A few days later, Zhou Cheng and others found out the evidence of the Ling family colluding with pirates, which was difficult to publicly publish.

In the capital of Zhubu King, the Ling family lives in the south of Zhubu Kingdom, the Ling family fiefdom, Hongdu Port where Gui'anyuan is located, and other places, each of them led a team from Xuan Xinfeng to break in, and at the same time subdued the direct line of this family.

The head of the Ling family felt very bad since his second brother left and didn't return, but his ancestors were all on the shore and there was no way out and he had to surrender.

At the time of the favorite concubine, Mrs. Ling, a team of soldiers wearing strong and holding sharp swords rushed in and controlled the screaming palace maid.

"Empress, please go on the road."

An eunuch walked in with a porcelain bottle in an exquisite jade plate and said to Mrs. Ling.

Mrs. Ling was extremely furious: "Bold, what do you want to do? I want to see the king!"

The eunuch looked bitter: "The king is sick and doesn't want to see anyone."

"I don't believe that you guys who are bold and arrogant must be falsely passing on the king's order!" She said, and wanted to push the other party away and rush out of the palace.

The eunuch quickly protected the bottle on the plate and said in a sharp voice: "Come here, please feed the lady the medicine!"

The family's situation was hopeless. The favorite concubine was a mortal again. She had no personal strength. She was quickly fed to pills and collapsed softly.

Deep in the palace, the king of Zhubu Kingdom soon learned the result and sat on a chair, unable to speak for a long time.

Although this old king is old, he is still clear in front of the foundation of the country and the beauty. Even if he is not clear, his children who can inherit the throne will not sit idly by and take the foundation of his ancestors to the Ling family to be buried with him.

The news spread quickly, and for a moment, the Zhubuguo was shocked.

But no one dares to jump out and make trouble in a short period of time.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Xuan Xinfeng's men joining in revenge, and they are ashamed of Xue Zhoucheng before he was captured.

Xuan Xin Peak is still very intimidating.

Even if you don’t mention Xuan Xin Peak’s name, there are a total of six Qi Refining Cultivators in this area, two of whom have official positions, four of them are in the wild, and the Beixiao Islands are heard that there are foundation-building care, so they should not be underestimated.

It can only be considered as the Ling family's own unlucky and hit the knife.

From beginning to end, neither Li Zhen nor Mu Qingsi came forward, but instead became the agent.

Zhou Cheng also knew that as a foundation-building, his junior brother looked down on these ordinary industries close to the world. He had to take care of himself and his fellow disciples, and he did not be polite to him. He included all the shops, manors and industries in various places in one go.

But there is no need to report to Li Zhen in terms of details, but he still needs to be listened to at the big strategic level.

In the royal capital, in a temporary guild hall, Zhou Cheng informed Li Cha to tell Li Jian about the result of dealing with the Ling family, and couldn't help but sigh: "This time, the wall is really falling and everyone pushes it."

"Why did Senior Brother Zhou say this?" Li Qi asked.

Zhou Chengdao: "Originally, we showed evidence that the Ling family colluded with pirates, but no one believed it yet, but as soon as Ling Jinfeng and several corpses brought it, the other families immediately raised their flags to respond and help us eliminate the power of the Ling family."

Li Qi smiled and said, "Of course, whether the Ling family colluded with pirates is just a great title. If you want them to participate in the action, you can only be profitable or go with the flow.

There is no need to expect them to put in any great effort, at most they can only put in the wrong."

Zhou Chengdao: "Even if we take advantage of the situation, we have indeed helped a lot. Otherwise, our foundation in Zhubu is not solid enough and we will not be able to deal with the Ling family forces scattered in all parties.

By the way, we have a few of us who have decided to think that if our fellow disciples divide the Ling family's power into their own pockets, they would be a little too petty. If the accounts are not clear, they will cause trouble for future generations for no reason.

We might as well follow the local customs and form a new business in accordance with the rules here, and hiring it to the local business alliance. It can be considered as a formal membership. Maybe we can get some positions in the chamber of commerce in charge of the business, and use their resources based on our capital."

"Oh?" Li Zhen smiled, "Do you want to try the development route of the Money Avenue and manage your own power here?"

"It won't work if you don't do this." Zhou Cheng was a little scared. "We are the Qi-refining cultivators who are immortal masters in the eyes of mortals, but in the eyes of real cultivators, they are nothing. They are weak and are still too passive."

Li Qi said: "It's good. Although the Immortal Sect doesn't like these business matters, if you have immortality and no hope, it's also great to be here."

Zhou Chengdao: "We can handle the matter of joining the association ourselves. I have inquired about the rules of the chamber of commerce to bring capital to shareholding and to plan major issues together, but in fact it is still the same as the princes' separatist system.

Zhubu has its own business district in Zhubu, and the above clubs can't take care of it. At best, it's just guiding the general direction. In this way, if we want to gain a position in charge, as long as we have enough assets to control the situation here.

After all the calculations, you still have to run this business well and win in the business path.”

He also said: "In essence, this business was seized by junior brothers from the Ling family. You account for 70% of the shares. If we start the business, we will account for 30%.

The name of the Ling family is the shell of the Wangyue Trading Company. I don’t even need to change the name, which is in line with the name of Yaowangyuesha Island. However, the business scope is all about some seafood and rare treasures. It is not too Fu and Junior Brother. You just need to invest a capital to transform it."

Li Qi said: "It doesn't matter. In the future, I will send some incense shop managers who master the manufacturing process of Xinling incense, and give priority to supplying you some useful incense products. If you make a name for yourself, you will naturally have a lot of money."

The two discussed it and planned to transform it into a business force specializing in various scents and spiritual fragrances.

The big bosses on the surface are Zhou Cheng and Yi Yi. Several of the senior brothers have their own ties, which can be regarded as supporting them to grow up here and establish a noble family. In the future, they can become a powerful man and take care of their own Yuesha Island.

Li Zhen didn't worry too much about these things. It was not until he finally summed up that he learned that he had squeezed out more than 1.6 million talismans of cash flow from the Ling family's assets.

As expected, he is a powerful family who can afford to support Qi Refining and worship. The ancestor who created the family business was Qi Refining Cultivator. After accumulating for many generations, the cash exceeded the full wealth of many grass-roots cultivators.

At this time, Zhou Cheng talked about another important thing.

"By the way, Junior Brother Li, have you ever heard that Manager Yuan, who is in charge here, intends to auction the magical weapons and treasure ships he has obtained recently in order to share with the masters involved in the killing of pirates."

Li Zhen said: "I heard of it, but I don't know the specific situation yet."

Zhou Chengdao: "Then let me talk about it. This kind of magic weapon treasure ship is indeed a ship with the ability to go to sea. If it can be added as an asset of the business, it will also have the ability to navigate to the Beixiao Islands, which will be of great benefit to the development."

Li Qi was slightly surprised and immediately thought: "Senior Brother Zhou, what you said is very true. So you have been concerned about this information recently, so I will ask."

Zhou Chengdao: "I think most of the big forces here have treasure ships. The word "Sea Meeting in Four Seas" was originally based on the sea."

After Li Zhen returned, he told Mu Qingsi about the matter, and Mu Qingsi also agreed very much.

But the problem also arises. They really don’t have a more in-depth and detailed understanding. The matters of maritime business still depend on the people on the road of money.

"Ask Sister Yuxian." Mu Qingsi reminded, "No need to say more, she must be an expert in this field."

Li Zhen then took out the talisman to contact him.

"You want to buy a sea boat?" Shang Yuxian started to murmur when he heard this, "Why did you go to Zhubu Country and make a fortune?"

"This matter is hard to describe. Simply put, it is to find out that the local tyrants colluded with pirates to plot against my senior brother, and took the opportunity to deal with them..." Li Zhen briefly explained. Of course, he would not disclose more things, and there is no need to let Shang Yuxian know about it for the time being.

Shang Yuxian said: "When it comes to sea boats, we have to distinguish between ordinary sea boats and treasure ships above magical tools. I believe you know this distinction between Fellow Daoist Li, right?"

Li Qi said: "A little bit of knowledge, also known as the sea ship, built with the power of secular dynasties, has extremely weak navigation ability on the sea. At best, it is just to pass near the sea, within and outside the sea."

Shang Yuxian said: "No, because the weather in the sea is changing and there are many demon cultivators. The sea tribes are rampant, and there are huge monsters that are more than ten feet long and dozens of feet long. However, their intelligence is extremely low and they will treat ships as similar or food. Ordinary ships are just impossible to withstand the tossing. Only those with magic weapons or above can meet the most basic voyage conditions.

The top-grade magic weapons are divided into ships, warships, and fairy boats...

Only real shipbuilders dare to know the specific classification and specialized knowledge."

Li Qi nodded secretly while listening to Shang Yuxian's story.

Boats and ships are important tools of the Chamber of Commerce and must be observed.

Those who can make flying boats are called shipbuilders, from ordinary people to monks and masters, all of them have extraordinary treatment.

Shang Yuxian said again: "...Their essence is a large magic weapon.

The value of ordinary magic weapons ranges from tens of thousands, which is roughly equivalent to one or several low-grade spiritual materials. However, this type of treasure hull is huge in size and should be the same as those buildings and treasure pavilions. Therefore, the materials used and the difficulty of hosting construction have been greatly increased, with a value of at least tens of thousands of yuan. The more valuable ones can even compare with real magic weapons, which is as high as two or three million!

The reason why the gap is so huge is that the materials used and the construction specifications are different.

Putting aside these things for now, just talking about the treasure ships you are about to auction, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be whale-level magic weapon-level treasure ships, and they are also the most common kind of long-distance sailing ships..."

"Whale level?"

"Yes, this kind of magic weapon treasure ship is divided into whale level on the sea, which means a ship about ten feet tall and small, which is about ten feet tall, and is higher than one hundred feet tall. Because there are giant beasts in the sea, it is called Zunhuang, also known as Trout and Sea Emperor, and further up is Kun level, that is a super giant treasure ship that reaches more than one thousand feet tall."

Li Qi said: "So that's it. Why do I often hear the saying of a certain flying boat? By the way, most of the flying boats that come and go on Beixiao Island are flying boats? I think they are more than 100 meters tall, so they should all belong to this category, right?"

Shang Yuxian smiled and said, "You have grasped the key points. Yes, this is just divided according to body shape. There is another common method of distinction that is functional. It is roughly divided into three types: sea boats, flying boats and fairy boats. Most of the ones that are passed on Beixiao Island are 风-class flying boats. My Shang family owns a private flying boat, which is also a treasure for the suppression of luck within the clan. However, I have not been guarding here in recent years. If you have the opportunity, please go up and visit."

Li Qi said in confusion: "Sea boat, flying boat...the fairy boat...I can guess roughly that the sea boat can only float on the water. The flying boat already has the ability to fly, and at least it must be owned by a giant magic weapon. But what does the fairy boat mean?"

Shang Yuxian said: "The immortal boat is a treasure that can travel through the void, and can move divine movements everywhere and quickly travel! It can even accumulate itself in the cave and form its own pattern, and generally it is a treasure that has been created for more than a thousand years!

The value of this kind of thing is actually close to the magic weapon held by some Nascent Soul masters, which can suppress the luck of a sect. The cost is uncountable, and it cannot be calculated casually, and there has never been a record of transactions."

Li Zhen knew it: "Okay, what I'm asking now seems to be just an ordinary whale-class sea boat. Logically speaking, hundreds of thousands of dollars should be taken, right?"

Shang Yuxian said: "I asked just now and happened to know a little about the market. The ships used by pirates under Lian Li were basically plundered, or the old ships purchased from the black market were worth between 300,000 and 500,000, but they only took out five ships for auction. The more powerful people wanted to buy ships, they probably had to prepare 200,000 or 300,000 more for auction.

Moreover, things like ships cannot be bought and used as ordinary treasures. Repairing ships and daily maintenance is also expensive. Fellow Daoist Li, it is best not to pinch 500,000 yuan per ship to calculate, at least one million yuan per ship.”

This is a real point. Buying a boat is not just for watching. The biggest difference between it and other magical tools is that it has to be used!

Li Zhen responded happily: "Thank you for reminding me, I will think clearly."

After some inquiries, Li Zhen also roughly confirmed that the unexpected talisman money obtained from this trip to Zhubu Kingdom included two pirates' nests and shore assets, totaling about two million talisman money. After deducting the extra expenses and preparation costs, he could only support two or three boats.

This also shows the risk of becoming a ship owner - it is close to 500,000 talismans to buy a ship, equipped with weapons and fuel, recruit good sailors, monks, etc., and prepare a fund for future repair and maintenance, and then one million will be out.

But a strong storm came, and a little natural disaster caused, and it was wasted...

"Forget it, don't think about those unlucky ones. Just two, just two. Let's try it out first. Then consider adding money after making money."
