One month later.

Chen Daoxuan returned to Shuanghu Island on a cargo ship loading with spiritual rice.

When he saw Uncle Thirteen who was full of anticipation, he bowed to Chen Xianhe and smiled and said, "Uncle Thirteen, Daoxuan will not be disgraceful of his mission! The magic weapon market in the casual cultivator market will belong to my Chen family in the future."

Hearing this, he saw Chen Daoxuan’s young but tired face.

Chen Xianhe’s heart was mixed, and she didn’t know what it felt.

He opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

It took a long time.

He patted Chen Daoxuan on the shoulder hard and sighed: "Child, thank you for your hard work!"

Chen Daoxuan grinned and shook his head: "Compared to Uncle Thirteen who has been supporting the family for so many years, what Daoxuan does today is nothing."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xianhe patted his shoulder hard again without saying a word.

......

Shuanghu Island Spirit Vein.

Chen Daoxuan's mansion.

The monks from the Chen family's Qi Refining Stage and above sat upright in the courtyard where Chen Daoxuan practiced on a daily basis.

However, according to Chen Daoxuan's eyes.

Among these monks.

Except for him and Chen Xianhe, they are all underage.

Even the oldest Chen Daochuan is less than twelve years old now.

Not to mention that the youngest monk is only six years old.

Seeing this scene.

Chen Daoxuan thought for a while and said, "Chen Daochuan, Chen Daolian, and Chen Daochu stayed, and the rest should go back to practice."

As he said that, he waved to everyone.

Hearing this.

The young monk of the Chen family cheered and ran away in a flash.

Chen Daochu saw everyone leaving with wind, his eyes were full of envy.

Chen Daoxuan glanced at him and said, "Why, do you want to go back too?"

"No, no!"

Chen Daochu shook his head suddenly and immediately sat upright.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Daoxuan pursed his lips.

Chen Xianhe smiled and said, "Okay, don't blame your young clan leader for being harsh. You are a little older, so you should know that I have few Chen monks.

You must take the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of your family, instead of just having fun all day long.”

A reprimand is neither light nor heavy.

Chen Daochu and the other two nodded one after another and said, "We will keep in mind the teachings of the clan leader and the young clan leader."

Seeing that everyone was concentrated, Chen Daoxuan coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Today's meeting is the first family meeting composed entirely of monks that my Chen family has held in 50 years.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a historic moment for my Chen family.”

Hearing this, Chen Daochu and others had not had a deep feeling, but Chen Xianhe's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

then.

This is how he and his clan brothers gathered together and held a clan meeting about the future development of the Chen family.

Unfortunately, everything is like passing clouds and smoke, no longer the same as before.

"There are only two issues to be discussed in this family meeting today, family income and expenditure and family development in the next year."

Speaking of this, Chen Daoxun paused, "Next, let the patriarch talk about the income of our family in Guang'an Mansion's magic weapon store over the past year."

After saying that, Chen Daoxuan looked at Chen Xianhe and found that the other party was distracted. He couldn't help but reminded him in a low voice: "Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Thirteen..."

"ah!"

Chen Xianhe came to his senses and said a little embarrassedly on his face, "I'm fine, well, I'll talk about the income of Hongyin Feijian Store over the past year.

The last year.

The Hongyin Feijian Store sold a total of 2,050 first-class low-quality Feijians, with revenue of 102,500 spirit stones. After deducting taxes and fees, the total revenue was 92,250 spirit stones."

On the side, Chen Daoxuan continued to add: "In addition to the business in Guang'an Mansion, the business between the family and the mermaids is the main source of income. Over the past year, we have traded with the mermaids for a total of five times, and sold a total of 1,020 flying swords, making profits of the spirit ore, and the water spirit beads are worth nearly one million.

But these things are not easy to take action for the time being, and they can only accumulate in the clan curriculum.”

It’s easy to say that the Chen family sells it or uses its refining magic tools to sell it, which is a good way to cash out.

Only the Water Spirit Pearl, the Chen family is not good at taking a lot of action.

Because in Guang'an Prefecture, only the Zhou family has a large number of water spirit beads for sale.

Once the Chen family reveals that they have a large number of water spirit beads, they will not attract themselves and have transactions with the mermaids.

Although Qianyuan Sword Sect does not explicitly stipulate that it is impossible to trade with aliens, the exposure of transactions with aliens is always despised and affects the reputation of the Chen family.

not to mention.

The Shuilingzhu business is unique to the Zhou family. If the Chen family rashly intervenes, it will be a big deal to touch the Zhou family.

At that time, once the Zhou family is furious, even Zhou Mucheng will not be able to protect his Chen family.

Chen Daoxuan naturally understood this principle.

So for a long time in the future, Chen Daoxuan will not touch the business of the Water Spirit Pearl. He will only use it for the Chen family monks, or give some gifts.

Unless one day the Chen family's strength completely surpasses the Zhou family.

After a pause, Chen Daoxuan continued: "This wealth worth 1.1 million spirit stones is the entire income of the Chen family this year.

After talking about income, let’s talk about expenditure.

This year, my Chen family has a lot of income, but the expenditure is not low.

First of all, the big head is the consumption of the flying sword factory. Among them, the expansion of the flying sword factory, the addition of the spiritual furnace, the consumption of the spiritual stones of the spiritual furnace itself, and the largest expense, the consumption of the spiritual ore.

These expenses add up to about 114,425 spirit stones.”

"Wow!"

Hearing this number, even Chen Daochu and others had to exclaim.

Chen Xianhe twitched even more in pain.

In just one year, a small flying sword factory swallowed more than a first-level spiritual vein.

Moreover, this year, the consumption of Feijian Factory before the production capacity has been increased.

Starting this year, the consumption of the Feijian Factory will increase by five or six times.

In other words, next year, the Feijian Factory will consume more than 100,000 spirit stones, but 500,000 and 600,000 spirit stones.

Ignore everyone's surprised expression.

Chen Daoxuan continued: "In addition to the Feijian Factory, the second largest expenditure of my Chen family is the consumption of my Chen family's cultivation."

Talking about the consumption of cultivation of the Chen family’s children.

Even Chen Daoxuan felt a little distressed.

Unlike Feijian Factory, although it eats more, it earns more.

There will be no reward for cultivating Chen family monks in the short term, and in the future, this expenditure will increase exponentially as the group of Chen family monks expands.

"The Chen family currently has one monk of the immortal generation and ten monks of the Tao generation.

Among them, the spirit stones consumed by monks of the Immortal Citizen last year were... Zero."

Speaking of this, Chen Daoxuan's eyes turned slightly red.

Although the family's economy is now abundant, Chen Xianhe is still unwilling to spend spiritual stone cultivation.

According to Chen Xianhe, he is old and has no hope of building a foundation. Even if he breaks through to the late stage of Qi refining, it will be meaningless and will not help the family's strength.

It is better to save the spirit stones and give more promising Taoist monks.

After taking a deep breath and calming down his mood, Chen Daoxuan continued: "The average cultivation consumption of each monk of the Dao generation reaches 3025 spirit stones, and the total consumption is 30250 spirit stones.

The most consumed part is the expense on the spiritual rice.”

That’s right, all the monks of the Chen family name chose to practice the body refining technique of "Dragon Python Swallowing Heaven".

This is also the decision made by Chen Daoxuan after careful consideration.

Compared with the spirit stone, the Chen family lacks the most nowadays the cultivators who stand alone. Chen Daoxuan naturally tried every means to enhance the strength of the cultivators in the clan.

Practicing body training techniques is a good choice.

Because practicing body refining techniques can increase the efficiency of refining spiritual energy, although the increase is not obvious, it is far less rapid than the elixirs.

But even if it increases by 10%, it will make considerable progress over time.

For this reason, even if he spent more spiritual stones, Chen Daoxuan would spare no effort.

"The remaining expenditure also includes the recent purchase of spiritual rice that cost 30,000 spirit stones, and the purchase of spiritual rice transport ships cost 800 spirit stones...

Last year, the total expenditure of our Chen family reached 169,479 spirit stones, and the residual spirit stones were about 920,000. Of course, most of these spirit stones were stored in the clan library with spirit ore and water spirit beads.
