Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 210 Targeting
It is easy to defend but difficult to gain happiness.

Yi Fu followed Yi Dong when Purple Mountain was established.

His prestige and connections are rare among the Yi family. For many things, he can get them done just by giving an order.

But it is easy to defend but difficult to defend, and not many people truly obey his orders.

Especially the elders of the six departments of the Yi family. Even the Ministry of Industry originally controlled by Yi Shounan, after Yi Fu took over, the attitudes of other people in the Ministry of Industry became ambiguous.

Therefore, many things, whether easy to handle or difficult to do, require you to personally step in.

For example, the matter of the Divine Academy.

To become a god, you can't just extract the soul and tap it with the Book of the Earth.

The gods of the fairyland need to undertake certain tasks, such as establishing a divine realm covering the earth, and learning various magical arts to monitor the activities of living beings and regulate the earth's veins, and even to manage vital energy, the sky, the earth, the four seasons, and the five elements.

Although becoming a god cannot be as close to immortality as a congenital god, for a god who has reached a certain level, with the help of the power of the Book of Earth, it is not a problem for the soul to survive for hundreds of years. If a god becomes the top seventh-level god in a county, he can even live for one or two thousand years or even longer.

With such a long soul lifespan, naturally not everyone can become a god.

The God Academy in the fairyland is for those who are preparing to become gods to learn various knowledge during their lifetime, so that they can quickly get into work after becoming gods after death.

If the Immortal Kingdom could control all the books on earth, then the Divine Academy might one day become similar to the Taoist Academy, allocating places to each family and trying to be fair.

Unfortunately, most of the county-level land books are in the hands of aristocratic families.

Among the quotas of gods in each state, the official immortal officials only occupy a small core part, and most of the quotas are among the immortal cultivation families.

In other counties, deciding the number of gods may require the various families to exchange interests and negotiate various details.

But the situation in Pingyuan County is very simple.

Because apart from a small number of places needed by the Immortal Kingdom, Yi Dong had no intention of allowing members of aristocratic families other than the Yi family to become gods.

After Yi Shounan arrived in Jinshan City, he quickly negotiated everything with Zijinshan Academy, the oldest college in Jinshan City.

Zijinshan College has always recruited students from the entire Xia County. Most of the outstanding scholars are not from the Yi family. Most of these scholars are people with real academic qualities and moral character.

Yi Shounan felt that to become a god of the Yi family, one first needed to have a certain amount of knowledge, and then it was a matter of thought.

It’s not that we really need some moral role models, but we need to select some smart people who are loyal to the Yi family.

Yi Shounan didn't ask Jinshan City for help for free.

In order to let Purple Mountain College help the Yi family cultivate people of good character, he paid a lot of price, from paying spirit stones to helping buy books from other states and so on.

Some of the rules of Jinshan City were established by Yi Dong. Not to mention that it is easy to defend but difficult to defend, even the immortal officials of Pingyuan County will not use force to oppress the mortals of Jinshan City.

It was precisely because of Yi Dong's protection that Jinshan City, which gathered a large amount of knowledge and wealth, did not attract the covetousness of some immortal cultivation families.

Moreover, Jinshan City is not an ordinary mortal city.

There are many mortals from the Yi family in Jinshan City. Those mortals have close ties with the Yi family's cultivators. Yi Shounan has just replaced Yi Fu and will not offend anyone easily.

The one hundred and second year of Kanshui.

With the completion of the Academy of Gods in the county town, the news of the deification was spreading rapidly.

Many people in Pingyuan County were excited at the beginning. For many people, cultivating immortals was very difficult. Now that the Yi family has dominated the immortal cultivators in Pingyuan County, most of them feel that cultivating immortals is tied to mining.

No matter whether one is from a noble family or a casual cultivator, one never knows when one will be recruited by the Yi family to join the militia and mine underground.

This also caused many ordinary cultivators who had little confidence in cultivating immortality to become even more desperate.

You should know that some mineral veins are harmful to cultivators, especially some high-level mineral veins.

Nowadays, in Pingyuan County, countless cultivators have been cut off from their path due to mining.

Those who have lost hope of promotion naturally hope to become gods.

However, soon, all the cultivators in Pingyuan County were poured a bucket of cold water.

The Yi family gave most of the god quotas to the mortals of the Yi family.

Even the cultivators from the Yi family had no share, let alone those cultivators who did not belong to the Yi family, who had no hope at all.

Today, as a sixth-rank family, the Yi family has certain law enforcement rights over the cultivators from aristocratic families in the county.

It's impossible to kill him at will, but it's not a problem to find a reason to punish him by making him mine for decades.

The noble families didn't dare to cause trouble, and those independent cultivators didn't dare to jump out and make irresponsible remarks.

Today, the Yi family is not only notorious in Pingyuan County, but also in the entire Qingzhou.

Some cultivators said that the Yi family grew stronger in a peaceful environment by relying on the rules of chaotic times.

You can see this from the history of the Yi family’s rise.

He dominated Xia County by taking advantage of the Kunxu Rebellion and using the Kunxu cultivators to massacre the cultivators and mortals from several families in Xia County.

To dominate Pingyuan County, he took advantage of the chaos of ferocious beasts to kill people indiscriminately, and forced the Zhu family to leave Pingyuan County. The An family was severely damaged, and the only golden elixir in the family was killed.

The Yi family is notorious nowadays.

The immortal cultivators in Pingyuan County were all angry but dared not speak out against the Yi family's monopoly on the number of gods.

This year, in the county seat of Pingyuan County.

Three airborne immortal officials arrived.

These three people are Shen Ziyu, Shen Guang, and Guan Na.

They all have the cultivation level of the Great Dao Golden Elixir, and are the people who are specifically responsible for designing and establishing the divine world in Pingyuan County.

At this moment, in a hall.

"The situation in Pingyuan County is a bit difficult to handle." "If it were easy, they wouldn't have sent the three of us here together. In other counties in Qingzhou, those sixth-rank families are either branches of powerful families or have invited external assistance to control the Book of the Land.

The Dao Yuanying or Fanxu who helped them seize the Book of Earth have already left. A Dao Jindan can be on par with most sixth-grade families.

The Yi family in Pingyuan County has a person who can kill a Dao Yuanying."

“Pingyuan County has about one million people who want to be conferred as gods, but the Yi family is only willing to offer 50,000 places. How can this be resolved?

Why don't we send a message to the Qingzhou Prefecture? Without a Dao Yuanying here, we can't negotiate with the Yi family on an equal footing."

"If we report everything, how can we climb up the ladder in the underworld? I think if Yi Dong doesn't want to talk, he can talk to Yi Shounan. We can always reach an agreement."

After the three of them discussed for a while.

Shen Ziyu returned to his residence. After a while, Guan Na, dressed as a woman, came to visit Shen Ziyu.

"Friend Shen, you should have figured out how to complete the task, right?"

“As long as we master one hundred thousand key locations, we can control the divine realm to a certain extent.

Obviously, Yi Dong also knew this situation, so he gave us 50,000 places.

However, the Yi family's choice of a mortal was a failure.

Mortals are short-sighted and can be easily fooled. We will all personally teach the mortals sent by the Yi family.

I want to see whether those mortals are loyal to us teachers or to the family that has never treated them well."

“I’m afraid that’s not possible. I heard that the treatment of ordinary people in the Yi family is also quite good.

Most of the mortal families in the Yi family are landlords who own large tracts of land. They either hire other mortals to cultivate the fields or use some electric equipment to cultivate the fields.

"In the Yi family, the immortal cultivators are treated harshly, while the mortals are treated well."

"I have a reason for saying that ordinary people are short-sighted. They don't care about how much land their family has given them.

They would only think about why other members of the tribe could cultivate immortality and live forever, while they could only turn into a handful of dust after a hundred years.

The gap between immortals and mortals has existed since ancient times. Even the Immortal Kingdom cannot deal with it, and it is even more impossible for the Yi family to eliminate this deep-rooted concept.

Those mortals can generally only see the immediate benefits. We control the ladder for the gods to be promoted. As long as the gods of the Yi family have a little ambition, they will not be willing to die of old age in Pingyuan County.

If you want to obtain a divine position outside of Pingyuan County, you can only rely on us."

Guan Na looked at Shen Ziyu. She and others did control the ladder for the promotion of the gods in Pingyuan County, but Yi Dong controlled the foundation of those gods, which was the Book of the Earth.

Relying on the Book of the Earth, Yi Dong can easily dethrone the gods of Pingyuan County.

A soul without the innate divine powers granted by the Book of Earth cannot be considered a god at all.

Probably he could see what Guan Na was thinking.

"You're wrong. We're not here to be enemies with the Yi family. We just need some of the Yi family's spirits to help us, not to let them betray the Yi family."

Shenmu Lin.

Dongfanghong looked at Yi Fu in front of him.

"Is there really no way out of this matter?"

Yi Fu shook his head and said:
“I’ve already approached Shounan, but he’s already refused, saying that someone who isn’t in the family tree can’t become a family deity.

He said that in the future, when worshipping ancestors during the New Year, there will be gods participating, and it is inappropriate for gods who are not from the Yi family to appear in the ancestral worship ceremony."

"He really doesn't give me any face at all?"

Dongfanghong was a little angry.

In the past, when Yi Fu was managing the Yi family's affairs, he was able to carry out Dongfang Hong's words exactly.

However, now it was Yi Shounan's turn, and Dongfanghong found that he could no longer control the opponent.

Simply put, in Yi Shounan's eyes, there are only Yi Dong's rules, and he doesn't take Dongfanghong seriously at all.

Dongfanghong knew that Yi Shounan was not really impartial.

Otherwise, some mortals, led by the head of the family, Yi Shouxian, would not have been able to obtain the position of prepared gods so easily.

"Could it be that this person wants to attract Yi Dong's attention by targeting me?"

After Dongfanghong calmed down, he suddenly understood Yi Shounan's thoughts.

Dongfanghong knew that many of her things, such as taking in Yi Mo's offspring, made Yi Dong unhappy.

There is another thing, which is about the Dongfang family where Dongfanghong came from.

Originally, this time the noble families were deciding on the quality, because the Dongfang family had once flattered the Zhu family, and the family's spiritual veins were only divided openly, but were secretly controlled by the various branches of the Dongfang family, which seriously violated Yidong's rules.

The Dongfang family needed to be pushed into the quagmire by the Yi family, but Dongfanghong had already found Yi Fu.

Therefore, the Dongfang family had nothing to do with the first family meeting.

Dongfanghong's eyes turned slightly cold. She felt that Yi Shounan might want to take action against the Dongfang family.

To completely exterminate the Dongfang family, unless Yi Dong does it himself, otherwise, Yi Shounan or other members of the clan would not dare to do it even with Yi Dong's orders.

After all, Yi Jun and his companions are of the Dongfang family's bloodline.

"Easy to defend, difficult to defend. Let's see what you have."

Thinking about it, Dongfanghong asked Yi Fu to do something.
