Chapter 509: Forest of Heavenly Books and Steles
At night, in the courtyard of the Longdan Camp, Lin Muyu held the Star Sword in his hand, looked up at the stars in the sky, absorbed and tempered the star power, and strong King's Fighting Flames were also rotating rapidly on the surface of his body. As the star power tempered by Lin Muyu became stronger and stronger, the strength of the King's Fighting Flames also changed tremendously, and the impact in the sea of qi became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, the surging Dou Qi seemed to break through a layer of clamping in the sea of qi, and quickly penetrated the meridians of the whole body, and an extremely comfortable feeling spread throughout the body.
Breakthrough again.
Lin Muyu was secretly happy. As he practiced the engraving of the Heavenly Book, his mental state of mind became higher and higher. He finally broke through to the realm of the great success of the Holy Trace Realm. The intensity of the King's Fighting Flame was greatly increased by one level.
Before he could finish his happiness, a deep chill suddenly fell from the stars in the sky, and countless starlight surged into his body. Unlike the fiery strength of the Five Mountains falling from the sky and the star lotus turning into armor, this star power was full of coldness. In a blink of an eye, it turned into thousands of stars and continued to fall into Lin Muyu's sea of thought.
"Bang bang bang..."
Lin Muyu's spiritual sense turned into a physical body and flew in the sea of thought, but could only watch countless cold and cold stars falling into the sea of thought, causing huge waves. When the waves stirred in the air, they suddenly solidified and turned into icicles. What a terrible chill, it turned Lin Muyu's sea of thought into a glacier in just two minutes.
In an instant, Lin Muyu's consciousness seemed to be about to be frozen, and she fell into a desperate situation that was almost dead.
"What's going on,."
He was stunned and hurriedly used the king's fighting flame to melt the glacier. Suddenly, a powerful flame rose from the depths of the sea of thought, constantly confronting the coldness of the stars in the sky.
After a long time, just as Lin Muyu was about to be exhausted, the coldness contained in the stars in the sky finally melted slowly, becoming a mysterious frost power controlled by Lin Muyu.
"ah……"
After breathing a lot, Lin Muyu escaped from the sea of thought, her whole body was covered in cold sweat, as if she had almost died and left in purgatory.
But in the exhaustion of almost exhaustion, you can feel an ice force slowly flowing in the sea of qi. Yes, it is a frost-type star power. The fifth style of the Star Art has finally been refined.
He slowly opened his five fingers, and suddenly, the cold stars rotated around his palms, and the ice was filled with mist. The next moment, Lin Muyu suddenly retracted his five fingers, and the ice power suddenly surged in all directions. The destructive power of the fifth style of the Star Art is very amazing, the snow and ice.
The surrounding area has become an extremely cold field, and thick frost condensed on the ground. The old banyan tree that has revived and sprouted because of the life-based book also instantly turned into an ice tree. With a "pop", the ice tree turned into powder and broke into pieces. It can be imagined that if humans approached Lin Muyu, they would still die in the extremely cold field of the snow and ice, and the death would be very tragic, turning into broken ice and dying.
An endless feeling of fatigue surged into his heart, and he couldn't care about it anymore. He fell asleep when he returned to the room. Only rest and sleep could replenish the lost spiritual power and the king's fighting flames.
...
The next day, Zetian Palace.
Qin Yin finally passed the resolution to auction the Tianshu embryo. The three licensed chambers of commerce in the imperial capital can sell the Tianshu embryos written by Tianshu in the auction house. The three major chambers of commerce are: Ziyin Flower Chamber of commerce, Xunlong Chamber of commerce, and Wansheng Chamber of commerce. This also means that the empire no longer monopolizes the resources for engraving of verses in heaven, but if you want to bring the Tianshu embryos out of the city, you must have the permission orders of the Tianshu Pavilion and the Imperial Guard.
The Tianshu Pavilion is full of personnel, and it is not difficult to obtain the Tianshu Pavilion license order, but it is difficult to obtain the signature license order of Feng Jixing, the leader of the imperial guards. Therefore, even though the three major merchant alliances began to auction the Tianshu Books, the result was still the same. The Tianshu Artifact Embryo can only be circulated in Lanyan City, and the final result will still be used by the empire.
In the afternoon, the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce released news that it would sell three low-quality books, seven spiritual books, and eleven human books in three days. Of course, these heavenly books all came from Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin. They did not join the Heavenly Book Pavilion, and the heavenly books engraved belonged only to themselves and could be sold at will.
But as a result, the other major chambers of commerce were a little unable to sit still.
...
Late at night, a group of guards stood outside the hall with steel knives, while the candlelight in the hall was swaying, and a large pot was boiling broth, and a basket of wild vegetables were placed next to it.
Su Muyun and Su Yu sat opposite each other, and there were two other people on the side, one was Liu Xin, the owner of Wansheng Chamber of Commerce, and the other was his daughter Liu Rou, a girl who was eighteen years old, wearing a purple dress, which was so beautiful.
"Ahem..."
Liu Xin's face looked a little ugly and said, "It's rare that your highness has the leisure to eat hot pot here. Jin Xiaotang is about to grab all the wealth of our Wansheng Chamber of Commerce in Lanyan City. Over the past few months, they have opened iron shops, rice shops, silk shops, etc., and constantly absorbed those weaker business alliances to join. The entire Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce is already huge enough to compete with the original imperial capital business. Now they have announced that they will sell the Tianshu Craftsmanship in three days. I'm afraid that in the near future, the economic lifeline of the entire empire will be controlled by Jin Xiaotang and Lin Muyu."
"Boss Liu, don't be anxious." Su Muyun smiled slightly: "I'll eat my fill first. As for Jin Xiaotang and the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce, let them do it first, it doesn't matter."
"How can you say it doesn't matter..." Liu Xin couldn't help but stand up, her face turned red and said: "The business of Wansheng Chamber of Commerce is getting worse and worse. The profit this month is only about 80% of the previous month. If this continues, I'm afraid... we will be really done."
“No.”
Su Muyun comforted: "In three days, a batch of goods will be shipped from Yunzhong Province, including at least eight low-grade books, nearly thirty spiritual books, and nearly a hundred personal books. Isn't this enough to make Wansheng Chamber of Commerce turn over?"
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment: "How...how is it possible? How could there be so many heavenly book embryos outside Lanyan City."
Liu Rou was also surprised and said, "Yes..."
Su Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple. My father started to collect talents in Yunzhong Province a month ago to carve heavenly books, and sent people to establish the 'Literary Pavilion' in Muyu City to recruit talents from all over the world. Now there are more than 300 literati in the Literary Pavilion, so it is not surprising that he has written so many heavenly books.
"Ha ha……"
Su Muyun stroked his white beard lightly and said, "Boss Liu, do you have any objections now?"
"No...no..." Liu Xin nodded repeatedly: "Your Highness is indeed far-sighted, and I admire you very much."
"Let's eat, you will have the energy to do things after you are full."
"yes."
"By the way, when will the new war horse that the Iron Blade Army needs be delivered?"
"Bei Mo is too far from Lanyan City, and it will take about one month to arrive. Five thousand good horses are all first-class war horses in Bei Mo. Your Highness will definitely not be disappointed."
"Okay, I'll remember you for your merit."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
...
Three days later, the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce was as crowded as expected, and its business was a bit scary. Since this was the first time that the engravings of heavenly books were sold in the imperial capital, almost all major families had sent people. The significance of engravings of heavenly books is to intimidate. If some brave and cruel playboys held the embryo of the book, others would probably be afraid of him. The auction house also grasped the bad roots in human nature, so that their business was booming.
In the end, the transaction prices of the three heavenly book embryos were 230W, 270W and 180W respectively, while the prices of spiritual books were mostly around 20W. Human books were cheaper and could be bought around 50W, but this still made Lin Muyu a big profit.
The first auction of the Heavenly Book Artifact Embroidery also made the people in the Heavenly Book Pavilion look red. The treatment of a literati-level scholar is only 3,000 gold coins per month, and a local book can be sold for about 200,000 yuan. You should know that even if a literati has a low output, he can always write a local book within half a year. The transaction price of a local book is enough for his glory and wealth for his whole life.
However, those people still flocked to enter the Tianshu Pavilion. After all, only those who entered the Tianshu Pavilion could be granted titles. Otherwise, they would be just a businessman and would never have the opportunity to glorify their ancestors.
...
The next afternoon, a row of people entered Lanyan City. Xu Jiantao from Wugu City led a thousand cavalry back to the imperial capital. Since becoming the governor of Cangnan Province, Xu Jiantao spent most of his time in Wugu City.
After entering the city, Xu Jiantao did not go to Zetian Palace first, but came to Longdan Camp to meet Lin Muyu. After all, Lin Muyu, the Yunling Marquis, was the master of Cangnan Province.
In the hall, Xu Jiantao came with three thousand men and women, clasped his fists and said, "Commander, Xu Jiantao is here."
"The general is exempted from gifts. What gift did he bring to the Gentian Camp this time?"
"There is no gift, but there is one bill."
"Oh, what bill."
Xu Jiantao smiled slightly and presented a piece of parchment paper, saying: "The mineral resources in Cangnan Province are very rich. With our vigorous investigation, we have recently discovered three Xuanjin mines, seven Xuanyin mines, four Xuangong mines, and more than a dozen Xuanyin mines have been found. His Highness the Empress has already approved us to mine ores in the name of Wugucheng. This is the list of this month. We have refined a total of 300 kilograms of low-quality Xuanjin powder, nearly one thousand kilograms of Xuanyin powder, black copper powder, and countless black iron powders."
Lin Muyu was very happy: "Xiao Yin and I have a secret agreement. 30% of these minerals are submitted to the Ministry of Revenue, and the rest are kept by themselves. You can secretly send them to Jin Xiaotang for sale to enrich our funds."
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
As he said that, Xu Jiantao suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "By the way, the patrol cavalry of the Longtan Camp stationed in Wugu City recently caught a rogue who was wandering around the world."
"Rons." Lin Muyu was stunned: "How wavy is it."
"It's not very rude, but he brings us a very important news."
"What news."
"The Heavenly Book Stele Forest is real. It is in the mountains west of the Sunset City of Xunbai Province. The rogue once wandered to the White Leaf Forest. He saw those stone tablets and was almost eaten by a powerful spirit beast. After pretending to be dead, the spirit beast escaped without eating the body. It is said that the Heavenly Book Stele Forest records some ancient divine texts, which are the holy places that scholars dream of, but the Heavenly Book Stele Forest is rampant and full of dangers, so the literati who has no power to tie a chicken cannot enter at all."
As he said that, Xu Jiantao took a deep breath and said, "It is said that the people of Yihe Kingdom are also secretly preparing to enter the Tianshu Stele Forest."
"I see……"
