        "Dear fellow Taoists, the last two horses are the racehorses bred by the vassal forces of the Celestial Snake Sect, but there is a slight difference between their racehorses and the Green Young horse.

       "Black Supreme Elder, the peak-level immortal armor of the mixed monster land... Hold it tight, hold it tight!"

    Unexpectedly, an incident occurred while Zhong Ningyao was introducing.

    The celestial armor horses in the racehorse preparation area, Black Supreme Elder, burst out suddenly, biting at a green steed beside it.

    It was clad in snake scales, had sharp teeth, and bit the poor Green Young horse loudly.

    "Shameless! Celestial Armor Horse, it's more appropriate to call it a Snake Skin Horse!" Hui Guo angrily cursed.

    This girl has been accompanying Zhou Yingxi as a companion, and since childhood, she has also been well-fed and protected, so she has a simple emotional attachment to the Tianshe Sect, a competitor of the Hongdao.

    The Tianshe Sect worships the Celestial Snake, and outsiders refer to them as the Celestial Snake, but they themselves refer to the Celestial Snake as the Celestial Fairy.

    The power and blood of the Celestial Fairy has influenced many living beings within the range of the Tianshe Sect, for example, this celestial armor horse is naturally born with snake scales.

    Within the range of the Tianshe Sect, in order to show respect to the so-called Celestial Fairy, they refer to this snake-scaled horse as celestial armor horse.

    Now, the raging celestial armor horse of the Tianshe Sect is biting the green steed of the Hongdao, and the spectators on the grandstand immediately became angry.

    They are clearly the cattle and horses under the Hongdao's control, belonging to the Hongdao's cabbage, a major refiner's cabbage, but they have a sense of anger that is similar to Hui Guo's.

    Hearing the curses from the grandstand, Yu Lou feared that Zhong Ningyao would not be able to control the situation, so he transmitted his voice.

    "Introduce the second horse directly, don't let them show off on the field, start after the introduction."

    By the way, remember to penalize Black Supreme Elder by making it start late for three breaths when it behaves like this.”

    Now, Yu Lou has also reached the cultivation level of Qiguan Seven Layers, possesses spiritual awareness, and it is very convenient to transmit voice.

    After hearing Yu Lou's voice guidance, Zhong Ningyao calmed down and used her cultivation and magical power to speak, suppressing the audience's curses.

    "Dear fellow Taoists, there was a slight accident. Good, it won't be shown on the track. Let's directly introduce the second horse."

    Domineering King, the peak-level celestial armor horse of the mixed monster realm, from the Tianshe Sect.

    The race is about to start, hold down Black Supreme Elder and penalize it by making it start late for three breaths!"

    The spectators on the grandstand received the feedback, and their involvement was at its peak. They immediately cheered loudly.

    With Zhong Ningyao's command, the racehorses shot off from the preparation area.

    Just a moment ago, Black Supreme Elder was crazy and had no limit, but now seeing the other horses running away while it couldn't move at all, it was so angry that smoke was coming out of its head.

    The racehorses in the field were chasing each other, but on the grandstand, Yu Lou was whispering to Zhou Yingxi in secret with his spiritual awareness.

    "Yingxi friend, I would like to invite you to Zhiwei Fang tonight to try the new-killed spiritual horse meat. Do you have time?"

    Yu Lou initiated the private chat first.

    "You agreed to become a son-in-law?" Zhou Yingxi didn't move his body, but inside he was startled.

    "No, your Zhou family's people have bought many contracts at Dahua Fang. Does this mean that you think the war between Miao Feng Mountain and the Valley Spirit Sect will escalate?"

    "Dahua Fang" is the name of the Contract Exchange. This store is officially known as a bulk distributor.

    However, the wholesale price is only slightly lower than the market price, which is a price that would be easy to lose for anyone coming to wholesale.

    The actual business of this store is to facilitate contract transactions for related goods, and through this business, the Wang family has made a lot of money over the years.

    However, besides earning spirit stones, Dahua Fang has a special function - Spring River Water Warm Duck Knows First.

    Dahua Fang is not a duck; it specializes in contract negotiation and transaction for goods needed for wars.

    Through observing the main parties involved in the transaction, the amount of funds invested, and historical profit and loss data, Yu Lou has obtained many information that are not known to others.

    For example, which sects and families are secretly supporting the Valley Spirit Sect, which are tripping up the Miao Feng Mountain, and so on.

    The Zhou family has never been extensively involved in such contract transactions, and Yu Lou knew that Zhou Yingxi would occasionally play around with them, but only for fun.

    Yesterday, one of the servants of the Zhou family came to Qingxi Fang and spent the whole day buying contracts, which exceeded four million spirit stones in total value.

    And today, he came again, and swept the goods for half a morning.

    The Zhou family is a Purple Mansion fairy clan, and they are also a Purple Mansion fairy clan within the Hongdao.

    Their sudden behavior represents something behind it.

    How can Yu Lou not be worried.

    "How am I supposed to know... Wang Yulou, don't tell me you're not aware of how much I've lost with you!"

    Zhou Yingxi's mood was a bit irritable, and Wang Yulou's actions seemed to imply that her family was secretly using tricks or scheming.

    "You're responsible for your own gains and losses, you didn't buy the contracts from me, and you haven't made less money either."

    "Friend, don't be chaotic and stubborn."

    "Do you say I'm chaotic and stubborn?" Zhou Yingxi turned her head directly, applying pressure to Yu Lou.

    "Oh dear, my spiritual awareness isn't enough. Let's watch the race, shall we?"

    Yu Lou rubbed her forehead and looked towards the center of the race course.

    The group of Ironbone Wolves had caught a dumb horse and were already disemboweling it. The cultivators were so excited that their blood was boiling.

    Yu Lou's preparation did not fail; this special event was a success.

    It can be imagined that many new spectators will become loyal viewers after today, and they will also come often in the future.

    The only one who is unhappy is the owner of the horse that was disemboweled. His horse is just gone.

    But it is not unreasonable; he sought the appearance fee of the race and should bear the corresponding risks.

    Seeing Wang Yulou focusing so intently on the race, Zhou Yingxi thought for a moment and then transmitted a voice message angrily.

    "Wang Yulou, I have received news that the Valley Spirit Sect has applied to the Fairy Alliance to initiate a complete extermination of the Miao Feng Mountain Sect."

    As an esteemed elder in the Hongdao, Zhou Yingxi was once one of the most dazzling talents. Your Wang family should leave that muddy water as soon as possible."

    The hands that were clapping stopped, and Wang Yulou turned his head, making eye contact with Zhou Yingxi.

    Zhou Yingxi had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, with chestnut brown pupils.

    "Really?"

    Shocked by the news, Yu Lou forgot to transmit and opened his mouth unconsciously, asking silently.

    Zhou Yingxi glared at him and continued watching the race.

    In the field, the Black Supreme Elder, which started late, finally overtook the Qing Qilin that was in first place. After all, its cultivation and realm were higher.

    After overtaking Qing Qilin, the Black Supreme Elder kicked with one leg, sending Qing Qilin flying towards the Ironbone Wolves that were busy devouring the horse meat.

    The group of wolves were momentarily stunned and then collectively pounced on the Qing Qilin before it could struggle up.

    The screams of the Qing Qilin made everyone feel heartache, but Yu Lou's face remained calm.

    Find two celestial armor horses at the peak of the mixed monster realm, naturally, they can also be called snake-scaled horses. Find them for me, of course, it's natural to hope that they win.

    If we don't let Black Supreme Elder or the Domineering King win, how can we stir up the excitement of the racehorses in Qingxi Fang?

    *------------------

    After immediately forwarding Zhou Yingxi's message to his clan, Yu Lou directly closed the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and Dahua Fang.

    The war may escalate, so let's temporarily close the shops to prevent being caught off guard. Everything will be discussed once the clan's message comes back!

    Later, he returned to Zhiwei Fang, where Zhou Yingxi had been waiting for a long time.

    "I've never heard before that a cultivator at the Qiguan Seven Layers can be so arrogant, waiting for an Xingqi senior like this is inappropriate, isn't it?"

    "The highest-level spiritual tea at Zhiwei Fang is grade nine. Zhou Yingxi only drank a mouthful, and then waited patiently. She believed that criticizing Wang Yulou once was already very civilized of her."

    "I'm sorry, Zhou Yingxi friend, my hospitality was inadequate today, but you also know that I'm tied up with secular affairs."

    Wang Yulou said with a wry smile.

    Zhou Yingxi did not put pressure on him. As friends, their relationship could still beget some mutual understanding.

    "Wang family's interesting arrangement of cultivating your two brothers is rather curious. It's enough to have them follow Hongmei in Qingxi Fang to refine Dao, but it also made you a manager for two shops. Do you not feel strange about this?"

    "Every day, you can only cultivate for a few hours, so you must make use of your time."

    Yu Lou doesn't think there's anything strange about the arrangement in the family.

    After the success of Tie Qin He in building the foundation, while Wang Rong Jiang failed, it was also a good thing for him to contribute to the family through business.

    After the Hongdao reaps its harvest, Miao Feng Mountain distributes benefits. Now, a basic foundation resource costs at least 80,000 spirit stones to purchase.

    Yu Lou has struggled for seven years to accumulate half a foundation resource.

    Of course, the spiritual stones earned can't be all used to help the Wang clan's cultivators break through to foundation realm. However, for the Wang clan that has been severely wounded, Yu Lou has managed to return some of their blood.

    Hearing Yu Lou's words, Zhou Yingxi felt a bit embarrassed. She had cultivated in the Purple Mansion realm since she was young and completed the Qiguan stage in only two years.

    "What do you want to talk to me about? The message I told you is true, the Valley Spirit Sect's Ning family has really started a full-scale attack on Miao Feng Mountain."

    Before their Hui Shanfu was shattered by Miao Feng Mountain, they wanted to take this opportunity to avenge the extinguishing of the sect.

    Many great cultivators and true persons in the Fairy Alliance don't want your family's Wuge Xiongzong to successfully cultivate the true dantian, fight against Miao Feng Mountain, and give pressure to the Hongdao.

    Therefore, the application for the Valley Spirit Sect's complete extermination will most likely be approved. At that time, the foundation-level cultivators will be able to make moves within limited ranges. Wang Xianzhou Senior will definitely be under close scrutiny.”

    The family is the family, and the individual is the individual. Zhou Yingxi truly treats Wang Yulou as a friend, which is why she would entrust such a crucial piece of information.

    In fact, Zhou Yingxi's message, Yu Lou and other members of the family, including the family head and other clan members, had long suspected something.

    The Wuge Xiongzong cultivates the true dantian, and Li Haiping opens the Purple Mansion.

    As the Hongdao expands, the Tianhe Sect next to them wouldn't just sit idly by and watch.

    But he didn't expect that this kind of interference would start from the Valley Spirit Sect's intention to annihilate the sect's doctrine.

    Once the sect-extermination war begins, perhaps the great cultivators in the Purple Mansion can save their lives, but when all the disciples have no descendants, the sect's doctrine will also disappear.

    If the Hongdao intervenes to support Miao Feng Mountain, the situation will escalate further, and Wuge Xiongzong's cultivation may be delayed.

    This is the trend, and Yu Lou pondered over it, choosing to do what he could.

    "....... What do you mean about our family's Wuge Xiongzong? Our family doesn't have such great fortune, don't talk nonsense."

    He has been doing many things for seven years and has accomplished many of them. In the future, he can accomplish even more.

    "Zhou Yingxi friend, I plan to hold a special competition on behalf of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion - the Qingxi Fang Sealed Dao Master Competition."

    Invite all Qigui-level seal-making masters within a radius of a thousand miles to Qingxi Fang to compare whose seal-making skills are the highest.

    Give them some rewards according to their rankings.

    "This competition will further promote the reputation of Qingxi Fang and also help the Hundred Treasures Pavilion climb to another level."

    Zhou Yingxi looked at Yu Lou with a shocked expression on her face.

    Not, buddy?

    The danger of war is increasing, and you're not worried at all.

    But you actually told me that your response is to hold some sort of seal master competition.

    This doesn't seem appropriate.

    Right, this is indeed inappropriate.

    "Wang Yulou, there's going to be a war. Why do you seem so unbothered?"

    Yu Lou shook his head and spoke calmly.

    "I only have a cultivation base of Qiguan Seven Layers, Zhou Yingxi friend, with such fierce beasts contending, what can I do?"

    All I can do is cultivate well, and try to help the family progress more steadily. As for the rest, I'm not qualified to think about it."

    Zhou Yingxi was speechless.

    Yes, she was born into a great clan, but what can Zhou can do is limited.

    What she can do is equally unremarkable, and she even has to be arranged to marry a specified spouse by the family.

    She wanted to refuse, but when the tumultuous waves came, she had no protection from the family and was unable to resist.

    So, she can't actually refuse.

    Yu Lou didn't pay attention to what the woman opposite was thinking and continued to talk about the seal master competition.

    "In the competition, I plan to invite three judges: my master Hongmei, my uncle Wang Rongsheng, and you."

    The judges' main responsibility is to prevent cheating, considering there's only so much room for cheating, the job isn't very difficult.

    As for the cost, 300 spirit stones, how does Zhou Yingxi think about it?"

    Zhou Yingxi was going to say that 300 spirit stones were a bit less, but thinking about the pitiful appearance of the Wang family, she changed her mind and said.

    "Okay, this seal master... "

    "Master Competition."

    "Master Competition, okay, Master Competition. When do you plan to hold the event?"

    Zhou Yingxi spends a month in seclusion, so she needs to arrange her time in advance.

    "My idea is that we need to spread the news, let all the cultivators in a radius of a thousand miles know about it, and then hold the competition."

    So, I've set the time for a month later. A month should be enough time for the news to spread."

    Yu Lou had already made up his mind in his heart. The lesson he learned from being trapped in the cash flow of the horse racing track had been enough to teach him.

    "My father is a town guardian cultivator, but after getting to know you, I have slowly been feeling that way."

    Yu Lou, actually, you are more suited to be a town guardian cultivator. Besides your cultivation base, you are very capable in other aspects."

    The girl with peach blossom eyes felt a sense of melancholy. Her father only knows how to profit, with no intention of managing Qingxi Fang.

    In contrast, Yu Lou, although he is not in a position, the things he does are very beneficial to the development of Qingxi Fang.

    The Big Goods Workshop War Supply Futures Exchange has made Qingxi Fang known in Hongdao.

    The Qingxi Fang horse racing festival has been getting better and better. Zhou Yingxi had watched Yu Lou gradually build up the horse racing track, so how could she not be impressed?

    "What you've done, it looks like just to earn spirit stones, but objectively, it has promoted the development of Qingxi Fang."

    I can even feel that the number of cultivators in Qingxi Fang this year is significantly higher than in the past few years, which is actually thanks to you."

    After hearing Zhou Yingxi's praise, Yu Lou modestly shook his hands.

    "Don't give me too much credit, it's not as impressive as you think. I just happened to catch the windfall after Wolyong Pavilion disappeared."

    Because of the war, Wolyong Pavilion has temporarily disappeared, and the number of customers at Qingxi Fang naturally increased.

    This belongs to the category of universality.

    On the other hand, Yu Lou cannot fight like Wang Xianzhou, nor can he be like Wang Xianmao as the fulcrum of the Wang clan.

    But he also wants to make contributions to the Wang clan, so he naturally needs to seize opportunities in a timely manner and do things within his capacity.

    Looking at Yu Lou, who seemed to embody the meaning of ruling and conquering, Zhou Yingxi felt the gap between them.

    She is like a flower that has been nurtured and grown under protection, with high cultivation and strong strength, and a bright future prospect. However, she lacks tempering and even fears and confuses about distant irrelevant things.

    But Yu Lou is not inferior either; he grows in the thin soil between the cracks, like a vigorous wild grass, not sparing a single drop of rainwater, and striving to grasp every opportunity that comes his way.

    "Wang Yulou..."

    Yu Lou quickly swallowed the mutton in his mouth and asked.

    "What's wrong?"

    Zhou Yingxi's gaze flickered, and she looked at the plate on the table.

    "……Your family's donkey meat is indeed delicious."
