The huge market near the Yuchi family's land is called Yuchifang. The name is very loud, which can better demonstrate the status of the Yuchi family.
Accompanied by Yuchi Lingjie, Ximen Changqing made a selection in Yuchifang and identified twenty shops.
In order to express his gratitude, Yuchi Lingjie took it upon himself to give Ximen Changqing an additional heaven-level cave house, which was also rent-free for fifty years.
The Tianjie Cave in Yuchifang has never been rented out. It is idle anyway, so it is better to use it to repay the favor.
Ximen Changqing took out the Millennium Netherworld Grass in front of everyone, and many monks saw it. This matter could not be hidden.
If the Yuchi family cannot give Ximen Changqing enough benefits, it will affect their family's reputation, and they cannot go back on their promises with a heavy reward.
Even if Ximen Changqing doesn't want anything, people will say that the Yuchi family deliberately refuses to give him anything, and the huge reward is a lie.
"Friend Daoist Li, twenty shops and a heavenly cave are all handed over to you."
Yuchi Lingjie quickly completed the handover and handed over the shop and cave to Ximen Changqing.
"Good work."
Ximen Changqing took over the shop and the cave, and after sending Yuchi Lingjie away, he took out his spiritual weapon and sent a message to Ximen Rende, asking the family to mobilize the clan members.
With the Yuchi family's promise, it would be enough for the family to send people from the Ji-building clan, and no one would bother the Ximen family's shop.
Only by being able to stably open a shop in Yuchifang can you continuously earn spiritual stones, which is much more affordable than getting a big reward all at once.
Ximen Changqing's vision is undoubtedly long-term. If he gets a heavy reward from the Yuchi family, then everything will be settled. Only by getting shops and care can he continue to gain benefits.
In addition, the Yuchi family also benefited from not having to pay too much at once. There was already surplus in the shops and Tianjie Cave, so they were idle.
As for taking care of the Ximen family, it is a piece of cake. For them, in their core territory, no one will cause trouble to the Ximen family store with just a casual word.
Half a month later, Ximen Rende arrived in Yuchifang in person and brought a large number of resources for cultivating immortals, including ten members of the Jiji clan.
"Chang Qing, Yuchifang is too far away, and the speed of the Foundation Establishment Clan is too slow. In the future, I will have to personally replenish the resources for cultivating immortals."
When Ximen Rende came here this time, he put all ten clan members into the Pearl Cave. Only in this way could they reach Yuchifang within half a month. Otherwise, they would not be able to arrive in a month.
"For the time being, I can only work hard for Grandpa. In the future, the Ximen family will build more teleportation arrays all over the Eastern Territory, and even build teleportation arrays to all places in the mortal world."
Ximen Changqing said.
He still has a set of resources to build a teleportation array, but he does not plan to build it near Yuchifang. The center of Dongtu is more suitable.
After staying for another half month, when the family was on track in Yuchifang, Ximen Changqing and Pan Yulian hurriedly set off to the next stop.
It is the center of the Eastern Earth, the area controlled by the Tang royal family, the most prosperous place in the Eastern Earth, and the place where the ancient monks gathered together.
After bidding farewell to their grandfather Ximen Rende, Ximen Changqing and his two brothers embarked on a journey, rushing all the way to the central area of Eastland.
Where the ancient monks gathered in the cave, you can definitely find good things, and there may be resources that the Ximen family needs.
The family's management of Dongtu means that there is no need to worry about the foundation building pills and there will never be a shortage. However, even in the rich Dongtu, it is not possible to buy them at will.
Foundation-building pills in the Eastern Barren are rare resources, and in the Eastern Land, pill-forming spiritual objects are relatively scarce resources, and ordinary shops will not sell them.
Only at auctions can you see pill-forming spiritual objects.
Therefore, in addition to the great Nascent Soul forces, the ordinary Danjie forces will not have more than ten Danjie real people. Many Danjie families in the East only have only one or two Danjie monks.
The Ximen family no longer lacks members from the Foundation Establishment tribe, but the lack of members from the Jiedan tribe will seriously limit the family's development.
Back then, the Ximen family was able to have fifty Jiedan tribe members because of a true energy fruit tree in the Nine Heavens Space.
The Solid Yuan Pill refined from the True Yuan Fruit can assist in pill formation, with a success rate of at least 30%. Taking two pills together means a 50% chance.
Unfortunately, after losing their master, all the rare spiritual plants in the Nine Heavens Space died one after another, resulting in extremely huge losses.
Nowadays, there are many members of the Ximen Family's Foundation Establishment Clan. In a few years, a large number of Foundation Establishment Clan members will enter the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment.
How to get them to form elixirs is a big problem. Ximen Changqing must find a way to get more people to form elixirs so that the family can develop better.
Heaven and earth spiritual objects with various attributes are difficult to obtain and can only satisfy a few tribesmen. If you want more tribesmen to form elixirs, you must obtain the True Essence Fruit Tree.
With the acceleration ability of Jiutian Space, one can continuously obtain True Yuan Fruit and refine a large number of Yuan-Guarding Pills, thereby ensuring the pill-forming needs of a large number of tribesmen.
Only half of the Nascent Soul power in Dongtu has the True Yuan Fruit Tree, which bears fruit once every hundred years and can refine up to ten Yuan-Guarding Pills at a time.
Therefore, for the Dongtu Yuanying forces, Guyuan Pills are also scarce, and not all disciples have the opportunity to form pills.
The most powerful Spirit Sword Sect in the East has three True Essence Fruit Trees and can obtain up to thirty Essence-Reinforcing Pills every hundred years. It is not stressful to train more than a dozen elixir-forming disciples.
Therefore, the Lingjian Sect can have nearly a hundred pill-forming monks, while those Nascent Soul forces that do not have the True Essence Fruit Tree will not have more than thirty pill-forming monks.
This is the case with the Yuchi family. Although their family has three members of the Yuanying tribe, there are less than thirty members of the Jiedan tribe.
In order to increase the number of people in the Danji tribe, they have to collect various Danji spiritual objects everywhere.
As long as there are spiritual objects from heaven and earth that can assist in forming pills, or solid-yuan pills, they will find a way to take them.
If there is a lack of alchemy resources, one is destined to be controlled by others, which will also seriously affect one's own development.
In order to ensure the development and growth of the family, finding the True Essence Fruit Tree is the best way, and the central area of East Earth is undoubtedly the most suitable place.
In the center of the East Earth where the ancient monks' caves gathered, you may be able to find true energy fruit trees, and you may even get more unexpected harvests.
It is said that two of the three true essence fruit trees of the Lingjian Sect come from the secret realm in the center of the East Earth.
That time, the monks of the Spirit Sword Sect accidentally entered a secret realm and found that it was an ancient monk's cave. There were two true essence fruit trees inside, which made them extremely happy.
It was not until the two true essence fruit trees were transplanted to the sect that this matter was known to outsiders, and the Lingjian Sect did not deny it.
There are many monks in Dongtu who like to hunt for treasures in this area, and it has become a place where fish and dragons are mixed.
For the Tang royal family, which only had one Nascent Soul monk, the influx of many monks into their place would bring great trouble to management.
But they did not have the strength to oppose them. When two casual Nascent Soul cultivators appeared, the Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty relented and could only allow these outside monks to hunt for treasures in the core area of the Tang Dynasty.
Soon, Ximen Changqing and Pan Yulian also became foreign treasure-hunting monks and entered the core area of East Earth.
"This is Pingkangfang. It is no longer as prosperous as it once was."
Looking at the somewhat dilapidated Xiuxianfang City in front of him, Ximen Changqing sighed.
Pingkangfang was an important market established by the Tang Dynasty royal family. At that time, there were at least 100,000 monks here. Now, the entire market has less than 5,000 monks, which is a lot of decline.
This is just a microcosm. Other markets opened by the Tang royal family were in the same situation and declined step by step.
The largest Damingfang only maintains a scale of 100,000 monks, and 30% of them are foreign treasure-hunting monks.
"Such a large Yuanying family has declined, but at least it is still a Yuanying family."
Gu Pan Yulian sighed.
The Ximen family was also the Yuanying family back then, but it has declined to this point. The Tang royal family, also known as the Li family, has declined, but at least it has always been the Yuanying family.
It was just that the first Yuanying family in the East was reduced to the weakest Yuanying force.
“Mei Lian, let’s settle here first!”
Ximen Changqing said.
Damingfang, which is farther away, is more prosperous. However, now that you are here, you have to visit each market to inquire about the situation and be aware of it.
As soon as the two entered Fang City, a young Qi practitioner came over.
No need to ask, this is the guide of Pingkangfang, who specializes in helping foreign monks, introducing the situation in the city, and receiving a certain amount of compensation.
"Seniors, if you need a guide, a low-grade spiritual stone will suffice."
Qi Lian Xiaoxiu's attitude is very good.
"Take it."
Hearing this, Ximen Changqing took out a middle-grade spiritual stone and handed it over.
"Thank you, senior. I have stayed in Pingkangfang for thirty years. There is nothing that I am not familiar with about the situation here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
The minor Qi practitioner got the middle-grade spiritual stone, and his face looked excited.
"My little friend, do you know the situation of the royal family Li? Just hearsay is fine."
Ximen Changqing asked immediately.
"Senior, you've asked the right person. I know a lot about the royal family, the Li family, because I've been around a lot of people. What I know most is all kinds of gossip."
Qi Qi Xiaoxiu rarely showed a proud look.
"Let's go to the best spiritual food restaurant in Fang City, order some good wine and food, and tell me slowly."
Ximen Changqing would not let Xiao Xiu work in vain and let him lead the way to the best spiritual food building.
"Senior, please come this way."
Xiao Xiu has also seen the world. Over the years, there have been at least hundreds of seniors who have asked him about the royal Li family. He knows how to deal with them.
He knows a lot of information in his head, which is enough to cope with various cross-examinations. As for the authenticity of various gossips, he cannot guarantee it.
Seniors from all walks of life don't care. As long as he tells the truth what he knows, he will be satisfied if he can make a small amount of money.
"Two seniors, this Junyue Building is the best spiritual food building in Pingkangfang. However, this is not just a spiritual food building. Seniors should understand."
Xiao Xiu glanced at him.
"No problem, just have a meal."
Pan Yulian didn't care, the Immortal Cultivation Shop would not force consumption.
For the Danjie monks, there is no need to replenish spiritual food, but it does not matter to satisfy the appetite. By the way, Xiao Xiu can replenish his physical strength and talk more about the Li family.
They also inquired a lot about what happened in Dongtu for hundreds of years along the way, but they didn't know much about the affairs of the royal family Li family, and more inquiries were needed.
"No need to be polite, little friend. Sit down and eat slowly. Only when you are full will you have the strength to tell stories."
Ximen Changqing smiled and handed half of the spiritual food and wine to Xiao Xiu.
"Thank you, senior. Most of the juniors take Bigu Pills, so it is difficult for them to eat spiritual food. Senior, you are so kind..."
Xiao Xiu was polite, gulped down the delicious spiritual food, and gulped down the spiritual wine.
Afterwards, Xiao Xiu told Ximen Changqing and Ximen Changqing all the information he knew.
Because the amount of information is too large, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is very difficult to process and requires analysis bit by bit.
"More than seven hundred years ago, the royal Li family had twelve Nascent Soul monks. After that, things happened quickly, and the Li family declined rapidly.
The timing is such a coincidence. The gossip that the little friend mentioned just now may be referring to the Ximen family. "
After Xiao Xiu left, Ximen Changqing carefully analyzed the information and spoke.
"In thirty years, eight Nascent Souls have increased to twelve. It is indeed easy to arouse jealousy and suspicion. Are the Nascent Soul monks who besieged you back then confirmed to be members of the royal Li family?"
Pan Yulian asked with a frown.
"That's right, among the fifteen Nascent Soul monks who besieged me back then, one of them was indeed dressed as the royal Li family. He was injured by me but did not die."
Ximen Changqing thought about it and said with certainty.
After some analysis, the two of them felt more and more that the decline of the royal Li family seemed to have something to do with the Ximen family. Although it was just a guess, it was very likely.
According to what Xiao Xiu said, there was a rumor that the royal Li family had received a lot of benefits in the Eastern Wasteland, which allowed them to add four Nascent Soul clan members in one go within thirty years.
Xiao Xiu just said it casually, but Ximen Changqing and the other two took it seriously.
This rumor is too true. The Li family of the royal family has indeed been to Donghuang, and the ninth-level Nascent Soul monk was injured by the Sky-Breaking Hammer.
As for what benefits the injured Li family great monk received in the Eastern Wasteland, no one knows.
There is no possibility of obtaining a baby-making spiritual object from the ruins of the Ximen family. Four people in the Li family have had babies in the past thirty years. Maybe they have their own chance.
However, outsiders would not think so. Perhaps they suspected that the Li family had obtained a valuable treasure in Donghuang and launched a group attack.
The century-old chaos in the Eastern Wasteland has made all the major forces crazy. If they catch a suspect, they will naturally pounce on him like a vicious dog.
"The little friend said that before the accident, the ancestor of the Li family killed two monks of the same level as the ninth level of Nascent Soul. He was very powerful!"
"The person I fought with back then was probably the ancestor of the Li family. He was indeed very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been just slightly injured and would have been killed by a hammer long ago."
"If it is really the same person, his injuries are indeed not serious. Decades later, he can still kill two monks of the same level."
Ximen Changqing smiled and took out the map marked by the friend. These were the locations of all the discovered ancient monk caves in the area controlled by the royal Li family.
There is no need to explore these marked locations. The treasures in the cave have long been taken away.
But this map is still of great significance. At least, it can intuitively display the locations of all the discovered ancient monk caves, and some patterns may be found from it.
In this way, Ximen Changqing and his two brothers stayed in the core area of East Earth for more than ten years, and their cultivation level also improved by one level, and they were promoted to the second level of pill formation together.
In the past ten years or so, they have made friends with many monks, learned more about the inside story, and personally explored some ancient monk caves. The harvest was still great.
