I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 452 Intervention in Dali City

In fact, Du Youqian had already started planning.

However, he was still in the late stage of Jindan at that time. If a real Jindan wanted to interfere with the ownership of Dali City, it would only be considered as overestimating one's capabilities.

And there’s no point in intervening.

Without Master Nascent Soul, Dali City would be overthrown and reduced to a second-class fairy city, losing the resources they previously occupied as a first-class fairy city.

In the past hundred years, although due to the loss of Yuanying Zhenren, their share in the distribution of various resources has become smaller.

But they can still participate in distribution.

But a hundred years later, the real Yuanying has not yet appeared. After they were knocked down to the second level, they were not even qualified to participate in the distribution!

So Du Youqian's previous plan was just to make friends with everyone and become familiar with them.

And now, Du Youqian has also been promoted to Nascent Soul.

On the contrary, we can participate in the battle for Dali City openly.

In the name of "nephew"!

"uncle!"

"Xiao Zhenren!"

The two people with smiles on their faces did not hug each other.

A monk is not a mortal after all, so he still has to be a bit tough.

Hugging each other is so shameless.

"Hey, uncle, don't be so distant, I'm your nephew!" Du Youqian said with a smile.

"That's not okay. The etiquette cannot be discarded."

The man in front of him is indeed Du Youqian's uncle.

Um, uncle.

He is a direct descendant of the main branch of the Duan family in Dali City, the brother of Du Youqian's mother Duan Shulei, and Duan Shumao, a monk in the late Jindan period.

He is more than three hundred years old this year. As a late-stage Jindan monk, his life span is still four to five hundred years, which is enough time to impact the Nascent Soul.

But... although there is a lot of time left for him, there is not much time left for Dali City.

If he is unable to conceive a baby within a hundred years, Dali City will be reduced to a second-class fairy city and lose 90% of its resources.

Can Shumao give birth to a baby within a hundred years?

Of course he is confident externally, saying that he can definitely do it.

In fact, after a hundred years, if he can cultivate to the perfection of the golden elixir, he will be considered to be very lucky.

Du Youqian looked at this person.

Although he had asked Suiyu to come to Dali City to give gifts countless times and had seen Duan Shumao's portrait before, this was indeed the first time he met Duan Shumao.

During his Nascent Soul Ceremony not long ago, it was said that Duan Shumao was in retreat, so he only sent people to bring him generous gifts.

Duan Shumao has a dignified appearance and a talented person, who is fifty or sixty percent similar to Duan Shulei.

And it's not the feminine beauty of Duan Shulei, but full of masculinity and very good-looking.

Du Youqian looked at him and felt that he looked like a person.

Like who?

Oh, it turns out it looks like myself in this life.

Duan Shulei also came this time. This was her first return to Dali City in a hundred years after marrying far away. Before she visited the places where she wandered as a girl, she accompanied her son to win over her brother.

There is no other way, after a woman has a son, the son is heaven.

As for the husband? What is a husband?

Duan Shulei said from the side: "No matter how high Xiaoer's cultivation is, he is still your nephew. If you want to be really polite, just call him by his name, just Xiaoer."

Duan Shumao laughed and said, "That's not appropriate."

"very suitable."

Duan Shumao then held Du Youqian's hand, with tears in his eyes, and shouted emotionally: "Xiao'er!"

"uncle!"

The two of them recognized each other so sincerely, and their love moved heaven and earth.

How sincere is it?

The oiran in the hook said to his patron: "I have never seen anyone stronger and better than you!"

It's almost that sincere.

Duan Shulei was so moved that she wiped tears from her side. Her greatest achievement in this life was not that she had successfully formed a pill, but that she had raised a son in the Nascent Soul realm.

And it is also the Nascent Soul that is expected to hit the gods.

And now, this son has shown his closeness to the Duan family in Dali.

This is the most gratifying thing for her.

Well, maybe the son has something up his sleeve.    But so what?

She is the legitimate daughter of the Duan family, and her son should have the right to compete for the supreme power in Dali City.

After the nephews and uncles recognized each other, they sat down separately.

After chatting about family matters for a while, Duan Shulei and Duan Shumao reminisced about the past. Duan Shumao finally asked tentatively: "Xiao'er, you just gave birth to a baby not long ago, and you should be in seclusion to consolidate your cultivation. Why did you rush to Dali City in such a hurry? Could it be that What's important?"

Du Youqian smiled and said: "Coming to see uncle is just an important matter."

"Hahahaha!" Duan Shumao smiled, seemingly very satisfied.

After laughing for a while, he said: "You came just in time, uncle is in need of help recently."

Seeing that he was so arrogant, Du Youqian stopped pretending and said with a smile: "Youdao is a brother who fights tigers. Father and son are soldiers in battle. Another saying is that the world is big and the earth is big, and my uncle is the biggest. Your business, uncle, is my nephew's business. No matter what it is, my uncle cannot be wronged."

Duan Shumao is not particularly shrewd, but he is not stupid either.

He knew exactly why Du Youqian showed such an attitude.

But the current situation is that the branches are pressing harder and harder, and those small families have the tendency to turn against the guests.

Especially the Yin family, because their daughter was married to Master Chang Fu as a concubine, they became more and more arrogant and almost wanted to climb over the Duan family.

In the past, Duan Shumao had to give them three points.

But now?

My nephew came to support me.

Still afraid of a ball!

But the issue of benefit distribution must be made clear from the beginning.

Duan Shumao does need help from outside, but he doesn't want to attract wolves into the house.

If the Duan family's thousands of years of inheritance were ruined in his hands, he would not be able to rest in peace after his death and would not dare to see his ancestors.

So he asked: "Xiao'er, it's good that you have this heart. However, uncle can't let you work in vain. What do you want?"

"Dali is Duan's Dali." Du Youqian set the tone with his first sentence.

He is not greedy for the title of "Lord of Dali City", he wants actual benefits.

It's good to let Duan continue to be the master of Dali City.

"There are differences between direct descendants and concubines. Tradition cannot be abolished. Dali City should be in the hands of the main lineage of the Duan family. This is the case now and it will be the same in the future."

The second sentence made Duan Shumao even more satisfied.

Du Youqian continued to say the third sentence: "Uncle, you are the most promising person in the main line to be promoted to the Nascent Soul. Nephew, I will fully support you to attack the Nascent Soul. Resources must be concentrated to achieve the greatest effect. Now, I will suffer for a while. Kuzhimai, as long as my uncle can become a Nascent Soul, everything will be fine. As for time, two hundred years is actually too tight. For a city like Dali City that has produced several Nascent Souls, you can allow some time. I will go talk to the league leaders."

Duan Shumao's eyes were filled with surprise. He stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Can this be done if you give me some time?"

"It depends on people," Du Youqian said with a smile, "My nephew and I still have some friends in high-level positions. Some things may seem difficult to ordinary people, but for some people, it is just a matter of words. As long as you find the right reason. , if you give me a little grace, it doesn’t count as breaking the rules.”

Du Youqian's words gave Duan Shumao a reassurance.

After thinking for a moment, Duan Shumao said decisively: "Then Dali City is counting on you, Xiao'er."

Now that the tone has been set, it’s time to talk about the details.

Du Youqian pointed out that compared to when the ancestor Yuanying was still alive, Dali City now receives too few resources and divides them among too many people.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase revenue and reduce expenditure simultaneously.

Kaiyuan means that as the nephew of the head of the Duan family in Dali, he fights for some resources for Dali City that should have been obtained by Dali City, but because there were no Nascent Soul monks, they were taken away by others for various reasons.

To reduce expenditure, it is to reduce the supply to each branch line and each vassal small family, and to pool resources to support a few main line monks who are expected to have babies.

Of course, Du Youqian is not a living Bodhisattva or a great virtuous person.

He definitely wanted to take a share, and he wanted to take the fattest share.

In other words, he promised to provide Duan Shumao with a baby, but before Duan Shumao gave birth to a baby, Dali City's resources would be tilted towards him.

Duan Shumao also had concerns, that is, he might not be able to conceive a baby.

This is also a normal worry. After all, less than one in ten late-stage golden elixirs is expected to conceive a baby.

Even with an almost unlimited supply of resources, his chance of conceiving a baby is no more than one in five.

Du Youqian just comforted him and told him not to have any psychological burden.

In fact, from Du Youqian's point of view, even if Duan Shumao cannot conceive a baby, it doesn't matter. He can still support other members of the Duan family.

If that doesn't work, it would be feasible to raise another child from the Sui family, marry the Duan family, and use the marriage relationship to get involved in Dali City.

Having said that, if Du Youqian wanted to invade Dali City, it might be easier for him to marry a legitimate daughter of the Duan family and become the master of Dali City as his son-in-law.

But Du Youqian felt that it was unnecessary. Dali City was already in his pocket, and there was no need for him to make such a sacrifice.

The only thing that makes Du Youqian curious now is, does Chang Fu dare to take action?
