Chapter 401
deep meaning
"Ha ha……"
Li Wan could only laugh at Huang Longxi's self-mockery. .
As a master of Qi Dao, his knowledge of Qi Dao, secret methods, and various insights are beyond the reach of ordinary monks. Although this Huang Longxi is also a child of a family, his knowledge is far wider than that of ordinary casual cultivators, but how would he know? There are so many, especially, the black gold gunpowder and firearm magic weapon are still novelties created by Li Wan based on "Qi Zong Da Dian".
After listening to Li Wan's explanation, Huang Longxi finally understood, but couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and frowned, "Is this too expensive?"
He heard Li Wan say that Lie Wan has 80 spiritual jades and Fire Dragon Pearl has [-] spiritual jades, which are really frighteningly high.
Li Wan still smiled without saying a word.
Seeing Huang Longxi, he coughed in embarrassment and drank tea.
After a while, Huang Longxi confessed to Li Wan, saying that he was going back to contact his clan to discuss the matter.He now lives in a small town outside Kongming Valley. In order to facilitate communication with other forces, Li Wan also set up several communication circles as usual, which can be used very conveniently.
After Huang Longxi left Kongming Valley, he went back full of depression.The clansman who came with him was a young foundation-building monk, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw this: "Uncle, what happened?"
Huang Longxi said: "I'm afraid we will come here for nothing this time."
The young monk couldn't help being shocked: "What, we have already prepared [-] million spirit jades, and we have brought more than a dozen pieces of spirit treasures that masters of craftsmen must like. This is not enough, so Master Li is too greedy." right?"
"What do you know?" Huang Longxi glared at him, "This time the old man almost made a joke, but fortunately, Master Li is kind and didn't deliberately entrap us."
Until now, he still has sympathy.
It would be a joke if I bought a few Thunder Cannons back home according to the original plan, but they couldn't fire them.
Soon, the situation on the Huanglongxi side was learned by the headquarters of the Huang family in Lushan, and everyone in the family couldn't help but keep silent.
They had already estimated the consumption of firearms magic weapons sufficiently, but they never imagined that such a thing as the Thunder Cannon would fire 360 strong pills in one shot, and the ammunition worth nearly one million was shot out.
If the quality is higher, you can also play Fire Dragon Balls, all of which are expensive.
"Li Wan must have falsely reported the cost. How can there be any reason for it being so expensive?"
"That's right, it's too dark, it's unreasonable!"
Huang Yong was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Don't say any more, isn't it just expensive, my Lushan Huang family, I don't care about these things, it's better than ruining the lives of my children for no reason and wasting time."
"But Zongling, this is not ordinary expensive. This gun costs hundreds of thousands or millions. How can the idle family afford it?"
"That's right, no matter how much spirit jade there is, it won't be able to withstand such an expense."
All elders are worried.
Huang Yongdao: "You only see the value of this thing, but I see the benefits of using it!
Killing demons, in addition to gaining merits and helping my Huang family get the spirit peak as soon as possible, there are also demon corpses and mission rewards themselves, which are also wealth. What's more, with such a sharp weapon, we can properly free up manpower and send our children to the Among other key points, there are opportunities to earn it back. "
Moreover, we don't need to completely rely on it to kill the enemy, but just use it as a trump card at a critical moment and keep it as a backup. "
When Huang Yong said this, he looked around and said with a sneer: "Do you think that after buying this thing, you won't even know how to use a sword? Or, having this thing will ruin my Huang family's ethos of advocating strength ?”
"That's not true." Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Some clan elders couldn't help thinking seriously.
Indeed, with a magic weapon like the Thunder Cannon in hand, you can live within your means and use it sparingly.
For example, injuring a strong enemy by surprise, and then killing it with your own strength, there is no need to learn from Li Wan, the artillery roared from the beginning to the end, blasting the monster to pieces.
It can even be kept as a spare, and it can be used when it is critical, such as when it needs to compete with other families.
"Since you have decided to buy it, you should buy it as soon as possible! This item is extremely precious, and Li Wan will definitely not release its secret recipe at will to expand production. Other major families will also try their best to obtain it when they see the convenience of using it to slaughter demons. Therefore, we can only act first." At this time, a member of the Huang family in the conference hall also echoed Huang Yong's statement, "As far as I know, Li Wan had contact with Shenjifang the year before last, the greatest possibility is that It is to release it to them and ask them to produce it on their behalf, but it will not be in his interest to spread it out.”
"There is also Tiangongfang, which may also participate in it, but the combination of these three will definitely not be able to meet the needs of all the sect families in Tiannan, and it will definitely cause a shortage of supply!"
He estimated it according to the most beneficial method for Li Wan, and he was sure that Li Wan would at most cooperate with the two major forces, Shenjifang and Tiangongfang.
But even so, it is far from being able to meet the needs of all the big families. The only possibility is to select allies who can cooperate with them among the big families and spread them in a small area.
In this way, it becomes a beneficial thing to buy what should be bought as soon as possible.
Huang Yong made a final decision: "Okay, let's make a decision based on this, let's send the letter!"
……
Huang Yong's decision was soon conveyed by Huang Longxi.
After reading the letter from the Huang family, Li Wan couldn't help sighing with emotion, "The Huang family knows a lot about me, and even guessed my many plans in the future. It really is a gathering of elites."
Xiao Qingning also ended up with this letter, read it again, and couldn't help asking: "Husband, what are you going to do?"
Li Wandao: "The Huang family's guess is correct. Since the magic weapon of firearms is used in conjunction with the ammunition, the ammunition is a very important thing. But there is something they don't know, that is, this magic weapon of firearms, It’s not something anyone can refine, even if I’m willing to spread it, it’s not that easy.”
Anyway, the Thunder Cannon is also a treasure. Although Li Wan has developed its map, he has not turned it into a real weapon, or even a magic weapon, so it still cannot be popularized.
"What's more, the ammunition refined from black gold gunpowder is amazingly powerful, and the sects will definitely not rest assured..."
Li Wan revealed another reason for restricting the popularity of the thunder cannon weapon.
Xiao Qingning worried: "Then how to solve it?"
Li Wandao: "Didn't I already sell the formula of clay gunpowder to Shenjifang two years ago? I'll let the ammunition refining method out and ask them to use this material to refine cheap ammunition. In short , the black gold gunpowder is still unique to me, and it is absolutely impossible to release it easily!"
Xiao Qingning was taken aback: "In this way, the power of the ammunition will be greatly weakened, and it can only be turned into an ordinary thunderbolt. If you want to kill the monster, you have to consume more ammunition."
Li Wan smiled faintly: "That's exactly what it should be!"
Seeing that Li Wan was not joking, but really intending to do this, Xiao Qingning couldn't help imagining the scene of an ordinary monk using this thing to defeat a powerful demon.
If there is no firearm, it is not easy for a monk in the early stage of alchemy to kill the demon king, and there is even the risk of injury or death, but if there is such a thunder cannon, he can seize the opportunity to pour ammunition, Kill it.
Although it would cost a little more spiritual jade, but the aristocratic family and the sect have countless sources of income, so they don't care about it anymore.
"If it is successfully promoted, each Thunderbolt cannon will cost more than one million yuan if it is used once, and it will cost more than 5000 million if it is used dozens of times a year. Of the [-] million, our own Earn half, Shenjifang earns the other half, and after deducting the cost of refining, each will get [-] million."
Xiao Qingning calculated an account in his heart, and he was taken aback. This is really too huge a profit.
This is the cost of one thunder cannon, so what about ten or one hundred?
Casual cultivators have these, and their usage is different from those of aristocratic families. It is too much to be willing to fire one or two cannons a year. Therefore, this thing cannot be used by ordinary monks. Buy at least three or five, the benefits are amazing.
Li Wan smiled and said: "What you see is still making money, but don't forget, the purpose of my doing this is to ensure the uniqueness of black gold gunpowder. This thing is too powerful, and it sells for tens to a hundred catties every year. , It is already the limit to refine hand-throwing thunderbolt bombs and other things for the major forces, and its money is not easy to make. Using these instead can be regarded as making up for a regret.
However, this is only one of them!My more important purpose is to win over forces like Shenjifang and become a firm ally.
On the other hand, the magic weapon of firearms will become something that the big families who own it both love and hate. They are reluctant to part with this thing, and they have to pay a lot of spiritual jade for it. If it works for me .
This kind of dependent relationship is not much less than the ancient practice of serving under the sect and becoming a vassal of a small family. My Li family in Hushan can definitely grow rapidly through this. "
Ammunition supply is not just a way to make money, but also a way to control other families!
After listening to his explanation, Xiao Qingning couldn't help sighing softly: "The benefits inherent in monopolizing this thing are really astonishing. If it weren't for Tiangongfang's lack of talents in this field, I would like to intercede for them and let you share it. Moisturize."
Li Wan pondered for a while, and said: "Tiangongfang... I have other arrangements, so you can rest assured."
Xiao Qingning blinked her beautiful eyes, a little surprised.
Li Wan smiled lightly: "Qingning, I know how to refine, but it's not just firearms. The magic weapons that monks need to use are only firearms and other things? I have a new Yixi here. Talismans, machine-leading instruments, and spells of hearing are definitely no worse than those firearms and ammunition. Just now I mentioned the Lushan Huang family and other aristocratic families, and it’s time for casual cultivators to turn to these small magic weapons!”
Xiao Qingning suddenly realized: "So it is!"
She became more and more sure that Li Wan's messing with these things really meant a lot. (To be continued.)
Li Wan could only laugh at Huang Longxi's self-mockery. .
As a master of Qi Dao, his knowledge of Qi Dao, secret methods, and various insights are beyond the reach of ordinary monks.
