Fu Zaojun led Heng Hua and his party to Sanyuan City's station.
"My great-uncle may not be sure of Bai Cang's future many years ago. Now we, Yanlong, are stationed at Sanyuan City, and we can be called the best among all the trading firms. Those Jade Brand firms can't compare with us."
Heng Hua smiled calmly.
He refined it into Baiqiang Four Vats, and naturally the changes in Sanyuan City couldn't be hidden from him.
When everyone arrived at the station, they immediately felt the strong wind blowing against their faces.
The light cyan wind wall surrounds a hundred feet, and in front of you is a majestic ink stone fortress.
Sisters Zhu Family and Xiao Family, the two younger generations, looked at the fortress-like station in front of them and expressed shock.
Looking at the streets to the left and right, the originally prosperous and towering Golden Tower and Jade Palace of Sanyuan City seemed like a small dwarf in front of this fortress.
Xiao Zhenghe hummed softly. "If we can't get the jade medal, we will naturally have to find face in other ways. What is this fortress? This is the Bao Family owner who came here personally and built it according to the specifications of the Dragon Palace."
After Yalong Trading House joined Bai Cang Hundred Cities's business, he followed Merchant Alliance's rules to obtain a business certificate. However, due to the obstruction of the Merchant Alliance and the Jade Brand Firms, Yalong Trading House only received one gold medal.
Merchant Alliance euphemistically called it, "Yanlong is a foreign trading company, and those who come are guests. Bring your own to enjoy VIP gold medal treatment."
On the surface, it saves Yalong Trading House the tedious process of self-upgrading. In essence, it restricts Yalong Trading House from going further. It pegs Yalong Trading House as a "foreign trading firm" and establishes exclusive terms to avoid competing for profits with the top ten local trading firms.
Regarding this, Yanlong and Lineage had quite a few complaints.
In terms of size, Yalong Trading House monopolizes the trade of Yanlong and Flame Waters. Is it no larger than the top ten Jade Brand Firms?
Frustrated by the Baiqiang Merchant Alliance's full force, Yalong Trading House was an outsider after all, and could only endure it at first. But soon, Yalong Trading House began to use the power of the two realms of cultivation to build a large-scale construction project in Sanyuan City.
Under the operation of Fu Pengming, Yalong Trading House hired monk Bai Cang to do the work, and used the land deed he bought in advance to directly occupy the most prosperous area south of Sanyuan City.
After years of operation, Yalong Trading House has acquired its current scale through bit by bit acquisitions.
Fu Zaojun: "Now the station covers an area of thousands of hectares, and many small businesses have also attached themselves to it, forming a city within a city."
There is a giant pupil in the sky above Wind God Fortress. Hundreds of tornadoes emerge from the pupil, forming a wind wall surrounding Wind God Fortress to ensure that internal information will not be leaked out at will.
At the same time, the divine pupil also serves as the core of Bai Cang Wind Network, spreading from Sanyuan City to hundreds of cities.
Fu Zaojun came to the fortress gate, greeted the guarding monk, and led everyone into the fortress.
Walking through the aisle, Zhu Hongmei whispered to her sister Zhu Yuxue: "Look below."
There is a ditch outside the fortress, and there are red koi swimming in it. Their tails are like fire, and they are very gorgeous.
"Our Scarletflame Carp? Is this used as a moat guard?"
This kind of koi is a spiritual species raised by the Zhu Family. It doesn't taste good, but it can be used as a guard, it can also make fire, and its scales can be used as medicine.
Zhu Yuxue After careful observation, we found that fresh air was constantly flowing out of the ditch from below, purifying the water quality.
"This... is this a giant tank?"
Although Wind God Fortress is located south of Sanyuan City, it is not bordered by the land of Sanyuan City. It is a deep pit filled with water. Wind God Fortress is floating in the groove, like an independent city.
"We, Yanlong, are here and actually come up with something like this?"
Zhu Yuxue was shocked.
The strength demonstrated by Yanlong in Bai Cang was beyond her imagination.
This is thousands of hectares of land!
Just use it as a residence?
Heng Hua walked into "Wind God Fortress" and felt that the wind wall was like a gauze curtain, gently blowing over his body.
"It's interesting."
Turning around and looking back, Xiao Family brothers walked through. The indifferent dust on their bodies was swept away by Pure Wind, forming a hazy figure outside the wind wall.
"Dust-Cleansing Technique, is it from our family?"
Fu Zaojun nodded. "It's the spell arranged by Uncle Xuan. It is said that this spell was made by the Langhuan Hall."
Fu Zaojun is a junior, his so-called great uncle refers to Fu Yifu. And Fu Henghua is his great uncle.
After a few people came in, they were greeted by noisy voices.
"We are selling steamed buns, big steamed buns freshly baked."
In front of a seven-story tall building, a machine puppet was shouting and shouting, and bursts of aroma wafted from inside.
If you look closely, you will see that the tiles on the tall building are not ordinary flat or arched shapes, but are actually buns.
It was a roof made of xiaolongbao, and each steamed bun was constantly emitting aroma.
Zhu Family sisters were dumbfounded.
Zhu Family There are several shops in Southern Region of Yanlong. Have you ever seen such a shop?
Not far away, there is a towering ginseng ten feet high. The red ginseng fruits on the ginseng are the houses.
"Hanging the pot to help the world, free clinic." Two pairs of ginseng boys shouted loudly at the door.
This is a medical store.
Look further into the distance.
On the same street as Baozi Pu and Ginseng Hall, there are also various strange-shaped shops. An eight-story pavilion with candied haws on a string, a house with greenery like dandelions...
Fu Zaojun explained with a smile, "These are all gimmicks, used to attract customers."
Zhu Hongmei said with emotion, "Seeing these buildings really makes people want to visit."
Fu Zaojun continues to lead the way.
Although there are various buildings, the layout in Wind God Fortress is not messy. Each shop is located in a square land of exactly the same size, allowing the shop owner to build it himself.
These square grids form streets, arranged in an octagonal spiral, forming a crisscross, vertically layered three-dimensional pattern.
Fu Zaojun led everyone across the street to the center of the octagon. This is not only the core location of Yalong Trading House, but also the eye of the storm.
Huhuhu--
The strong wind echoed in the central square and poured into the sky to form the "eye of the wind".
Heng Hua took a few steps forward, and the air current carried him directly into the sky.
Not even Wind-Riding Art Divine Ability is used, Fu Henghua uses the airflow to sway and reach the same height as the eye of the storm.
Eight thousand hectares of Cloud City have an unobstructed view. To the east of Sanyuan City, as if to challenge Wind God Fortress, purple thunder and lightning crisscross in the sky, and there is a thunder pupil in the dense clouds.
"Wind-Thunder Eye. If a monk comes here to practice martial arts and collect wind, thunder and lightning with his eyes, he will definitely gain something."
"Ah--"
A cooing cry came from below, and Heng Hua looked down.
Zhu Yuxue imitated himself and tried to fly into the air with the help of the wind ring. But how could Zhu Family have such exquisite control over the wind channel?
Zhu Yuxue was swept into the air by the strong wind and began to stagger around.
Heng Hua saw this and stretched out his hand to point his finger.
"Invite!"
Earthly Fiend Divine Ability activated, Zhu Yuxue was wrapped in white air and pulled directly to the opposite side of Heng Hua.
Boom--
With a move of Heng Hua's hand, Wind-Riding Art's technique was blessed on Zhu Yuxue, carrying her floating in the sky.
"I wish the girl is also interested in the scenery of the clouds and sky?"
"No, I just watched you stand up, and I was curious for a moment... so..." The girl lowered her head shyly.
Heng Hua looked at the scene in front of him.
The sun shines on the clouds, and thunder and lightning echo with the splendor. The orange light clouds are accompanied by blue and purple brilliance, bringing a different kind of beauty.
Heng Hua took out a magical mirror and took a photo of the scene in front of him.
Soon, an image appeared in the mirror.
Heng Hua looked at it casually, a little dissatisfied, and simply handed it to Zhu Yuxue: "It's for you."
Then, he took a few more photos from better angles so that he could send them back to the Immortal Algae Palace.
Everyone below looked at the two of them in the sky, Zhu Lixing secretly laughed.
At this time, three directors hurried over.
Xiao Zhenghe immediately led everyone to greet him.
With the help of the Mysterious Subtle Sect, the Yanlong family obtained three seats from the thirty-six director seats of the Merchant Alliance.
After discussion between Yanlong and Lineage, Fu Family sent someone to occupy a seat, which was Fu Zigui. Yalong Trading House of Yalong Trading House. The president of, Du Huaiyuan, sent his disciples to occupy one seat. There is also another seat for the Zhu Family and Northern Domain, who take turns taking charge every ten years. Currently, it is Zhu Family's turn.
Claimed by Golden Core Cultivator Zhu Zhengxiong.
It was also Zhu Zhengxiong who took on the role personally, which prevented other directors from overly forcing Yanlong.
You must know that the nine elders of Bai Cang and the three Golden Core Realm city lords of Sanyuan City may not be better than Zhu Zhengxiong in terms of cultivation.
Heng Hua came to see Fu Zigui, Zhu Zhengxiong and Zhang Kang, and brought Zhu Yuxue down from the sky.
"Great uncle."
Fu Zigui looked happy after seeing Fu Henghua.
"With you in charge, Merchant Alliance's difficulties will not be a problem at all."
"Tell me more specifically, what is Merchant Alliance doing?"
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the station first. It's a rare occasion for you to come over. Let us hold a banquet for you."
Zhu Zhengxiong also smiled at Xiao Zhenghe, "You and I haven't seen each other for decades, so I'll take this opportunity to have a drink."
So, everyone chatted and laughed and walked towards Moonview Tower where they were stationed.
When Zhu Hongmei saw her sister coming down, she pulled her and whispered at the other end.
When Zhu Yuxue saw the photo, he carefully covered it with ice crystals and kept it carefully.
Fu Zigui The three of them held a banquet at Moonview Tower, and hundreds of spiritual dishes were laid out.
Heng Hua looked at the plates of roasted whole lamb and roasted beef legs on the table and immediately frowned.
He finally understood why when he first went to Aurora City, Xiaoyu only went to the food city for a while, and then he knew that the place was related to his Food Immortal orthodoxy.
Fu Zigui pointed at the spiritual meals at the banquet and said with a smile, "Bai Cang True Water is far inferior to us Yanlong in terms of cultivation. But these spiritual meals are quite valuable. Meaning. Over the years, it has developed from Aurora City to Spirit Cuisine, which has gradually spread and formed several cuisines. Grand uncle, please try it... I specially selected the core spiritual meals of several cuisines."
Lingshan cuisine is like a dispute over the orthodoxy of a cultivating sect.
At first, Fu Henghua passed down the Food Immortal lineage, which was based on the improvement of the Fu Family cuisine, with a strong Fu Family style. With the development, Bai Cang is compatible with civilizations in all areas, and gradually has other cuisines.
"Earthfire Hall" specializes in barbecue.
Take "Jade Cuisine Studio" which is good at making soup.
Among them, "Pure Moon Workshop" specializes in vegetarian food, Qingyuan Tower specializes in cooking beef and sheep, and Seven-Flavors House specializes in making snacks...
Even during the development of genres, a cuisine faction that advocates sweet cuisine and another faction that focuses on salty cuisine began to fight.
In just over ten years, Bai Cang has appeared in a wide variety of spiritual meals, almost replacing the status of Alchemist.
Zhu Zhengxiong also said to Heng Hua, "Those kebabs are heavily seasoned, which may not suit your family's light habits. But you can try it, and the side effects are good. Eating a roasted leg of lamb can give you a blessing on your body. Separation Flame Curse, lasts for three hours. There are also ruby fragrant fruit bunches, which can replenish qi, nourish blood, and restore physical strength. Now Bai Cang monks will not bring elixirs with them when they go to the immortal mansion to explore, but will eat a spiritual meal before going out and eat another meal after returning to restore consumption."
The effects of spiritual food are similar to those of elixirs.
However, compared to tasteless elixirs, the spiritual meal is more elegant and can be used at dinner banquets, which is undoubtedly liked by monk Bai Cang.
For major commercial houses, the disadvantage that Lingshan cannot be stored for a long time is actually an advantage in doing business.
As the Food Immortal spiritual meal method spread, various trading houses saw business opportunities and deliberately enhanced the effect of the spiritual meal and shortened the storage time, thus squeezing the living space of the elixir.
Xiaoyu personally went down to the hall to bring the dinner plate, and placed a cup of soup and a plate of skewers in front of Heng Hua.
"Master, would you like to take a sip of the soup first? This is from Yong City. It should suit your taste."
Yong City, formerly Aurora City.
Heng Hua looked at Tang and smiled bitterly.
Fu Zigui smiled and said, "Maybe it's because my great-uncle lived there. The spiritual cuisine developed by Yong City is somewhat similar to our family. Sometimes, when I get tired of eating spiritual meals from other cuisines, I will invite the spiritual chef from Yong City to come to my house to cook a feast to clear my mouth."
Fu Family advocates the integration of humanistic etiquette and music into delicious food.
Food cooking reflects many styles of the Fu Family.
Such as "Medicine and food come from the same source", "Calm Qi and maintain health", "Zhongzheng Peace", "Unity of Heaven and Man" and so on. In addition, Fu Family has been passed down for thousands of years, and the rituals and music are sound. Naturally, the elegant etiquette of cooking tea and drinking wine is also integrated into the spiritual meal.
How to make snacks that have the effect of sobering up and calming the nerves, how to match tea and wine with food, how to reconcile the conflict of flavors...
There are also special spiritual meal recipes, etc., all of which reflect the civilization, etiquette and music of the Fu Family.
The Food Immortal lineage passed down from the original Fu Henghua is a lineage with a strong imprint of the Fu Family.
Not only Xiaoyu, Fu Zigui also speculated that the food culture there is related to Fu Henghua.
Hey--
I can't hide it, forget it, there's nothing to hide. After all, Food Immortal has developed best together with Bai Cang, and it turned out to be the most beneficial to me among the six people.
Since entering Wind God Fortress, Heng Hua has felt wisps of Dao Virtue's energy floating towards him.
The weight is far beyond Fu Henghua's imagination.
At first, I went to the sky to watch, intending to figure out the source of the Dao Virtue energy.
But now that the banquet has begun, Heng Hua suddenly realizes.
Spiritual meal!
Among the six Bai Cang, Fu Henghua values it the least and does not even acknowledge the inheritance positively. The Dao Virtue's spirit given to him is actually more than the other five people combined!
I have high hopes for Ma Dongren! I have high hopes for Chi Junwang's medical inheritance! I have Tao Hongfei occupying the profession of "spiritual farmer" with broad development space!
The development and evolution of Lingshan exceeds everyone's expectations.
After Bai Cang is integrated, the monks can explore the Immortal Mansion for as little as one day or as long as several days. With their habit of leaving early and returning late, they almost regard exploring the Immortal Mansion as work. The elixirs in their hands will basically not be stored for more than one month.
At the same cost, the effect of Lingshan can be increased by 30 to 50% at the expense of shortening the storage time.
Undoubtedly, spiritual food has more functions than elixirs and has gradually won the favor of monk Bai Cang.
Although the refiners Alchemist reacted quickly and began to reduce the storage efficiency and improve the effect. But then, Bai Cang ordinary people discovered another benefit of spiritual meals.
It is a medicine that contains three parts of poison. As you take elixirs for many years, a certain amount of erysipelas will accumulate in your body, and you need to spend time clearing it. Moreover, if you take too much of the same elixir, your body will develop drug resistance.
However, there is no such thing as drug resistance in Lingshan.
Lingshan is a food, inheriting Fu Henghua's concept of "eating for health and longevity". It is easy to digest and has no resistance. At the same time, Lingshan accumulates very little toxicity in the body and is easy to clean.
This killer move completely drove the pill out of the Bai Cang Cloud City market.
This kind of replacement of the road system is just in line with the Dao-Unification Realm's moral law.
Preaching and establishing order are the first to open up a line.
As a result, Fu Henghua got a lot of Dao Virtue's aura from Bai Cang with the help of a profession that he didn't like at all. This rich Dao Virtue aura has already surpassed Fu Danwei's Immortal-Chivalry Way.
It happens that Yanlong next door is recruiting Alchemist to Jade Rabbit Island. Therefore, in recent years, many Bai Cang and Alchemist have gone to Yanlong to seek development.
This "change of family and rank" itself brings another Dao Virtue spirit to Fu Henghua.
It's a pity that Fu Henghua has not really become famous. It is difficult to collect worship from Food Immortal and condense the spirit of Sacred Virtue. It is also not possible to seek Merit through this, it is just a single Dao Virtue spirit.
"It's rare to see the separation of the three virtues."
Heng Hua happily put away the spirit of Dao Virtue and secretly practiced Divine Luo Heavenly Tome.
Three years later, Divine Luo Heavenly Tome and Golden Core Method have been deduced to the seventh version with higher accuracy.
But Heng Hua is not satisfied yet.
The Golden Core Realm he values must be unprecedented, and it must be successful the first time!
Everyone was enjoying the banquet.
Suddenly, Ling Xianjun, one of the nine elders Merchant Alliance, came to visit.
Fu Zigui went to greet him in person. Xiao Zhenghe looked at Zhu Zhengxiong and said, "What is going on here? It's better to tell us in advance."
"Merchant Alliance is not willing to provide us with the money and plans to take the profits back."
Zhu Zhengxiong said while picking up the sliced beef and stuffing it into his mouth.
The Yanlong Family people have always wanted to tie an extra dog leash to the Baiqiang Merchant Alliance. However, with the intervention of the three major water bodies, they were unable to establish the tenth elder and pay tribute legitimately.
But Yanlong was stronger than Bai Cang. As a last resort, Merchant Alliance had no choice but to use the name of "tolls" to pay Yalong Trading House a sum of money every year on behalf of Bai Cang's businesses. It was used as protection fee for doing business in Flame Waters and Yanlong.
In return, Yalong Trading House will ensure that the merchants of Bai Cang act safely in the second domain.
When everyone heard this, they immediately became unhappy.
"We only need one-third, and they are so dissatisfied?"
"We are still protecting them when they sail!"
Zhang Kang smiled bitterly and couldn't help but interject, "But this third is supplied from the three major water bodies, and additionally caused Merchant Alliance to bleed."
Merchant Alliance continues to cut the flesh, and this is because the nine elders and major business houses are throwing money into it.
This happens every year, and Merchant Alliance can no longer bear it.
Zhu Zhengxiong said, "In recent years, the Wind Network system has encountered opponents, which has allowed people like Merchant Alliance to see an opportunity. Huh--Fake Heavenlink Stone? That means several Merchant Alliance companies are working behind the scenes to attack our Wind Network and force us to give up a profit."
Heng Hua plays with a fragrant tomato, thoughtfully.
When Ling Xianjun came in, Xiao Zhenghe and others immediately put on their smiling faces and greeted them warmly.
The same goes for Ling Xianjun, who greets people with a smile and even gives Fu Henghua a gift.
Nominally, it is to thank Fu Henghua for helping Baiqiang Waters.
At the banquet, no one talked about official business, as if Ling Xianjun was just here to have a drink.
Ling Xianjun also looked cheerful, as if he didn't feel the hidden malice of everyone at all.
After the banquet, Ling Xianjun turned around and left.
Heng Hua and others also went to the residence one after another.
As soon as he arrived at the residence, Hengshou suddenly said, "This gift from the young master may be a bit troublesome."
"Maybe? Isn't it just a hot potato?"
"Then why do you want to pick it up?"
"He specially asked me to give him a gift. In front of everyone, Xiao Zhenghe and Zhu Zhengxiong are staring at it. Should I accept it? Even if I don't accept it now, they will be suspicious later. It's better to just bring it over - you see, how considerate."
Heng Hua opened the box, and inside was a box full of Ji-Earth Profound Stone.
"Merchant Alliance is well-informed about my collection of earth-based spiritual objects."
Heng Hua took out Breath Soil and started absorbing it directly.
Hengshou wanted to stop him, but he held back the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Xiaoyu closed the door and said displeasedly, "What did you say? Why didn't I understand? Is there something wrong with this gift from the young master?"
Hengshou glanced at it. "Merchant Alliance doesn't plan to submit the donation, but he can't give up everything. So he plans to contact Fu Family alone."
Why did Merchant Alliance bow to Yalong Trading House back then?
Because Fu Henghua pinned Good Fortune Trading House to Aurora City.
Liu Yang and Fu Danwei of Nanyang Trading Company are close friends.
And because Fu Henghua has repeatedly operated in Aurora City, it has gradually taken away the control of Aurora City. Merchant Alliance is worried that Fu Henghua will use the power of hundreds of cities to suppress Merchant Alliance and destroy Bai Cang's existing cultivation system.
Finally, Mysterious Subtle Sect moves around to apply pressure.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Merchant Alliance bowed his head was just because of the Fu Family.
It's because Fu Family was not strong enough back then, so he had to use Yalong Trading House's strength to deliberately pull up other cultivators Lineage.
Now Merchant Alliance elders are unwilling to continue to waste money, so they plan to combine it with the Fu Family.
Let's kick out the other cultivators Lineage, and we'll give you a separate sum of money.
"The money Merchant Alliance gave to the Yanlong Familys is only one-third of the three major water areas," Hengshou rarely said something long. "There are so many sects in the three major water areas, and this one-third is also a group of Lineages. The money given to each Lineage is not considerable."
Xiaoyu realized. "But if Merchant Alliance alone gives Fu Family a sum of money. Even if it is only half of this third, it will be more than what he originally got."
Merchant Alliance gave less, Fu Family took more.
It seems like a win-win for everyone.
"Master, I cannot agree," Xiaoyu said seriously, "If we agree to this condition, we will..."
Seeing the expressions on Heng Hua and Hengshou, she shut her mouth.
What I had just understood was probably understood by the two of them when they called Ling Xianjun to come in.
"Fu Family boy is not stupid, he won't do anything random."
Fu Henghua and the three of them returned to the room, and Xiao Zhenghe immediately came to look for Zhu Zhengxiong.
Zhu Zhengxiong said, "Fu Family boy understands the truth. For a little Attendant, offending all Yanlong cultivators Lineage and causing them to lose everything? What a joke.
"I have dealt with the Merchant Alliance a lot over the years, and I am familiar with Ling Xianjun's style. The moment he came and left immediately, it was clear that he was dividing us."
Xiao Zhenghe: "Having said that, what if Fu Family's attitude changes? After all, it's hard for us to offend Fu Family now."
"Before Eastern Sea Sword Duel, they didn't dare to do anything random."
"What happens after that?"
Zhu Zhengxiong Silence.
After all, Fu Family has grown stronger and more eye-catching over the years.
"Anyway, I'll invite Fu Family boy to drink tea tomorrow and check out his voice."
