After Qinghua Mountain is rebuilt, as a local force, it can better develop in the Xianwu Mountains, and its cooperation with other sects will not be difficult or hindered.
Of course, since most of the land in the Xianwu Mountains has been occupied by people, the best direction for the Ximen family to expand is the Monster Clan territory in the west.
The Xianwu Mountain Range is at the border between the human and demon tribes, and Qinghua Mountain is the westernmost sect in the Xianwu Mountain Range.
Therefore, Qinghua Mountain is naturally suitable for expanding westward and seeking benefits from the demon clan.
It's just that in order to keep a low profile and grow, it is not suitable for large-scale siege of cities and territories. Secretly developing interests is the best strategy.
Ximen Changqing will do this personally, and will bring the power of the Ximen family deep into the demon clan in the west, thereby grabbing huge benefits.
After the reconstruction ceremony, the major sects returned one after another, and the Ximen family members also went to various places to run their families according to the discussions of the clan meeting.
After Ximen Changqing made some preparations, he left Qinghua Mountain and rushed to the western realm of the Monster Clan.
At least within tens of millions of miles, he would not encounter an eighth-level monster, so he was not worried at all.
The first thing he had to do was to go to the white fox tribe five million miles away, find the nine-tailed white fox that he had enslaved, and inquire about the distribution of the demon tribe in the west.
At the same time, we also need to investigate the resources along the way. If we find no main veins or anything like that, we can move directly to Qinghua Mountain.
With the large migration formation he can deploy now, he can completely move a mine vein to the foot of Qinghua Mountain without any damage and connect it to the ground veins there.
In order to avoid causing trouble, Ximen Changqing did not escape at high altitudes. Instead, he tried his best to hide himself and walked around on the ground, exploring the terrain along the way.
Although he purchased a topographic map of the western part of the Xianwu Mountains in Xianwu City before setting off, the map content was very limited, and he discovered more than a dozen errors and omissions as soon as he set out.
Obviously, these purchased maps are very unreliable. If you want to truly understand the western monster area, you still have to do it yourself.
For this reason, Ximen Changqing released the Ice Jade Bee Swarm and asked them to disperse and be responsible for mapping the terrain. At the same time, Xiao Jin was left with several powerful spiritual beasts to protect the safety of these Ice Jade Bees.
Drawing detailed topographic maps is a very tedious task and cannot be completed in a short time.
To this end, Ximen Changqing continued to set out and handed over the task to the bees and ants, believing that they could complete the task well.
Along the way, they encountered many high-level monsters, which were easily killed by Ximen Changqing. Half a month later, they arrived at the White Fox Mountains where the White Fox Clan is entrenched.
The terrain here is quite complex, divided into an above-ground part and an underground part. Among them, the underground part is crisscrossed with caves. People who are not from the White Fox tribe will get lost after entering.
Even if you use your spiritual consciousness, it won't work. It is said that there is a spiritual object on the rock wall of the cave that blocks the spiritual consciousness, which can prevent the spiritual consciousness from passing through.
It is precisely because of the existence of underground caves that the white fox clan can continue to survive and reproduce here.
When encountering an overwhelming danger, the White Fox tribe members will hide in underground caves and take advantage of the enemy's ignorance of the caves so that the tribe can survive.
The strength of the leader of the White Fox Clan is only the seventh level, and he has the highest cultivation level among the entire clan.
There are a dozen or so seventh-level white foxes, nearly a hundred at sixth-level, and there are more low-level white foxes.
Such a huge group of white foxes can be considered a very large race.
For millions of years, human monks have invaded the White Fox clan's territory many times, causing heavy losses to the White Fox clan.
But every time, a considerable number of their tribesmen survived, gradually regaining their strength and seeking revenge on the human race.
They have been fighting against the human race for countless years and have accumulated too much hatred between the two sides, so the White Fox clan has a very bad impression of the human race.
In other words, any demon tribe has a deep hatred against the human race, and the conflict between the human and demon tribes is basically impossible to resolve.
The several groups of monsters closest to the White Fox Mountains are the Ice Bear Clan in the north, the Yanhu Clan in the south, and the Green Dragon Clan in the west.
These ethnic groups are also seventh-level ethnic groups, and the strongest strength within the tribe is the seventh-level group.
After arriving near the white fox clan's territory, Ximen Changqing took out the sound transmission spirit treasure and asked the enslaved nine-tailed white fox to come out to meet him.
"Xiaobai has met the master!"
The nine-tailed white fox saluted Ximen Changqing respectfully.
The white fox clan uses their tails to judge their superiority and inferiority. The more tails they have, the more noble they are.
Of course, in addition to the tail you have naturally at birth, when you advance in cultivation, it is also possible to stimulate the blood in your body and have more tails.
For example, many first-level white foxes are born with only one tail, but when they advance to the third or fourth level, they will awaken their bloodline and become three-tailed white foxes.
After being promoted to a higher realm, there is a chance to awaken the bloodline again and become a six-tailed white fox.
The nine-tailed white fox enslaved by Ximen Changqing was a six-tailed fox when it was born. When it advanced to the fourth level, it awakened its bloodline and became a nine-tailed white fox.
Therefore, Xiaobai's status in the white fox clan is quite high. After all, there are not many white foxes who can have six tails at birth. They are considered the elite of the white fox clan.
Of course, there are even more powerful white foxes that have nine tails at the beginning. Such a genius has a chance of becoming a ninth-level white fox.
For millions of years in the white fox clan, there has only been one white fox born with nine tails. This white fox finally advanced to the ninth level, then left the clan to look for opportunities, and eventually lost track and never came back.
Today, there are only two white foxes in the white fox clan who were born with six tails. They both have the chance to become the next leader of the white fox clan.
"Xiao Bai, how is the current situation of the white fox clan?"
Ximen Changqing asked casually.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. The White Fox clan is generally doing well. In this war between the human and demon clans, our clan's losses were only 20%, and the main force is still there!"
Xiaobai answered truthfully about the situation of the ethnic group.
"Tell me about the situation of the surrounding monster clans, such as the high-level monster clans, topography, whether there are mineral resources, and whether there are any dangers..."
Ximen Changqing asked.
Xiaobai was also unambiguous and carefully described the situation near the White Fox Mountain Range.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We even took out a map of the White Fox clan that will not be revealed to the public, so that Ximen Changqing can better understand the surrounding situation.
After the war between the human and demon tribes, the nearby demon tribes have also undergone great changes. Some tribes have suffered heavy losses, while others have suffered very little losses.
In this case, the ethnic group that has become relatively stronger wants to seize the territory of the ethnic group that has become weaker, so as to have more benefits.
The cultivation of the demon race also requires resources, which is not much different from that of the human race.
For example, some monsters practice with blood energy, so they must hunt other monsters for their own food.
For example, the Yanhu clan mainly focuses on cultivating Qi and blood. They need to devour the bodies of other demon clans to improve their own strength.
Within the scope of activities of the Yanhu clan, there are too many small clans of monsters.
In order to avoid the fate of annihilation, many small tribes had to send low-level tribesmen to the Yanhu tribe regularly to serve as food for them.
The more monster clans there are in the territory under their command, the more people the Yanhu clan can support.
Therefore, the monsters also have the need to expand. In this battle between the two clans, the Yanhu clan suffered little loss, while the rival Canglang clan suffered more than half.
As a result, the Yanhu clan started to take over the territory of the Canglang clan. According to Xiaobai, the two clans were already at war.
After several wars, the Yanhu clan has seized the territory of the Canglang clan with a radius of millions of miles, including at least hundreds of small clans.
These small tribes can provide a large number of low-level tribesmen every year, allowing the Yanhu tribe to feed more tribesmen.
Of course, the fight between these two ethnic groups has nothing to do with the White Fox Clan. Anyway, no ethnic group will want to mess with the White Fox Clan.
After all, the White Fox Clan's underground caves are notoriously difficult to deal with. At the same time, in this battle between the human and demon clans, the White Fox Clan suffered little loss and their strength is still quite good.
After understanding the situation nearby, Ximen Changqing felt that as long as Xiaobai became the leader of the White Fox clan, from now on, the nearby clans would submit to the White Fox clan. In this way, this group of monster beasts would become the power of the Ximen family.
"Whichever of you and another competitor advances to the seventh level first can officially become the heir of the clan. This is easy to do, and the master can fully assist you."
The first thing Ximen Changqing has to do is to help Xiaobai advance to the seventh level, so that he can become the heir to the White Fox clan.
According to the clan rules of the White Fox clan, the heir of the clan can succeed to the throne in advance. At that time, Ximen Changqing's next plan can be implemented smoothly.
"Master, I am only at the middle level of the sixth level. Can I really be promoted to the seventh level quickly?"
Xiaobai is also looking forward to it in his heart.
"Don't worry, the master has a lot of natural and earthly treasures. It's not too difficult to promote you to the seventh level. However, you must first be promoted to the sixth level.
These are all elixirs that you can use. Take them back and practice them carefully. After you are promoted to the sixth level, tell me immediately."
Ximen Changqing said, and took out a bunch of high-grade elixirs, which are all good things that can help the White Fox clan increase their cultivation speed.
With these high-grade elixirs, Xiaobai can be promoted to the sixth level of high-grade in a short period of time, thus having the capital to advance to the seventh level, and eventually become the leader of the White Fox clan.
"Yes, Master, I will not let you down!"
Xiaobai took a bunch of old elixirs and quickly returned to the White Fox tribe.
Ximen Changqing also immediately moved away and began to explore nearby according to the newly acquired map.
"Sister, I got promoted, congratulations!"
As soon as Xiaobai returned to his clan area, he saw another white fox coming out of seclusion, who was also his competitor.
The opponent has just been promoted and is already a sixth-level high-grade white fox.
"Thank you very much. Sister, please hurry up and don't fall too far behind, hehe!"
The other white fox smiled, turned around and walked towards the family hall.
The good news of the breakthrough must be told to the clan leader and other senior officials immediately in order to increase one's chances of becoming the heir.
Sure enough, as soon as it entered the lobby, there were many elders of the White Fox clan who felt that the successor could be determined in advance.
After all, Xiaobai lags behind every time, and all the senior officials feel that he will also fall behind if he is promoted to the seventh level. Instead of doing this, it is better to determine the identity of the heir first.
"There's no rush, let's wait until it reaches level seven before making a decision! Lest anyone gossip!"
The leader of the White Fox clan did not agree, and encouraged the junior, allowing him to rest and continue to practice hard, striving to advance to the seventh level as soon as possible and take over the burden of the clan leader.
Xiaobai practiced hard in seclusion in his family, and Ximen Changqing got a detailed map. After personally exploring it, he was very satisfied.
So, he immediately set out to join the swarm of bees and ants.
With the map of the White Fox Clan, there is no need for the bees and ant colonies to work hard to draw the map.
Next, Ximen Changqing will analyze where there are mineral veins based on the map.
His skill as a spirit hunter has also reached the seventh level. He can deduce something by simply analyzing the direction of mountains, rivers, and changes in vegetation and spiritual energy.
After spending three days, Ximen Changqing found a sixth-level spiritual mine.
"The sixth-grade low-grade Phoenix Blood Iron is still a medium-sized vein, not bad, very good!"
After getting the ore, Ximen Changqing was very satisfied.
He immediately escaped underground, carefully inspected the veins, and then set up a large migration formation around the veins.
There is also a migration formation on Qinghua, which can be linked with the migration formation here to accurately provide coordinates.
"Boom!"
As the ground veins made a loud noise, a medium-sized vein began to slowly move towards Qinghua Mountain.
This is the first high-level mineral vein that Ximen Changqing has moved in the demon clan area, but it will definitely not be the last.
The huge commotion caused by the relocation of the mineral veins naturally aroused the vigilance of nearby monsters, and some monsters quietly came to investigate.
"Little giant, little ape, scare them away!"
Ximen Changqing released two spiritual pets, letting them release seventh-level pressure to scare away the surrounding low-level monsters.
In the surrounding area, the only ones that could feel the movement were sixth-level monsters at most, and they did not dare to challenge the seventh-level spiritual beasts.
Sure enough, after sensing the auras of Xiaoju and Xiaoyu, all the surrounding monsters hurriedly retreated, for fear of offending the strong man.
There was no disturbance from monsters and the migration went very smoothly.
As the mineral vein went further away, the movement gradually became smaller and smaller. It was not until one day later, when the mineral vein reached Qinghua Mountain, that there was no movement at all.
Next, Ximen Changqing continued to search for and move mineral veins. As long as they were high-level mineral veins with greater value, he would move them to the Qinghua Mountain Tribe.
With his superb skills as a spirit hunter, Ximen Changqing can discover a mineral vein every few days.
However, he will only set up formations and migrate to high-level ore veins of level five or above. He will disdain low-level ore veins.
After all, migration will take a lot of time. Naturally, only the value of high-level mineral veins is worth his effort.
In one month, Ximen Changqing moved six high-grade mineral veins back.
This made the Ximen family members stationed at Qinghua Mountain overjoyed. All these high-level mineral veins belonged to the Ximen family.
In order to mine in a low-key manner, these veins are located deep underground and require long passages to reach them.
In order to maintain sustainable mining and keep it as secret as possible, the Ximen family will not allow ordinary disciples to enter the mineral veins.
Only members of the Ximen family and disciples who have made serious mistakes can enter the underground mines.
My own people will not betray the family. If a disciple who makes a mistake enters the mine, he has no intention of being released in this life, so there is no need to worry about leaking the secret.
As for the continuous movements in Qinghua Mountain, we can tell the disciples that it is caused by the elders practicing earth-based exercises.
