Everlasting

"This can be done."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. In recent years, the Chen family's monks have made rapid progress in cultivation. Correspondingly, the resources that can be obtained corresponding to various resources have also increased a lot.

With the Chen family's property and the several Dazhou shops near Kaibian, it stands to reason that it would be enough to support one or two Nascent Souls in the later stages.

Just because Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong's cultivation progressed too fast, the Five Elements Essence in the family treasury was still insufficient.

Once Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong break through the middle stage of Qi training, they will each have several natal spiritual treasures that need to be promoted. The five elements of essence required for this will be an incalculable number.

The Five Elements Essence consumed by the ten natal spiritual treasures alone is enough for an ordinary Nascent Soul Immortal Clan to eat up, not to mention the natal magical powers that also need to be consumed.

Although the Chen family has accumulated a lot of Five Elements Essence over the years, several Nascent Souls in the Chen family have been promoted in recent years. In addition, the Five Elements Essence consumed in refining the Liangyi Baolian, so the Five Elements Essence in stock is also insufficient.

Moreover, the spiritual stones in the clan treasury are somewhat insufficient, so they can only allocate the spiritual stones from the hands of the clan members first.

After making a decision in his mind, Chen Nianzhi found Chen Changxuan and informed him of the situation.

The old patriarch nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Actually, it's not that the family has no money, it's just that it was short for the family to be promoted to the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, and most of the spiritual stones in the family treasury are used for investment."

"oh?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly as he listened to Chen Changxuan's words.

Following the old patriarch's narration, Chen Nianzhi roughly understood the current situation of the Chen family.

Because they have conquered several fifth-level spiritual mountains and killed many powerful enemies, the Chen family is actually rich, and the resources on their books are among the top among the Nascent Soul Clan.

It's just that after the Chen family was promoted to the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, they had too much foundation to accumulate, so the family's investment in spiritual stones was mainly three pieces.

The main investments in these three areas are: tribesmen loans, fixed assets, and market investment.

The tribe's loans are mainly for the family to break through the Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Pill, and Nascent Soul.

This area covers almost everyone from Nascent Soul Lords such as Chen Changxuan and Chen Xianyan to young monks who have cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training.

The main goal is to cultivate potential family monks, and the interest rate is actually very low. Once the breakthrough is successful, you need to work for the family, or earn spiritual stones through cultivation of various arts to pay back the money.

The second investment is fixed assets, and this investment is also the bulk of the family's expenditure.

In just two hundred years, the Chen family has cultivated more than a thousand spiritual mountains of different grades in the vast sea and Chen country, and also opened up more than two million acres of spiritual fields.

The investment in these two items alone accounts for 40% of the family's annual expenditure.

Lingshan Lingtian is mainly used to grow spiritual trees for refining treasure ships, as well as various spiritual fruits and elixirs.

It would take hundreds or even thousands of years for these investments to be profitable, and most of the ones that have matured now are low-level elixirs.

These low-level elixirs are not very profitable. After deducting the salary of the clan members responsible for planting them, they actually don’t make much money.

The main profit comes from mid-to-high-level elixirs of level three or above. This level of elixirs can already be used as auxiliary medicines for Nascent Soul elixirs, which can be said to be quite profitable.

It's just that it will take at least five hundred years for this level of elixir to mature, and it's still very early now.

In these spiritual mountains and spiritual fields, there are now hundreds of thousands of fourth- and fifth-level high-level elixirs planted, including rare treasures such as the Tribulation Flower, but it will take thousands of years to mature.

However, these investments are indispensable. After Chen Nianzhi breaks through Nascent Soul, it will take an entire continent to gather the auxiliary ingredients needed to refine a batch of high-level elixirs.

The main ingredients for the refined fifth-level elixirs are all purchased from the outside world at a high cost. If the scale of the spiritual field is not expanded, it will be difficult to get all the auxiliary ingredients to refine a batch of elixirs in the future, let alone A precious medicine.

The old patriarch takes a long-term view, so he invests a lot in this area, and continues to invest every year. In this way, after a thousand years, the family will continue to produce fifth-level elixirs.

Some of these elixirs are even key auxiliaries for the Yuanshen Pill. Even if the Chen family doesn't use them themselves in the future, they can still use them to establish friendships with major holy places.

In addition to fixed assets, there are also family stores. Over the years, the Chen family has opened stores in surrounding continents through various means such as purchase, lease, and replacement.

As of now, shops have been opened in 1,364 cities on seventeen continents around the Chen family.

For this reason, Chen Changxuan personally traveled to more than a dozen continents, greeted all the sects of the Yuanying Immortal Clan, and also gave him a generous benefit, which added up to a large sum of money.

These shops are not only for selling Chen's supplies, but also for purchasing the Five Elements Essence for Chen Nianzhi.

According to Chen Changxuan's arrangement, he only needs to wait two or three more years, and the Five Elements Essence purchased by the store over the years will be enough to solve Chen Nianzhi's consumption of Five Elements Essence after he is promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

I just don't want Chen Nianzhi to have a good chance after breaking through the Yuanying. Now that he has obtained the Moon God Pearl, it seems that the speed of breaking through the middle stage of the Yuanying will be a few years ahead of schedule, which makes the family's Five Elements Essence and the inventory of spiritual stones somewhat insufficient.

"I see."

Chen Nianzhi sighed. Over the years, he had concentrated on practicing and almost ignored family affairs.

If he were to handle these matters, it would greatly delay his practice, and the old patriarch might not be able to do it well.

Thinking of this, he pondered and said: "Although the family's spiritual stones are insufficient, we cannot delay the cultivation of the clan members."

"Let's do this. Those monks who are not far from a breakthrough in cultivation will not be apportioned for the time being."

"Some of the fifth-level spiritual objects in the family library should also be taken out of some more common ones and sold."

Chen Changxuan nodded, and then said with a smile: "I think the Bagua tree is about to advance, and then my few spiritual treasures will be useless. You gave them to me at the beginning, but now I will exchange them for you for the Five Elements Essence." Be angry."

"Excuse me, uncle."

Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly when he heard this, and discussed with Chen Changxuan for a while.

Thinking that presiding over affairs would greatly delay his practice, he pondered for a moment and then said: "There are some things you don't need to deal with personally, so you should focus more on your practice."

"It doesn't matter."

The old patriarch smiled, waved his hand and said, "Apart from you, the person I feel most at ease with is Qing Hao. Now that Qing Hao is preparing to attack Nascent Soul for the second time, I don't have time to spare."

"oh?"

Only then did Chen Nianzhi realize that before he knew it, Chen Qinghao's lifespan had now passed 700, and he was not far away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
