The commerce association possesses capital.
At present, each family is contributing fifty thousand taels, which is quite a large sum, but capital is linked with returns.
No matter how much you grit your teeth, you have to cough it up.
Thus, the entire commerce association now has three hundred thousand taels of silver.
This amount of silver, when mentioned, is enough to shock people.
A whole three hundred thousand taels!
It feels more shocking when using the traditional characters.
One tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand coins, roughly a thousand bucks from a past life, enough to buy two big buns or one big meat bun.
Three hundred thousand taels is equivalent to three billion, the initial fusion alone has three billion, which is really frightening in efficiency.
Yuchi is the latest to receive this money, but also the most distant.
The accounts of the commerce association are managed by an accountant from each family, and all accounts are reconciled once every seven days.
For the accountants, this is a nightmare.
But for the six major families, this is the best news.
Whenever a family is short of funds, they can borrow money from the commerce association.
Three months interest-free, after that, there's a certain interest each month.
This interest is much lower than the pawnshops and money houses in Xufu Town, and the procedures are incredibly simple.
For each family, this is using small money to do big things.
Therefore, under the premise that the six major families have absolute control, President Yuchi led the planning.
Once the plan is proposed.
The six families sign their approval, and the plan can be executed.
Yuchi naturally has his own little schemes.
He needs to use the commerce association to push out his Immortal Robe Pavilion!
The Immortal Robe Pavilion is the real deal.
He can't be running around for nothing without getting any benefits.
So this is a really good thing, from Yuchi's perspective, to make the Wei Family solely responsible for pushing out an Immortal Robe Pavilion.
That's really tough.
It's different with the whole Xufu Town.
He might even get a chance to speak with the officials and have a centennial brand or something.
...
Half an hour later, the sky was bright.
"This bad guy, I really want to crawl into his head and see how he thinks."
Leaving the Wei Mansion, Changsun Mei had some small sentiments.
Now, the entire Xufu Town was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Indeed.
If Yuchi really is a "wise ruler," Xufu Town might really step out step by step.
If that really happens, Yuchi would undoubtedly be the greatest contributor.
Fame and fortune!
This is still when Changsun Mei doesn't know that Yuchi is backed by the Ascension Gate, otherwise, if she knew he has a sect.
Still as the Sect Leader.
How would she think?
She might not be able to hold back, dragging Yuchi to bed, wanting to have kids, eight of them.
And now.
She was riding in a carriage along the streets of Xufu Town.
Yuchi thought it was just right that Changsun Mei came over, so he handed this task over to her, originally meant for his older or second brother.
So Changsun Mei had a mission.
Need to deliver this message to the patriarchs of other families.
"It's a bit troublesome now. I still need to run around."
"But the bad guy said the office for the United Commerce Association is already in the process of site selection."
"Once the office of the United Commerce Association is established, communication among the families will be more convenient."
In the next hour.
Changsun Mei visited five families.
The five families definitely agreed.
They've long been annoyed by these small families, who after failing to compete openly, resorted to various backhanded tricks.
Really annoying.
Now seizing the opportunity, wipe them out directly!
So in the afternoon, Yuchi had an extra piece of paper in his hand.
A paper with the seals of the six families, this was the first appointment letter of the Xufu Town United Commerce Association.
With the appointment letter, Yuchi could then go to the Twelve Linked Huts.
But no rush.
"Haven't returned to the Ascension Gate for some time."
"Go back and take a look."
"It'll get increasingly busy in the future, and there won't be time to take care of these young ladies."
Yuchi returned to his bedroom and tucked the appointment letter into his clothing.
Seeing him again, he was already inside the Ascension Gate.
...
The Ascension Gate is truly a nice place.
Surrounded by innumerable towering mountains, layer upon layer, hiding the sky and covering the sun, yet still visible is the mist hovering over the mountain streams.
Hmm…
If a mortal lived here, when they grew old, they would definitely end up with cold old legs for sure.
Two small houses glistened under the sunshine, looking very beautiful.
On a clear stone brick ground at the mountainside, some misty rain was falling, soft and silky.
Seeing two young ladies focusing on their cultivation.
Yuchi sat down on a stone, appreciating the sight of the young ladies cultivating.
Actually, he was quite envious.
He also wants to cultivate step by step, to become stronger.
To avoid being entangled in many mundane affairs.
But his talent is just like that.
And is there an elixir in the Immortal Stone that can improve one's talent?
Yes.
But it's terrifyingly expensive.
Yuchi glanced at the amount of Dao points needed to consume this elixir and completely gave up.
The astronomical figures one dares not even begin to count the zeros.
Is this the gold and silver needed to defy fate?
Forget it.
Even if he can't learn any cultivation techniques, it doesn't matter. Absolute combat power, one force to break ten ways, also works.
He'd rather honestly earn money for the sect.
At least he's sure these two disciples aren't ungrateful.
Quite good.
It was Xu Feiling who first noticed Yuchi.
The young girl was about the same age as Yuchi and had trained for some time. Now she has the strength of the fourth level of the Mortal Realm.
The gift of Thunder Spirit Root is no joke.
When she noticed Yuchi, she was initially puzzled for a moment, then realizing, she immediately felt nervous.
And a little shy!
When did Sect Leader Senior Brother come over, watching me secretly like this, does he have feelings for me?
Well!
That might not be a bad thing!
Then…
Then how was my aura just now when I was cultivating?
Was it very nice, or was it just like after I fell asleep…
Thinking about the dead pig look most people have after falling asleep, Xu Feiling panicked a bit!
In stories, the maidens just waking up are all kinds of unparalleled beauties, but in reality, they have sleep in their eyes, and their faces are blank.
Oh no!
Did Sect Leader Senior Brother see me at my most disheveled state!
Her little confusion also caught the attention of Shen Qinghan.
She opened her eyes, ready to wield her senior sister's authority to make Xu Feiling practice well!
When she saw Yuchi smiling at her.
The little girl ran over excitedly!
"Sect Leader Senior Brother!"
She greeted him sweetly with a bow!
Bright eyes and bright teeth, cultivation really changes a person's demeanor from inside out.
Shen Qinghan now had the look of a clever young girl.
Her body was developing quite reliably.
It seems the increase of Spiritual Qi can help her slowly grow her body.
"Not bad, already at the ninth level." Yuchi casually took out a Qi Cultivation Pill.
Unlike the previous Yuan Absorption Pill, a Qi Cultivation Pill can be used when at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm.
Moreover, it greatly helps cultivators to increase the Spiritual Qi in their Sea of Qi.
Its price is also very high, consuming a thousand Dao points, and in the outside world is a thousand-tael elixir.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother is the best in the world!"
The little girl was delighted.
Holding the Qi Cultivation Pill in both hands, she couldn't contain her smile while gazing at the perfect pill pattern on the Qi Cultivation Pill.
Feeling happiness from the inside out.
She secretly vowed that she must let Sect Leader Senior Brother receive repayment!
Otherwise, would she still be a human!
"This is a Qi Cultivation Pill; it can only be consumed at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm, and you are now at the ninth level."
"Patiently cultivate."
"With the one-month effect of the Qi Cultivation Pill, it should help you smoothly progress into the Qi Cultivation Realm."
Little Qinghan listened with a nod like a pecking chick, wowed at the elixir in her hand.
"This must be very expensive!" Shen Qinghan couldn't help but ask.
"If you can break through, it's not a problem." Yuchi smiled.
"Mhm!"
Xu Feiling stood enviously at a distance.
Sour!
Really sour!
So envious!
Qi Cultivation Pill, she knows it.
Each costs a thousand taels, all the money she has seen in her life combined, isn't even a thousand taels!
So annoying!
So sour!
Sour as if she'd eaten sour plums.
