Journey to the head

There is a big banquet for all the ministers on Mianlong Mountain, and the spring breeze must be the present day.

Lu Gan deliberately did not use his spiritual power to dissipate the alcohol, and everyone in the Yunshan Sect also wisely did not dissuade him.

After fighting for so many years, can't you still enjoy yourself? Then play music and then dance!
After being drunk, Lu Gan walked in a daze, and was about to discuss the development plan with his senior sister, when he saw green flames roaring on the top of Dragon Head Peak, and the fairy in colorful clothes was bathed in fire, looking into the distance.

Lu Qian woke up instantly.

That direction is probably Ningzhou. There are still seven months left in Gu Nichang's ten-year contract.

He stretched out his figure and flew to Gu Nichang's side. Neither of them spoke.

"Lu Gan, I'm leaving soon." After a long time, Gu Nichang said, "There are still seven months. If you have anything to do or people to kill, hurry up and make arrangements."

At this moment, many words came to his mouth, and they were swallowed by Lu Qian.

After being silent for a while, Lu Gancai said: "Since you successfully overcame the tribulation in advance, I will compile a letter and send it back to Danxia. I think both the revered master and the Danxia sect will be very happy."

Gu Nichang nodded indifferently.

Lu Gan added: "Now that you have obtained the golden elixir, as usual, you must have a Taoist title. Do you want to get one yourself, or let your respected master give it to you..."

Gu Nichang became irritated. She just felt that these words were not what she wanted to hear. When her golden eyes met Lu Qian's, she felt even more upset.

"It doesn't matter, just give me a name."

After leaving such a sentence, the green smoke disappeared in a flash.

After the feudal establishment, the entire Yunshan faction's sphere of influence became lively.

Relocation, demolition, groundbreaking, construction...everywhere is a busy scene.

After the enfeoffment, each sect was busy renovating or even building its own mountain gate. The construction materials and corresponding craftsmen in Shuangye Square were crazy busy.

The busiest areas are Mingsha Bay and Lingsha City.

There are a large number of Zhou family members in Mingsha Bay who need to migrate. It is a five-hundred-mile journey from here to Wen Ning Mountain. It is still a very difficult journey for these mortals.

However, the monks of the Zhou family were in high spirits. Zhou Chao, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, personally took command and posted a notice for the rental of aerial ships in Shuangyefang.

The Zhou family finally had their own spiritual vein. And under the protection of the Yunshan Sect, the Zhou family will take root in Wen Ning Mountain from now on, and flourish with deep roots and luxuriant leaves.

Facts have proved that the Yunshan Sect is worthy of the Zhou family's always following.

Now there are actually few floating ships in the entire Yunshan Sect, and the Yunshan Sect does not care about rebuilding the Shenzhou. There are more important things to do now.

That is to rebuild Lingsha City.

Yunshan Sect now owns Mianlong Mountain, Lingsha City, Xinbao, Yongcui Valley, Qingli Mountain, and Liuhua Valley Spiritual Vein. It is time to adjust the overall production layout.

Mianlong Mountain will serve as the headquarters of the Yunshan Sect. It will be the administrative center, headquarters and treasury of the Yunshan Sect. It will also be the residence where elite disciples live and practice.

Ten great formations from ten directions will be arranged here, and up to three flying snake Taoist soldiers can be arranged.

There are rich mineral resources around Xinbao, and it will be built into the smelting and weapon-refining base of the Yunshan Sect, as well as a training center for weapon-smelting skills. Tao Boliang will be the business leader here.

Yongcui Valley will be used to build Qizhenfang in Xinfang City. This market, based on the second-level spiritual vein, is positioned as a valuable treasure and a treasure from all over the world. It provides rare products and high-end services to mid-to-high-end customers. This is an attempt by Lugan to segment the market.

Qingli Mountain and Liuhua Valley will serve as border sentinels, contact points for Shuangyefang, and most importantly, as spiritual plant cultivation bases and related skills training centers. Large areas of spiritual plants of various colors are planted here, but the spiritual plants take longer to mature than the elixirs, so they still have to wait.

Lingsha City will serve as the Yunshan Sect's elixir planting base, elixir refining base, talisman drawing base, spiritual seedling cultivation center, and Kaimeng foundation laying center.

Based on this positioning, Lingsha City will be re-planned, the ruins will be razed and rebuilt, and all the spiritual seedlings, family members and young disciples of the Yunshan Sect will live together in the city.

In the planning, a golden elixir-level mountain protection formation will also be deployed here in the future, as well as a flying snake Taoist soldier.

Of course, Mianlong Mountain, as the new mountain gate of Yunshan Sect, also needs large-scale reconstruction. After all, it was only a stronghold of the Li Yuan Sect in the past. Many functional buildings were imperfect, and even the meeting hall was very small. At that time, the various sects who came to worship could barely fit in, and the banquet was even placed outside the hall.

However, from Bichao Mountain, Kongming Mountain, Lingsha City and now Mianlong Mountain, the Yunshan Sect has grown through continuous relocation. It already has a deep understanding of what functions a mountain gate should have and how the building should be laid out. Now it is just a matter of Make it consistent with the identity and style of the Jindan Sect.

These matters just require Lu Qian to take the general direction, and senior sister Qingfeng and Lin Le are naturally responsible for the specific management.

Lu Qian has too many things to worry about now.

In late February, a solemn relocation ceremony was completed, and the Forest of Heroes Steles was moved to Longzhao Peak of Mianlong Mountain. In addition to the monuments moved to Lingsha City, there are also the heroes who died in the battle. Their life stories and heroic performances have also been engraved on the new stone tablets for the memory of the disciples and future generations.

Dragon Claw Peak is located to the east of Dragon Head Peak. These heroic spirits will always sleep in the direction of the rising sun, watching the Yunshan Sect and Yunshan disciples.

Looking at the gradually expanding forest of steles and the familiar names engraved on the new steles, Lu Gan endured his sorrow and encouraged his disciples: "The deceased are gone. The heroes all sacrificed their lives for the Yunshan Sect and for us." . As the living, we must remember their feats, inherit their spirit, and carry on with their responsibilities. This is the best comfort for them."

He looked at Wu Zhilan, who was shaking all over and with red eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, compared to the dead heroes, the pain suffered by some disciples was not much lighter than death.

That was the monk whose limbs were injured in the battle.

From Nascent Soul to Nascent Soul, all other injuries can be cured, except for broken limbs that cannot be regenerated. As for the Creation Fire Pill, a rare treasure from heaven and earth, not even the great monks dare to hope for it.

The loss of limbs will have a huge negative impact on their path, making it difficult for them to accept it and directly falling into pain and collapse.

For these disciples, Lu Gan could only arrange them in two ways. First, if you become disheartened and give up on your path, you will be sent to a mortal county in your territory to guard the peace, and spend your life in the worship and diligent service of mortals.

Second, if you are still willing to stay in the door, you will be taken care of according to the actual situation. While reducing the workload, the monthly salary will remain unchanged, so as not to let the meritorious people feel cold.

After arranging these things, it is another complicated matter to identify the merits of the disciples, give rewards and commendations, level promotions, etc.

It was busy until mid-March when a long list of commendations was finally released. Lu Gan held a meeting of the Yunshan Sect Presbyterian Church (Expanded) to discuss and approve the list and related reward and promotion measures. The most important thing was to pass a series of personnel changes. Appointment and dismissal decisions.

Promoted Xingshang Deacon Wu Yan to Acting Xingshang Elder.

Xiao Tianci, a disciple of the inner sect Ding and others, was promoted to a second-class disciple of the inner sect and appointed as an expedition deacon.

Appoint true disciple Wu Zhilan as the public security deacon.

Su Yan, a second-class disciple of the inner sect, was appointed as the supervisory deacon. Zheng Duan, the acting elder of foreign affairs, originally wanted to be promoted to the elder of foreign affairs, but he himself refused.

"Master, our sect has become the Golden Core Sect. I am still just practicing Qi and cultivation. If I become an elder, I'm afraid I will be ridiculed by my neighbors. Let's talk about it after I build the foundation."

Seeing his fighting spirit, Lu Qian naturally agreed.

There are also a large number of other disciples who have been promoted. It is foreseeable that the difficulty of disciple promotion will increase significantly in the future. If you want to improve your level in the peaceful era, you will have to rely on a large number of merit points.

The current positions of the nine elders of Yunshan Sect:

Yang Jiye serves as the elder who transmits the merits;
The house elder is served by Jiang Qingfeng;
There is a vacancy for the operating elder, and the work is mainly presided over by Lin Le, the operating deacon;
On behalf of elder Wu Yan;
punish elder Wang Yu;
There is a vacancy among the supervisory elders, and supervisory deacon Su Yan;

Zheng Duan, elder on behalf of foreign affairs;
There is a vacancy among the expedition elders, and Xiao Tianci, the expedition deacon;
There is a vacancy for the security elder, Wu Zhilan, the security deacon.

The vacant elder duties will be temporarily handled by relevant deacons assisting Lu Gan. Each elder, including the vacant elder post, is assigned two deacons, so that work can be carried out much more smoothly.

In addition, the Elders' Assembly also passed the "Legal Regulations of Yunshan Sect's Partner Sects, Subordinate Sects, and Affiliated Sects". In addition to clarifying the rights and obligations of the three sects, there is also a special note.

The sects under the jurisdiction of the Yunshan Sect are strictly prohibited from attacking each other. Any conflicts must be reported to the Yunshan Sect for decision-making. Those who initiate war without permission will be severely punished.

In fact, everything has pros and cons. Allowing the subordinate sects to attack each other can cultivate powerful individual combat capabilities in a nurturing way. It can also take advantage of the conflicts between the subordinate sects to weaken each other and prevent them from uniting, and then act as a mediator to obtain maximum benefits.

It's just that Lu Gan doesn't bother with this. Even though the Yunshan Sect will spend a considerable amount of energy dealing with frictions and disputes among subordinate sects after publishing this law, Lu Gan is still determined to maintain overall unity and stability, restore overall combat effectiveness, and control his subordinates with royal authority.

Piece by piece, piece by piece, within the Yunshan Sect, the order after the war is quickly being restored, everything is prosperous, the subordinate sects have demarcated their own territories, and they have begun to rest and recuperate peacefully.

Looking around, the Yunshan faction is backed by its allies and the enemies it faces have just signed a fifty-year peace treaty. For a long period of time, they can enjoy the time of peaceful development.

In April, Lu Qian finally freed up his hands from domestic affairs and took Gu Nichang to visit the neighbors and establish a preliminary contact.

The first stop is Xinghu County, Jiyang Villa.

Lu Qian and Gu Nichang had just stood above the vast Amber Lake when they saw that the island in the middle of the lake, which had been shrouded in layers of mist in the past, had revealed its true appearance. The clear light was faintly visible above Jiyang Villa, and groups of monks had already arrived. They lined up in the air, with ethereal fragrance and wonderful sounds, to welcome the arrival of Lu Qian and Gu Nichang.

"On a whim today, I watched the ripples of the spiritual water to know that an important guest was coming to my door. I rushed out to greet him. Please forgive me for any rudeness."

Wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, a long beard hanging down the chest, a full head of white hair, and a thin figure, the owner of the villa, Kan Yuanzi, was waiting at the main entrance of the villa, smiling and saluting.

But looking at his appearance, he seemed a little older. It seems that the last prophecy of mantra is a big price to pay for shortening one's life.

Lu Qian hurriedly pulled Gu Nichang and returned the salute. How could this battle be a "hurried out meeting"? He was probably already prepared. Kan Yuanzi's divination and foreknowledge is really miraculous, but if it is really so accurate, wouldn't it be a huge advantage in fighting or military battles?

The two sides exchanged a few polite words, and Kan Yuanzi led the two of them through the twists and turns of the corridor, the exquisite rocks and trees, and the confusing landscape of flowers and plants, to the main hall and sat down.

Seemingly sensing Lu Gan's curiosity, Kan Yuanzi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master Lu, divination predictions, fortune-telling, whether it is yarrow, money, tortoise shells, bone patterns, water waves or stars, no matter what kind All prediction methods are subject to cause and effect.”

"To put it simply, if the thing you are measuring is not that important and the karma is not heavy, you will naturally be able to predict everything. If the thing you are measuring is related to life and death and has wide implications, then if you don't pay some price, it will be a million dollars. It cannot be measured. And even if it is measured, it is still vague and you have to understand it yourself.”

"For example." He suddenly smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, I am old and not good at fighting, so I can't compete with you. Don't bully the old and the weak."

Gu Nichang's face turned red for a rare moment, feeling a little embarrassed. She had heard about Kan Yuanzi's magical skills, and she was eager to fight. She wanted to see what it would be like in a fight, but Kan Yuanzi exposed it in advance and blocked her back.

The two sides chatted for a few more words, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves. Lu Qian tried a little, but Kan Yuanzi only wanted to guard the Xinghu area and had no intention of joining the alliance.

However, the two parties had already formed a good relationship. Even though there was no intention of alliance, Kan Yuanzi readily accepted some of Lu Gan's proposed business cooperation.

"My Xinghu County doesn't have much land, but there are as many large and small lakes as stars. It is rich in water element treasures. If Master Lu wants to exchange what he has, it will be mutually beneficial. That would be the best thing."

Finally, Lu Qian mentioned the prophecy mantra again and wanted to ask if there was anything he could do to repay his kindness.

Kan Yuanzi smiled and said: "It seems that that criticism did give Head Lu some help? Don't be anxious, don't be hasty, when the time comes to repay, Head Lu will know."

After leaving Xinghu County, Lu Qian and Gu Nichang spent a few days wandering around the surrounding counties.

There are ten counties in the northwest of Cangzhou, namely Chongming, Liangxiang, Xinghu, Sanshan, Beibei, Junle, Dongping, Huaiyou, Tieyuan and Qingyuan.

Except for Sanshan, Junle, Dongping, and Huaiyou, which have become enemies of the alliance, Lu and Gan from other counties visited. Although the other Jindan were not as enthusiastic as Kan Yuanzi, they still said a few polite words, which was considered a tie. A nod of acquaintance.

In particular, Gu Nichang had a discussion with two golden elixirs from Beiqiao County and Qingyuan County, which deepened their understanding of each other and demonstrated the prestige of the Yunshan Sect.

The last stop is the four gates in Plum Blossom Square.

This Yuanshen sect and three Yuanying sects control Cangzhou, and their mountain gates are of course not here. It's just that the geographical location here is very good, it is the thoroughfare of several states, and it is convenient for commerce and trade, so the large-scale Meihuafang was opened here.

The four major sects have set up offices in Meihuafang and stationed elders to facilitate communication. If the surrounding sects have something to report, they will usually choose to come here directly.

Plum Blossom Square is still as bustling and lively as ever, and the monks waiting to enter the city have been lined up for two miles. It was because it was so close to Meihuafang that after evaluation in various aspects, Lu Qian believed that his Shuangyefang had expanded to the limit, and the number of people and profits had reached its peak. He really couldn't take the business from Meihuafang anymore.

Gu Nishang has proven to be a golden elixir, so the treatment will naturally be different when she comes here. When the city staff introduced them politely, they asked about their purpose.

Knowing that the newly promoted Jindan Sect came to register, they did not dare to neglect, and sent someone to introduce the two of them, all the way to the central area of ​​Meihuafang, in front of the twenty-fifth floor Spirit Gathering Tower.

Lu Qian had only wandered around Wukuaifang District before, and had never entered here. There are no shops or businesses here at all. There are only monks coming in and out of the Spirit Gathering Tower, and some people gathered around the notice board on the side of the tower to read the various information on it.

At a glance, there are no fewer than ten Jindan masters here.

Lu Qian even saw a Nascent Soul Spirit Lord in front of the sign!
Not daring to look any further, they followed the guidance and entered the tower.

I originally thought that I had to register at the four gates separately, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. There is a special registration office here. As long as you register once, you will be notified to the four gates.

The person presiding over the registration office today is a lazy, young-looking Jin Dan master with long hair shawl. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a big golden toad lying on his shoulder.

"This fellow Taoist is very tough." The real person said, "You are a new Jindan, do you want to register?"

Gu Nichang nodded: "Yunshan Sect, Gu Nichang."

The real person raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, Yunshan Sect is because I have been in seclusion for too long, so I remember it wrong?"

"I remember that there doesn't seem to be any mountain called Yunshan in Cangzhou. It's a coincidence that there is a Yunshan sect in Qingzhou, and I also know their founder. You guys are famous." (End of Chapter)
