The Hengduan Mountains they plan to go to are famous for their monsters, but in addition to monsters, there are also a lot of dangers, such as mosquitoes, swamps, deep pools, foggy valleys, miasma... There are too many strange places that can kill people, and there are not a lot of them. With the magic weapon and talisman in hand, I can't cope with it at all.
And these things, especially the talismans, accounted for a large part of the high cost of developing Hengduan Mountain.
A few years ago, few people could conduct in-depth development or even carve out territory in the Hengduan Mountains. This was largely the problem - the cost was too high.
The lowest level fire talisman costs five taels of silver. After entering the mountain, you can use it casually. You can easily get out dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of talismans of various colors. You dare not easily Going into the mountains?
A few high-level monks, relying on their rich wealth and outstanding cultivation, can go in and search for the needed heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but with dozens or hundreds of monks digging in, who can get such a talisman?
Even if you have enough money, you can’t find it on the market!
Now, with the Talisman Refining Technique, not only the cost of mid- to low-level Talismans has been reduced to one-tenth of its original value, but the quantity available on the market has also increased tenfold or dozens of times.
In a few years, when the talisman refining method becomes more popular, or when Sunque Island falls under the control of the Ming Dynasty, the cost of talismans can be greatly reduced, and the number will be doubled.
Lou Huanqiu was a little worried, fearing that he would not be able to buy a large number of talismans from Qinzhou. He was a Taoist priest at Zhenqing Hall in Kunming Prefecture. The talisman refining platform had been available for two and a half years, but most of the halls and pavilions were still waiting for goods. There is no such thing as Qingguan. In the whole Yunnan, only Longquan Pavilion has obtained twenty Dharma tables.
After all, Yunnan still has Master Yu sitting in the Zhenshi Hall. What about Guangxi? There is really no one in the Zhenshi Hall. The two of them plan to buy as much as they can in Qinzhou, and then go to Nanning to see the Zhenwu Pavilion. Do you have it? If it still doesn't work, let Zhang buy it in Yingtian first.
But unexpectedly, Qinzhou Beidi Pavilion really exists!
It turned out that seven days ago, they had just received an advance supply from Junshan Technology, and the quantity was not small, a total of thirty-two units. It was said that they had agreed to Junshan Technology and promised to supply a large amount of flying talismans to the outside world and not to hide any secrets.
Tong Baimei and Lou Huanqiu looked at each other and both knew that this must be the Taoist sect's plan in advance for the promulgation of the "Fiefdom Law", and they felt a little more urgent.
Buy buy buy!
There are 2,000 gold, wood, water, fire, and earth talismans each, 3,000 defense talismans, 1,000 wind talismans, 500 restraining talismans, 200 golden armor and gold military talismans, and two hundred spirit gathering talismans...
This suddenly amounts to thirteen thousand taels.
I felt comfortable and comfortable when I bought it, but I felt inexplicably distressed after buying it. In addition to the previous expenses of buying a boat, hiring people, and purchasing food, clothing, quilts, and tools, the total amount of 20,000 silver was completely reduced!
But there are still a lot of things on the shopping list that I haven’t bought yet.
After entering the mountains, you need to deal with a large number of low-level monsters, flying swords, flying knives and other low-level magic weapons, so you have to prepare a lot of them for replacement. The sailors and servants have to be equipped with some self-defense swords, guns, bows and arrows, right? Nourishing Heart Pill, You have to have some elixirs such as Wushen Pills and Detoxification Pills, right? Ordinary people need medicinal materials to heal their wounds, right?
Now that the money is gone, what should we do?
When they touched their pillows when they were really dozing off, the monks from the Beidi Hall told them that if they were short of money, they could go to the Qinzhou branch of the Four Seasons Bank in the city to borrow money.
The two were overjoyed and hurried to borrow money. As expected, the Qinzhou branch of Four Seasons Bank could provide loans to the monks, and there was also a detailed and clear credit form.
Those below Huang Guan can borrow up to 3,000 taels, Jindan 5,000 taels, Archmage 7,000 taels, Refiner 10,000 taels, Great Refiner 15,000 taels, and Lianxu 30,000 taels.
The interest rate is relatively low, with an annual interest rate of only one cent, which is a good price, but the prerequisite is that it cannot be included in the blacklist of the Bank's credit record.
At this point, they no longer cared about shouldering the burden of debt, and directly used the credit limit according to the maximum limit. After filling out the form, they borrowed a total of 20,000 silver.
Before they even got the money, the shopkeeper of the bank led them to the next door. Next door was a shop that sold magical weapons. It not only had magic weapons, but also ordinary swords, guns, bows, arrows, shields, etc. It belonged to the Four Seasons Bank.
The money they had just borrowed was spent in a blink of an eye before they even heard the sound. A bunch of things were stuffed into the two people's storage magic weapons, including magical magic pills and medicinal materials.
After communicating with Zhang Xianfeifu, they finally determined the site selection principles: the development land should be not far from the river to facilitate navigation; there should be open flat land for easy farming; there should not be too powerful spirit monsters around to reduce difficulties; it is best to
If some kind of spiritual mineral is produced, the profits can be quickly recovered.
After a long conversation with the hired sailors, they determined a rough area, which was Ha Long in the northeast of Thang Long Province, from which they entered Ha Long Bend to find a suitable landing place.
The northernmost end of Dali's sphere of influence is the line between Haiyang, Beijiang, Taiyuan, and Tuyen Quang. Further north, it is the southern end of Hengduan Mountain. With Dali's strength, it is inaccessible. Ha Long is at the southern foot of Hengduan Mountain.
It neither went too deep into it nor was it under Dali's control.
They estimate that many monks will choose to enter from here in the future, so they must rush there earlier. The earlier they go, the greater the possibility of getting a good place.
On March 12, Tong Baimei and Lou Huanqiu bought the latest issue of "Junshan Notes" and officially saw the newly released "Fiefdom Law".
At the same time, Lou Huanqiu met the first batch of Taoist monks who arrived at Qinzhou Port after them. There were eight people in total, all of whom were Kun Taoists. The leader was a young Jindan named Taoist Anmiao, who was very beautiful.
Lou Huanqiu couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.
After going forward to inquire, he came back and said to Tong Baimei: "They are from the Maoshan Jinhui Sect."
Tong Baimei thought for a while and said: "No wonder, I heard that the Jinhui Sect has lived in Maoshan for nearly a hundred years. Is this because they plan to earn a legacy for their family?"
Lou Huanqiu sighed: "They are all delicate Kun Dao people. I don't know how many of them will survive if they actually enter Hengduan Mountain."
The Jinhui sect must have arrived after receiving the news in advance, otherwise they would never have arrived in Qinzhou as soon as the law was promulgated. Even if they had flying magic weapons, they would have to think about it for a while before making such an important decision.
But then he was relieved when he thought that Jinghui, one of the two elders of Jinhui Sect, was also the elder of Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Under the guidance of An Miao, the disciples of the Jinhui Sect repeated the footsteps of Tong Baimei and the others two days ago. Of course, they were definitely not as efficient as Tong Baimei and Lou Huanqiu.
While watching the Jinhui sect busy with cold eyes, Tong Baimei and Lou Huanqiu were anxiously waiting for Zhang Xian's final news, hoping that Zhang Xian's process of obtaining the license would be completed smoothly like all the previous preparations.
Facts have proved that their prayer was successful. On March 15th, Zhang Xian excitedly sent the flying talisman: "The license is in hand!"
