If I were to install spiritual crystals, I'm afraid I could hold half a million." Elder Phantom Gate Lu also said.&1t;/p>
"Yes, the space of this hollow stone is five directions. If it is made into a storage ring, it will be worth more than one million spiritual crystals. This is a treasure that can be encountered but cannot be obtained. However, there are some hidden dangers in the security of Zhibao Pavilion, so just take it
Come out in exchange for peace. As long as it is a sect that we recognize, you can tell us how many years it has provided us with protection." Old Man Hu said.&1t;/p>
"Isn't this Zhibao Pavilion doing something illegal? How does a regular business need such protection?" Someone actually had questions.&1t;/p>
Old Man Hu heard these words and said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, Zhibao Pavilion will always be a model of being honest and law-abiding. If the sect that proposed protection this time finds that we have violated laws and disciplines, the protection can be automatically lifted."&1t;
/p>
"If Zhibao Pavilion gives this hollow stone to our Golden Sword Sect, we are willing to provide it with two years of protection." Huang Can, the Golden Sword Sect's first words.&1t;/p>
"We, Chiba Gate, are willing to protect it for three years."&1t;/p>
"My Phantom Gate can protect you for four years." It seems that the Phantom Gate is connected to the Chiba Gate.&1t;/p>
"The Divine Heart Sect is willing to protect Zhibao Pavilion for eight years." Huang Yanshu made the final decision when he opened his mouth.&1t;/p>
Chen Xuan was secretly happy behind him and thought in his heart: "The Shenxin Sect should always protect the store opened by the disciples of the Shenxin Sect. Eight years is too little."&1t;/p>
Everyone was silent. Since the Shenxin Sect, the strongest sect in Stone Tail City, has promised to protect the Treasure Pavilion for eight years, others know that there is no point in fighting anymore. If you say ten years, I'm afraid
Shenxinmen can tell twenty years immediately. Is there actually a difference between eight years and twenty years?&1t;/p>
The key is that the overall strength is not as strong as the Shenxin Sect. The disciples of the Shenxin Sect are geniuses, and the elders are geniuses who have grown up.&1t;/p>
Old Man Hu was overjoyed. With the support of Shenxin Sect, Zhibao Pavilion was temporarily out of crisis.&1t;/p>
Old Man Hu is scheming. In full view of the public, Shenxin Sect promised to protect Zhibao Pavilion for eight years. If anything happens to Zhibao Pavilion, Shenxin Sect will not be able to escape responsibility.&1t;/p>
"Is this the purpose of this treasure-buying meeting?" Chen Xuan thought. Although he was forced by Huang Can of the Golden Sword Sect in the middle, the final result was still ideal.&1t;/p>
The important event was over, and the spectators left one after another. Old Hu kept asking for guests, but the elders did not pay attention and all left one after another. Huang Yanshu also put away the hollow stones and was ready to leave. When leaving
It seemed that he had something to say, but he didn't say it in the end. Old Man Hu kept sending Huang Yanshu far away before he came back.&1t;/p>
Chen Xuan deliberately walked out among the crowd. He didn't want Huang Yanshu to see him. It was better not to let the sect know about his relationship with Zhibao Pavilion, otherwise he would have a lot to explain.
Secrets may be revealed.&1t;/p>
When Chen Xuan came back again, there were not many people at the door of Zhibao Pavilion. The remaining people were just nearby businesses and residents. Those in the distance were all rushing home. After all, it was already dark.&1t;
/p>
"Boss Hu, business is booming!" Chen Xuan shouted into the store.&1t;/p>
"Oh! Master Chen is here, please come quickly. I haven't seen you for half a year. Master Chen has grown taller." It's a common problem for children to like to grow taller. Old Man Hu is such a good person! He can always flatter you. "Well, this
The store is of good size and looks like it is doing big things." Chen Xuan didn't know whether he was praising the store or the people.&1t;/p>
"Waiter, close the shop." Old Man Hu ordered, and then pulled Chen Xuan into the inner hall. The two cultivator-level security guards looked at each other, wondering what the relationship between Master Chen and Boss Hu was.&1t;/p>
There was also someone in the inner hall who came out to welcome him. It was Yang Yunshan, followed by an eight-year-old girl.&1t;/p>
Yang Yunshan grabbed Chen Xuan and gave him an affectionate hug. The little girl stood aside and watched silently.&1t;/p>
When Chen Xuan saw the little girl, he almost didn't recognize it. If he hadn't guessed that the girl in front of him must be Hu Xian'er, he would never have believed that Xian'er would become like this. There were two dimples on the round face, and under the long eyelashes,
A pair of watery eyes, she is really a little beauty. Is this the same person as the yellow and thin little girl I saw when we first met?&1t;/p>
"Are you Xian'er?" Chen Xuan asked deliberately.&1t;/p>
"Brother Xuan, you have really grown taller." Xianer answered the question incorrectly.&1t;/p>
Huh? Why does this girl also say that I have grown taller? Have I really grown taller? Children can’t lie, it must be.&1t;/p>
"Xian'er, you are getting more and more beautiful." Chen Xuan replied.&1t;/p>
The little girl turned red and squirmed. Chen Xuan couldn't help but sweat.&1t;/p>
"Eat dinner first, and then we'll talk about anything else." Old Man Hu said.&1t;/p>
The dinner was very rich. To be honest, this Treasure Pavilion has a lot of money. Chen Xuan provides a large amount of top-quality wood spirit crystals almost every month. And the business in the store is extremely good. To describe the situation, it can be described as making a lot of money every day.
It was appropriate. So of course Old Man Hu would not treat himself badly, and his daily life was very satisfying. When Chen Xuan arrived, he ordered a few more dishes.&1t;/p>
Chen Xuan was not polite, and when he started to eat the food, Xianer was stunned. After half a year of eating in the canteen, Chen Xuan really had the urge to change his taste.&1t;/p>
Next, Chen Xuan explained the purpose of his visit. Old Man Hu said with a smile: "This is really a trivial matter. You only need to write a letter to solve it."&1t;/p>
"I know, but I still have to put on a show! Otherwise, it will be troublesome for the sect to know about our relationship."&1t;/p>
"You have a secret, it's obvious. Take the top-grade Wood Spirit Crystal you sent over, as Elder Huang of the Golden Sword Sect said, I'm afraid there won't be anything similar in the entire continent."&1t;/p>
"Yes, this is a secret. Dad, don't ask for anything. Some secrets cannot be told." Chen Xuan said seriously, "Just like the secret of the hollow stone, I believe you will not tell anyone, including
Xian'er won't even know this secret, do you think I'm right?"&1t;/p>
"Yes!" Old Man Hu did not deny it. "But I had no choice but to take out this hollow stone this time. I really don't have many things in my body that can make even a sect attracted."&1t;/p>
"Is Zhibao Pavilion really in a big crisis now?" Chen Xuan asked.&1t;/p>
"You should have heard the golden words of the Golden Sword Sect, right? This is already an obvious threat. There are also those local ruffians who have disturbed the Zhibao Pavilion. This business has been difficult to do."&1t;/p>
"Well, that's true. But isn't it too much of a loss for you to give away such a valuable thing to Shenxinmen this time? Can you really make so much money in business?"&1t;/p>
"Haha, Master Chen, you have really underestimated the profits of doing business. As long as a store seems to be prosperous, it can basically make a lot of money every day. Take our Zhibao Pavilion as an example, in the past six months, especially this time
In three months, all the principal has doubled." Old Man Hu said with a smile.&1t;/p>
Chen Xuan was greatly surprised, and at the same time he felt aggrieved for himself. He had spent so much rest time creating wealth, but he didn't expect others to do it easily.&1t;/p>
"Especially when collecting some rare treasures, the price can be doubled several times. Of course, this requires a lot of capital to do, and the risks involved are also quite large." Old Man Hu continued.
said.&1t;/p>
"No wonder you want to find a strong backer, but if the news of this hollow stone spreads, it may still be a bit risky!" Chen Xuan said with worry.&1t;/p>
"I have made the biggest lie. Even if someone goes to investigate, the origin of this hollow stone will be clear." Old Man Hu said, he had no intention of hiding Chen Xuan.&1t;/p>
"That's good, otherwise Zhibao Pavilion will be at the forefront of the storm. Even if it is protected by Shenxin Sect, it may bring disaster. After all, Shenxin Sect is only famous in the local area, and there are more than thousands of powerful sects outside."&1t;/
p>
"Don't be careful about this. On the contrary, your purified top-quality wood spirit crystals have very big loopholes," said Old Man Hu.&1t;/p>
"Oh, what's wrong? Can't you keep a secret?" Chen Xuan asked.&1t;/p>
"It's not a question of whether I can keep it a secret. The key is that your top-grade wood spirit crystal is too special. Whether it's size or effect, it's unique in the entire continent. I can't keep it secret even if I want to!
”&1t;/p>
Chen Xuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Someone from the Shenxin Sect must have studied the top-quality wood spirit crystal in the Zhibao Pavilion. The result of the research was exactly the same as what he handed over to the sect. That means that the Shenxin Sect already knew about the Zhibao Pavilion.
The top quality Wood Spirit Crystal was provided by themselves. On this basis, they must also have figured out their relationship with Zhibao Pavilion, but they just didn't say it openly.&1t;/p>
No wonder Huang Yanshu would not hesitate to offer to protect Zhibao Pavilion for eight years. It turned out that the Shenxin Sect did it deliberately. Chen Xuan's head was swollen and he felt quite uncomfortable now.&1t;/p>
You can no longer continue to make those 70%-large top-quality wood spirit crystals, otherwise fools will think of tracing their sources. Once this happens, your secrets will be exposed, or your parents will be traced based on false information, which will cause trouble.
They are all in danger.&1t;/p>
Old Man Hu saw Chen Xuan's worried look and asked, "What's wrong? You look very worried! You were fine just now."&1t;/p>
"Nothing. By the way, does Zhibao Pavilion have enough funds now?" Chen Xuan asked.&1t;/p>
"This question is difficult to answer. If we only develop on the current scale, we will have sufficient funds, but if we want to do something bigger, this money will never be enough!"&1t;/p>
"I want Zhibao Pavilion to stop supplying the top-grade Wood Spirit Crystal that I provided. Of course, this is not to seek a monopoly on high prices, but I now know that at least the Shenxin Sect already knows that I provided the top-grade Wood Spirit Crystal to you."&1t
;/p>
"Is the problem so serious? It seems that you have used the same spiritual crystal in the sect." Old Man Hu immediately knew why Chen Xuan was worried.&1t;/p>
