Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16182 Interests
In the city, covering their territory with white mist is a very high-profile act. Why would you cover your territory with white mist? What do you have to hide? You should know that you are in the city, in the city of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God has laws, and no one will easily touch you. Covering your territory is certainly a very conspicuous act.

Even if Xu Ying hadn't done that, they were already quite conspicuous. Everyone in the Divine Kingdom was focused on Xu Ying and his group. Recently, there had been nothing else going on in the Divine Kingdom except for Xu Ying and his group, so naturally, everyone's attention was on them. No one in the Divine Kingdom had noticed Chang Jun and his group's actions. If they had, the entire Divine Kingdom would have been in an uproar.

Xu Ying and his group have completed the temple in Jin Sui City and have begun promoting it. As before, anyone who believes in the Myriad Laws Cult can learn three kinds of spells for free. This is incredibly attractive to many independent cultivators. Previously, they only had one temple in Beast Town. Although many people from Jin Sui City went to Beast Town to learn spells, many others did not. After all, traveling from Jin Sui City to Beast Town requires taking a teleportation array, which costs money. Many independent cultivators simply don't have the money to take a teleportation array.

Don't assume that just because a teleportation array costs only one crystal (equivalent to one yuan in the Divine Kingdom), everyone can afford it. In fact, there are many independent cultivators in the Divine Kingdom who can't afford to use the teleportation array. One yuan isn't much, but for many independent cultivators, if they don't work hard, they can't even afford to eat. One yuan has considerable purchasing power in the Divine Kingdom; it can buy about ten kilograms of rice, which is enough to feed one person for several days. So, for many independent cultivators, one yuan is not a small amount, and they are really reluctant to spend one yuan to use the teleportation array.

Most importantly, if you really want to go from Jin Sui City to Zhen Shou City, it's not just a matter of one yuan. You'll need to spend one yuan to go there and one yuan to come back, which is two yuan in total. Moreover, there were many people going to Zhen Shou City at that time. Even if you went to Zhen Shou City, you might not be able to enter the Wanfa Temple immediately. If you stayed there for two days, the cost would be even higher. To put it bluntly, many people might not be able to afford that much money.

But things are different now. Now that the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws has opened in Jin Sui City, even the lowest-ranking rogue cultivators in Jin Sui City can become believers of the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws and learn magic. This is also a good thing for the most wealthy rogue cultivators in Jin Sui City.

However, after understanding the situation, Xu Ying immediately had an idea: they had to develop some industries. Once they had industries, they could openly assign tasks to those rogue cultivators and support them. This way, the rogue cultivators would be closer to them, and no one would suspect anything. After all, everyone in Jin Sui City was now one of their own, but they couldn't let outsiders know. Moreover, if they went to other cities in the future and couldn't turn the people in those cities into the undead race in a short time, this method would be even more necessary.

They must develop followers, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the Kingdom of God. If they continue to teach those rogue cultivators magic as if they were doing charity, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Kingdom of God. Your followers do not seem to believe in the Myriad Laws Cult at all, yet you still give them benefits. Isn't that suspicious?

That's why Xu Ying planned to set up some businesses and let those rogue cultivators take on missions. This way, he could openly pay those rogue cultivators, and they would naturally become believers of the Myriad Laws Cult. In this way, the people of the Divine Kingdom would not suspect them.

Acquiring these properties was actually quite easy for them. Both the Beast Suppression City and Golden Year City had properties owned by the Creation God Sect. Now that the Creation God Sect had withdrawn, those properties remained. According to the rules of the Divine Kingdom, these properties actually belonged to the Myriad Laws God Sect. Of course, under normal circumstances, the powerful families would have already divided these properties among themselves. But now that both cities belonged to the Blood Slaughter Sect, it was naturally very easy for the Myriad Laws God Sect to obtain them. So, quickly, those properties became the property of the Myriad Laws God Sect. Many rogue cultivators relied on these properties for their livelihood, and they directly became followers of the Myriad Laws God Sect. In this way, the Myriad Laws God Sect appeared to operate just like the Creation God Sect, and naturally, no one doubted them anymore.

After taking care of all these matters, Xu Ying and his group went directly to the next city, which was called Jinchuan City. When Xu Ying and his group went to the Jinchuan City Lord's Mansion to buy land, all the members of the Creation God Cult in Jinchuan City left, leaving only an empty Creation God Temple.

The reaction of the Creation God Cult surprised many, but it didn't surprise Xu Ying and his group. After learning that the Creation God Cult had left, they understood their intentions: they were indeed consolidating their power. Xu Ying and his group weren't in a hurry and continued building the temple. However, when they prepared to take over the assets left behind by the Creation God Cult, a problem arose. Some powerful families in Jinchuan City had already acquired those assets and wouldn't easily hand them over to Xu Ying and his group.

Because the people from the Creation God Sect left, Xu Ying and his group did not immediately attack the people in Jinchuan City. Therefore, the people in Jinchuan City were still ordinary cultivators. They were not members of the undead race, nor had they surrendered to the Blood Slaughter Sect. So, of course, they would not give up the benefits they had gained.

Seeing this, Xu Ying was actually pleased. They needed to show Gongliang Juewen that their Myriad Laws Divine Sect also needed benefits. Only then would Gongliang Juewen feel at ease. If they didn't want anything, Gongliang Juewen wouldn't be at ease. In Gongliang Juewen's view, "Ah, your Myriad Laws Divine Sect doesn't want followers, doesn't want benefits, teaches those rogue cultivators techniques for free, and doesn't ask me for any benefits, helping me suppress the Creation Divine Sect. What? Are you doing charity?" He didn't believe that there were people in this world who didn't want anything and were purely doing charity.

If someone is doing charity without any ulterior motives, Gongliang Juewen would think that person has more ambitions. They wouldn't believe that saints exist in this world, so if Xu Ying and the others really acted as if they didn't care about anything and didn't want anything, he would be suspicious instead.

Now things are much better. The powerful families in Jinchuan City have seized the assets left behind by the Creation God Sect. As long as he takes action and reclaims those assets, Gongliang Juewen will be completely at ease. A king would prefer to use ministers with some flaws. If a minister has no flaws and is a perfect person, the king would not dare to use him. In their view, if a person has no flaws, then he must be pretending. And those who are pretending are more dangerous. They are not after ordinary interests, but greater interests. So if a perfect person appears, the king will not use him and will be more wary of him.

However, Xu Ying needed to think carefully about how to proceed. So, after the temple in Jinchuan City was completed, he immediately gathered all the people who had come with him to Jinchuan City. Once they were all there, Xu Ying said to them, "You have all seen the situation in Jinchuan City. The Creation God Sect is indeed shrinking their power. They have essentially handed Jinchuan City over to us. However, the properties left behind by the Creation God Sect have been seized by the families in the city. What are your thoughts on this situation? How can we reclaim those properties?"

Upon hearing Xu Ying's words, the disciples were all taken aback. They exchanged glances, and then one of them spoke up: "Elder Xu, there seems to be no need to discuss this. Wouldn't it be simpler to just turn Jinchuan City into our own territory?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that it was indeed the case. As long as they turned Jinchuan City into the territory of the Blood Slaughter Sect, wouldn't that solve everything? What other problems would there be? Wasn't that how they had always handled things before?
Xu Ying shook her head and said, "This time the situation is a bit different. In fact, many eyes are watching us now. I suspect that it's not just people in Jinchuan City who are watching us, but also people outside the city. If we really take any action, even if we use a magic array, I'm worried that we'll be discovered by people outside the city. Once we're discovered, it will be really troublesome. Last time in Jinsui City, the reason no one suspected us was because Shang Baiyi sealed the city himself, so no one suspected us. If we seal the city and are discovered, then we're really finished. So we can't move in Jinchuan City right now; we have to wait for the right opportunity. But we must get our hands on those properties of the Creation God Sect. This is to show Gongliang Juewen and make him trust us, so we must take those properties back. What do you think we should do next?"

Upon hearing Xu Ying's words, everyone understood what Xu Ying was worried about. After thinking for a moment, a disciple spoke up: "Although there are laws in the Divine Kingdom, in the end, these are also the laws of the cultivation world. Might makes right. As long as we teach those aristocratic families a lesson, those properties will naturally return to our hands."

Everyone nodded, but Xu Ying frowned and said, "The idea is good, but if we go directly to their door, those powerful families will definitely gang up on us. Even the big families probably won't stand by and watch. We might have a hard time in the future."
