Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

When he arrived at the garden reserved by the Chu family, Fang Qingyuan saw Chu Wen waiting for him at the door.

It had not been long since Chu Wen had formed his Nascent Soul, at most only about ten years later than himself. However, at that time, there were only less than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators present at his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony. Compared with the scene at Chu Shentong's previous Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, it was much more shabby.

However, when Chu Shentong was forming his infant, Chu Zhen, the pillar of the Chu family, was still alive. At that time, the Chu family was still in great prosperity. Now, in just a hundred years, the Chu family has declined.

But now the Chu family has three Yuanyings, and can recover some of their former momentum. With Chu Wen forming a Yuanying, Chu Shentong's life has become much better than before.

"Brother, are you waiting for me on purpose?"

Chu Wen nodded, "Senior Sister Hongshang is waiting for you, let me go and meet her."

Fang Qingyuan looked at Chu Wen, who had a tall and straight figure, with black hair fluttering in the wind, a small wine gourd on his waist and the Seven-Star Sword on his back, perfectly fitting the demeanor of a wine lover and a free-spirited man.

The three Yuanyings of the Chu family all have their own personalities: wild, arrogant, and straightforward. How can such completely different personalities be cultivated in one family?

Following Chu Wen, Fang Qingyuan came to the garden and saw Chu Hongshang teaching Chu Shentong a lesson.

Chu Shentong sat there obediently. When he saw Fang Qingyuan coming, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

As expected, Chu Hongshang turned her attention to Fang Qingyuan and said:

"Sixteen years later, when the next war breaks out, are you willing to help my Chu family once?"

Fang Qingyuan found a place to sit down and said seriously:

"Of course I have to help. Senior Sister Hongshang has helped me so much before. I am very grateful. I will definitely be there in sixteen years."

"Okay, I knew I was right about you. Come, drink."

Chu Hongshang laughed loudly, not caring about her image at all. Chu Shentong and Chu Wen were used to it, and in front of Fang Qingyuan, Chu Hongshang had no need to disguise herself.

She, Chu Hongshang, threw aside all the magnanimity of the Nascent Soul Patriarch and just wanted to have fun.

After discussing this most crucial issue, all that remains is to reminisce about the past and exchange feelings.

Over the past few years, the Chu family's situation within Qiyun has improved a lot. The main reason for this is that the long-distance confrontation between Awakening Lion and the Lord of Tiandi Peak was caused by the Gao family's attempt to murder Chu Hongshang.

Now the Gao family's Nascent Soul has been punished to be in seclusion for a hundred years. Only thirty years have passed, and it will take another seventy years before it can come out.

Without this victim who hated the Chu family the most, although the remaining Qiyun family still disliked the Chu family, they would not deliberately make things difficult for them.

However, the Chu family's assets were also shrinking. The family business had shrunk by 70% to 80% compared to when Chu Zhen was alive. As a result, Chu Shentong's cultivation resources were greatly affected.

The fact that Chu Wen was able to successfully conceive a fetus under such circumstances was mostly due to the help of his good friends. Chu Wen was a free and easy-going person, and he established a Xiaoyao Society together with a group of Jindan monks in the cultivation world. It was precisely because of these resources that he was able to successfully conceive a fetus.

Of course, external resources are only part of the reason; the main reason is Chu Wen’s character and qualifications.

Among the three Yuanyings of the Chu family, none of them are mediocre, and there are endless golden elixirs in the sect. In comparison, when will his Qingyuan Sect be able to cultivate such talents?

Fang Qingyuan drank the wine and felt a little uncomfortable. When it comes to training the younger generation, he is just a makeshift team.

Now in Qingyuan Sect, only Jiang Wanqin shows signs of forming a pill, and she is still traveling outside. It has been almost twenty years, and she has not returned yet. If it weren't for the inextinguishable soul lamp, Fang Qingyuan would have sent people to look for her.

As for the remaining disciples, Jue Wugui has just grown up and only succeeded in building his foundation last year. It will take many years before he can be released to take charge on his own.

Liu Xun showed no signs of forming a golden elixir. The reason was that as the head of the sect, he had too many things to worry about, which delayed his practice.

Now, Liu Xun is about 120 to 130 years old. At this age, it is probably impossible for him to form a pill.

Liu Xun is now handling affairs in Baishan and making final preparations for the migration of Qingyuan Sect. The person in charge here is Jiang Tianfang, who leads 300 disciples to work for Fang Qingyuan.

I have already become a Nascent Soul, but there is still no Golden Core born in the sect. This is really unacceptable. The sect cannot be supported by only relying on the Foundation Establishment disciples like Jiang Tianfang. Do we really have to rely on some local Golden Core forces?

Or maybe the time was too short and they grew too fast, so the Qingyuan Sect couldn't keep up. Everyone in the world thought that the Qingyuan Sect was a burden, but to develop from a piece of land and a few Qi-refining monks to this point in less than a hundred years was already very rare.

Take your time. You have a long life and your immortal palace is also developing vigorously. There is no need to be too anxious.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingyuan felt much calmer. All the thoughts triggered by the Chu family's three Yuanyings were calmed down. He raised the wine jar and looked at Chu Hongshang's wanton laughter, which he also found very interesting.

After coming out of Chu Garden, Fang Qingyuan went to his own R&D workshop to check the situation.

Three months ago, Fang Qingyuan asked his subordinates, those high-level talisman makers and weapon refiners, to develop a spiritual energy collecting array according to their own needs, and there has been great progress in recent times.

When they arrived at the workshop in the East Fifth District, they found that the person in charge of the workshop was an old cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. He was originally the assistant of the workshop. During Fang Qingyuan's cleansing, it was found that this old cultivator had no problems, so Fang Qingyuan instructed him to be the manager.

The original workshop manager was sent to the Tian family by Fang Qingyuan because of corruption. Before leaving, Fang Qingyuan also plundered this man's assets. He couldn't just let him leave so openly.

This workshop in the East Fifth District is not large in scale in the entire market, it is just medium in size.

Originally there was only one third-level and a dozen second-level masters working there. Now, after being taken care of by Fang Qingyuan, it has become a large workshop with three third-level masters. Although the land is still the same size, the people are different, and the level has been raised.

When he entered the workshop, the manager came up to greet him. Fang Qingyuan offered him a good salary, enough to support him for the rest of his life.

"Master, recently our workshop has been producing 400,000 newspapers a day, and the demand is increasing. This piece of land is not enough. Do you think we can open a branch workshop?"

The original workshop only occupied three courtyards. Now the innermost courtyard is reserved for senior masters to develop new things, and the remaining space is not enough to produce more newspapers.

In the past few months, the sales of "Qiyun Daily" have been climbing every day, from hundreds of thousands of copies at the beginning to 400,000 copies today. This new and fast thing has attracted a large number of Qiyun natives who are not short of money.

The most important thing is that the writing style of "Qiyun Daily" is sharp and they dare to say anything. With the support of Fang Qingyuan, "Qiyun Daily" exposes some unfair things, and the response it has caused in Qiyun City is very enthusiastic.

Afterwards, there were forces that wanted to cause trouble for the Qiyun Daily, but when they found out that the newspaper's backer was the now-powerful Fang Qingyuan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, they silently endured it and either played dead or made improvements. Anyway, no one dared to cause trouble.

Of course, what the "Qiyun Daily" has revealed so far only covers the scope of the Jindan forces, and the people of Qingyuan Sect do not have the ability to dig out higher secrets.

Fang Qingyuan was also seriously considering what the manager said. This workshop in the East Fifth District was indeed not suitable as the main production site for the daily newspaper.

East Fifth District is the wealthy area of ​​Qiyun City, where every inch of land is valuable. The larger production area required to produce daily reports cannot be met here.

The current daily output of 400,000 copies is already the result of the blessing of various spells. It would be very difficult to increase it further.

Moreover, the daily newspaper industry does not require high technical content and can be produced anywhere.

In addition, the disciples of Qingyuan Sect who come to pick up newspapers and distribute them every day have to cross half of the city to get here, which is too troublesome.

It would be better to simply move the production base of the daily newspaper to the remote western district, and then hire some idle monks to distribute the newspapers, thus saving the disciples of Qingyuan Sect the boredom of these days.

After reading this, Fang Qingyuan nodded and said:

"Go and discuss with Jiang Tianfang. Buy a few plots of land in the lower-ranked market town in the western district and use them as the main production area. Free up this place and use it as a dedicated research and development workshop in the future."

After receiving the order, the manager nodded and took note of it. At this time, the three high-level talisman makers and weapon refiners in the backyard also came out to greet them.

Among the three high-level talisman makers and weapon refiners assigned to Fang Qingyuan by Tian Jin, only one was at the Golden Core stage, while the others were at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The practice of the hundred arts is divided into four levels: one, two, three, and four. The third level represents the ability to create items suitable for Jindan monks.

The status of a third-level talisman maker or a third-level weapon refiner is not much different from that of a Jindan cultivator. They are all respected. In Qiyun, the level of cultivation of a cultivator is not the only criterion for judgment.

The leader was a taciturn middle-aged male cultivator. His dark face was covered with marks from years of being provoked by various earth fires. He had sparse hair and beard, and his eyebrows were dry and yellow. At first glance, he was obviously a very powerful refining master.

"Master Jiao, how is the development of the spiritual energy sound-receiving device I mentioned earlier going?"

Master Jiao said in a muffled voice:

"Based on your idea, Master, we have designed several sound-receiving instruments, but whether they suit your taste or not, you still need to take a look and give your evaluation."

The two high-level talisman makers on the side were a couple who had the ability to make talismans together. The previous set of daily newspaper printing array was also made by these two people.

Fang Qingyuan nodded in agreement and suggested going to the backyard to watch. Master Jiao agreed, so the group went to the backyard.

Coming here and entering the inner room, in the huge house, the earth fire furnace made a huge roar, but it was blocked by the silent barrier.

Master Jiao took out three samples in total. After Fang Qingyuan checked them one by one, he sighed in his heart.

None of the three samples met his requirements. Either they were too clumsy or the production cost was too high. Another one was achieved by a tricky method and was not suitable for mass production.

"The most important thing about a spiritual power sound-receiving instrument is that it is easy to carry. It cannot be too clumsy, but must be simple and convenient enough. It would be best if it could be used by ordinary people without requiring any spiritual power to operate it.

This one is too big, two meters long, which mortal can carry it? This one is too expensive, almost as expensive as a first-grade top-grade magic weapon. Apart from those foundation-building cultivators, most of the Qi-refining cultivators and most of the mortals, who would be willing to buy it? "

Fang Qingyuan once again put forward his requirements. It should be small and delicate, and the cost should be controlled at about ten low-grade spirit stones. This is the money that a mortal family can save in a year or two. If the price is too high, it will be difficult to sell.

Fang Qingyuan's target is not those cultivators with high cultivation base who are building foundations. There are only a few of these cultivators added together, less than 10,000, while the sinking market has nearly 10 million.

Moreover, Fang Qingyuan is not trying to create a toy for high-level cultivators to play with. This is something that can affect future changes. It must be rooted in the bottom layer in order to change the foundation soil of Qiyun.

Listening to Fang Qingyuan's request, Master Jiao touched his bald head and silently promised:

"I understand. I will improve it. Come back and see the next version in three months."

As soon as Fang Qingyuan walked out of the workshop, he was stopped by Jiang Tianfang who had rushed over after hearing the news.

"Master, another newspaper has appeared on the market. They have followed our example and started looking for bookstores from all over the country to cooperate with. If it weren't for them, our daily newspaper would have already exceeded the 500,000 copy mark."

Listening to Jiang Tianfang's complaints, Fang Qingyuan smiled casually:

"This is a good thing. Let them do it. Competition brings pressure. You won't feel bad about the annual revenue of just a few hundred high-quality spirit stones, right?"
