Qin Wu Reaches Qi Condensation, Prosper Together!
The Golden Light shone brightly, creating Endless brilliance!
Above the sky--
The rosy clouds gathered, sprinkling down a light drizzle, nourishing and replenishing the earth and mountains...
The earth's veins were cleared, the mountains were majestic, and the golden energy gathered, causing thousands of weapons to emit a metallic clang, like a vast army!
Golden Sharpness Peak roared as it climbed higher and higher, like a giant sword piercing the clouds!
From then on-
Qi Condensation is complete!!
At the mountain's summit—amidst a sea of clouds.
Four figures, each with a different expression, Wind Dao, each possessing exceptional qualities...
Hehe~
"These must be Brother Qin's third son. So young, truly outstanding! Their cultivation speed is probably not much slower than that of the scions of those powerful factions!"
"I remember his wife; she was a direct relative of Brother Huang..."
"Brother Huang, you truly make this humble Daoist envious! You've gained another wonderful son-in-law!"
Zhang Xuan stroked his beard and chuckled, a hint of envy in his eyes...
Back then, the three companies in terms of strength and status were: Huang, Zhang, and Qin. But now, it has become: Huang, Qin, and Zhang.
The Zhang Household, on the contrary, ended up at the bottom.
Although over the years, they have plundered countless riches, possess abundant resources, and have a strong and powerful army...
But within the clan, there is no one to lead it!
Although the Zhang Clan family had been established for a long time, they only became Qi Condensation Immortal Clan a few years earlier than the Qin Clan, so their foundation might not be much deeper than that of the Qin Clan.
Moreover, the Huang and Qin families--
Those who possess the four arts and their heritage are the foundation of their clan!
As for the Zhang Clan, all they could offer were Spirit Plant, talisman raw materials, low-grade spiritual ores, and spiritual cuisine.
It's either raw materials or low-end bulk commodities...
Absolutely no competitiveness whatsoever!
If it weren't for the fact that I've made a fortune one after another in recent years...
In addition, Qin had been kind to them, and Huang had been affectionate towards them. The three families had a foundation of cooperation and trust. If it were any other clan, they would probably have been divided up by these two families long ago!
Normally speaking--
At best, Zhang Clan's net income for a year would be around a hundred Spirit Stone; at worst, it might be only seventy or eighty...
After further dividing it among the Lineage members, Zhang Xuan would only receive about 30 to 50 Spirit Stone a year.
Don't be fooled by the Huang and Qin families' extravagant spending; their foundation lies in the Four Arts, allowing them to earn money far faster than other crafts...
Take the Qin Clan as an example--
With his reputation for medicinal pills, along with his expertise in beast taming, Spirit Wine, and numerous other special spiritual items, he could easily earn two to three hundred Spirit Stone a year!
This is the difference between races, especially in the inheritance of advanced skills...
The area currently in Longchuan.
Only the Huang and Qin families possess Second-Tier skills, and they are diverse in variety. The Zhang Clan, on the other hand, only has first-tier skills and produces only First-Tier spiritual items...
Naturally, it wouldn't fetch a high price, but the Second-Tier are a different story!
Its value has increased several times over!
but--
From the perspective of the entire cultivation world, the Xuan River Zhang Clan can be considered wealthy, as they still possess several First-Tier inheritances within the clan...
Some Qi Condensation forces, at best, can only inherit one First-Tier Spirit Plant.
They're like farmers among cultivators, earning maybe ten or so Spirit Stone a year, or even less...
On the other side--
Upon hearing this, Huang Liang and Qin Lu merely smiled and did not respond to Zhang Xuan's words...
On the contrary, Gongsun Zhe nodded in agreement and said:
"I think this child is quite good!"
"This lad possesses remarkable talent in the art of metal crafting; he's a natural-born weapon-refining prodigy! If it weren't for his insufficiently powerful soul, I would have considered taking him as my disciple!"
"To pass on this mantle to this old man."
"Even if he can't forge weapons, with his talent in the Metal Dao path, if he were to switch to Sword Dao in the future, he would still become a sword immortal with unparalleled killing power!"
"Zhenzhen, what a fine successor!"
Upon hearing this—
Everyone nodded in agreement, and on this point, there was indeed no doubt!
As things stand at the moment.
Among the younger generation in Longchuan Prefecture, only the Huang Clan has produced a thirty-year-old Qi Condensation cultivator at the Qi Condensation Second Layer...
He is the most skilled cultivator among the younger generation in Longchuan Prefecture!
He could rival Qin Wu!
I've heard that his talent and aptitude have reached the level of two inches and nine points of spiritual light!
He is the most talented person in Longchuan Prefecture in the last fifty years, and the last prodigy with unparalleled talent was Huang Liang...
His talent was only three inches and three inches, and he did not rely on any resources to break through to the next realm.
He forcefully Breaking Condensing Qi using only his own strength!
Alright everyone!
"Let my son, Qin, focus on consolidating his cultivation level. I have important matters to discuss with you all today..."
Please!
Having said that--
The others nodded in agreement, and then the four of them flew towards one of the Twenty-Four Peaks: Welcoming Guests Peak, a peak that Qin Xiao had recently opened up...
A place specifically for receiving foreign guests.
Everyone descended into the celestial pavilion atop the mountain, where they sat down to await what would happen next...
Seeing this, Qin Lu didn't waste any more words.
With a flick of his sleeve, the three jade bottles fell into the hands of the three men...
"This is Qi Condensation Pill, please keep it safe."
Upon hearing this, everyone examined the situation briefly before revealing their delight!
"These two doses of medicine will yield a total of five pills."
"Each of you currently has one, one of which has been taken by my son. I intend to sell the remaining one at auction!"
"The date is set for one year from now. I would appreciate it if you could help me spread the word..."
Upon hearing this—
Both Huang and Zhang nodded in agreement, agreeing that when their clan's merchant caravans traveled to other prefectures, they would simply spread the word a little...
It's simply going with the flow, doing someone a favor; there's nothing wrong with that.
Gongsun Zhe frowned, clearly as Qin Lu's actions undoubtedly harmed the interests of the Hundred Arts Office and the Longchuan Bazaar!
If the Qi Condensation Pill is used as a gimmick...
At that time, countless people will surely flock to the Qinchuan region, rendering the Longchuan Bazaar useless!
If its efficiency declines, the spiritual tax paid next year will certainly also decrease...
When the time comes, the imperial court will naturally hold them accountable.
Gongsun Zhe has only been a director for a few years, and this has already happened; it will definitely affect the court's evaluation of him...
It will also implicate future generations, making it difficult for them to move forward in the future.
But right now--
Gongsun Zhe, however, couldn't say much. This was clearly an inevitable trend; Qin Lu's actions, though damaging to the court's interests...
However, this matter can greatly promote the prosperity of Longchuan and indirectly strengthen the Da Zhou!
With the three families united, the local power surpassed that of the imperial court.
Under such pressure, Gongsun Zhe couldn't say anything, just like Wu Yanmian back then, who used the power of the entire Prefecture to suppress him...
What can you do about it?
It's impossible to wipe out all three factions and then establish a new force...
"Sigh~"
"We'll follow Fellow Daoist Qin's advice; as long as we don't harm the Longchuan region, it's fine..."
Gongsun Zhe finally relented and nodded in agreement.
And then--
Qin Lu handed a sword to Gongsun Zhe and said:
"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, don't panic."
"Qin has no intention of opposing the imperial court; rather, he wants to bring everyone together to get rich!"
"Regarding this Auction, I intend to invite the Huang and Zhang families, as well as the Hundred Arts Office, to participate..."
"Every ten years thereafter, we can use this as a gimmick to hold a gathering!"
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone could get rich together?!"
