Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 258: Re-distribution of Quotas
When Master Kang came out of retreat this time, his eldest son Changyi was already half a year old. Master Kang was nearly fifty years old at this time, and he had just had a son in two lifetimes, so he was naturally happy.

The baby's face looks more like its mother, with quite handsome features between his eyebrows and eyes.

It was his first time seeing his father but he was not shy. He climbed onto Kang Dabao and made a lot of noise, then gave Kang Dazhang a fresh bubble tea. Only then was he carried away by the somewhat frightened Huo Ying.

"Has the Madam come to see you?" Kang Dabao shifted his gaze from the soul-nourishing jade hanging around Chang Yi's neck and asked softly to Zhou Yixiu, who had been in charge of miscellaneous affairs these days.

Zhou Yixiu is a good spiritual elder, if it weren't for the fact that his senior brothers all have the hope of becoming immortals and are practicing in seclusion. Even Chu Huer, who has the longest life span, is running around and accumulating merits for the foundation of spiritual creatures, and has no time to rest.

It is indeed not his turn to be in charge of general affairs.

But he still has this ability. After hearing Kang Dabao's question, Zhou Yixiu immediately answered:

"I personally came to see her once when she was one month old, and gave Madam Huo a sum of spiritual stones. There was a maid named Yu'er who came frequently, every ten days or half a month, and every time she came, she would bring some good things to Yi'er.

A master of the Fei family who is a distant relative also came to our house on his 100th day of mourning and brought us a generous gift. He also brought a message from Sima Fei, saying that the silk book and the gift list are here and need to be opened by Senior Brother himself. "

Kang Dabao nodded and took it, but did not look at it first. He just pondered for a while and asked, "Before the retreat, Junior Brother told me that the planting of the Glazed Treasure Tree had made some progress. What is the situation now? Are there any resources needed?"

Zhou Yixiu heard this and a look of joy appeared between his brows. "Junior brother has worked out a simple method. Plant twelve Fortune Vines on the side of the Glazed Treasure Tree to provide the Qi of the Seven Treasures. Then, collect the sunlight from the sun and the cool air from the cold moon to transform into water and condense into dew. Water the tree roots once every ten days. Within eight or ten years, you will see the results.

However, gathering Qi and light is a difficult task. If a Qigong practitioner has bad luck, he may not be able to gather enough for ten days even after spending a month.

Therefore, the rewards for the tasks that Junior Brother posted in the Good Deeds Hall are also higher. Now Junior Brother Sun Fu and Junior Brother Li Bing are collecting them for a long time, so they can barely meet the demand. "

Master Kang had a little surprise on his face. Although the two spiritual objects, Great Sun Dawn and Cold Moon Fresh Air, had great reputations, they were the most fair spiritual objects in the world. Anyone could collect them, no matter if they were a minor Qigong cultivator or a great immortal.

The sun and the moon are impartial and benefit all things. This is not empty talk.

It's just that these two spiritual objects are generally used in refining weapons and making elixirs, but Zhou Yixiu was able to come up with this method to cultivate spiritual plants, which is quite ingenious.

Kang Dabao suddenly felt sorry for Zhou Yixiu. A Jiashi with such talent was an important talent in Yunjiaozhou. If Zhou Yixiu had been able to join some big sects in his early years and not wasted these years, his achievements would have been much more brilliant.

"You've worked hard, Junior Brother." Master Kang felt like he had found a treasure. He comforted him, thought for a moment, and then asked again, "Where are Wanying and the others?"

"Junior Brother Chu is taking care of her. Senior Uncle Hei Lu came to see Senior Sister once a month ago. Senior Sister begged Senior Uncle Hei Lu to let her go, but he refused. He only said that after Senior Brother, the Sect Leader, comes out of seclusion, if she has time, she can go see him."

"Then I will leave right away. Since this is related to Master Uncle, you should have told me earlier."

Kang Dabao got up and walked away without stopping. After a short while, he arrived at the Biha Cave.

Every time Master Kang sees the Black-shoe Taoist recently, he feels that the latter's aura has become more restrained. If the Black-shoe Taoist in the past was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, with its edge exposed; then the Black-shoe Taoist now is like a heavy sword without an edge or blade, with great skill and simplicity.

Kang Dabao's vision and knowledge were not very good, so he couldn't tell what caused this change. He just knew that it must be a good thing.

The Taoist priest Heishi stopped the empty greetings from the headmaster Kang and said bluntly, "What do you think about the matter of Wanying?"

Kang Dabao thought for a while before speaking: "The third brother has already been to Jingnan Prefecture and destroyed the Qigong gang that blackmailed him and his wife, and slaughtered the entire gang.

As for the fact that they harmed the members of the small clan of the Yuan family in Jingnan, after all, it has not happened yet, and my nephew still wants to keep it a secret. Even if the Yuan family finds out and comes to our door, the worst that can happen is that Feng Wan will be handed over and a sum of money will be paid. At least my junior sister can be saved."

The black-shoe Taoist's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "I'm afraid Wanying won't do it."

The head of the Kang family said sternly, "As long as the fake Yuan family is alive, our family cannot provoke him. My niece was the head of the Chongming family first, and then the Wanying senior brother. This matter is not up to her."

After nodding, the Taoist Heishi asked again, "It's a pity that I was born twenty years later, otherwise I would have to use my flying sword to reason with the alchemist of the Yuan family in Jingnan. Dabao, do you know why the couple were targeted by the Yuan family's small clan?"

Kang Dabao frowned when he heard this. Normally, cultivators would be robbed just for money and sex, but since Taoist Heilu asked this, it must not be that simple.

"Feng Wan is a pure and spiritual body. The second daughter of the Yuan family practices the way of the Buddha Mother Mingfei. She wants to take his essence to strengthen herself and serve the Dharma King." The Taoist in black shoes said slowly.

"The Buddhist family of the Buddha Mother Mingfei Daoxue Mi?" Buddhism is not popular in Yunjiao Prefecture. If Master Kang had not read a lot of leisure books, he would probably not understand a word of the inheritance described by the Taoist Heili.

However, Shannan Dao is clearly the area of ​​Zhaixing Tower, and Zen Buddhism is very rare here, not to mention the Xuemi Buddhism, which is considered a niche among Buddhists.

How did the Yuan family of Jingnan Prefecture, as a local prominent family, choose a legitimate daughter to study this art?

Just as he was thinking this, the Taoist Hei Lu opened his mouth to explain: "Half a century ago, there was a Kanbu who guarded the Benying Temple in the Snow Mountain Road who went on a journey. He paid homage to the Star Picking Tower Master with a letter from the Dharma King, and then traveled through the 26 prefectures in the Shannan Road and selected nine female foundation-building practitioners to pass on the Dharma to breed.

He claimed that after sixty years, he would go to Shannan again to share joy and form the golden elixir with the person with the deepest Buddhist wisdom among the nine people. This Yuan Xiyue was one of the nine people.

“Both of them have formed the golden elixir? A temple guardian abbot is so amazing? This Benying Temple is undoubtedly the largest temple in the Snow Mountain Road.” The head of the Kang family was astonished and asked, “Then this temple guardian abbot must be the Buddhist disciple of Benying Temple, right?”

"That's hard to say. It depends on what kind of golden elixir he forms. But if Feng Wan's pure and spiritual body is real, then it can be a top-notch cauldron. After Yuan Xiyue has taken his essence, if she can cultivate into the form of Qingmiao Mingfei, and then have intercourse with that abbot, it is possible that the quality of the elixir can be improved by one point." Taoist Heilü said lightly.

"A pure and spiritual body," a wry smile appeared on the face of Sect Leader Kang, thinking that his junior sister was very lucky to have encountered such a rare spiritual body.

This spirit body has a great reputation, but it is of no benefit to cultivation. It is only useful in dual cultivation and can be called a natural cauldron.

However, this kind of spiritual body usually only appears in female cultivators. I didn’t expect that Feng Wan, a male cultivator, could also be born with this body. It is really rare.

"According to Uncle Master, Feng Wan is so important that I dare not keep her. As long as Yuan Xiyue can protect my sister, I can hand over her useless husband to her." Kang Dabao pondered for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice.

Taoist Hei Lu did not look surprised at all, and said bluntly: "I knew that even if you achieve the Ice Leaf Foundation, it is difficult for you to change your cowardly character. The abbot of the temple protection will not come for another 30 years, so there is nothing to be afraid of, and we should take the long view.

Now that you are the genuine son-in-law of the Fei family, you can't avoid the cause and effect at all. It's not worth it to be hesitant. You might as well ask for more benefits from your wife's family.

Chongming Sect now has two people who have established their foundation, which makes it somewhat important and no longer despised as before. There are few mediocre people among your fellow disciples. If they all achieve the foundation in the next 20 to 30 years, then you can be considered a prosperous sect in Yunjiao Province.

By then, Qinghan Court will also be yours, and with the Fei family's Sheshan Hall as your support, Chongming Sect's prestige will not be much worse than Dingnan Niu's back then, and it will be just around the corner for it to become a sect as famous as Hancheng Yue's."

"Uncle Master really thinks highly of my family." Kang Dabao smiled bitterly. The Dingnan Niu family has at least a thousand years of history. How could he catch up with them by just spending a few decades?
Taoist Hei Lu didn't say much, and just let the matter be settled according to his opinion.

The relationship between Taoist Heilu and the old leader is not fake. Since he wants to protect He Wanying and her good-for-nothing husband, then he will do it.

From the tone of his voice, as long as the fake Dan from the Yuan family doesn't come out, no one in the Jingnan Yuan family can compete with the Black-Shoe Taoist; even if that fake Dan joins the game, then even if the sky falls, the uncle will take the lead, so what can we, the younger generations, say?

When Sect Leader Kang thought of this, he heard Taoist Hei Lu said, "After you go back, find a time to go to Shu Jian Sect and ask Ye Zhen to find a time to hold a meeting. You will attend on my behalf. Just say that the amount of spiritual stone mine income in Tanggu County is a bit wrong recently and we need to discuss it."

Kang Dabao was stunned when he heard this, "They don't have the guts to steal Master Uncle's spirit stones, right?"

Taoist Hei Lu sighed softly, "Most of the people who are building foundations in Xinyun League are mediocre, so of course they don't dare. But this quota was set in the past, and it's time to revise it. Otherwise, what difference does it make whether you and Qing Ge'er, two people who are building foundations in Bingye, succeed or fail?"

Kang Dabao thought that the spiritual stone mine in Tanggu County was built with great difficulty, and the profits in the past few years had been used by various companies to repay the advance payments. Now that he would finally see the return of the money in the next one or two years, if Taoist Heilu proposed to change the quotas for each company, it would probably cause a huge reaction.

It is normal for the New Cloud Alliance, which has little cohesion to begin with, to fall apart in the blink of an eye.

Tie Liuyun considered the establishment of the New Yun League as one of his political achievements. If he really messed up this matter, he would be hated by the deputy commander of the Yunjiaozhou Demon Suppression Division. Taoist Hei Lu could see the concerns in Kang Dabao's eyes and explained, "Don't think too much. Tie Liuyun's previous promises are not counted. He made these promises in order to deceive the various families into giving up their lives, betray the Liangyi Sect, and pave the way for his position in the Yunjiaozhou court.

Kuang Liuting did not promise a fifty-year mining right, but only twenty years; the spiritual stone output of that spiritual stone vein was less than 60% of what Tie Liuyun said before. "

"This..." Master Kang was stunned at first, but then he felt it was quite normal.

After all, officials of the imperial court have always been good at deceiving their superiors and concealing the truth from their subordinates. What wouldn't they do to climb the ladder and make a good career?
If you think about it carefully, compared with a certain county lord who has not been in charge for a long time, Tie Zhihui's boastful behavior is nothing in the officialdom of David's Immortal Dynasty.

However, the five forces of the New Cloud Alliance were dragged into this pirate ship. They emptied their assets and spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. It took them three or four years to set up the formation, and another three or four years to recover their investment.

It took nearly eight years just to get back the investment. It's not that there was no profit in the remaining twelve years, but the amount was far below expectations, and might not be worth the risks that the company had taken before.

You must know that the families of the New Cloud Alliance had already offended the Liangyi Sect when the situation was still unclear, and had surrendered to the Immortal Dynasty to obey its orders.

In this way, the price offered by Tie Liuyun is not considered high, and everyone does not need to be grateful to him.

As for going to Kuang Liuting to file a complaint against Tie Liuyun, he is now the bona fide right-hand man of the lord, is it worth it?
At least now the provincial government in Yunjiao Province has been able to enforce discipline, and the New Yun League families did not bet on the wrong horse. They just made less money, but did not lose much capital.

If Commander Tie still has some shame and feels that he owes the Zhu family something and accepts a favor, the Zhu family might even feel that they have made a profit.

"What about the quota? What do you think, uncle?" Sect Master Kang calculated in his mind the shares that had been agreed upon by each family in the past. The Shujian Sect had 25%, Zifeng Valley and the Feiyue family each had 20%, the Chongming Sect and the Heilu Taoist each had 15% and the Hemu Sect had half.

The quotas for the last three companies were initially held by Taoist Heilu alone, including the spirit stones raised for the construction of the mineral veins and formations, which were all paid by Taoist Heilu after he killed four foundation-building masters from the Ruijin Sect.

It was not until later that the Black Shoe Taoist completely drew a line between himself and the Hemu Taoist that he threw his half share of spirit stones back to the Hemu Taoist.

"Someone wants to take 20%, and Hemu Dao's half share must also be retained. You go and negotiate with Chongming Sect yourself, and I will not take care of the rest." Taoist Heilu said in a relaxed tone, as if he didn't think this was a problem.

"Yes," said Master Kang without any hesitation.

This share is not outrageous, the increase is not that much, and it should be negotiable.

But this time I'm afraid I need to ask the third brother to go along, so that he can speak louder.

But before that, I have to go to Fei's house first according to Sima Fei's letter.

----

The Chongming Building was quite lively that day. Several patrolmen from the Bad Marshal's Mansion gathered here after their shift as usual, drinking the rare Golden Deer Wine.

This wine is brewed with the essence and blood of the young of the first-level spiritual beast, the grass deer. It has the effects of invigorating blood circulation, promoting body fluids, strengthening yang and improving health.

Ever since Duan Anle handed over the affairs of the caravan to Mingzhe and Pei Que, he was finally able to free himself up and sort out many of the affairs of the zoo.

The spiritual beast breeding that Chongming Sect had been promoting for a long time was finally on the right track, and the first to succeed was the breeding of grass deer.

Spiritual animals like grass deer reproduce very quickly, giving birth to seven to ten cubs in ten years, so they are not very valuable. However, they have the advantage of having a beautiful lover, so they are also quite popular among low-level Kun Daoists, and they don't have much trouble selling them.

But in every litter of grass deer, there are always one or two with dull and yellow fur, a color that is not pleasing to the eye, so few people buy them even at a discount.

Duan Anle discussed with Jin Shilun and decided to take his essence and blood to make wine.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Deer Wine is so popular. If these patrolmen did not have some friendship with Jin Shilun, the master chef of Chongming Tower, they would not have been able to taste this popular wine.

Among the several patrolmen, Mr. Fu and Mr. Guo, who had gone to the Fantasy Sword Alliance shop to collect the usual fees last time, were among them.

The two of them were the robbers who were recruited along with the Shao brothers and sisters. They could be considered as the direct subordinates of Sect Leader Kang when he was the mayor of Chongming Market. They had some abilities, but not much.

The two of them went from being two minions in Majiazhai to two patrolmen in the first market town of Pingrong County. Their resources for cultivation increased dramatically.

From a robber who was hated by everyone to a decent and upright official in the temple, his identity can be said to be a complete transformation.

So, what does the one, two, three, and four bosses mean in the past? Now, in the eyes of the two, there is only one sun, County Master Kang.

If these people knew at this moment that the Shao brothers and sisters had set up a trap for the head of Kangda in the past, it would be a disaster. Shao Meng would probably be tied up and sent to the bed of the county lord Kangda the next day.

As everyone was talking, they saw Jin Shilun personally carrying a food box into the private room. Several patrolmen who were full of wine and food immediately stopped making noises. Master Fu and his men stood up, bowed and said:
"Why bother Fellow Daoist Jin to do this chore himself! If you are short of manpower, please tell our brothers. Although we are crude, we can still do chores like serving dishes and pouring tea well."

"Haha, I heard something new, so I came to ask all of you fellow Taoists about it." As the direct descendant of the foundation-building sect, Jin Shilun was humble. He pulled Master Fu to sit down together and asked softly.

"Ah? But what happened in Yuanyang Hall today?" As soon as Master Guo asked, Jin Shilun's eyes lit up. He personally poured a glass of wine for Master Guo, patted his shoulder, and asked slowly:
"Brother Guo really knows, please tell me quickly. Jin has tried many ways, but he hasn't found out the truth yet, please tell me."

Don't look at Master Guo's high status in the market. He doesn't even take the wealth and stewards of a large foundation-building sect like the Fantasy Sword Alliance seriously.

Now after hearing Jin Shilun's words "Brother Guo", she narrowed her eyes, her face turned pale, and her right hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. She was reluctant to swallow it for a long time.

"Brother Fu and I only arrived afterwards. When we arrived, the insect lady had already been kidnapped." Master Guo took a sip of the wine in his glass. "I only heard from the guests that the one who did it was a middle-aged cultivator with a very high level of cultivation. I'm afraid he is a foundation-building cultivator."

"Captain Deng asked Lord Lan to chase him for a while, and he did catch up, but he almost didn't make it back." Master Fu was halfway through his words when he was kicked by Master Guo. He dared to talk nonsense when it came to foundation building. This man must be drunk.

"I heard that Lady Chong was sold to Yuanyang Hall by the Shen family of Zifeng Valley." Other patrolmen also interrupted at this time, but were stopped by Mr. Guo.

However, when Jin Shilun heard this, he knew who the foundation-building master who appeared was, and thanked him and went back.

Jin Shilun returned to the room and took out two letters, one to the clan and the other to the Shiweiguan Temple.

The city lieutenant Deng Baichuan had just returned to the official temple from visiting the alchemist at the temple. Lan Gongfeng was from the wife's family of the Sima Gunjia, and could be considered a direct descendant of the Sima Mansion of the provincial court.

Unexpectedly, the one who went to chase the troublemaker was seriously injured and almost cut off his path. Now the huge Chongmingfang City is left without a foundation-building warrior to guard it.

As soon as the incident happened, Deng Baichuan reported it to the Sima Mansion and begged to send a skilled foundation-building expert to station here. Although it is true that this Lan Gongfeng is loyal and reliable, his skills are far inferior to those of the Fire Dragon Taoist back then.

Deng Baichuan also had to prepare for his foundation building, and he had no time to spend too much energy in this market. After seeing Jin Shilun's letter, Deng Baichuan became more anxious and wrote another letter to Sima Mansion.

The reply regarding the arrangement of the new offerings came quickly, but it did not come from Sima Mansion. Deng Baichuan sensed something wrong and after reading the letter, his brows furrowed even more.

"It's actually him. This is not right! I need to go find Kang Dabao and have a good discussion with him."
