong sheep can be sold for 5,000 spirit stones, and an adult blood cow can be sold for 10,000 spirit stones.
The Daqian royal family gave 3,000 heads to each Daluo Sect last time, and this time they directly gave each 10,000.
Converted into spirit stones, the powerful sheep and blood cattle is worth 150 million spirit stones.
Although these strong sheep blood cattle may be raised by the Daqian royal family themselves and their cost price is much lower than this, they are definitely real good stuff.
The Fire Crystal Mine in Feilong City of Daqian, Lu Yuan knew that Feilong City was located to the west of Daluo Sect. Next to Feilong City was Yunluo City of Lingjian Sect, which was also a big city in Daqian with a population of over 100 million.
Feilong City is famous for the huge mine outside the city. It is a project that Daqian has focused on in recent years. There are many fire crystal veins inside the mine, and the content of fire crystal ore in the veins is extremely high.
Although the value of fire crystal ore is not particularly high, it has a wide range of applications. Ordinary people can buy fire crystal ore in winter to keep warm, burn fire, and use for lighting.
Practitioners can use it to absorb internal fire aura. The fire aura in the fire crystal ore is gentler than that in normal spirit stones. For many practitioners with low-level fire spirit roots, this thing is more suitable than spirit stones.
Moreover, Fire Crystal Ore can also be used as a material for refining equipment and as a catalyst for refining equipment and alchemy...
In short, it has a wide range of uses. Basically, there is no problem selling it once it is dug out. It can even be used as a spiritual stone by practitioners. The market is always in short supply.
This is no different from directly giving Daluo Sect a spirit stone mine.
In addition, there are spiritual foods specially supplied to the royal family. This means that from today onwards, all the spiritual foods specially supplied to the Daqian royal family will be sent to the Daluo Sect. This also represents the attitude of the Daqian royal family.
The resources were given to us, the mines were given to us, and even the food was shared by both of us. The meaning was very clear, as if we were going to share the joys and sorrows with the Daluo Sect.
In addition, Emperor Qian should have received information from Jiang Qingwu, knowing that the interior of Daluo Sect is very dilapidated and has not yet been renovated, so he took on the Daluo Mountain renovation project and gave an additional 100 million spirit stones.
These things are pretty heavy.
Emperor Qian continued, "Master Lu, in addition to this, I also want you to serve as the Lord of Feilong City. Of course, don't worry, our royal family will arrange a capable deputy Lord to take charge of the internal management of Feilong City, and you can serve as the honorary Lord.
The annual tax revenue of Feilong City no longer needs to be handed over to the imperial court, but can be directly handed over to your Daluo Sect."
When Lu Yuan heard this, he was flattered.
How can I not accept this? How can I not accept this?
Lu Yuan said, "Since Emperor Qian and Patriarch Jiang are so kind, I can't refuse their kindness. It would be impolite to refuse. So I will accept it. If you can help me in the future, please ask. I will help you wherever I can."
Emperor Qian and Jiang Zu looked at each other with joy on their faces.
The Daqian royal family really gritted their teeth and shed blood to give Lu Yuan these things, including the mine, the position of the city lord and the annual tax revenue of Feilong City.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If it's just for Xie Luyuan's dragon marrow, it's actually not worth it.
But if these things can recruit a strong man who has the strength to kill a person in the God Transformation Stage, it would be a great deal.
Emperor Qian and the others knew that Lu Yuan had killed the leader of the Demon Heart Cult in the Ancient Blood Domain.
Giving Lu Yuan a Feilong City, the Daqian royal family did lose a lot on the surface, but in fact they also made money. After all, as long as Lu Yuan is the city lord, if the Daqian royal family encounters trouble or even annihilation in the future, can Lord Lu sit idly by? For example, if an outsider invades Daqian, can you, Lord Lu, just watch?
So generally speaking, there are some rules for gift-giving. When smart people give gifts, they always make money without losing money.
Emperor Qian is a smart man, and of course Lu Yuan is not stupid either.
Lu Yuan knew what the Emperor Daqian meant. How could a piece of dragon marrow the size of half a palm and a leftover blood egg of all beasts be worth so many things?
Giving away the mine and Feilong City obviously means he wants to bind himself to Lu Yuan and Daluo Sect. After all, his current strength is enough to make Daqian jealous.
Lu Yuan agreed so easily, he also had his own calculations.
His Daluo Sect's business will have to expand outward sooner or later. The current four major sects are far from enough. Lu Yuan's next goal is to sell the elixir to the Daqian royal family.
So part of the reason why he made friends with Jiang Qingwu was that he wanted to use Jiang Qingwu as a stepping stone.
You know, once the path to the Daqian royal family is opened up, that will be a real big business. After all, the Daqian royal family is not only stronger than the four great immortal sects, but also has many people under their command.
The army, the officials, the grassroots monks of Daqian City...
There are tens of billions of people in the entire country. Even if only one percent of them are cultivators, they can kill the four major immortal sects in seconds.
How many people are there in the four major sects combined? The Lingjian Sect has 30,000 inner and outer disciples, and the Qinglan Sect has nearly 100,000 disciples. They are all small-scale operations.
With the power of the country in the hands of the Daqian royal family and the support of the Daqian royal family, the grassroots practitioners of Daqian will largely switch to using the elixirs of the Daluo Sect. After all, the imperial court above has designated the elixir supplier, so who among the people below dares not to use it?
Taking down the Daqian royal family would be a big business.
So when they offered him the position of the Lord of Feilong City, Lu Yuan accepted it directly. Firstly, Feilong City would be his in the future. Although most of the population of Feilong City was mortals, the annual tax revenue was several billion spirit stones. Why not give it away for free? Secondly, he was the Lord of the City. It was okay for Lord Lu to do business with the royal family, right? After getting into the inner circle, everyone was his family, so it would be easier to talk about business.
In comparison, the Daluo Sect is equivalent to being a buddy with the Daqian royal family in the future, and the Alchemist Alliance is an outsider. Why not give business to outsiders instead of buddies? What's the reason? Moreover, the Daluo Sect's elixirs are cheap, of guaranteed quality and quantity, and can save money for Daqian. It is mutually beneficial, so why not?
Lu Yuan and Emperor Qian had their own calculations in mind, and everything was going according to their plans.
In this wave, the gift givers were happy, and the gift receivers were also happy. The main goal was that both the host and the guests were happy, and everyone was happy.
After presenting the thank-you gifts, Emperor Qian began to talk about business.
"Master Lu, besides this, we in Daqian have another favor to ask of you." Emperor Qian stood up, showing the seriousness of the matter.
Lu Yuan looked at the Daqian Emperor.
It must be a big deal that Emperor Qian could use the word "ask".
Lu Yuan: "Emperor Qian, why should you be polite? We are all family now, so you can just speak directly if you have anything to say."
"I would like to ask Sect Master Lu to help my Daqian ancestor refine an elixir to resist the decline of life." Emperor Qian immediately said: "Please ask Sect Master Lu to name a price. As long as Sect Master Lu can help my ancestor overcome the decline of life, Daqian will always remember your kindness and repay you handsomely."
Lu Yuan listened to what Emperor Qian said and understood that in addition to giving him a thank-you gift, he also wanted him to help him refine the elixir.
No wonder Emperor Qian and Daqian, the ancestor of the divine transformation, came in person this time, otherwise there wouldn't be a need for so many people just to deliver a gift.
After Emperor Qian finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in Lu Yuan's ears.
"Issuing a new task, refining pills!"
Sure enough, Tongzi also came.
