Chapter 37

"A Nuo, did you calculate all this? So you can really calculate?" Sheng Yuanyao excitedly rubbed A Nuo's cheeks: "Is there any more, calculate a little more?"

A Nuo wanted to retreat.

If I could really calculate, shouldn't your first reaction be to struggle with that marriage matter?

So you only don't believe that matter, and believe everything else?

Unfortunately, the short legs couldn't escape the big sister's clutches, A Nuo was pinched and rubbed into a dough, and had to smile helplessly to change the subject: "Sister, your white flower-like dress is really beautiful."

"Really? Oh, who cares about this, calculate a few more?"

"Actually, there aren't that many. The matter of Hall Master Wang's wife just now was calculated, the others were what I really saw. I ran around the mountain for the past few months and saw a lot. They treated me as a child and didn't avoid me much..."

"The small Danxia Gang is really full of talents..." Sheng Yuanyao sighed: "Remember to call me if there is such a good thing in the future."

A Nuo hurriedly said: "This time it was Master who remembered to call you."

"Loyal." Sheng Yuanyao patted Lu Xingzhou's shoulder with satisfaction: "That Yang something from the Huo family, do you want me to help you deal with him?"

Lu Xingzhou couldn't laugh or cry: "You want to deal with him yourself, and you use this to reward me?"

"Can that be the same?" Sheng Yuanyao stared: "If it were just for myself, I could just deal with him."

"If you really want to help us... then on October 10th, the Heavenly Travel Sword Sect's founding ceremony, can City Lord Sheng come as a distinguished guest to support the scene?"

Shen Tang glanced at him and didn't say anything.

In fact, everyone hadn't discussed any founding ceremony at all, let alone such a specific date... However, Lu Xingzhou must have his reasons for saying so, just listen.

Sheng Yuanyao's father asked her to secretly help Shen Tang so early, and now there is nothing to say, so she agreed very simply: "This should be done, supporting the Heavenly Travel Sword Sect is also the Emperor's meaning. But Lu Xingzhou, you always hide some other purposes when doing things. Can you just hold the ceremony and not cause trouble? I just took office..."

Lu Xingzhou sighed: "City Lord, whether to cause trouble or not is not up to me, but up to what the heads of various forces in Xiazhou think. If everyone is at peace, we are naturally happy to have fewer incidents. Who wants to cause trouble at their own ceremony? Honestly, asking you to hold the scene is also hoping that the new City Lord's face can suppress some things that shouldn't happen."

Sheng Yuanyao thought for a while and nodded: "Okay. The 10th, right, I will come."

Sheng Yuanyao left this sentence and slipped away. After walking two steps, she turned back and pinched A Nuo's face a few times before she was satisfied and completely flashed away.

A Nuo: "..."

Shen Tang finally spread her voice to the whole field: "Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest. Starting tomorrow, the Heavenly Travel Sword Sect will enter Danxia Mountain, and elders will be responsible for the merger. This sect master promises everyone that as long as the aptitude meets the requirements, the third-grade sword cultivation method will be right before your eyes."

The crowd in the square dispersed in private whispers, and Shen Tang's gaze finally fell on Lu Xingzhou's face: "What's the meaning of this ceremony?"

"Don't forget that the main purpose of inviting me to be a guest official is sect development, not just to cure your legs. And you have enough manpower now, and high-end combat power is also on the way here. Now the most important thing for you is to make money and need a lot of resources to support people."

"Yes. You said before to wait for the City Lord to settle... Now it's Sheng Yuanyao, is it more convenient?"

"Of course. With Sheng Yuanyao here, it's not difficult for us to monopolize the previous purification sword talisman business. This thing looks cheap and simple, but if it can really be monopolized, the business can be very big, and it can be promoted to the surrounding areas later. Of course, this is not enough, we still need a real pillar industry. How about you say monopolizing sword manufacturing and being an arms dealer?"

Shen Tang was stunned. She thought Lu Xingzhou would come up with another idea that everyone hadn't thought of like the purification sword talisman, but she didn't expect it to be this kind of business that is everywhere in this world, which surprised her instead.

"Development strategies don't have to be novel, but they must be practical and adapted to local conditions. According to the local situation and your strengths, choose the optimal solution." Lu Xingzhou could naturally see what she was thinking, and said seriously: "You were royal merchants before, and the sources of goods were all ready-made, but now you don't have them, and you need to choose a pillar industry that suits your strengths. For the Sword Sect, flying sword refining is a typical one, this is the first."

"Second, in the world of cultivation, elixirs, magic treasures, talismans, flying swords, and defensive gear are all lifeline industries. And in Xiazhou, the main industries are medicinal materials and alchemy. Although there are other items, they are not very good at them, not to mention the grade is average, and many are imported from other places to sell. It's a pity that we have such an advantage but don't occupy this market."

"Third, Xiazhou has many mountains. It's not just that there are many medicinal materials, in fact, the surrounding mineral resources are also quite rich. Of course, there is a lack of high-end materials, but it is enough to supply the forging needs of ordinary flying swords, and high-end materials can be purchased separately. Moreover, Xiazhou has many geothermal fires, so there is a lot of alchemy. Geothermal fire is not only suitable for alchemy, it can also refine tools—there is geothermal fire on Danxia Mountain, the geothermal fire is red and external, so it is called Danxia, but it has nothing to do with the Danxia landform."

"With such unique advantages, it doesn't make sense to consider new things and new ideas."

Shen Tang nodded: "I've been taught... Then what should we do specifically?"

"You can easily produce sixth-grade or even fifth-grade flying swords, while most people in Xiazhou are still struggling in the lower three grades. We don't need to compete with others for those ordinary goods on the surface, we focus on high-end customization, and even auctions. When the brand is built, the lower three-grade market will naturally recognize our brand, winning without fighting."

"Then take a high-grade flying sword out for auction to grab attention first?"

"Of course, it's our founding ceremony; there will be plenty of plays at the ceremony." Lu Xingzhou said leisurely: "But be careful, someone will definitely cause trouble for you at this ceremony, and Sheng Yuanyao can't suppress it."

"Knowing that there will be trouble, why must you choose this way?"

"Times have changed; you are no longer the Shen family firm that was hiding in the past few days. This mentality of not wanting to cause trouble needs to be adjusted." Lu Xingzhou sighed: "My princess, I am not ruling Danxia, you are truly ruling Xiazhou, who else but you. Now that it happens that the Emperor's attitude is used as an arrow, if you don't take the opportunity to suppress the Xiazhou sects in one fell swoop, there won't be such a good opportunity when the limelight cools down."

Shen Tang was silent for a moment and nodded: "I see."

Lu Xingzhou smiled somewhat tiredly: "Okay, it's late, you go back and rest... I'll cure my legs at night, and I'll change your medicine tomorrow morning, the last time."

Shen Tang thought of the ointment she had left on the desk before going out: "Is it convenient for you to apply medicine yourself?"

Lu Xingzhou was stunned: "It's not me applying it myself, I have A Nuo to assist."

Shen Tang asked subconsciously: "Do you want me to come?"

As soon as the words came out, she felt that this was a bit too much, her cheeks turned crimson instantly, and she said stutteringly: "That, forget it, I won't. A Nuo is a famous teacher and apprentice, let A Nuo come."

After speaking, she turned the wheelchair and slipped away like flying.

Dugu Qingli chased after her helplessly, thinking about the feasibility of moving the Household Registration Division over again.

A Nuo poked her head out to see the two go away, let out a long breath, and held the handle of her own wheelchair with a relaxed heart.

Watching Lu Xingzhou's somewhat silent appearance all the way, she asked carefully: "Don't you really let her apply it? I see you are also itching. With Shen Tang's attitude, if you use some means, you might really roll together..."

Lu Xingzhou said helplessly: "Is this what a child says?"

A Nuo hummed: "You are obviously lecherous, you deliberately touched others so many times, what are you pretending for."

Lu Xingzhou was silent for a moment and whispered: "If she weren't so good, I might have some means."

Stop at the point, A Nuo understands.

With that kind of experience since childhood, and being from the demonic path, there is no real gentleman, and he even dared to eat Yuan Muyu's tofu, let alone others. Shen Tang is a peerless beauty, if he said he had no thoughts, he would definitely be a eunuch, and Lu Xingzhou didn't break his third leg. But Shen Tang is very good to him, and he can't calculate her instead.

If it's really about love, he doesn't dare. He has tasted the taste of this thing, and it's not very good.

Not to mention before he can stand up, there is no other mood, how to play wheelchair play.

The houses in front appeared vaguely in his eyes, and Lu Xingzhou finally said: "Don't go back yet, go to the Huo residence."

The Huo residence was already empty.

When Lu Xingzhou took revenge and killed the old servants earlier, there were still some young servants left, but after this big case, they really ran away.

The Huo old butler who was kidnapped back and forth completed his historical mission and died long ago. The Huo residence hadn't had a manager for several days. No one is a fool; they searched the cabinets to find their own deeds of sale and burned them all, and even took away the remaining valuables.

So this time entering the Huo residence, it was messy everywhere as if it had been robbed.

Lu Xingzhou naturally didn't care about these, A Nuo pushed him directly into the main house to see if there were any classics to check.

Most of the servants were illiterate and didn't understand the value of books, and books were heavy, so these things were not taken away. Lu Xingzhou pulled out an old book from the shelf and scanned it: "Heh, it's a rare edition."

A Nuo said: "The really valuable ones were taken to the capital long ago, and the ones left in the old house are not very valuable, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. Keeping the old house originally had the preparation to retire and continue to live there, why move everything away? Only cultivation classics would be taken away, these cultural pretentious items generally don't need to be taken. So even if the classics recording this terrain were taken away, it is still possible that some predecessors' notes exist, I want to see if it is possible to find some clues."

A Nuo nodded, seeing Lu Xingzhou checking the books on the surface, she closed her eyes to perceive.

—The so-called divination, A Nuo only knows a little bit of fur, and she can't see who the main character is from Sheng Yuanyao's marriage palace.

Hall Master Wang's wife is stealing people, because she knew it through other means.

A Nuo has had a kind of talent since she hadn't started practicing, she can receive information from flowers and plants around her, and can also communicate.

With the increase of cultivation, the talent range has expanded, and now it can cover most of Danxia Mountain.

There must be a secret room in the Huo residence, no one knows where it is. But some secret rooms will plant some flowers and potted plants to regulate the air, which might be perceived by A Nuo.

After a while, A Nuo opened her eyes: "There is a secret room, right under here, the flowers in the potted plants are almost dead..."
