No one doesn't like money, and no one thinks they've made enough money so they don't make it.

This is true for people, and even more so for sects.

Due to Xu Xinyao's initiative to pull the strings,

The Vientiane Sect does not need to purchase expensive "formation drawings", nor does it need to pay additional high fees to the "formation pattern master", but only needs to pay the silver for the formation materials.

However, although the county seat of Shengshan is only a county seat, the scale of the city is actually very large due to the once prosperous demon beast trade.

Xu Yuan didn't know the formation, but he had read a lot of internal newspapers from the Xiangguo Mansion.

Naturally, there is also relevant information about the early investment and later output of the formation construction.

If you want to build a phantom array covering such a large area as Shengshan County, the amount of silver needed to purchase materials is roughly estimated by Xu Yuan, and it will be in the million taels.

Of course

This is the money for the purchase of materials at the market price.

As such a behemoth, the Vientiane Sect naturally has its own supply channels for goods, but even if it is calculated in this way, the expenditure for establishing this psychedelic array should be above 600,000 taels.

600,000 taels

The Vientiane Sect is not a person, it is a collection of interests, it is impossible for it to spend so much money to accompany the fourth sister to charity.

The reason for choosing to invest must be because you can get more things.

But now the Vientiane Sect has just thrown away this way to make money and run away

"Huh, Gongzi Zhou?"

Just thinking about it,

A crisp female voice suddenly came from the crowded street, with a hint of excitement:

"Zhou-Gong-son, what are you doing standing here?"

“.”

Xu Yuan subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, and after seeing the person who came, he suddenly realized that the voice was actually calling him.

I saw two young people looking at him on the opposite side of the crowded market, and one of them, a girl with a pure and beautiful face, was jumping and waving at him.

Seeing each other, Xu Yuan reacted slightly, recognizing that these two were the pair of sect disciples he had seen in the Li family's deserted village before.

Zhou Xiaohe and Li Erzhu.

After a second of silence, Xu Yuan also showed a smile and nodded at them.

He remembered that these two people were from the Vientiane Sect, and their status should not be low, why were they still here now?

Seeing that Xu Yuan recognized him, Zhou Xiaohe immediately pulled Li Erzhu, who looked wooden beside him, and walked towards Xu Yuan.

Come near,

Li Erzhu hugged his fists very politely:

"Brother Zhou, long time no see."

Zhou Xiaohe poked his head and said with a smile:

"Gongzi Zhou, why are you here?"

Xu Yuan's eyes smiled:

"I happened to be passing by, going into the city to purchase some supplies, why are you here, Miss Zhou?"

Zhou Xiaohe pointed to Li Erzhu on the side without thinking and replied:

"These two stunned people heard that there are demon beasts here, clamoring to come to get rid of demons, all the way to get rid of demons, walking and walking to this Shengshan County, just come to sell some demon pills, I didn't expect to meet Zhou Gongzi you, hehe."

Xu Yuan glanced at Li Erzhu, who was speechless, with a slight surprise, and said with a smile:

"Brother Li is really chivalrous."

Li Erzhu shook his head, and his voice was very weak:

"I just want to do what I can."

Zhou Xiaohe waved his hand, looked at Xu Yuan, and then looked at the plaque of the Fenghai Chamber of Commerce, and asked:

"What Zhou Gongzi wants to buy is difficult to procure, and he needs a big chamber of commerce?"

Xu Yuan nodded his head, and then asked in a low voice:

"Well, Miss Zhou, I remember that this Fenghai Chamber of Commerce should be under your Vientiane Sect, why is it closed today?"

Zhou Xiaohe blinked his eyes when he heard this, and shook his head:

"I don't know, my father never let me ask about these things, maybe it's because of the demon beast tide, and my senior brother made a special trip to inform us half a decade ago that we should hurry back to the sect and don't stay in this area."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

It seems that the reason why the Vientiane Sect withdrew from this Shengshan County was mostly because of this demon beast tide.

Not too surprising.

In the past month or so, he and Ran Qingmo have basically been cautious step by step in the Wanxing Mountains.

On the one hand, it is because of Tianyan, and on the other hand, because of the demon beast group in the Wanxing Mountains.

Although most of the demon beasts are not of high grade, the ants eat elephants a lot, and they can only run when they meet them.

Once they are dragged by thousands of demon beasts, the number of demon beasts continues to accumulate, even if there are saint remnant souls and Ran Qingmo, they have to hold a grudge in the mountains.

Seeing that Xu Yuan didn't speak, Zhou Xiaohe groaned slightly, and said with a smile:

"What does Zhou Gongzi want to buy? Medicinal herbs and pills or some other things, I am quite familiar with the chamber of commerce in this Shengshan County, I can consult for you~"

Xu Yuan came back to his senses and hesitated slightly:

"Won't it be troublesome?"

Zhou Xiaohe stared at Xu Yuan's face intently, shaking his head:

"No, no, we've been fine for the past two days, and it's okay to leave a day or two late, right, nerd."

Saying,

Zhou Xiaohe poked Li Erzhu beside him with his elbow.

Li Erzhu hesitated slightly, and replied with a glance:

"Xiaohe, Sect Master, he let you."

Zhou Xiaohe immediately glared at the other party: "Oh, if you don't want to wait, you can go back first!" ”

“.” Li Erzhu closed his mouth.

Zhou Xiaohe cleared his throat and said with a smile:

"Zhou Gongzi, what do you want to buy?"

“.”

Xu Yuan looked at the two of them and hesitated slightly, but still whispered the names of more than a dozen herbs:

"Soul dove grass, spirit is still away from flowers, soul green vine"

After speaking slowly, Xu Yuan looked at the other party's expression quietly.

These are all medicinal herbs that can help the remnant soul of the saint to recover his soul power.

Because he has no body, this old man's soul power can't recover by itself, and if he uses it, he will be gone, and he can only rely on foreign objects such as pills or medicinal materials if he wants to recover.

Several people fell silent for a moment,

Zhou Xiaohe's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and soon showed a look of embarrassment, and said in a low voice:

"Zhou Gongzi, I only know a few of these medicinal materials you said."

Xu Yuan was not surprised, there are so many medicinal materials in the world, but he said:

"As long as I say it, it's fine, and the price is not an issue."

Zhou Xiaohe's face was slightly red, and he shook his head:

"Zhou Zhou Gongzi is not a matter of price, there is no place to buy this medicinal material in Shengshan County."

"No?"

Xu Yuan sighed, paused, and asked again, "What about the flying demon beast?" Grade C is fine. ”

The Alien Beasts Division is divided into two types of demon beasts in the world, two types of military and civilian, two departments of flight ground, A, B, C, D, E, and six from top to bottom.

Xu Changge's Xuan Eagle belongs to a first-class military flying demon beast, and the price is very expensive.

Judging from the amount of money held by Xu Yuan, he can only buy a Class C civilian flying demon beast at most.

But even so, Zhou Xiaohe still shook his head:

"Nope."

"Flying demon beasts of the Ding class can also be used."

"Not either."

"Eh?"

"Gongzi Zhou, there are only demon beast eggs and cubs in Shengshan County."

“.” Xu Yuan.

“.” Zhou Xiaohe.

There is nothing in the small place, Xu Yuan sighed slightly:

"Thank you Miss Zhou for reminding me, it seems that there is nothing I need in this Shengshan County for the time being."

Zhou Xiaohe was also a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice:

"Why don't you follow us back to Vientiane City as a guest? There are many chambers of commerce in Vientiane City, and many, many large chambers of commerce have branches in the city. ”

Xu Yuan did not answer immediately.

He only came here to buy things, and since he had nothing to sell, he naturally had no reason to stay now.

What's more, the actions of the Vientiane Sect clearly said that there was something wrong with this Shengshan County, and the fool would continue to stay here.

With a slight groan, Xu Yuan looked at Ran Qingmo, who had been standing quietly on the side, and said:

"Shadow, what do you say?"

"Listen to you." Ran Qingmo replied softly.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan exhaled and clenched his fists slightly at Zhou Xiaohe:

"Then we'll bother you all along the way, but we still need to buy some miscellaneous items before we leave."

Zhou Xiaohe obviously became very excited when he heard this:

"Don't bother, let's go, only this nerd is suffocated all day long, by the way, Zhou Gongzi, what about the little sister next to you before?"

The Vientiane Sect was not built in the mountains, but beside a waterfall with a huge cliff.

Because of the steaming of the waterfall, the Vientiane Sect is shrouded in water mist all the year round, and when you look down from a high altitude, the buildings are lined up one after another, like a fairyland.

The corridor leading to the "Council Hall", the important place of the sect, was winding, and two middle-aged men walked in it, accompanied by the sound of unhurried footsteps, and the sound of small conversations came softly.

The bearded man asked softly:

"Old Five, I heard that Fucheng has sent another secret envoy over?"

Lao Wu was silent for a moment, and replied:

"Well, it's said that let's let the Vientiane Sect go to reinforce Jiugu Town, the imperial court border army there is almost unable to hold on, and this year's demon beast tide is very fierce."

The bearded man thought about it and sighed:

"Demon, he's a demon!

"It's really the stupidest decision of our ancestor of the Vientiane Sect to choose the sect next to this Wanxing Mountain Range, deal with these demons every day, and if you kill one stubble, you can grow another stubble next year."

"Alas, how did the Sect Master reply?"

Lao Wu thought about it and replied in a low voice:

"The sect master asked Qi Changyu's kid to bring a group of more than 100 inner disciples."

The bearded man frowned:

"Did you really send someone? It's a hard-hit area over there every year, so don't fold this kid Changyu there. ”

The fifth hehe smiled:

"Don't worry, the sect master didn't arrange flying demon beasts for them, go over, it is estimated that it will be too late."

Hearing this, the bearded man grinned and nodded:

"The imperial court wants us to leave without giving us any benefits, how can there be such a good thing? It's still the sect master's calculations. ”

After a pause,

The bearded man restrained his smile and asked in a low voice:

"Those big fortresses on the border should be fine, right?

"If some small towns in the corners have fallen, there will be a maximum number of deaths, and those places in Nandu County can't be lost, and the demon beasts are lost, and many of our Vientiane Sect's families are in that area."

Lao Wu replied quite easily:

"Don't worry, we have been preparing since the beginning of the year, our Vientiane Sect's Thousand Illusion Army is very well stocked, Tianyin Temple and Fengqing Gate have greeted each other, and they will support each other."

Hearing this, the bearded man shook his head slightly:

"The court is really funny.

"Decades ago, they began to squeeze people from the government system such as me, and at that time, they should not have imagined that the situation would deteriorate to this point now, right?

"It's foolish."

In order to prevent the further penetration of the sect's forces into the local area, the imperial court gradually eliminated the children of the sect from the local power structure little by little decades ago.

If the children of the sect are the rulers, the sect will naturally give full help to ensure that the situation is calm.

But now, there are very few children of the sect who can achieve the official position of the ruling party, and the sect naturally does not have such a good treatment for those state pastors and taishou who are transferred from the imperial court, and they are respectful to the government decrees, and many sects directly ignore their decrees.

And this is one of the reasons why refugees are everywhere today.

Lao Wu took a deep breath:

"It is impossible for the imperial court to insist all the time, it will change back to the ancestral system, it is estimated that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the black-clothed prime minister Xu Yinhe should also be subdued."

The bearded man also smiled lightly when he heard this:

"Xiangguo Mansion is in full swing, if it is precipitated in another hundred years, it is estimated that it is another big family, and it is impossible to say whether it can start a sect."

"Hehe, I don't know where Xu Yinhe will be located, it should be mostly over there in Jiangnan Mansion, last time Tianyuan Dabi Jiangnan Mansion sent them all to be rich and virtuous."

Speaking of which,

The two looked at each other and smiled.

This is the general consensus of the sects.

Today's Shengshang and Xiangguofu may indeed have some problems in their thinking, but the problem is not big, because the reality will make them change this wrong thinking.

The world is not the world of Great Yan, but the world of Great Yan and the sect.

Without the cooperation of the sect, although the Great Yan is still prosperous, there has been chaos in just over 20 years.

When you realize your mistake and change back to the ancestral system, and pay a little more price, everyone will sit down and everything will continue as usual.

Your Li family is also the heavenly family, and your Xiangguo Xu Mansion is still the first family in the world.

The two of them didn't speak again, and walked along the winding corridor all the way to the Vientiane Sect's important land hall.

Push open the door,

Two groups of chairs were neatly arranged on both sides of the lobby, both full of people, and on the main seat sat an old man with a goatee.

The Vientiane Sect Master sat on the main seat and looked at the two who were late, and smiled slightly:

"Old five, old man, sit down, I'm talking about you."

The two smiled, walked to their seats, and sat down.

Lao Wu smiled and said:

"Sect Master, are you in such a hurry to call us over to discuss the matter of Shengshan County?"

The Vientiane Sect Master's deep eyes smiled and said:

"Naturally, this time, my Vientiane Sect has invested more than two million taels of silver in Shengshan County, which naturally needs to be paid attention to."

The bearded man touched his chin and smiled playfully:

"This is all thanks to the fourth lady of the Xiangguo Mansion, if it weren't for Xu Yinhe's arrogant old man, I would have wanted to go to Kyoto to propose marriage to his Xiangguo Mansion."

The Vientiane Sect Master smiled noncommittally:

"That girl's formation mage is from Jiang He's old man, and it is natural that her attainments are very high, if it weren't for her psychedelic array, maybe I would have to postpone this plan for several years."

"Alright, Sect Master, have all those refugees gathered?"

"Basically, it has been gathered, more than 200,000 people, about 170,000 residents in the city, plus caravan guards, scattered rangers and resident border troops, there are probably more than 20,000 cultivators."

"What about the monsters?"

"We've got enough of the Beast Trap Incense."

"Sect Master means it's time to start a battle?"

"Nature."

"It won't leave a trace, will it?"

"Don't worry, it's clean, it's made by a demon beast."

"Huh."

Everyone present laughed, because everyone present knew how much benefit this plan would bring to their Vientiane Sect.

The Vientiane Sect Master knocked on his chair, paused, and said loudly:

"Alright, everyone is here, then the last vote will be held."

Words fall,

"Boom!"

The plan was only a formality to be voted on so far, and the elders present unanimously passed the resolution to open the Great Array.

Seeing this scene, the Vientiane Sect Master slowly stood up and looked in the direction of Shengshan County:

"Spread the news,

"Rise up, build. Ghost Mist! ”

It's late
