Chapter 456 Development

"You said, if people knew that you have been plagiarizing and reselling the resources within the Chamber of Commerce over the years, what will happen to you?"

Li Zhirui's soft voice was like a boulder weighing tens of millions of kilograms, crashing down on the big shopkeeper. The whole person suddenly stopped in place, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear and disbelief.

He did this very secretly, how could he be discovered by others? ! And this is an outsider!

You know, in order to resell resources, he tried every reasonable method. For example, a certain elixir lost its efficacy due to improper storage.

And he was very careful, and controlled every move within a reasonable range, so as not to attract the attention of others at all.

In addition, based on this, he established an interest alliance and connected many people within the chamber of commerce. Everyone covered each other and thought that they had achieved a perfect match.

But Li Zhirui's exposure directly shattered his beautiful illusion!

"You are very confused about how I know this, right?" Li Zhirui said slowly and casually, "Because some of the people you cooperate with are from the Li family."

During the investigation, Li Zhirui found that this big shopkeeper was different from Fu Qinghuan of Xuanfa Pavilion. He was born in a small foundation-building family and attached great importance to it.

Then Li Zhirui planned to start with his family, but found that something was wrong with this small family. Their lifestyle was too luxurious and could not be supported by ordinary small families.

In this case, you don't need to think too much to guess where the problem lies. After all, the only promising person in this small family is the big shopkeeper.

As for why it was not discovered by the Nanya Chamber of Commerce, Li Zhirui thinks it may be that there are interested partners of the big shopkeeper in the middle and senior levels within the chamber of commerce.

Once the Chamber of Commerce is about to investigate, he will immediately tip off the information, and his family will make disguises in time, and the Chamber of Commerce will not be able to find any evidence that the big boss committed the crime.

So Li Zhirui arranged for a few monks to test it secretly and found that the big shopkeeper was really reselling resources.

Li Zhirui has been holding this handle for a long time, but has never found an opportunity to use it. Now is the time.

"Senior is really awesome!" The big shopkeeper smiled bitterly and sat back honestly. He knew that if he didn't give an accurate answer today, the news would probably get out the next day.

Based on his understanding of the Chamber of Commerce, not only him, but also the family behind him will be completely solved by then.

So now he has no second choice but to join in what Li Zhirui wants to do.

"Senior, what are you going to do?"

Li Zhirui glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "I believe that you have many connections within the Chamber of Commerce and have great hands and eyes, so you can definitely complete this matter."

"Okay!" The big shopkeeper was silent for a while, and then said: "But they are all masters who will not let go of rabbits. This part of the expenses will be borne by the Li family. I will not give out a single spiritual stone!"

"Don't worry." Li Zhirui sent the resources he had prepared to the big shopkeeper.

Likewise, the elixir inside was specially added by Li Zhirui.

"The next transportation team will arrive in half a year. If everything goes well, senior will be able to get a Red Sun Grass Spirit Seed by then."

The reason why we have to wait so long is entirely because the distance between the Southern Territory and Qingshan State is too long, and we spend too much time on the road.

Li Zhirui is now a little dissatisfied with this kind of petty fuss. He wants to take this opportunity to get a few more fourth-level spiritual seeds, not only to increase the family's heritage, but also for the fourth-level Baicao elixir that he will create next. Make preparations.

"Senior, you are too greedy!" The big shopkeeper said helplessly: "Among the spiritual objects transported to the Eastern Region from the headquarters, only the Red Sun Grass is of the fourth level, and the others are of the third level."

If a fourth-level spiritual seed is added for no reason, the possibility of exposure is too great. The Nanya Chamber of Commerce might catch him before he even leaves home.

"Forget it, just do your best." Li Zhirui had no choice but to lower the conditions and warned: "If this is the case, you should be careful. After all, I don't want to make a one-time deal."

"I'll leave the matter to you. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Alas!" The big shopkeeper couldn't remember how many times he sighed today.

——

Li Zhirui quietly returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island with a hundred copies of the materials for the Red Sun Treasure Pill. After reporting the situation and progress to Li Shiqing, he went into seclusion again and tried to refine the Red Sun Treasure Pill as soon as possible.

To be honest, the difficulty of refining the Chiyang Pill is not much different from that of the Blue Sky Pill. Li Zhirui, who has already had enough experience, is very confident in refining the pill this time.

After failing more than a dozen times, Li Zhirui reached the last step - becoming a pill, this very important step.

With his fingers flying, Li Zhirui's movements gradually subsided as a thick scent of elixirs filled the air from the elixir furnace.

"Successful!" Li Zhirui took out the elixir and looked at the red elixir carefully.

At the same time, the Li family also began to accelerate its development and growth.

In just one year, the Li family has added fifty new foundation-building monks!

Perhaps for the big forces, this is nothing at all, but for the various small forces, as well as forces like the Li family that are on the rise, it is a very remarkable achievement.

The reason why the Li family broke out suddenly was because of the accumulation over the past many years, so it could explode all at once, but that was it, after all, the foundation of the previous years had been exhausted.

The second reason is because Li Zhirui broke through Nascent Soul! With his breakthrough in cultivation, the level of alchemy has also been greatly improved. Although the Foundation Establishment Pills he is currently refining do not have any pill patterns yet, which are the best Foundation Establishment Pills without erysipelas, they are at least top-grade!

In addition to the foundation-building monks, the overall strength of the Qi Practitioners has also improved a lot.

And this is also closely related to Li Zhirui.

Because during his time in the family, he occasionally took the time to give guidance to the family's alchemists, not to mention that their abilities improved by leaps and bounds, but at least they improved a lot.

As a result, the output of first- and second-level elixirs increased by two or three levels. In addition to selling them externally, the rest was naturally subsidized to the clan members.

Of course, all of this has a lot to do with the family leadership team headed by Li Dayuan.

"Clan leader, five loose cultivator immortal cities have been established in the three outer states, and nearly 100,000 casual cultivators have gathered. This is a huge, untapped market for the family!" At the family meeting, the foreign affairs elder said impassionedly .

"Can the family provide enough spiritual objects?" Li Dayuan asked.

The house elder shook his head, not to mention the manpower problem, even the materials could not be supplied.
