City Lord's Mansion.

An old man in a yellow gown bowed to the figure in the secret room and said, "City Lord, the portrait and birth date of the girl from the Hu family have been sent."

The figure in the magic circle nodded slightly and said, "Send it to Young Master Dongyuan."

Hearing this, the old man in yellow shirt hesitated for a while and said hesitantly, "I saw that the appearance in the portrait is quite handsome, but his qualifications are a bit lacking."

"What qualifications are they?" Old City Lord Jin suddenly raised his eyes, and two sword-like cold lights burst out.

"Yes, it's the Three Spiritual Roots." The old man in yellow shirt was shocked by Old City Lord Jin's eyes that seemed to be real, and he said hurriedly.

There was no emotion or anger on Old City Lord Jin's ravaged face, and he said in a cold voice, "What's your name? Who is the daughter of the Hu family?"

The old man in yellow shirt quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said respectfully, "The Lord of the Return City, his name is Hu Ruyi, and he is the granddaughter of Hu Weiyi."

"Hu Weiyi?" Old City Lord Jin pondered, "I seem to remember that he is the only one of the tenth level of Qi Refining among the Hu clan in Yuchuan today?"

"Exactly." The old man in yellow shirt said hurriedly.

"Um."

Old City Lord Jin lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "How long will it take for Qi'er to come back?"

When the old man in yellow shirt heard that Old City Master Jin mentioned the golden chess piece, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Young City Master shined brilliantly in this Hedao Sect inner sect competition. He made it to the top three with great momentum and won the attention of the sect.

Now the elders are discussing the matter of the disciples choosing a master, I think it must wait until this happens before the young city lord can take leave to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives."

"Then it's almost over." After hearing this, Old City Master Jin finally showed a somewhat pleased expression on his face and murmured to himself.

…

Hujiadongyuan.

"For the sake of justice, I have sent someone to the city lord's palace this morning for Ruyi's birth date. I think the marriage between the two of them will be decided soon." Hu Yuyuan, who was sitting behind the desk, looked at the white figure standing in the hall and spoke in a relaxed tone.

road.

When Hu Weiyi heard this, he frowned and said, "Clan leader, I heard that the young city master of the Jin family has passed the inner sect competition and was successfully promoted to a direct disciple of the Hedao Sect, while my family's Ruyi is only a third-level spiritual root with average qualifications. I'm afraid this matter

Regeneration variables.”

Hu Yuyuan shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this. If the Jin family wants to take over my Hu family through marriage, then he will definitely find ways to marry the most qualified daughter of my Hu family."

"But Ruyi is not the most qualified among the younger generation." Hu Weiyi said in a low tone.

"I understand what you mean, but the others do not meet the requirements of Old City Lord Jin." Hu Yuyuan sighed.

Hu Weiyi gritted his teeth with an ugly face and said, "Well, since Old City Master Jin doesn't intend to let the Young City Master and I, the daughter of the Hu clan, practice dual cultivation, if it's just for marriage, why do you need the spiritual root attribute? Clan leader, don't you think this is a bit strange?

?”

Hu Yuyuan pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then said, "What you said makes some sense, but it may be that the Jin family is looking for a reason for the marriage with my Hu family."

"I think there are only one or two water spirit root female cultivators with three spiritual root qualifications among the other three families. It's not a suitable reason." Hu Weiyi retorted again.

"The matter has reached this point, there is no way out."

Hu Yuyuan frowned, but soon there was a look of hope on his face, and he said, "Weixian is about to be released from seclusion. If he succeeds in the mid-stage attack on the foundation, my Hu family will be able to rely on it a little more."

."

Hearing this, Hu Weiyi showed a look of envy on his face, and said respectfully, "Head of the clan, there is no need to worry too much. Brother, he will definitely be able to break through smoothly."

…

For more than a month, Liu Xiaolu ran to Zongyuan City every now and then, while Hu Yizhi practiced behind closed doors every day and didn't pay much attention to it.

Since the opening of Bailianmen, the business of Wanxiang Pavilion has indeed become much deserted. Except for some old and regular customers, there are very few new customers coming to the door.

For some reason, the prices of various low- and medium-grade magical instruments produced by Bailian Sect are fully 30% lower than those of Wanxiang Pavilion.

It would have been just a promotion during the opening days, but for more than a month, Bailian Sect has not raised the price even half a cent.

With such a low price, not to mention those cash-strapped casual cultivators, even many cultivators from various families were very excited and came to buy the magical artifacts one after another.

For a time, Bailianmen's popularity in Zongyuan City was unparalleled, far surpassing that of Louwanxiang's Wanxiang Pavilion.

It seems that they are really just trying to steal customers and crowd out the Wanxiang Pavilion. Apart from selling magic weapons at low prices, Bailian Sect has not done anything else.

On this day, Luo Lin accompanied Liu Xiaolu to Granny Qu's shop to help.

It was as usual in the candy shop, with a sporadic diners and bleak business.

After clearing away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but ask, "Xiaolin, the Bailian Sect has been on sale at a low price for more than a month. They keep selling magic weapons at 30% off. Do they still make money?

?”

Luo Lin shook his head and said, "The price of the magical artifacts sold in Wanxiang Pavilion is not high, and after factoring in the material cost, the profit is only about 20 to 30%.

This is under the premise that Lou Lao has superb craftsmanship, materials rarely suffer accidental loss, and there are only two guys in Wanxiang Pavilion, Lou Muyu and me.

And the Hundred Refining Sect has a large number of people, all of whom are immortal cultivators, so the cost of this alone must be staggering.

Under such circumstances, they still insist on selling the magic weapon at 30% off the price of Wanxiang Pavilion, so they must have suffered a considerable loss."

"You said that Old Man Bi and Grandpa Lou have a grudge, so forget it, but what do the financial backers who support Old Man Bi think?

In the past month, the number of magic weapons sold in Bailian Sect has been at least 180, right?

Is it possible that that person spent so much money just to help Old Man Bi vent his anger and crowd out the Wanxiang Pavilion?" Liu Xiaolu held his chin and asked doubtfully.

"The relationship between Mr. Lou and the families in Zongyuan City is quite harmonious. I heard that the weapon refiner surnamed Bi is still in Liuyuan City and has not come with his disciples. Maybe the family behind Bailian Sect

The power comes from Liuyuan City." Luo Lin guessed.

Liu Xiaolu blinked his eyes when he heard this and said, "Where is Liu Yuancheng?"

Luo Lin shook his head, obviously not clear about this.

Granny Qu, who had been sitting aside and listening to the two chatting, suddenly said at this moment, "Liuyuan City is three hundred miles west of Zongyuan City. It is also a large city where many immortal cultivators gather."

"Three hundred miles? How far is that..." Liu Xiaolu was stunned, thinking that it was far enough from Muyue Mountain to Zongyuan City.

The three of them rode a carriage day and night, and it took them three or four days to reach Zongyuan City. However, even so, the distance between the two places was only more than a hundred miles.

"It may be very far for a mortal, but for a monk in the foundation-building stage, it only takes half a day." Granny Qu shook her head and smiled.

Yes, Granny Qu is a foundation-building monk. She may have been to Liuyuan City before.
