Jiufeng Ridge, in the Zhou Mingde Cave Mansion.

I saw that in the cave at this time, the three most important people of the Zhou family were all sad and at a loss.

Around the matter of whether to help Lin Hongyu get married, the three of them have already had a round of discussion.

During the discussion, the three did not directly express their attitudes, but each listed what they had to pay for helping and not helping, and what they could gain.

It can be said that in this round of discussion, the three of them have said all aspects of good and bad things.

Now the next step should be to express your own views and attitudes around these good and bad things.

This step stumped the three of them.

Because everyone knows how much impact the decisions they make now will have on the family.

In the face of such major events, they can only think more cautiously, and cannot make decisions lightly.

"The juniors think that if they don't help at all, it will be too hurtful, and the price paid by the family's efforts to win over Lin's seniors is completely in vain!"

"But there should be a limit to help, Senior Lin is not from our Zhou family after all, and it is impossible for the family to help her in a way that shakes the clan's roots!"

"Therefore, the younger generation is more inclined to give her limited help, so that if she can succeed in marrying Dan, everyone will naturally be happy, if she fails, it can only be said that it is the will of God, no wonder!"

In the end, it was Zhou Chun, as a junior, who first spoke out to express his views and attitude.

After listening to his speech, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but glance at each other, and then heard Zhou Mingde ask in a low voice: "Then how should this limit be defined?" ”

When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately said after a little silence: "In the opinion of the younger generation, this limit should be the maximum help that the family can give without shaking the clan capital, that is, the liquidity that the family can take out under normal conditions!" ”

"But as you said, it's hard for the family to come up with enough funds to help you open up the Purple Mansion!"

Zhou Mingde said in a heavy tone, seemingly a little reluctant.

But Zhou Chun shook his head with a smile and said: "This matter is not a big problem, after all, the junior is still young, and he can still afford to wait for more than ten years, and if Senior Lin can really succeed in marrying Dan, then the help to the family is not comparable to ten Purple Mansion monks!" ”

Hearing his answer, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but sigh: "You are open-minded, and it is really difficult for you!" ”

Then he looked at Zhou Daoyi, who had not made a sound, and asked, "Daoyi, what about you, what is your opinion?" ”

"It's not good for the juniors to express any opinion on this matter, no matter what decision the family makes, the juniors agree!"

Zhou Daoyi said in a low tone, but he chose to avoid suspicion.

Lin Hongyu is now his Taoist companion after all, although the union of the two is largely due to interests.

But after all, a Taoist is a Taoist monk, and at this time, he is neither able to oppose nor show support, so he can only remain silent.

Zhou Mingde also understood this, so he quickly nodded and said: "Okay, since Daoyi you don't want to express your opinion on this matter, then I won't force you, the old man will make a decision on this matter!" ”

Saying that, he asked Zhou Chun to invite Lin Hongyu over.

Although Lin Hongyu said that she was resting, how could she actually calm down and rest.

As soon as Zhou Chun came over to inform her, she immediately followed her to Zhou Mingde's cave mansion.

Then he looked at Zhou Mingde expectantly and asked, "How is it?" Zhou Daoyou, have you already discussed it? ”

When Zhou Mingde heard this, he nodded lightly and said: "It is true that there are some common views, but before the announcement, the old man still wants to ask Lin Daoyou to answer a few questions from the old man!" ”

"No problem, if Zhou Daoyou has anything you want to ask, you can ask questions, and the concubine must know everything!"

Lin Hongyu immediately agreed, without the slightest hesitation.

"First question, Zhou would like to ask Lin Daoyou, how many spirit coins do you expect to need to buy the spirit object that assists in the knotting?"

"Second question, Zhou wants to know how many spirit coins you can take out now, Lin Daoyou!"

"The third question, if the Zhou family tries their best to support Lin Daoyou's marriage, how can they ensure that Lin Daoyou is willing to stay in the Zhou family after the success of the marriage!"

Zhou Mingde stretched out three fingers, looked at Lin Hongyu with a solemn face, and said his three questions in a deep voice sentence by sentence.

And after listening to his three questions, Lin Hongyu, who had always been very clean and refreshing, finally frowned, and she didn't have the straightforwardness she had before.

I saw her frowning and thinking about it, and after a long while, she raised her head and looked at Zhou Mingde and said, "How many spirit coins will be used to buy the spirit objects that assist the elixir, and the concubine body can't say for sure, but it will definitely not be less than six or seven hundred thousand spirit coins!" ”

"As for how much the concubine can take out, I can't hide it, now the concubine is selling everything else, and at most she can make up more than 100,000 spirit coins!"

Speaking of this, she paused slightly and glanced at Zhou Daoyi next to her.

Then he said in a low voice: "As for Zhou Daoyou's third question, in addition to swearing, the concubine really doesn't know what to do, so that Zhou Daoyou can believe in the concubine's character and reputation!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but nod and said: "Zhou understands, then Lin Daoyou will listen to Zhou's opinion first!" ”

"Zhou Daoyou, please speak, the concubine listens."

Lin Hongyu turned sideways slightly, her face a little nervous.

She couldn't help but be nervous, after all, what Zhou Mingde was about to say would be related to whether she could go further on her path.

After seeing Zhou Mingde glance at her, he said slowly: "Zhou doesn't hide it from Daoyou Lin, although the Zhou family has some savings over the years, it is far from the seven or eight hundred thousand spirit coins that Daoyou said!" ”

"And don't say it's the Zhou family, it's those Jindan families, I'm afraid that few of them can get such a huge amount of liquidity!"

"So if Lin Daoyou expects the Zhou family to come up with such a large amount of liquidity to support you, it is simply impossible!"

Having said this, he didn't wait for Lin Hongyu, whose complexion changed slightly, to plead, and quickly said: "However, Lin Daoyou has been mining the [Tuyuan Jingyu] vein in Yangguo for many years, and now he has hoarded a lot of ore, if he is willing to hand it over to my Zhou family to sell at a discount, he should be able to make up two or three hundred thousand spirit coins!" ”

"And the liquidity that my Zhou family can mobilize now is about 200,000 spirit coins."

"In this way, if Lin Daoyou, if you can find another way to scrape together two or three hundred thousand spirit coins, it will almost be enough for you to purchase the auxiliary pill spirit object this time!"

After saying that, Zhou Mingde looked at Lin Hongyu who looked thoughtful, and said softly: "What does Lin Daoyou think of the old man's answer?" ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Hongyu immediately raised her head and said in a low voice: "200,000 spirit coins are still a little missing, can Zhou Daoyou add another 100,000 spirit coins?" ”

After speaking, he added: "The concubine body does not take this money in vain, and is willing to exchange it for several secret techniques she has practiced!" ”

However, after Zhou Mingde heard her words, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "200,000 spirit coins are already all the savings that the Zhou family can come up with, and the old man has already agreed with Zhengchun that he will use this savings to help him open up the Purple Mansion." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that he was pure and had a general understanding of the general situation, and was willing to postpone the time of opening up the Purple Mansion by himself, and use this savings to help Lin Daoyou get married, even if the old man and the Zhou family wanted to help you this time, they would be powerless!"

Hearing this, Lin Hongyu couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun.

She looked at Zhou Chun, who was already cultivating in the late stage of foundation building, and immediately understood that Zhou Mingde's words were not lying.

Then he bowed slightly to Zhou Chun and said: "Zhou Daoyou understands the righteousness, and the concubine is here to thank you in advance." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Don't you dare to be like this with the seniors, it is an honor for the younger generations to be able to contribute to the seniors." ”

"Okay, then do it as Zhou Daoyou said, the rest of the spirit coins, the concubine body will find another way!"

Lin Hongyu turned her head to look at Zhou Mingde and nodded lightly in agreement with his arrangement.

After the two sides reached a good agreement, they immediately began to act separately.

Among them, Zhou Daoyi, who had just recovered most of his injuries, personally followed Lin Hongyu to Yangguo to transport the [Tuyuan Jingyu] ore.

On the other hand, Zhou Chun began to mobilize the power of the Zhou family, contacting various forces and shops in the Fang City, looking for the next family who was willing to buy [Tuyuan Jingyu] ore.

Half a year is not a long time, and if you want to sell the ore worth hundreds of thousands of spirit coins during this period, it is also a big test for the Zhou family today.

Zhou Chun ran all over the southern states of Yasukuni, and ran all the forces and markets that were friendly with the Zhou family, and only then sold more than 100,000 spirit coins of ore.

There is no way, although the [Tuyuan Crystal Jade] is extremely versatile, but using it normally to refine weapons and arrange arrays will not use so many ores that the Zhou family has saved.

But just when Zhou Chun had a headache and was worried about how to sell all these [Tuyuan Jingyu] ores, a big customer suddenly took the initiative to find the Zhou family.

"Shanyangzi's predecessors are here, the Zhou family is really brilliant, and the younger generations are rude and inconsiderate, and I ask the seniors to forgive their sins."

On the peak of the pagoda, Zhou Mingde, who hurriedly came out of the cave after learning the news, bowed to the middle-aged Taoist in front of him with a face full of awe.

It turned out that this big customer who took the initiative to come to the door turned out to be Shan Yoko, a Jindan monk of Qinglian Temple.

Speaking of this Shanyangzi, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun are not strangers, because the representative of Qinglian Temple on the "Hundred Ethnic Conference" was this person.

At this time, in the face of Zhou Mingde's politeness, Shanyangzi just waved his hand lightly and said: "Zhou Daoyou is polite, Poor Dao didn't say hello in advance this time, Daoyou doesn't know the situation and how to talk about hospitality, so don't stick to these vulgar etiquette." ”

After speaking, he stared at Zhou Mingde and asked: "The purpose of Poor Dao coming to the Zhou family this time is also very simple, that is, Poor Dao has learned the news, your Zhou family is selling [Tuyuan Jingyu] ore in large quantities, I don't know how much inventory there is in your family now?" ”

It turns out that Shanyangzi is practicing the earth practice method, and his natal magic weapon is also an earth attribute magic weapon, and in order to enhance the power of the natal magic weapon over the years, he has been asking people to help him collect related spiritual objects.

After the spiritual power contained in the [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] has been condensed, it can just be used to enhance the power of the earth attribute magic weapon, and after the news of the Zhou family's large-scale sale of this ore was known by Shanyangzi, he quickly rushed to the Zhou family and came to the door to buy it in person.

Hearing him ask about this at this time, Zhou Mingde immediately responded respectfully: "Senior Mingjian, the Zhou family is indeed selling [Tuyuan Jingyu] ore to the outside world, but this matter is the responsibility of the Zhou family patriarch, and the younger generation does not know the specific situation, so let him answer you!" ”

Speaking of this, he said to Zhou Chun, who was waiting on the side: "Zhengchun, you have also heard the question of Shanyangzi's seniors, and quickly report the specific situation to the seniors truthfully." ”

"Yes, the juniors obey."

Zhou Chun responded, and immediately saluted to Shanyangzi and said: "Senior, now the [Tuyuan Jingyu] ore left by the Zhou family is probably more than 60,000 catties, and the market price is about more than 130,000 spirit coins!" ”

Hearing his words, Shanyangzi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but shout: "Very good, then these [Tuyuan Jingyu] ore poor roads are all available, and the ores you mine in the future can also be hoarded and sent to the cave mansion of poor roads in batches, and poor roads will all be purchased at market prices!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun's eyes also lit up.

I saw Zhou Mingde hurriedly said out loud: "How can you let the seniors be so expensive, in the future, all the ore supplied by the Zhou family to the seniors will be calculated according to the market price of eighty percent, and the remaining two achievements should be the Zhou family's filial piety to the seniors!" ”

But after hearing his words, Shanyozi waved his hand lightly and said: "There is no need for this, although Poor Dao is not a huge rich person, but it is not bad for this spirit coin, just settle it according to the market price!" ”

The tone is very resolute, not polite.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so he could only nod and say: "The juniors understand, then everything should be done according to what the seniors said." ”

After negotiating in this way, Shanyangzi did not stay in the Zhou family for long, and after taking away the [Tuyuan Jingyu] ore from the Zhou family's inventory, leaving more than 135,000 spirit coins, he left directly.

And looking at his departing figure, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the joy and regret in each other's eyes.

I only heard Zhou Mingde sigh lightly with a regretful face: "It's a pity, if you can rely on this [Tuyuan Jingyu] ore to get on the line with Shanyangzi's predecessors, not to mention selling it at a discount of eight, it is seven or six discounts, and it is completely worth it!" ”

"yes, it's a pity that this is such a great opportunity!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but nod, and his face was full of regret.

Although relying on the existence of the ancestor of the Su family, the Zhou family is now covered by someone.

However, if he can get in touch with an elder like Qinglianguan like Shanyangzi, it is obviously more important for the Zhou family.

However, Shanyozi is obviously a person who cherishes feathers, and he doesn't want to be dragged into the water by the Zhou family because of this benefit.

"Forget it, I'm lucky, I'm sorry to lose my life, it's come to this, don't think too much."

Zhou Mingde waved his hand and quickly looked at the matter.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and said: "Now that the spirit coin has arrived, let's discuss the matter of going to the Great Zhou Kingdom to participate in the auction, such a large amount of spirit coin is handed over to Lin Daoyou alone, the old man is a little worried!" ”

What does he mean by being uneasy, Zhou Chun naturally knows it in his heart.

After hearing this, he immediately responded: "You are right, this matter should be discussed carefully." ”
