Songzhou is in the middle of the human race, with a Bianhe River crossing it. The state capital is Great Song City, which is a place favored by literati.
The city's chess, calligraphy and painting are top-notch among the human race.
Long Dahai came to the city alone and visited the city's tens of thousands of years of elegance.
"What were once ordinary rocks, after tens of thousands of years of formation refinement, have now become spiritual materials, and many have even begun to turn into jade."
But from the city wall at the entrance, Long Dahai can feel the weight of history.
"The latest city wall is 60,000 years old and records the long development process of the human race."
Starting from the city gate, to the farmland roads, and then to the residential areas of ordinary residents, Long Dahai saw prosperity.
Under the governance of the Song family that has been passed down for 60,000 years, the overall living standards of farmers and urban residents are good. As long as they work hard, they can at least have enough food and clothing.
Under his spiritual consciousness, countless villages were imprinted in Long Dahai's mind, and every move of countless residents also appeared in his mind.
The basic understanding of Songcheng is so simple.
A monk who cultivates the void can clearly perceive the living conditions of the people at the bottom with just one thought.
After staying in villages and ordinary urban areas for three days, Long Dahai arrived at the place where the monks lived.
There are fifth-level spiritual veins in the city, and the monks must occupy the most concentrated ones.
"The fifth-level high-grade spiritual veins are not very far away from being promoted to the sixth level."
The spiritual stones, spiritual trees, spiritual springs, etc. associated with the fifth-level spiritual veins are a good source of income. They can also be used as the foundation of formations to form a highly efficient spirit-gathering town.
"Before the death of the head of the Song family, the Song family occupied three county towns, seven prefectural cities, and twenty-four county towns in Songzhou."
"Now the Song family occupies two county towns, three prefectural cities, and twelve county towns, and the benefits it has brought out are quite a lot."
The Song family is very sensible. Otherwise, if the new governor takes office, he will never allow most of the county and city in his territory to be in the hands of other families.
"It has been inherited for tens of thousands of years. When it was glorious, it had three masters of Void Refining at the same time, but it could not withstand the erosion of time, and there was a situation of inconsistency."
Long Dahai naturally knew something about the Song family. It was one of the oldest families in the human race and was famous for refining talismans and making exquisite magic weapons.
But that is the Song family's method. After the new governor moves in, there will definitely be changes.
Long Dahai, who was wandering around the city, could find that the Song family's properties, which were originally the home of the state lord, were spread throughout the city and were still very lively.
"The Song family knows how to run a business, and has earned a lot of spiritual stones. It can even be regarded as one of the richest families in the human race. However, it has not been able to produce a Void Refining cultivator, so it has to give up most of its profits."
It is a good thing that the store is running well. Songzhou's tax revenue will definitely not be less in the future. If the Song family is smart, the Long family will definitely express their opinions after moving in.
Long Dahai was very satisfied with Song State, so he was bound to win the position of state leader.
Xianlaiju Inn, Long Dahai rented a Tianzihao villa as his place to stay in Songzhou.
There is still one year left before the selection of the state leader, and there will be six Void Refining monks participating in the competition.
In addition to the state leader, the human race also has a lot of extra void-refining monks accumulated over the years.
But the Immortal League has its own standards for selecting the state leader.
The six people, including Long Dahai, were selected based on the criteria of the Immortal Alliance.
After all, having a human population of hundreds of millions in one state is no small matter.
It is impossible for everyone to be selected. You must have certain qualifications to compete for the position of state leader.
"One middle stage, three late stages, and one suspected to be the perfect state of refining the void. It's really interesting."
After knowing the strength of his opponent, Long Dahai was not surprised or felt any pressure.
The Immortal Alliance also sent a copy of the opponent's basic information, but the above records are definitely not true.
The information on some opponents actually dates from five thousand years ago, so apart from the names, the forces behind them, and the attributes of the techniques on the list, there is no need to study the rest too carefully.
"Xuanyin Sect, Gale Valley, etc. are all inhabited by fusion monks, established forces of the human race."
"It seems that my rise and the unconventional things my family has done have made these established forces feel the pressure. They couldn't sit still and began to suppress me."
"The Human Emperor and the Great Elder already know the root cause of this matter, but they cannot interfere too much. Being able to ensure the stability of the Long family is the result of their greatest efforts."
What could be wrong if people don't sell their own specific resources to the Long family? However, if the hand is too long, the Long family will cut it off, otherwise outsiders will think that the Long family is easy to bully.
In this world, weakness is the original sin, and only the strong can truly survive.
The Song family currently has no Void Refining monks, so even if they are rich, they have to give up most of their benefits.
"After this battle, if these forces still blockade the Long family, then the Long family will also interrupt their minions and leave them without a foothold in the seven northern states."
The three states of Star Blue Sea, plus the four states newly opened by the human race, are now considered emerging families under the rule of the Immortal Alliance.
There are many established forces, including many business alliances and hunting teams, operating in the seven northern states.
After this war, the established forces still block the Long Family, so the Long Family will have to show off their skills and show their strength.
With the Great Elder and the Human Emperor here, I don't think those old monsters who are the combined level of the old forces will take action personally.
If you dare to take action, some of the stumbling blocks that hinder the prosperity of the human race with old ideas will be eradicated by the Human Emperor and others.
Thoughts raced, and finally calmness returned.
In this small courtyard of Tianzi size, Long Dahai started his own small life.
Every night I meditate and practice, and during the day I just wander around the field.
In the city with the most literati atmosphere, you can make friends with literati, go to poetry gatherings to listen to madmen writing poems, and watch painters depict human landscapes with their brushes.
One year was spent fully and comfortably in Songcheng.
"Brother Long, no one is comfortable in the immortal world, so why pursue that illusory thing?"
Li Xiaobai was a crazy person. Now over forty, he was a celebrity among the literati in Songcheng. He loved writing poems and drinking wine the most, which was quite satisfying.
"The path to immortality is ethereal, but it is what I want. Brother Li, there is no need to talk like a dog."
Li Xiaobai regards Long Dahai as a mortal who pursues immortality, and wants to seek immortality for the sake of the skills that mortals can practice.
Tonight, Long Dahai came to say goodbye, so we had a lot of conversation.
After leaving, looking at Li Xiaobai, Long Dahai realized a lot in his heart.
He benefited a lot from Li Xiaobai.
"Shizhi, these two words are very obvious in him. When you pursue what you want, you don't have to worry too much about failure or success."
In a moment of enlightenment, Long Dahai began to practice.
