Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

In the Xu family's courtyard, there were four people standing in total, and a seemingly harmless little gray dog ​​running around.

Who is this old man? He looks so fierce at my uncle. If he didn't feel like he couldn't beat you, he would have bitten you.

Su Xin sized up Xu Qingzhou in front of him, thinking to himself.

"Is this the guy who kidnapped my daughter? He's only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, and he's unremarkable in every way. What exactly did Xinyan see in him?"

"But this monster looks so much like the ancient mythical beast Suanni described in ancient books."

Xu Muge stood beside him, his eyes looking elsewhere, seemingly detached from everything around him, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

"It's a good thing a fight didn't break out. If it had, I wouldn't know which side to stand on."

Su Xinyan lowered her head, looking somewhat lost, as if she had been caught doing something wrong by her parents when she was a child.

"Xinyan, aren't you going to introduce her?" Su Xin asked, his voice extremely calm, revealing no emotion.

Su Xinyan bit her lip and said, "This is my father."

“Father-in-law, please accept my bow,” Xu Qingzhou bowed very formally to Su Xin.

This stunned all three people present.

Xu Muge exclaimed inwardly.

"My God! Uncle is too fierce! He came right up and called me father-in-law. Isn't he afraid that Master will take action?"

Xu Qingzhou's shamelessness even stumped Su Xin. He had only just met Xu Qingzhou, and things were still very close, yet he was already calling him "father-in-law."

At this moment, Su Xinyan's words dealt another blow to Old Deng.

“Father, this is Qingzhou. We are in love and deeply in love. We hope you can bless us.”

Su Xin's face darkened, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became extremely strange, as if the air itself had frozen. Little Grey, who had been walking briskly, slowed down and stood obediently to the side.

Xu Muge quietly took a few steps back, afraid that if a fight broke out, he would be caught in the crossfire.

"Hey...."

Looking at his stubborn daughter, Su Xin felt a mix of emotions, which ultimately turned into a sigh.

Actually, he wasn't against Su Xinyan having a sweetheart; on the contrary, he would wholeheartedly support whatever his daughter did or chose. He just felt that they shouldn't keep this from him.

Su Xin looked at Xu Qingzhou.

"Once you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, you two should get married."

After saying that, Su Xin turned around, picked up Xu Muge, and left the Xu family.

The reason he set the cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage was because he felt that Xu Qingzhou's current cultivation was too poor. His daughter had already reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, while he was only at the early Purple Mansion stage.

It's not that he necessarily wants to catch up with his daughter; after all, he knows how outstanding his daughter is.

I just felt that the difference couldn't be too great, otherwise, when my old friends came to see me get married, I would lose face.

Hearing Su Xin's words, Su Xinyan and Xu Qingzhou both breathed a sigh of relief, especially Su Xinyan, who was very happy and turned to grab Xu Qingzhou's hand.

“Great, Father has agreed.”

Xu Qingzhou said, "You just acted like you were saying, 'I don't care what you say, I'm convinced it's him.' Your father-in-law has no choice but to agree."

Su Xinyan smiled gently.

"Yes, my father has always loved and supported me."

......

The cooperation between the Xu family and Wanbaoge is in full swing.

As Xu Luo suggested, the Qi Gathering Pill was still refined by the Xu family's alchemists, while the Consciousness Condensation Pill and the Vitality Enhancement Pill were refined jointly by the Xu family and Wanbaoge's alchemists.

Therefore, they specially bought another courtyard at the foot of Chaoxia Peak and arranged for the Xu family and the alchemists of Wanbaoge to live there.

Each time, the alchemists of Wanbaoge would refine the Condensing Consciousness Pill and the Enhancing Vitality Pill according to the normal refining method. After completing half of them, they would hand them over to the Xu family alchemists to refine the improved version of the pills.

This way, the formula can be kept secret while also achieving the goal of cooperation.

As a result, under this cooperative model, the production of the three types of pills skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, Wanbaoge also sent the surplus pills to other cities for sale. Although the Xu family had to share some of the profits, the increased production expanded the market.

Therefore, the Xu family also increased the amount of spirit stones they earned by relying on the three kinds of pills.

A month into the collaboration, Xu Qingzhou glanced at the ledger and saw that the income from pills was three times what it used to be, which was quite considerable. Once the collaboration became more familiar, they could add even more.

The elder sighed, "I originally wanted to talk to you about developing other industries, but now that we have this cooperation, we can start planning slowly."

"Other industries?" Xu Qingzhou asked, puzzled.

The elder nodded, his face showing worry.

"After we moved to Lingyue City, the family's expenses in all aspects increased significantly. In addition, as the family members became stronger, they needed more cultivation resources. In the past six months, we have been struggling to make ends meet."

Xu Qingzhou was stunned.

In general, after moving to a big city, the cost of living increases, the family grows rapidly, the overall strength increases, and the demand for resources also increases significantly.

As for income, it was initially just passable thanks to the three improved versions of the pills.

In the past six months, things have become a bit lackluster.

Ultimately, the problem stems from too few industries, their small scale, and an imbalance between income and expenditure.

"I understand. I will look for a suitable industry in the meantime."

After the Grand Elder left, Xu Qingzhou began to think.

If you're looking for a way to make a high and quick income, then robbery is the way to go. Not all the bandits and outlaws in the Demon Cloud Mountains turned to banditry because they couldn't make a living. Some of them simply joined the trade to make money quickly.

Next are things related to cultivators: alchemy, artifacts, arrays, and talismans. The Xu family is already doing its best to train alchemists, but these things cannot be accomplished overnight.

First, you need to find a clansman with a talent for alchemy. Then, you need to spend a lot of time and spirit stones to slowly cultivate him. This process of becoming proficient is very long.

The same applies to weapon array symbols.

In addition, there are activities such as brewing spirit wine, planting spirit plants and teas, raising spirit beasts, and trading in rare and precious materials and monster beast materials.

These are all good options; if the Xu family is large and powerful, they could even do them all.

Of course, if you have a very good and unique wine recipe, or a spiritual tea seedling, and a stable and excellent supply channel, that's also an option.

However, the Xu family currently lacks not only these, but also spirit stones, technology, and manpower. They have no advantage in these aspects. If they rashly enter the industry, they will not only fail to earn spirit stones, but may also suffer huge losses.

Xu Qingzhou thought for half an hour but had no clue.

"By the way, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Why am I thinking about these things? I can just ask Xiao Luo when he comes back."

While others rely on their parents for financial support, Xu Qingzhou relies on his nephew.

There's nothing I can do; they're all my nephews, so if I don't take advantage of them, who will?

And then there was the time I took advantage of Xu Muge's generosity to buy a house.

The False Clan Chief: He is meticulous in his planning and strategizing, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the clan.

The real patriarch: Lies down, exploits his nephews, and leeches off his nephews.
