Start with a red name

In the end, with Geng Xuan's deliberate leniency, 428 out of the 382 women from the Inner Courtyard successfully passed by Geng Xuan.

Another 46 people all fell into the hands of Zheng Qingyan and others.

After "screening out" the two groups of people from the Pigeon Training House and the Inner Courtyard, there were still 3822 prisoners waiting to be processed.

Although they were filled with fear and resistance, these people, under the organization of Zheng Qingyan, Yan Wenxuan and others, passed by Geng Xuan one after another.

Except for the first ones who passed by, there were only five surrenderers from Caizheyuan, headed by Yue Sheng. Because of their special professional abilities, Geng Xuan relaxed the standards and they did not fall into the hands of the temporary gang members nearby because of their overly strong red names.

The rest of the surrendered people, such as servants, people from Wuyou Palace, and their families, all enjoyed uniform and strict standards.

All those whose red name concentration exceeded 20 points were pushed out of the team by an invisible force when passing in front of Geng Xuan, and fell into the hands of Zheng Qingyan and others.

However, Geng Xuan has not yet given the order to deal with these people.

But this horrifying scene was no different from being sentenced to death in everyone's mind.

This made everyone who passed by Geng Xuan feel fear and despair as if they were going to the guillotine.

Revolt?

Those who had the courage to resist had already been killed during Zheng Qingyan and others' search of the entire city.

Those who were able to be gathered here alive to be "judged" had already had their backbones taken away and no longer had the will to resist.

So, despite fear and despair, no one dared to stop or say no under the "pressure" of those eyes.

Those who successfully passed by Geng Xuan all had joy on their faces, with happy smiles of being reborn.

This also gives hope and motivation to those who come later.

Those who were pushed away from the team by the invisible force and fell into the control of Zheng Qingyan and others also did not resist at all.

But from their emotional reactions, it can be seen that although they are still alive and well, their hearts have already died.

Geng Xuan also couldn't help but sigh that the water and soil of Wuyou Palace were indeed "good for nourishing people".

Even though he had raised the red name standard to 3817 points, after Yue Sheng and the other four, there were people who "passed the screening".

In the end, only 2254 people successfully passed, with a pass rate of less than %.

A total of 1563 people fell into the hands of Zheng Qingyan and others.

The average cultivation level of these people is not high, and many of them are only at the level of skin refining and flesh refining.

There are even quite a few ordinary people who have no cultivation.

But this does not prevent them from having a strong red reputation above their heads. If you pick any one out for refining, the red luck will not be less than twenty points.

——Wu Youren, who was notorious in Anleji, only provided Geng Xuan with 20 points of good luck after his death.

Wu Youren, who is so notorious and has committed so many evil things, can only serve as a basic unit in the Wuyou Palace Citadel.

Together with the 46 people screened out from the Inner Court, there were a total of 1609 prisoners, and it goes without saying what happened to them.

In order to avoid making the scene look too ugly and unsightly, Geng Xuan also signaled Zheng Qingyan, Yan Wenxuan and others to take these people away when they took action.

The captives knew what would happen if they followed him, but they were like a group of silent and docile lambs.

They displayed rules and obedience that were totally inconsistent with the red names on their heads.

Geng Xuan suspected that if they were each given a shovel and asked to dig a hole, and then line up to jump in after the hole was dug, and then have another group of people fill the hole with soil, the cycle would continue smoothly.

Geng Xuan, thinking of this scene in his mind, had to admit this fact.

“I’m such a butcher.”

Under the strict escort of Zheng Qingyan, Yan Wenxuan, and a group of "insiders", 1609 prisoners disappeared around the corner of the training ground.

Soon, groups of red names, like a special school of fish, quickly flew across the void and fell into the "flint bead" between Geng Xuan's eyebrows.

There was deathly silence in the training ground.

Occasionally, sporadic screams could be heard from a distance.

This did not make the training ground lively, but instead highlighted the deathly silence here.

It didn't take long before the red names of the 1609th Regiment were submerged in the "Flint Bead".

After being quickly refined, 41834 points of good luck and a pitiful 30 points of bad luck were added to the "Flint Bead".

Following Zheng Qingyan and others who had left not long ago, they returned with a strong aura of evil and blood.

Geng Xuan's eyes swept over the nearly 3,000 silent captives, and he said to Tang Caizhu and Xue Zhiheng beside him, "Continue."

After directly dealing with 1609 prisoners, there were still 2919 prisoners remaining in the training ground.

Including Qu Qingfeng, there are 278 people who came from the pigeon training school.

382 people who came from the Neiweiyuan.

There are five people who came from Caizheyuan, represented by Yue Sheng.

As well as 2254 people who successfully "passed the screen" from other groups, including servants, family members, and official Wuyou Palace staff.

As for what to do next, Geng Xuan had already explained it to Xue Zhiheng and others.

These 2919 people, like the surrenderers previously recruited along the way in the Wuyou Palace Citadel, will all swear allegiance to Geng Xuan personally.

Not as a temporary gang member, nor as an official member of the Giant Bear Gang, but as Geng Xuan's personal servant.

In this way, they can contribute more luck to themselves, but their status will not be higher than that of temporary gang members such as Tang Caizhu and Xue Zhiheng.

These 2919 people fell to the ground like ears of wheat in the field, paying their respects and pledging allegiance to Geng Xuan as servants.

Brought 20 points of additional white luck to Geng Xuan.

Before that, after entering the Acropolis, Zheng Qingyan and others used the same method to absorb 1243 surrenderers along the way, bringing him a total of 42 points of white luck.

This is certainly due to the continuous decline in per capita luck, but the more important reason is that the individual strength of these nearly 3,000 new servants is too low.

Among them, the number of ordinary people without cultivation exceeded one thousand, specifically 1091 people.

In addition, there are 857 people in the Skin Refining Realm and 652 people in the Flesh Refining Realm.

These low-level groups account for nearly 90% of the new servants.

……

After accepting these people's loyalty, Geng Xuan left the training ground and handed over the subsequent arrangements for these people to Zheng Qingyan, Yan Wenxuan and others.

Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng, and the two elders of the Xu family followed him out of the training ground and went to the study in the courtyard where Dean Caizhe lived.

——In order to read Dean Caizhe's notes conveniently, Geng Xuan, who had some free time, stayed in Dean Caizhe's courtyard.

Whenever Tang Caizhu and others have something to discuss, they will come here to discuss with him.

As soon as several people entered the study, Xue Zhiheng was the first to start talking.

“Right now, we have more than 4,300 available personnel.

But there are more than a thousand ordinary people without any cultivation.

At most, these people are arranged to do some simple, non-dangerous work in the city to maintain the normal operation of the Acropolis."

“If we only count the number of practitioners, there are only more than 3,200 people in total.

Moreover, the overall strength is not high.

I did a rough count and found that the number of practitioners at the skin and flesh refining levels exceeded two thousand.

With such a small number of people, it is obviously not enough to guard the Acropolis and take over a large number of industries in the city.

My opinion is that we need to add more people.”

Having said this, Xue Zhiheng paused and continued:

“Also, I’ve observed another hidden danger.

After entering the city, we recruited many servants who were loyal to you.

Although more than half of them died in the battle, there are still 535 people left.

Among the nearly three thousand new servants recruited this time, excluding those ordinary people without cultivation, the number of cultivators exceeded one thousand eight hundred.

In other words, the number of cultivators who came from the Wuyou Palace Guard City and are now staying in the city as servants exceeds two thousand three hundred.

And the number of people from our three families, including the injured in the hospital, is only 854.

Although, most of those who have combat power above the marrow refining level are our people.

In terms of combat power at the bone refining level, we also have an absolute advantage.

But their number is just too much.

Next, we will have to send people to Yuanjing City to take over a large number of industries and clean up the remaining forces of Wuyou Palace lurking in Yuanjing City."

At this point, Xue Zhiheng showed a worried look on his face, looked at Geng Xuan, and said:

"Even if you, the gang leader, can see through people's hearts, these people really have no other thoughts except to survive.

But people's hearts are fickle, and once you leave, you never know what they will be thinking.

Among these more than 2,300 people, how many have any connection with the remnant forces of Wuyou Palace in the city?

Will they be bewitched again and secretly do things that are disadvantageous to us?

These are all things to be considered in advance.

The simplest way is to add more manpower.

By increasing manpower, the number of these servant practitioners can be reduced to a safer proportion.

The increase in our strength can also effectively prevent those with weak minds from wavering."

Geng Xuan listened to Xue Zhiheng's story, nodded slightly, and said:
"What you said makes sense, but how do you plan to increase your manpower?"

Xue Zhiheng said:

“We have already had a brief discussion and have some ideas.

Boss, please give us some advice and see if it is appropriate."

"Tell me about it." Geng Xuan said.

“Due to the rules, the number of official members of the Blood Fang Group is limited.

But I have also maintained a steady relationship with some smaller mercenary groups.

Their situation is also relatively clear.

It is also a force worthy of trust when necessary.

...I believe that under our current conditions, as long as we give them a little benefit, they will immediately come to invest.

Instead, we should avoid too many people coming to invest, which would cause the situation to become too big to be managed.

My opinion is that we can just select the best from among them, pick four or five hundred people, and recruit them as our own people."

After Xue Zhiheng finished speaking, Tang Caizhu immediately said:
"In addition to these people, the boxing gym has also recruited and trained many disciples over the years.

In addition to the operations over the years, we have also established some relationships in Yuanjing City, the four outer cities, and other places.

It may not be reliable to ask them to join me in attacking the Wuyou Palace Citadel in its heyday, but if I recruit them now, there should still be quite a few people who will join me.

...I estimate that it should be no problem to absorb three or four hundred people."

Among the two elders of the Xu family, the one who was over sixty years old, named Xu Ziming, said:

“We at the Xu family should be able to recruit around 500 people.

Previously, considering some extreme situations, we dispersed and hid some outstanding young men in the clan.

Some other arrangements were also made within the Xujiawei City.

Plus some power that is cultivated in secret.

It shouldn't be a problem to select 500 useful practitioners."

Wow, if the three companies come together, we can add about 1,400 to 1,500 people.

Listening to the three people's stories, Geng Xuan even had a feeling that this was far from the limit of Xue Zhiheng, Tang Caizhu and the Xu family.

This number is obviously the result of a trade-off between the three parties.

It is necessary to ensure that after this expansion, the proportion of these "servant practitioners" who come from the Wuyou Palace Acropolis is diluted as much as possible.

We must also ensure that these new personnel do not become too many or too strong, which could pose a new risk.

Xue Zhiheng added:
"What we are talking about are the numbers of official members, not including family members.

Including the people we have now, many of them have families, relatives, parents, wives and children.

Many of these people have already practiced cultivation, so it is difficult to assign them too heavy tasks, but it is enough to arrange for them to take charge of certain aspects of the Acropolis' affairs.

If all family members were counted, the population of the Acropolis should be able to recover to around 7,000 to 8,000 people.

...With this foundation, we can barely maintain the operation of this Acropolis, take over the city's industries, and eliminate the remaining forces of the Worry-Free Palace in the city without being stretched too thin. "

Under the expectant gazes of the four people, Geng Xuan nodded and said:
"No problem, just do it according to your ideas."

When the four heard this, they all showed excitement on their faces.

"…But I only have one condition." Geng Xuan said.

"Master, you say."

"Everyone who accepts your recruitment and arrangement, whether they are cultivators or ordinary people, must first become temporary gang members." Geng Xuan said.

The four of them did not raise any objections to this condition and agreed one after another.

In their view, this is not even a condition.

If one wants to have a sip of soup or even a bite of meat from the legacy of Wuyou Palace, the prerequisite, of course, is that one must be "one of us".

This is simply a matter of course.

At this moment, Tang Caizhu said with some regret:

"It would be better if you could leave a little later. We have recruited so many new people this time, and many of them have families.

...I don't know how many people there are who have ulterior motives and disloyal intentions.

If you can do some screening in advance, you will feel more at ease when using it.

Now, I don’t dare to trust him completely.”

After hearing Tang Caizhu's words, Geng Xuan didn't say anything, but Xue Zhiheng and the two elders of the Xu family's expressions changed slightly.

However, they all recalled the unpleasant experiences when they first met "Su Ruiliang", which made them feel painful and fearful.

However, he thought again, they all suffered so much, why could others be spared?
What's more, although "Su Ruiliang's" approach was too rough, it did uncover many hidden dangers.

Now, if these new members have not gone through such an experience, they will subconsciously feel psychologically unbalanced and it will be difficult for them to fully trust each other.

The oldest Xu Qiwen's eyes moved, and he suddenly said: "Boss, I have another suggestion."

"Oh, you say."

“To protect the Acropolis, we will mainly rely on the people we have now.

Everything in Yuanjing City, except for those of us who are above the marrow refining level who are in charge of the overall situation, the rest of the manpower will be mainly new recruits in the future and these "servant practitioners" from the Acropolis. "Xu Qiwen said.

Before Geng Xuan could say anything, Xue Zhiheng said with a suspicious look on his face:
"We were just worried that they were untrustworthy and might be involved with the remnants of the Wuyou Palace in the city. Why did we take the initiative to send them to the city?"

Xu Qiwen said: "Whether it is these people or the new recruits in the future, whether they can be trusted or not, whether they are involved with Wuyou Palace or other forces.

What can we achieve if we just worry here?

To test their quality, it is most convenient and easiest to send them into the city!"

Xue Zhiheng was not a fool. Hearing this, he immediately came to his senses. His eyes lit up and he said, "Throwing a stone to ask for directions?"

Xu Qiwen nodded and said:

“Yes, as long as we make arrangements in advance, we can see what kind of people they are by looking at their performance after entering the city.

Moreover, I think this is easier than trying to recruit people ourselves.

Maybe the remnants of Wuyou Palace will take the initiative to show up and make contact with these people."

Finally, Xu Qiwen looked at Geng Xuan and asked, "Boss, what do you think of this method?"

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Not bad, I think we can give it a try."

When answering this question, he looked a little nonchalant, as if he didn't care much about it.

But in his heart, he had already begun to mourn in advance for these guys whose fate as "stones" had already been predetermined.

Although the incident has not happened yet, Geng Xuan seemed to have seen that another form of "flesh and blood grinding wheel" different from the Qingyuan Collection has appeared.

The constant influx of newcomers will bring him constant good luck, as well as corresponding bad luck.

Then, these people will be thrown into the Yuanjing City like "stones".

What's the difference between this and jumping into a pile of gunpowder with a fire in your hand?
Not only will the remaining Wuyou Palace forces look at them with malice.

There are many forces with complex origins, some of which are even completely unknown, and it is unknown how many of them will use them as a "breakthrough" for various purposes.

Do they need to be reminded?

Of course not.

After these "insiders" were thrown into Yuanjing as "stones", they either killed people or were killed by others.

He will be the one who benefits in the end.

Geng Xuan even felt that using this method to stir up some ripples in Yuanjing City and indirectly test the depth of the water here would be a very beneficial thing.

He thought about it and decided to give Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng, and the two elders of the Xu family more reassurances.

He looked at the four people and said:
“The situation in Yuanjing City may not be too smooth, so you should take care of yourself.

In addition, you don’t have to care too much about the properties of Wuyou Palace.

My opinion is that after taking over, except for leaving one or two as footholds in the city, the rest can be disposed of.

If you spread your business too thin at the beginning, not only will you disperse too much manpower, but you will also give more opportunities to those people with bad intentions in the dark.

...I heard that many people go to Yuanjing just to find a place to settle down.

You could definitely be more flexible in how you deal with those industries.

It doesn’t have to be exchanged for silver or resources, it can also be used to recruit more people to help.”

"..."

After that, the five of them discussed the relevant issues for nearly half an hour, and roughly determined the development of Yuanjing in the future after Geng Xuan left, with this Acropolis as the foundation.

……

After the four people left, before practicing again, Geng Xuan spent a lot of time taking careful inventory of his good fortune from last night to now.

This night was an unprecedented "big harvest".

The good fortune gained from this night alone exceeded the total gains from all the previous good fortunes.

Even though the Qingyuanji battle took a long time and "devoured" more than 10,000 lives on both sides, the total good fortune gained was only a little over 50% of last night's gains, and less than 60%.

Last night’s gains mainly came from two sources.

One took place in Qingyuanji, nearly two thousand miles away.

Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, Geng Xuan already knew that it was a suicidal attack launched by the elite forces of the five halls, namely the left and right envoys of Wuyou Palace, Sifang Hall, Dingxing Hall, and Zhan Hall.

Some situations in the Acropolis also indirectly confirmed this, that the power of these five gangs stationed in the Acropolis was very weak.

So far, the number of Hongyun troops that have defected from Qingyuanji has exceeded 2,400.

To be more precise, it is the 2419th Regiment.

In other words, a total of 2419 people were killed on both sides of the enemy and us in the suicidal attack launched by the elite troops of Wuyou Palace.

Among them, the vast majority of red names were concentrated within two or three hours in the first half of last night.

There were some sporadic good luck later on, and Geng Xuan guessed that it was probably because the seriously injured on his side could not survive the critical period.

Based on the amount of good luck and bad luck provided by each group's red names, Geng Xuan could also roughly determine the number of casualties on both sides.

Of the more than 2,400 casualties, the numbers were almost evenly split between our own and the enemy, with slightly more on the enemy side.

——For the deceased who were born in Wuyou Palace, good luck is generally high, while bad luck is either zero or only a little.

Relatively speaking, although Geng Xuan can't remember too many names of his own casualties, his good luck is generally low, and he usually has one or two points of bad luck.

These 2419 deaths brought Geng Xuan a total of 75006 points of good luck and 1446 points of bad luck.

Then, there were a series of gains around Yuanjing last night.

First, we need to eliminate the hidden dangers within Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng, the Xu family, and the stalkers around the Xu family's villa.

A total of 197 people brought Geng Xuan 5369 points of good luck and 413 points of bad luck.

Then, there were the nails that Geng Xuan cleared along the way before entering the Wuyou Palace City Wall, and the killing spree around the Zi Luo Palace that he and Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng, and the two elders of the Xu family led.

All in all, the number of people who died at their hands was not too high, but the "average quality" was really too high.

Including Zhang Zhengfeng, Lord Wuyou Palace and others.

A total of 162 people brought Geng Xuan 9579 points of good luck and 55 points of bad luck.

Then, Zheng Qingyan, Yan Wenxuan and others started a massacre in the Acropolis, killing a total of 3174 people.

This brought Geng Xuan 11 points of good luck and 1090 points of bad luck.

The price of this killing was that a total of 1201 people on his side were killed, which brought Geng Xuan 3 points of good luck and 7598 points of bad luck.

In addition, there is the harvesting in Caizheyuan.

Including the 530 people who were urgently awakened by Dean Caizhe, except for 3070 minors under the age of , the remaining recipients all had their "Red Luck Fruits" taken away by Geng Xuan.

In total, they brought Geng Xuan 12 points of good luck and 2800 points of bad luck.

In addition, there were 684 points of good luck and 2 points of bad luck contributed by Dean Caizhe alone, as well as the handling of more than prisoners at the training ground not long ago.

Up to now, Geng Xuan had been in Yuanjing for less than a day, but he had already harvested 9414 lives.

As a result, he gained 32 points of good luck and 8954 points of bad luck.

Including Qingyuanji, the total amount of good luck last night was 40 points and bad luck was 3960 points.

Due to last night’s great harvest, the good fortune in the “Flint Bead” has accumulated to a level far beyond its previous level.

……

【Lucky: 58
Black luck: 1】

……

After comprehensively reviewing the benefits of last night's good fortune, Geng Xuan once again devoted himself to cultivation.

Before nightfall, Geng Xuan had expended ten points of luck and eight points of good fortune to advance the "Life Harvesting Technique" and "Dissection Technique" from entry level to minor success.

After that, he spent about another hour to completely digest and absorb the contents of "Hongbo Youshen Fa" and "Lishui Dividing Guangci" at the small success stage.

Then, after consuming twelve points and eight points of luck, these two skills will be advanced to the great perfection level respectively.

At his current height, Geng Xuan discovered that he could grasp the gist of skills such as "Hongbo Swimming Body Technique" and "Li Shui Light Thorn" in a very short period of time and quickly digest and absorb them.

Just when he was planning to take advantage of the time after nightfall to make a concerted effort to advance these two skills and the "Turtle Breathing Technique" further.

Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng, and the two elders of the Xu family, who had been away for nearly half a day, came to visit again together.

The four visitors all looked very solemn.

Geng Xuan was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The four did not explain the whole story immediately, but instead took out books from their sleeves and presented them to Geng Xuan.

Geng Xuan was surprised again and asked, "What's wrong with you guys?"

Tang Caizhu took out the most books from her sleeves and spoke first.

"Boss, you are leaving tomorrow morning. Although we think it's too sudden, since you have made the decision, we can only obey.

Time is short and there is no time to prepare, so we can only use our treasures to express our gratitude. "

As she spoke, she handed four of the books to Geng Xuan and said:

“However, these four books were seized from Wuyou Palace.

These two books came from the Inner Courtyard and were the secret techniques that the Inner Courtyard relied on as its foundation.

...These two books come from the Chuan Gong Hall.

With the foundation of the Wuyou Palace's Transmission Hall, I believe that there are definitely far more good things than this.

But time is tight, so I picked two more interesting ones, which may be helpful to you. "

Geng Xuan first looked at the two secret techniques placed at the top, which Tang Caizhu mentioned were the foundation of the Inner Court.

As soon as Geng Xuan saw the three words on the title page, he felt something strange in his heart.

Because these three words are not unfamiliar to him at all, but very familiar.

We are old friends.

"The Room"

Geng Xuan picked up the book of secret techniques, flipped through it roughly, and confirmed that the contents were consistent with the one in his hand.

So he shifted his gaze and looked at the book below.

"Finger Around"

This is a new book.

Geng Xuan took it in his hand and flipped through it. After roughly reading through its general outline, he grasped the essence of this secret technique.

"This is really... Every profession has its own specialties!" Geng Xuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If the core of "The Story of the Bedroom" is "hard", then "The Story of Rotating Fingers" is "soft".

The core of "The Bedroom" is to use extreme pain to forcibly strip away the sense of shame, self-esteem and other emotions of being a human being, and then use the most primitive desires to satisfy them to fill and occupy the sudden psychological void.

Ultimately achieving the goal of controlling others.

The "Rotting Fingers" is relatively much gentler. It satisfies endless desires in a tactful and gentle manner and achieves the purpose of replacing "love" with "desire".

Although it seems that there is no direct or forced control over the other party, it will give the recipient the illusion that "we are deeply in love with each other."

And for the sake of this deep affection, one is willing to satisfy all the other person's demands and wishes, even if it means falling into the abyss and becoming the enemy of the world.

The advantages of "The Bedroom" are directness and efficiency.

The disadvantage is that it can only be used by the strong on the weak, and once the strength of the recipient increases and his will becomes strong, and the gap between him and the caster becomes closer and closer, he may be able to break free from this control.

The "Roaring Finger" chapter is just the opposite, with advantages and disadvantages interchangeable.

The weak can also use the strong in a subtle way.

Even if the caster has low skills, the recipient can easily crush him to death, but as long as you have the ability to make him experience "love", it is basically a success.

The disadvantage is that the greater the gap in strength, the more it takes to persuade and persuade, and the longer it takes.

Don't be impatient and don't reveal any flaws.

Moreover, if you don’t have the special skill of “multi-threaded operation”, it is best to use it on only one person at a time, or even for a lifetime.

Otherwise, once the truth is revealed and the "pure love warrior" feels that his "love is shattered" and wakes up from his dream, the consequences will be very terrible.

Seeing Geng Xuan staring at the "Wrapping Finger Chapter" carefully, Tang Caizhu couldn't help but whispered:

"According to what we have just learned, the concubine of Patriarch Xu is most likely someone from the inner court of Wuyou Palace.

Moreover, he mainly studies this secret art." (End of this chapter)
