Chapter 102 Gu Material Reward, People from the Western Regions
The demise of Qingyu Sect in Shuzhong did not spread, and the incident in Lvmiao Village did not cause any changes. Only Xiao Lu, who was the envoy of Xuanwei, disappeared, which affected the interests of many people.
It was just that Xiao Lu's trip to Lvmiao Village was too secretive, and no one knew about it. It was not open to the public, so there was not much clue to investigate.
As a dormant hidden sect, the death was also silent, not earth-shattering.
On the contrary, the demise of Jianghu sects such as Sui Han Sanmen and Tianxia Wumai was big news. They originally made profits based on fighting for fame and fortune.
Lu Xingshi did not leave Shuzhong immediately, but sent a message to Murong Xuan through Tingfeng Pavilion, Langya Chamber of Commerce and other channels, asking him to help him purchase the materials needed for refining Gu. After he finished writing the material requirements, his eyes jumped.
According to the market price estimate, if you want to buy a top Gu worm material, you need at least 100,000 taels, mainly because it is precious and rare, and even many raw materials are not available even if you want to buy them.
Fortunately, with Lu Xingshi's ability to cheat, there is no need to worry about failure.
Yes, there is a chance that refining the Gu will fail. Otherwise, this "Spiritual Color Heavenly Marrow" does not require root bone comprehension. As long as you can endure the pain of transplanting the Gu worm and the discomfort during symbiosis, you can upgrade it by hanging up? It is precisely because krypton gold is needed to make up for it.
If you don't have enough resources, don't think about taking this path.
This is also a huge expense for the 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 court was only about 100 million taels at its peak.
It is precisely because of this that the 100,000 taels that Qingyu took is at most a hole.
This is also thanks to Cai Qiuhe's various policy improvements, otherwise under normal circumstances, such a high level would not appear at all.
So you can see how exaggerated it is that a piece of Gu worm material costs 100,000 taels.
However, if you find the corresponding supply channel and buy it from the production site, the cost will drop sharply.
The reason why it is so expensive is that it is purchased in the form of a bounty, so the price will be greatly overflowed.
There is an advantage to doing this, that is, the whole process will be very fast, and there is no need to worry about subsequent troubles.
People have already done the aftermath for you, and then sent it over. In essence, you are buying a service, and the materials are secondary.
After receiving Lu Xingshi's purchase list, Murong Xuan also went through it. The required expenditure is indeed very expensive, but he also issued the reward.
This reward quickly spread through Tingfeng Pavilion, Langya Chamber of Commerce and corresponding channels.
As for whether it will attract the attention of interested people, it will definitely, after all, this behavior is indeed too ostentatious.
Therefore, someone came to the door soon.
It's just that during the time when Lu Xingshi went to Shuzhong, Langya Pavilion and the original papermaking industry moved to Tongzhou.
After a period of investigation, Murong Xuan found that this was Lu Xingshi's rebellion base camp. Basically everyone knew about it, except Lu Xingshi.
"Boss, the goods are very genuine, and the young boss should be satisfied."
Several pharmacists who studied medicinal materials, cordyceps and other related things said to Murong Xuan.
When someone offers a reward, Murong Xuan must arrange for someone to inspect the goods. Otherwise, they would just pay for the goods, which range from tens of taels to tens of thousands of taels without even looking at them. Langya Chamber of Commerce is rich, but it is not a sucker.
"Yes, I didn't expect someone to come so soon. Let's calculate how much these are worth." Murong Xuan said to the accountant next to him.
"A total of 157,000 taels..." the accountant said.
"No need to say, it's 160,000 taels. Consider it as making friends with you." Murong Xuan directly rounded off the zero.
"If you have other materials that my apprentice needs, you can sell them together. My Langya Chamber of Commerce will take them all."
Murong Xuan saw the origins of these people. They should be from some place in the Western Regions.
"We have the things. I just want to ask, where did Mr. Lu get this prescription?" The leading woman said, with a black veil on the lower half of her face and a lot of accessories with some Western characteristics on her body.
"I don't know about this, but it may be from Qingyu Sect." Murong Xuan had no idea where this thing was picked up from. He could see that Lu Xingshi had a deep fortune and could pick up good things wherever he went.
The most outrageous thing was that this time, he picked up Tongzhou directly. It was beyond his expectation that he could pick up this.
So it was normal to pick up some messy things.
"Qingyu Sect?" The woman was a little confused. She had never heard of this sect.
This was normal. If everyone knew about the hidden sect, why would they hide in the world.
Most of those who knew about it were local people with high status in the martial arts world, and this woman and her followers were obviously not from the Central Plains, but from the Western Regions.
The martial arts world was popular in the Central Plains, but it was much less popular in the four directions.
However, this did not mean that there was no development of martial arts, but that it developed in other social structures.
"It was a hidden sect. This matter can be traced back to..." Murong Xuan could see that this Western woman was most likely because of the materials purchased by Lu Xingshi.
In addition, he had traveled to the Western Regions before, and it was obvious that many of Lu Xingshi's materials were from the Western Regions, so it was very likely that Lu Xingshi had picked up some of the other party's inheritance.
That's why this Western Region woman came to him.
"So Young Master Lu is in Qingyu Sect in Shuzhong now?" The Western Region woman frowned. She knew Shuzhong, but she didn't know where Qingyu Sect was located.
"He should be gone." Murong Xuan knew Lu Xingshi very well. They had been together for a long time. "If he can send a message back, it means that there is no one alive in 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 about this group of Western Region people plotting against Lu Xingshi? I'm afraid that every one of them will be exposed by Lu Xingshi.
He knew that Lu Xingshi went to Jiangnan to destroy the Qi Wang forces of Cai Qiuhe. He was not afraid of thousands of troops, so how could he be afraid of these Western Region people.
"Then how should I find Young Master Lu?" The Western Region woman asked further.
"Well, he is very fast, and you can't keep up with him."
"So I suggest you wait for him in the Qi Wang Mansion in Jiangnan." Murong Xuan thought about it and gave a solution.
"He's going to seek refuge with Qi Wang Cai Qiuhe?" This was the first thought that came to the mind of the Western Region woman.
"No, no, no, he's going to kill Cai Qiuhe." Murong Xuan said.
The Western Region is part of the Dasong territory, and it is the same as the original Saibei.
"Kill!" The Western Region woman was also shocked.
"Yes, so you wait there, and you will see Xingshi when he kills his way over."
"But you have to show that you are here to find him first. If you are late and he kills you by mistake, it will only be bad luck for you." Murong Xuan reminded.
If Lu Xingshi really wants to kill like crazy, he will include everyone he doesn't know in his attack range.
Murong Xuan has to run away. If he runs slowly, he won't die, but he will definitely be injured by mistake.
The Western Region woman thought Murong Xuan's statement was a bit absurd. She had heard of the reputation of the Golden Crow God General Lu Xingshi, but in her eyes it was more exaggerated. She had never really seen him, so she naturally didn't believe it.
Even if she didn't believe it, she wouldn't deliberately mock or question it. She didn't even look at where she was. How dare she deliberately belittle the other person's apprentice in his territory.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Murong. We are going to look for Young Master Lu. I wonder if Senior Murong has anything to tell us." The Western Region woman asked.
She didn't mean to be kind, but mainly wanted to put a tiger skin on herself and her people.
In case Lu Xingshi is really as scary as the rumors say, she can contact him more smoothly.
She can not believe it, but she can't be without corresponding preparations.
"I don't have anything to bring. If everything goes well, he should be able to come back next month."
"In fact, you can stay in Tongzhou for a while." Murong Xuan tried to keep her. He didn't know what sect these Western Region people belonged to, but their strength was pretty good.
"No, we have to go back to the Western Region after investigating 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 means. They didn't even belong to the court.
If I stay, I will probably be eaten to the bone.
"What a pity, I wish you all a safe journey."
"Also, you must go to Jiangnan quickly, otherwise you may miss Xingshi." Murong Xuan knew how efficient Lu Xingshi was.
If he was lucky, Cai Qiuhe and his Qi Wang forces would be destroyed in two hours at most. If he was unlucky, it would be terrible, and Lu Xingshi would kill them all. Not to mention leaving no one alive, he would shake the eggs in the kitchen to scatter the yolk, cut the earthworms in the soil vertically, and pour boiling water on the ant nests.
However, no matter how hard he killed, the total time would not exceed one day, so they could only meet Lu Xingshi that day. If they didn't meet him, they could only go back to Tongzhou to find Lu Xingshi.
"We understand, then we'll say goodbye first." The Western Region woman solemnly placed the silver note in her arms.
This is 160,000 taels. When in the Western Region, these things were indeed very precious, but they could only be sold for 50,000 taels at most, which was not so high at all.
This thing is also adapted to local conditions. It is precious because it is not available in the Central Plains and there is no channel to purchase it. It is only circulated in a small range in the Western Regions.
Of course, only Lu Xingshi purchased it in the Central Plains. Other forces may not want it even if it is 5,000, let alone 50,000. They don’t need it and can’t use it. Why spend such a high price to buy it? Don’t you think it’s too much money to burn?
So this thing is valuable only for Lu Xingshi or people who practice the "Spiritual Color Heavenly Marrow".
