Chapter 152
The next day Xu Qing went to the place where the token was located. There was a small merchant ship with acceptable items. Although it was not particularly valuable, it was still of some value. The most important thing was that Xu Qing saw a bunch of medicinal materials inside.

According to the cautious reply of the disciple who manages this place, Xu Qing knew that no one had come to pick up the ship for two months.

So Xu Qing put away the medicinal materials, called his informant to deal with the merchant ships, and inquired about the opening of the port.

"Master, I have learned everything about the opening of the port, and I am going to report it to you."

"The newly opened port is divided into internal and external, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, the internal benefits are not very large, but it is convenient for the master to establish contacts with the disciples under the mountain."

"As for the outside world, the benefits are huge, but this requires many departments to settle in, such as water diversion, such as dispatching, such as transportation, etc., but once it is built, even if it is only a simple port, with the exchange of merchant ships, the income will be amazing. In addition, it will also attract shops to settle in. , which is another benefit.”

The informant said in a low voice, she dared not slacken the slightest slack in the task Xu Qing entrusted to her. She spent two months of continuous investigation and research, and even spent some spiritual coins to buy a lot of information.

So after Xu Qing asked, she didn't think too long, and told all about the opening of the new port.

"However, the project is huge. Even if it is just the simplest port, the initial infrastructure needs at least 300 million spirit stones. If all the facilities such as shops are completed, the total investment will be more than [-] million, and there will be no ceiling according to the demand."

When Xu Qing heard this, his expression seemed normal, but he was secretly shocked. He thought he was rich now, after all, there were dozens of spirit stones in the storage bag of the sea corpse clan. million look.

But hearing the informant's words at this moment, Xu Qing could only remain silent.

"But the final income is also extremely terrifying. The throughput of our seven blood pupils is limited. During this period of time, I have observed the boats coming and going, and [-]% of the boats that come to the seven blood pupils every day have to queue up before they can enter."

"Once our new port is opened up, there will be no shortage of merchant ships berthing and traveling. Master, I compared other ports and calculated secretly. Our actual total investment is about 300 million spirit stones, and the proceeds can be used later. Build slowly."

"If everything goes well, we will be able to break even in about two years at the most, and we will be able to pay back the capital in the third year after that. The subsequent annual income should be around 300 million spirit stones."

"In addition, I also heard about other seniors who established the foundation and opened up the port. Few of them fully invested in it by themselves, and they were often joined by multiple people. Therefore, if the master is willing to join in, it seems that he must be a senior who established the foundation. .”

"In addition, many banks in the Zongmen are also keen on this. I heard that the Zongmen has many restrictions on this, so not many ports have their shares."

Xu Qing pondered.

The opening of the port was originally just because he felt that the quota should not be wasted, and once it was built, he didn't need to do anything, and he would get such a large amount of income every year, so he asked the informant to inquire.

But listening to it now, although Xu Qing is tempted, it is too expensive, and there are obviously a lot of troublesome things involved.

In addition, putting so many spirit stones into it would bind him too deeply with the Seven Blood Eyes. Xu Qing was a little hesitant about this, and he suddenly understood why many foundation-building monks did not choose to open ports.

On the one hand, it involves energy to deepen the fetters, and on the other hand, it also consumes too much.

With these spirit stones, Xu Qing felt that he could even issue a mission and ask others to capture sea beasts for him.

So after thinking about it, Xu Qing already wanted to give up.

So he asked the informant to leave, and he himself changed into a gray Taoist robe, ready to buy and sell materials.

When he came back this time, he had to buy a lot of things, whether it was herbs or talismans, he also planned to see the magic tools sold in the sect.

Magical artifacts are very expensive, Xu Qing was reluctant to part with them before, but now his pockets are quite rich, so he plans to choose one.

At the same time, Xu Qing was also very interested in the soul slips that Yifeng's Wu Jianwu once threw out, and was going to look for them to see if they were for sale. Although the efficiency of these items was mediocre, they were very convenient to absorb.

"There is also a spirit lamp..." Xu Qing was thinking while walking on the street. Under the cover of the gray Taoist robe at this moment, coupled with his restrained cultivation, he looked very ordinary, except that occasionally there would be a Two gazes swept over him vaguely from the crowd.

The people who came here were all Foundation Establishment cultivators who wore gray Taoist robes like Xu Qing. When they sensed each other's aura, they would often move away as soon as their eyes met, without disturbing each other.

In this way, Xu Qing came all the way to the breakfast stall that he used to go to every day, sat down, and ate a delicious meal under the warm greeting of the stall owner.

This time, he ate four eggs.

Although he could go without food for several days and nourish himself with mana after he entered the foundation building, Xu Qing still liked to eat as before, which gave him a sense of satisfaction.

While eating, he took out his identity token and sent it to Huangyan for voice transmission, asking how the other party's proposal to buy the spiritual lamp would be done.

Huang Yan didn't reply immediately, until when Xu Qing finished eating and was about to leave, he received a message from Huang Yan.

"Buy, Xu Qing, are you back? Where are you? I'll look for you."

Looking at Huang Yan's echo, Xu Qing's eyes showed anticipation, thinking that 50 spirit stones would be credited to his account, he was very happy. After telling the other party's location, Xu Qing soon saw Huang Yan who was rushing all the way.

He seemed to be getting fatter, and the circles of flesh stretched out by his clothes were a few more layers than before.

Seeing Xu Qing, Huang Yan laughed and threw out a bundle of thick spiritual tickets.

"The denomination of a thousand spiritual stones is the exclusive spiritual ticket of the Sixth Peak, a total of [-] tickets."

"Time is too short, I only got these here from the Lingshi, and I can use a magic weapon to offset the rest." Huang Yan said, took out a black inner armor, and handed it to Xu Qing.

"Magic artifact?" Xu Qing took the inner armor, and immediately felt that the inner armor was filled with countless runes after the mana poured in. They were arranged together according to a certain law, permeating the entire inner armor. I'm afraid it's not less than one hundred thousand, but Xu Qing noticed how good this inner armor is just by sensing it a little bit.

"This is a ten thousand rune armor. I originally planned to give it to my senior sister, but I think she likes spiritual lamps more. Let me exchange this armor with you. It can be sold for about 30 spirit stones. gone."

"Although this thing is only a low-level magic weapon, it has good protection. If you wear it and encounter Xuanyao State Foundation Establishment, as long as the opponent is not a second fire, you can resist it several times."

Huang Yan seemed to know the foundation very well. It was obvious that his senior sister had popularized him many times, and his cultivation was obviously to the point where he needed to break through.

Xu Qing nodded, put away the ten thousand rune armor, took out the spiritual lamp and handed it to Huang Yan.

"Do you want me to take you to the Seventh Peak?" Xu Qing looked at Huang Yan who was playing with the spiritual lamp, and asked softly.

"No, who would dare to snatch what I want to give to Senior Sister?" Huang Yan patted his stomach, happily put away the spiritual lamp, and was about to take out the jade slips to transmit voice to Senior Sister, when he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xu Qing glance.

"Xu Qing, last time I told you that there will be a war, it is basically confirmed, you can decide whether to participate in the war." After speaking, he waved at Xu Qing, and quickly ran to the seventh peak.

Looking at Huang Yan's back, Xu Qing also felt emotional in his heart. He found that Huang Yan was really rich, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones and magical artifacts were taken out as soon as he asked, but Xu Qing did not investigate Huang Yan's background.

This is a very taboo thing in Qixuetong, Xu Qing is unwilling to do it.

So after watching Huang Yan leave, he narrowed his eyes slightly thinking about what the other party said before.

"war……"

Xu Qing murmured, and the last thought of opening a port was wiped out at this moment. He was going to exchange the right to open a port for another street.

Although the income is not much, but better than nothing.

With this in mind, Xu Qing walked towards the shop selling jade talismans.

Most of the shops in the main city that buy and sell items used by the foundation-building monks are in the Pengming area of ​​the sixth peak. There are not many in the port area, and because the prices are extremely high, there are very few customers in such shops.

Most of them have separate compartments and are entertained by special disciples.

So after arriving in Pengming District, Xu Qing searched a lot, and finally chose a shop called Mingqi Pavilion, and walked in.

This shop is considered to be one of the largest shops in Pengming District of the Sixth Peak. It has five floors of attics, and the area of ​​each floor is about 200 feet.

The building inside is even more luxurious, and it looks very good, especially there are a lot of guys inside, there are men and women, it seems that there will be more customers than customers at any time, and they are all handsome and beautiful.

As soon as Xu Qing stepped in, he immediately attracted the attention of many shop assistants. Although Xu Qing was wearing a gray Taoist robe, his appearance was extremely outstanding. Even in the eyes of many female shop assistants, Xu Qing's arrival made the shop seem to be lit up. a bit.

Not to mention that the people who dared to step into their shop were basically no ordinary people, at least they were all core disciples, especially since they entertained a lot of Foundation Establishment monks, and it was clear that most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect liked to come in gray robes.

So many guys came quickly to receive him, but one of them, a beautiful girl with double ponytails, was the first to arrive in front of Xu Qing before everyone else.

"Senior brother, you can call me Xiaohui. If you need my help, I will do my best to serve you." Looking at Xu Qing's face, the girl blushed slightly, and said softly.

"Our Artifact Pavilion mainly focuses on utensils. The first floor is treasures, the second floor is jade charms, and the third floor is magic tools. Brother, let me introduce you to what you want to see."

Xu Qing glanced around and noticed that there were no other customers except himself on the first floor of the store, and also saw that the walls here were covered with various treasures.

Although they are all sealed, there are still decent fluctuations spreading.

In particular, there are dozens of crystal pillars in the hall, and there are also shining talismans inside.

It can be stored so alone, so the visible quality should be better.

"I want to see the Magical Artifact." Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, looked at the girl whose face was getting redder under his gaze, and said calmly.

The eyes of the girl with twin ponytails became brighter when she heard this.
