Ruins of the past

The craftsmen in front of Chu Qiguang also had skills passed down from generation to generation, and they were almost unwilling to learn and innovate excessively, all because they were afraid of being possessed.

Chu Qiguang had no choice but to invite Fayuan Taoist priests to perform exorcism rituals for them to encourage them spiritually.

Then all twelve craftsmen were secretly fed golden wine and used the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique, which turned them into hidden half-demon, just like Wang Cailiang, Hao Xiangtong and others, and actually enhanced their ability to resist being possessed by demons.

The day after the Sky Demon Foundation Building Method was completed, all twelve craftsmen felt like they were reborn.

But of course they didn't know the existence of the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique. They just thought that the exorcism ritual performed by Taoist Fayuan yesterday had an effect and that Taoist Xuanyuan appeared.

Then Chu Qiguang rewarded each of them with one tael of silver, and said that if one machine is built, each of them will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. If two machines are built, each of them will be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver. Two silver coins.

But if it can't be made...

Chu Qiguang's face darkened, he looked at the twelve people and said, "You all know who Mr. Wu Wei is. You have one year to study these two machines. If you can't build one after one year, then no one can No good fruit to eat."

Wu Wei's reputation is obviously very useful in the Qingyang County area. Now with the Taoist spirit appearing, the stimulation of money, the physical body being reborn, and the threat from the Wu family, the twelve craftsmen immediately began to work hard every day. research work.

After temporarily settling the craftsmen's side, Chu Qiguang went to the Taoist temple again, just because Abbot Chenzhu said that indulgence coupons could not be used, so he had to think of another name.

Chu Qiguang asked tentatively and found out that some senior members of the Tianshi Sect were dissatisfied with the content of the indulgence.

So he thought for a while and said: "Then it would be better for me, the Wu family and the Taoist temple to jointly invest in setting up a merit bank. The money will be deposited and we will take care of it together. The Taoist priests will pray for the families who save the money every day. When it expires, The money will be returned to them later..."

"When the time comes, we will build a merit wall at the entrance of the Taoist temple and a merit list on the wall. Those who have saved money can choose not to be on the list. At that time, we will also invite a calligrapher and the best master to engrave characters. According to the amount of money, the number will be increased. At least the name should be engraved, and the name should be gilded..."

"We also need to choose a resounding name. The first one on the list is called the Golden Merit Alliance, and the second one is called the Silver Merit Alliance... The names are from big to small, from high to low. The first one should be as big as possible. Every pilgrim comes in and out. Everyone can see it..."

Abbot Chenzhu understood what Chu Qiguang meant as soon as he heard it, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Wonderful."

At this time, Chu Qiguang didn't mention any interest, because he had discovered through research in the past few days that with the level of superstition in this world, as long as you think of a good name, there is no temptation to gather a sum of money like this without the temptation of interest.

Chu Qiguang thought in his mind: ‘There is no need to pay interest at all! ’

Because most wealthy households make money... apart from practicing martial arts, they don't have many investment channels. And not everyone has the talent for martial arts and is willing to take the risk of becoming a demon and practice bravely.

And if money is stored in a bank, management fees will be charged. If a Taoist temple is safer and does not require management fees, and can have a name on the blessing and merit list, then it will definitely be more attractive.

Moreover, many wealthy families in Qingyang County have just enriched their money through house raids. It is a time when there is so much money that there is no place to spend it.

So Chu Qiguang felt that the interest trick could be used next time when he gathered money.

Next, Chu Qiguang contributed 3,000 taels of silver, and the Wu family and Taoist temple each contributed 10,000 taels of silver. They agreed to build a merit bank together and absorb the deposits of the major tycoons and squires in Qingyang County.

Because both the Wu family and the Taoist temple were worried about the other party spending the money carelessly, and they also believed in Chu Qiguang's ability, they agreed that the money could only be managed by Chu Qiguang and could only operate the textile business.

It has been agreed that Chu Qiguang will share 20% of the money earned in the future, and the remaining Wu family and Taoist temple will each share half.

As a result, Chu Qiguang's money suddenly shrank to 4,600 taels.

There is no need for contracts in this era. All terms ultimately depend on the strength, status and capabilities of the three parties.

Although the merit library has not yet been officially launched, and although the money-making business has not yet begun, it is already visible that it is prospering, and Chu Qiguang has not given up on his own martial arts and Taoist training.

It's just that in the fourth realm of Taoism, it's not that simple to improve again. This kind of spiritual breakthrough is so mysterious that there is no reason to explain it. All Chu Qiguang can do now is to insist on daily meditation, and to take advantage of every attack. The process of treatment can gradually improve your spiritual state.

After entering the fourth realm of martial arts, one must continue to hone the sensitivity of one's own Qi and blood, and try to use the power of one's own Qi and blood to support the brain. Because the human brain is too complex, this is a very dangerous process, and one must be careful and walk on thin ice. .

When you can successfully get more qi and blood to support your brain, you will enter the fifth realm - the transformation of qi and blood into spirit.

In addition to practicing martial arts and Taoism, what Chu Qiguang also has to do every day is to meditate on the Sutra of King Sumeru.

Through this kind of understanding, he can directly improve his physical fitness and heat resistance every day, and increase the upper limit of the burst of qi and blood day by day, allowing Chu Qiguang to have stronger explosive power than the fourth realm warriors of the same level.

…

After discussing business matters with Abbot Chenzhu that day, Chu Qiguang asked him about the pills. by

With his current relationship with Chen Zhu, he was able to buy more elixirs. He even asked if Fu Lu could be purchased, but was rejected by the other party.

Abbot Chenzhu said: "I have some Qibao Pills you asked about last time. They are only five hundred taels each. Are you sure you want to use them?"

Qibao Pill is made from seven kinds of precious medicinal materials, which can temporarily increase the speed of the brain, making people smarter and more understanding within an hour.

Of course, because it is related to the brain, the impact of erysipelas is more serious. For ordinary people, one pill every seven days is the limit. It is usually used by practitioners when they are making a critical breakthrough.

Of course, if it can be used every day like Chu Qiguang, it will definitely improve the efficiency of practicing martial arts and attacking the fifth realm.

Abbot Chenzhu said: "Not many people use this product. They can only take one pill in seven days at most. I only have three pills in stock on hand."

Chu Qiguang bought all three pills directly, and hoped that Abbot Chenzhu could buy some more Qibao Pills from the Tianshi Sect, and he would buy them again.

Abbot Chenzhu suspected that Chu Qiguang was secretly selling medicine to others as a second-rate dealer, but now that he and Chu Qiguang had common interests and had a good relationship, it didn't matter, and he promised to get some more Qibao Pills for Chu Qiguang.

Then Chu Qiguang took the medicine home and started eating it, and his money shrank again, to 3,100 taels. Although it seems like a lot, it won't seem like much if Chu Qiguang wants to buy Qibao Pills again or use it as working capital for the textile business.

In the small courtyard room, after taking the Qibao Pill, Chu Qiguang immediately felt that his brain was clearer than ever before. He took the time to practice martial arts and tried to control the flow of Qi and blood to the brain.

An hour later, the effect of the first Qibao Pill wore off, but Chu Qiguang felt that his progress in this hour was worth more than a day of hard training.

"The medicine is good, but it's too expensive. According to Qiao Zhi's estimation, with my qualifications and cultivation status, it will take at least a year of hard work to break through to the fifth realm."

"But if you keep taking Qibao Pills, there will be more than 300 Qibao Pills. It will take more than 300 hours, that is, 25 days to break through to the fifth realm, but this will cost 150,000 taels of silver."

"This price/performance ratio is too low. No one but me can eat like this."

Thinking that Abbot Chentian only took out three Qibao Pills in his hand, Chu Qiguang thought again: "And even if I have money, there is no way for me to buy more than 300 Qibao Pills."

"Alas, power, wealth, force...all are still not enough."

However, even if Chu Qiguang's current strength in the Four Realms of Cultivation and the Fourth Realm of Martial Arts is far enough, he will be able to take the martial arts exam in two months and become a martial arts student.

Chu Qiguang thought that only by successfully completing the textile export business would he be able to continue to enjoy a life of taking drugs every day.

But now the most important hydraulic textile machine has been researched by craftsmen working overtime. Chu Qiguang has also arranged other details with the Wu family and the Taoist Temple. Before the entire project is launched... he does not need to do much work himself.

‘It’s time to visit the ruins, pay homage to Ergou’s father and brother, and completely calm down the mental impact. ’

While thinking about it, Chu Qiguang threw the second Qibao Pill into his mouth.
