Counting from the time when the family was separated in Qingshi Town, the Yang family has developed over seventy or eighty years. From the original two to three hundred households with a population of two thousand and less than two hundred monks, to now there are nearly two thousand households with a population of more than ten thousand monks.
A scale of nearly a thousand.
Of course, in addition to the large-scale reproduction of the population, this rapid expansion also has the signature of the Yang family. In short, the men of the Yang family are extremely popular in the entire Mengyu County, not to mention those who marry and give away their daughters.
Well, as long as there are some Yang family men who have some ability, there are usually more than one or two women around them. Even the Yang family women have no worries about getting married, and there are also not a few who come to marry.
To exaggerate, in the past few decades, about one-third of the Yang family's population of 7,000 to 8,000 people came from wives, concubines, and sons-in-law.
This does not include the various small families, small forces, and various relatives through marriage that have gradually attached themselves to the Yang family over the years with the rise of the Yang family.
Of course, the real main body of the Yang family is not the group of more than ten thousand people, but the core of nearly a thousand Yang family monks.
Among the nearly a thousand Yang monks, nearly 80% are at the mortal realm, and less than 200 have truly reached the warrior realm or above. Among them, nearly 70% are only at the first or second level of the warrior realm.
But even so, the growth of the Yang family's strength is also incredible, and all of this is based on the Yang family's continuous enterprising spirit over the years.
Today, the Yang family owns almost the entire Mengyu County and Huyao County, and the entire Quwu Mountain Range occupies more than a quarter of the western end. It can support such a large group of monks solely through its ability, and it can even go further.
In addition to the sphere of influence they control, the Yang family now also has a relatively complete family inheritance system. Children under the third generation can now be roughly divided into three levels: ordinary family children, elite children and core children according to their cultivation potential.
The cultivation techniques that ordinary disciples uphold are mostly the Dharma-level inheritance accumulated by the Yang family over the years or the spiritual-level inheritance without advanced skills. If ordinary disciples are promoted to the martial arts realm, they will be passed down once in the family.
The opportunity to choose spiritual-level magical powers in the land.
Those who can become elite disciples must at least reach the martial arts realm in terms of cultivation. Elite disciples mostly practice spiritual-level inheritance with advanced techniques, and even have the opportunity to come into contact with several treasure-level inheritances of the Yang family.
Of course, what you get from the skills is only the cultivation method below the real person level of the treasure level skills.
Compared with ordinary disciples, elite disciples have at least two opportunities to choose spiritual magical powers. The first time is after advancing to the warrior realm, and the second time is at least after the evil spirit realm.
Generally speaking, the core disciples of the Yang family need to be at least at the third level of the martial arts realm. Except for a few high-grade treasure-level inheritances, they have almost access to most of the Yang family's inheritance, and there are also
At least three or more opportunities to choose spiritual powers.
However, the current internal competition within the Yang family is extremely strong, and ordinary disciples are just that. Generally speaking, anyone who can be included in the fairy spirit can be regarded as an ordinary disciple of the Yang family, but it is not easy to become an elite disciple.
In addition to the hard conditions of martial arts cultivation to become an elite disciple, the normal way to become an elite disciple is to pass the Yang family's annual small competition and the big competition every three years, and achieve the desired ranking.
That's it.
However, the Yang family's major competition and minor competition are relatively strict, and the number of elite disciples admitted is very small. Generally speaking, only the top two will be selected as elite disciples in the annual minor competition, and the top two will be selected as elite disciples in the big competition every three years.
Comparable to the top eight admitted.
In other words, the entire Yang family will only produce twelve elite disciples every three years. In the two-year competition, only Yang family members will participate, and only the Yang family's children will be admitted.
However, non-Yang monks were allowed to participate.
Every three years, a total of twenty-eight outstanding foreign monks of the right age are selected from six towns and one city in Mengyu County and one city in Huyao County to participate in the Yang Family Competition.
If someone is able to enter the top eight in the end, he will be treated equally with other Yang children and be trained as an elite member of the family.
Other foreign disciples who are not selected can also enjoy the treatment of ordinary disciples of the Yang family. In the future, they will serve as vassal forces pro-Yang family and fight for the Yang family.
It can be said that the elite monk selection competition held every three years by the Yang family is the largest event within the sphere of influence controlled by the entire Yang family.
As for the selection of the most important core disciples of the Yang family, it is much more low-key and secretive, and those who can become core disciples must get the approval of the five core disciples of the family. So far, only members of the Yang family and a few
Disciples of real people, such as Su Baozhang, Yang Tiangang’s only disciple.
After the Yang family and the Tanxi Sect joined forces to win the victory at the Twelve True Demon Peaks, the Yang family ushered in the most grand elite disciple selection event in the past decades, and it is said that this event will be hosted by the patriarch of the Yang family
, Xuangang Realm monk Yang Tiangang personally presided over it!
Moreover, it is said that in addition to Master Yang Tiangang, Master Yang Junshan and Master Yang Junping may also appear at this event, and even Master Xia Yuan, a true disciple of the Fei Sect who has been very popular in the entire Yuzhou cultivation world recently, is possible.
Come to Xishan Village to challenge Master Junshan.
When the time comes, the monks who come to Wasteland Town are very likely to see a battle between Tiangang realm monks. This is probably a grand occasion that most monks will never see in their lifetime!
Twenty-eight candidate elite disciples from twelve towns and two cities in Mengyu and Huyao counties have arrived in Huangtu Town, and will compete with the Yang family's fifty-three martial arts monks of the right age for the only eight elite disciple spots.
.
In addition to these candidate elites, a large number of monks came to Huangtu Town to watch the battle. They were mainly monks from Mengyu County and Huyao County under the jurisdiction of the Yang family, and many other areas in Yuzhou were also mixed in.
The monks came after hearing the news.
With more people, various frictions and accidents naturally occur more frequently. In order to prevent accidents from happening these days, the Yang family has led a team of elite disciples to patrol the entire Wasteland town day and night. In addition, high-level monks from the Yang family such as
He has been active in various major events in Yuzhou's cultivation world for many times, so no one who is short-sighted dares to openly challenge the limits of the Yang family's famous family.
However, as the saying goes, it is easy to hide with open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows. Although everything in the entire Wasteland Town is still under the firm control of the Yang family, Yang Tiangang still does not dare to be careless. Except for the military patrol led by elite disciples of the Yang family,
In addition to the guard team, three real people, Junshan, Junping, and Junqi, were also sent out to roam around Huangtu Town from time to time.
On this day, Yang Junshan happened to have nothing to do, so he started wandering on a whim. After saying hello to Lao Yang, he restrained himself from the monk Shi Shiran and left Xishan Village.
Nowadays, the townhouse generation outside Xishan Village and up to Huangtu Town has spontaneously formed a prosperous corridor where monks gather. Coupled with the triennial elite competition of the famous Yang family, this generation is even more prosperous.
Yang Junshan felt that the crowd was noisy, so he wandered in a random direction. After a while, he realized that he had reached the edge of Qinshui River, and had followed Qinshui River to the southeast for more than ten miles.
It was at this time that Yang Junshan suddenly said "Hey" and suddenly discovered that there was spiritual energy gathering on the Qinshui River not far ahead and emitting regular fluctuations.
"It's a coincidence that there are people practicing magical powers here!"
Yang Junshan walked unconsciously towards the place where the spiritual energy gathered, but he saw a turning point where the Qinshui River flows. The river here is fast, but the water spiritual energy in the sky is condensed. It can be seen that the cultivation level of the cultivator has already
There is a bit of heat, and the cultivator is still standing at the bottom of the water. It seems that he has been able to endure the impact of the water for a long time, which shows that the physical body is not doing well.
Yang Junshan's spiritual consciousness swept away and he knew almost everything about the cultivator. He saw that this young cultivator was so bold that he actually immersed himself in cultivation at the bottom of the river without any protective measures. If someone didn't do it at this time,
Interrupting someone with good intentions, or even just throwing a stone into the water as a prank, may break the person's cultivation atmosphere, and may even cause the person to go crazy. Yang Junshan simply stayed by the river to protect him.
.
I don’t know which monk this is, but he is so careless!
Things often happen by coincidence. Just when Yang Junshan was standing by the river, he heard footsteps among the reeds in the distance, and a voice said: "That Ding Rulan used to practice in the water, and now it is near Xishan Village.
There is only this Qinshui River, and as long as we search along the Qinshui River, we will definitely be able to find traces of her."
At this time, another voice came: "Brother Ma, is this appropriate? In any case, Ding Rulan is also one of the two seeds selected by our Wilderness Town to participate in this Yang family elite event, and the names have been reported truthfully.
, even if I defeat her now, I’m afraid I won’t be qualified to participate in the elite event.”
The voice from before said: "Hmph, that Ding Rulan is very arrogant. As long as you, Brother Tang, can defeat her, she will definitely withdraw from this elite event. By then, even if Brother Tang is not qualified, the village chiefs in Wilderness Town will also
I will implore Mayor Yang to add your name to the list. Don’t forget, if Brother Tang has the opportunity to become an elite disciple of the Yang family, then the entire Wilderness Town will benefit."
"I always feel that this is a bit despicable. After all, Ding Rulan has already been included in the elite selection list."
"That's not because you missed the selection, Brother Tang. If you, Brother Tang, were present at that time, it's still unknown whether Ding Rulan could still get one of the two places!"
