From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 9 Mother and Son and Father and Son

Zhu Sanniang and her son stayed in Xiyu Blessed Land for two days before leaving. After all, to open up a trade route, the output of Xiyu Blessed Land alone was not enough.

For a business of Xiyu Fudi's scale, at least ten are needed as a minimum. Fortunately, there is Taicang Embroidery Academy, which is also a big one.

Taicang Embroidery Academy is a famous girls' school, which is located on the opposite side of Taicang Weaver Girl Temple. The Hujin and Su embroidery here are world-famous.

Thanks to the relationship between Xiyu Fudi and the embroidery academy, and with the help of Yu's father Yu Jixiang, Zhu Sanniang has already obtained a batch of lake brocade and Su embroidery fairy clothes from the embroidery academy.

With the embroidery academy's goods as a foundation, the trade route has a cornerstone. As long as we manage it slowly, revitalizing a trade route is a sure thing.

"Tell me what you feel about coming to Xiyu this time."

Zhu Sanniang brought her eldest son here this time, not only to solve the problem of the longevity character, but also to teach him by example. In the future, purchasing matters inland also need to be controlled by her own people.

"It feels great. The Xiyu Blessed Land is very well planned. Whether it's the clan school, the school fields, or the clan soldiers, it feels like it's not comparable to ordinary aristocratic families.

Although small, it has all the necessary organs, and everything it does is well-organized. It doesn't seem like some upstart demon who became an immortal."

Li Zhen had seen many demon and fairy families in the East China Sea. Some discerning people could see that the scheming and calculations could not last long and would eventually lead to ruin and separation.

"You still don't have enough experience. What kind of place is the East China Sea? Fortune is like flowing water. There are not so many old-established families there, and anyone with a little talent can show his talent.

Naturally, there are many nouveau riche in the wild immortals, and what are the rules? It is a family foundation that can only be obtained by an old and established family with many years of experience.

You think Xiyu's blessed land is small now, that's because his ancestor's future is unstable, and there is also a powerful enemy who is a fourth-grade demon fairy.

Otherwise, it would be ten times more prosperous than it is now. Look at what happened at the Embroidery Court this time, don’t you understand?”

Mrs. Zhu San taught her son behind closed doors, and naturally she spared no effort, breaking down the words and explaining them bit by bit.

Li Zhen listened and thought, and couldn't help but think of his family. They were also nouveau riche in the East China Sea. His father took refuge with the Twelve Princes of the Dragon Palace and became the General of the Water Palace.

Because of the matter of the real demon with the word "Shou", a dignified fifth-rank demon fairy did not dare to take responsibility and only hid in the Longsun Water Palace with his third brother.

Only the wild immortal family of the East China Sea could do such a ridiculous thing. Thinking of the nouveau riche demon immortals from Yazhou whom he once looked down upon, he felt a little ashamed.

"What do you think of my second uncle's family? Tell me what you think."

Zhu Sanniang saw her son's emotions. Ever since her husband took their youngest son to hide in the water palace, she knew that the child had a thorn in his heart.

"My second uncle is a very good person, and my aunt is also very good. Although my cousin's talent is not so good, now that he has inherited the true seed, I think he will not be too bad.

However, their lives are a bit too poor. Two seventh-rank demon cultivators shouldn't be so miserable, without even a single servant to serve them."

Li Zhen had a very good impression of his second uncle's family. He could feel that they were helping them sincerely and not just for the sake of face or by just saying nice things to flatter them.

Seeing her son's young and envious look, Zhu Sanniang felt distressed and felt even more disgusted with her husband, Bi Bo Chong.

"Your second uncle and mother are sworn brothers and sisters. Although they are not blood relatives, they have experienced the test of life and death and have a friendship that is worthy of being entrusted with one's wife and children.

This time you only met Xiaojiu, and you didn't know that your second uncle has eight daughters. They are all well-behaved and married into first-class families.

In the future, when this trade route is handed over to you, you will have to rely on your second uncle's favor to come to the inland for purchases.

If the real issue is handled this way, both parties will benefit, so don't take it to heart.

I've also planned it for you: the inheritance of the Way of the God of Wealth. As long as this trade route exists, your breakthrough to the fifth rank won't be a problem in the future." Madam Zhu San explained her plan, which she had planned long ago. Opening up the trade route would benefit Yazhou Monster City and Longsun Water Palace greatly. This wealth would be exchanged for a fifth-rank demon immortal for her son.

"Thank you, mother."

Putting aside the mother and son, at Xiyu Fudi, Yu Shuyang and others were getting impatient. He was trying to break through to the ninth level within a limited time. He had originally planned to practice as soon as he came back from the tribulation and break through directly without hesitation.

How long can he wait by dragging it out like this, especially since Yu's father has repeatedly warned him not to act rashly and to wait for the result of the divination by the ancestor.

“I say, old man, are you still okay? Do you really want to sell your son? Don’t forget that you were idle and talked nonsense about registering me.

It's the end of February now, and July 7th is only a few days away. Even though I'm gifted and intelligent, I still need time to cultivate."

Yu Shuyang is a person who takes everything into consideration. To put it nicely, he is diligent in planning everything. To put it bluntly, he is hesitant and avoids heavy tasks.

Practicing the Heavenly Wind Mantra also requires gathering wind and refining Qi. The winds of the four seasons and eight festivals are all indispensable. If possible, one must also sacrifice and refine one or two talismans of the gold and water paths.

It might not take more than a month just to refine these dozen or so talismans, and he hasn't yet prepared the spiritual materials needed for the refinement. Fortunately, he is still within the ten-year period, and all the expenses for his practice will be covered by the academy.

Otherwise, one has to pay a price, and even selling one's body may not be enough, especially the winds of the four seasons and eight festivals, which are all Tiangang pure Qi, and cannot be collected without the ability to fly.

"What's the point of urging me? I've already consulted the ancestors. We have to wait for an auspicious day and consult the heavens at the north and south altars. There's no way we can expect results immediately.

If you're in a hurry to talk to me, why not go find Master Yu and quickly get the spiritual materials you need for your magic? You know it's almost July, and there are many people anxious to practice magic."

Yu's father said slowly that he couldn't stand his son being so calm and doing everything slowly, just like an old man who had to prepare everything in advance.

Seeing his son in such a hurry, he felt a little bit of pleasure in his heart. His son was as steady as an old dog all day long, which made him, as a father, feel very inexperienced.

"You think it's you? The academy only has five wind qi, and we're still short of three. The teacher has already borrowed the qi bottle and went to collect wind qi for me personally.

How can I not be anxious? I had originally planned to overcome the tribulation during the Spring Festival this year and break through to the ninth level of alchemy after the New Year. But now, I am still short of three strands of wind qi.

The talismans for the metal and water paths haven't been set yet. If we rush into this, it's easy to cause problems."

Yu Shuyang felt that he and Yu's father were incompatible, otherwise, why would they often clash and get angry after just a few words?

“Look, even if there are results now, you still can’t complete it.

So, there’s no point in being anxious. As the saying goes, everything is the best arrangement.”

Seeing that Yu's father was talking nonsense again, Yu Shuyang was too lazy to listen and was about to leave angrily, but then he remembered something he had to tell Yu's father.

"Don't plant dragon beard grass in the spiritual field at home. I need it. Plant Ganoderma lucidum instead."

"Sure, why not? I'm confident in leaving the spiritual farm to you. But then again, aren't you going to refine the sword? Why do you want to farm?"

"Don't worry about it anyway. I'm just telling you that I'm useful."
