I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 97 If it's not on the table, it's on the menu

In the world of immortal cultivation in Taiyang County, the most powerful force recognized by everyone is naturally the Pei family of Yueya Lake.

The Taoyuan Zhong family is in danger and seems to be on the verge of collapse, but in fact its current comprehensive strength can at least rank among the top three.

The main reason why everyone is pessimistic about the Taoyuan Zhong family is that the pillar of the Taoyuan Zhong family is about to pass away, there is no successor, and the family itself is in decline.

Besides, they had an irreconcilable feud with the Pei family of Yueya Lake. The gap between them was completely widened, which led to the danger of the family being wiped out!
but.

In Taiyang County’s immortal cultivation world, there are actually far more than just these two forces that can rank among the top.

The Shenbing Mo family, the Yaolu Zhang family, and the Qianqiutan Zu family all have resounding names.

Even just by looking at the names they use, you can determine their most competitive industries.

The Mo family is good at forging weapons and magical instruments;
The Zhang family is good at making medicine and alchemy;
Although the Zu family's home is relatively remote, the secret of their family's prosperity is actually contained therein.

The ancestral home occupied a spiritual spring named "Qianqiutan", which is not the kind of material "spiritual eye" but the spiritual spring that people often talk about.

The water from this spring is of excellent quality, sweet and delicious, and contains abundant spiritual energy, which is beneficial to spiritual practice.

The tea trees, fruits, vegetables, etc. irrigated by this spring will become more flavorful, and therefore they are listed as "tribute" by Baiyun Temple.

A few years ago, a Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple liked the unique taste of this spring.

The founder of Qianqiutan was very discerning. Every few days he would "air-transport" some of the spring water from a long distance to Baiyun Mountain, making this spring even more famous.

With the endorsement of this immortal master, Qianqiutan's status has risen further.

Following the example of their superiors, many monks in Baiyun Temple also used this spring to make tea.

In addition, the Zu family was willing to spend money, and the Qianqiu Pond was mentioned in many popular poems.

As a result, many cultivators come here every year, which continues to drive the prosperity of all industries in the entire Zu family territory.

The water produced by Qianqiutan is not only sold well all over the world, but also becomes the water for making tea sought after by many noble men.

What stands out is elegance, fashion and class, which made Ci Tan's wealth soar.

The Zu family has relied on this spring over the years and has lived a very comfortable life.

The wealth snowballed and the family prospered.

Regarding the struggle between the Pei family of Yueya Lake and the Zhong family of Taoyuan in recent years, the basic attitude of these three families is to watch the fire from the other side of the river, not to get burned, and not to refuse any benefits.

Take the Divine Weapon Mo family for example. The more the Pei and Zhong families fight, the better their weapons will sell, and naturally they will make a lot of money.

The Zhang family in Yaolu is similar.

As long as there is war, there will inevitably be casualties. It is natural that elixirs will sell well and their prices will rise.

The Qianqiutan clan is particularly fond of this and has shown its fangs frequently in recent years.

Especially when the Taoyuan Zhong family was forced to switch to full defense and had to sell some industries, the Qianqiutan Zu family made frequent moves and kept the prices very low.

In the past two years, the Zu family has even extended their reach to Taoyuanfang City.

You have to know that Taoyuanfang City is one of the most core industries of the Zhong family. It is conceivable how much of the original Zhong family's territory the Zu family has taken advantage of the opportunity to encroach on in recent years.

No one knew when the news started to spread like wildfire and began to circulate wildly in Taiyang County.

The words such as "Wulin Mingjing Tower", "Baiyun Temple Centennial Project", "Spiritual Vein Site Selection", "Cloud Winged Thunder Beast", "Hongfa Zhenren", "Five Thunder Boy" etc. are constantly impacting the hearts of the leaders of several major neutral families.

The magical weapon of the Mo family.

The head of the family, Mo Wendao, listened to the report from the family elders while twirling his beard and analyzing the authenticity of the information.

Mo Wendao pondered and said, "This news involves Baiyun Temple, and it is very reliable. It is unlikely to be made up. At least 70% of it is true."

Several elders around also nodded in agreement.

Once anything involves Baiyun Temple, it is no longer a trivial matter.

Unless they are desperate criminals or extremely powerful monsters, who would dare to spread rumors about them easily?

Moreover, the more clever the lie, the more likely it is that there is no lie at all. Each sentence sound true when heard separately, but when put together, they become a huge lie.

Therefore, the news that Baiyun Temple is going to build the Wuling Mingjing Pagoda and that it is a century-long project are all true.

So the question is, what is the purpose of the person behind the scenes spreading so much important news to the world at this time?
Soon, the Mo family of Shenbing received a bombshell news.

The Cloud Winged Thunder Beast appeared in the Taiyan Pool, and the Taoyuan Zhong family was trying their best to "bribe" the Cloud Winged Thunder Beast.
After confirming the news, the divine soldier Mo Jia was shocked again and again.

Could it be that the Taoyuan Zhong family already knew this inside information?

The purpose of bribing the Cloud Winged Thunder Beast was to win the favor of the Five Thunder Boy and make him not choose the location of the Five Spirits Bright Scenery Tower in Taoyuan Valley? !
As soon as this inference came out, everyone in the Divine Weapon Mo family suddenly became restless.

In the past, no matter how the Taoyuan Zhong family and the Yueya Lake Pei family fought, they could just watch the fire from the other side without any scruples, because everything was under control.

Naturally, the Taoyuan Zhong family, which was suppressed by the Yueya Lake Pei family, could not do anything to them.

As for the Pei family of Yueya Lake, it was naturally impossible for them to make another powerful enemy before they swallowed up the Zhong family of Taoyuan.

But the Cloud-winged Thunder Beast and the Five Thunder Boy are different!

The Cloud-winged Thunder Beast is a mount, a beast, isn’t it the mother who gives you milk?
If we really let Taoyuan Zhong family fool us with delicious food, and then just give them a few words of encouragement in front of Wu Lei Tongzi, they will definitely go ashore directly!
How is this possible?

There are actually only a few places in Taiyang County where spiritual veins are concentrated and meet the requirements for building the Wuling Mingjing Pagoda.

Basically, it is the residence of each major family!

The Taoyuan Zhong family refuses to give up their territory, so can we ask them to give up their territory?
Besides, the Five Thunder Boy is famous for his small mind! You have to know that at this time, the Cloud Winged Thunder Beast and the Five Thunder Boy not only represent them, but also represent the will of Baiyun Temple.

What is the will of Baiyun Temple?
With just a few words, a family power like theirs could be wiped out;

As long as you express your love for tea brewed with Qianqiutan water, the Qianqiutan Ancestor Clan will dispatch the most promising immortal seedling in the family to serve as the water delivery boy every day, just to show your face in front of the immortal.

They had no doubt that as long as a certain Baiyun Temple immortal had a dream, someone would do their best to help them realize it the next day.
The head follows the butt, and there is almost no need to waste words. The top leaders of the Shenbing Mo family have established two sets of action guidelines.

① Try your best to show goodwill to the Cloud-winged Thunder Beast and the Five Thunder Boy.

They may not remember which family in Taiyang County treated them the best and what generous gifts they gave them, but they will definitely remember which family did not give them gifts.

② Try to speed up the site selection for Wuling Mingjing Tower as much as possible.

Facing the will of the giant Baiyun Temple, the Shenbing Mo family, the Yaolu Zhang family, and the Qianqiutan ancestral family were all very tacit.

In just a short time, communication and connection were completed.

The three parties quickly reached an agreement and jointly decided to build the Wuling Mingjing Tower in Taoyuan Valley.

In order to achieve this goal as quickly as possible, the three families even sent representatives to go to the Pei family in Yueya Lake to exchange ideas.

These days, if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.

In the absence of any Taoyuan Zhong family members present, Taoyuan Valley's fate was fortunately decided by everyone.

Some people in the Qianqiutan ancestral family have even begun to put forward new suggestions:

In order to build a large-scale building like the Wuling Mingjing Tower, which will benefit the present and future generations, the major families in Taiyang County naturally need to actively cooperate with the work of Baiyun Temple.

The Qianqiutan ancestral family is willing to contribute money and effort, and we can discuss the proportion of money and effort each family will contribute.

For example, the Taoyuan Zhong family is currently recognized as the second largest family in Taiyang County, so they naturally have to take on more responsibilities.
The efficiency of the family representatives from all over the country was unusually high. They reached a comprehensive consensus the next day and notified the Taoyuan Zhong family in time.

In order to prevent the Taoyuan Zhong family from not cooperating, they also specially prepared toasts and penalty drinks together.

Not long after Zhong Lixiao returned to Yuliang Manor from Crab Claw Island, an urgent summons came from Taoyuan Valley.

Mother Li Yi, third uncle Que Hongyi, and even Zhong Lixiao were no exception and had to rush back to Taoyuan Valley within one day.

Zhong Lixiao was also quite helpless about this.

The first-grade spiritual rice in Yuliangzhuang was about to be harvested, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy until it was in his bag.

When I was taking history classes in the past, I often heard that feudal dynasties bound the people to the land. I didn’t feel too deeply about it at the time, but at this moment, the knowledge points in the textbooks shone into reality.

Let him deeply realize how he was firmly bound by the land and that I was the ruled class!
but.

The higher-ups in Taoyuan Valley also knew this secret, which further illustrates the seriousness of the situation.

Zhong Lixiao found his apprentice Xue Jingliang and playmate Zhong Sheng, and entrusted them with all the follow-up work of Yuliang Manor.

At the end, Zhong Lixiao took out two more materials and gave them to the two respectively.

It included about four hundred spirit stones, Qi Gathering Pills and Yellow Bud Pills copied from the six friends on Crab Claw Island, and some other miscellaneous pills.

Even the Blood Soul Pill, which he regarded as a "safety net", Zhong Lixiao chose to leave it to his disciple Xue Jingliang.

Although the side effects of this pill are serious, it is ultimately a hope and a support.

If there is really no better choice, you can just swallow this pill to grab a glimmer of hope.

In addition, Zhong Lixiao also kept a copy of "Experiences in Refining Mechanical Puppets" written by the old carpenter, "Classic of Materia Medica" obtained from Wei Dutou, and various knowledge about the beauty pill Yingxiang Pills seized from Madam Luzhu.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao told him about the secret cave deep in Daliang Mountain.

When there is no way out, they can ask the mountain goddess to send them in.

In this cave, Zhong Lixiao stored most of the medicinal herbs and treasures he had brought back from Crab Claw Island, as well as a large number of five-element spiritual materials stockpiled by Madam Dew.

Preparation is the key to success. Even though Zhong Lixiao currently possesses many magical powers, his realm is too low after all. No one knows what dangers and accidents he will encounter.

One should not put all his eggs in one basket. This move can be regarded as a diversion and risk control of his current wealth and knowledge accumulation.

of course.

If you really have to run away, various reserves are essential.

Zhong Lixiao also left an empty storage bag for the two of them to store enough food, medicine, drinking water and other supplies necessary for survival.

It would be best to take advantage of this short period of time to purchase as many supplies as possible and store them.

For this purpose, Zhong Lixiao kept most of the gold and silver he had on him as shopping money for them.

This time, Zhong Lixiao didn't even need to emphasize anything, as both Xue Jingliang and Zhong Sheng could feel the seriousness of the situation.

They realized that the decisive battle between the Taoyuan Zhong family and the Yueya Lake Pei family was about to begin.

What the two never expected was that deep in the Daliang Mountain, the young master (master) had secretly opened up a cave.

This foresight and foresight also made those closest to them astonished and shocked.

of course.

This sense of security makes them feel more at ease than ever before!
Zhong Lixiao may not even know that his approach of preparing for a rainy day and having three burrows has profoundly influenced the people around him.

So much so that it gradually became the common cultural heritage of their lineage!
