At the Qingfeng sect.
“Good tea.” Yun Xuan put down his cup and praised, “this is snow fox tea from Jibei, right?”
senior brother yunxuan’s tea is noble and pure. Yang Xiang said charmingly.
“I haven’t had it since the battle of the White ghouls to the South 15 years ago. This is the best tea in the Xue state.”
even in the Xue state, this is a rare treasure. If we don’t keep it well, the taste will be lost during the long journey from the Xue state to us.
Yun Xuan smiled. I’m flattered, Junior Brother yang. he said, ” did Lu chaoxi come to see you the day before yesterday? ”
“I’ve searched,” Yang Xiang’s expression was still kind.
“You agree?”
“How is that possible?” Yang Xiang continued, ” the Husheng trading company has always been in charge of xuezhou’s trade. Since I took over that year, I’ve gradually made this matter bigger and bigger. Seeing that it has already become a stable source of income for the sect, how can I let others have it?”
“Is Lu chaoxi that easy to get rid of?”
Yang Xiang sighed and said, ” it’s not easy to get rid of them. Besides, it’s fine if it’s just the Lu family. Do you know who else came with them, senior yunxuan? ”
“Could it be Li Yanling?”
“That’s not to the extent that Xuanji is hai Changsheng,”
“As expected, the hai family can’t help it.”
Dong Hai County can’t avoid the trade route between the Feiyun state and the Xue state. The hai family is a noble family of Dong Hai County, and the two are working together. I really can’t say anything.
“Then what do you plan to do?”
“We’ll just deal with it using normal means. That’s what I told them: ‘Everyone will rely on their own abilities’. ” Yang Xiang replied, ” I came to find senior Brother Yun Xuan today for this matter. After we’re done, senior brother yunxuan, you’ll have to help us out in the sect. ”
“I should.” Yun Xuan laughed mockingly. the Lu family’s appetite is getting bigger and bigger. How can they meddle in the trade with Xue state? ”
......
Yang Xiang was an initial enlightenment cultivator from a sect. He was only at the initial stage of the initial enlightenment stage and was only at the second level. He was already quite old when he first broke through to initial enlightenment. He was considered lucky to have passed the trial. After that, it took almost thirty years before he advanced to the second level of the initial enlightenment stage.
He knew that his talent in cultivation might end here, so he took the initiative to take over the Husheng trading company’s work and concentrated on it.
After meeting Yang Xiang, Lu chaoxi was also savoring the words ‘we’ll depend on our own abilities’ that he had said.
With his business skills?
Perhaps it was.
The Husheng trading company was one of the two major trading companies under the direct jurisdiction of the sect. It had been operating the trade route in xuezhou for a very long time. Ninety percent of the trade between the three famous sects of the Feiyun state and the Xue state was undertaken by the Husheng trading company.
They already had a unique accumulation in this area, and this was not something the Lu trading company could challenge.
At that moment, the Lu trading company’s goal was not to challenge the Husheng trading company’s position. Their thinking was very simple-we’ve formed an alliance with the Gongsun family, and we’re also allies with the hai Shi of Donghai. The Husheng trading company has made a lot of profits from trade and commerce in anling Prefecture, so why can’t we make this money?
If it was only based on their own abilities in business, it was fine if they could not win. In any case, the Lu trading company was only planning to do business with people they knew. They would sell the goods from anling Prefecture to the Gongsun clan’s territory and then transport the specialties from Liao Prefecture back. They did not plan to do anything else.
But as long as one wasn’t too na?ve, one could understand that the so-called ‘everyone’s ability’ was probably not just a business tactic.
......
Ming Ling received a message from Lu chaoxi. He was told to be careful.
He naturally did not dare to be careless.
It was the Lu trading company’s first time going north, so he decided to go personally.
In addition, after the discussion, Lu Weiwen and Lu tingchou would both follow.
With three foundation building cultivators traveling together, their safety should be guaranteed, right? No matter how shameless Husheng Merchant House was, they couldn’t have sent an initial enlightenment cultivator to find trouble, right?
In order to further ensure their safety, they had even communicated with the hai clan of Donghai. The hai family had promised that they would escort them to the East Sea.
The main hai family also had initial enlightenment cultivators.
I can’t say that it’s foolproof, but I believe that the safety of this first trip North should be guaranteed.
However, Lu Qing felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
He also thought that Husheng trading company would not dispatch an initial enlightenment cultivator. The Husheng Merchant House only had their Chairman, Yang Xiang, who was in the initial enlightenment stage. Lu chaoxi had already confirmed that he would be keeping an eye on this person from the sect.
However, Yingluo
“It would be great if there was another layer of insurance.”
As he thought about this, Lu Qing’s gaze naturally turned to the many exchange options in his list.
He only had a total of slightly more than 2200 karma. Fortunately, the level-three spiritual heritage had been upgraded, so he did not need to spend any more karma. He could use the remaining karma.
He still had more than 60 options in his exchange list. Among them, there were less than 10 combat-oriented ones, and their average levels were not high.
These exchange options were all saved up from the previous wave of spendthrift and many consecutive draws. However, he had basically exchanged for all the useful and useful items. There were still some left, and he felt that there was no need to use them immediately, so he kept them.
He first cast [ancestral Spirit’s protection] on the four cultivators of his family who were going on a trip, and 240 karma was used up.
The ancestral Spirit’s protection was always useful, especially in some dangerous times. Lu Wenen had relied on this exchange option to escape from the tragic battlefield. This incident had left a deep impression on Lu Qing.
He still had the “power of initial enlightenment” in his hand. This item could only be used by people in the late stage of the foundation building realm. Therefore, Lu Qing had specially sent a message to Chaohe, asking him to come along when the time came.
Other than the exchange options that he already had, Lu Qing was prepared to draw ten more in a row.
Now that the clan had been upgraded to 4-star, the probability of a 4-star exchange option being refreshed was much higher than before. It was time for him to draw a round of prizes. What if he got an awesome one?
“Ten consecutive draws! Open it!”
As he mumbled to himself, Lu Qing’s consciousness pressed the refresh button ten times.
...
“I have a four-star exchange option!”
Lu Qing was overjoyed!
In this round of ten draws, there were three three-star and one four-star!
Out of the three three-star options, one was to break through the three-star bottleneck. It was not rare, but it would be useful for chaoxi or mingchao to help them advance quickly. A three-star exchange option was called [consonance ]. The other one was for battle, the ‘true fire Dragon Spell’. It could release a fire spell that was equivalent to a full-powered attack at the late initial enlightenment stage.
This battle exchange option was obviously useful for the family’s caravan’s journey north.
The four-star exchange option was called [time acceleration ].
