Chapter 601: Power, Power, and Profit

"Off, to the left. Leaning on Li Chuyi's arms, Hao Youxiao commanded softly.

When the little fat man turned back to the right direction, Hao Youxiao finally couldn't help asking, "What did you find? Who are they talking about?"

"I don't know who it is, but we can guess. Li Chuyi smiled slightly, closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows at Hao Youxiao, "Actually, you can guess it if you think about it carefully, it's not difficult to guess, isn't it?"

Hao Youxiao frowned, thought for a long time, and suddenly her heart moved, and she asked with some hesitation: "You mean...... The Shen family?"

"Hehe, it's not difficult to guess, right?" Li Chu nodded, and he knew that with Hao Youxiao's cleverness, he would definitely be able to guess with him.

In fact, this is not difficult to guess, the fact that Shen Qingyi, the son of Changle, bought a map of the layers below the Xuanbing Cold Prison at the auction of Zhigerin is known to many people, and it is impossible for Hao Youxiao not to know. Shen Qingyi spent so much money to buy that map, obviously not to take it home and hang it on the wall, it looks good, with that map in hand, it is impossible for the Shen family not to think about the things recorded on it.

The Xuanbing Cold Hell has been around for a long time, and although the interval between each opening is very long, it has accumulated again and again, and now all kinds of resources on the first floor have been exhausted, and the rest can only be seen and not moved in the desperate place where the living are not approached. Although the second layer has been developed for a shorter time than the first layer, it has almost come to life after so many years. Heavenly and earthly treasures such as Winterless Grass and Ice Pulp, which were not uncommon, are now becoming more and more rare, and even the spiritual materials such as Cold Iron and Tibetan Sun Stone, which were originally available everywhere, are becoming scarce and gradually becoming rare, as for the two most valuable treasures in the Xuanbing Cold Prison, True Meaning Xuanjing and Cold Ice Xuanyu, they are almost extinct.

The efficacy of the former of these two things is well known, but there is no one in the late stage of refining who has come here to experience it and does not want to get it. Compared with the latter, it is even more good, although it cannot help people improve their cultivation to break through the threshold, but it is one of the best main materials for refining magic weapons. The magic weapon refined with cold ice jade is not ordinary, it itself can be used as a magic weapon, and it can be refined a little, if it is carefully refined by a master of refining weapons with it as the main material, the grade of the magic weapon refined is also available for the Dao fetal period.

Over the years, there have been a total of two pieces of Ice Xuanyu in the Xuanbing Cold Prison, one of which was refined into a high-grade magic weapon of the Dao Fetal Period after being obtained by the Ice Palace, and was given to an elder of the Dao Fetal Period, and now that elder is already the power of the Four Tribulations of the Tribulation Period, but he still has a true love for the Suxin Transformation Bottle, and after spending a huge price and refining it several times, he refined the Suxin Huayi Bottle into a magic weapon of the Tribulation Period and still carries it with him.

As for the other piece, it was obtained by the Mangshan Sword Sect, one of the eight masters of the Mangshan Sword Sect, Qingquan Sword Xie Zhiyuan, one of the two long swords he was accustomed to using was made of cold ice jade as the main material, and the sword was called Lengquan. Xie Zhiyuan is a serious power in the ascension period, and the cold ice jade can become one of the main materials of the cold spring, and its value can be seen.

Therefore, compared with the two, the True Meaning Xuanjing is only more attractive to the monks in the late stage of God Refining, but the Cold Ice Xuanyu has a great temptation for all the monks, as long as the monks who come here do not want to get it. For the late stage of God Refining, the value of the True Meaning Xuanjing was immeasurable, but for others, although the value of the Cold Ice Xuanyu was immeasurable, the amount was unimaginable to them. Not only can you get an unimaginable huge amount of wealth, if you have the heart, it is also a safe thing to directly take refuge in a big backer, and I dare not say that I will become a core disciple as soon as I enter the sect, but there is no problem with this treasure receiving high attention and becoming the object of key training.

Li Chuyi has had this luck after walking a few lifetimes of shit, not only did he see the true meaning Xuanjing with his own eyes when he came for the first time, but he even reached a terrifying number of more than a dozen pieces at one time, although they were all lost for various reasons, but this opportunity alone was enough to shock countless eyeballs and envy how many others died. But he was not satisfied, his biggest target this time was the Tianquan Sword, in addition to the valuable heavenly treasures here, and the Cold Ice Xuanyu was one of his key targets.

It's a pity that it's useless to just pay attention, let alone him, even the "regulars" who have been to the Xuanbing Cold Prison haven't had the opportunity to meet each other for so many years, and the Cold Ice Xuanyu seems to have completely disappeared in the first two layers. If it weren't for the existence of the Suxin Transformation Bottle and the Cold Spring, everyone would almost think that the Ice Xuanyu was just a legend, something that didn't exist at all.

The Shen family spent a lot of money to buy a map of the deep layers of the Cold Hell this time, and it was obvious that they had also put their minds into this aspect. The third layer of the Xuanbing Cold Prison has been covered with a thick veil, although the original death squad only opened the tip of the iceberg of the third layer and was killed and injured, but their fate still could not stop everyone from exploring the treasure hunt.

The resources of the first and second layers have been almost exhausted, and they dare not touch the rest of the resources, so if they want to continue to grab the resource wealth, everyone's eyes can only turn to the untapped places below

Women's land.

Leaving aside whether there are True Meaning Xuanjing and Cold Ice Xuanyu under the third layer, as long as a few cold iron veins can be found, it is enough for the Shen family to recover the cost. If you can find a few more pieces of wintergrass-free colony or the source of the ice pith, then the profit will double and skyrocket.

Don't think this is an exaggeration, not to mention nothing else, just talk about the non-winter grass, up to now the auction price of a plant less than 50 years old has reached hundreds of thousands of sky-high prices, if it is replaced by these never-picked grasses under the third layer I don't know how many years of growth, who can estimate the value? Who dares to estimate?

I'm afraid that a few plants will pay off!

In addition, the Shen family values four words the most - take the lead!

In any era, the fastest way to grab wealth is monopoly.

Monopoly produces huge profits, and monopoly can affect power and even directly control power, so from many perspectives, power, power, and profit are not separated, even in the world of monks who pursue personal strength. Because the profit generated by monopoly does not only refer to wealth such as gold and silver spirit stones, it represents all the resources that people need, and the power cultivated by these resources is used to consolidate the existence of power, and the reverse thrust after the power position is firmly established and further expand the monopoly, which is the growth process of any force.

The fight between monks and monks, the struggle between sects and sects, and even the open and secret battles between various super forces led by the Dayan Dynasty, what they fought for was not anything else, but resources.

The Dayan Dynasty has a vast territory, and it is the number one force in the human world, and at the beginning, they were actually just one of the many clans and sects in the human world. After careful management at the beginning, the Dayan Dynasty took advantage of various opportunities to overcome the enemy and encroach on a large area of territory little by little, and then developed little by little until today's majestic landscape. To put it bluntly, this is actually a monopoly, monopolizing everything in the territory of Dayan, the Dayan Dynasty firmly monopolizes its territory with force that is difficult for anyone to reach, and at the same time continuously replenishes its own strength through various resources in the territory, power and power, power and profit, power and profit, the combination of the three has been exerted to the extreme by the Dayan Dynasty, so they have become the biggest winners in the Dark Ages.

At the end of the day, resources are everything!

The Shen family didn't want to emulate Dayan and become the next immortal dynasty, they didn't have that heart or ability, at least not yet. But they are also human beings, and they are also businessmen who pursue wealth like the Hao family, and the importance of monopoly is self-evident to them.

In fact, the Hao family had already had this thought long before the Shen family, but unfortunately the strength of the Hao family alone was not enough, holding the treasure map for so many years, they sent people every time the cold prison opened, but no one could go back alive. Before the opening of this cold prison, the Hao family and the Shen family had actually reached an agreement in private, and the two families worked together to send people to investigate. As a result, no one expected that the four sects suddenly changed the rules, from the previous one order to one person to the current one token can bring four more followers, whether the Hao family sold the map Hao Youxiao didn't know, but from the bright side, the two families were very happy about it.

The more people there are, the more powerful the more people there are, and the more people there are, the more sure it is to explore below the third floor.

To put it mildly, even if you die, at least a few will be left to bring back as much news as possible, and leave it for the two to continue exploring the next time the cold hell opens.

As the eldest lady of the Hao family, Hao Youxiao has long known about the private cooperation between the two families. It's just that what she doesn't understand is that the two families have obviously joined forces, why do they have to do more auctions, and the Shen family really paid the price of thousands of spirit stones to buy the map, you must know that the Shen family has actually paid once before this, although the number is not as much as the auction, but it is not less, but the Shen family paid again as if they didn't know it, are they wronged?

Holding the spirit stone mine in his hand is so capricious?

What's even more speechless is that this auction also provoked a Da Yan prince Yuwen Xuanli, and the Shen family even agreed to Yuwen Xuanli's proposal to agree to cooperate between the two parties, but the Hao family didn't even say anything about it, and even removed all the people from the exploration team, as if they were avoiding Yuwen Xuanli and deliberately giving him a place, which made Hao Youxiao puzzled.

Originally, the three teams of the Hao family, she and Hao Hongwei, together with Hao Anxi, arranged to form a deep group with the two teams of the Shen family, but she didn't know how the Shen family arranged it for such a fuss, and the three teams of the Hao family were all herding sheep and letting them move freely. It wasn't until Hao Hongwei's words were overheard in the Hao family's tent in Baijiaji that Hao Youxiao knew that their team had changed their task, that is, to protect Li Chuyi's safety, and at the same time find a way to match her marriage with Li Chuyi without a trace.
