Chapter 71 Conference Preparation
Fangmu Mountain, Treasure House. Google search reading
Compared to before, the Treasure House is less popular, obviously because of the foundation building conference, many people from the Lin family went to Xing County to visit the city.
However, the decoration of the Treasure House seems to have been adjusted, and it looks more magnificent.
Of course, the formation has become more complicated.
It is obvious that the second uncle has improved the formation of the Treasure House.
The person in charge of guarding the building has been replaced by another uncle of the later generation, the twenty-eighth uncle Lin Houyou, who is also a formation master, but he is a second-level middle-grade, and his attainments are still a certain distance away from the second uncle Lin Houshou.
Lin Shiming received his salary as usual, and at the same time, he also checked whether there were any good treasures in the Treasure House.
Having made several contributions before, Lin Shiming still had 7,000 or 8,000 contribution points at this time.
However, after Lin Shiming looked around, there were fewer spiritual materials, and the second-level upper-grade Tianmu Heart that he was concerned about was also missing.
As for changing the best magic weapon, there was no need for that.
Lin Shiming didn't get any treasures in the end, but got three thousand spirit stones instead.
"Shiming, you can go to the auction in Xing County of your family. There are still many treasures. You may be able to get some in advance before the auction starts." Seeing Lin Shiming's disappointment, Lin Houyou couldn't help but remind him.
Lin Shiming nodded, then said goodbye to Lin Houyou and flew towards Xing County on his sword.
Xing County Market was built in the depths of a bamboo forest between two hills. The bamboo here is known for its hardness and is also called iron bamboo.
The leaves of the iron bamboo are extremely dense and the branches are tall. From a distance, it adds a sense of tranquility and mystery to the market.
The bamboo forest formation that is usually closed is now open, and many Qi training practitioners are walking along the bamboo forest path towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
Lin Shiming also landed from the flying sword and walked towards Xing County Market.
Soon, they found forty or fifty houses deep in the bamboo forest, among which more than a dozen houses were newly built for the foundation building conference.
You should know that the Xingxian market was originally a Qi training market. Without the presence of foundation building cultivators, many weapon training masters and alchemy masters among the casual cultivators did not dare to come, for fear of encountering evil cultivators who would rob the market.
The foundation building conference is generally divided into three processes: celebration, preaching, and auction!
One month before the celebration, the rental fee for the stalls will be waived, and the rent of the shops will also be reduced.
So Lin Shiming saw a lot of stalls along the way, and even the commercial street was crowded with people.
Lin Shiming went straight through the main street and came to the second-floor auction building of the Lin family.
His father and even the old clan leader Lin Xianzhi were here.
Lin Houyuan was dressed quite festively today, and the old clan leader next to him was still wearing the blue Taoist robe of the Lin family.
"Meet the seventh uncle, father! All the elders." Lin Shiming stepped forward and bowed to greet.
After asking, Lin Shiming stood aside and listened quietly to the arrangements made by the fifth elder Lin Yuzheng.
From the fruit plates and drinks for the celebration to the auction items for the auction, they were all reported in detail.
This time, the purpose was to improve the family's finances and increase the popularity of Xingxian Market, so every process was very cautious and no ambiguity was allowed.
Otherwise, being targeted by the Huangyunshan Li family would cause a greater and greater impact. By then, it is estimated that there would be many more people like Lin Shimo.
Lin Yuzheng is worthy of being the elder of the Lin family's business team. Some of his business strategies made Lin Shiming very impressed.
In particular, one of the strategies aimed at the late-stage Qi training cultivators and Qi training families took advantage of these cultivators' desire to reduce the shop rent and proposed to take out the top ten auction items to waive the shop rent for ten years.
The shop rent for ten years is at least thousands of spirit stones, which is equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon.
Therefore, this time, the Lin family only had 20 items for auction, while the items auctioned by the independent cultivators and Qi training families were 30. Moreover, when the foundation building families came, some foundation building cultivators would also have items for auction.
After all the arrangements, Lin Shiming also gained a lot.
"Shiming, do you think there is anything to add?" Lin Xianzhi nodded, and was also satisfied, but when he saw Lin Shiming next to him, he couldn't help asking.
"Seventh uncle, Shiming thinks that we can auction a newly produced third-level magic weapon." Lin Shiming suggested after thinking about it.
"Oh?" When Lin Xianzhi heard Lin Shiming mention the third-level magic weapon, he looked at Lin Shiming with some curiosity.
The other elders were also shocked, especially Lin Yutie, because he had just refined a third-level magic sword not long ago, and it was him who was the third-level weapon refiner of the Lin family.
But it was shocking for a Qi training cultivator to refine a third-level magic weapon. If it was spread out, it would be like putting the Lin family in a fire pit.
Lin Houyuan was also a little puzzled at this moment, looking at his son.
Lin Shiming did not rush to speak, but looked at the old patriarch, and then looked at the nearby.
"Don't worry, we have set up a third-level soundproof formation, and with Uncle Qi here, even the foundation-building cultivators can't eavesdrop!" The eighth elder Lin Houshou next to him answered Lin Shiming.
Lin Xianzhi also nodded at Lin Shiming, asking him to continue.
"Seventh uncle, there are two points for auctioning third-level magic tools. First, Shiming thinks that Xingxian Market is better than Qingyun Market. A big reason is that there are no foundation-building cultivators and third-level magic tools. In a place without third-level magic tools, casual cultivators naturally won't think that there are cost-effective second-level top-grade magic tools. At the same time, the market needs to be bigger. If there are casual foundation-building cultivators to buy, the profit of spirit stones will naturally be more considerable."
"Secondly, the third-level magic weapon will naturally be sold in the name of my father. If someone from the Qian family comes, we can test whether the Qian family has discovered the secret of the Huang family!"
This is also the most important point. After Lin Shiming finished speaking, all the elders fell into deep thought.
Then they all began to agree.
Indeed, the reason why the Lin family is walking on thin ice now is the secret of the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion. If this matter is leaked, the Lin family will no longer have any support, and even the Qingxuan Sect will ask the Lin family for responsibility.
Now it is the best move to test it with the detailed explanation of the formation weapon.
Moreover, Lin Houyuan broke through the foundation building. He was also a second-level middle-grade weapon refiner before. It is natural that there is no problem for him to play the role of a third-level weapon refiner.
"Okay, do as Shiming said!" Lin Xianzhi finally made the decision and sat down to decide.
After the meeting, the fourth elder Lin Yutie and the fifth elder Lin Yuzheng were responsible for arranging the auction, the sixth elder Lin Houyong was responsible for receiving the major foundation building cultivators, and the seventh elder Lin Houyong was responsible for the arrangement of the family celebration and preaching.
The eighth elder Lin Houshou was responsible for the safety of the market and checked the normal operation of the major formations.
Lin Shiming walked towards the fifth elder Lin Yuzheng to see if there was any treasure suitable for him.
Especially the precious Tianmu Heart. After experiencing the benefits of the Tianmu Spiritual Secret Method, Lin Shiming is now particularly eager for a higher level Tianmu Heart.
