When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 874 Cui Family of Qinghe
Red County Shenzhou, Qinghe County.

Qinghe County is located in a plain surrounded by mountains. There is a large river called Qingming flowing through the county. The water of this river is known to be as clear as nectar and as sweet as jade liquid.

It is said that the Qingming River was formed when Yi Di, the god of wine, got drunk and spilled wine, which formed the river. That is why it has so many magical powers.

Of course, this is just a folk legend. In fact, the Cui family of Qinghe has been based here for tens of millions of years, and there are dozens of spiritual veins transplanted here.

With the nourishment of many spiritual veins, the Qingming River gradually began to develop a spirituality.

Drinking the water from the Qingming River is like drinking spiritual liquid, which has infinite benefits for spiritual practice.

Because of the irrigation of this river, the magical rice of Qinghe County is also famous. The Qingming Nine-Spiked Golden Wheat of the Qinghe Cui family and the Glazed Merit Valley of the Jile lineage are known as the two major magical species in the world of earthly immortals, and their prices are comparable to elixirs.

Moreover, it has always been in short supply, just like the mist tea of ​​Yousuixuan, a treasure that is only enjoyed by great monks.

The entire Qinghe County covers an area of ​​one million and is owned by the Cui family. The county town is built on the mountain, and the city walls are made of black iron and green jade. The surface is engraved with gold talismans. It is a first-class formation that even the immortals cannot break.

There are countless spiritual fields and manors on the outskirts of the city, where branches of the Cui family run many businesses. All people in Qinghe County who are not members of the Cui family are slaves and tenants of the Cui family.

The manor where the main branch of the Cui family lives is located in the Qixia Mountains, which is also a famous mountain in Central China. The top of the mountain is shrouded in purple clouds all year round. It is said that this is the result of the magical power of purple air coming from the east left behind by the first ancestor of the Cui family when he ascended to heaven.

There are quite a few people from the Cui family in Qinghe County, but there are not many direct disciples who are qualified to live in Mount Qixia.

But today, Qixia Mountain has welcomed the long-lost bustle and noise. The reason is that on the day when the rice is ripe every Jiazi year, the Cui family will invite familiar aristocratic families to enjoy the Qingming Nine Ears Golden Rice here, which is called the Golden Rice Banquet.

The standard of this banquet is extremely high. Only the aristocratic families and first-class sects recognized by the Cui family are qualified to attend the banquet.

"The spiritual rice has been washed and is about to be put into the stove. Why haven't you brought the clear tea water yet?" Cui's housekeeper in charge of the fire kitchen frowned and scolded, "If you delay the time, how many heads do you have to apologize to the nobles?"

The manager below replied tremblingly: "We have sent the girls to get it, but they have been busy these days and are exhausted. Many of them can't stand it anymore and asked for leave to rest, so..."

"Who allowed you to grant them leave?" The housekeeper glanced at him and said coldly, "Can't you hold on? As long as they are not dead, drag them out to work. The masters haven't had a rest, but these cheap bastards are so lucky. Are they still asking for a price?"

"The work in my kitchen is already very easy. If anyone is not satisfied, don't blame me for sending her to the mines and manors. Those places are really hard, and blood and sweat are shed in one place. These delicate girls will not survive for more than three years!"

"Yes, I will call the sisters out right away and tell them to hurry and collect water. We must not delay the time." The young steward knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the busy scene in the kitchen, the steward secretly spat and said, "If it weren't for that damn thing [Tianshuyuan], the number of people working in the clan would have decreased day by day. Now, it has let these slaves show off."

If it were a thousand years ago, no servant of the Cui family would dare to ask for leave in the name of hard work. But since the appearance of the [Lingshu Dharma Realm], the minds of these servants have become active. After all, they can practice by relying on the Dharma Realm, so they don’t take the masters’ gifts so seriously.

With the emergence of "Dust and Floating World", people's hearts became more wild, and there were even many slaves who secretly fled Qinghe.

But even though the master was ruthless and killed a chicken to scare the monkeys, and harmed a large number of people, he was unable to change the ambitions of these dogs and slaves.

I heard that they were actually secretly in contact with each other and made a pact not to have children or to remain infertile.

The housekeeper was even more furious about this. If they did not have children, wouldn't there be fewer and fewer slaves to serve the masters? If this continued, wouldn't the family order be destroyed and there would be no rules at all?

In order to make up for the shortage, the housekeeper gave birth to more than a thousand children and provided them as slaves for Cui. But his strength alone was naturally a drop in the bucket, and Cui's servants became fewer and fewer day by day. Finally, at this important moment of the Golden Rice Banquet, such a mistake would occur.

When the butler thought of his master's difficulties, he felt so empathetic that he almost cried out loud.

When did the Qinghe Cui family, a family of noble renown, fall to the point where they don't even have enough slaves to use?

However, the Cui family still has its foundation, with more than 10,000 trained cold girls. After a little urging, they took the Qingming cold water back before serving the rice.

The so-called cold girl is a kind of slave unique to the Cui family. This is because there is an undercurrent of cold current in the Qingming River. The quality of this water is unique, clear and sweet, almost like fairy wine.

However, there is nothing that can receive the water of the cold current. It will disappear when it encounters a container and can only be brought out by the human body. In order to collect this cold spring, the Cui family trained a group of young girls. Since they were in the mother's womb, they have been infusing their meridians with cold true energy. As soon as they are born, all their meridians are open and the foundation is established. They are artificial innate Taoist bodies.

However, Cui's move was not to cultivate a genius in Taoism, so the "innate Tao body" that was formed by forcing growth was nothing more than a pseudo-Tao body and had no potential for further improvement.

What Cui needed was just a young girl like this, whose meridians were clear and whose bodies were pure from birth. In the future, she only needed to eat dew and breathe air, and her body would not produce any acquired poisonous and filthy substances. She could use this clean body as a vessel to collect cold current water for Cui.

Because their bodies have been taken away by the cold since birth and they are not warmed by the strong medicine in the future, very few cold girls can live beyond the age of 19. Of course, this is what Cui wants.

After all, the water collected by Hannu is enjoyed by nobles. If one gets old and his face becomes old and decayed, it will no longer appear pure.

This can only be done by a young girl, so that it has a bit of romantic meaning without appearing dirty.

Compared with the opening of the Golden Rice Banquet on time, the fact that several cold women were buried forever in the Qingming River is just a trivial matter.

The people attending the banquet this time, in addition to the five surnames and seven families who have always formed alliances and intermarried with each other, also included the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chenjun, the Jiang family of Jiujiang and other slightly inferior families.

Among them, the reputation of King Langya, Xie of Chenjun, was not above the Five Surnames and Seven Families, but he made a mistake in choosing sides in Xian Tang, which led to the decline of his strength and he could only be ranked lower.

Likewise, many people from the immortal families came to the banquet, including the Jurong Xu family, the Jurong Ge family, the Wanfa Lin family, the Sanxian Island Zhou family...all of them are the heirloom families of the great Taoist sects.

However, the Longhu Zhang family, who was at the top of the Taoist family, did not show up.

Ever since Zhang Daoji took ruthless action, the Zhang family has lost its former prominence, and the voice of this contemporary Heavenly Master is the only one left in Longhu Mountain.

But even so, many of the noble families present possessed strength that was not inferior to that of ordinary first-class sects, and there were at least Yuanshen Zhenxian in the family to suppress them.

The auspicious time has arrived and the banquet begins.

The banquet was as extravagant as that of the rich dragon clan. And it was even more elegant. It was said that the cold spring water that the girl brought back with her body was enough for the dragon clan to study for hundreds of thousands of years.

Just saying this, the "human race" deserves the title of "the first of all spirits".

After a banquet that was worth writing about, the practitioners finally started talking about the theme of this gathering.

"What are your plans for this siege of Qin?" Cui Ji, who was sitting at the top, picked up the mist tea brewed with cold water and asked in a light tone.
