Section 368
"The couple often act together, robbing people of money and women, and appearing and disappearing like ghosts. They are wanted by the Tianjian Sect for killing an elite disciple of the Tianjian Sect."
"So, these two people are really a bit like the male and female evil spirits."
After being told by Jin Yang Patriarch, Bai Family Patriarch looked at the picture on the photo stone and said with some doubt.
"The male and female evil spirits are wanted by the Tianjian Sect?"
"If so, this sword cultivator should be a cultivator of the Tianjian Sect, and he has tracked the two people all the way here."
"That's right, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence that there is a peerless sword cultivator in our Hongye Valley Market."
"Except for the Tianjian Sect, where else can there be such a domineering sword cultivator."
Others were relieved when they heard this, thinking that this was the case.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
Although there are often stories of masters hiding in the city, they are stories after all, and they are a minority.
"Yuanshan, you just said that you gave that sword cultivator a gift, how much spiritual stones is it worth?"
At this time, Patriarch Jinyang looked at Patriarch Yu and said.
Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhong, Patriarch Bai, and Patriarch Zheng were all stunned.
"Ancestor, a total of 30,000 spiritual stones."
"Under the circumstances at that time, how could I dare to give less, so I took out all the spiritual stones I could take out and the store inventory."
Yu Yuanshan said with a wry smile.
Then he looked at the three ancestors: "As for the gifts, I can make a detailed list, and I swear that I have never lied."
30,000 spiritual stones is not a small number, he just wants to share it among the four families.
It is not necessary to make enemies with the three families for the purpose of extorting spiritual stones.
"Three Taoist friends, now that the four families jointly control this market, I think this spiritual stone should not be paid by my Yu family?"
Patriarch Jinyang looked at the three ancestors and said.
There was a bit of unquestionable arrogance in his tone.
"Of course, we can share this amount of spiritual stones among the four families."
Upon hearing this, the Zheng family ancestor immediately expressed his opinion.
But his face showed a pained look.
Although 30,000 spiritual stones were shared equally, each family only had 7,500 spiritual stones.
But 7,500 spiritual stones is not a small amount.
Although the family's income is higher than that of ordinary casual cultivators, the expenses are also greater.
"Ancestor Jinyang, this time the robbery cultivators robbed the market, I think it has a lot to do with the casual cultivator Zhao Feng's breakthrough to build a foundation."
"At the beginning, it was your Yu family who went against the public opinion and let Zhao Feng break through the foundation in the market. If it weren't for this, maybe there would be no tonight's incident."
Lu Yuanzhong said.
He believed that Yu Yuanshan would not extort spiritual stones in this regard.
But tonight, not only the market was hit, but also their shops and stores suffered losses.
Now they have to take out such a large amount of spiritual stones, naturally unwilling.
"That's right. It's because your Yu family decided to let Zhao Feng build his foundation in the market that caused this tonight."
"Tonight, our families have suffered heavy losses. We will have to appease and compensate the merchants. Now this amount of spiritual stones has to be shared equally. I think it's inappropriate."
"I think the spiritual stones and the compensation for the merchants should be paid by your Yu family."
The ancestor of the Bai family also spoke up.
"The robbery cultivators plundered the market tonight, but it may not be because of the attack on the foundation."
"So many robbery cultivators are obviously well prepared."
Yu Yuanshan spoke up and expressed his opinion.
Immediately, the two sides began to argue.
Faced with this situation, the ancestor of the Zheng family chose to remain silent.
If possible, he naturally didn't want to share this amount of spiritual stones.
It's just that his Zheng family is in a bad situation at the moment, and he wants to please the Yu family.
"It was indeed this ancestor who proposed the matter of Zhao Feng, but you all agreed to it."
"So it is impossible for my Yu family to pay all the spiritual stones for the compensation."
"So, my Yu family will pay 50% of the 30,000 spiritual stones, and the remaining 50% will be shared equally by the three of you."
"As for the losses of the market and the merchants, how about we wait until we have a detailed list to discuss?"
At this time, the Jinyang ancestor of the Yu family said in a deep voice.
"I have no objection."
The ancestor of the Zheng family said immediately.
The three of them will share 50%, which means 5,000 spiritual stones each.
It is more than 2,000 spiritual stones less than the original, which is not a small amount.
"Okay."
Lu Yuanzhong and the ancestor of the Bai family looked at each other, nodded, and stopped while they were ahead.
After all, in this situation, it is good that the Yu family is willing to back down.
After the discussion, Lu Yuanzhong, the ancestor of the Bai family, and the ancestor of the Zheng family left to check the staff of their own shops.
Yu Yuanshan looked at his ancestor unwillingly.
"Ancestor, why should we make such concessions?"
"Even if we don't give in, what can Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang say?"
Yu Yuanshan said.
In his opinion, as long as his family didn't give in, the Lu and Bai families would have to accept the spiritual stones.
After all, this concession would cost an extra 7,500 spirit stones.
Last year, the Yu family had already emptied their family coffers to bid for the foundation-building pills, and they had to tighten their belts to make ends meet.
Now this huge loss has made the already poor family even worse.
"There is no need for our four families to have a gap because of these spirit stones."
"Although Zheng Laogui expressed his positive attitude, he was also reluctant about this amount of spirit stones, so it's okay to take a step back."
"Now that Ning Hu has successfully built a foundation, our Yu family has three foundation-building masters. As long as they slowly accumulate strength, they will have to spit out what they have eaten sooner or later."
Ancestor Jin Yang waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
Chapter 167 Three-color Spiritual Soil, Bai Ling's Talent, and an Unexpected Draw!
In a blink of an eye, seven days passed.
During this time, the market town has been in a state of blockade and alert, and the robbery repairs have been checked.
Lu Changsheng learned from the Lu family that the apparent losses in the market town were not serious and were within an acceptable range.
The main problem is the series of adverse effects brought about by this incident.
In order to reduce the impact and restore popularity and reputation, the four major families have made certain compensation for the losses of the merchants settled in.
And issued a series of preferential and welfare policies.
If all these aspects are taken into account, it is a huge loss.
But even so, the traffic of Hongye Valley Market will show a significant decline.
The reputation and fame built up by the previous auction will also be in vain because of this incident.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it is indeed not easy to run a market. If you encounter a little situation, you may lose money."
After learning about this news, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that the four major families had not made much money from Hongye Valley Market over the years.
The main income was still the income from selling land at the beginning.
But once this incident happened, not only did it spit out a lot of spirit stones.
It also caused the market that had just been on the right track to plummet.
It takes several years, or even more than ten years of operation to regain popularity and get on the right track.
"It seems that this Red Leaf Valley Market will be like this in the short term."
"By the way, if I show my strength and talk to the four major families, can I directly take over this Red Leaf Valley Market and make it my family's spiritual land?"
