The Xianwu Continent is vast and vast.
People and forces, whether strong or weak, are just a speck of dust.
How many families and sects, large and small, have been submerged in the torrent of history.
Looking at the entire Yan Kingdom, the destruction of the Liu family did not create the slightest ripples.
Even the small area around Qingyang in the northwest was only shaken for a moment, and then quickly faded out of people's sight and rumors.
But for the involved parties and stakeholders, there is a lot of work to be dealt with in the aftermath.
The direct descendants of the Liu family who were cultivators were wiped out, and there were still tens of thousands of mortal clan members. The Yang family was responsible for killing those who were killed, and those who escaped far away.
The Yang family, with the help of the Baiye Zhou family, slowly took over Wangxi City, a base that the Liu family had operated for a century.
Of the sixty-six shops in Wangfang City, the Liu family occupies 24, the Yang family only takes half, the Peng family three, and the Ding family one. The rest is returned to Fang City to be distributed to various forces for election, in order to block Youyou. Everyone said; among them, twelve rooms obtained by the Yang family were divided into one room by the Zhong family...
Of the 100 shops in Qingyangfang City, the Yang family of the Qingyang clan exclusively owns 20. Four of them were replaced with the Zhongfu that originally belonged to the Liu family. Half of the remaining shops were transferred to Wangxi, and the other half were equally divided between the Peng family and the Five Elements Sect. .
The Liu family's business in Yangquan, Shunyi, Heishui and other places was divided among the four families of Yang, Zhong, Peng and Ding.
As compensation, the Five Elements Sect received thousands of acres of the Liu family's spiritual land, a 10% increase in tax tribute promised by the Peng family, and a small copper concentrate mine panned by the Baiye Zhou family.
The interest relationships were complicated, and it was not until half a year later that things were straightened out and returned to normal, and everyone was happy.
As for Zhong Mansion, there are five shops in Qingyangfang City, all of which originally belonged to the Yang family.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Yang family and the Peng family had the most to gain from the destruction of the Liu family, with the Ding family and the Zhong family helping.
When many forces speculated on the whereabouts of the Liu family's spiritual veins, Yang Yanqing had handed over the 'hill-shaped' second-grade low-grade spiritual veins to Zhong Yan and planted them in the deep courtyard of Cangbao Street.
Establishing a clan has the benefits of establishing a clan.
But Zhong Yan had no such plan, and returned to a low profile and developed secretly.
July is full of fire and the sun is high.
Cangbao Street, Zhongfu.
In the training room.
Zhong Yanchang took a breath and glanced at the system panel.
[Name: Zhong Yan]
【Shouyuan: 53/236】
[Spiritual Root: Five Elements (Perfect), Dark (Perfect)]
[Bloodline constitution: Dark Phoenix Spirit Body 1% (4680/1w), Void Body 1% (769/1w)]
[Divine consciousness: 769 (523/1000)]
[Realm: fifth level of foundation building (2620w/2900w), first level of body refining (1.8w/10w)]
[Exercise methods: "Great Sun Treasure Sutra" (Intermediate 3.8w/5w), "Kong Ming Sutra" (1.1w/5w)...]
[Spells: Great Void Technique (Perfection 2.9w/100w), Fengtian Jiuzhan (Perfection 2.1w/100w)...]
[Occupations: Puppet (intermediate 1253/10w), formation (second-level low-grade 2023/5w), spirit detection (elementary 2380/1w)...]
[Binding: Taoist companion Yuan Ziyi (36/290), Taoist companion Yu Qingyao (40/212), Taoist companion Jiang Huan (26/259), wife Jiang Ping (31/66), concubine Yan Sandao (30/ 89)】
Zhong Yan relied on his perfect spiritual roots to break through to the fifth level of foundation building, and his experience also increased sharply, reaching the sixth level.
It is worth mentioning that since using the dual cultivation method "Hehuan Gong" that Pei Nanjin obtained from Wei State, not only have both men and women become more physically and mentally happy, but the reward experience has also been greatly improved.
For example, the physical bonuses of Jiang Huan and Wei Cen have both increased tenfold, with the former going from +10 to +100, and the latter being unbound, also rising from +1 to +10.
So wonderful.
After looking at the panel and feeling secretly happy for a while, Zhong Yan left the training room and walked around the house.
Yuan Ziyi focuses on sculpting formations, Yu Qingyao refining medicine, Ye Weiwei refining alchemy...each has his own busy schedule.
There are ten courtyards and numerous attic courtyards.
Many children are studying, practicing martial arts, and playing. The tribe has begun to take shape, with nearly forty people.
In addition to the direct descendants, there are also adopted boys and girls. The eldest Zhong Qixing is fourteen years old, and the younger one is more than half a year old lying on the grass.
Zhong Yan felt relieved and showed up towards the pavilion.
"master!"
"Husband!"
Everyone saluted.
Ding Wanjun, Su Yunxi, Wei Yu, and Xu Caixuan all had big bellies.
"No need to be polite."
Zhong Yan stepped forward, pulled this little hand, rubbed that cheek, and then checked their pulse and body one by one.
Wei Yu and Xu Caixuan are new concubines who have entered the mansion. They are charming and beautiful. They have good three-lingen qualifications and have already reached the late stage of Qi refining before entering the mansion.
Su Yunxi is the most prolific, and she can get pregnant almost every time after being favored. Now she is the fourth, maybe because her own qualifications are a bit inferior. The previous three only produced one three-spiritual root and two mortal roots.
"Are you still used to it? If you have any needs, just ask."
Zhong Yan took Ding Wanjun's white and tender hand and asked, she became pregnant not long after the wedding night.
"I'm fine, thank you husband for your concern."
Ding Wanjun smiled softly and her voice was as soft as the sound of nature.
Zhong Yan sighed from time to time, this beauty perfectly fit his imagination of the kind of wife who was a 'lady in ancient times, the one who supported her husband and raised her children'. She was gentle, dignified, well-educated, and pure-hearted...
Originally, Zhong Yan suspected that the Ding family would put some effort into her, which was inevitable.
However, in the few moments of joy, the experience rewards displayed on the system panel continued to rise, catching up with the other concubines who entered the house first.
This is also an important reason why Zhong Yan dotes on her psychologically, in addition to her own liking for Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan once thought about it, for Ding Wanjun, she and she were the right match, they were married to each other, and they met her for the first time and fell in love with her.
A few days later.
The family members in the mansion gathered together happily, and the family banquet was changed from once every seven days to once a month.
Afterwards, all persons with responsibilities, including mortal concubines, guardian retainers, and guest ministers, gathered in the meeting hall of the First Level Courtyard.
If you want to completely control Qingyang with many forces surrounding you, what the Zhong Mansion is currently doing is far from enough.
In order to deal with the nationwide chaos that is coming at an unknown time, we have to take precautions and make many preparations.
"He Jinyan and Ding Zhan led fifty war hall warriors to Liusha Island to open up wasteland..."
Yao Huilan came back from the message and had initially established a foothold on Liusha Island. However, there were many sea beasts and they often attacked, and more than ten people had been lost. More importantly, a hematite mine was discovered there, which needed to be mined manually.
He Jinyan is a first-level array mage. He brings semi-finished materials with array patterns engraved on them to build defensive arrays.
"Mu Qiu of the martial arts school can be alone. Zhong Muxi will come back and be responsible for the security of the house together with Qin Ziyue..."
"Fellow Daoist Feng is stationed in Wangfang City..."
Feng Xiaonan has been in the government for many years and is a regular guest of the Zhong Mansion. She has a stronger sense of belonging and is suitable for overseas assignment. Currently, the eighth level of Qi Refining is enough to take care of a shop.
"Qingyangfang City, Gu Baiyu is in charge, Wen Yongshan, Liu Daoyou, Chen Daoyou, Qi Daoyou, Zhang Daoyou are each in charge of one..."
The four newcomers have yet to be investigated, so it would be more appropriate to keep them under the radar and supervise them.
"Zhou Yunning goes to Fuyang Town..."
Fuyang Town is a small town under the jurisdiction of Qingyang. Now it is quite prosperous under the management of the Zhong Mansion. It has recruited refugees and refugees and expanded it to more than 50,000 people. It has cultivated fertile land to plant various crops, and Li Shangwu cooperated to build a town there. A granary base that stores a large amount of supplies.
"Xu Ce goes to Udon City..."
Udon City is a small town with a population of nearly 200,000, and it is also affiliated with Qingyang. In Udong Town, there is a famous underground black market in Qingyang area, with many three religions and nine streams.
"Tang Xiaoshu goes to Sangtian Town..."
"Zhizhu goes to Liuhe City..."
"..."
With Qingyang as the center and radiating to the east and south, Zhong Yan selected twelve towns and sent a warrior and a monk to go there, supplemented by shadow guards and death guards to secretly manage and control them.
To the north is the Weihe River and the sea. In the future, Chongming Islands will be reclaimed based on Liusha Island.
To the west is the Kingdom of Wei. The nearest city is 'Minglan City', which has been captured and managed by a new city lord sent by the Yan Kingdom's court.
Zhong Yan asked two concubines, Ye Weiwei and Wan Qiwen, and a guest to go and develop the residence.
An hour-long adjustment arrangement.
At the end, Zhong Yan looked around and said, "Today's discussion is a top secret of the Zhong clan. If there is any leakage, no matter who it is, we will kill without mercy!"
"yes!"
Everyone dispersed and went about their business.
Zhong Yan, Yu Qingyao and Gu Baiyu went to a side hall.
Two men and five women, seven monks who were chatting in low voices, clasped their hands and clasped their fists with respect on their faces, calling them different names: "Friend Zhong", "Senior Zhong", and "Master Zhong".
Zhong Yan glanced at the seven people with a smile. The highest was the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the lowest was the fourth level. The man was as handsome as jade, and the woman was as beautiful as a jade.
These people were carefully selected by Yu Qingyao and Gu Baiyu. They have average qualifications, but are determined and long for immortality.
"Since you are here, it means that you have thought clearly and made a decision."
"As the saying goes, wealth is gained in danger. As long as you sincerely do your best to serve my Zhong Mansion, Zhong will not only not treat you badly, but also give you rewards beyond your imagination..."
"Not much to say, I have only one request, mission first."
"Regarding the tasks assigned and the required information, no matter what means you use, whether it is selling your body for sex or selling your soul and losing yourself, you must complete it..."
"From now on, you will only have single-line contact with Gu Baiyu. If you need any support, please feel free to ask."
With that said, Zhong Yan waved his hand, and the seven bags flew towards everyone.
"There is also a salary of fifty spiritual stones every year."
Three hundred spiritual stones and ten bottles of elixirs were given at once, plus a foundation-building elixir that many casual cultivators dreamed of! Two lines!
The seven people took the bag and examined it carefully. They couldn't help but breathe quickly and looked at each other. Then they all clasped their fists and said sternly: "It turned out to be Zhongfu's life and death!"
Money can make the world go round, and this is clearly demonstrated at this moment.
As long as you give enough money, you can buy anything.
"No objection, just sign the contract."
There are thousands of contracts in the world, and there is one that is suitable to prevent the other party from rebelling.
The seven people signed contracts with Gu Baiyu one by one, received the lurking mission, and left at night.
Arrangements like this are just the tip of the iceberg made by Zhong Yan.
