Immortal Road.

Chapter 421: Build a fairy city and succeed the leader

Finally, the Lujiang League was finalized, absorbing a total of thirteen sects with Jindan-stage masters, which meant thirteen guardian seats.

It is equivalent to the entire Lujiang River Basin, where all the prominent forces are under his command!
Lujiang League has become a true Lujiang League!

Half of the area of ​​Luxi has completely become a whole!
There were more than twenty Jindan Zhenren at the scene alone.

Including those who did not come, all the forces combined can break through the thirty mark!

This can already be called a behemoth, the first echelon under the top forces. When united, it is enough to sweep away all kinds of monsters and demons and overwhelm the entire State of Lu!

Of course, it is still in the early stages of adjustment and we cannot say that the relationship is close yet.

Everyone gathers together, either because of regional interests, or because of on-site coercion, or because of fate, and through their respective "investments and shares", a temporary bond is formed.

As to whether it can develop in the future, that remains to be seen.

Lin Shan was very satisfied with the result.

He hadn't even thought about unifying the Lujiang River Basin when this group of people came rushing to his door, giving him the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Speaking of which, I really have to thank Mr. Jingxuan and his wife.

It is precisely because of their leadership that the current situation has come about, which is a great help.

"From now on, Xianyin Pond will be the headquarters of the Lujiang League. I want to set up a city here as the base camp of the league!"

"It is usually used to train elite disciples within the alliance and for exchanges and trade between parties. In non-wartime, there must be at least three elders and five guardians stationed there!"

"In a few decades, this place will become the center of all government orders and economy in the entire Lujiang River Basin, and will be built into a prosperous iron bucket fairy city!"

"What do you think?"

Lin Shan stood on the high platform and announced in a deep voice that a grand blueprint had been constructed.

The group of Jindan Zhen people below didn't even think about it and could predict with their toes that once they really built the largest fairy city in the Lujiang River Basin.

Then, the unity and cohesion of the Lujiang League will inevitably be unprecedentedly tight, becoming a wild horse that can break free from the reins of the top forces, and the snowball will get bigger and bigger in the near future!
but.

The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk.

It is unknown whether the top forces in Lu will tolerate the birth of such a force beyond their control, whether they will intervene, or even impose sanctions.

In the past, the Lujiang League had barely passed the tenth level of the Golden Core Stage, and was mainly led by the powerful Yang family. It was more or less a local force and had not risen to the regional level.

Now, the Lujiang River Basin has been nominally unified, spanning a full half of western Shandong!

The scale is quite large and it is hard not to attract attention.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the ancestors of all major forces are now away from home, closing their doors to the mountains. Even if news gets to those places, they most likely won't disrupt their own status quo to hold them accountable just because a new alliance is hastily formed.

Most likely, we have to wait until the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage return before we can truly open the mountain gates and return to the world.

This period is neither long nor short, and no one knows how long it can be delayed and how much time Lujiang League can be given to develop.

This cannot be predicted, we can only leave it to fate.

Although even if the Lujiang League develops, it is still far from reaching the level of the top sects, but the cake of the Lu Kingdom's cultivation world is so big, and the resources and power generated are so great, it is definitely impossible to allow another alliance to grow bigger.

Geopolitics is best fragmented, which is beneficial to their long-term hegemony.

No one wants to see a stable, harmonious and united Lujiang League.

It will be strangled in the cradle; it is just a matter of time.

However, the general trend cannot be changed because of one person's retreat.

Now the Lujiang League is at its peak and has the greatest momentum in the entire Lujiang River Basin. Who dares to say that I want to withdraw from the group?
For their own sake, the Yang family had no choice but to go all the way with the Xun Gu Sect, with no turning back.

The four great families of Wangyue City and the four sects of Lunan are the elders of the Lujiang Alliance. Naturally, they cannot give up the power and interests they have already obtained.

At this point, other sects had no choice but to join in.

As for the future,

All we can do is look at the methods of this ancient leader and how fast he grows.

Most people are not optimistic about the growth rate. No matter how fast you are, it is impossible to break through the Nascent Soul stage in a short period of time. How can it be that easy?

By the time you reach the Nascent Soul stage, the daylily will be cold.

However, if he can find another way, attract some foreign aid from other channels, or form alliances, or establish good relations with some top forces and obtain some preferential treatment and permissions, the matter may turn around.

In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

We have lived for so many years, so we naturally know everything.

There is room for negotiation on everything. It is not that things cannot be solved. It depends on all aspects of your situation, including your connections, strength, financial resources, value of utilization, background, potential, etc.

Since Lin Shan dares to do this, let's take a gamble with him.

If it works out, you will be my future loyal follower. If it fails, we will go our separate ways in the future!
Lin Shan thought so too!

Anyway, he was a genius in the immortal way and had achieved golden elixir at a young age. He definitely couldn't keep a low profile in the State of Lu, so he just decided to be high-profile.

Taking advantage of this God-given opportunity, in the absence of suppression from above, he frantically expanded his power and territory to exert his influence.

Then quietly search for antiques and collect ancient charm.

This was the purpose when Xun Gu Sect was first established.

If the Yuanying stage ancestors of the major forces return early and are dissatisfied with their Lujiang Alliance and want to break it up, then just let them break it up!

If you can't afford to offend me, I can avoid you. Anyway, I have accepted the ancient charm, and power doesn't matter.

Whether it is the Xun Gu Sect or the Lujiang League, they are just tools of mine. I will not lose my life because of tools.

Today, the Xun Gu Sect can hardly move forward outside the Lujiang River Basin. It is subject to difficulties and obstruction from all sides. Even many franchise stores dare to default on the payment of spirit stones. It can be said that its development has been restricted.

If you want to make your mark, you can only expand your scale, continue to move forward, and become bigger and stronger. This is the only way.

There is one more point, the most important reason.

Lin Shan knew a particularly crucial inside story, so he was quite confident in himself and was not in a hurry.

That is the true identity of Mr. Jinglian!

Many big men from the neighboring countries such as Lu, Chu, and Jin all ran to chase after Master Jinglian who had stolen the special treasure, the 'Hyacinth Mother and Child Device'.

On the surface, this person was just a powerful Nascent Soul stage cultivator who had been living in seclusion for a long time in the East China Sea of ​​the Song Dynasty.

Although he dared to challenge the Black Lotus Sect, it showed that he was quite capable and courageous, otherwise he would not have dared to take advantage of the situation and snatch the Hyacinth Mother Artifact.

But in fact, when he was in Jingchuan, Ludong, and had just broken through the Soul Pill Stage and killed the guardian Qiu of Jiuyou Sect, he heard it clearly through the star gate.

The big boss from the sky, Lord Youying, told Young Master Jiuyou that the immortal envoy patrolling the upper realm corresponding to this world is named "Jinglian"!
Most of the Jinglian lay Buddhists in this world are the reincarnations of the souls of immortal messengers, and they have special missions to perform here.

Therefore, it is not so easy to take down Mr. Jinglian.

It has only been more than ten years, so there is no need to worry too much. Just do your best.

He was not worried, so naturally, those Jindan Zhenren people could only follow him. As for his subordinates, they had not yet reached this level, and most of them did not have such a long-term vision. They only cared about the small things at hand and were busy working for the future.

"My Yang family will definitely support what Master Lin said!"

Master Yang supports him no matter what, and the two of them are so close that they are almost like one person.

"Master Lin has a far-sighted vision, which is beyond our reach!"

Everyone flattered him, followed his arrangements, and said they would send people to help build the city.

Lin Shan immediately started to discuss the plan with everyone, including how each family should contribute, how many people to send, how much funds to allocate, how long the construction period would be, how to plan the city, how to divide the garrisons of various forces, and how to coordinate the training methods within the alliance.
After discussing it for a whole day and night, we finally finalized everything.

After all, it is a fairy city and the future base camp of Lujiang League, so there are too many things to consider and balance the interests of all parties. Wrangling and tolerance are inevitable, so it took a lot of time.

The small forces below the square could only wait. They had no right to participate in suggestions and decision-making. They all sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated.

After all problems are resolved.

Only the most important and final link remains.

Re-establish the leader!

A family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a ruler for a day.

The previous leader of Lujiang League passed away and the memorial service has ended, so the next leader should be put on the agenda.

Master Yang was the first to step forward. He had no idea how many times he had been a stand-in in the past two days. He performed impromptu on the spot without any prior rehearsal.

"My Yang family proposes that the position of the second leader of the Lujiang League should be inherited by the leader of the Xun Gu Sect, Lin!"

“The reasons are as follows:”

"First, before his death, Elder Leader Yang personally asked me to pass the position of leader to Leader Lin. This is legitimate and reasonable."

“Second, Sect Leader Lin is gifted with extraordinary talent and strength. He has reached the Golden Core stage at a young age and is a genius in the immortal way. Whether in terms of potential or combat power, he has far surpassed everyone else in the alliance. Sooner or later, he will reach the pinnacle and lead the alliance to create a vast world!”

"Third, when the Lujiang League was on the verge of collapse and was in trouble both internally and externally, Master Lin stepped forward and saved the day, saving the empire from collapse. In the end, he succeeded in securing the overall situation and played a great role."

"Fourth, Master Lin is a man of great talent and vision. He calls on everyone to donate money and invest to jointly build the Immortal City Base Camp. This is a great plan for the ages, enough to benefit future generations. We are far from having the courage to do so."

After Master Yang made an impassioned speech and listed the pros and cons.

There were warm cheers in the square, all welcoming Lin Shan to inherit the throne. It can be seen that his reputation in the Lujiang League has reached an unprecedented level.

He is the leader of the alliance and everyone obeys him.

Other forces did not dare to neglect it and immediately racked their brains to think of flattering words and implore the new leader to ascend the throne.

Lin Shan's eyes were moist and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Lin is still young, with little knowledge and experience. He is not as experienced as the elders in the alliance, and he is impulsive and irritable. I am afraid that he will not be able to manage such a large alliance."

"All of you Jindan masters have strategies in mind, sharp eyes, and are well-educated. You have experienced many vicissitudes of life and have walked more roads than I have drunk water. I, Lin, cannot compare to you."

“If I really hastily take over the position of leader today, if something goes wrong in the future, I will make a big mistake, which will be regretted for the rest of my life. When I look back, I may die a hundred years later!”

"I think it's not right, not right!"

He was making excuses on the podium, and everyone below knew exactly what was going on.

Just think of it as him following the ancient ritual of "rejecting and declining three times".

Everyone tried to persuade him earnestly and kindly and cooperated with his performance.

Lin Shan sighed and refused to accept it.

Everyone tried to persuade him with kind words and pressed him step by step, insisting that he had to be the leader. Some people even wanted to "die to prove their integrity"!
In the end, he was unable to resist the crowd and could not refuse the invitation. He had no choice but to sigh to the sky and put on the yellow robe.

"Well, since you all trust me so much, how can I let you down?"

"This position of leader"

"I feel so ashamed to accept this!"

The whole audience cheered as they watched him put on a yellow robe, walk step by step to the center of the platform, and sit on the throne of the leader.

"Alliance leader!"

"Alliance leader!"

"Alliance leader!"

He shouted for a long time, and his voice shook the earth.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Lin Shan stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly, his voice gradually becoming inaudible.

"From now on, the new order of the Lujiang League is established, and a large number of new members have joined. The leader alone may not be able to manage the entire Lujiang River Basin."

"And Lin is young and inexperienced, and lacks moral integrity, so I should appoint another deputy leader to assist me in managing the affairs of the alliance."

"The Yang family of Luzhong County was once a great family of cultivators, and the old leader Yang was the first leader. He made an indelible contribution to the development of the Lujiang League."

"Therefore, Master Yang is appointed as the deputy leader, in charge of the entire alliance, managing everything inside and outside. I hope everyone will cooperate with him!"

This is exactly what it means to return a favor.

The Yang family has supported him many times and is a solid ally of the Xun Gu Sect, so Lin Shan will naturally not be stingy and will also support the Yang family so that his own power will be secure.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, because there was no such thing as deputy leader before.

After the leader comes the elder.

Now, a deputy leader has been added to take charge of everything. Isn't this a disguised way of weakening their rights?
However, this time, Lin Shan was the leader of the alliance and the situation was already decided. These people did not have the courage to resist and could only accept it.

Master Yang did not refuse, but took it generously.

He knew that this was a mutually beneficial choice, and as deputy leader, he had to fulfill his corresponding obligations and maintain the correct political stance.

Lin Shan’s intention goes beyond this.

Although he became the leader of the alliance, he did not have much time to manage affairs. It would be a complete waste of his energy for things other than cultivation, which was completely putting the cart before the horse for him.

For a practitioner, the most important strength is strength.

Strength is based on realm.

I don’t even have enough time to cultivate myself, so how can I have the time to care about those trivial things?

Of course, I have to support another agent to help me take care of the trivial matters within the alliance.

The Black Skull Demon Lord of Xun Gu Sect occupies an elder seat. Master Zhan Kong has just broken through to the Jindan stage and does not have enough experience, so he can only look for Master Yang.

And he not only needs to practice, but also needs to travel around the outside world in the future. It is impossible for him to be trapped in the Lujiang League for the rest of his life.

Power is always just a tool to serve oneself.
