Lin Xiao came back to take charge of the sect, and Nan Xuan seemed to have a backbone, and even the Lingguang monks could be mobilized at will, so the Great Wu Kingdom plan was quickly implemented.
Not long after, the envoys from Lu State arrived at Tiansheng Sect, that is, Li Changqing and his party. It had been almost a hundred years since Li Changqing broke through the aura, and his cultivation had reached the third level of aura. His cultivation was not too fast, mainly because he had focused his energy on
Unify the Lu Kingdom.
The Lu family of the Lu State was a territorial tiger and had ruled the Lu State for more than a thousand years. The Li family was previously a vassal of the Lu family, so it was still very difficult to rule the Lu State, especially since Lin Xiao did not want to destroy the Lu State.
That would be even more difficult, but Li Changqing was quite talented and still managed it.
When I saw Li Changqing again, he had grown a long beard, and he looked mature and stable, with an old-school style, but the sparkle in his eyes showed that he was still smart and capable.
"Li Changqing has met Master Lin"
"Changqing doesn't need to be polite. When someone comes, sit down and give them tea."
"Thank you, Master Lin"
"Changqing, we are already acquaintances. There is no need to be so polite. I promised you before that even if the Lu State is incorporated into the Wu State, I will not favor one over the other. From now on, the Li family's status in the Wu State will be equal to that of the Danyang Sect. Li
The Li family is still one of the most important sons of the Wu Kingdom. Whatever benefits the Danyang Sect will have in the future, the Li family will still have them."
"Thank you very much, Master Lin. Master Lin, Changqing also has a kind invitation."
"Chang Qing, you don't have to be polite, you can say whatever you want."
"In these years, Changqing has unified Lu State and has not been cruel to Chunyang Palace. I have promised many things to Chunyang Palace. If Lu State is merged into Wu State, Chunyang Palace must also have a share of the benefits, but this will not affect Chunyang Palace."
The previous agreement is not in compliance, so Changqing has decided to merge the Li family into Chunyang Palace and only get one share of the benefits. I don’t know if it is feasible."
Li Changqing said with some anxiety. After all, this was a bit taboo. There was still a difference between family and sect. In terms of development speed and ability, sect was stronger than the family, so this move was boring.
"Changqing is affectionate and righteous, and he keeps his word. It doesn't matter. Then there will be no Li family, only Chunyang Palace, how about that?"
"Thank you very much, Master Lin. Master Lin is magnanimous and magnanimous, which is typical of our generation."
Lin Xiao agreed. Although Chunyang Palace would be a potential threat, it was still nothing to Wu Guo because the Lingming Pill was controlled by the Tiansheng Sect.
Lin Xiao has finally understood the intention of those large sects to monopolize Lingming Pills. As long as the key strategic resources are in hand, he is not afraid of these sects turning upside down. It is also easy to sanction these sects and prevent them from getting Lingming Pills.
Dan will do.
The next step is the specific negotiation between Nan Xuan and Li Changqing. In addition to respecting the orders of Tianshengzong, Lu Guo must take out the interests of Yujing City. If there is no benefit at all, why should Wu Guo accept Lu Guo?
, and then some of the obligations and responsibilities of Lu Guo, such as jointly fighting against the enemy, are explained one by one, and then the terms are written down, which are to be announced to the world.
The negotiation didn't last long, that is, it was completed in a few days. Then it was announced to the world, which shocked the countries in the southwestern tip of Nanzhou. The Lu Kingdom, which had been inherited for nearly two thousand years, just disappeared.
Of course, the most shocked person was Cang Guo, but Cang Guo was even worse because he didn't even have a spiritual monk, so his confidence in negotiations was reduced a lot.
Nan Xuan also began to plan for the Cang Kingdom. Bai Ziyu led the team and went to the Cang Kingdom in person. This time he issued an ultimatum. Within a year, all the sects in the Cang Kingdom unified their opinions and joined the Wu Kingdom. Back then, Lin Xiao promised Wu Muyang not to
It would be easy to annex the Cang Kingdom, but later Wu Muyang took the initiative to request to be merged into the Wu Kingdom.
So this time the Wu Kingdom will still not use force easily, but as the overlord of the Cang Kingdom, the Tian Cang Faction must take action. The stronger their ability, the higher their weight in the Wu Kingdom, otherwise they will join the Wu Kingdom in the future.
country, its status will also become very low.
Lin Xiao was not involved in the specific planning. He went to inspect the area near Qiaotou Mountain. After decades of development, there were already seven to eight million mortals living near Qiaotou Mountain. The number of mortals directly under the jurisdiction of the Tiansheng Sect alone was three million.
Daling Mountain has also been fully developed, and there is no need for blood transfusions in the Wu Kingdom. Its own production is enough to support the occupation of various sects, and the development direction is westward, starting with the barbaric buffer zone facing the Cang Kingdom.
"Master, this is currently the frontline of the Wu Kingdom. Counting the casual cultivators, there are almost hundreds of thousands of cultivators operating in this area for thousands of miles. This has been going on for several years. The spiritual mountains occupied by monsters have been breached one after another, and they are constantly being attacked.
The army of monsters is bleeding."
Jia Mengran pointed to a spiritual mountain and said to Lin Xiao that although Yu Jiaolong took action last time and prevented Wu State from annexing the purple-eyed demon king's territory, Wu State's actions did not stop completely.
The Wu Kingdom launched a large-scale attack on the barbaric buffer zone facing the Cang Kingdom. After decades of strangulation, hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts had been killed in this buffer zone, to the point where the demonic beasts were so frightened that they did not dare to send demons unless it was a last resort.
The beast comes.
On the other hand, they actively penetrated into the depths of the wilderness, and monsters with great potential were killed by the monks of the Wu Kingdom. Especially when the elk monster became a traitor, every time the purple-eyed monster king wanted to
He was dissuaded by the Elk Demon from retaliating. Even if he was not dissuaded, he could still report it in time, which allowed Wu State's power to shrink rapidly and reduce great losses.
"How long will it take for the buffer zone facing Cangguo to be taken down?"
"If Master needs it, he can get it in half a month. The reason why we didn't take action is because we deliberately bled the monsters. Among the monsters, there are many races with extremely strong reproductive capabilities. It only takes more than ten years to
The number can be multiplied several times, which is what the purple-eyed demon king is worried about. After all, if the number is large, there will always be one or two talented guys who can advance quickly, so the two parties seem to have a tacit understanding. They deliberately sent the demon beasts to die.
And we are constantly hunting monsters and obtaining materials.”
"It is easy to send people to occupy Lingshan, but it seems to be more difficult to immigrate. It is a primitive style and it is extremely difficult to transform it."
"This is true. It has been over a hundred years since Qiaotoushan was developed, but now the survival rate of mortals is still not high. The losses caused by death from illness, accidents, etc. every year are extremely high. A thousand children can grow up to be adults.
The maximum number of people there is less than 600. A few decades ago, it was less than 400. Millions of prisoners died before the result today. But now, the public security in the realm of Wu Kingdom is good, and there are no prisoners left."
Jia Mengran shook his head and said, over the past few decades, the Wu Kingdom has migrated millions of mortal prisoners, including some very minor crimes, and the casualties of these immigrant prisoners were so heavy that the mortals in the Wu Kingdom did not dare to commit crimes at all, and the public security has never been better.
, it will be difficult to obtain prisoners next.
"It's okay. The new members of Cang and Lu have to follow the rules of Wu. When the time comes, the mortal management system will be integrated. We will get their prisoners over first."
"If the two countries can provide one or two million mortals, then this place can be developed within a few decades."
"Well, in this way, the Great Wu Kingdom plan is considered a success. The entire Wu Kingdom is more than 16,000 miles long from north to south and more than 20,000 miles long from east to west. Its territory is second only to the Song Kingdom."
Lin Xiao nodded. The Dawu Kingdom plan covered the three kingdoms of Cang, Chen, and Lu. Plus the three thousand-mile buffer zone between the two countries, the territory was very large, although it was not as big as the two giants Qi and Qin.
Hegemony, but it is almost the same as other medium-sized countries. The Song State is also extremely limited compared to the Wu State.
"However, the level of development of Lingshan in the Song Kingdom is much better than ours. Apart from our Tiansheng Sect, the Wu Kingdom has few fifth-level Lingshan and none of the sixth-level."
"Let's develop slowly. The next step of Dawu Kingdom's plan is to develop the domestic spiritual mountains as much as possible. In addition, the roads for mortals must be widened and built, and connected by traffic arteries. This will not only benefit the lives of mortals, but also allow the purple
The monks below the government should speed up communication, and now it’s time to practice internal skills."
"This kind of thing needs to be taken care of by Nan Shou. I can't take care of that much."
"The next step of the sect will be to improve the spiritual veins as soon as possible. Then you can go back and cultivate for a while. Your senior sister and I are not in Wu Kingdom all the year round. Wu Kingdom must have people who can take charge of themselves and can control it."
"Master, it's not my turn. Ye Nanyu, Bai Xixi, and Bai Zichen are all the first batch to advance to the aura. How many years have it taken me to break through?"
"Next step I will transfer you to Qinglian Hall"
"Incorruptible Hall?"
"Yes, it is the Qinglian Hall. In the past few years, your senior sister and I have been in Central Continent and have seen many aspects of the society in Central Continent. The descendants of monks from various sects, including good ones, bad ones, dandies, and elites. I hope that there will be more people in the Kingdom of Wu.
Produce some elites, few
Some dudes have appeared, and now most of the Daogang monks in the sect have begun to enter old age, and many have begun to raise children. The number of second and third generations in the Wu Kingdom has also begun to increase. I don’t worry about others taking charge of the Qinglian Hall. It must be me.
"people"
Lin Xiao replied, Lin Xiao has been in charge of Tiansheng Sect for more than 400 years. The oldest Li Mingyang is already over 400 years old, and those younger than him are about 400 years old. These people have no hope of breaking through the spiritual light stage.
Because there are only so many Lingming Pills, according to the rules of Tiansheng Sect, they cannot compete with the young people.
Then most of them will accept their fate, get married, have children, and raise offspring. The offspring of these people are different from ordinary disciples. Their fathers have more energy and higher status, so they are prone to dandyism. Some monks have children when they are older, and their mentality is also different.
will change.
Therefore, the establishment of the Qinglian Hall has become even more important. People without strong identity and background will not be able to preside over this overall situation. Although there are people like Bai Zichen and Bai Ziyu in the sect who can be used, they still have families behind them.
, the best one is Jia Mengran. Firstly, he has a strong background and is Lin Xiao’s direct disciple. Secondly, he has no family ties.
"Master, I understand. I will do a good job in the Qinglian Church and will never let the rules of the Tiansheng Sect be trampled on."
"Well, I believe in you. Do your work well and don't worry about resources. Your senior sister and I will never forget you."
Lin Xiao nodded. Yu Tianxiang is an alchemist and is rich, so there is no need to worry. The training resources of Yuan Ruoyun and Jia Mengran are nothing to Lin Xiao and Li Muxue. A little bit of exposure between their fingers is enough for them to enjoy.
