Chapter 201
201 Making a move on the mine vein
[ liaojun sea route ]
[ profit: 459 spirit stones/year (average estimated value) ]
……
After the route was built, Lu Qing could already see the specific profits of the route to Liao County from the column of Chambers of Commerce in the industry.
This income level was only slightly worse than a three-star resource.
It was no wonder that when he made Husheng Merchant House give up the entire North Sea route, it made them feel as if they had killed their own father.
The 659 spiritual stones that the Lu clan earned in a year was only 40% of the total revenue of the liaojin trade route. Sixty percent was in the hands of the hai family.
Calculating this way, the guangliao Prefecture route would earn an average of 1000 plus a year.
On the other hand, the Liaojiang sea route was not as large as the Jinan one. After all, the profits from the sea route to Liao County had a lot to do with the gong Sun family. At most, the profits would only reach Yuyang County, which was in the West of Liao County. As for the Jinan sea route, it could directly connect to the richest of the four counties of Xue province, the Jinan County. The White sun sect was even stronger than the gong sun clan. At the same time, the qingyou Valley of Jibei County was also within the range of the Jinan sea route.
If the Husheng trading company gave up all of the two North Sea routes, that would be a profit of three thousand spiritual stones a year. Even for a behemoth like the Qingfeng sect, losing so much money on average every year was quite uncomfortable.
Perhaps, after going through so much trouble and such a long time, it didn’t seem worth it to earn this little money.
But that wasn’t the case.
This matter had a rather significant meaning within the sect. It was because the Lu clan had begun to truly participate in the sect’s Affairs. Although the Lu family’s power was still behind the hai family’s in the sect, they had already begun to show their influence. Moreover, the Lu family was different from the hai family and the Zhao family. These two families were both powerful within their sects. The strength of the main family outside was far inferior to that of the sect.
As for the Lu clan, they were a classic example of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Their influence in the sect was relatively weak, and their greatest reliance was Li Yanling. They also had two identities, such as Lu Wenen, who had yet to mature.
However, there was an advantage to being strong on the outside and weak on the inside. It meant that the support outside the sect would be greater.
In fact, the Lu family in the sect was already in its embryonic form. A group that still seemed relatively weak had already formed. It was made up of some of Lu Wenen’s friends, including some foundation building cultivators. In addition, Lu chaoxi had spent more time with his wife in the sect over the past few years. He had also befriended other initial enlightenment cultivators.
For the time being, such a connection did not seem very close. However, as their relationship grew better in the future and the Lu family’s influence in the sect grew, this group would flourish and develop.
This would be the future pillar of support for the Lu family in the sect.
The profits of this route were not just four hundred spirit stones a year. The Lu family and the Gongsun family were in-laws, and because of the existence of this sea route, they were even closer to each other. This would have a very positive impact on their alliance. In addition, this sea route was not as simple as just connecting to Liao County.
After all, apart from the ‘channel’, the’ supply ‘was also the key in trade.
The scale of the Jinan voyage was large now, but it did not mean that it would always be so large in the future. The Lu family and the hai family controlled the liaozhou trade route that was originally Husheng trading company’s. They even obtained the right to use several airboats that used to run this route, which was equivalent to controlling the channel. This channel belonged exclusively to the Lu and hai families. As the local tyrants of anling Prefecture and Donghai Prefecture, it was self-evident where they would prioritize in terms of supply.
The goods on the Jinan sea route had decreased while the goods on the Liao County sea route had increased. It was hard to say which route would become more important in the future.
At least, in the judgment of the people in charge of the Lu and hai merchant associations, they believed that the scale of the Liao County sea route would expand in the future and the profits wouldn’t just be this.
Speaking of which, four hundred spirit stones a year was quite a lot of money. This was the estimated average profit per year. A business that could produce less than half a foundation building pill in ten years was already a very good business.
……
Two years passed by quickly. Lu chaoxi returned to the clan.
His wife could now be considered to have stabilized her golden elixir realm. In the future, she would have to concentrate on her cultivation and start accumulating her strength to break through to a higher level.
As for himself, he overtook Ming Chao again and became a cultivator at the third level of the initial enlightenment realm.
Actually, he was already at the third level of the initial enlightenment stage a year ago.
Thanks to his wife, Lu chaoxi was able to use the level five spirit vein at the xuanqing peak to cultivate when he was in the sect.
An initial enlightenment cultivator could not make good use of the effects of a level five spiritual heritage, but it was undoubtedly better than a level three spiritual heritage.
However, a golden or silver nest was not as good as his own dog’s nest. According to Lu chaoxi himself, he still felt more comfortable staying on Yuyan mountain.
Lu chaoxi had returned with Li Yanling.
A golden core cultivator would not be able to cultivate properly on Yuyan mountain. Without the support of a level four spirit Meridian to refine her true essence, she would need to spend ten thousand spirit stones on cultivation in a year.
Who could withstand this?
This was also the reason why the more powerful a cultivator was, the more otaku they would be.
It was too expensive to go out.
However, the matriarch of the Lu family had reached the Golden core stage, so she had to go home to visit her. Even if the Lu family had to squeeze out a thousand or two Spirit stones for her to stay at home for two months, they had to.
Moreover, how could Lu Qing be the kind of person who would suffer a loss for nothing?
This time, he had called Li Yanling back, so he definitely had something for her to do … Even if it was nothing, he had to create something for her!
Lu Qing sent a voice transmission to Lu Chaohe.
After Lu Chaohe met in his father’s quiet room, he immediately found out that his eldest brother and his ninth Sister, sister-in-law Qianqian, had been invited by his eldest brother. He was still a little shy and did not dare to look for them.
“Why did you call us over in such a hurry?”
“Father said that in four days, something big might happen in the family’s energy stone mine. He told us to make preparations in advance and even asked me to set up some formations.”
“Something big happened?” Lu chaoxi appeared a little puzzled.
After he returned to the clan, he did not forget his duty as the clan leader. He had been away for two to three years, so he had to make an inspection when he returned. It was not easy to go to places that were too far away. He had to take a look at the energy stone mine vein at the foot of Yuyan mountain.
Back then, Lu chaoxi did not notice any problems.
senior Lu, please. Li Yanling hesitated for a moment before changing the way she addressed Lu Chaohe, ” father wouldn’t do something like this for no reason. Chaohe, go and set up the array first. In two days, the three of us will also go over.
“Alright,” he said.
……
Three days later, Lu Qing flew to the energy stone mine in the form of his consciousness.
Lu Chaohe had already set up a few formations. More than ten Lu clan cultivators, including the foundation building cultivators from Yuyan mountain, such as xueting, tingchou, Jinchao, and Weiwen, as well as Lu chaoxi, mingchao, and Li Yanling, were already here.
They hadn’t discovered anything strange and were still confused.
Of course, they could not discover anything. After all, Lu Qing had not used the [ resource upgrade ] exchange option yet.
