Chapter 834
The Immortal places a piece, leaving no trace to be found.
Wei Yuan only thought for a moment before he understood it thoroughly. Back then, the Xu family teenagers played a crucial role in Qingming's foothold, and the battle with Yue Jinshan's iron cavalry completely destroyed the confidence of Western Jin to annihilate Qingming.
The Myriad Ages Thousand Autumn Sword also repeatedly helped Wei Yuan overcome difficulties, but the sword intent within it was somewhat incompatible with Wei Yuan, so Wei Yuan didn't use it much.
Moreover, the causal connection of the Myriad Ages Thousand Autumn Sword was too great; the birth of one Xu Shiba could take away the true meaning of "Four Barbarians Swept Away" from Xu Wangu's hands, and Wei Yuan highly doubted whether the few styles of true meaning he had already obtained were just being kept for someone else.
But the Xu family teenagers had always been conscientious for Qingming, with almost no demands. Xu Shiba suddenly brought Wei Ying back to pass the tribulation, which also made most of the Xu family teenagers forge their Dao Foundations, giving Wei Yuan a Dao soldier legion that was outrageously strong.
If it was said that he indeed had a place to be used, then the person behind the scenes had already paid the reward. Thinking this through, Wei Yuan's heart calmed down.
Wei Ying's Dao Foundation was also a giant sword, but there was no true meaning of the Myriad Ages Thousand Autumn Sword in the sword, but a strange sword intent, with obvious gentleness within the extreme rigidity, as if feeling like advancing ten and retreating one. Wei Yuan's eyesight was extraordinary now, and after a careful look, he understood that this was a new Dao Foundation combining the Myriad Ages Thousand Autumn Sword's sword intent with the "Great Yin Moon Splendor Myriad Forms Chapter".
Theoretically, Yin and Yang generate each other, and extreme rigidity generates extreme softness, so the realm should be one level higher. But theory was just theory; the Myriad Ages Thousand Autumn Sword was strong and domineering, which was not something simple Yin-Yang generation could compare to.
Both girls' giant swords had obvious luck entwined, and clearly, passing the tribulation under the gaze of the masses and driving the Xu family teenagers to improve their realms, they also had feedback and were in a state of being blessed by luck.
Wei Yuan returned the giant swords to Wei Ying and Xu Shiba, and asked about their future plans.
Xu Shiba was quick-tongued: "Naturally, we have to have a fight with the Shaman tribe!"
Wei Ying was obedient, saying: "Everything depends on Daddy's instructions."
Wei Yuan felt a headache, scolded Wei Ying, and then said: "This battle is unusual; the Immortals on the opposite side will directly take action, although it is only an indirect action, it is also difficult to resist. You must obey the arrangements, otherwise I don't have the ability to protect you."
Wei Ying's appearance at this moment was sweet and obedient, her big eyes naturally carrying confusion and innocence, making people want to bully her when they saw her. She nodded and said: "Understood, Daddy still has many little aunts to take care of, and can't look after his daughter. Daughter will be very good and will take care of herself."
Wei Yuan's face turned black, and he had to remind her: "You also know those little aunts, you naturally know their temperaments. You call them aunts, but are you afraid your Dao heart will break too fast?"
Xu Shiba was still quick-tongued: "Understood! They are all cultivating the Invincible Heart, even a dog passing by has to be bitten..."
Wei Yuan covered his face and sighed: "You... you'd better go wandering, there's no need for you here."
Xu Shiba stuck out her tongue and whispered: "I also wanted to cultivate the Invincible Heart."
"... You dare!" Wei Yuan stopped her immediately.
In the end, Wei Yuan arranged a courtyard in the Xiancheng for the two little girls to live in. Afterward, Wei Yuan told Xu Shiba clearly that he had indeed received some favors from her father back then, but now the causal connection was cleared, so she should take care of herself.
Xu Shiba nodded, not knowing if she understood.
Only then did Wei Yuan free up his hands to deal with subsequent matters. This round of the Dao Foundation Ceremony had unprecedented effects, and all families were very curious about the high-rise city of Qingming, and were even more shocked after learning about Qingming's products.
Qingming's development could be said to be completely contrary to the traditional concepts of the various clans. Every family tried hard to develop spiritual objects and immortal objects, the higher the rank the better, and there were even cases where an entire spiritual mountain was used only to plant one ancient immortal plant. All medicine gardens, the more abundant the spiritual power cultivated, the higher the rank of the spiritual medicine planted inside, but the quantity was fewer.
Refining weapons and refining pills were the same; for pills like the Foundation-Nurturing Pill used for Body Forging, the various families didn't care much, and it was enough for their own disciples to use, basically all apprentice practice works.
But Qingming's main products were almost all common items, forging armor, canned food, small Foundation-Nurturing Pills, machine brocade, machine-woven cloth, as well as firearms, ammunition, etc.
These common items were necessities for every family, so the elders of the three families, the Xu family, the Southern Qi Li family, and the Qinghe Cui family, were all quite interested. These elders seemed to have mediocre cultivation, but in fact, they all held great power or had missions, otherwise they wouldn't have taken on the heavy responsibility of leading the team to Qingming.
They then wanted to purchase some supplies to take back through Xu Henshui, Cui Yu, and others.
Wei Yuan naturally opened the door of convenience. Then the elders of the various families discovered that because of the huge quantity, the cost of purchasing these ordinary supplies was actually greater than that of spiritual objects and immortal objects, and much greater. At this point, some sharp people already understood why Wei Yuan wanted to engage in these common items.
Purchasing from Qingming, the most convenient way was to borrow a sum of Qingyuan, and then slowly repay it through trade and other means. Although Xu Henshui, Cui Yu, and others were important figures in Qingming, their personal power was limited and they couldn't guarantee so much Qingyuan. The elders of the various families were all reasonable people and naturally knew that their own geniuses weren't worth tens of millions. Fortunately, the Qingming Bank also provided a mortgage model, which was easy to understand, not much different from a pawnshop.
Thus, the elders of the various families all gathered several powerful spiritual objects and spiritual treasures, mortgaged them to the Qingming Bank, and then with Xu Henshui and others as guarantors, it was about enough, and in the end, they all borrowed about ten million Qingyuan.
The Southern Qi Li family was a bit slow to react, but followed up quickly; seeing that the collateral was not enough, the Li family elder actually mortgaged ten beautiful genius girls from the clan, making the bank managers dumbfounded. They didn't dare to be negligent, reported it layer by layer, and finally alarmed Wei Yuan.
After Wei Yuan personally inspected the collateral, he made a decision: each person could be mortgaged for fifty thousand taels of immortal silver. Calculated at this price, the girls' natural Dao Foundations were roughly worth ten thousand, and their faces were worth forty-nine thousand. But the managers knew it in their hearts, but didn't say it.
With the three major clans taking the lead, other small forces and small sects followed suit, mortgaging objects and people one after another, all borrowing more or less Qingyuan, forcing Wei Yuan to open a banknote printing factory again.
It was just that what puzzled the various families was that the Qingming Bank actually accepted the method of borrowing Qingyuan and repaying immortal silver, and accepted the immortal silver deposited by the various families in advance as collateral, and then after the loan matured, they could directly use the mortgaged immortal silver to offset the loan, and no repayment procedures were needed.
You must know that the current market rate was that one Qingyuan could already be exchanged for one tael and three mace of immortal silver, which was simply eyes-open losing money. If it weren't for the fact that Qingyuan loans had a specified term, if the various families just borrowed Qingyuan and repaid immortal silver, turning it back and forth, they would become huge fortunes in the blink of an eye.
Large families generally felt that Wei Yuan was kind and didn't earn this money. Small forces all felt that Wei Yuan was stupid and didn't think of discovering this loophole. Regardless of large families or small forces, anyway, no one reminded Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan didn't care either; mostly these people hadn't experienced the world beyond the heavens, and didn't know there was such a heavenly tribulation as inflation.
In the Yong'an City Lord's Mansion, Xiaoyu's body was floating with dim green light, looking at the five hundred or so light spheres in front of him, like watching candle fire at night, dealing with them with extreme ease, almost without using his brain, and the answers appeared naturally.
By comparison, more than ten days ago, when Xiaoyu dealt with one hundred and twenty-eight tasks, he was still exhausted to the point of death, and couldn't do it after a night.
At present, Wei Yuan was wealthy and had already built arrays in the City Lord's Mansions, Immortal Cities, medical halls, pill temples, weapon forging workshops, and other important places in various cities, which could use the functions of the Human World's Fireworks through the arrays, so the cultivators of the Grand Void Palace didn't need to enter dreams to use them.
Xiaoyu looked at the number of light spheres in front of him that far exceeded his original ability, sighed lightly, his face full of melancholy, and said: "So this is the feeling of being blessed by luck, but I never thought that today I could also..."
Beside him, Star Lord Shaoyang interrupted him: "Stop being sentimental, hurry up and work! Wei Yuan was blessed by luck many years ago, and you only know how powerful it is now? Still have time to be sentimental, I think your tasks are not full, if you are idle, I'll add sixty-four more for you!"
Facing the light spheres thrown over, Xiaoyu was flustered for a moment, and then seeing Star Lord Shaoyang rarely serious and earnest, he asked curiously: "What are you doing again?"
Star Lord Shaoyang didn't even lift his head and said: "Yin and Yang generate each other, and everyone in the Star Palace is very familiar with each other. Although I am in charge of Shaoyang, I also know quite a bit about the Dao of Taiyin. Even if I can't compare to Star Lord Taiyin, I know more than ordinary immortals."
"A Residual Fire Sword coming from the Great Sun can have such luck, I am preparing to make another immortal sword template according to the Dao of Taiyin, presumably the luck will also be quite a lot."
Xiaoyu was startled: "This is also possible? However, we have so much luck now, we can't use it up at all..."
"Shut up!" Star Lord Shaoyang rarely had an outburst, rebuking: "You thing with no ambition, this little luck is called a lot? Luck, this thing, no matter how much, it's never enough, you can use as much as you have!"
"The Immortal Dao is difficult, fight for every thread!"
"Don't forget that Star Lord Taiyin also has incarnations wandering in this world, what if her incarnation is also in Qingming? Now I want to take advantage of the opportunity before her incarnation awakens and quickly make the Taiyin Sword template. Even if she can make a better one in the future, we have already obtained a portion of the luck."
Xiaoyu asked strangely: "Isn't that Star Lord Taiyin an illusion created by Bao Yun? Why do you still take it seriously?"
"Illusions are born from the heart; she said so, actually because of me. I thought about it more and more and felt something was wrong; what if her incarnation is related to us, otherwise the illusion wouldn't have mentioned this matter. Speaking of which, Bao Yun's Dharma Form is not in the ordinary Dao path, but it is excessively powerful, even I could be tricked, so I still have to be careful when dealing with her in the future."
Xiaoyu still felt something was wrong: "Aren't we just stealing Star Lord Taiyin's luck? Do you have a bad relationship with her?"
Star Lord Shaoyang was expressionless: "What do you mean by stealing? I don't know she has an incarnation in this world. Besides, luck has no owner, and those with virtue can occupy it."
"Didn't you just say her incarnation might be nearby..."
"That's an illusion, it doesn't count. Do you think the eighth ranking is very high? If not, shut your bird mouth and hurry up and work!"
