Chapter 234 Virtual and Real

Wangshu Fucheng, Qufu.

Everyone in the city knew that shortly after the Lord Chu was appointed by Tiancheng, he followed the local customs and chose two in-laws in the city.

They are the Qu family and the You family respectively.

These two families are both local big families, and they have several Jindan masters in their families. After joining forces with the Lord of Chu Palace, they formed a strong alliance.

These two families have made great efforts and reaped most of the benefits of Palace Master Chu's inaction over the years.

Of course, since Chu Yanran was born, the two families that were originally neck and neck have gradually become more and more prosperous.

The Qu family has become the number one family in Wangshu Mansion.

In recent years, the Datong Society has emerged, and with the endorsement of the city lord's palace, it has snatched away most of the profitable businesses in the city.

After all, if the overall development of a city remains unchanged, the market pie will only be so big.

Some people want to take one more bite, and some people want to take one less bite.

From this point of view, the Qu family is actually the party whose interests have been harmed.

It's just that the monks in the Qu family have made a lot of money in the Demon Slayer Army following Palace Master Chu over the years. Overall, they have made slightly less money than before, so they don't have any objections.

Otherwise, Datong would have done this, and Palace Master Chu would have had a fire in his backyard.

But now that the Demon Slayer Army is facing disbandment and the Qu family's financial resources have been cut off, other ideas have come to mind.

So as soon as Chu Yanran arrived with the order from Palace Master Chu, they hit it off immediately.

In the meeting hall.

Every family in the city gathered together, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Monks are not noble.

On the contrary, even a sect as powerful as the Xuanyang Sect has to spread its disciples widely, use eight heavenly towns to suppress an area and search for resources.

What qualifications do families like them, whose strongest members are only in the Golden Core realm, have to be noble?

If the income of the family decreases, the daily cultivation resources will have to be reduced, and the family's younger generations will not be well trained.

Over time, the family will decline and eventually disappear into the dust of history.

So when the Qu family informed them to discuss important matters together, although they had some doubts in their hearts, everyone still came, and all the important people who came came.

"Brother Qu, since you called the big guy here, you can't just let us come and sit here."

"The master of the palace did this unethically. He has eaten enough, so he doesn't care about us?

We all have tried our best over the years and haven't caused any trouble to him.

Now that the Datong Society is bullying people too much, and the City Lord's Mansion is trying to shirk everything, someone has to stand up and say something. "

Someone took the lead, and people complained in the hall.

"Before, I said that President Bai of the Datong Society knows how to be a good person, and he gives away good treasures like Heretic Golden Pill at will.

Our Zhang family also made a lot of spiritual stones by reselling our qualifications.

But in recent years, our chances of winning the lottery have become lower and lower. On the contrary, our Zhang family’s alchemy room business has been snatched away by the Datong Association.

Now, Danfang has to lose 200,000 to 300,000 spiritual stones a year.

Most of the alchemists raised in our alchemy room were poached by the Datong Society.

No, the key is that we can't defeat him yet.

The Datong Association has funded too many fake alchemy monks over the years. Although individually speaking, they are not worth mentioning, but ten or eight of them stand together, and even our ancestors dare not take action easily. "

"That's right, Datonghui is simply not a human being. The Daaiyuan promised to make a profit without losing any money at the beginning, so we invested money in it and bought most of their houses.

The result was not good, the price of houses skyrocketed, but not many people bought it.

Not only that, if someone sells it, we have to take it over, otherwise the house price will be cut in half.

Now we are all holding on, and only Datong can eat with his mouth watering. "

"I don't know where Datong learned these tricky tricks. I regret it now, especially regret it. I am farming at home honestly and can make a living by collecting rent every year.

Now I owe a lot of debt, and my spiritual field has to be mortgaged to others.

There is also the elder's share of the Shangzong. If someone takes it, I won't be able to live anymore. "

Everyone was talking and crying.

Even though they have been practicing for hundreds of years, they look very sophisticated.

However, his thinking mode has become rigid due to years of experience. In the face of Datonghui's skilled leek tactics, he has little power to fight back.

In the past, when they encountered this kind of almost fraudulent method, they could just turn the tables and stop playing.

If you can't solve the problem, you can't solve the problem.

It happened that the City Lord's Mansion, which was supposed to be standing with them, went to grandma's house this time.

It can't be beaten by the hard ones, nor can it be defeated by the soft ones.

Qu Ming, as the current head of the Qu family, could not help but rub his brows and secretly rejoice when he saw the anger among the people.

Fortunately, it was a good thing to call them over this time, otherwise there would be no chance of a fight on the spot.

"Everyone, please be patient."

"Qu asked you all to come here, naturally to give you a solution. I hope Shufu City can be what it is now, thanks to the hard work of the family like us year after year.

After all, the Datong Association has a shallow foundation, so how can it go against the opinions of the public? "

"So Qu wants to announce good news to everyone."

"Everyone must know that just a few days ago, Palace Master Chu specially invited President Bai to visit him after he came back.

The situation seems very pessimistic.

But the real situation is not like this. In fact, under the persuasion of Palace Master Chu, President Bai agreed that Palace Master Chu was willing to share the property of Datonghui with everyone.

Everyone has to earn spiritual stones together to be happy. "

Qu Ming clapped his hands and said to the back hall with a victor's posture:

"President Bai, please come and say a few words to you personally."

after awhile.

Yu Xian, who was unshaven and looked rather haggard, walked out of the back hall and bowed to everyone.

"Bai Gu has met all fellow Taoists."

Most of the people present had suffered at the hands of Datonghui. When they saw Yu Xian's appearance, instead of feeling sympathy, they felt relieved.

After all, despite being an outsider, Palace Master Chu still sides with his own family.

They wrongly blamed the Lord of the Palace before.

Yu Xian smiled bitterly and said: "According to Palace Master Chu's opinion, Datonghui plans to split and auction all properties except the Daai project.

If you are interested, you can attend the auction at Datong Club in January. "

"We actually want to split up the Datong auction."

Everyone was immediately gearing up and became interested.

They have all suffered losses from the Datong Association, and they know that except for the big love project, the other projects of the Datong Association are chickens that lay golden eggs.

As long as they get one, even if they don't need to change anything, they can make a lot of money by continuing to do it according to the previous model.

As for that big love project, I won’t give it to them.

If they do good deeds and give money to others, their huge family fortune cannot afford to lose.

but……

There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. As soon as the news of the complaint came out, President Bai came out to comfort them.

Could it be that Palace Master Chu and President Bai have other agreements in private, and everything happening now is just an act.

Doubts arise in some people's minds.

But overall, Yu Xian's performance really appeased them.

Just like the concerns of Yan County Magistrate of Qiufeng City at the beginning, it is easy to ask the gods but difficult to send them away.

Once the sect supervisor ends, he must go back with his achievements.

Moreover, the supervisory monk responsible for the city level is already the Nascent Soul Lord. If they want to satisfy such a person, the price they pay is enough to break their bones.

If the Datong Association and the City Lord's Mansion hadn't colluded before and forced them to do something, they wouldn't have had such an idea.

So when everyone dispersed from Qu Mansion half excited and half confused, they all used their connections to inquire.

Naturally, by coincidence, I heard that Palace Master Chu was seriously injured while exterminating demons.

Now Miss Chu and her mother, the former eldest daughter of the Qu family, are privately selling the Chu family's property.

But the strange thing is that they only want spiritual stones.

Someone visited Palace Master Chu in the name of visiting a patient, but was blocked by someone who said it was inconvenient to see the visitor.

All kinds of behavior make people suspicious.

Until rumors spread that Palace Master Chu had asked Director Yan about the Infant Transformation Pill at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and confirmed that the Infant Transformation Pill would be sold at the auction held by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in Xuanyang Realm.

Those who want to do good things quickly go to Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to inquire.

Although in principle the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce does not allow the privacy of its guests to be revealed, these inquiring people are the powerful people in the city and are the main source of customers for the chamber of commerce.

Therefore, Director Yan neither admitted nor denied, but just nodded and admitted that the Infant Transformation Pill would indeed appear at the auction.

Just like that, the wise man suddenly understood everything.

The Lord of the Chu Palace is recovering from his illness, but in fact he is preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul. Now he is selling off his property, and only the spiritual stone is the proof.

The reason why President Bai compromised with Palace Master Chu was probably because he secretly reached an agreement with Palace Master Chu.

Or they were simply threatened by Palace Master Chu, and the spiritual stones they auctioned would become resources to support Palace Master Chu's breakthrough.

After numerous investigations and evidence collection, Datonghui itself was ignored, and everyone's attention was focused on Palace Master Chu's possible breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

There is only one big difference between the Golden Elixir realm and the Nascent Soul realm.

But a difference in realm is the difference between heaven and earth.

Of course, the Nascent Soul realm is not so easy to break through, otherwise Palace Master Chu would not be so low-key.

Being too high-profile will not only easily lead to jealousy, but may also lead to unforeseen events. If you fail, you will become a laughing stock.

Some people thought they had the correct answer, but instead tacitly concealed the news, betraying Palace Master Chu in a small way.

As for complaining, only fools complain.

Now everyone is busy carving up the cake of the Datong Association, and from time to time, several people will make private appointments to discuss it.

After all, although each company has a lot of assets, it doesn’t have much cash flow, so they have to work together to absorb it.

…

In the city lord's mansion.

Chu Yanran told Palace Master Chu one by one about the recent changes in the city, and at the same time comforted:

"Dad, don't worry, President Bai has promised me that as long as my daughter gives him the spirit stone, he will not do anything to you."

"Yes, dad, with me and Yanran here, if President Bai dares to do anything bad to you, the worst we can do is die with him, and we will never let him have an easy time."

Duan Hong, who was feeling weak and pale, encouraged him.

Palace Master Chu glanced at Duan Hong lightly and said nothing.

He knew that Duan Hong was probably from Datonghui, but he couldn't say anything now, not even a hint. He could only watch his daughter fall into this man's gentle trap.

Because the senior demon king followed him almost every step of the way.

Once he reveals any flaws, the whole city will be destroyed.

Speaking of which, he was honored to have a Nascent Soul Lord treat him with such caution.

At the same time, he was even more afraid of President Bai's identity, and he could actually make a Nascent Soul Lord obey his words.

I'm afraid that even if the sect caught him in the end, they wouldn't really dare to execute him until they had investigated clearly.

Otherwise, even the Nine Sun Immortal Sect would not be able to protect them if they really incurred the thunderous wrath of a God-Transforming Demon Lord.

His previous thoughts were a little too good.

"It's good that Dad is here. You should listen to President Bai's orders and discuss everything with Duan Hong. Although he is not as good as you in cultivation, he is much smarter than you."

Palace Master Chu said calmly.

"Well, my daughter knows that if Duan Lang hadn't been with her these days, she wouldn't have known how she would have gotten through it."

Chu Yanran held Duan Hong's hand tightly with a happy smile on her face.

Palace Master Chu: "..."

"Okay, you should go."

The bald man said expressionlessly.

Chu Yanran looked at Palace Master Chu reluctantly and said, "Dad, my daughter will come to see you often. You have to take good care of yourself."

Palace Master Chu nodded slightly, already not wanting to talk to his stupid daughter.

Not long after Chu Yanran and Duan Hong left.

Yu Xian appeared in front of Master Chu on time.

"Master Chu, thank you for your cooperation, otherwise I would be really in trouble."

Palace Master Chu snorted coldly: "President Bai is a good tactic, turning the clouds over and raining on his hands. Now the whole city is wondering when Chu will break through.

I'm afraid I never thought that Chu was already your prisoner. "

Yu Xian smiled and said: "To each other, Palace Master Chu didn't tell me that there is still sect supervision.

If the supervisory monks from Xuanyang Sect come, I will have no choice but to run away.

And Palace Master Chu's comeback from a desperate situation will be enough to become a good story.

It's a pity that Palace Master Chu probably doesn't know that. Until now, they have no intention of actually filing a complaint and inviting the sect to monitor.

The previous news was deliberately released to scare you and me. "

Palace Master Chu shook his head and said: "It's just that they were attracted by the small profits you threw out. The profits made them blind, short-sighted, hesitant to do big things, and wasted a great opportunity."

Yu Xian said, "I think you should be blamed for this."

Palace Master Chu asked in confusion: "What's the explanation?"

Yu Xian said with emotion: "If your sect supervisors hadn't been too ruthless in their raids, they would have gained something.

They have to be careful even when filing a complaint, so how can they make you miscalculate?

But I also understand your sect supervision. After all, if anyone asks me to do something, even if it is not completed, I have to take half of the benefit. "

Palace Master Chu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "President Bai is such a wonderful person."

Yu Xian said: "Master Chu, thank you very much. You called me a devil a few days ago."

"Palace Master Chu, I have no intention of killing you. As long as you cooperate well and finish what I want to do, you will still be your palace master.

Even Datong will still be able to work with you. "

Palace Master Chu said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of my revenge later?"

Yu Xian laughed, looking very confident.

"I have always believed that there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests, and you and I are not an eternal mortal enemy.

Besides, except for the Datonghui below, who can give you, Palace Master Chu, another chance to condense your baby? "

Palace Master Chu was silent for a moment and asked:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Yu Xian thought for a while, with a sunny smile on his face.

"It's a secret, but I think it's a good thing."

"Master Chu, have a good rest and don't be too haggard. Let your daughter see you, but you will feel distressed."

Yu Xian waved his hand, said goodbye and left.

Palace Master Chu glanced at the bald man who had been standing to one side like a sculpture since Yu Xian arrived, and sighed secretly.

"One wrong thought and you lose everything."

Looking back on those days, he had long given up on the idea of ​​a breakthrough. Breakthrough or not was a dispensable thing. He spent his whole day focusing on the mountains and rivers. Even the government affairs of the city's main palace were handled by the Quyou family.

But how did you get to where you are today?

perhaps……

Palace Master Chu recalled the day when he first met Yu Xian. Between the cups and the cups, the idea of ​​breaking through the Nascent Soul was like a seed that took root and sprouted in his heart.

"He is really a devil."

If he wasn't a demon, how could he let his desire take root so easily and become unable to extricate himself.

He slumped down and looked much older in an instant.
