In Zhangjiabao on Jiling Island, flames shot into the sky.
In the light of the fire, three sword fairy puppets each carried a huge luggage and left in the air.
Two thousand miles away.
Su Ming was sitting on the deck of the spirit boat, with a mini fairy palace floating on his chest.
More than half an hour later.
There was a rumble in the sky.
Su Ming opened his eyes, and three white figures suddenly appeared in front of it. They were the three Sword Immortal puppets he sent out.
The three Sword Immortal puppets in front of them each carried luggage nearly as tall as a person.
The contents of these three bags, except for the other shrunken paper puppets, were all storage bags seized from the Zhang family.
Su Ming sent paper puppets to search carefully in the newly built Zhangjia Fort, and found that there was no storage of spiritual stones and treasures in Zhangjia Fort.
Perhaps it was because Su Ming took advantage of the absence of the Zhang family's elite to drain the Zhang family's salary last time, which made Zhang Daoquan wary.
This time, he actually carried all the Zhang family's belongings with him so that no outsiders could take advantage of them.
But he didn't expect that this approach would actually benefit Su Ming.
Because there are some differences between his paper puppets and monks, they don't know how to use storage bags.
If the Zhang family stored their belongings in Zhangjiabao, Su Ming would have to sail there to transport them.
But in this way, if someone investigates the reason why the Zhang family was wiped out in the future, they will inevitably find clues about Su Ming.
Unlike now, even if the Nascent Soul cultivator goes to Jiling Island in person and uses the great magical power of going back in time to investigate, at most he can only find the Sword Immortal puppet.
We will never find Su Ming who is two thousand miles away.
Next.
Su Ming took all the paper puppets, including the three sword immortal puppets, into the Hall of Immortals, and then threw three large packages into the cabin of the spirit boat.
After doing all this, he drove his spirit boat back toward Tianshu Island.
Three days later.
Su Ming's spirit boat docked at the harbor dock of Tianshu Island.
After paying a sum of spirit stones, Su Ming anchored the spirit boat at the port.
In the past three days, Su Ming carefully counted the harvest from Zhang's house. If he didn't check, he wouldn't know. If he checked, he would be shocked.
Su Ming never expected that the Zhang family would be so wealthy.
The difference between the spiritual stone treasures he had robbed from the Zhang family in Shangyang County and the spiritual stone treasures he found in Zhang Daoquan's storage bag was almost ten times greater.
Then, Su Ming thought of the night Zhang Daoquan led the Zhang family to rob Qingshui Fang City, and guessed that these spiritual stone treasures were probably Zhang Daoquan's harvest from robbing Qingshui Fang City.
Unexpectedly, after going around and around, everything turned out to be advantageous for Su Ming, and the entire Zhang family was wiped out.
Almost more than 90% of the property seized from the Zhang family was concentrated in Zhang Daoquan's storage bag.
Zhang Daoquan's storage bag is of the same grade as Su Ming's, both are second-grade top grade. The space inside the storage bag is quite amazing.
Not to mention other things, Zhang Daoquan's storage bag contains as much as 270,000 Guangling Stones.
If it were used to buy foundation-building pills, even if they were purchased at a high price of 50,000 spirit stones each, Zhang Daoquan could still buy more than five.
In addition to the spiritual stones, Zhang Daoquan's storage bag also contains spiritual rice seeds needed for the subsequent development of the family.
In order to re-develop the Zhang family in Yaoyuanshui, Zhang Daoquan purchased the spiritual rice seeds from the best ones in the market.
In addition to spiritual rice seeds, Su Ming also found a large number of magical weapons, spiritual pills, elixirs, and even spiritual ores for refining magical weapons in Zhang Daoquan's storage bag.
The total value of these items is at least over 350,000 spiritual stones!
The last time Su Ming seized spiritual stones from the Zhang family, they only amounted to thirty thousand.
Moreover, this is only Zhang Daoquan's storage bag. The total amount of spiritual stone treasures in the storage bags of other monks in the Zhang family is almost one-tenth of Zhang Daoquan's.
All in all, the property that Su Ming seized from the Zhang family this time was converted into spiritual stones, which amounted to 380,000 spiritual stones!
Of course, many of these treasures need to be dealt with, such as magic weapons, elixirs, elixirs, spiritual ores, etc.
In terms of spirit stones alone, the total number of spirit stones seized from the Zhang family is probably close to 280,000.
What is a wave of sudden wealth? This is called a wave of sudden wealth!
Su Ming finally understood why Zhang Daoquan took such a big risk and cooperated with the demon cultivator to rob Qingshuifang City.
The wealth in Qingshuifang City is really impressive.
On a normal day, the combined wealth of all the Zhang family in Shangyang County would not exceed 200,000 spirit stones.
But just one robbery from Qingshui Fang City was nearly twice as much as the wealth accumulated by the Zhang family over several generations.
Any family in Lizhou would probably be tempted to rob the Zhang family.
Previously, Yu Jiaolong of Lanyu Island did not know that the Zhang family was so rich. Otherwise, let alone Zhang Jingchen, who was not a disciple of the Xianxia sect, even if he was a disciple of the Xianxia sect, the leader of the pirate cultivators of Lanyu Island would still rob him.
.
It is true that Yu Jiaolong is cautious, but in the face of such a huge sum of money, no matter how cautious the monk is, he will probably lose his head, let alone Yu Jiaolong himself is a bandit.
"Great, with these spiritual stones, my farming plan can continue!"
Su Ming's eyes were full of surprise.
He put all the items in the Zhang family monk's storage bags into two second-level high-quality storage bags.
Then, other storage bags were placed in the cabin of the spirit boat, and a paper puppet was left to guard the belongings.
then.
Su Ming got off the boat, took the wooden sedan lifted up by the paper puppet, and rushed towards Yaoyuan Taoist Temple.
The farming plan envisioned by Su Ming.
It involves two aspects, one is to create a paper man that can farm on its own, and the other is the fairy island needed for farming.
Although robbery is the fastest way to make money, it is also the most dangerous.
It's okay to do this once or twice. If robbery becomes a habit and attracts the attention of Yaoyuan Taoist Academy and even Xianxia Sect, Su Ming will be close to death.
So even if he made a fortune in the Zhang family, he had no intention of switching to a pirate career.
Since Su Ming could not follow the path of stealing, even though Su Ming made a fortune, it could fully support his cultivation during the Qi training period.
But what about after practicing Qi?
After the foundation is successfully built, the resources Su Ming needs will be even greater.
Whether it is the Hall of Immortals, the paper puppets, or even Su Ming's own cultivation, it will consume a lot of resources.
Adding these resources together, 280,000 spiritual stones are just a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, Su Ming must consider running the industry as soon as possible.
Whether in Lizhou or Lanzhou.
Every high-level monk has his own property.
Because only a steady stream of resources can support the terrifying cultivation expenditure of high-level monks.
And Su Ming probably consumed even more resources than these high-level monks.
Therefore, developing the industry is very important to him.
Farming on Xiandao was the first industry that Su Ming thought of.
However, before the plan goes forward, the first thing Su Ming needs to do is not even to create a new type of paper puppet for farming, but to investigate the market.
Thinking of this, Su Ming couldn't help but think of a person.
The next day.
Yaoyuan Taoist Temple Zuixian Tower.
"Brother Luo, here!"
On the second floor of Zuixian Building, Su Ming stood in front of the wine table and waved to Luo Xiao, who was looking around.
Luo Xiao saw Su Ming and walked over quickly with a smile on his face.
"Brother Su!"
The two of them got very drunk together in a restaurant last time, and their relationship was officially promoted from Daoyou Su to Brother Su.
Wait for the two of you to sit down.
Su Ming personally poured wine for Luo Xiao and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, you drank me hard last time!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiao blushed, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Su, please stop making fun of me."
"Ha ha!"
When Su Ming heard this, he immediately laughed.
The last time the two of them had a drinking contest, Luo Xiao was actually drunk directly by Su Ming.
Luo Xiao thought he had a good drinking capacity, but he didn't expect Su Ming to be such a good drinker.
You know, the last time they drank, the two of them didn't cheat, and they didn't use their true energy to force the alcohol out of their bodies.
Su Ming relied on his strong physique to forcefully defeat Luo Xiao.
Seemingly thinking of something, Luo Xiao probed: "Brother Su, you have such an extraordinary ability to drink. Is it because you are born with it, or have you acquired some kind of physical training technique?"
"Um,"
Su Ming nodded, "I have practiced a body-training technique called the "Raging Sea Giant Whale Technique", which can greatly enhance the Qi, blood and physical constitution."
"No wonder!"
Luo Xiao let out a wailing cry, "I have been drinking since I was ten years old. It has been more than seven years now, and I still can't drink as much as you, Brother Su!"
"hey-hey."
Su Ming smiled and said nothing.
"Forget it, I won't drink with you again next time."
Luo Xiao shook his head.
It's really uncomfortable to have a drink with a monk who has practiced physical training.
Facing Su Ming's frankness, Luo Xiao said nothing, but in his heart he felt that this man was a trustworthy person.
"Brother Su is looking for me this time. Does he still want to have a bar fight with me?"
Luo Xiao said with vigilance.
"Brother Luo, don't be afraid, I'm not asking you to have a drinking contest this time,"
Su Ming smiled and shook his head, his face a little more serious, "Su came here this time because he wants to ask Brother Luo about something."
"What's up?"
Luo Xiao took a bite of food and said while eating.
"Last time I heard Brother Luo say that your family breeds Lingbei, right?"
"right,"
Luo Xiao nodded, "Besides Xingluo Island, our family has also developed a fairy island specifically for Lingbei cultivation.
Why, Brother Su is also interested in breeding Lingbei?"
Su Ming cupped his hands and said, "To be honest, Brother Luo, I am currently worried about how to earn spiritual stones."
He sighed: "Brother Luo, you also know that the tuition fee of Yaoyuan Taoist Academy is one thousand spiritual stones per year, and my sister and I add up to two thousand spiritual stones per year.
My sister is still learning alchemy, which is another huge expense.
Although I have accumulated some wealth by refining weapons in Lizhou, if I continue to live in vain, I will end up living on the streets sooner or later."
Luo Xiao nodded and said: "Brother Su really needs to consider running an industry. Even if Brother Su enters the Xianxia Sect in the future, if there are not enough resources to support him, the path of cultivation will be extremely difficult."
These words can be described as heart-to-heart words.
If Luo Xiao hadn't thought that Su Ming was a trustworthy person, he would never have said these words to him.
After thinking about it, Su Ming said bluntly: "In Brother Luo's opinion, what are the benefits of planting spiritual fields in Yaoyuan Water Realm?"
“Planting spiritual fields?”
Luo Xiao pondered for a while, "I can only say that the business is similar to Lingbei's, or even worse."
Before Su Ming could ask, he analyzed one by one: "As we all know, since Lanzhou is mostly covered by sea, the price of spiritual rice in Lanzhou is higher than that in the surrounding Lizhou and Hengzhou.
But because there are many islands here, it is not suitable for planting spiritual fields.
For example, in Lizhou, a spiritual cultivator in the late stage of Qi training can even cultivate fifty acres of spiritual fields in a year if he works hard.
Even if the price of spiritual rice is low, one acre of spiritual land can only earn four or five spiritual stones in a year, but it can earn more than two hundred spiritual stones in a year.
It is much more difficult to cultivate spiritual fields on our islands in Yaoyuanshui. Even if the spiritual planters work hard, they can only cultivate twenty acres of spiritual fields in a year.
Even if one acre of spiritual land can earn seven or eight spiritual stones, it is still not as much as in Lizhou and Hengzhou. This is why most of our monks here breed spiritual shells, but few cultivate spiritual fields."
Su Ming shook his head. Luo Xiao obviously didn't understand Lizhou, at least in Shangyang County of Lizhou, due to the oppression of the Xiuxian Family and Qingshuifang City.
If a spiritual cultivator can earn one hundred spiritual stones in one year, it is considered a good harvest.
Especially after the Zhang family monopolized the spiritual rice market in Qingshuifang City, they almost harvested the spiritual rice from both the spiritual cultivators and the casual cultivators who purchased it, which was extremely shameless.
It's also thanks to the invasion of demonic cultivators early, otherwise the Zhang family might be richer than if they had robbed Qingshuifang City after operating like this for more than ten years.
"So, planting spiritual fields is no longer worthwhile?"
"Not worth it,"
Luo Xiao shook his head, "The Xianxia Sect promises that casual cultivators will cultivate spiritual fields for five years before they can enter Yaoyuan Taoist Temple. There are also many reasons why spiritual cultivators are unwilling to cultivate spiritual fields.
But the price of spiritual rice cannot rise, otherwise it will have a serious impact on the practice of the bottom-level casual cultivators, thus affecting the stability of Lanzhou."
Luo Xiao's words gave Su Ming a general understanding of the Lingmi market in Lanzhou.
That is, the market demand for spiritual rice in Lanzhou is huge, but the price is only slightly higher than that in Lizhou, about 1.5 spiritual stones per 100 kilograms of spiritual rice.
But at the same time, for individual monks, the benefits of planting spiritual fields are not as good as cultivating spiritual shells.
It is precisely for this reason that the demand for Lingmi is greater.
"In order to control the price of spiritual rice, Xianxia Sect has established an organization called Lingmi Division, which is dedicated to the unified purchase of spiritual rice throughout Lanzhou."
Luo Xiao continued, "In Lanzhou, the purchase and sale of Lingmi all go through Lingmi.
Otherwise, the spiritual rice cultivated by Ling Zhifu is sold privately to Lingmi Pu, and the spiritual rice purchased by Ling Zhifu privately by Lingmi Pu is against the laws of the Xianxia Sect."
sharp!
Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the Xianxia Sect.
The reason why Lizhou is in chaos is because Lingbaoshan ignores the low-level casual cultivators.
The price confusion of Lingmi is the most important reason for the chaos in Lizhou.
The casual cultivators at the bottom cannot afford to take spiritual pills for their cultivation. For them, spiritual rice is the most important cultivation resource.
And not being able to afford spiritual rice means cutting off the path of cultivation for low-level casual cultivators.
As a result, if there is no chaos in Lizhou, there will be ghosts.
On the other hand, the Xianxia Sect not only gives the lower-level casual cultivators a way to ascend - the Taoist Academy.
It also severely cracked down on the price of spiritual rice and established a special Lingmi Division to maintain the stability of spiritual rice prices.
Comparing the two, Su Ming felt that Lingbaoshan was not worthy of carrying shoes for Xianxia Sect in terms of sect and management of the territory under its jurisdiction.
If the Xianxia Sect and Lingbaoshan were compared to two countries.
One is the rising sun in the east, the other is the setting sun in the west.
Think of this.
Su Ming raised his hand to Luo Xiaogong and asked: "If I want to hire people to open up a fairy island and cultivate spiritual fields, do I need to buy a spiritual island from the Xianxia Sect?"
"Brother Su really wants to plant spiritual fields?"
Luo Xiao looked surprised, but then he shook his head, "Why buy the fairy island from the Xianxia Sect? There are so many desert islands in the Yaoyuan Water Realm, and the chart I gave Brother Su only marked a very small part of them.
The requirements for the island environment for planting spiritual fields are not very high, but if you want to develop a fairy island, you need to prepare more things."
