The second is refining, which is similar to alchemy, which is to try to cultivate the refining ability of the disciples under the sect.

The third is management, the business here is not the operation of the major families in the secular industry, but the operation of some materials closely related to alchemy refining tools, such as spiritual materials, spirit animals, ores and the like.

You can keep spirit beasts in captivity, you can plant spirit materials, you can buy mines and mines, or several together, and so on, anyway, all the attention of the entire family is focused on this aspect, except for strength.

Most of the families who will choose to develop like this do not have much ambition and hope to be in a safe corner. And the families that choose this way of development also account for more than eighty percent of all families.

There is no other reason, as long as they are all low-level spirit materials, spirit beasts or ores, and there is a family protection force, for other family owners, these spirit materials and spirit beasts are equivalent to chicken ribs, and if they are robbed, the losses may exceed the benefits. Far less than those alchemy and refining families who were coveted by other families and faced crises.

And the family that chooses to develop like this has spirit beast spirit materials and ores in their hands, and the lack of spirit pill spirit weapons can completely exchange these things in the same way as the alchemy refining family. The only shortcoming is that the family lacks a driving force for gradual and slow growth, and if the family wants to develop and grow, it can only hope that there will often be talented children in the clan.

The last direction of development is to merge the two methods, or to combine the three methods. For example, the family not only cultivates the alchemy ability of its children, but also spends effort to cultivate a large number of spiritual materials. Doing so will mean that your energy will be scattered, and the chance of being coveted by other families will also be greatly increased.

Of course, in this way of development, the strength of the family is also improved much faster than that of other families.

Generally speaking, most of the people who will choose this direction of development are some big families, or the children of geniuses in the family have the ability to ensure the safety of the entire family.

It can be said that the development direction of the family is actually the same as that of the sect, but the sect has the choice of spirit array, and with various innate advantages such as occupying the origin of spirit stones and being able to select outstanding disciples, the starting point is hundreds or thousands of times larger than that of the family.

According to Lin Dong's thoughts, since Bai Qi is the first talisman of the Bai family, the route taken by the Bai family should be based on refining. After all, the Gu Huan Sect is a refining sect, and even if Bai Qi can't become an elder of the Gu Huan Sect, at least the refining level can reach the third or fourth order, which can completely guide the Bai family's disciples to improve the refining level.

Bai Jingtai tried every possible way to let Bai Qi join the Guhuan Sect, and having a disciple of the sect as a family talisman was one of them, and there should be a certain reason why the family had a development direction. At this moment, he hesitated, and Lin Dong couldn't help asking: "Is there any other suitable development direction for Brother Bai?" ”

Bai Jingtai smiled helplessly: "Originally, I planned to develop towards refining, and you know the reason." Not long ago, an elder of a sect who had suffered heavy losses due to a grudge with other sects and had been exterminated approached me and wanted to provide me with a batch of spirit stones. After learning that I intended to establish a family, he also promised that as long as I was willing to provide a batch of spirit stones worth one million taels of silver, he was willing to give me all the alchemy formulas in the sect at and below the second order, and promised not to pass them on in the future. ”

Taking a breath, Bai Jingtai continued: "With my financial resources, I can afford to pay a million taels of silver. There are a large number of ownerless second-order alchemy recipes, which can save the family two or three generations of time, to say the least. The only trouble is that if Bai Qi's girl can become an elder in the future, and the Bai family has produced several disciples who are qualified to enter the sect within two or three generations, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. ”

Lin Dong nodded, if Bai Qi became an elder of the Gu Huan Sect, there were several disciples of the Bai family who were qualified to enter the sect, and it was completely possible to send one or two disciples to join the Gu Huan Sect. With Bai Qi in the Gu Huan Sect, even if his strength is worse than that of his senior brothers, the chances of becoming an elder of the Gu Huan Sect in the future are very high.

In this way, if the Bai family chooses the refining weapon, it is equivalent to several generations without worrying about no one to guide them, and its value may not be lower than the second-order alchemy formula.

After thinking about it, Lin Dong suggested: "If Brother Bai believes me, I think it is better to choose refining tools for development." ”

"Why does Brother Lin think that the Bai family's refining is better developed?" Bai Jingtai couldn't help but ask.

Lin Dong smiled indifferently: "Because I think that the Guhuan Sect has a very promising future, maybe it will step into the ranks of the middle sect in two or three years, and become a big sect in ten or eight years." ”

Bai Jingtai smiled dumbly, in secular business, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who can have such a fast development speed, let alone a sect.

However, Lin Dong's proposal made him make up his mind.

It's not a way to get tangled and entangled, and if you make a decision early, you can build up the family one day earlier.

After thinking about it, Bai Jingtai arched his hand and said with a smile: "Then Brother Torin Jiyan, I wish the Gu Huan Sect to be steaming, and our Bai family can also benefit a lot." ”

Lin Dong said with a smile: "The Bai family has benefited a lot from following the Gu Huan Sect, Brother Bai, don't forget to let me also follow the Bai family to eat meat and drink soup." ”

"That's right......" Bai Jingtai said with a smile: "I have already transported the spirit stones that Brother Lin entrusted me to transport, why do you want so many spirit stones?" ”

"Very useful." Lin Dong smiled and asked, "How many spirit stones are there in total?" ”

Bai Jingtai has been in business for decades, and he still has this eyesight, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "Xiao Liang only said that he wanted 100,000 taels of silver spirit stones, I was afraid that you didn't want high-level ones, so all the spirit stones he brought were first-order spirit stones." A total of 200,000 pieces, all of which were stored in the guards' storage rings. ”

"Two hundred thousand?" Lin Dong was surprised: "A first-order spirit stone, you got it from the big sect, plus the shipping fee, wouldn't it even be five dollars of silver?" ”

"Almost!" Bai Jingtai nodded.

This white brother is really joking!

Lin Dong smiled faintly, took out the silver ticket that Gu Huan Sect had raised by smashing the pot and selling iron, pushed it to the table, and said meaningfully: "This is one million and three hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, except for the 100,000 taels of this batch of spirit stones, the rest, please ask Brother Bai to take the time to help me transport the spirit stones, it doesn't matter what the level of the spirit stones is." ”

"One million and three thousand taels of silver?" Bai Jingtai's eyes widened, and he looked at the silver tickets stacked high in front of him in disbelief.

It's not that he hasn't seen a silver ticket worth more than one million taels, but the Lin brother in front of him was just a small innkeeper a year ago, how could he take out a million taels of silver after only a long time?

Not to mention opening an inn, Bai Jingtai thinks that he is also one of the giants of the Han Kingdom, but he can't earn so much silver when he travels around the Han Kingdom in a year.

Lin Dong smiled: "Don't hide it from Brother Bai, I actually bought it for a friend, this deal is completed, and he has a bigger deal waiting for Brother Bai." ”

Bai Jingtai's expression struggled a little, at this price, one million three hundred thousand taels of silver spirit stones is two million six hundred thousand first-order spirit stones. Not to mention the freight, the cost alone will cost more than 1.8 million taels of silver.

This breath is equivalent to the entire Bai family having to work for Brother Lin, a friend, for most of the year.

What's more, or is there something to come, and the transaction volume is larger?

"Brother Bai, let's be honest...... Lin Dong said leisurely: "How much does it cost?" Favors to favors, Bai Qi's business, please invite me to drink more when you have time, and when I encounter trouble and need two silver turnovers, it is enough to borrow 1.8 million taels and don't frown. Business is business, if you lose money, and I don't know about it, your favor will be repaid in vain. ”

Bai Jingtai smiled bitterly: "Brother Lin was originally scaring me. ”

Lin Dong shook his head again and again: "My friend, he really needs a large number of spirit stones, but there are more than one million taels of silver spirit stones, which can last for a while for the time being." ”

Bai Jingtai nodded slowly, thought about it carefully, and had to tell the truth: "I collected the spirit stones from the outer gate stewards of the major sects, and added the benefits and dots for them, the cost of a first-order spirit stone is almost seven coins of silver. ”

Lin Dong nodded, this cost is reasonable, he asked Xiao Tianchi, if the Gu Huan Sect had a surplus of spirit stones in the past, it was generally handled by the outer gate steward, and the price sold by the outer gate steward was eight coins of silver.

Although the big sect occupies the mountain with abundant spiritual energy, and the surplus spirit stones are hundreds of times more than the small sects, there are many disciples in the sect, and the strength is not comparable to the small sects.

After thinking about it, Lin Dong asked, "Is the cost of transportation big?" ”

Bai Jingtai shook his head and said: "Spirit stones are not bulk goods, how much is the freight." A few large storage rings and a few loyal and well-armed guards are almost enough. ”

"Brother Bai gave it to the major antique shops and families, it should be nine coins of silver, right? If you give it to me, if you have a surplus of eight dollars of silver, if the amount is not enough, you need to occupy the spirit stones given to the antique shops and families, how about I also give nine dollars of silver? Lin Dong opened his mouth and said: "Brother Bai should be treated as a small profit and quick turnover." ”

Bai Jingtai waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about the spirit stones, our Bai family has been operating spirit stones for hundreds of years, don't dare to say anything else, most of the sects in Minyue County, most of the outer gate stewards have a relationship with me, how many spirit stones there are." As for the price, seven dollars and five are enough, no matter what, I can't earn so much silver from Brother Lin. ”

Lin Dong shook his head: "Favors belong to favors, too low a price, sooner or later you will get tired of it." Moreover, I also bought it for my friends, and I can't win and lose here. Eight cents, I don't want a penny less. ”

Bai Jingtai cried and laughed: "In business, those who buy are desperately trying to lower the price, and those who sell are desperately raising the price in every possible way, let's do the opposite, isn't it okay?" ”

"Then it's decided, eight coins!"

Lin Dong officially made a decision, he also wanted to be cheaper, but the profit was too low, and the quantity was huge, Bai Jingtai had no opinion, but the Bai family did not necessarily have no opinion, and he couldn't pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

Being able to buy a spirit stone for eight coins of silver, and at least for a few years, don't have to worry about the lack of supply, this is the biggest benefit.

The business was negotiated, and the direction of the conversation between the two moved to the family and the Lin Ji Inn again, and it was said that it was close to the middle, and on the other side, the spirit stone was also delivered.
