Chapter 1946: Tyrannical (Guaranteed monthly pass scheduled for next month)
Chapter 1876: Tyrannical (Guaranteed monthly pass scheduled for next month)
For the Yan family's foundation builder, how to deal with the three people in front of him is beyond his ability.
Report it back to the family, and someone will naturally make the decision.
What he has to do now is to further test the other party's situation.
So he said with a little surprise, "You bought the land and don't plan to develop it?"
If you buy spiritual veins just for cultivation, it is really too extravagant.
No matter which cultivating force, once it occupies a certain place, it will inevitably develop some industries in exchange for cultivation materials.
This is how Xiu Xian Bai Yi came about. Each has its own expertise and trades with each other to increase the room for growth.
If you have spiritual veins and land in your hands but don't develop and utilize them, wouldn't it be like sitting in vain?
Hua Scorpion replied calmly, "It's enough to plant some spiritual plants and raise some spiritual beasts for your own use."
So... arrogant? The Yan Family Foundation Establishment was really speechless, "Like pills, talismans, and weapon refining... you don't need them?"
This time it was Xiangxue's turn to answer. She is good at doing business. "We will purchase it when needed."
"Our existence will not affect the Yan family's existing industrial structure, so you can rest assured."
Still arrogant! Yan Family Establishment nodded silently.
However, what the other party said was in his heart. When the Yan family inquired about the other party's industrial layout, it was more than just curiosity.
Within the Yan family's sphere of influence, each force has its strengths, and currently a relatively balanced situation has been formed.
If a spoiler does appear, all parties will have to reshuffle the cards, causing all kinds of chaos.
So he smiled and nodded, "Well, it would be great if we can live in peace with our neighbors and support each other."
Now that you have this understanding, the price is easier to negotiate.
In the end, the two parties agreed to use 300,000 spirit stones to buy the land use rights for the surrounding 100 square kilometers.
The service life is one hundred years, and the price will be negotiated after one hundred years.
On average, there are only thirty spiritual stones per square kilometer per year. The price is indeed not expensive, but it is not too cheap either.
The terrain here is diverse and not every piece of land can be utilized.
If you want to make full use of these 100 square kilometers, the cost of renovation alone will not be small, it will definitely be much more expensive than 300,000.
And these 300,000 spiritual stones were equivalent to one-third of the team's reserves, which could be regarded as a serious blow to the team.
As for the contract? The Yan family said, let’s sign a rough contract first, and I will send you the formal document later.
In fact, this document also came from the Yan family, and other forces just did not deny it.
If after this, the Yan family disappears and other forces take over, this document will generally be reluctantly recognized.
It is precisely because of this that the Yan family can only buy and sell the use rights for one hundred years - almost all small and medium-sized forces in Dongsheng have this authority.
If it is seven major families or five sects and fourteen sects, the contract can be signed for five hundred years.
Only the cultivator alliance can sell spiritual veins permanently, but usually, they also choose a time-limited method when selling.
After signing the draft contract, Hua Xiezi happily took out 100,000 spiritual stones as a deposit.
The remaining 200,000 will be discussed after the other party's official documents are sent.
The Yan family's foundation builders were also very courageous. After receiving the deposit, they actually jumped into the air and left.
The purpose of his behavior was to show the other party... My Yan family has absolute control over this place and is not afraid of being robbed.
However, the three people pretended not to see it, and instead scanned the newly acquired land with great interest.
"Isn't it?" The Yan family's foundation was slightly surprised. This is a hundred thousand spiritual stones. Do you not care so much?
He is indeed arrogant...
Although Dongsheng's order is acceptable, the amount of one hundred thousand spirit stones is enough to tempt some Jindan masters who are practicing casual cultivators.
The casual cultivators of the Yan family flew back to the family, reported what happened, and emphasized that the other party took out one hundred thousand spiritual stones without blinking an eye.
In fact, for Qu Jianlei and the others, this is a sum of money that is definitely worthy of attention.
It's just that their spiritual stones all come from theft, not hard-earned savings, so it's really not that painful to spend them.
The Jin Dan in charge of foreign affairs of the Yan family was named Yan Xuemin. When he heard that the family had received such a sum of money, he immediately recruited the foundation builder.
"Sicong, please tell me how you came into contact with me."
Yan Sicong told what happened, focusing on the two golden elixir talismans and the invisible man.
After hearing this, Jin Dan Patriarch Yan Xuemin nodded thoughtfully, "Are you sure it's a talisman, not a talisman?"
"It should... be a talisman," Yan Sicong thought for a while and was not sure, "The main reason is that the material is very rare."
"That means it has a good history," the ancestor nodded slightly, "Don't be too troublesome in times of crisis."
"Ancestor..." Yan Sicong hesitated before speaking, "They really have unknown origins."
"Then take your time and look at it," the ancestor gave him a cold look, "Isn't the sincerity enough when people promise not to sell their output?"
Within the Yan family's sphere of influence, many industries are related to the family's interests.
With the current strength of this force, if it really wants to interfere in certain industries, the interests of the Yan family will inevitably be damaged.
Moreover, if the other party really does not trade with the outside world, there will be far fewer people and things to come into contact with.
"Without communication, are you worried about what kind of trouble they will stir up? Or...are you jealous of other people's spiritual stones?"
"I don't dare," Yan Sicong replied respectfully, "I still remember the ancestral teachings, but I think they are a bit flamboyant."
"Then there should be no fuss," the ancestor said calmly, "They are willing to pay these three hundred thousand, and they still have good intentions towards the Yan family."
Not to mention that the land does not have to be bought from the Yan family. If there is really an ulterior motive, it is not such a way to invest in the enemy.
The Yan family's entire wealth is worth tens of millions of spiritual stones, but most of it is property or material reserves.
The survival and development of large families are mostly asset-heavy. The Yan family can only have a few million pieces of spiritual stone at their disposal at any time.
Yan Sicong murmured, "I mean... is it appropriate to requisition, uh, secondment their manpower?"
This is another benefit of establishing a sphere of influence. When encountering problems, cultivators from all forces within the territory can be recruited.
But when encountering those forces that are too powerful, it is definitely not suitable for requisition.
For example, the Fourteenth Faction also has some permanent offices in the Yan family's territory. Who dares to recruit them?
However, in case of serious public incidents, the Yan family, as local leaders, has organizational responsibility and can be seconded through negotiation.
"Well... let's wait and see," the ancestor replied thoughtfully. The family's fear of the other party was mainly because they didn't know the details.
But then, he smiled slightly and said, "Forget it, I will go with you to take a look later. There are only second-order spiritual veins on the left and right."
None of them had considered that there would be a real Jin Dan in the opponent's team.
The upper limit of the supply of second-level spiritual veins is there. If the other party really has golden elixir, it can only guarantee that the cultivation level will not be affected in the short term.
However, if there really is such a golden elixir master, will other foundation-building cultivators still practice?
As for saying there are two golden elixirs... I'm not kidding!
There may be a huge force behind the opponent, but it is impossible for the masters of this force to be projected here... They really can't afford to support him!
If it's just a few foundations, there's really nothing to worry about.
"Good meeting, ancestor!" Yan Sicong was overjoyed, "I mean the same thing. It would be great if you could go and have a look in person."
He is indeed a bit greedy, but at his core he still cares about his family.
After buying the land, there are many related matters, such as determining the boundaries, building a residence, building various infrastructure, etc.
When Qu Jianlei and the others were clearing the boundary, they discovered that there were four small villages on their property.
The large village has more than 200 people, while the small village has only more than 60 people and eight households.
There are more than 500 people in the four villages, and there are actually two Qi practitioners among them.
This was a village that had spontaneously gathered together before. It was just a convenience to ward off ferocious beasts and thieves.
They are the real tenants of the Yan family, and the land does not belong to them.
To be more precise, they were tenants of tenants, and the four villages had to pay taxes to the two nearby forces.
The tax is quite heavy. For farmland, it is 37%, and 70% is paid. If necessary, manpower must be provided for labor.
After Hua Xiezi heard about this, he was a little unhappy. Someone else was actually living in the land he bought?
But these people have settled here for a long time, and the oldest family has been here for more than two hundred years.
This is undoubtedly the lowest level of the world of immortality, and life is quite difficult. This reminds Hua Xiezi of his years on the garbage planet.
So she didn't chase people away, but reported it to the boss.
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and said, "Inform them that they are ready to move. This place has been bought by us."
These people are indeed pitiful, but the land has indeed changed owners. It cannot be said that if you have lived there for a long time, it should become your own.
Zi Jiuxian made a suggestion, "How about some compensation for moving expenses? Since we plan to live here permanently, reputation is very important."
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and agreed to her suggestion. They were all poor people anyway, and the team was not short of money.
"If those people refuse to move, inform the Yan family and let them handle it."
When I bought the spiritual vein, I bought pure land, and there are actually people living on it. It is best to let the seller handle it.
However, as expected, the vast majority of villagers expressed unwillingness to relocate.
There are many reasons for not wanting to move. Some say they are old, some say it is difficult to leave their homeland, and some emphasize that the farmland is developed by oneself.
Some even said that the relocation fee was a bit too low.
However, most people still hold a wait-and-see attitude. After all, they have lived here for too long and it is difficult to decide whether to move or not.
What one of the old men said makes sense to some extent - for these poor families, moving once will cost them most of their lives.
They couldn't take away their farm buildings, more than half of their means of production would be lost, and they didn't know where they could go.
Even if a place is found, the house needs to be rebuilt and the farmland needs to be reclaimed, this cannot be solved in one or two years.
Without external help, it will take at least five to ten years for a family to stabilize again.
