In the hinterland of Tianyun State, a thousand miles west of Tianluo City, this is a spiritual mountain that does not even have a name. There is a second-level spiritual vein on the mountain, and 500 acres of first-level spiritual fields have been opened up.
This Lingshan is owned by Tianyunzhou Tiejianmen, but Tiejianmen only has more than a thousand people, but there are two third-level Lingshan under the sect, so it is impossible to run it. They can only hire casual cultivators to run it, and Luo Dabao's family can't.
It has been operating this mountain for Tie Jianmen for more than sixty years.
Luo Dabao is a typical casual cultivator. His parents gave birth to him, but they did not have very good qualifications and did not join the sect. Fortunately, he learned the pretty good craftsmanship of Ling Zhifu and was able to continue practicing as a cultivator.
Eating in the fairy world.
When Luo Dabao was thirty years old, he rented this spiritual mountain with several colleagues. Later he married a wife and had children. Because he was a monk, he was quite popular among mortals. Luo Dabao took two wives and four concubines in his life.
, gave birth to nine sons and six daughters, and sixty years later, his great-grandchildren have more than thirty. After the six daughters got married, they also had dozens of children, in fact, they formed a small family.
family.
There are now seven immortal cultivators in the Luo family, and there are also eight immortal cultivators in the husband's family of the six daughters. There are more than 300 mortals.
These people are all crowded together on this hill. It is already very crowded. After all, the five hundred acres of spiritual fields have exhausted 90% of the profound energy in the spiritual veins, and they have to take turns to even meditate.
Luo Dabao has wanted to find a spiritual mountain for his family to recuperate thirty years ago. They also proposed to the Iron Sword Sect to purchase this spiritual mountain, but they were rejected. Therefore, this matter became Luo Dabao's heartache, and
Now it seems that there is a possibility of recovery from this heart disease.
"I got the news that this time Tianyun Prefecture has occupied Baiyan Prefecture. Because Baiyan Prefecture helped Chunyang Palace, the Xueyan Sect has been wiped out and the rest of the forces have been wiped out. Tiansheng Sect intends to take Baiyan Prefecture's Lingshan
If we sell them all, our Luo family will have an opportunity to prosper."
"Father, is this true? But Baiyan Prefecture is so close to Chunyang Palace. What if they come to attack after we buy Lingshan?"
"There won't be this problem. Tiansheng Sect has promised that all forces that purchase Lingshan will be protected by Tianyun State. In ten years, if we spend another amount of money after ten years, they can be included in the Tianyun State system. From now on, we will
They are their own people.”
"This seems to be no problem. Father, how much does it cost to buy Lingshan?"
"The first-level low-grade Lingshan has 10,000 mysterious crystals. If you increase the level by one level, it will add 10,000. The second-level low-grade crystals will increase by 80,000.
"What, it's so cheap. Doesn't it mean that half a million Xuanjing can buy a third-level high-grade spiritual stone? This is too cheap."
"Father, could it be that the goods are cheap but not good?"
"No, Tianyun Prefecture was forced this time. They spent a lot of money fighting and borrowed a lot of money, but they did not attack Chunyang Palace. The loot was not enough, so they had to sell it cheaply. In addition, these Lingshan Mountains are not
With mortals, each mortal has one Xuan Jing, not only sold by family, but also sold by family. If the third-level Lingshan does not have the support of hundreds of thousands of mortals, it will be of no use at all."
"I see, then, father, do we really want to buy this time?"
"Well, it must be bought. This is the foundation for the prosperity of our Luo family. Tianyun Prefecture has already spoken. This time, the sale of Lingshan will give priority to those with clean wealth in Tianyun Prefecture. This is also a preferential price for us. If it is a foreign monk
, the price will have to increase by about 20% by then.”
"Father, I am in charge of the Luo family's financial resources. Over the past decades, our family has only saved 20,000 Xuanjing. Even if we harvest and sell the spiritual valley this year, the total savings will be more than 30,000. Even the second-level low-grade
You can’t even buy it in Lingshan”
"I know, I can borrow some from your sisters."
"Father, it's not like you don't know about the situation on my sister's side. There's a whole family here, and they may not have this idea."
"Then let's unite. We don't build families, we build sects. I can see that in Tianyun Prefecture, families have no potential, only sects do. The seven of us pooled together more than 100,000 Xuanjing to buy a second-level building.
Lower grade Lingshan, if you buy tens of thousands more mortals, you may not be able to grow in a hundred years. I will discuss this matter personally."
Luo Dabao gritted his teeth and said, if one family can't afford a second-level Lingshan, then the seven families can always afford it together. Plus tens of thousands of mortals, the Luo family may not have no hope of rising.
········
In Gongming City, in a huge courtyard, five elderly monks are discussing. They were sworn brothers together as eleven monks decades ago, but now only five of them survive.
"Brother, have you heard about Tianyun Prefecture's sale of Baiyan Prefecture's Lingshan Mountain?"
"I heard that this is an announcement from the Tiansheng Sect. I have been reading it for a day."
"Then is the big brother excited?"
"Of course I am moved. We were eleven brothers who became sworn brothers back then, but now there are only five of you and me left. Why? It's because we have no place to stay and no stable source of money, so we have to venture into the wilderness to hunt monsters.
, collecting elixirs, others see our brothers harvesting a lot at one time, but have they ever seen us cry when we are injured?
Lao Shiyi was only twenty-three years old when he died. He didn't even have a wife, so he was swallowed up by a monster and no bones were left.
Now we all have descendants, but our skills are lacking, and there is no alchemy weapon array to pass on. The women go to work in shops, and the men continue to hunt monsters. Of my six sons, three more died because of this. All this is because we are casual cultivators.
.
Many years ago, I dreamed that we brothers could occupy a spiritual mountain and plant spiritual valleys and elixirs on the mountain. It would be tiring, but it would be safe.
But Te Niang’s wild Lingshan Mountain can’t stand if it’s snatched away. I don’t know when it will be eaten by monsters passing by. However, the Tianyun Prefecture sects are self-contained and support each other. You can’t snatch whoever is yours, hey.”
The boss silenced everyone when he talked about what happened over the years. They were eleven brothers who supported each other at the beginning, but how many relatives have died over the years, not only their brothers, but also their descendants, more than a dozen of them.
This is all the suffering of casual cultivators.
"Fifty years ago, we settled in Gongming City. It was my eldest brother who had extraordinary vision. He paid fifty years of rent in one lump sum, which made our annual rent as cheap as one hundred Xuanjing. Later, Gongming City expanded, and we
Taking the initiative to come to the new city, not only the lease was extended for five years, but the residence was also twice the size, able to accommodate so many of us, which reduced a lot of our expenses.
In the past few years, the eldest nephew was even more powerful. Not only did he become a minor steward in Qingfeng Pavilion, but he also saw that Gongming City was bound to become more prosperous. He spent all his savings and rented a large number of courtyards on a long-term basis.
Reduce the cost and rent it out to outside casual cultivators, earning several times the profit.
Now that we have money, we naturally need a spiritual mountain to recuperate and grow in power. Brother, whatever you say, we will listen to you."
"No, I'm already old, I'd better listen to my son."
The eldest brother coughed, his eldest son, his cultivation is not that good, and his fighting ability is not that good, but his brain is very flexible, and all important things have been entrusted to him these years.
Then, a middle-aged man walked in. He had been listening outside the door, so he said directly, "Father, several uncles, I have already calculated our financial resources. After so many years of accumulation, our five families plus
The other uncle's descendants have 110,000 working capital alone. If we use the money we spent to rent the courtyard, 200,000 Xuanjing will not be a problem. We can spend 100,000 Xuanjing to buy a second-level mid-level Lingshan.
Spend another 50,000 Xuanjing to buy 50,000 mortals, and keep the rest for later use."
"Eldest nephew, why don't you buy a second-grade high-grade Lingshan?"
"Uncle Liu, bigger is not better in Lingshan. To have Lingshan, there must be Lingtian, a mountain-protecting formation, and a lot of expenses. There must be a certain amount of spare funds."
"What my eldest nephew said seems to make sense, so I'll just listen to you."
"Well, Sixth Uncle, from now on we will directly establish a small sect. You uncles are all elders, and we juniors are all disciples. There are 50,000 mortals, and at least a few monks will be born every year. It won't take many years for us to be prosperous.
stand up"
"My eldest brother will be the leader, and we will be the elders. But what's the point of being a disciple? No, you have to be an elder."
"Sixth Uncle, I won't be the elder. I can't throw away the job of Qingfeng Pavilion. There are huge benefits in it. In the future, the sect will produce something. If it doesn't matter, where can I sell it? Not to mention that I can get thousands of dollars a year now.
Xuan Jing’s monthly salary and rewards, as well as the early development of the sect, are indispensable for my support.”
"That's right. Not only does my son have to stay, but our property in Gongming City cannot be thrown away. I have heard about the family history of head Lin Xiao. The early stage of the sect is the most difficult, and we must also have a way out.
If we can’t stand in Baiyan Prefecture in the future, we can still come back.”
"Father is right. This is also my consideration. Just by working for others in Gongming City, we brothers can earn four to five thousand Xuanjing a year. This is a huge source of wealth, and Gongming City also has to
I have already thought about it becoming our fallback path. As long as our uncles establish themselves in Baiyan State and we accumulate Xuanjing for a few more years, we can open a small shop in the city and do business on our own.
My father and uncle have many connections among the casual cultivators in Gongming City. They have been friends for decades. If you know their background, you can find some honest and reliable people who can cooperate with them. From now on, the monsters they hunt in the wilderness will be gone.
Sell it to us, and we can make a profit by reselling it. With this two-pronged approach, we won’t be afraid of any major disasters.”
"Well said, this is the only way to be safe. My son, have you seen the Lingshan Mountain that Tianyun State is selling? There are good and bad Lingshan Mountains. Don't buy a bad one and waste the Xuan Jing."
"Father, don't worry. I have already seen it and asked my friends to see it. Father, please take a look. What I am interested in is this Lingshan Mountain, located in Baiyan Prefecture..."
The middle-aged man took out a map, pointed out the location of Lingshan Mountain, explained the advantages of the location, and told them the general topography of Lingshan Mountain, which was conducive to planting certain elixirs, etc. The five people were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to the middle-aged man.
The men also fell in love with her more and more. They couldn't handle such a difficult thing.
