Chapter 102 Bounty for Gu materials, people from the Western Region
The destruction of Qingyu Sect in Shu did not spread, and the incident in Green Miao Village also caused some changes. Only Xiao Lu, who was the Xuanwei envoy, disappeared. It has affected the interests of many people.
It's just that Xiao Lu's trip to Lvmiao Village was too secretive, and no one knew about it. This itself was shady, so there weren't many clues to investigate.
As a hibernating and reclusive sect, death is quiet and not earth-shattering.
On the contrary, the destruction of prominent Jianghu sects such as Suihan Sanmen and Tianxia Wumai is the big news. People's way of making money is based on fighting for fame and fortune.
Lu Xingshi did not leave Shuzhong immediately. Instead, he sent a message to Murong Xuan through Tingfengting, Langya Chamber of Commerce and other channels, asking him to help him purchase the materials needed to refine Gu. After he finished writing the material requirements, he also looked out of the corner of his eye. Jump.
According to the price estimates on the market, if you want to buy a top-notch Gu insect material, you need at least one hundred thousand taels, which are mainly precious and rare. You can't even buy many raw materials if you want to.
Fortunately, with Lu Xingshi's ability to cheat, there is no need to worry about failure.
Yes, there is a probability of failure in refining the Gu. Otherwise, this "Lingcai Tianmui" does not require basic understanding. As long as you can endure the pain of transplanting the Gu and the discomfort during symbiosis, you can hang up and upgrade? It is precisely because krypton gold is needed to make up for it.
If you don’t have enough resources, don’t even think about taking this route.
This is also a huge expenditure for Langya Chamber of Commerce.
The profit of the Langya Chamber of Commerce last year was only about 10 million taels, and the treasury income of the entire Dasong Imperial Court was only around 100 million taels at its peak.
It is precisely because of this that the hundred thousand taels that Qingyu and his men took were nothing more than a hole.
This is thanks to Cai Qiuhe's various policy improvements, otherwise such a high level would not have been achieved under normal circumstances.
So it can be seen that one hundred thousand taels of Gu insect material is an exaggeration.
However, if you find the corresponding supply channel and purchase from the place of production, the cost will plummet.
The reason why it is so expensive is that it is purchased through a bounty, so the price will be very high.
One advantage of doing this is that the whole process will be very fast, and you don’t have to worry about subsequent troubles.
They have already dealt with the aftermath for you, and then they sent it over. Essentially, what you are buying is a service, and the materials are secondary.
After receiving Lu Xingshi's purchase list, Murong Xuan went through it and found that the expenditure required was indeed very expensive, but he also distributed the reward.
The reward spread quickly through Tingfengting, Langya Chamber of Commerce and corresponding channels.
As for whether it will attract the attention of interested people, it will definitely happen. After all, this behavior is indeed too ostentatious.
So people came to the door very quickly.
It was only during the time when Lu Xingshi went to central Shu that Langya Pavilion and the original papermaking industry moved to Tongzhou.
After investigating for a period of time, Murong Xuan discovered that this was Lu Xingshi's rebellion base. Basically everyone knew about it, except Lu Xingshi.
"My boss, the goods are very genuine, my young boss should be satisfied."
Several pharmacists who studied medicinal materials, cordyceps and other related things spoke to Murong Xuan.
Someone came to my door with a reward. Murong Xuan must have arranged for someone to inspect the goods. Otherwise, why would he just give money to each item without even looking at it? Langya Chamber of Commerce is rich, but it is not an easy target.
"Yes, I didn't expect someone to come to the door so soon. Calculate how much these are." Murong Xuan said to the accountant on the side.
"A total of 152,000 to 7,000..." Mr. Accountant said.
"Needless to say, it's only 160,000 taels. Think of it as making friends with a few of you." Murong Xuan directly wiped out the zero.
"If you have any other materials that my disciple needs, you can sell them together. We, Langya Merchant Guild, will accept them all."
Murong Xuan saw the origins of these people, they should be from some places in the Western Region.
"We have the stuff, but I just want to ask, where did Shaoxia Lu get this prescription?" A woman in the lead said. The lower half of her face was covered with a black veil, and she was wearing a large number of Western-style clothing. Unique jewelry.
"I don't know about this, but it's possible that I got it from Qingyu Sect." Murong Xuan didn't know where he picked this thing up. He could see that Lu Xingshi had a lot of luck and could pick up good things wherever he went. .
The most outrageous thing is that this time, he directly picked up Tongzhou. It was really beyond his expectation that he could pick up this.
So it's normal to pick up some random things.
"Qingyu Sect?" The woman was a little confused. She had never heard of this sect.
This is a normal situation. If everyone knows about the hidden sect, why are they still hiding in the world?
Most of the people who knew were local Jianghu people with high status, and this woman and her entourage were obviously not from the Central Plains and belonged to the Western Regions.
Jianghu culture is prevalent in the Central Plains, but much less common in the Quartet.
However, this does not mean that there is no development of martial arts, but the development of other social structures.
"It is a hidden sect. This matter has to be traced back to..." Murong Xuan could see that this woman from the Western Regions most likely came because of the materials purchased by Lu Xingshi. In addition, he has also traveled to the Western Regions, and it can be seen that many of Lu Xingshi's materials are from the Western Regions, so it is possible that Lu Xingshi picked up some of the other party's inheritance.
That's why this woman from the Western Region came to the door.
"So Lu Shaoxia is at the Qingyu Gate in Shuzhong now?" The woman from the Western Region frowned. She knew about Shuzhong, but she didn't know where the Qingyu Gate was located.
"Probably gone." Murong Xuan still knew Lu Xingshi very well and had known each other for a long time: "The fact that he can send a message back means that there is no one alive in the Qingyu Sect now."
"If you want to find him, you can go to Jiangnan and wait for him."
Murong Xuan still gave the other party a suggestion.
As for worrying that these people from the Western Regions are plotting against Lu Xingshi? Even if not all of them would be praised by Lu Xingshi.
He knew that Lu Xingshi went to Jiangnan to defeat Cai Qiuhe's Qi King's power. He was not afraid of thousands of troops, so how could he be afraid of these people from the Western Regions.
"Then how should I find Lu Shaoxia?" The woman from the Western Region asked further.
"Well, he's very fast, you can't keep up with him."
"So I suggest you just wait for him at Prince Qi's Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River." Murong Xuan thought for a while and came up with a solution.
"He is going to seek refuge with Qi King Cai Qiuhe?" This was the first thought that came to the mind of the woman from the Western Regions.
"No, no, no, he wants to kill Cai Qiuhe." Murong Xuan said.
The Western Region is part of the Dasong territory and has the same nature as the original Saibei.
"Kill!" The woman from the Western Region was also shocked.
"Yes, so you squat there and you can see Xingshi when he kills him all the way."
"But you have to declare that you are here to find him as soon as possible. If you are accidentally killed by him later, it will only be bad luck for you." Murong Xuan reminded.
Lu Xingshi really wanted to kill everyone, so anyone he didn't know would be included in the attack range.
Murong Xuan had to run away. If he ran too slowly, he wouldn't die, but he would definitely be accidentally injured.
The woman from the Western Region felt that Murong Xuan's statement was a bit absurd. She had heard about the reputation of the Golden Crow Divine General Lu Xingshi, but in her eyes it was more of an exaggeration. She had never really seen it, so naturally she didn't believe it.
Even if you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it, but you won’t deliberately ridicule or question it, and you don’t even look at where this place is. How dare you deliberately belittle the other party’s apprentice in someone else’s territory.
"Thank you Senior Murong for the reminder. We are going to look for Lu Shaoxia. I wonder if Senior Murong has anything to convey to us." The woman from the Western Region asked.
She didn't mean well, mainly because she wanted to put a layer of tiger skin on herself and others.
In case Lu Xingshi is really as scary as the rumors say, then he can get in touch with him more smoothly.
She doesn't have to believe it, but she can't be unprepared.
"I don't have anything to bring. If everything goes well, he should be able to come back next month."
"Actually, you can stay in Tongzhou for a while." Murong Xuan tried to persuade him. He wasn't sure what sect these Western Region people were from, but they were pretty good at it.
"No, we have to go back to the Western Region after we investigate the truth." The Western Region woman refused.
The atmosphere in Tongzhou made her feel uneasy. There were masters everywhere, and the people who ruled here were also a group of officials with iron-blooded methods. They didn't even belong to the imperial court.
If he stayed, he would probably be eaten to the point of losing his bones.
"It's a pity, so I wish you all a safe journey."
"Also, you must go to Jiangnan quickly, otherwise you may miss Xingshi." Murong Xuan knew the efficiency of Lu Xingshi's actions.
If you are lucky, Cai Qiuhe and his Qi King forces will be destroyed in at most two hours. If you are not lucky, it will be miserable. On behalf of Lu Xingshi, he will go on a killing spree, not to mention that there will be no chickens and dogs left, and all the eggs in the kitchen will be destroyed. After being shaken to pieces by him, the earthworms in the soil must be cut upright, and the ant nests must be killed by pouring boiling water on them.
However, no matter how ruthless the killing, the total time will not exceed one day, so they can only meet Lu Xingshi for that day. If they fail to meet him, they can only go back to Tongzhou to find Lu Xingshi.
"We understand, let's take our leave first." The woman from the Western Region solemnly placed the banknote in her arms.
This is 160,000 taels. When we were in the Western Region, although these things were very precious, they could only be sold for 50,000 taels at most, which was simply not that high.
This thing is also adapted to local conditions. It is precious because there are no acquisition channels in the Central Plains, and it is only spread in a small area in the Western Regions.
Of course, Lu Xingshi was the only one in the Central Plains to acquire it. Other forces, let alone 50,000, would not necessarily ask for 5,000. They would neither need nor use it, so why spend such a big price to buy it? They would panic because they thought it was too much money.
Therefore, this thing is valuable only for Lu Xingshi or those who also practice "Lingcai Tianmui".
