The Annan Kingdom in Nanzhou and the entire Annan Kingdom belong to Ziyun Temple, but with the current strength of Ziyun Temple, they are simply unable to develop and utilize the entire Annan Kingdom.
Ziyun Temple has only developed the territory of the original Sheng'an Gate. There are more than a dozen Lingshan Mountains, and the range of control is only more than a thousand miles. This range is already the limit of Ziyun Temple's control. Their monks and mortals are all
Not much, and the area of the original Tiannan Sect was affected by the demonic chaos and has not been very suitable for mortal life for hundreds of years. Ziyun Temple does not have the energy to expel those demonic energies, but regularly sends people to clean up those that may be
Demonized creature.
In addition, in the southern part of Annan Kingdom, close to the frontline of the wilderness, there are more than ten Lingshan Mountains where people are stationed. They were developed by the Southern Continent Alliance army. Annan Kingdom levies a symbolic amount of money every year to allow them to live there.
Since Sun Xuanyi became the chief elder of Ziyun Temple, he has been far away from the center of gravity of the Southern Continent Alliance, and all his work is in Ziyun Temple.
At this time, when the spiritual valley was being harvested, Sun Xuanyi came to inspect with several senior sects. However, the top management of Ziyun Temple are now only Dao Gang and spiritual light stage monks, and the real high-level monks are all serving in the alliance.
Pay back the war debt owed.
"Grandpa Sun"
"Grandpa Sun"
Arriving at the edge of the spiritual field, some low-level deacons came to say hello one after another, hoping to show their faces in front of Sun Xuanyi so that he could be reused.
"I think it's going to rain in the next few days. How about the harvest of Linggu?"
"Back to Ancestor Sun, less than 20% of the 200,000 acres of spiritual fields for planting spiritual grains are left. It can be harvested in three days at most."
"Three days are almost over. These mortals are young and strong. You must treat them kindly and never criticize them harshly. Do you understand?"
Sun Xuanyi nodded, three days is almost enough. In order to make up for the lack of labor force, they have mobilized many young and strong mortals. Sun Xuanyi told the monks not to criticize the mortals harshly. After all, no matter how capable the mortals are, they cannot compare to the monks.
Sun Xuanyi took the senior officials to the fields and inspected the harvested spiritual grains. He was very satisfied, and then he went to inspect the planted elixirs.
The foundation of Ziyun Temple is not bad, and there is also a complete spiritual planter inheritance in the sect, so a lot of spiritual fields have been designated to grow elixirs. It has been more than a year now, and low-level elixirs can often be produced in a few years.
Once mature, a batch can be harvested in another year or two.
"Everyone, I just calculated our spiritual grain production. According to the current stock, it is enough for us to consume for two years. So next year, we can reduce the planting of spiritual grain and increase the amount of spiritual medicine.
According to the news from the ancestors, the war in the world of immortality has not ended so soon. The consumption of elixirs is still very large, the prices have been rising, and the profits of Linggu are really too low."
"Elder Sun, to what extent do you think it would be better to expand?"
"All of the 200,000 acres of first- and second-level spiritual fields currently developed are used to grow elixirs."
"Ah, everything. What will happen in two years? Although the price of spiritual grain is low, the consumption is too high. By then, everything will have to be outsourced. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the sect's financial resources."
"Don't worry, I have my own plan. Before, our Ziyun Temple had just arrived and had an unstable foundation, so we wasted so many Lingshan Mountains without developing them. So I decided to recruit casual cultivators to develop Lingshan Mountains and rent out all the Lingshan Mountains in Annan Kingdom. If it is for planting
For Linggu, we can provide tools and seeds. The land rent is one hundred and fifty kilograms of Linggu per acre. If you are growing elixirs or the like, it will be calculated based on the specific lease, such as three years, five years, etc.
We will discuss the details at that time.
I have met a lot of casual cultivators in Nanzhou, and few of them are capable of cultivating spiritual grains. The majority of them are cultivators of spiritual grains, so we don’t have to worry about not having enough spiritual grains to eat.”
Sun Xuanyi replied that they arrived in Annan Kingdom last year. When they first arrived, they naturally did not dare to recruit too many casual cultivators. But now that more than a year has passed, the situation has become familiar, and Sun Xuanyi feels that they can no longer play it safe.
, we must make strides forward.
Rent out all the land outside the control of Ziyunguan. Ziyunguan only needs to be responsible for the rules and safety of these places, while he grows elixirs with higher added value, such as spiritual rice, and collects rents.
Only in this way can they quickly accumulate financial resources and increase their strength.
Sun Xuanyi is the ancestor in charge. Naturally, the other senior officials cannot object to what he says. At this time, Lin Sen attaches great importance to Sun Xuanyi.
At the same time, the Wusun Kingdom is similar to the Annan Kingdom, but the number of monks in Wusun Kingdom is still higher. Only mortals are too few, which makes it extremely difficult to replenish the monks of the Wusun Kingdom, and they have to spend a lot of money.
At a high price, go to Tianyong City to exchange your military exploits for those children whose spiritual roots have been detected in Borderlands.
But even so, their number is still too small. Most of the Lingshan Mountains have been rented out for the five million casual cultivators recruited by the alliance. The Wusun Kingdom now still relies on the alliance to suppress these casual cultivators.
Otherwise, there might be cases where doves take over the magpie's nest.
Yuan Ruoyun and Jia Mengran were guarding Wusun Kingdom's Netherworld Cave. They came here after Yu Tianxiang went to Nanzhou Factory. In fact, their injuries were healed, but they couldn't sit still and didn't want to be among the sect.
I was criticized by others, so I applied to sit in the Netherworld Cave and refine the Nine Nether True Water at the same time.
Jiuyou True Water is the most widely used in alchemy, but it can also be used in refining weapons, especially in the last step of extraction of high-end magic weapons. Jiuyou True Water can improve the quality of magic weapons, so Jiuyou True Water has always been extremely popular.
However, it is very difficult to refine the Nine Nether True Water. A monk in the spiritual light stage can only refine five kilograms a year. Otherwise, he will be harmed by the yin energy and will regret it for life. To really not be afraid of the yin energy here, you still need to be at the golden body level or above and temper it.
After refining the skin mask, you can completely block the Yin Qi.
Jia Mengran and Yuan Ruoyun were injured, and their refining abilities were much worse than those in the ordinary Shenxu stage, so they took turns to discuss. However, Jia Mengran found that Yuan Ruoyun was very desperate, regardless of physical injuries, and often secretly refined Jiuyou.
Real water.
This made Jia Mengran extremely worried. After several attempts to persuade him, Yuan Ruoyun remained unmoved and continued to go his own way. Jia Mengran also wrote to Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao's energy was all on the alliance and he was unable to deal with it.
Jia Mengran has already discovered that Yuan Ruoyun's temperament changed drastically after returning from the wilderness exchange for prisoners. This cast a shadow on Jia Mengran's heart. Jia Mengran wanted to know what happened. The three of them were detained separately at the beginning, and Jia Mengran didn't know.
What happened.
······
The Central Continent Shenmu Sect is extremely embarrassed at this time. Although the territory has been recovered, the vassal forces are no longer the original vassal forces. Almost all of them have been replaced by Lin Xiao. Many of them are small groups established by casual cultivators.
A clan or a small family.
What makes them even more uncomfortable is that these small sects and small families still have to repay the debts they owe for buying land. Although the Shenmu Sect can also collect part of the debt, it always feels like working for others.
Moreover, Lin Xiao also made many rules before leaving, just to protect these small forces. Basically, they should not think about changing them within a hundred or two hundred years. With these rules in place, Shenmu Sect will not even think about exploiting them.
In addition, what makes Shenmu Sect even more disgusting is the existence of Lingmu City. Lin Xiao originally thought about returning Lingmu City to Shenmu Sect. Of course, it needs to be redeemed, but Shenmu Sect has no money and cannot afford it, so the Southern Continent Alliance
He has always occupied Lingmu City and managed it himself.
After the Nanzhou army withdrew, Shenmu Sect also lifted the order to block the mountain gate, and the disciples came out again. Then they found that Shenmu City had been completely destroyed and was not suitable for rebuilding a large city at all. The cost of restoring it was more than building another one.
It's expensive, and the Shenmu Sect no longer has the financial resources to build cities.
This means that on the territory of the Shenmu Sect, he does not have a direct immortal cultivation city. All the income from the city effect has poured into Lingmu City and entered the pockets of the Nanzhou monks. This makes the Shenmu Sect extremely disgusting.
, in the entire world of cultivating immortals, they are probably the only ones who are like them.
Originally, the Shenmu Sect had thought of taking advantage of the invasion of Nanzhou monsters to recapture Lingmu City by force, but unexpectedly Lin Xiao persuaded Mu Wanqiu. Not only could they not take action, but they also sent troops to help Nanzhou in the fight. It was like asking the Shenmu Sect monks to
He was so angry that he vomited blood.
In Lingmu City, several high-level officials are discussing matters. There are very few people in Nanzhou staying in Lingmu City. Originally, there were tens of thousands of city guards and thousands of managers. However, as the situation in Nanzhou became tense, the number of people in Lingmu City continued to increase.
Currently, there are only more than 1,000 managers and 5,000 city guards. The remaining parts are all recruited casual cultivators. However, the top management is still held by Nanzhou monks. The one with the highest cultivation level is an ancestor from the Shenxu period who came from Qi State.
Zhuang Bieke of Baishan Sect serves as the commander of the city guards.
"You have all read the letter from the leader of Nanzhou Lin. Now the situation in Nanzhou has stabilized, but there is some wavering among the monks in Nanzhou. The reason is that more than ten years of war have caused the monks' cultivation to stagnate.
If they don't move forward, many people are afraid of missing the path.
Now, Alliance Leader Lin wants to improve the cultivation level of the monks, especially the advanced elixirs required by the monks above the Zi Mansion. There is a very lack of them, which puts Nanzhou in an extremely difficult situation, so we, Lingmu City, need to contribute."
"Ancestor Zhuang, we have read the letter, but we are still in a dilemma. Although Lingmu City's income is not low, high-end resources are still difficult to obtain. Every sect is in urgent need of them, and the competition is very fierce."
"Yes, all the sects in Central Continent are recovering and developing. Although some sects are not operating well and want to sell high-level spiritual objects, the competition is still too great. We may not be able to win against them."
"We have to fight even if we can't win. Alliance Leader Lin has entrusted us with a heavy task. We must complete this task. According to Alliance Leader Lin's order, starting from this year, we can withhold half of our income, which is enough to have hundreds of millions of Xuanjing, which we can use to purchase high-end products."
level spiritual beings, so we must find a way."
"Old Ancestor Zhuang, what suggestions do you have?"
"Lingmu City must make its own voice. We can allocate a special amount of funds to investigate those poorly managed forces, and then find ways to buy their high-level spiritual objects. In addition, we can also..."
Zhuang Bieke said what he had been thinking about for a long time. The merits of sitting in Lingmu City were incomparable with fighting on the battlefield. Zhuang Bieke also wanted to make a great contribution at this time, and he had to do this well.
