Lingzhou, Donglingfang City.

When it was, Zhou Chun took out the treasure of the spirit musk deer.

Master Jiang's face on the opposite side changed instantly.

"It's really the fragrance of the spirit musk!"

He exclaimed in his mouth, and even took the jade bottle handed over by Zhou Chun to inspect it.

I saw that he just poured out a little incense powder and tasted it gently, and then nodded again and again and shouted: "It is indeed a genuine spiritual fragrance, the original taste!" ”

Then he hurriedly covered the jade bottle to prevent the aroma from being lost.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately smiled and said, "How?" If you add these two spiritual incense, it should be enough to exchange for the Vein Protector Pill in Master Jiang's hand! ”

Hearing his words, Master Jiang's eyes suddenly flashed with a different color, and he nodded again and again: "Enough is enough, with these one or two incense spirit musk musk incense and these elixirs, it is enough to exchange the Pulse Guarding Pill." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Chun with blazing eyes and said, "But since Zhou Daoyou can take out one or two spiritual incense, there must be more spiritual incense in his hand, right?" I don't know if I can exchange it for Jiang more? Jiang is willing to exchange other precious elixirs for it! ”

When Zhou Chun heard this, his eyes also moved, and he couldn't help but say, "Oh, does Master Jiang have a pulse nourishing pill?" ”

When Master Jiang heard what he said, he knew that he must still have spiritual incense in his hand.

Immediately said: "Jiang Mou currently doesn't have the Pulse Raising Pill in his hand, but if Zhou Daoyou is willing to exchange it for spiritual incense, Jiang Mou can find other alchemists for Daoyou to exchange this thing!" ”

"Then wait for Master Jiang to exchange this thing, and then exchange it with Zhou!"

Zhou Chun nodded, and agreed.

"Okay, then it's decided!"

"This is the Pulse Protection Pill that Zhou Daoyou wants, please check it out."

Master Jiang said, and also took out a Dan bottle from the storage bag and handed it to Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun took the pill bottle, opened the cork and took a look, only to see that there was only a blue-brown pill the size of a dragon's eye inside.

The incense and appearance of the incense it exudes are exactly the same as the records left by the predecessors of the Zhou family, and it is undoubtedly genuine.

So he quickly corked the bottle as well, nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed the Pulse Protector Pill." ”

After both parties were sure that the things were okay, they exchanged and put away what they needed.

Then Master Jiang said: "Jiang wants to exchange for the Yangmai Pill, it may take a month or two, I don't know how Jiang will find the two Taoist friends at that time?" ”

When Zhou Chun heard this, after a little silence, he replied in a deep voice: "Master Jiang only needs to send a message to the Wang family of the Red Medicine Valley at that time, and the Wang family will naturally notify Zhou." ”

In this way, since he has a request from the Wang family, I think that this Master Jiang will not be angry with the Wang family because the news of the Pulse Guarding Pill was leaked by the Wang family.

Master Jiang naturally saw this, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Jiang understands what Zhou Daoyou meant." ”

After speaking, he smiled slightly and said: "It's rare to be happy today, the two Taoist friends, please wait, Jiang will go and make a pot of self-made wine for the two Taoist friends." ”

As he spoke, he was about to get up and make tea.

But at this time, Zhou Daoquan, who had been silently beside Zhou Chun, suddenly said: "We understand Master Jiang's kindness, but we don't need to drink the wine, we still have important things to do, so we will leave first." ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun was also moved, and hurriedly followed: "Yes, yes, yes, the wine is free, Master Jiang, you don't have to be so polite, we have been out for a while, and the family is worried, so it is better to go back as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, since the two Taoist friends are in a hurry to go back, Jiang will not keep two more, I will send two."

Master Jiang said, then got up and sent Zhou Chun and the others out of the pharmacy.

After leaving the pharmacy in this way, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan went directly to the outside of Fang City, and soon rode Zhu Yanhe together and left Fang City.

And this time, the two of them did not rest for a moment on the road, and directly let Zhu Yanhe consume mana along the way and fly fast, and then relay the flight on his own after his strength was exhausted, and it only took less than a day to return to Jiufeng Ridge.

"Is there another second-order flying demon beast to walk?"

In Tanglinfang City, Master Jiang looked at the communication talisman in his hand, and his eyes showed a contemplative look.

Then he shook his head slightly, and immediately left the pharmacy, looking for friends and exchanging Yangmai Pills.

On the other side, after returning to the family safely all the way, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan were also relieved.

Then Zhou Chun thanked Zhou Daoquan, who had accompanied him on a trip, and the two went back to the mountain to do their own things.

Now that the Pulse Protector Pill is in hand, there is also a lot of hope that the Pulse Enhancement Pill can be obtained, and Zhou Chun is also in a very good mood.

In this way, if everything goes well, it won't take ten or eight years at all, and within three or five years, he will be able to cultivate the "Golden Ding Xuangong".

Of course, since he promised the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde and the patriarch Zhou Daoyi, he would still try his best to wait for the patriarch Zhou Daoyi to break through to the late stage of foundation building before starting to transfer to the cultivation method.

At this time, after many preparations in the early stage, some preparatory work for the reform of the Zhou family has been completed.

So he invited the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and the four elders of the Zhou family to the Zhongping Hall to start his performance.

I saw that in the Zhongping Hall, Zhou Daoyi and the elders were all seated, and behind the eucalyptus tables on both sides of the hall, the four mortal scribes were also in place.

At this time, after checking several account books on the table in front of him, a scribe said respectfully to Zhou Chun, who was sitting on the ground: "Deputy Patriarch Qiqi, the villain has checked the relevant data again and again, and confirmed that there are no mistakes. ”

"Let's get started."

Zhou Chun bowed his head slightly and gave instructions.

"Yes, villain obeys."

The scribe answered, then took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart, glanced at the high-ranking Zhou family members who were seated at the table, and then said respectfully: "The patriarch is above, the elders are above, according to the instructions of the deputy patriarch, the villain will now report to you the relevant information of the Zhou family that has been statistically verified." ”

"At present, there are a total of 157 immortal cultivators in my Zhou family, including 126 monks from the Zhou family, 31 monks from relatives, 96 male monks, and 61 female monks."

"In addition to the Supreme Elder, the Patriarch, the Deputy Patriarch, and the Elders, including the Outer Relatives and Monks, the Zhou family has a total of eleven core clansmen, thirty-two elite clansmen, and one hundred and seven ordinary clansmen."

"Among these clansmen, there are a total of thirty-eight monks in the late stage of Qi refining, a total of eighty-six monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, a total of eight monks in the early stage of Qi refining, and eighteen clansmen who have not yet entered the Dao cultivation because of their young age."

Speaking of this, the transcriber paused for a moment and stopped reporting under Zhou Chun's gaze.

"Fourth Elder, you seem to have something to say."

Zhou Chun looked at the fourth elder Zhou Jiarui, and said with a smile.

"I'm just a little emotional!"

Zhou Jiarui sighed lightly, and said with emotion: "I remember that when our Zhou family first laid its foundation in Jiufengling, there were more than 140 people, but I didn't expect that more than ten years later, the number of people has only increased by more than a dozen, and many of them are married with foreign surnames!" ”

Hearing his words, several other Zhou family elders couldn't help but show sentimentality.

Patriarch Zhou Daoyi also said at this time: "In fact, the number of monks in our Zhou family has increased by nearly forty in the past ten years, but the problem is that there are more than 20 monks in our Zhou family who have disappeared and died due to various circumstances over the years and married out. ”

When the second elder Zhou Chongshan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "That's still too little, I remember that when I was still in Fengguo before, there were more than six or seven people in the clan with spiritual root qualifications that the family found from the mortal clansmen every year, and sometimes there were even more than ten people if they were lucky!" ”

"What's the solution!"

"Now the number of ordinary people on the Yasukuni side is not even one-tenth of that on the Fengguo side, just these tens of thousands of people, even if they give birth every year, at most they can produce three or four children with spiritual root qualifications."

"If you want to wait for these children to grow up and practice and enter the Dao, it will take at least ten years to do it!"

When Zhou Daoyi said this, his face was also full of wry smiles.

The importance of the number of monks to a family, none of them were unclear.

Of course, a family needs a high-end force like the Purple Mansion Cultivator, but the number of Qi Refining Stage Cultivators at the bottom cannot be missing.

Once the number of Qi Refining Stage cultivators decreases, it will not only affect the number of Foundation Building Stage cultivators, but also have a significant impact on the daily operation of the family.

After all, many family chores were undertaken by Qi refining period cultivators.

And just when these high-level Zhou family members sighed because the number of family members could not go up, Zhou Chun gave them a ruthless blow.

I saw Zhou Chun open his mouth and say: "Now there is actually an important problem, the number of family members is the largest, among them, the number of monks who are over eighty years old is already close to twenty, and there are several Taoist couples who are also close to this age. ”

"In the next twenty or thirty years, even if we don't count the number of monks who have left home or died for other reasons, the death of these people will also have a great impact on the number of family members!"

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the faces of several elders sank again, and their faces became a little more sad.

The third elder Zhou Daoquan's eyes flashed with a different color, and he immediately looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Zhengchun, since you talked about these things today, do you have any solutions?" ”

Hearing this, several other people also looked at Zhou Chun, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

Facing the ardent expectations of the elders, Zhou Chun smiled and said, "The juniors do have some ideas, but let's wait until later, the elders should listen to something else first!" ”

Hearing his words, several high-level officials of the Zhou family suddenly had an extra layer of expectation.

Zhou Daoyi immediately smiled and said, "Then let's see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd, and go on." ”

"yes, go on, let's all listen!"

Zhou Daoquan also smiled, calmed down and prepared to continue listening.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately said to the scribe who had stopped, "Go on." ”

"Yes."

The scribe replied, and continued: "The Zhou family's income from spirit coins in the past year is about thirty-two thousand eight hundred, of which more than 17,000 come from the spirit beast Zhai of the Fang City store, more than 7,000 from the rent of the family's cultivation area, more than 2,000 from the Chiyao iron ore vein, and more than 5,000 from trade with other forces. ”

"And the Zhou family's expenditure on spirit coins in the past year is about more than 25,000 spirit coins, of which most of them are used to purchase various materials, except for the scattered part that helps the family to guard the Pure Spirit Pavilion."

"In addition, according to statistics, the Zhou family has distributed more than 17,000 family good deeds in the past year, of which more than 7,300 good deeds are distributed by normal welfare offerings, more than 5,000 good deeds are distributed as task rewards, and more than 4,000 good deeds are distributed for the purchase of spiritual objects in the hands of the clan."

"And the Zhou family has written off a total of more than 9,000 points of good deeds in the past year, mainly because of the consumption of the clansmen to exchange the treasures reserved in the clan."

"At the same time, the total number of family good deeds accumulated by the clansmen of the Zhou family is more than 58,000 points!"

When the transcriber said this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Chun.

"Alright, let's get here first."

Zhou Chun raised his hand and pressed the pause.

Then he looked at the patriarch and the elders, and said in a deep voice: "Population and money, these are the two most important things for a force, and the elders will not have an opinion on this. ”

"Let's not mention the matter of the population first, let's just say that the current matter of money is a serious problem!"

"At first glance, the family's annual income from spirit coins is higher than its expenditure, but in fact, it is because the family has converted the spirit coins that should have been issued into good deeds."

"The real remaining spirit coins are simply not enough to offset the amount of good deeds left after the annual write-off!"

"And the amount of good deeds accumulated in the hands of the clansmen is increasing year by year!"

"If they wait until they have accumulated a sufficient amount of good deeds in their hands, but find that the good deeds are difficult to exchange for the cultivation things they need, and the family will not be able to take out enough spirit coins to exchange at that time, then a great crisis of trust will erupt within the family!"

After he said this, the faces of several Zhou family elders really changed.

Pushing themselves and others, they asked themselves if they encountered that kind of situation, they had worked hard to accumulate good deeds for ten or twenty years, but they could not exchange them for spirit coins, nor could they exchange them for what they wanted.

Then I don't know how much resentment there will be towards the family!

"How many spirit coins do you have in the family's account?"

Second Elder Zhou Chongshan's eyes flashed, but he saw the point at a glance.

"More than thirteen,000 spirit coins!"

Zhou Chun answered his question in a deep voice.

"This bit of spirit coin, it can barely be supplied and exchanged for a while, but it can't be exchanged for a large amount of money by the clan!"

Patriarch Zhou Daoyi also interjected at this time, and pointed out sharply: "And once the opening for direct exchange of good deeds for spirit coins is opened, I am afraid that many clansmen will choose to exchange good deeds for spirit coins!" ”

Good deeds are only equivalent to the spirit coins issued within the Zhou family, and they can only be used in the Zhou family.

However, the spirit coin is common to the entire immortal cultivation world.

Which one to choose after letting go of the exchange, fools know!

Zhou Chun also said in a deep voice at this time: "It is precisely because of this that compared to the matter of population, it is really urgent to solve the problem of family finances!" ”

"Do you have any ideas?"

Patriarch Zhou Daoyi spoke again and asked this question for the others.
