Zheng Ming nodded in agreement.
In fact, what he values most is that the production is less difficult and easier to learn.
Others, such as spirit wine, spirit tools, and spirit pills, are too difficult to make, and it is also difficult to learn, and the raw materials are more difficult to purchase.
For example, the Cheng family is mainly based on the elixir and elixir industry, but it took more than 100 years of accumulation for the Cheng family to master the industry of elixir and elixir.
Dali wants to enter other industries, but it is difficult to see results in a short period of time, and the Nine Realms of China is a land of spiritual barrenness, and it is impossible to cultivate spiritual plants and spiritual grasses.
On the contrary, it would be much simpler to make a talisman. You only need talisman paper, cinnabar, and spirit stones to make it.
However, talismans are easy to learn but hard to master, and the competition among shops is also fierce.
There are five talisman stores in Lingjiefang City, which shows how fierce the competition is.
Zheng Ming squeezed his chin and nodded, thought for a while and said, "Let the black unicorn get out all the books in the Cheng family."
He now wants to earn spirit stones, but spirit stones are not so easy to earn. First of all, all industries are controlled by the cultivating family, and he has neither resources nor background, so it is difficult to solve the predicament in front of him.
The only thing he can do now is to dig out the Cheng family's wealth, but the Cheng family's wealth is also very ordinary.
"Also, don't let the black unicorn stay in Cheng's house all the time. When you have nothing to do, go out and visit other cultivating families."
You can't just catch the sheep of the Cheng family to pluck the wool, and the other three families can't let it go either.It is not difficult to infiltrate other families with the ability of the black unicorn, and borrow some secret books of exercises.
Jinxian responded, and went to send a message to Yuhuatian.
And Zheng Ming sat in front of the window, watching the passers-by on the street outside the window, and drank Nanyuan craft wine.
Don't tell me, this wine is really good.
One mouthful into the throat, there is a feeling of soul and soul, soul-stirring.
After entering the belly, the rich fairy air continuously diffused throughout the body, as if moisturizing every cell in the body, making it extremely refreshing.
It seems that even his physical fitness has improved a little.
This spiritual wine can nourish the body and improve one's cultivation level a little. Although the effect is not very great, if it is drunk for a long time, it will be of great benefit to cultivation.
Moreover, the medicinal properties of spirit wine are very low, unlike spirit pills, which will affect the foundation of cultivation if consumed regularly.
"There is a reason why you are expensive!" Zheng Ming exclaimed.
After a while, Jinxian came back, and with him was Luan Shen.
"Greetings, Young Master!" Chaoshen said respectfully.
Zheng Ming saw him, his eyes lit up, and asked, "How?"
Luan Shen replied: "The largest island over there is called Qinglan Island, and it is a gathering place for casual cultivators."
"The gathering place for casual cultivators! Where are those casual cultivators doing?" Zheng Ming asked.
"Hunting monsters in the sea. Qinglan Island has no official government, and it is mainly a square market. Many cultivation families have set up shops in the market, mainly to buy monster corpses and some spiritual materials in the sea." Luan Shendao .
Zheng Ming pinched his chin and pondered.
Without a government, it means a place of chaos, which is a good place to go.
The corpses of monsters are also a kind of spiritual material. Many monsters are full of treasures, which contain a strong fairy spirit, which can be eaten, used for alchemy, and even used for refining weapons.
This means that there are financial resources, and if they can occupy Qinglan Island, it is equivalent to occupying a way to make money.
But monsters are not easy to mess with.
Monster beasts above the Cave God Realm already have intelligence no less than that of humans, and monsters at the Mystic-Through Realm can transform into human forms.
After all, the Demon Sea Territory is the domain of monsters in the sea. If they hunted too hard, those monsters would not be vegetarians.
It is not without reason that the Dasheng Dynasty did not set up a government on Qinglan Island, it must be because of monsters.
"Get ready, we will go to Qinglan Island tomorrow."
Zheng Ming said.
Although there are many troubles in Qinglan Island, there are also many benefits after occupying it.
Given the current situation, it is not easy for him to do things in the Dasheng Dynasty. It would be a good thing to occupy Qinglan Island first, and then slowly plot the entire Dasheng Dynasty.
……
The next day.
Zheng Ming took Jinxian and Luanshen away from Yaoning Fucheng and headed for Qinglan Island.
Starting from Fucheng, walk eastward for five hundred miles, and arrive at a small city called Luoyao City, and then take a boat from Luoyao City to sail northward for about a hundred miles, and you will reach Qinglan Island.
In Luoyao City, there are many merchant ships that go back and forth to Qinglan Island, and they only need to spend ten taels of silver to take a ride with the wind.
Zheng Ming was on a cargo ship that sells food and supplies in front of Qinglan Island. The boss of the ship was a rough middle-aged man with a master-level cultivation.
There are also two men and a woman who are riding the boat together, and they seem to be companions.
Standing on the deck, Zheng Ming looked at the dilapidated cargo ship, and couldn't help thinking about the mirage.
"Lu Shicheng met the young master in Xiamoyuan Mansion."
Zheng Ming looked up at the speaker in surprise, and said with a smile, "Zheng Ming has seen Xiongtai!"
Lu Shicheng looked at Zheng Ming, but speculated about Zheng Ming's origin in his mind.
Since boarding the ship, he has been paying attention to the three of Zheng Ming, not because he has any bad intentions, but because the three of Zheng Ming are too weird in his eyes.
First of all, Zheng Ming's attire and temperament, at first glance, he is not an ordinary person, he looks like a child of a big family.
Followed by Jinxian and Luanshen, although the aura is restrained, so that he can't see the depth, but judging from the posture and expression of the two, they are definitely not ordinary people.
Finally, there was Zheng Ming's aura. If the auras of Jinxian and Chaoshen were restrained, then Zheng Ming's aura was extremely ordinary, as if he were an ordinary person.
An ordinary person would not dare to go to Qinglan Island, and an ordinary person would not be protected by two unpredictable people.
So he speculated that Zheng Ming must be the eldest son of a certain cultivating family, but he did not find a cultivating family with the surname Zheng in his memory.
"The young master is also going to Qinglan Island." He asked softly.
Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and said: "I heard that Qinglan Island can hunt monsters in the sea, so I want to go and have a look, and catch a few monsters by the way."
Hearing this, Lu Shicheng was even more sure that Zheng Ming was the son of a big family.
Because only the sons of big families would go to Qinglan Island to have a look in boredom, but people like them went to Qinglan Island to fight for a cultivation resource.
Going out to sea to hunt monsters is extremely dangerous, and if you are lucky, you can get a lot of spirit stones, so many great masters will go to Qinglan Island to hunt monsters, seeking a breakthrough resource.But ordinary people rarely go to Qinglan Island except for some merchant ships and shop assistants.
"Master, you should be careful when you go to Qinglan Island, the people there are all vicious." Lu Shicheng said pointedly.
"Vicious guy! Mr. Lu is familiar with Qinglan Island?" Zheng Ming asked.
"It's fairly familiar." Lu Shicheng said bitterly, "I've been down there three times, and each time I returned with a serious injury."
Zheng Ming couldn't help becoming curious, and asked, "Why?"
Lu Shicheng replied: "Except for the wharf and Fangshi on Qinglan Island, all other places are full of chaos and killings. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by surprise."
"My luck is bad, every time I gain something, I will meet villains and take away all the gains."
Zheng Ming nodded slightly. Luan Shen told him that Qinglan Island was in chaos, but he didn't expect it to be so chaotic.
But is Lu Shicheng's luck really bad?
"I think you're very lucky, you didn't die from three serious injuries."
Lu Shicheng was slightly taken aback, then laughed, and said: "Young master is right, I'm lucky."
"However, there is one thing I don't quite understand. Why did Mr. Lu go to Qinglan Island?" Zheng Ming asked.
Obviously failed three times, almost lost his life three times in a row, but still went to Qinglan Island. This is not afraid of death, but there is still a last resort.
Lu Shicheng bowed his head and said: "If you don't go, you can't go. If you don't go, you won't be able to break through to the grand master rank. If you go, there is still a chance."
Zheng Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to understand.
Great master!
In the Nine Realms of China, the great masters are considered masters, but in the Dasheng Dynasty, the great masters are the most embarrassing existence, especially the casual cultivators, whose status is the most uncomfortable.
Compared with ordinary people, the Grand Master is a master, but compared with the cultivating family, the Grand Master is the target of oppression.
After all, it is for resources and industry.
In order to prevent the emergence of new cultivating families, the cultivating families will do their best to suppress the grand masters.
Generally, the grand masters of casual cultivators can only face three choices. The first is to join the army and become a soldier of the dynasty. In this way, they can be protected by the dynasty, but they will not get too many resources.
The second is to join the cultivating family and become a soldier of the cultivating family. At best, they are bodyguards, at worst, they are domestic slaves. Once you become a domestic slave, your life and future are all in the hands of others.
The third type is casual cultivators like Lu Shicheng, who don't join the army or a cultivating family, and look for a way out by themselves, or sink completely, and don't even think about breaking through.
Compared with those lofty great masters of Nine Regions Shenzhou, a great master like Lu Shicheng makes people feel a bit pitiful.
Chapter 282 Assassination, Seizing Fangshi (updated)
Zheng Ming looked at him with a gleam in his eyes.
These great masters seem to have something interesting.
"Follow my son, how about I give you a chance to break through?" He said suddenly.
Lu Shicheng's expression froze, and he looked straight at Zheng Ming.
He came to Zheng Ming to communicate with him because he wanted to make friends with Zheng Ming and get a chance to make a breakthrough.
I didn't expect to be seen through by Zheng Ming so soon.
"A house slave?" he asked, lowering his head.
Zheng Ming shook his head slightly, and said, "You can be regarded as a subordinate! Of course you have to pay your loyalty."
"Can you make me a martial artist?" Lu Shicheng asked again.
Wu Xun is a canonized master, just like Cheng Rufeng is now Wu Xun, and Cheng Rufeng's Cheng family is a cultivating family.
Zheng Ming smiled lightly and said, "Yes, the key is whether you can be loyal to my son, if not, even if you become a martial artist, you will die."
Lu Shicheng's eyes lit up, what he wanted was to make a breakthrough without becoming a slave of other families, and Zheng Ming seemed to be able to give it to him.
As for being loyal to Zheng Ming, he felt normal instead.
If Zheng Ming didn't even ask for this, it would seem a bit malicious.
Moreover, in the Dasheng Dynasty, it is normal for the third-rank martial arts to be loyal to more powerful cultivation families. For example, the Bei family has more than a dozen subordinate cultivation families under its command.
The point is that many cultivating families want to become affiliated families of the Bei family, but the Bei family is still unwilling to accept them.
"I have two companions." Lu Shicheng turned his head and looked at a man and a woman not far away.
Zheng Ming smiled slightly and said, "You can discuss it. For me, it doesn't matter if there are two more."
Lu Shicheng hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly, and said, "I will take my leave first."
Zheng Ming waved his hand indifferently.
After Lu Shicheng left, he couldn't help laughing.
"Jinxian, I seem to have found the password to clear the customs!"
"My lord, you mean to recruit those dissatisfied great masters?" Jinxian said beside him.
Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and said: "Although the third-rank family is weak, it is also a cultivating family."
"However, loyalty needs to be considered. I'm afraid they will betray the young master after being called Wu Xun." Jinxian frowned slightly.
"Equal importance is given to kindness and power, and deterrence by force, it is impossible to kill chickens to scare monkeys." Zheng Ming said.
Jinxian said again: "It will take a lot of resources to let them break through."
Despite the fact that almost all summoned characters have broken through to the cave god realm in recent years, it is actually not an easy task for the grand master to break through to the cave god realm.
Under the potential pill provided by the system, the potential and talent of the summoned characters are far higher than ordinary people. When encountering the bottleneck of breaking through the Grand Master, it is enough to have enough fairy spirit.
But a great master like Lu Shicheng should not have high talent and potential, otherwise he wouldn't be stuck in the rank of great master forever.
Zheng Ming nodded indifferently.
A one-turn golden elixir only has [-] points of luck. As long as it's not too far behind, it's not a big problem to break through to the grand master.
In contrast, summoning a character with [-] Luck Points is not necessarily in the Cave God Realm.
