Chapter 309 Bottleneck

"Birth subsidies now also require an annual investment of nearly 20,000 spirit stones, plus some other miscellaneous items, the total expenditure is 140,000 spirit stones!"

"It is particularly important to note that many families use contribution points to pay out spirit stones, and about 20,000 contribution points are needed each year. If this part is included, the expenditure will reach 180,000! There is only a surplus of 30,000 spirit stones each year!"

The clan members can use contribution points to exchange resources in the clan library, and these resources also need to be produced or purchased by the family. For example, the foundation-building pill requires more than 30,000 or even 40,000 spirit stones to buy, and only 10,000 contributions are needed to exchange. Of course, the value difference of other items is not that big, and it is no problem to convert it into twice the spirit stone expenditure!

After hearing this, Wang Yanzhao groaned: "The income is not bad at present, and the development of Shuanghu Mountain does not require an investment of 150,000 spirit stones at once. The family can afford it!"

Once Shuanghu Mountain is developed, the family can add more than 100,000 spirit stones in income. In this way, the family can restore the salaries of the foundation-building elders and various managers! And there will be a lot left.

Wang Guangan has already formed a pill, Wang Longyou also wants to form a pill, doesn't Wang Yanzhao want to?

But forming a pill requires buying a pill-forming spiritual object. The cheapest dust-reducing pill also requires 200,000 spiritual stones, and the golden pill jade liquid is as high as 400,000 spiritual stones, which means that everyone needs to prepare 600,000 spiritual stones!

According to the current surplus of 30,000 spiritual stones, it will take 20 years to save enough for a Jindan cultivator, which is not slow!

However, the increasing number of clansmen is also pushing up expenditures, and this time may be longer. They can't intercept all the family's spiritual stones to buy pill-forming spiritual objects. In that case, the development of the family will stagnate!

Therefore, the strategy of continuously developing Lingshan must be implemented, and it must be implemented as soon as possible.

Wang Yanzhao even thought about whether to attack the next sacred mountain in five years...

At this time, Wang Longyou said: "Yanzhao, since there is a surplus in the clan treasury, why don't we give some rewards? In recent years, the clan members have worked hard to develop various industries. In order to attack Shuanghu Mountain, many people were injured! The salary issue was decided by the ancestors, and it is not easy for us to change it, but we have to raise everyone's spirit and prepare for the development of Shuanghu Mountain, right?"

Wang Yanzhao naturally didn't want to, after all, the spiritual stones were limited.

It is impossible to give them too much support overseas. After all, the clan members there are better qualified and have a greater demand for resources. It is good enough to meet their own needs. In fact, the overseas Wang family and the Qingniu Wang family are equivalent to splitting up. They can support each other, but not unlimited support!

But he thought about it, and what Wang Longyou said made sense, so he said: "The clan members have worked hard over the years, so let's distribute two months' salary. Although it is not much, it can make the clan members happy! I also hope that everyone can continue to work hard!"

When everyone heard it, they all shouted happily, "The clan leader is wise."

…

In a mine, a middle-aged foundation-building cultivator was leading several Qi-training cultivators to swing a hoe in the dim environment. Except for the sound of the hoe hitting the spiritual soil, no one made a sound.

This foundation-building cultivator was Wang Yanzhong. He had been here with his clansmen for nearly thirteen years.

With a "bang", a clansman in his thirties threw the hoe aside and complained: "Grandpa, there are only a few of us. How much can we eat? Why grow so much spiritual rice!"

Another clansman who looked young also stopped when he heard this, "That's right, every day we are either hoeing the land or watering spiritual medicines everywhere. We don't have any free time. When will the family let us go back!"

"Okay, you two are starting again. How many times have I said this? Are you annoyed?" Another middle-aged Qi-training clansman scolded: "Your grandfather missed a spiritual pill for you? Didn't give you time to practice? In the family, only you are so rude. OK, can you get such a high salary? Can you have the current seventh level of Qi training? "

"What's the use of a high salary? I can't spend so many spiritual stones in my hands!"

"That's right. I have been in this mine for more than ten years. I haven't even seen the sun. I really can't live this hard life anymore!"

"Ahem!" Wang Yanzhong coughed lightly: "Those who don't want a salary can go back to the cave to rest now. When did I force you? If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Everyone was silent immediately. When Wang Yanzhong was building his foundation, he said that he could risk his life for the family. Now he was just sent to guard the mine, and he was very content.

He has already figured out the environment in this mine. It is really a treasure land. I just don't know why the family didn't develop it!

But he also knows that it needs to be kept secret. There must be a big secret hidden here. This is not what he should know. He also restrained the clansmen from wandering around, but there is nothing to do in this mine. Their qualifications are not very good. How can they concentrate on practicing!

Therefore, he mobilized them to take care of the spiritual fields and filled up all their free time!

Even when everyone was practicing, he would guard outside to prevent anyone from sneaking away!

It can be said that he really guarded these tribesmen like prisoners, including his own son and grandson!

For this, he was complained a lot, but he did not regret it. Over the years, he has planted spiritual rice and spiritual medicine worth 20,000 spiritual stones here. In a few years, he will be able to save enough spiritual stones for a foundation-building pill. With his contributions over the years and the hard work of guarding this place, he believes that he can get a foundation-building pill for his little grandson.

As for the one Wang Hao left for him, he has decided to give it to a clan member named Wang Wendao. Wang Wendao has four spiritual roots and is 39 years old. He was not outstanding at first, but after coming here, he was no longer disturbed by trivial matters. His cultivation was much faster and he became more stable. He was the one with the best performance!

Of course, he could give the foundation-building pill to his son or grandson, but he would probably lose the trust of the family again. The past ten years of suffering would be in vain. Even if his grandson could build a foundation, he would hardly be reused in the future and would become a marginal figure in the family like him.

In order to give his grandson a good future, he held the hoe in his hand and became more motivated!

...

Time flies, and another year has passed!

In a secret room on Wuyou Island in Wuyou Sea, Wang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, his face a little ugly!

"Damn it, I have been smooth sailing all the way, but I have encountered a bottleneck?"

A year ago, Wang Hao started to refine puppets here. It took him eight months and three failures to finally refine a second-level middle-grade puppet. At this time, the Xuanling fruit in his farm was ripe!

Wang Hao always puts improving his cultivation first, so he immediately took it and refined it!

But he didn't expect that he would be stuck at the bottleneck of the ninth level of foundation building!

You know, he even easily crossed the threshold of the seventh level of foundation building!

This made Wang Hao a little frustrated. With his cultivation, the barrier-breaking pill has no effect.

Then he can only feel it in the battle and loosen the bottleneck before he can break through!

"Fighting, do I still have to hunt monsters? Or find someone to fight? But how many cultivators in the foundation building period are my opponents? How can a thing that kills in one second be effective? Do I have to find a third-level monster? That's a suicidal behavior, I can't do it..."

Wang Hao was worried for a while.
