The Rise of the Shen Family

v2 Chapter 695: Shanghai Shangfang Industry

  Chapter 697 Shanghai Shangfang Industry

A round of rising sun slowly rises from the east, sprinkling red and brilliant sunlight on Yunbi Peak, and in the seemingly dazzling sunlight, a spiritual light is flying at extreme speed from the boundless sea towards Yunbi Peak. Escape.

  In the case of not alarming any clansmen, Shen Huanchi took Shen Ruiling back to the Houshan Cave Mansion, and immediately summoned Shen Ruizhi of the family in charge to ask about the family situation during this period.

  "Whether the situation of the outside world has changed during the time we two are away?"

  Shen Huanchi looked at Shen Ruizhi who had just arrived, and asked directly.

"For more than a month, Qingyunmen and Wujizong have not done much. According to the news from the family's stronghold in Pingzhou, Qingyunmen is pursuing family forces in Pingzhou. Those who had previously and Wujizong secretly All the families that had contact with or took refuge in the Wuji Sect were all uprooted."

"In addition to the upper three of the top ten families in Pingzhou, all the remaining seven families have undergone earth-shaking changes. The Gu family, who originally ranked sixth, has become the first of the three families. In addition, there are many new family members. The machine is in place."

  Faced with inquiries, Shen Ruizhi gave a detailed report on the situation over the past month and the former, focusing on the series of actions taken by Qingyunmen in Pingzhou.

After hearing this, Shen Huanchi and Shen Ruiling nodded slightly, and then lowered their heads to think.

  Qingyunmen's actions did not surprise them. For those families who betrayed the sect, Qingyunmen would naturally seek them to settle accounts after freeing up their hands.

  After Qingyunmen integrates the various family forces in Pingzhou, their next step should be to prepare to recover the two counties of Jiangmin and Shansheng.

  After a long time, Shen Huanchi looked up at Shen Ruizhi again, and asked in a deep voice:

  "How is the matter on the family Hushangfang side handled?"

   "In return to the patriarch, Yong Xuan has already gone to Shanghai Shangfang. The family has also taken over some industries from the Sanxiu Alliance, including a restaurant and a casino, as well as nine shops in the downtown area of ​​Fang."

  Hearing this, Shen Ruiling was visibly taken aback, and she couldn't help feeling a little surprised in her heart.

  A restaurant, a casino, and nine shops in the center of the square, the combined value of these industries, if all converted into spirit stones, may have exceeded 300,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

  This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for the family.

  "At present, I have sent a tribe to take over the restaurant and casino, and they have reopened, but the other nine shops are still closed."

  Shen Ruizhi looked at Shen Huanchi and Shen Ruiling, and slowly explained the specific situation.

  Among these industries, restaurants and gambling shops are undoubtedly the two most profitable industries. If managed properly, it is not a problem to bring tens of thousands of Lingshi income to the family every year.

  Hushangfang is one of the top Dafang market in the entire Lingnan immortal world. There are countless monks pouring into it every day, and the passenger flow is very huge.

  And for the monks, although they have embarked on the path of spiritual practice, they still can’t get rid of all kinds of desires, and they still have the same emotions and emotions as mortals, as well as joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

  Therefore, there are also a large number of foodies, drinkers, and gamblers among the monks. The existence of these people has brought huge profits to various service industries in Fangcheng.

  Furthermore, with the strength demonstrated by the Shen family today, it is also capable enough to support the operation of a restaurant and a casino, enabling them to continuously bring substantial benefits to the family.

  "Whether the business of a restaurant is good or not, the problem is nothing more than the wine and food."

  After thinking for a while, Shen Ruiling looked at Shen Huanchi and said slowly.

  “Nowadays, the spirit wine industry in the family has been very mature. The second-tier and third-tier spirit wine types are very complete, enough to support the daily needs of a large restaurant.”

  "In addition to the ingredients in the restaurant, the family’s second-order Linggu has basically met the daily consumption of the tribe, and the rest can be sent to the restaurant for sale."

   "Moreover, Hushangfang is close to the boundless sea. Every day, all kinds of monsters and beasts can be fresh without worrying, enough to ensure the best flavor."

  Speaking of this, Shen Ruiling paused slightly before continuing to speak:

   "Now the problem of ingredients can be solved very well, the most important thing is the craftsmanship of the cook."

  The taste of a restaurant’s dishes and whether it can retain customers depends on the chef’s skills in the back kitchen.

  If the ingredients in this restaurant are good, the chef’s craftsmanship is not good, and customers will not be retained. It will only waste the best quality ingredients in vain.

  "The problem of the cook is not too difficult to solve. It turns out that the cook of the restaurant still has two people left. In addition, among the tribe, one of the Yongzi generation who is good at cooking has already gone to Shanghai Shangfang to take the lead."

  Shen Ruizhi pondered for a while, then spoke again.

   "The only thing I worry about at the moment is that there is a lack of a foundation-building monk at the casino. It is inevitable that some young people will come to make trouble and smash the venue."

   And when Shen Ruiling heard this, she couldn't help but bow her head and fell silent.

  Although the head of the family can scare off some of the younger generations, there will definitely be some who are not long-sighted, so a foundation building monk must be sent to sit in the town.

   "It's better to let Yu Keqing go and sit down."

  After a long time, he looked at Shen Ruizhi and said slowly.

  Yu Zhenmin was originally a casual cultivator in Shanghai Shangfang, and he had a foundation period, so it seemed more appropriate than Shen Feng.

  Here, Shen Ruizhi nodded slowly, but soon seemed to think of other things.

   "Speaking of Yu Keqing, I recently saw Qimei walked quite close to him recently."

   Hearing this, Shen Ruiling's eyes couldn't help but flash with a strange look.

What's happening here?

  Is it possible that these two people are getting better?

  If this is the case, Shen Ruiling is in favor of her with both hands. After all, Shen Ruiwen is not young anymore. Although she can't see much on the outside, she is really old.

  If she can make a pair with Yu Zhenmin, it would be a good home, one is a second-tier high-grade alchemist, and the other is a foundation building monk, which is considered a good match.

   But as for whether this is the case, I have to check the tone of the two of them.

  As for this matter, Shen Huanchi and Shen Ruiling have the same views, and if it is allowed to develop naturally, it is not easy for them to intervene.

  . . . . . .

  After a while, the subject of Shen Huanchi's discussion fell on the nine shops.

  "With the current family's manpower, it is obviously impossible to open all the nine shops. Some shops must be rented out."

  Shen Huanchi looked at Shen Ruiling and Shen Ruizhi, and said in a deep voice.

  Hearing this, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but nodded. Obviously, they were also very clear in their hearts.

"In my opinion, two or three shops left by the family are enough now. They are mainly used to sell the cultivation resources of the family's medicines, magical instruments, talisman, formations, etc., as well as to purchase all kinds of stores in Shanghai. Natural treasures."

   "All the remaining shops are sub-leased out, waiting for the family to have sufficient manpower in the future, and it is slowly developing."

   Seeing, Shen Ruiling lowered her head and groaned, then raised her head and said slowly.

  After the voice of the current person fell, there was silence in the cave for a while before Shen Huanchi finalized it.

   "Just as Ruiling means, it is not suitable to spread the stall too large at the moment."

   "Okay, I will arrange these things right away!"

  On this side, Shen Ruizhi hurriedly agreed, then turned around and left the cave.

  . . . . . .

  After Shen Ruizhi left, only Shen Huanchi and Shen Ruiling were left in the huge cave.

   "Take these two jade slips back for insight and see if you can comprehend the key point."

   After that, Shen Huanchi took out two jade slips from his sleeve and handed them to Shen Ruiling.

   After hearing this, Shen Ruiling reached out and took the two jade slips, and his spiritual consciousness was immediately invested in them.

   These two jade slips, the former records the water control method named "Shang Shan Ruo Water", and the latter is the secret technique that can refine and control the mysterious stage puppets.

  Although Shen Ruiling already possesses the method of preventing fire, and at the same time he has excellent control of fire attribute power, he also has the spiritual root of water attribute, and his grasp of water attribute power needs to be further strengthened.

  And for him who cultivates the three attributes of spiritual power, it is the most important thing to achieve the harmony of water and fire.

   "Patriarch, this puppet technique?"

  Shen Ruiling looked at the profound stage puppet technique in his hand, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at Shen Huanchi.

  "This puppet technique requires a monk with a strong enough spirit power to cultivate, and it has extremely high requirements for talent. Now there are very few in the family who meet these two conditions. You can first try to understand the mystery."

  Shen Huanchi cast his gaze on Shen Ruiling, and said earnestly.

  In addition to Shen Ruiling, he will slowly look for other clansmen to come into contact with puppetry, and see if he can find clansmen who are talented in practicing puppetry and start practicing.

  Although this puppet secret technique cannot be made public, let alone revealed, it is also very necessary to secretly select talented clansmen to practice in advance.

Hearing this, Shen Ruiling nodded slightly, and said seriously:

   "Understood, Patriarch!"

After   , he put the two jade slips in his hand into the storage bag.

"In addition, this time I obtained a Tier 4 Flood Dragon's Flood Pill, plus the Demon Pill from [Nether Ghost Mother] from the previous shipwreck and the incomplete one you brought back from the secret realm of the'Dongtian Ruins'. Tier 4 [Elephant Beast] Demon Pill, the family already possesses two and a half Tier 4 Demon Pills."

   "Now that you and your Sixth Uncle have reached the pinnacle of foundation-building, it is time to prepare for the formation of alchemy. I plan to personally invite Mr. Yao to make two copies of [Gold Pill Jade Liquid] for you."

  It didn't take long for Shen Huanchi's voice to ring slowly in Shen Ruiling's ear again.

  Seriously speaking, it has been more than ten years since the three people of Shen Huanchi obtained the refining pill of [Gold Core Jade Liquid] in Dongxie’s cave mansion.

  The reason why they left the demon python of the third-order peak was also to obtain its fourth-order flood pill, so as to refine [Gold Pill Jade Liquid] for Shen Huanchi.

  But who knows that the plan can’t keep up with the changes, Shen Huanchi succeeded in consolidating alchemy smoothly by chance without taking the [Gold Core Jade Liquid].

  As for the Tier 4 Demon Pill of that Demon Python, they have only just obtained it now.

   However, although this demon pill was acquired a few years later than expected, it was not wasted in vain. In the end, it was used by the Shen family to refine [Gold Pill Jade Liquid].

  It’s just that this time it’s no longer for Shen Huanchi, but for Shen Ruiling and Shen Jinghua.

  On this side, when Shen Ruiling heard what the patriarch said, she couldn't help but froze for a while, apparently she did not expect that the patriarch was already considering his Dan formation.

  His current cultivation base is no more than eight levels of foundation building, which is one level short of the realm of foundation building of great perfection. As for the formation of pill, it will take more than ten years of hard work to do it.

   But compared to himself, the sixth uncle must be very close to the pill formation, and it can even be said to be within reach. It is only for some reasons that he does not know that he has been suppressing his own cultivation.

  If the family can provide the Sixth Uncle with a [Gold Pill Jade Liquid], then his pill formation will be more smooth in the future.

   "Just do what you said, the patriarch!"

  Shen Ruiling lowered her head in deep thought for a moment, then said to Shen Huanchi.

   Although it is said that he is now a Tier 3 high-rank alchemist, and Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire assisted him, but the [Gold Core Jade Liquid] who wanted to refine Tier 4 was still a little bit hotter.

  At first, because there was no way, the family was only a Tier 3 alchemist. If Tier 4 Demon Pill was obtained, and the patriarch had reached the critical juncture of pill formation, he could only try to refine it.

  But now the situation is different. There is Yao Lao, a mysterious alchemist who is in the family. He only needs to help him by the side and just learn by the way.

  As for the safety issue, Shen Ruiling felt that she was too worried. Using Yao Laona's cultivation base and alchemy attainments ~lightnovelpub.net~I don't know if the other party can see the elixir of [Gold Pill Jade Liquid].

  Although Shen Ruiling still doesn't know the origin of Yao Lao, he has already guessed the opponent's cultivation base and alchemy skills. The opponent's cultivation base should be higher than that of the patriarch. As for the alchemy skills, the lowest level is also the Tier 4 alchemy grandmaster level.

  . . . . . .

  Unconsciously, a few more hours passed. Shen Ruiling was about to get up and leave. Shen Huanchi looked at him again and warned earnestly:

   "The affairs of the family Hushangfang are temporarily managed by Ruizhi. During this time, you should calm down and digest the various opportunities you have obtained on the inheritance island."

  As for the patriarch’s warning, Shen Ruiling naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly accepted it.

   "Understood, Patriarch!"

   After that, he bowed his hand to Shen Huanchi to bid farewell, turned and left the cave.

  . . . . . .

    Let me water a chapter, sort out my thoughts, the next thing to write is really too much...
