Chapter 51 Carrying a loan of 150 million spiritual stones

Henry Zhang watched the bouncing Zhang Miaoke go away.

"Why did the Ten Clan elders send such a girl over to discuss business? You should ask me to lower the price. Give her 250 acres of spiritual land. Maybe I will agree." Henry Zhang muttered.

Henry Zhang walked out of the door and saw Zhang Sanqian standing aside.

"Uncle Sanqian, did you hear what the old men of the ten clans just said?"

Zhang Sanqian smiled slightly and said, "I heard it even outside the door."

"What do you mean?"

"No change." Zhang Sanqian said directly.

"Oh? Isn't Uncle Sanqian the best at doing business? Why not do such a cost-effective business?"

"If the temple owner only wants to be a rich man, he can guard the 200 acres of spiritual land, but if he wants to develop into a powerful force comparable to the elders of the nine major clans in the future, Jiuding Lake must be captured."

"Hahaha... the one who knows me is Uncle Sanqian."

"I have learned a lot about Jiuda Lake in the early stage. This is some information about Jiuding Lake. Please take a look at the temple owner." Zhang Sanqian handed over a jade slip.

"Uncle Sanqian really does have a beautiful heart, he even thought of this."

"After all, if we want to live in Jiuhufang for a long time, we must do some understanding." Zhang Sanqian said modestly.

Henry Zhang took the jade slip, his consciousness was immersed, and all the information about Jiuding Lake appeared in his mind.

He slowly digested the information.

This lake is called Jiuding Lake because it is shaped like a nine-legged tripod.

The nine feet are the nine springs of Jiuding Lake.

Every noon, spiritual energy spurts out from the nine springs and overflows throughout the lake.

Jiuding Lake is rich in spiritual energy and contains many aquatic spiritual beasts.

The most precious thing is the clam.

Most of the spiritual pearls bred by spiritual clams are water-attributed spiritual objects, which are extremely rare spiritual materials for people with water-attributed spiritual roots.

These spiritual beads are famous far and wide, and even the Shangzong's purchasing caravan will specify the purchase of spiritual beads.

With the accumulation of experience in raising spiritual clams in Zhangjiaji, everyone discovered that spiritual clams can not only cultivate water-attribute spiritual beads, but also spiritual beads with other attributes can be cultivated through artificial intervention.

This kind of spirit bead is called a strange spirit bead, and its value is dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary spirit beads.

The origins of the strange spirit beads are different, and their spirituality is also completely different. Many types of strange spirit beads have their own unique names.

For example, some are called tiger tooth beads, some are called ice beads, some are called water silk beads, some are called red lip beads, etc.

When the clam swallows a red-spotted tiger tooth, over time, there is a one percent chance of condensing a tiger tooth bead, which has the effect of condensing blood energy.

The Water Silk Bead is produced by a spiritual clam swallowing a first-order Water Silk Spirit Grass, but the chance is less than one in a thousand.

Water silk beads have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and they are valuable but not marketable.

As for the red lip beads, they were created when a clam swallowed the lotus seeds of the Nine-Son Spirit Lotus. It is a fire-attributed spiritual object because it contains two pieces of true fire from the lotus and looks like lips, hence its name.

When Henry Zhang saw this, he sighed and said: "I was almost deceived by that girl's movie just now. She didn't even mention the matter of the strange spirit bead."

What he didn't know was that the reason why Zhang Miaoke didn't mention the strange spirit bead was because the investment in conceiving the strange spirit bead was too great, and the gain outweighed the loss. Except for a few wealthy clan elders, basically no one in Qiangzhi would put their thoughts on it. Conceive the strange spirit bead.

Henry Zhang continued to read about Jiuding Lake.

The others are the same as Zhang Miaoke's introduction. Planting the Nine-Son Spirit Lotus, Spirit Fish and Spirit Shrimp also account for a large part of the income.

"Uncle Sanqian, let's go see our own Jiuding Lake first." Henry Zhang said.

"it is good."

The two of them took the two-winged flying leopard and arrived at Jiuding Lake in a short while.

Jiuding Lake has a radius of dozens of miles, a vast water area, and the lake is bottomless.

"Lord of the Lake, come here!" Henry Zhang shouted.

A short, fat man with a mustache trotted over.

"Zhang Dajiang pays homage to the elders of the Ten Clans." The short, fat man said respectfully.

"Jiuding Lake belongs to me now, do you know?"

"I know, I know..." Zhang Dajiang said while rubbing his hands.

"Now bring over Jiuding Lake's account books."

"Yes."

After a while, Zhang Dajiang came over holding a thick account book.

Henry Zhang began to read page by page.

The entire Jiuding Lake has a radius of 53 miles and is located between Sanbao Lake and Qinglian Lake. There are 183 shops around it.

Seeing this, Henry Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad..."

But as he flipped through the account books, Henry Zhang's face became more and more ugly.

After flipping through the account books, Henry Zhang slapped the table and said angrily: "Zhang Dajiang, you are so bold, are you deducting my Linghu income without permission?"

Zhang Dajiang said hurriedly: "Elder of the clan, you are wronged, you are wronged!"

"Unjustly? For such a big Jiuding Lake, instead of generating any revenue for decades, it actually loses 1 spiritual stones every year. You still say you are unjustly accused!"

"The elders of the clan don't know. One-third of the waters of Jiuding Lake are planted with Nine-Son Spirit Lotus. This was also the order given by the clan leader at that time. These Nine-Son Spirit Lotus are not mature yet and must be fertilized every year. They occupy a large area of ​​the lake. Partially in deficit.”

"How long have you been planting the Nine-Son Spirit Lotus?"

"It's been thirty years."

The Nine-Son Linglian takes ninety years to mature. When Henry heard that it had been planted for thirty years, his face looked better.

"I know everything. After the handover, you can go back to the inner assembly." Henry Zhang said.

Zhang Dajiang stood there motionless, as if he had an unspeakable expression.

"What are you still doing here?" Henry Zhang asked.

Zhang Dajiang said cautiously: "Elder of the Ten Clan, it's like this. There is no problem in leaving Jiuding Lake to you, but the clan's thirty years of investment in cultivating the Nine Sons Spirit Lotus needs, needs..."

"What do you need?" Henry Zhang asked with a frown.

"I need to pay from you, the elder of the Ten Clans."

"Now, not only have I not entered the project, I also have to pay for the initial investment of these Nine Sons Spiritual Lotus?"

"The ten clansmen have to calm down and don't have to pay. However, all the Nine-Son Spiritual Lotuses that have been growing for thirty years must be uprooted and returned to the clan treasury."

After hearing this, Henry Zhang felt a little thump in his heart.

These Nine-Son Spirit Lotus were indeed cultivated by the clan, and they had suffered losses for many years because of this, so there was nothing wrong with taking them away.

But he really couldn't bear it.

"If we keep these Nine-Son Spirit Lotus, how many spirit stones will we need to pay to the clan?"

"The annual investment is clearly recorded in the account books. The total amount added up to 150 million spiritual stones in thirty years."

"150 million spirit stones?" Henry Zhang was surprised.

"Yes, the annual investment in cultivating the Nine Sons Spiritual Lotus is around 5 spirit stones. There is nothing we can do about it."

"I don't have so many spirit stones. Can I owe them first, and then return the spirit stones to the clan when I have enough money?" Henry Zhang said in embarrassment.

"Yes, you can, but you have to repay it in installments with interest."

"What is repayment with interest in installments?" Henry Zhang asked.

"1 cent profit per month, pay off in 10 years, and a spiritual stone every month."

"so much?"

"Elder of the clan, 1 cent interest is already the lowest interest rate for borrowing spiritual stones from the clan. Ordinary people borrowing spiritual stones from the clan pay 5 cents interest."

"Okay, okay, let's calculate the profit at 1 cent."

"This is a document. Please ask the clan elders to sign and pledge it." Zhang Dajin handed over a spiritual stone loan contract.
