Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Before Li Zhirui could open his mouth to comfort him, Xiao Cang had already recovered on his own. After all, it was not the first day he became a god, and he already had a thorough understanding of Shinto.

If he still envied the freedom and ease of the immortal path, he would not have made such great progress on the Shinto path, and he would have trapped himself where he was.

"Brother Jiu, you encountered a disaster right after you came back. I think you must be mentally exhausted. You should have a good rest. I will leave first."

"it is good."

Li Zhirui nodded, stood up and saw him off.

After returning to the cave, he looked at the empty room and murmured, "In the void, I didn't feel the passage of time very much, but after coming back, I felt the powerful power of time again!"

In the two thousand years of time, countless things have happened, and what Xiao Cang said is just a drop in the ocean, and may just be a few waves.

But soon, he suppressed his emotions, walked into the quiet room, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and concentrated on regulating his breathing and recovering.

As Li Zhirui practiced his skills, the rich spiritual energy nearby was attracted by the powerful force and surged in. In just a moment, a large spiritual energy vortex was formed.

The Secret Method of Absorbing Spirits from the Fate Star that he practiced was not only effective against chaotic spiritual energy, it could also absorb ordinary spiritual energy, and it was even more efficient!

After all, compared with chaotic spiritual energy, ordinary spiritual energy is of a lower grade and is naturally easier to absorb.

Therefore, in just a few hours, Li Zhirui's energy and spirit were completely restored.

But he did not come out of seclusion, but continued to absorb spiritual energy and refine his magic power.

As for why he didn't just rush to the Heavenly Fairyland in one go? Of course, it was because he couldn't do it yet! He hadn't even touched the door to the Heavenly Fairyland, so how could he go any further?
However, Li Zhirui was not in a hurry. He was not in danger of dying, and his family was doing well and there was no danger. Why should he push himself too hard?

You know, the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes! It’s better to take your time.

……

The news of Li Zhirui's return to the family was not made public. Only a small number of clan members knew about it, so naturally it did not cause any stir.

Wanxian Mountain is still as lively and prosperous as usual.

If you look at the entire Shanhaizhou and use the art of looking at qi, you will find that this place is very popular, and even interweaves into layers of smoke and clouds, which looks very magnificent.

"Patriarch, this is the family's full-year income last year, as well as the income up to last month."

Li Xianlang raised his head from among the numerous documents, took the jade slip, and carefully checked the contents recorded on it.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Compared with last year, why has this year's revenue dropped by 20%? What is the reason?!"

"Patriarch, you don't know."

The elder spoke quickly, fearing that he would be blamed, and said, "At the beginning of the year, the three celestial immortal forces, Dongyuan Sect, Yumen He Family, and Xiaxian Sect, successively issued development orders, summoning all cultivators to occupy territory in the Great Zhou. Therefore, in the past few months, many independent cultivators and independent cultivator forces have left Shanhaizhou one after another."

Li Xianlang frowned and thought for a moment before he remembered that this was indeed the case, but he was busy dealing with other important matters at the time, so he didn't take it to heart.

But I didn’t expect that such negligence would cause such a huge loss to the family!
Considering the family’s current trading share, even if it is only 20% in half a year, it is still a very exaggerated number.

Not to mention this might just be the beginning!
As the news spreads, there will surely be more and more independent cultivators leaving Shanhaizhou and heading south to fight for a place for themselves and their disciples and clansmen, instead of just drifting with the crowd and having no control over their own destiny.

It is too late to stop it now. We can only think of ways to reduce the family’s losses as much as possible and prevent too many independent cultivators from leaving.

So Li Xianlang immediately summoned all the elders to discuss a solution as soon as possible.

"Most of the independent cultivators are people who forget their principles when they see profit. If we want to keep them, there is only one way, and that is for the family to give them some tangible benefits!"

"indeed so!"

All the elders present nodded in agreement.

The independent cultivators have no worries. If you use threats or inducements, and they can't stand it, they will just leave. They will never be threatened by you.

There's no need to talk about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. Growing up in the cruel environment of casual cultivators, it's impossible for there to be any humble gentleman, because such a person would have been torn apart and "eaten" by others long ago!

The only thing that is useful is profit!
"In this case, do the elders have any good ideas?"

Li Xianlang had a plan in mind, but he didn't rush to say it out. Instead, he wanted to listen to everyone's opinions first.

"Don't they want spiritual veins as the foundation of their existence? The Wanshan Hills to the west of the family and the Changli Mountains to the north have many low-level spiritual veins that can be given to them for use."

The elder added: "Of course, we can't give it to them directly. We still need to set a threshold. It would be best if the family could use this to better control them and earn some spirit stones."

"All they have to do is pay some spiritual objects and spiritual stones to get the permanent right to use a spiritual vein. Isn't this easier than risking their lives to fight with others?"

Li Xianlang also had the same idea, but he wanted to think more comprehensively. Seeing that no one spoke, he said, "First of all, a certain threshold must be set. Only after completing some tasks assigned by the family can they obtain the qualifications to purchase spirit veins."

In this way, it won't seem too easy to obtain spiritual veins. After all, the easier it is to get something, the more likely it is to be despised!
Moreover, in this process, the Li family can also obtain wealth twice from those independent cultivators!
Perhaps a casual cultivator is poor, but those casual cultivator families and sects that have formed small forces but have no spiritual veins to stand on must have one or two hidden treasures in their hands!

"Well! This idea is more perfect. If there is no other way, then let's continue the discussion."

The following content is nothing more than discussing the different grades of spirit veins and how many tasks and spirit stones should be used to measure them.

After half a day of discussion, we finally finalized all of these.

Take a fifth-order spirit vein as an example. If a casual cultivator wants to obtain this spirit vein, he must first complete ten tasks assigned by the Li family, and then spend one million spirit stones to purchase it, and then he can get the permanent right to use the spirit vein!
As long as there is no betrayal of the Li family or damage to the interests of the Li family, then this is actually no different from ownership.

But the reason why it is not ownership but a permanent right of use is mainly to avoid some troubles.

And as compensation, the selling prices are very low.

The next day after it was confirmed, the Li family announced the news and welcomed all independent cultivators to settle in Shanhaizhou!
With the Li family's vigorous publicity, it took only half a day for the news to spread throughout the entire Shanhaizhou and became almost known to everyone.

"I didn't expect the Li family to be so willing to give up on me. They really spent a huge amount of money to snatch this independent cultivator!"

"Yes, who would have thought that we, the independent cultivators who have never been looked down upon by the cultivators from families and sects, would become so popular now, and all the major forces are trying to win us over."

"I'm afraid this situation won't last long. It would be great if it could stay like this." "Don't talk in your sleep in the broad daylight! The current treatment is already the limit, and you still want to keep it that way."

……

It can be said that almost all the independent cultivators are discussing this matter.

However, those independent sects and families became very hesitant when faced with the choice.

"Patriarch, what are you still hesitating about?"

An elder of a certain independent cultivator family said excitedly: "Although the Li family has to spend some spirit stones, there is no danger to life. However, the territory of the Great Zhou is full of dangers. Who can guarantee that we can occupy a spirit vein? If there are heavy casualties and we don't get the spirit vein, can the family still survive?"

The patriarch was shocked when he heard this. Yes, if no one can survive, then what is there to talk about?

He immediately made up his mind to find a way to buy a spiritual vein from the Li family!
Similar situations frequently occurred among the independent cultivators, especially as their numbers grew. Seeing such a fiery scene, other forces further accelerated their decision-making process.

This method did effectively curb the outflow of independent cultivators from Shanhaizhou, and the Li family also took the opportunity to earn a lot of spirit stones.

At the beginning, the three celestial immortal forces of the Dongyuan Sect did not notice anything wrong, but gradually, they found that there were fewer and fewer independent cultivators coming from the north, and they realized the seriousness of the problem.

After sending someone to investigate, we found out the reason.

"The Li family came up with a good idea and stopped the independent cultivators from heading south." Although it was disadvantageous to their side, the immortal still praised it sincerely.

"It's too much of a fantasy to rely on those independent cultivators to decide the outcome of the three-family war. We still need a hard battle!"

However, he is not the only one who has the final say on how the Dongyuan Sect acts, and he does not have the power to modify decisions that have already been made.

Although he could understand why the sect did this, which was to reduce casualties among the disciples, how could there be no casualties in the process of development of any force?

So after he sighed for a while, he turned around and went back to his cave, staying indoors without going out.

Even if you can't change it, just turn a blind eye to it.

……

Li Jialang was completely unaware of all this. He was only busy counting how many independent cultivators had arrived and how many spirit stones the family could obtain from them.

"Currently, there are a total of 36 independent cultivator forces that have chosen to stay. 28 of them have completed their missions, delivered spirit stones, and have already gone to the spirit veins they selected and started to build their own territories."

"it is good!"

As the elder finished his report, the crowd suddenly erupted in cheers. The family's plan went very smoothly, and this was something that every member of the family should be happy about.

But the most gratifying thing is that in addition to the fact that the family has obtained a large number of spiritual objects and spiritual stones, the independent cultivators have rarely left Shanhaizhou.

However, the losses caused to the Li family by those independent cultivators who left earlier could not be made up in a short period of time.

But from another perspective, their departure was also a good thing for the Li family, as it freed up more land for other independent cultivators to rent.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

However, in order to find her own way to become an immortal, Jiang Fengwu has been staying in other places for so many years. Even though there was a catastrophe that occurred once every 1,200 years, she did not choose to go back, but just found a fairy city to cross the catastrophe.

For her, the primary goal was to see clearly how to walk the road ahead. As for breaking through the Heavenly Immortal Realm? She didn't feel anxious, and she wasn't at the point of fighting to the death yet.

There were some gains, but they were somewhat disappointing and Jiang Fengwu was not very satisfied.

But there is no other way. After all, most of the time it depends on chance and luck, and she is not so good at this.

The world is so vast that she has measured it all with her own feet, except for the territory of the demons, and witnessed all kinds of different scenery and customs.

The most important thing is the various formations she comprehended between heaven and earth.

These formation patterns are extremely precious treasures to Jiang Fengwu, a formation practitioner. The more formation patterns she comprehends, the stronger she will be and the more diverse her methods will be.

And on her natal magic weapon, the Ten Thousand Arrays Diagram, there are countless different array patterns recorded, and they all look like mysterious patterns.

This atlas, which is only a foot in size, records at least tens of thousands of formations, and is the result of her life's work!

But recently, Jiang Fengwu has also been worried about this matter because there are no new formation patterns for her to record and learn.

She had seen most of the Yuanling Realm, except for the Western Region, which was occupied by the evil sect and she had not been there.

"Or maybe I can go to the void and try to comprehend those laws. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises?" Jiang Fengwu thought secretly in his heart.

However, she did not act immediately. After all, it was not easy to go to a tower in the void, and she always had to make various preparations.

But before that, she had to return to her family and take a batch of precious elixirs and spiritual objects to the void.

"After so many years of experience, it's time to go back and take a look. I don't know how the family is developing." Jiang Fengwu murmured to himself.

He immediately made up his mind and set off to fly towards Wanxian Mountain.

At this time, she was in the chaotic and war-torn Southern Region, and was accustomed to the cruelty of wars. However, she did not expect that when she was leaving, she would run into the bloody and brutal actions of the demon clan!

A remote mountain village was unfortunately discovered by monsters. Since there were no powerful humanitarian monks in the village, they were no match for the monsters.

However, there were some young monks who were not strong enough and did not want to see their families suffer, so they mustered up the courage to stand up.

But soon, they experienced a battle in which they had no power to fight back. They were knocked away by the monsters as soon as they met. The worst thing was that someone was torn into two halves and eaten directly!

These monsters were not in a hurry to kill and devour the mortals, but instead began to abuse them and treat them as playthings.

Coincidentally, Jiang Fengwu passed by this place at this time and saw the group of monsters that deserved to be killed!

Facing a great cultivator in the late stage of earthly immortality, the monsters were no match at all. They were killed in just a few moves, and their bodies lay motionless on the ground. (End of this chapter)
