Chapter 297 Black Stone Valley
Wang Hong and Gu Wei walked for more than ten days from the original five or six days' journey from Qingxuzong to Heishigu.
The two arrived outside Fangshi, and sent a message talisman to the elder brother who was stationed here.
Soon, a tall foundation-building monk flew out of Fangshi with his sword.
"Hahaha! Junior brother, congratulations on your successful foundation establishment!"
The tall and tall monk who established the foundation came up and gave Gu Wei a bear hug before turning around to look at Wang Hong.
"Are you Master's new fifth child?"
"Junior Brother Wang Hong, I have met Senior Brother!"
Luo Yuxuan and Wang Hong met for the first time, so they were naturally more polite.
"I am your big brother Luo Yuxuan, let's go, follow me in."
Luo Yuxuan's cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. According to Gu Wei, he has worshiped under Gu Qingyang's sect for more than a hundred years.
After Luo Yuxuan led Wang Hong and two people into Fangshi, they respectively placed a place with rich aura for them.
There is a medium-sized spiritual vein in the Black Stone Valley, which was discovered by a Jindan monk many years ago and took it as his own.
Then a square market was established here, and casual monks were constantly recruited to live here.
Casual cultivators can live and practice here by paying spirit stones, and they are backed by Jindan monks to ensure their safety.
After years of development, Black Stone Valley has become a gathering place for casual cultivators in the surrounding area, and several cultivating families have developed and settled here for a long time.
The owner of Blackstone Valley has changed several times over the years.
More than a hundred years ago, Gu Qingyang used two bottles of third-order elixirs to exchange the ownership of Black Stone Valley from a Jindan monk.
After more than a hundred years of operation, Gu Qingyang finally earned back the cost.
The income of Heishigufang City is mainly divided into two aspects, one is rent, including cave rental, shop rental, etc.
The other is the operating income of self-owned shops. The largest shop in the whole city is run by Gu Qingyang himself.
controls the entire market, so it stands to reason that the annual income is also quite a lot.
But this is only relative to Qi training and foundation building monks. For Jindan monks, the income from these low-grade spirit stones is of limited help to them.
After living here for a few days, Wang Hong has learned about the situation in Fang City, and at the same time discovered some hidden causes.
If these aspects can be improved, Fangshi's income should increase.
However, at present Fangshi is still run by Luo Yuxuan, he just arrived here, Luo Yuxuan has never asked his opinion, and the two of them are unfamiliar, if he asks some questions rashly, it will be annoying.
Wang Hong lived in Fangshi with peace of mind. In the first period of time, the heads of several local families in Heishi Valley would come to see him or have a banquet.
After all, they live in Gu Qingyang's territory, and Wang Hong is Gu Qingyang's disciple, so he naturally needs to curry favor.
After Wang Hong participated in several banquets, he hung up the sign of retreat and calmed down.
Gu Wei helped Luo Yuxuan manage some chores in the market, and he did it with gusto.
Several female nuns of the monk family intentionally or unintentionally create opportunities to get close to Gu Wei, and they don't know what their plans are.
Gu Wei used to be in the sect, and he often didn't even have anyone to talk to. He also has a hearty personality, so naturally he would not refuse anyone.
He chopped down a few first-order spirit trees from the space, and started practicing with the magic weapon.
First cut a small section from the spirit wood, light the spirit carbon, and move the spirit wood to the flame.
Spirit wood contains a variety of ingredients, and the temperatures at which various ingredients are refined by flames are different.
Using the Spirit Wood Refiner, the first thing is to take advantage of this, to refine some impurities, and finally only a few effective ingredients remain.
Then it is formed, and the remaining refined part after refining is made into a device, and finally the formation is carved.
What he refined this time was magic weapon arrows. Anyway, this kind of arrows are more refined, and they can also be reserved for the use of Qi training monks under him.
However, he still has a high failure rate in refining this relatively simple arrow.
He was not discouraged, so he continued to refine one by one. Anyway, he planted a large piece of first-order spiritual wood, which was completely enough for him.
It wasn't until a month later that he finally mastered the refining of magic weapon arrows.
Then continue to refine the magic weapon flying sword, still using spirit wood as the material, but it needs to add a small amount of auxiliary materials.
Three days later, the first flying sword was successfully refined, but it was only a low-grade magic weapon.
It took another month, and he had no problem refining the low-grade flying sword.
In the following days, Wang Hong was like this. Every day after practicing, he would refine weapons, and after refining weapons, he would enter the space and comprehend the jade slips exchanged from the sect.
In this way, a year passed quickly. After a year of hard work, he has mastered most of the refining methods of the magic weapon.
On this day, just after Wang Hong finished refining a magic weapon, he received a message talisman from Luo Yuxuan, and he immediately opened the cave.
Luo Yuxuan and Gu Wei came here hand in hand. After getting along for a year, Wang Hong and Luo Yuxuan became acquainted a lot. The three of them often get together to taste tea and drink wine.
After the three sat down in the living room, a lifelike maid puppet walked into the living room and brought three bottles of spirit wine for the three, and placed them on the three-person table.
"Junior Brother Wang really knows how to enjoy it!"
Luo Yuxuan looked at the maid puppet and sighed with envy and obscenity.
"I can also do some rough work. What enjoyment can I have? I bought it only because I saw its exquisite workmanship and looked like a real person. In fact, it is useless."
Wang Hong bought this puppet. He thought it was strange and wanted to study it carefully.
Who knows, he just took off his body, and this puppet seems to have lost its intelligence.
Behavior was uncharacteristic, making some strange noises, and making some very strange movements, which made him blush in fright.
It didn't return to normal until Wang Hong helped it put on clothes. Later, Wang Hong didn't dare to take off his clothes at will, and let him do some chores of serving tea and water.
He feels that a puppet is a puppet after all, with limited intelligence and prone to problems, and feels that he has been tricked by the shopkeeper of the puppet shop.
"Junior brother Wang, I heard from my junior brother that you are good at management, and you were once praised by your master.
I guard this Heishigufang City, and now my income is decreasing year by year. I don’t know if my junior has any good strategies? "
Luo Yuxuan asked after drinking a large mouthful of spirit wine.
In recent years, in order to escape the battle with the demon clan, many monks have hid in the deep mountains and old forests.
In addition to being recruited, there are fewer and fewer people in the square city. With fewer people, it is naturally difficult to do any business.
"The current situation is like this, almost every city will be less, so what can the younger brother do?"
