protect our patriarch

……

Just when Chenguang and Xinglan, the poor master and apprentice, were "quarreling" and worrying about money.

Wang Shouzhe and his party, who had just been settled in the Wuji Shrine, entered [Xuantian City] under the guidance of the guards of the shrine, and went to play in private.

Speaking of which, it has been 50 years since Wang Shouzhe and others came to Immortal Realm.

But for the past 50 years, they have been traveling in the Taoist boat, and they have basically been walking within the control range of the demons. They have to carefully avoid the patrol fleet of the demons along the way, and they have not yet experienced the elegance of the fairy world.

Therefore, when I first came to Xuantian City, I naturally wanted to take a stroll and have a look.

"You two young masters, Miss, look over there."

The person in charge of entertaining the three grandchildren of Wang Shouzhe was a heroic-looking guard of the shrine.

He transferred a flying chariot pulled by a fairy bird from the shrine, and took the three of them to shuttle and soar in Xuantian City. Every time he passed a landmark building, he stopped for a while to introduce to the three of them.

"That huge and majestic hall is the Xuantian Palace. This is the management center of Xuantian City. It handles countless affairs every day."

This should be a place similar to the city guard's mansion.

Wang Shouzhe knew it in his heart, but he was not interested in it for the time being. He just smiled on the surface: "I have a chance to take a look."

"My lord, look at that tower soaring into the galaxy." The guard of the shrine pointed to a nearby tower and said, "That is the Xuantian Tongtian Tower, which is specially used by some young heroes to break through the barrier."

"If you can break through the hundredth floor, you are eligible to enter the Promise Shrine. If you can break through the two hundredth floor, you are qualified to become the core disciple of the Promise Shrine. Back then, I just broke through the two hundredth floor and entered It is only after being taught by a Da Luo Jinxian that he has come all the way to today."

The guards of the shrine are the face of the Wuji shrine, so they will naturally choose some disciples with good looks, good cultivation strength and potential.

And this shrine guard who is in charge of entertaining can be regarded as one of the more outstanding ones. Not only does he look majestic, but he also has the strength of the real fairyland. The backbone of the Promise Shrine.

He has done a lot of hospitality like this in the past, so he is quite proficient in introducing various landmark buildings. From the history of the building to the interesting things that happened in the past, it is not boring at all.

"Brother Yao." Wang Shouzhe didn't have much interest in these things. He smiled at him and said directly, "Forget about these places. Take us to the market to have a look."

With Wang Shouzhe's identity and strength, he is naturally not interested in the "low-level trial copy" of Xuantian Tongtian Pagoda.

This kind of trial dungeon is for the children in the family to play.There are several similar trial dungeons designed by him.

"Market?"

The guard of the shrine surnamed Yao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

The two young masters and young ladies who are being entertained this time are both of extraordinary appearance and noble temperament. They seem to be the children of nobles from a big power or a big family. How can they like to go to the market?
"That's right, it's better to be the kind of market that the most ordinary people in Xuantian City go to." Wang Shouzhe's expression was warm, but his tone of voice inadvertently revealed a taste that could not be discussed.

It's no wonder that he has been the patriarch for a long time, and there are not many family ancestors checking and balancing him.Over time, he naturally developed the demeanor of a superior without anger and prestige.

Before the mind of the palace guard could react, his body had subconsciously taken orders: "I'll lead you young masters and ladies there."

After finishing speaking, he immediately notified the flying chariot bearers to turn to the market, and pointed out that it was the largest market frequented by ordinary Xuanwu monks.

Although Xuantian City is called "City", its actual scope is extremely large, even more magnificent than Dongxia Luojing.

Even if it was a flying chariot, it took a full hour to arrive at the [Western Suburb Market] on the edge of Xuantian City.

Here, it is very far away from [The Promise Shrine].

Looking up from this position, the Promise Shrine suspended in the sky is like a full moon embedded in the sea of ​​stars, exuding brilliance.

And in the central area of ​​Xuantian City, even at night, the top of the head is full of brilliance, just like daytime, so Xuantian City is also known as "the city that never sleeps".

The central area of ​​Xuantian City is naturally the most prosperous area in Xuantian City. The people who come and go are noblemen, ladies from aristocratic families, or elite disciples from various powers. There are all kinds of luxurious flying chariots flying around in the sky. .

But here in the western suburbs, the environment is much more down-to-earth.

It is said to be a market here, but it is actually a place where goods are collected and distributed. There are constantly large and small airships docking in the Zhou airport, handling all kinds of goods.The incoming goods will be transported to various warehouses, and then will flow into the market.

The reason why Wang Shouzhe came to the bazaar was naturally that he wanted to know the most real side of the fairy world by investigating the situation of the bazaar.

For example, examine prices, the economy, the ecological environment of the middle and low levels of society, the livelihood of ordinary people in the fairy world, and so on.

It is impossible to obtain such information from Mr. Yunhe or Goddess Xinglan.The position they are in is too lofty and ungrounded at all. Even if you ask them these questions, they may not know.

And no matter which world you are in, the middle class and the bottom class are always the largest class, and the class that cannot be ignored.

The three of Wang Shouzhe quickly changed into ordinary uniforms, and even the shrine guard surnamed Yao changed into normal uniforms at Wang Shouzhe's request, and followed behind Wang Shouzhe like a follower.

In the eyes of the high-ranking bigwigs, he is just an ordinary guard, but in the eyes of ordinary people, a guard of the shrine like him is already a big shot. If he doesn't change his clothes, he will wear the guard of the shrine The appearance of the uniform here is bound to cause a sensation.

However, the fairyland is the fairyland.

This Xuantian City is at any rate the most important main city under the jurisdiction of the Promise Palace, even the "general public" at the "lower level" have the cultivation base of the Heavenly Human Realm, and the "powerful" of the Purple Mansion Realm can be found everywhere .

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this third-grade spiritual rice?" Wang Shouzhe walked into a rice shop casually, grabbed a handful of third-grade spiritual rice for display, looked at it, and sniffed it.

The Wang family also planted a large amount of third-grade Lingmi now, but they were all planting the mother species of Lingmi.

The so-called mother plant of Lingmi is the mother plant of grain seeds.

The seeds that are produced after planting the mother species and multiplying again are grain seeds, and the grain seeds are edible food crops only after they are planted again.

Planting and selling grain seeds is already an operation with high yield per mu and high returns.And planting the mother species of Lingmi will naturally maximize the yield per mu.

Today, the entire sanctuary cannot be said to be dominated by Wang's grain seeds, but for now, Wang's grains of all grades have already occupied [-] to [-]% of the total market in the sanctuary!

This alone established the cornerstone of the Wang family being a giant crocodile in the sanctuary.

It is also for this reason that when Wang Shouzhe came to the Immortal World, the first thing he cared about was the Lingmi here.

"My lord, the wholesale price of this top-quality third-grade [Bai Zhi Ling Rice] is '35' for one warehouse of fairy crystals, and the price starts from a hundred warehouses." An old man in charge whose strength has reached the supernatural power level told Wang Shouzhe Said respectfully.

The fairy crystal is linked to the spirit stone, and one fairy crystal is equal to one low-grade spirit stone.

It seems that the world of Shenwu uses "immortal crystal" as currency, and its source can be traced all the way back to the fairy world.

This is no wonder, the Immortal League was originally a pioneering branch of the Immortal Realm, and the Sanctuary is a remnant of the Immortal League. The Shenwu World and the Sanctuary are also inextricably linked, and it is not uncommon to continue to use the same currency system.

And [Yigang] is also a standard grain trading unit, which is about one hundred tons, or 20 catties.Shenwu World and Sanctuary also have such units of measurement.

However, when Wang Shouzhe heard the price, he frowned slightly, thinking that the price was a bit outrageous.

The quality of this third-grade Baizhi Lingmi seems to be pretty good, but compared to one of the third-grade Lingmi that Wang's currently recommending—[Purple Paste Lingmi No. 97], it is still half a chip away.

At present, the bulk transaction price of Sanctuary's purple paste spirit rice often fluctuates between "19 and 23" fairy crystals per warehouse, and the fluctuation range is not very large.

The old man in charge of the Supernatural Realm is also a person who is good at observing facial expressions, and he probably knew Wang Shouzhe's expression when he saw Wang Shouzhe's expression.

He lowered his voice and continued: "Master, the quality of Lingmi from our Spring and Autumn Rice Shop is the best in the western suburbs market, and the price is also the best. If your batch is higher, for example, you can ask for three to five hundred warehouses , I can still be the master and give some discounts."

This group of people is very personable, it looks like a rich man, and this supernatural power manager also wants to make a big deal.

Three hundred warehouses is a big sale of over [-] million immortal crystals, which can be turned into a "fairy spirit stone".

"Who eats most of these third-grade Baizhi Lingmi?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually.

"This..." The old man in charge froze.

This noble son of feelings is not here to do business, but to understand people's sentiments.

But even so, he didn't dare to offend, and still respectfully said patiently: "My lord, the main consumers of the third-grade rice are monks in the Zifu realm, and some monks in the supernatural realm who have to save money for various reasons. Of course, There are also monks with outstanding talents or wealthy families who will eat it for a long time when they are in the stage of heaven and man."

"Even some Lingtai Realm children with strong family background and blood will use third-grade rice to replenish a large amount of Qi and blood, but the number of this group is relatively small."

"There is also the largest consumer group, which is the army. After all, most of the soldiers in the army are in the realm of heaven and man or the realm of Zifu."

No wonder he was so cautious.

As a cultivator in the Supernatural Realm, he is just an ordinary person in Xuantian City. If he accidentally offends some important person, he will definitely be unable to bear it. If he wants to live a stable life, he must be more cautious.

Wang Shouzhe nodded slightly.

It seems that the second-grade and third-grade Lingmi are mainstream spirit rice that is in short supply even in the Immortal World, and the market prospect is good.

Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe inquired carefully about the other Lingmi.

The old man in charge patiently answered one by one.

The shrine guard surnamed Yao who was following behind saw that Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

What is the background of this young man invited back by His Highness Xinglan?
How can you not even understand the basic price?
It is estimated that the family background is too high, and they have been practicing and growing up in the ivory tower, so they are interested in these "well-known" market intelligence.

In fact, how could he have expected that Wang Shouzhe, who looks personable and divine, is actually a top-notch Nongsang Grandmaster.

Even though Wang's various industries are booming and rich, Wang Shouzhe's most important thing from the beginning to the end is still the acres of spiritual fields and bowls of spiritual rice.

He still remembers the taste of Baiyu Lingmi when he just woke up.

Together with Nong Sang, it is the foundation for the Wang family to truly settle down.

After asking for half an hour, Wang Shouzhe finally ended the topic after learning more about the market conditions of various grades of Lingmi in the Immortal World.

"Thank you for answering your questions."

He nodded slightly to the old man in charge of supernatural powers, gave a top-quality spirit stone as a thank you gift, and then turned around and drifted away.

Shou Zhe did not show too much "respect for the old" politeness to the old man. After all, although the other party looks old, his actual age is probably fifteen or six hundred years old.And he, Wang Shouzhe, passed his three thousand "big birthday" not long ago!
Purely in terms of age, Wang Shouzhe is a senior at the level of his ancestors.

On the other hand, the old man in charge looked at the spirit stone in his hand, but his heart was pounding and he was stunned.

It wasn't until the person was far away that he woke up like a dream, and excitedly saluted in the direction of the person's departure: "I thank you, sir, for your reward and support."

He met a nobleman today.

Although the noble young master's questions were cumbersome and detailed, they were all things that everyone knew, and he could answer them casually, it just took a while.

With such a small problem, to actually reward a top-quality spirit stone, this young man is too generous~!

With this top-quality spirit stone, his family's embarrassment of lack of money can be greatly alleviated, and the excellent junior in the family can also be fully cultivated and grown up, and perhaps have the opportunity to become an outer disciple of the Wuji Temple.

It's a pity that I couldn't thank the young master properly just now.If I can see him again next time, I must thank him well.

On one side, the old man in charge had a lot of thoughts, but on the other side, Wang Shouzhe didn't care about the top-quality spirit stone he gave casually, and continued to wander in the western suburbs market, feeling the most common prices of materials from the fairy world.

"How do you sell this sixth-grade Wuji Dan? Thirteen thousand celestial crystals per piece? Hundreds of pieces? Can it be cheaper to wholesale more than a thousand pieces? It's interesting~~" Wang Shouzhe is very interested in the sixth-grade Wuji treasure pill.

I think he spent a lot of time and millions of dry gold in order to make a Promise Pellet, which is about [-] to [-] celestial crystals.

The price of this Wuji Treasure Pill is quite cheap, even lower than the self-production cost of Wang's Alchemy Headquarters.

"Huh? Why are cultivation and healing pills so expensive?" Wang Shouzhe casually asked about the prices of other pills, and immediately had new doubts.

However, this question has an immediate answer.

The guard of the shrine surnamed Yao who was following him explained: "Sir, you should know that in the last few hundred thousand years, our wars with the demon world have become more and more frequent and intense. Affected by the war, most of the pills, and The prices of weapons and equipment such as magic treasures and spirit treasures are also rising steadily.”

"I see."

While walking and chatting, Wang Shouzhe soon saw a strange scene on the other side of the market.

It was a labor market, and there were a large number of monks in the realm of heaven and man, the realm of Zifu, and even monks in the realm of supernatural powers, sitting on the floor along the street, with a wooden sign erected in front of each of them.

The wooden signs are all written with densely packed big characters in eye-catching handwriting.

"A spiritual planter at the pinnacle of Heaven and Human Realm is looking for a job. A short-term worker will pay 200 fairy crystals a year. The price of long-term employment including board and lodging is negotiable."

"The alchemist in the Zifu Realm who is proficient in refining third-grade pills, (note: the success rate in one furnace is no less than six pills), begs for a stable position, long-term employment with preferential prices, or can adopt a guaranteed profit share model."

"Supernatural powers and physical training, please support, can do heavy work, not afraid of getting dirty or tired."

"The excellent refining team packs up their bags to apply for a job, and they are already proficient in forging Zifu treasures."

Talent, lots of talent!

Rao was in Wang Shouzhe's state of mind, and his eyes were a little straightened when he saw this scene.

The streets here are full of skilled workers from all walks of life, and the prices are outrageously cheap!
For a moment, he even had an urge to pack up these talents and send them to the world of Shenwu.

Unfortunately.

At present, the channel between Shenwu World and Immortal World is too "narrow", only a few people can be transferred at a time, there is still a certain cooling period, and the consumption is particularly high.

Before the establishment of a large space channel between the sanctuary and the fairy world, facing so many talents, Wang Shouzhe could only sigh.

After inquiring about the situation as usual, he could only reluctantly leave this place full of talents and continue to investigate other places.

And similar investigations continued for several days.

a few days later.

Wang Shouzhe finally finished his preliminary survey in the western suburbs market, and returned to the guest courtyard specially assigned to them by Wuji Shrine for the time being.

Although the Promise Shrine is poor, it is also poor compared to the size of the Shrine.As the saying goes, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", no matter how poor the Wuji Shrine is today, it is no worse than the Immortal League back then. The foundation is there, and the cards for entertaining people are still good.

In order to show her importance, Goddess Xinglan specially instructed the disciples in the palace to allocate this guest courtyard for Wang Shouzhe and others to live in, which itself is a very good courtyard in the Wuji Temple.

This courtyard has a long history at first glance. Although the bricks used for the walls are of the best quality, they have already shown traces of time. However, this does not damage its temperament at all, but adds to A touch of history.

High-level spiritual veins were buried in the courtyard, resulting in an extremely abundant aura in the courtyard, and the spiritual trees of various colors grew extremely vigorously, and at a glance, it seemed that there was a fairy charm flowing.

I don't know if I'm afraid of wasting the abundant spiritual energy in the courtyard. Not only are there spiritual trees planted in the courtyard, there are also spiritual fish and even a festive and auspicious nine-color fairy deer in the courtyard, which looks very lively.

An ordinary nobleman might not like such a lively environment, but Wang Shouzhe liked it quite a bit.

After returning, Wang Shouzhe was not in a hurry to go back to the study. He first chatted with Yi Keshu for a while, and then fed the Nine-Colored Immortal Deer to relax. See and hear.

Judging from the existing data and intelligence, Immortal Realm is in an unhealthy economic crisis state, prices are soaring, but unemployment is very serious.

In addition, the overall economic situation of Xuantian City under the jurisdiction of the Promise Shrine is fairly prosperous.

But why is the Wuji Shrine in such a difficult economic situation?
Wang Shouzhe analyzed it in his mind, and quickly came up with several conjectures.

One of the most reliable speculations is that in order to preserve the inheritance passed down from the ancestors, the Promise Shrine has too many inheritance structures, too many personnel, and huge consumption, resulting in making ends meet.

Moreover, according to Wang Shouzhe's observations, the economic situation of the Promise Shrine is already very bad. At present, even the face of the Shrine, the quasi-goddess Xinglan, looks shabby.

And when the shrine guard surnamed Yao received a "Fairy Spirit Stone" from him as a reward, he was so excited that he almost wanted to call him daddy!

The overall poverty of the shrine can be seen at a glance.

While Wang Shouzhe was recording his experience in the study.

Goddess Xinglan, whom he had branded as "shabby", was pacing up and down at the gate of Wang Shouzhe's guest courtyard, with a somewhat hesitant expression on her face.

She could feel that Mr. Shou Zhe was a rich man, and not just rich, so he should be able to solve the crisis for her.

However, she didn't know how to speak.

After all, this is a family matter of the Wuji Shrine. Although Mr. Shouzhe was born in the Immortal League and has a direct relationship with the Wuji Shrine, he is a "relative" after all, and the two have not known each other for long, so there is no relationship. so close.

Ask him rashly to borrow such a large sum of money, what if Mr. Shou Zhe directly refuses?
If he made some very excessive demands, such as this, that, that, etc., how would she deal with it?

Do you agree?Or hold back and agree?

"His Royal Highness."

Just when Goddess Xinglan was sad, shy, blushing, and full of hesitation, a nine-color fairy deer appeared bouncingly at the gate of the courtyard, and said to her: "Mr. Shouzhe, please go to the study , saying that you should stop sneaking around his door and poking around."

sneaking?

Bah Bah!

Goddess Xinglan blushed again, couldn't help but spit secretly in her heart, but still followed Nine Colors Immortal Deer to Shouzhe's study obediently.

Suddenly, she glanced at the pretty eyes and noticed the abnormality of the Nine Colors Immortal Deer: "Little Deer, what are you munching on?"

"The fairy fudge given by Mr. Shouzhe." The nine-color fairy deer grinned and chewed happily, "it is said to be a syrup made from a variety of fairy rice, and a variety of fairy fruits. The taste is delicious. The young master is rich and gentle, I am already thinking about whether I should turn into a beautiful girl to repay the young master tonight..."

Before Nine Colors Immortal Deer finished speaking, the black-faced Goddess Xinglan grabbed her by the neck and threw her flying.

The Nine-Colored Immortal Deer turned into a long rainbow with a "swish" and disappeared into the distant Milky Way.

soon.

Goddess Xinglan arrived at the door of Wang Shouzhe's study.

She was anxious and shy: "Xing Lan begged to see you, Young Master."
