Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 55: Xia County's No. Family
Xia County.

After the rebellion of the immortal cultivators in Kunxu, the spiritual land outside the county town was basically abandoned.

At the foot of a slightly dilapidated mountain.

Mu Tianci looked at the ruined family land with red eyes.

The tribesmen following Mu Tianci also looked sad.

Among the seven great families in Xia County, the Mu family and the Zhao family suffered the heaviest losses.

Not only were all the spiritual lands destroyed, but even the tribesmen outside were almost all killed.

The Mu family has been developing in Xia County for hundreds of years. Not to mention the large number of mortals, even the number of independent cultivator families that have been separated out is in the hundreds of thousands.

It is conceivable that a huge number of people died in the Mu family this time.

Mu Tianci knew all of this very well, and it was closely related to the Yi family of Zijin Mountain.

The seven great families originally wanted to regulate Zijin Mountain through official means, but now Zijin Mountain's revenge has come.

More than a year passed.

The seven great families spent a huge price to make Zijin Mountain pay the price, but unfortunately the results were minimal.

Most of the huge amount of spirit stones paid were wasted.

Those who take money but don't do their job are referring to the several immortal officials in Xia County now.

The original chief official of Xia County had left long ago. The county was peaceful before and no immortal officials had ever come.

Unexpectedly, the immortal official has arrived, but he is actually three hungry wolves.

Fortunately, although the three hungry wolves looked ugly when eating, they still had a sense of shame.

After paying a large amount of spirit stones and spiritual materials, the Mu family finally managed to obtain a spiritual source.

As long as the family spiritual vein exists, the Mu family will not be considered scattered.

“They are all from the Yi family of Purple Mountain.

If they hadn't colluded with the invaders, our Mu family wouldn't be like this."

"That's right, this revenge must be avenged."

Every member of the Mu family gnashed their teeth when talking about the Yi family of Zijin Mountain.

Mu Tianci also had a gloomy expression.

But he knew that his Mu family had no way to deal with the Yi family.

Now the Yi family of Zijin Mountain is truly the number one family in Xia County.

They obtained many sales channels for elixirs and magical instruments, and many industries within the county also fell into the hands of the Yi family.

Obviously, the Yi family was in collusion with the three immortal officials in the county.

Many people died in Xia County.

But these people are basically ordinary people in towns or villages.

As for the immortal cultivators, except for those from the seven major families, basically not many immortal cultivators died.

Another part of the dead immortal cultivators were employees of official enterprises of the immortal kingdom and had nothing to do with individual cultivators.

Because independent cultivators all rely on cities for their cultivation.

Unless the city is destroyed, independent cultivators generally will not die in large numbers.

After the immortal cultivators from Kunxu Realm retreated.

Xia County soon returned to stability.

However, because the enterprises in the Immortal Kingdom have basically not recovered yet, many independent cultivators in the city rely on working for the Immortal Kingdom enterprises to earn meager fragments of spirit to maintain their cultivation.

At this time, many independent cultivators in the city had lost their source of spirit stones.

Therefore, many independent cultivators who had no intention of going to the Xuankong Realm were forced to embark on this path.

A large number of individual cultivators are selling their properties.

under these circumstances.

Apart from a few foreign families, the Yi family of Zijin Mountain took over the most properties.

The amount of spirit stones earned by Zijin Mountain this time was so huge that even Yi Dong couldn't believe it.

The top of Purple Mountain.

Yi Dong put down the jade slip in his hand.

The jade slips record the spiritual stones and various spiritual materials currently in stock at Zijin Mountain.

It can be said that the spiritual materials looted from Xia County, which were of low value and inconvenient to transport, were basically sold to Zijin Mountain by the independent cultivators of Kunxu Realm.

There are thousands of spiritual material warehouses in Zijin Mountain.

Adding it all up, Yi Dong felt that he had earned at least 10 billion spirit stones this time.

Obviously, these things must not only be from Xia County. It is possible that the low-level spiritual materials from several nearby counties are also basically concentrated in Zijin Mountain.

Yidong will not sell raw materials.

Instead, they refine them into pills, magic tools, flying boats and other things for sale.

This way, the benefits are greater.

As expected, you can’t get rich by farming until the end of time.

Survival of the fittest is indeed the truth of the world.

With the spirit stone, Yi Dong naturally wouldn't let it get moldy in his hands.

He began to purchase a large amount of various high-end materials, preparing to set up a large laboratory.

He needs to wait for the five children to enter the upper-level Taoist temple to bring him the latest version of space chakra knowledge.

It can be imagined that the space chakra knowledge that one's children are exposed to would probably not be the most advanced one in the fairyland.

You can do some research on your own first, and when you gain new knowledge about space chakras, you may be able to innovate on your own.

Nine hundred and thirteen years of Qiantian.

After three years of tug-of-war, Yi Dong finally reached an agreement with Quan Sanbao.

this day.

A warship arrived at Purple Mountain.

The battleship was suspended in the air.

Quan Sanbao led a dozen foundation-building cultivators to the Purple Gold Mountain.

In the reception hall on the mountainside.

After taking a sip of tea, Quan Sanbao signaled the cultivator beside him to open one of the fine iron boxes among the ten boxes he brought.

I saw an irregular crystal object in the box.

The crystal is glittering and brilliant.

As the box opened, a spiritual energy so thick that it turned into mist dissipated.

Before the hall became filled with smoke, the cultivator closed the box again.

Yi Dong has never seen Lingyuan.

However, among the various books he collected, there were various descriptions of spiritual sources.

This thing is most likely the spiritual source.

Yi Dong gestured to Yi De.

Yi De walked out and then brought in a total of twenty boxes with his men.

Yi De opened one of the boxes and saw that it was filled with prismatic stones.

These stones look no different from ordinary stones on the surface.

Quan Sanbao's eyes lit up. He walked over, picked up one, looked at it briefly, and put it down.

"Yes, it is a top-grade spiritual stone."

With a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he knew that the twenty boxes were indeed filled with top-grade spirit stones, with the number being exactly two thousand.

In times of chaos, each top-grade spirit stone could theoretically be exchanged for 10,000 spirit stones.

But it was during the Immortal Kingdom period.

All Lingshi mines were nationalized.

High-quality and medium-quality spirit stones are controlled by the Immortal Kingdom and are basically not circulated outside.

The value of high-quality spirit stones may be greater than during the chaotic period.

However, two thousand high-quality spirit stones could not possibly buy enough spiritual energy to restore ten first-level spirit veins.

When Quan Sanbao saw Yi Dong take out the most crucial top-grade spirit stone, he signaled a cultivator to follow Yi De to check other resources.

He took out a stack of documents.
“These are the places for Qingzhu Taoist Academy, three in total.

One of them was obtained from the Mu family in Xia County, and the other two, I spent a lot of effort to obtain from the county town."

A cultivator from the Yi family handed the quota document to Yi Dong.

After reading it, Yi Dong nodded.

“The deal is done.”

Yi De did buy five places in Taoist temples, but three of them were not from Qingzhu Taoist Temple.

Qingzhu Taoist Temple is not very good, but it is a local intermediate Taoist temple after all.

If anything happens, Yi Dong can handle it nearby.

After all, if one wants to be admitted to a higher-level Taoist academy, even if the enrollment scale of higher-level Taoist academies is increasing, it is difficult to guarantee that no aristocratic family will make things difficult for one's five children.

Quan Sanbao glanced at Yi Dong, and thinking of the rumors about Yi Dong's five children with natural spiritual roots, a smile appeared on his face, and he said:
"Friend Yi, your Yi family is now considered the number one family in Xia County.

As for your Yi family's idea of examining immortal officials and mortal officials to build Xia County together, several of my colleagues in charge of Xia County and I are very much in favor of it.

If your Yi family has any difficulties, you can contact me."

Yi Dong looked at Quan Sanbao and smiled.
"Thank you very much."

The two chatted casually about the situation in Xia County.

Don’t be fooled by Quan Sanbao’s harmless appearance.

But Yi Dong didn't like him.

As one of the three immortal officials who parachuted into Xia County, he and the other two were called the Three Blood Wolves by some people in Xia County.

When these three people came to Xia County, they were not thinking about how to quell the unrest caused by the invaders.

Instead, he took advantage of the turmoil to come to Xia County and make a fortune.

The seven great families that had lost their spiritual veins and had no way out were said to have been drained of their bones and marrow by these three, and their family assets of hundreds of years were basically taken away by these three.

The other five are okay.

The Mu and Zhao families lost a large number of their members and controlled a large number of industries in Xia County.

These two families were put in a very embarrassing situation by these three people.

The Mu family was okay; it was said they had some connections in the county town, so after asking for help, they received a certain response.

But the Zhao family was in trouble.

All the matters concerning the Yi family of Zijin Mountain colluding with the invaders and providing logistical support for the invaders were transferred to the Zhao family without being mentioned.

Quan Sanbao and the other two also detained all the remaining cultivators of the Zhao family and confiscated all their properties.

It can be said that the Zhao family, one of the seven great families, is almost on the verge of extinction now.

Quan Sanbao and his two companions obviously had no intention of establishing a family in the remote and poor area of Xia County.

Therefore, most of their real estate in the county was sold to Zijinshan.

Others, such as some wealthy independent cultivator families in the county, also want to buy it.

This is mainly because these three people have no bottom line.

After eating the sellers, they eat the buyers. These three people are the ones who are talking about.

If you show off your wealth without any strength, you will most likely be taken advantage of by these three people.

In Xia County, apart from a few foreign families, the only one who had a large amount of spirit stones and the confidence to trade with these three people was Yidong's Zijin Mountain.

Yi Dong has a large number of spirit stones in his hands.

The amount was too large for him to squander in a short time, so he went to Xia County to buy a large amount of property.

Not to mention shops, even ordinary houses can be rented out to individual practitioners.

Say.

There are more than 100,000 members of the Yi family on Zijin Mountain, including mortals and cultivators.

If you have children without restraint, the number of children may increase several times or even dozens of times in a dozen years.

Yi Dong naturally would not let the Yi family do anything anti-human such as family planning.

The number of immortal cultivators that Xia County can accommodate is limited.

It was just what he wanted to let the Yi family members squeeze out all the living space of other cultivators.

Therefore, the more industries a county has, the better.

Not only industries within the county.

Yidong also acquired a large amount of land outside the county town.

Nowadays, the immortal cultivation families are just like the powerful people in ancient times in Yidong’s previous life.

Basically no tax is required.

In this case, as long as the cost is not too high, he does not mind purchasing a large amount of land, especially the land around Zijin Mountain.

The expansion of the family depends on more ordinary people.

Only when the Yi family of Zijin Mountain becomes stronger and stronger, the value of Yi Dong’s position as the ancestor will become higher and higher in the future.

The warship stopped at the foot of Purple Mountain, and truckloads of resources were moved into it.

Soon, the warship left Purple Mountain.

A corner of the newly built square on the top of Purple Mountain.

Three boys and two girls are chatting with a beautiful woman.

It was Dongfanghong and her five children.

"In the blink of an eye, you are all thirteen years old. In three years, you will go to the Taoist temple to study.

Time flies by so fast.”

Dongfanghong touched Yi Qing's head and sighed.

Yi Mo on the side suddenly said:

"Mom, are you missing home?

Come to think of it, we haven’t been to the Dongfang family yet.”
