Then he looked at Shangguan Binglan and said: "Shangguan Binglan, I said a long time ago that this Chao Tianlie is not worth mentioning in front of Wu Bei."
Shangguan Binglan's eyes were dull and she remained silent for a long time.
Zhang Guyue: "I thought you were the chosen one before, so I betrothed you to Wu Bei. But you were so self-righteous that you gave your first time to Chao Tianlie. Alas, your great future is ruined like this."
Shangguan Binglan's chosen body can only strengthen the man's physique for the first time, but unfortunately, she has already given the first time to Chao Tianlie.
Wu Bei didn't care. He had no feelings for Shangguan Binglan in the first place, and the effect of the so-called body of heaven on him was not as good as a pill he refined.
He said to Zhang Guyue: "Master, I will not come back this time. The Xuanming Sect has helped me, and these are my rewards."
He took out a storage ring, handed it to Zhang Guyue, and said: "There are ten trillion immortal coins in it. This amount of money is enough for the Xuanming Sect to use it for a long time."
Zhang Guyue took the money bag with both hands and said excitedly: "This... is too much!"
You must know that the money spent on sending Wu Bei to the Great Five Elements Realm was all borrowed and would take a long time to repay. And Wu Bei gave him ten trillion immortal coins at once, which was enough to buy many Xuanming Sect members.
Got it!
After giving the money to Zhang Guyue, Wu Bei formally bid farewell to him and returned to Guxiu Peak. He took Yun Shang and the girls back to Taiyi Immortal Realm to help her manage Taiyi Danyuan.
Wu Bei gave several girls pills, allowing them to quickly adapt to the environment of the Taiyi Immortal World, and have a fairly weak cultivation level. As time goes by, their cultivation level will continue to improve.
After coming back, Wu Bei found Luo Ningdan and asked her to be his deputy. If he was not around, she would be in charge of Taiyi Danyuan...??m
Luo Ningdan has been practicing in the highest dimension recently. Now her cultivation has reached the Divine Infant realm, and her level of alchemy is not bad either.
On this day, Wu Bei was handling official business. The emperor personally came to visit with several close officials, and Wu Bei led the crowd to welcome him.
The emperor of the Taiyi Dynasty, whose original name was Dongfang Yingming, has almost recovered. Moreover, the fifth prince and his gang were imprisoned and killed. The prince was also found. Although he was injured, he was fine.
Today, the Taiyi Dynasty has returned to normal, and this is all thanks to the help of Wu Bei. Dongfang Yingming is very grateful to him, so he personally brought people to visit him.
"Haha, Da Si Dan, you are the alchemist of Jinding. Has the Alchemy Garden refined any new elixirs?"
Wu Beidao: "Thanks to your Majesty's blessing, I have newly refined a batch of jade soul pills. Please take a look at it."
Hearing that it was the Jade Soul Pill, the alchemists and ministers present were all shocked. Isn't this Jade Soul Pill one of the thirteen prescriptions on the jade tablet? He actually refined it?
Dongfang Yingming's eyes shone and he quickly took the elixir and said with emotion: "Jade Soul Pill! If I had this elixir back then, I wouldn't have those problems with my body!"
Then he said: "According to my decree, Da Si Dan refined the Jade Soul Pill. The merits will last for a long time and will reward the dynasty with half a year's tax revenue!"
Wu Bei was not polite and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Dongfang Yingming smiled and said: "Da Si Dan, with you here, the imperial court no longer has to look at the face of the 'Yuxu Dan Sect'."
Wu Bei had heard of the Yuxu Alchemy Sect, which was as famous as the Ziding Sect and had great influence in the immortal world.
He asked: "Your Majesty, do you still need to buy the elixirs of the imperial dynasty from the Yuxu Alchemy Sect?"
Dongfang Yingming nodded: "There are some elixirs that we can't refine, or we can't refine them with high enough quality. If we don't have them, we can only buy them from others. But the price offered by the Yuxu Alchemy Sect is extremely high, and you have this kind of elixir."
He took out a purple elixir and said: "This is a water-fire refining elixir that can improve your physical condition. It is a sixth-level elixir that is not difficult to refine. However, the previous elixir garden has never been able to refine the best quality elixir."
Water and Fire Form Refining Pill. The best form refining pill, with the best effect and most suitable for the royal children. Therefore, we can only buy it from the Yuxu Pill Sect, and the price of one pill is more than 10 million immortal coins. And the dynasty consumes ten million immortal coins every year.
More than 10,000 pills of the best water and fire refining pills are worth more than 10,000 billion immortal coins. There are many similar examples, which caused Taiyi Danyuan to make ends meet. The tax collected was not only insufficient, but also required financial subsidies."
Wu Bei took a look and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Taiyi Danyuan will not need to buy any elixir from Yuxu Dan Sect in the future."
As soon as this statement came out, the emperor felt that Wu Bei was bragging. You must know that the dynasty had a very large demand for elixirs and there were many types of elixirs. No matter how talented a person was, it was impossible for him to be proficient in refining all elixirs.
An alchemist said: "Da Si Dan, even if you can refine it, I'm afraid you won't be able to provide enough elixirs, right?"
Wu Bei: "The elixirs I can make are limited, but I can teach others. There are tens of thousands of alchemy masters in the Danyuan. I only need to give you some pointers and they can make high-quality elixirs."
The emperor was overjoyed: "Da Si Dan is so generous, this is the best thing to do!"
It is not that Danyuan has never done anything like training alchemists, but it is extremely rare that a master of alchemy like Wu Bei is willing to teach!
After Dongfang Yingming left, Wu Bei gathered the alchemists together, and then conducted an assessment, starting from the understanding of the properties of the medicine and the mastery of the basics of alchemy, and conducted an examination one by one.
Those whose foundation is too poor are required to intensify their training and personally prepare teaching materials for them to learn. Those who still fail to meet the standards after studying will be expelled from Danyuan.
For those who passed the basic assessment, Wu Bei asked them to refine several types of elixirs based on their areas of expertise, so that practice makes perfect. Finally, with some guidance, they could refine high-quality elixirs.
The assessment was left to Luo Ningdan. Wu Bei spent one or two hours every day teaching and giving guidance, and the rest of the time was spent on practice.
Yunshang was mainly responsible for financial accounting. Within a few days, she discovered many loopholes. For example, the quotation of medicinal materials given by the officials below was too high, the quality of the medicinal materials provided was not up to standard, and the alchemist was greedy for elixirs and medicinal materials.
Business collusion and a series of other things.
Wu Bei will not take any blame for these things, but will not allow these people to continue to make money. Anyone who offends again will be punished on the spot and all property will be confiscated.
He was a popular person around the emperor and held great power. As expected, these people restrained themselves a lot. Occasionally, when they caught a few of them, they were dealt with immediately.
Danyuan has its own financial system. Even if the royal family wants to use the elixirs here, they still need to settle the accounts with money. Prior to this, the royal family and the military supplies department had not settled their accounts for more than a year, and owed huge debts.
.
The former Grand Secretary Dan went to collect debts every few days. After Wu Bei got the IOU, he went directly to Emperor Dongfang Yingming.
The cost of purchasing elixirs for more than a year totaled up to 275 trillion yuan. Even Dongfang Yingming was shocked by such a large amount of money. He was too embarrassed not to give it, so he had to call the Minister of Finance. As a result,
Once calculated, the treasury didn't have that much money, so it could only settle half of it first, and the remaining one month later.
The emperor was very angry about this. He remembered that a few years ago, the national treasury was dozens of times more than it is now, and there must be something wrong with it. So the next time, the emperor sent his cronies to check, and found out many greedy officials, and then
Their homes were confiscated one by one. Even if some royal nobles participated, they would all be confiscated and severely punished!
