Chapter 63 Keeping the Business! He Is Also a Big Shot

…

A few days later.

The entrance to the main house of the Dongfang family in Jinggang.

Banners with red characters on a white background were pulled up one after another. On the banners were written various slogans such as "pay back debts", "Dongfang owes the tenant farmers their hard-earned money" and other slogans.

As the good people gathered around to watch, the news quickly spread throughout Tianjin and Hong Kong.

Over the years, the Dongfang family in Tianjin and Hong Kong has been declining day by day. Even though the family has continued to reduce internal expenses and lowered the ration standards for family members, it is still unable to make ends meet.

As the saying goes, "Everyone pushes down the wall." Once a family falls into decline, it is like a sick animal exuding the breath of death, which will naturally attract greedy vultures and various predators.

If they can survive, the family may be able to come back to life. If they cannot resist, the family will be like dead animals, with their flesh and blood torn apart and devoured, and even their bones will be eaten away by the vicious wolves, tigers and leopards.

This is the cruel survival rule of the family.

now.

In the reception hall of the Dongfang family's main residence.

The second ancestor of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yunde, who is also a member of the seventh-grade family of Tianjin and Hong Kong, drank spiritual tea slowly and said: "Brother Yuxi, it's not that we Shangguan families don't miss our fellow villagers. As the saying goes, repaying debts means paying back debts. It’s a matter of course. These IOUs are all from your hand, right? Pay back the money, we Shangguan family also have to live."

Dongfang Yuxi's face was extremely ugly: "I borrowed these IOUs from various trading houses, why are they in the hands of your Shangguan family?"

"Of course it was the money owed to me by the Shangguan family from those commercial banks, and they took these IOUs to pay off their debts. The transfer of creditor's rights is a common thing." Shangguan Yunde put down the tea cup and said with a sneer, "Brother Yuxi, I advise you not to pay any attention to it. It's up to him. We have the IOU in hand, and no matter where this lawsuit goes, we will definitely win."

"Ancestor Yunde, I have a marrow cleaning pill here, can it be worth 150,000 gold?" Dongfang Yuxi lowered her head and said, "We, the Dongfang clan, will pay back the rest slowly."

"The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a good thing, but if you want to buy it for 150,000 gold, do you think I, Shangguan Yunde, are a fool?" Shangguan Yunde sneered, "Now the Marrow Cleansing Pill launched by Wang's Alchemy Company can be purchased at the membership price of only It requires 126,000 dry gold. I say Dongfang Yuxi, if you don’t know how to make elixirs, then don’t do it. It will ruin the family forever.”

Dongfang Yuxi's words made the veins on her neck pop out, her eyes showing both dissatisfaction and annoyance.

Alchemy is a highly technical sideline, and an excellent alchemist is more than enough to support a seventh-grade family.

But the problem is that the investment in training an alchemist is astronomical.

In order to master the refining of high-grade elixirs as soon as possible, Dongfang Yuxi often takes risks and accepts some elixir refining opportunities at low prices. In this case, if the refining is good, at most she will not lose money, but if the refining fails, she will have to lose money.

Many times, even if the price of Dongfang Yuxi is low, people are not willing to ask him to refine it. It is better to sell the elixir directly to Wang's Alchemy Company and exchange it for elixirs or dry gold.

The infighting of Wang's Alchemy Company has dealt a heavy blow to many alchemists working alone. Under the persuasion of various branches, many alchemists from sixth- and seventh-grade families have joined Wang's Alchemy Company, receiving high basic salaries and Dividends make life more prosperous.

"Brother Yuxi, I count your marrow-cleansing pill at 125,000 gold, and the remaining amount including principal and interest is still 463,000 gold." Shangguan Yunde said arrogantly, "You have three days to make up for it. Otherwise, don't blame us for asking the city guard to seal your main residence."

After saying those cruel words, Shangguan Yunde left in a swaggering manner, leaving Dongfang Yuxi alone, who seemed to have been drained of all her strength.

What should I do about this home?

Dongfang Yuxi looked at the table in front of her in a daze, her eyes blank.

at the same time.

On the wall of Dongfang's backyard.

Dongfang Mingxu and Lingrou, brother and sister, both looked solemn.

"Lingrou, something big happened at home today, do you still want to see Senior Alchemy King?" Dongfang Mingxu's eyes were full of worry.

"Brother Mingxu, that's why I want to see Senior Alchemy King." Dongfang Lingrou gritted her teeth and said, "I can beg Senior Alchemy King to save our Dongfang family. I can join Wang's alchemy company and start from now on." Start as an apprentice, work for Wang for free, and spend your whole life repaying this debt."

"Lingrou, are you crazy?" Dongfang Mingxu said angrily, "You have been spotted by Longzuo Academy. As long as you join Longzuo Academy, no core disciple will be able to escape in the future. Relying on the resources of the Academy, There is a high probability that you will achieve the realm of heaven and humanity. Your future is very good, how can you make such a decision?"

"Although the academy is good, water from far away cannot save the fire that is close by." Dongfang Lingrou clicked her foot lightly, and she flew into the air like a nimble swift and flew outside the courtyard.

Her voice came through the courtyard wall.

"Brother Mingxu, from now on, the family depends on you to protect it."

"Lingrou!"

The expression on Dongfang Mingxu's still immature face was filled with pain, and even the veins on his neck were bulging.

…

Jingang Baiwei Pavilion.

This is one of the chain industries of Longzuo Yuwenshi.

Because the person in charge of the Yuwen family now is Mrs. Bilian, who was born in the Longshangguan family, the Jinggang Shangguan family found a way to recognize Mrs. Bilian's marriage, which is considered to be a big support.

By helping the Yuwen family manage and operate the Jingang Baiwei Pavilion, the Jingang Shangguan family gradually won a part of the shares, and more or less some dividends would be paid every year.

This is the benefit of a family having main lineage relatives. A little support at critical moments can benefit a lot.

However, clan relatives are not nannies.

If you don't know how to measure yourself and only know how to ask for things without knowing anything in return, you will only be disliked by others.

At this point, the Jinggang Shangguan family did a good job. Not only did they work hard to curry favor with Mrs. Bilian, but even the Wang family, who had to go round and round to get in touch with her, spared no effort in currying favor with her.

Whenever the Wang family has a "Heavenly Banquet", a "Purple Mansion Banquet", or even an ancestor's birthday, the Jinggang Shangguan family will personally send a gift to the ancestor.

This time, Wang Shouye, the seventh master of the Wang family, found it difficult to get to Jinggang. Naturally, Shangguan Jianming, the first ancestor of the Shangguan family, came to visit them as soon as possible. The relationship between Shangguan Bilian and Wang Ningxi was transferred to Shangguan Lingbo and Wang Ningxi.

Wang Shouye refused, and after inspecting the alchemy company's small branch in Jinggang, he accepted the banquet hosted by Shangguan's family in Jinggang at Baiweige.

At this moment, Wang Shouye was sitting with several members of the Shangguan clan and his companions in the private room of Baiwei Pavilion.

The banquet was attended by very few people.

Among them, only three people from the Shangguan family participated, namely Shangguan Zhiyuan, the ancestor of Jianming and the current head of the family, and Shangguan Yingjie, a handsome and intelligent young man in his teens.

In addition, the current city guard of Jinggang Guard, Fang Huaiyuan, came to accompany him.

However, at this table, only Shangguan Jianming and City Guard Fang Huaiyuan, who were in the Heavenly Realm, were qualified to accompany Wang Shouye in the last seat. Apart from them, the promising young man Shangguan Yingjie and even Shangguan Zhiyuan, the head of the Shangguan family, could only stand and toast.

There is no way, the identity gap is too big.

Looking at Wang Shouye who was sitting at the top with a calm demeanor and impressive demeanor, just like a banished immortal prince, Patriarch Jianming and Fang Huaiyuan were in awe, and their faces showed a look of fawning unconsciously.

Although Wang Shouye has lived in seclusion in recent years, his nickname of "Da Qian Dan King" has already become famous far and wide. Everyone in Daqian knew that there was an Alchemy King in Longzuo County. He was already proficient in refining fifth-grade elixirs at a young age. He also had outstanding qualifications and had great hope of breaking through to the realm of supernatural power. He was the most potential alchemist in Daqian.

Maybe one day in the future, he will become another magical realm alchemist besides the real Yuan Dan in the Holy Land Xuandan Pavilion.

In addition, the two met this time, and when they felt the vague and powerful power in Wang Shouye, they realized with horror that Wang Shouye had unexpectedly broken through the Purple Mansion Realm. Moreover, Wang Shouye is only over 190 years old this year, which is much younger than the two of them.

This gap is simply a world of difference.

In fact, Wang Shouye had already reached the peak of the Heavenly Realm, but Wang Shouzhe asked him to hold down his level and not break through for the time being, waiting for the treasures from the Blood Lord's ruins.

As soon as this bloodline was promoted, it was a natural breakthrough.

Even if they were drinking at the same table as Wang Shouye, Shangguan Jianming and Fang Huaiyuan felt frightened and under tremendous pressure. The gap in identity and strength between the two sides was too great.

"Master Shouye." Shangguan Jianming toasted with great respect and said with a smile on his face, "Some time ago we went to Xinping Town for business, and we met Master Ning Xi and Miss Lingbo. We heard them mention you at that time, but I have always been side by side. Seeing King Dan today is like fulfilling my old dream."

"Ancestor Jianming, you're welcome." Wang Shouye's tone was calm and polite, "The so-called Alchemy King is just random flattery. There are many more powerful alchemists in the world than Shouye."

In fact, Wang Shouye also knew that the Shangguan family in Jinggang had a relatively distant relationship with Lingbo, but after all, it was a clan member who came to visit, so the due gesture was naturally indispensable.

This is the case among aristocratic families. The bigger the aristocratic family is, the less they can set their sights on others and look down on this one and that one. Otherwise, once such a family tradition is formed, it will create many hidden dangers for the family.

"Master Shouye, do you think our child Zhiyuan has the Lihuo bloodline of Li Zhongpin B, and I don't know which route is better for him in the future?" Shangguan Jianming asked cautiously.

"The middle grade B level is not bad." Wang Shouye encouraged him gently, "He is still young now, but he can take advantage of the fact that he has not yet been promoted to the Lingtai realm and use the combination of Marrow Cleansing Pill and Wuji Treasure Pill to stimulate the bloodline of Tianjiao. However, the Infinite Treasure Pill must be used at least in the Lingtai realm, and it is quite difficult, so it is best to find a Master from the Purple Mansion to protect it."

Wuji treasure elixir? Are you still looking for Master Zifu?

That's two to three million gold in one breath!

Shangguan Jianming's old face twitched, and he thought to himself, Mr. Shouye, you really don't have back pain when you stand and talk. Why don't you eat minced meat as a typical example.

The Shangguan family in Jinggang can be regarded as a prosperous seventh-grade family. While maintaining the alternation of two heavens and humans, they can also have enough energy to cultivate the third heaven and human realm. This is already considered as taking advantage of the Guilong Shangguan clan.

What's more, the price of Wuji Baodan is just the starting point. If a family wants to cultivate a Zifu realm, it will take about three hundred years and tens of millions of gold!

Even if they package up and sell the entire Shangguan family in Jinggang, bricks and mortar, it will definitely not fetch tens of millions of gold.

"Thank you Mr. Anye for pointing out the way." Shangguan Jianming said with a dry smile, "But our Shangguan family in Jinggang still has self-awareness and can eat as much as we can. I don't want to think about this Wuji Treasure Pill anymore. I don't want it anymore."

The Shangguan family in Jinggang has been able to stand for thousands of years, so it naturally has its own way of survival. Being too ambitious is not a good thing for a family.

"Haha~" Fang Huaiyuan laughed heartily, "What Ancestor Jianming said makes sense. The development of a family lies in moving forward steadily, rather than aiming too high and trying to reach the sky in one step. The Dongfang family just can't figure this out and thinks that he is a bit of an alchemist. I worked hard on my talent, hoping to make a comeback through alchemy. The result? The family declined step by step, and now we can’t even get back the mortgaged family property.”

"Congratulations to ancestor Jianming. I think it won't be long before your Shangguan family dominates Jinggang. If we manage it carefully, a sixth-grade family will not be able to escape in the future."

"What the hell." Shangguan Jianming said humbly, "Dongfang Yuxi just brought the blame for this matter on herself. These days, the alchemist's rice bowl is not good. It is too difficult to stand out alone."

Valley/span>Dongfangshi? Dongfang Yuxi.

Wang Shouye frowned slightly, and some memories slowly returned to his mind, as if he had returned to the past.

That incident happened a long time ago, almost one hundred and seventy years ago, right?

Suddenly!

"Snapped!"

Outside the room, the sound of a dinner plate falling to the floor was heard.

Immediately afterwards, a little girl wearing Baiweige waiter's clothes opened the door and rushed in quickly. Without waiting for anyone to question her, she knelt down in front of Wang Shouye with a bang.

This woman is none other than Dongfang Lingrou of the Dongfang clan.

Probably after going through some twists and turns, Dongfang Lingrou looked anxious at this moment, and her young cheeks were still flushed from running. She looked embarrassed and pitiful.

"Senior Dan King! Please help our Dongfang clan." Dongfang Lingrou walked forward on her knees and begged, "I can agree to any conditions, even if I am a slave by your side. OK."

"Who is this little girl?"

Shangguan Jianming and Fang Huaiyuan's expressions changed.

Shangguan Jianming was even more angry and said: "Come here, what do you do for food? Why did you let a little girl sneak in?"

Outside the house, the boss rushed in with a few guys.

Seeing the scene in the room, his face turned pale and he almost fainted.

It's over, it's over, something big has happened now.

"Eh? Dongfang Lingrou?" Shangguan Zhiyuan recognized her identity and his expression changed, "Why did you get in? This is not the place you should be, so leave quickly!"

We are all the younger generation of the Tianren family in Tianjin, and have good qualifications and bloodlines, so we have naturally seen them on weekdays. What's more, he was just the age of young Mu Ai, so he still had a good impression of Dongfang Lingrou.

"Shangguan Zhiyuan, so you are here too? Humph, I'm here to meet Senior Dan King, I don't need you to worry about it!" Dongfang Lingrou looked stubborn. She glanced at him and stopped talking to him. She turned to face the king again. Shouye prayed, "I hope you will have mercy on me, senior."

Ancestor Jianming hurriedly raised his hand to Wang Shouye and said: "Master Shouye, this is an act of dereliction of duty. I didn't take precautions against someone breaking into the box and disturbing you. Someone, please get the young lady of the Dongfang family out quickly."

"Miss Dongfang, please go. If you don't leave, we little people will be in trouble." The boss hurriedly led the guys over, trying to invite Dongfang Lingrou out.

"That's all." Wang Shouye frowned slightly and waved his hand, "Since we are old friends, let's stay for now."

"this?"

The boss and the waiter were at a loss.

"Everyone, since Senior Alchemy King has spoken, you can go out." Shangguan Zhiyuan bowed his hands to the chief, his young and immature face showing calmness and calmness, "Please clean up a little outside, and record all the broken dishes and dishes." It’s on our account.”

"Yes, Master Zhiyuan." The principal and others hurriedly retreated.

Later, Shangguan Zhiyuan moved another stool to Dongfang Lingrou and sighed: "Miss Lingrou, there are indeed conflicts between our two clans, but aristocratic families will compete with each other for living space. Our Shangguan clan We are in Tianjin and Hong Kong with you Dongfang clan, and there is no need to talk about who is right and who is wrong when competing for living space. You don’t need to glare at me...glaring at me is useless."

Wang Shouye nodded secretly after hearing this.

Shangguan Zhiyuan's reaction was quite quick. After hearing Wang Shouye say that he was an old friend, he immediately tried to find a way to excuse Shangguan's family.

Being able to raise such a child, the Shangguan family in Jinggang will definitely have some good luck in the future.

Although Wang Shouye is addicted to alchemy, he is almost 200 years old. Naturally, he will not judge things based on his own likes and dislikes, but will continue to observe quietly.

"You're talking nonsense. You Shangguan family are doing so many dirty tricks." Dongfang Lingrou was also very smart and said angrily, "Just before, your ancestor Yunde went to our house to collect debts. You're holding a banner at the front door to create momentum. Besides, our family has never had any financial dealings with the Shangguan family, so you deliberately purchased other people's IOUs."

"This is clearly an attempt to deliberately squeeze out our Dongfang clan."

"What Miss Lingrou said is wrong." Shangguan Zhiyuan said, "Which family has conflicts and competitions, and who can't use some strategies? If you want to blame it, blame it on your ancestors, who made themselves impoverished by making alchemy."

"Okay, Zhiyuan, don't talk too much." Ancestor Jianming apologized to Wang Shouye, "This matter made Mr. Shouye laugh."

"It is normal for local aristocratic families to compete for living space. How can there be nothing to laugh at? Our Wang family has also experienced this along the way." Wang Shouye said calmly, "However, my fourth brother once said, if Enlarge the picture and look further. If local families have the opportunity to cooperate and expand externally, it will be more beneficial than simply involution."

"The master of the Shouzhe family is wise and wise, but old age is not as good as the unexpected." Ancestor Jianming hurriedly expressed his seriousness and cupped his hands towards the south.

Even Fang Huaiyuan raised his hands, with an expression of great admiration for Wang Shouzhe, and said with emotion: "It would be great if I could meet the head of the Shouzhe family in person and listen to his teachings."

In Longzuo County, the prestige of the Wang family and Wang Shouzhe was extremely high.

Wang Shouzhe's words were even more effective than those of the emperor who was "far away in Guilong City".

"Brother Yu Xi, I know that he has good talents, but he is a little arrogant." Wang Shouye muttered for a moment, "That's all, remembering a "friendship" in the past, Jianming Patriarch gave Shouye a Save face."

Ancestor Jianming hurriedly looked solemn, cupped his hands and said: "Master Shouye, please don't be so polite. Lingbo, the daughter of our main family, is your great-nephew and grandson. It's such a trivial matter. All I need is a word from you, Master." , Even if we have to go up mountains of swords and down seas of fire, our Shangguan family in Jinggang will never refuse."

"Now that the matter has been resolved, the little girl named Lingrou should go home." Wang Shouye smiled and waved.

What?

Is this solved?

Dongfang Lingrou was shocked. Senior Dan King solved the huge disaster in their family with just one sentence! ?

"What are you doing here, you girl? Go back quickly." Ancestor Jianming glared and said, "Do you think that our Jinggang Shangguan clan dares to deceive Mr. Shouye?"

"Senior, I, I am willing to be a slave and a maidservant, and I will serve you all my life." Dongfang Lingrou was about to kneel down, but found that she was held up by an invisible force and could not kneel down no matter what.

At the same time, she only felt a blur in front of her eyes. When she regained consciousness, she had already left the Baiwei Pavilion. Wang Shouye's gentle voice came to her ears: "Girl, I don't need you to serve me. You have a good talent. Practice hard and strive to be a good person in the future." A person who can protect the tribe and be useful to the human race."

"Yes, senior!"

Dongfang Lingrou thanked Wang Shouye stubbornly and then hurried back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived home, she saw that all the banners at the door had been torn down.

Shangguan Yunde, the second ancestor of the Shangguan family, stepped into the main house of the Dongfang family with a smile on his face: "Brother Yuxi, we flooded the Dragon King Temple and the whole family no longer recognizes each other. Brother Yu is here to apologize to you. coming."

"Yun, brother Yunde, why did you say this?" Dongfang Yuxi didn't know why and hurriedly invited him into the reception hall.

Soon, Shangguan Yunde's laughter and Dongfang Yuxi's apologetic laughter came from inside. Shangguan said that there is no need to rush to repay the debts owed, you can take your time! In the future, the two families will have more contacts and work together to create a future for Tianjin and Hong Kong.

A moment later, after Dongfang Yuxi sent Shangguan Yunde away, her aging face was filled with joy, and even her body was no longer so rickety.

"Grandpa Ancestor." Dongfang Mingxu was extremely shocked when he saw this scene, "How is it possible that Ling, Lingrou really solved this matter?"

"Lingrou?" Dongfang Yuxi was stunned and immediately had some bad premonitions. She looked at Dongfang Lingju who was walking over and said, "Lingrou, what on earth did you do?"

"Grandpa Ancestor, this is what happened." Dongfang Lingrou said excitedly, "I went to see Senior Alchemy King. It was Senior Alchemy King who solved our family's huge crisis with just one word."

"Wang Shouye?" Dongfang Yuxi's expression changed unpredictably, "Lingrou, please tell me carefully, without missing a word."

Dongfang Lingrou hurriedly told how she met Wang Shouye and how things developed, word for word.

And Dongfang Yuxi's old face had been in a state of continuous rain, until the end, when Dongfang Lingrou relayed Wang Shouye's words: "Girl, I don't need you to serve me, you have a good talent, practice hard, and strive to be a good person in the future. A person who can protect the tribe and be useful to the human race."

Dongfang Yuxi's body trembled heavily, with a look of shame and self-blame on her face, and she murmured: "Wang Shouye, Wang Shouye, I always thought you just robbed me of opportunities because of your family background and background. If We have changed places, and I, Dongfang Yuxi, can definitely do better than you."

Protect the tribe and be useful to the human race!

The gap between the two minds is too big.

Annoyance filled his chest. If he hadn't been so young and energetic back then, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.

If he had the courage of Lingrou, even if he shamelessly begged Master Alchemy to let him stay as a registered disciple, how could he have brought the entire Dongfang clan to such a situation?

"Girl, you are better than Grandpa Ancestor. You must remember what Senior Dan King said." Dongfang Yuxi rubbed the child's hair lovingly, turned and walked outside the main house.

"Grandpa, where are you going?" The two juniors hurriedly chased after him.

"Grandpa, I'm going to apply for a job at the branch of Wang's Alchemy Division." Dongfang Yuxi straightened her chest, "The guarantee is 30,000 yuan, plus bonuses. I, Dongfang Yuxi, will be able to pay off Shangguan's debts soon, and let Our Dongfang clan stands up again."

"Grandpa, let's go with you. We are also alchemy apprentices. Let's work together to pay back the money."

"Okay, okay, let's go together and pay back the money together."

at the same time.

Not far away, Wang Shouye, who was hiding in the dark and witnessed this scene with his own eyes, couldn't help but nodded secretly. This time when I passed by Tianjin Port, I was very pleased to encounter and unravel such an old incident.

I hope everything will go well this time when I go to Dazhou to seek the opportunity to refine the alchemy [Treasure Book].

I, Wang Shouye, also have clansmen that I want to protect.

"Young Master Shou Ye is so kind-hearted and gentle, I am quite touched by this." A charming and pleasant voice sounded from behind him, "Then the little girl's bloodline and personality are not bad, why don't I help you train her? It will be very useful to keep her."

…
