The family's strength is not strong enough. If it wants to develop rapidly, it must make bold plans and extend the family's tentacles to every corner of the world of immortality.
The foundations of Donghuang and Donghai are already very solid. The foundations of Dongtu are also developing rapidly. The Central Plains already has a foothold.
Nowadays, the evil ghost world has also been established by the family, and the family's development has once again entered the fast lane.
Of course, these are not enough. In order to develop the family faster, more clan members must be transferred to the Central Plains to expand the family's presence in the Central Plains.
The Western Wasteland, the South China Sea, and the Northern Icefield must also establish a foothold as soon as possible so that the family's power can extend to every corner of the world of immortality.
In the Qingyang Mountain Assembly Hall, all the clan elders gathered together.
Ximen Zangjian personally presided over the meeting, and important clan members such as Ximen Rende, Ximen Renzhi, Ximen Changqing, Ximen Changkong, and Ximen Yunlong were all present.
First, Ximen Changqing told the core clansmen about the family’s foundation in the evil ghost world.
He also told everyone that the resources of the evil ghost world are complementary to those of the mortal world, and the price difference is up to ten thousand times, which is extremely beneficial to the development of the family.
This was unanimously approved by all the core clan members, and many clan elders made it clear that they could go to the Evil Ghost Realm to take charge.
However, for the safety of the clansmen, clansmen will not be easily sent into the evil ghost world for the time being, especially low-level clansmen.
The main liaison with the evil ghost world is Ximen Changkong and Ximen Yunfei. They will regularly go to the evil ghost world in person to help the children of the Ni family, Zhang Hei and others.
As for the next major topic, it is the big development of the family.
At present, the situation on the demon-killing battlefield is grim, and the Holy Demon Sect has been discovered in the world of immortality cultivation. It can be said to be a troubled time.
If the family cannot quickly improve its strength, it will be very dangerous if the demon-killing battlefield is lost or the Holy Demon Sect starts a war, and the family is in danger of being destroyed.
"Elders, we are in troubled times right now. The demon-slaying battlefield may be lost at any time, and the Holy Demon Sect doesn't know when to launch an attack.
The family's development plan must be adjusted, and the relatively conservative development plan must be changed to a large-scale development strategy.
The specific method is to mobilize more tribesmen from the Eastern Wilderness to develop in the Central Plains. At the same time, three groups of tribesmen must also be mobilized to go to the Western Wilderness, the South China Sea, and the Northern Icefield.
The entire world of cultivating immortals must have people from my Ximen family. Only by spreading out the development of the clan can we accumulate more resources faster and allow more clan members to improve their realm.
According to my assumptions, within thirty years, the family will be able to establish a foundation in the entire world of immortality. Within fifty years, the family's Yuanying tribe will have more than one hundred people.
Having reached such strength, the family can barely protect itself and not be trampled to death like ants. "
Ximen Changqing expressed his opinions passionately, which made many tribesmen boil with excitement.
"If we raise the number of Yuanying tribe members to over one hundred within fifty years, wouldn't we old guys have a chance?"
"At this time, the family was conservative in its development because it was worried about encountering danger. But now, all the major sects have been attracted by the demons in the demon-killing battlefield and the newly emerged Holy Demon Sect.
In this way, there is not much attention to pay attention to the development of our family.
Moreover, we are developing in a decentralized manner, and every foundation is a brand new sect, so no one will notice it. "
"I support Chang Qing's decision. The development of the family must be accelerated, so that more qualified clan members can be promoted to the great realm."
"Changqing, are there enough spiritual materials for birthing babies? Can we guarantee that a hundred tribesmen will have babies within fifty years?"
The tribesmen all support the accelerated development of the family, but they also have some concerns.
"Elders, you are worrying too much. As long as the tribesmen work hard, there will be enough spiritual objects to form babies. It will only be more but not less, haha!"
Ximen Changqing laughed loudly and told the clansmen to just relax.
Hearing this, the tribesmen also laughed happily and did not doubt Ximen Changqing's promise. He had never broken his promise, so the tribesmen could rest assured.
"Changqing, how many tribesmen do you think is most appropriate to send to the Central Plains? The Eastern Wasteland and the East China Sea are the places with the largest number of tribesmen.
But there are still many places that need to be developed. If too many tribesmen are transferred, it will affect the original development plan. "
Ximen Renzhi has been responsible for managing the clan affairs of Donghuang and Donghai. He understands that although the clan is large, no one is redundant.
If more tribesmen are to be transferred to the Central Plains, the development plans of Donghuang and Donghai will inevitably be affected.
"Yes! Evergreen, there are tens of thousands of spiritual islands in the Qingjiao Archipelago, and only more than 500 of them have been developed at the moment. The East China Sea is so vast, and there are countless archipelagos, and they also need people!"
"The Central Plains is more fertile. Only by putting more people in the Central Plains can we develop better."
"But the East China Sea is safer! The Turtle Clan takes care of it here. The family monks can operate with confidence and can exchange a large amount of spiritual materials from the Turtle Clan."
"The clan members are still too few, too few! If there were 100,000 clan members, it wouldn't be so difficult."
"With the vastness of the Eastern Sea, even if there are millions of tribesmen, it will not be enough to block it."
For a while, the tribesmen started arguing. Generally speaking, they were unwilling to give up anywhere and wanted to expand their scale everywhere. They lamented that the tribesmen were not large enough to satisfy their ambitions.
"Second uncle, what the elders are saying is that there are currently less than 20,000 monks in the family. If we want to develop everywhere, the manpower is indeed somewhat stretched.
However, the plan I proposed is not to be completed in one day, but to be completed in fifty years. With the current size of the family, if we work hard to breed heirs,
Fifty years from now, how many family monks will there be? One hundred thousand is not impossible. I think the family’s policy to encourage childbirth needs to be changed again to double the reward.
Not only the monks from the hopeless family have to work hard to breed offspring, but also the promising tribesmen, and the rewards can be tripled or even quintupled.
If they cannot find a Taoist companion and cannot give birth to children with spiritual roots, they will be punished by increasing the price of exchanging family spiritual items by 30%. "
Ximen Changqing soon gave out a strategy, intending to further reform family policies and increase efforts to encourage childbirth.
In particular, clansmen with good cultivation need to breed offspring for the family. In this way, the family's monks will appear on a larger scale.
"Chang Qing is right. It's just the beginning now. There is no need to mobilize too many clansmen for the time being. We just need to send some clansmen first to lay the foundation everywhere.
When more clan members were needed, the scale of the family monks also expanded several times, enough to cope with the shortage of manpower. "
"I have no objection to encouraging tribesmen to breed offspring and increasing the amount of rewards. However, it is too unkind to punish them if they cannot find a Taoist partner."
"There are many among the clansmen who cannot give birth to children with spiritual roots. Just because of this, it is unnecessary to punish them!"
"I don't think it's a big deal. This can better encourage the tribe to have children. The punishment is not serious. It just increases the exchange price of the spiritual items in the tribe's treasury."
After some discussion, the clan members all supported Ximen Changqing’s suggestion.
"Everyone, I have discussed with Changqing and will first transfer two thousand tribesmen to the Central Plains to increase the number of tribesmen in the Central Plains to three thousand.
As for the Western Wilderness, the South China Sea, and the Northern Icefield, the family has not yet established a foundation, and will not send clansmen to these places within a few years.
The task of opening up these three foundations will be left to Changqing. Changqing, please tell me your plan! "
After Ximen Zangjian finished speaking, he looked at Ximen Changqing.
"Elders, my plan is very simple. I will start from the North Icefield, where my third brother and my third sister-in-law have lived for many years.
With the help of the two of them, I believe that the foundation can be laid quickly. In a few years at most, the family will be able to lay a foundation in the Arctic Icefield.
Once the Arctic is over, the next step is the Western Wilderness, which is relatively unfamiliar, but it can’t stop me. The last step is the South China Sea, which will definitely be completed within fifty years. "
Ximen Changqing briefly stated his plan to reassure the elders.
The next step is the specific plan. Ximen Changqing explained it in detail and made every step clear, which made the elders feel more at ease.
In the end, all the elders of the family divided the work and cooperated. Everyone received their own tasks, and the Yuanying clan members were each responsible for a development direction.
The task of selecting tribesmen was naturally left to Ximen Renzhi, who was the best at this aspect of the job, and two thousand tribesmen were quickly selected.
If some tribesmen are transferred to the Central Plains, the development of the Eastern Wasteland and the Eastern Sea will naturally be affected to a certain extent.
However, the Ximen family has a particularly large number of ordinary people, which is also an important human resource that can be utilized. As long as the work that the ordinary people can complete, let them complete it as much as possible, thereby saving manpower, while the cultivators have to do more important things.
After some repairs, more than 2,000 people from the Ximen family set out for the Central Plains and arrived at Qingyu Mountain a month later.
Of course, Qingyu Mountain is only the family's foundation in the Central Plains. The three thousand clan members cannot stay in Qingyu Mountain all the time and must travel to various parts of the Central Plains.
Ximen Zangjian personally selected three hundred outstanding tribesmen and let them join various sects in the Central Plains. With the qualifications of these tribesmen, they are fully capable of joining these sects.
The advantage of this is that it can monitor the movements of various sects in a timely manner, so that the Ximen family will not know what is happening in the world of immortality.
Several Nascent Soul clan members acted separately to safely escort these three hundred outstanding clan members to the major Central Plains sects and let them join these sects.
In the end, only a dozen clan members were eliminated, and the remaining nearly three hundred clan members successfully joined the major sects in the Central Plains, and the family's goal was basically achieved.
Next, Ximen Zangjian and others separately inspected the major immortal-cultivating cities in the Central Plains. These immortal-cultivating cities can all be connected to the Jiutian City teleportation array.
If there is no way to connect to Jiutian City's teleportation array, it will greatly increase the risk of the clan's business, which is very undesirable given the family's current strength.
The family's foundation in the Central Plains is not strong enough. In addition to maintaining the Qingyu Sect, the remaining clan members can only hide in various major cities and do business.
The tribesmen will improve their cultivation level little by little while doing business, and will not let their cultivation level fall.
In the end, the Ximen family selected eight immortal-cultivating cities in the Central Plains, all of which were large-scale immortal-cultivating cities with the same specifications as Jiutian City. Counting Jiutian City, there were nine.
The nine major cities of cultivating immortals are all connected by teleportation arrays. The exchange of people and goods is very convenient, making it a good place for doing business.
Of course, there are two larger immortal-cultivating cities in the Central Plains, namely Feijian City and Beast Control City.
It's just that the Ximen family has limited strength and is currently unable to open its shops into the immortal cultivation cities established in the two holy places.
The tribesmen could only set up stalls in open spaces when they went there, because there were regulations in these two major cities of cultivating immortals. Only those from a large Nascent Soul Sect or above were eligible to open shops.
The Qingyu Mountain built by the Ximen family is far from meeting this standard, so they can only give up the two largest immortal cultivation cities in the Central Plains first.
"One year has just passed."
Ximen Changqing sighed.
They first sent nearly 300 clan members to various major sects to practice. After that, they inspected various major cultivation cities and opened eight new shops for the family. These things took a full year.
Of course, the harvest is also huge, which makes the family's foundation in the Central Plains even deeper.
Over the past year, Ximen Changqing took the time to refine a large number of Lingbao armors and other Lingbao weapons for the nine major sects.
The nine major sects were very grateful to him and handed over more Lingbao-level weapon refining tasks to him.
If he could stay in Jiutian City, he would have no problem completing these tasks, but Ximen Changqing had to set off for the Northern Icefield.
After leaving Jiutian City, how to refine weapons for the nine major sects has become a big problem.
To this end, Ximen Changqing used the excess spiritual materials to refine a large number of Lingbao-level armors and various weapons, shields, etc. in advance.
At the same time, he informed the nine major sects one by one about the retreat and asked them to send more spiritual materials in advance so that he could deliver the goods after leaving the retreat.
In Wanbao Tower of Tianwei Sect, Yan Baiyu was both happy and worried when he heard that Ximen Changqing was going to retreat to become an intermediate master of weapon refining.
Ximen Changqing will naturally be very happy if he can improve his weapon refining level, but if he improves his level in seclusion, he will not be able to refine spiritual treasures for the Heavenly Weapon Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Li, how long will this retreat take?"
Yan Baiyu asked anxiously.
"It's hard to say. If it goes well, it will only take three to five years. If it doesn't go well, it may take ten years."
Ximen Changqing couldn't say yes, and he didn't know how many years it would take for him to come back.
"It takes so long? My master has also gone into seclusion to improve his weapon refining level. Who will refine the spiritual treasure armor for the sect now!"
Yan Baiyu frowned and sighed, feeling very worried.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, don't worry. I can refine a batch of spiritual treasures for the Tianwei Sect before retreating.
In addition, after retreat, spiritual treasures will be continuously refined to improve the level of weapon refining. Therefore, fellow Taoists are required to provide as many spiritual materials as possible.
In this way, when I come out of seclusion, a large number of spiritual treasures will appear in Tianwei Sect, and there will even be middle-grade spiritual treasures. "
Ximen Changqing suggested sincerely.
"That's very good. Fellow Taoist, please wait for my news. I will collect spiritual materials right now. I will definitely send all the spiritual materials I can find to fellow Taoist tomorrow."
After Yan Baiyu finished speaking, he directly issued an order to his disciples to immediately collect the required fourth-level spiritual materials. The more the better,
He even went to the sect's warehouse in person, preparing to take out half of the sect's accumulated spiritual materials and let Ximen Changqing refine the spiritual treasures.
After leaving Wanbao Tower, Ximen Changqing went to the other eight houses, using the same tone and the same routine, and made the other eight houses take out most of the sect's inventory.
One day later, Ximen Changqing obtained a large amount of fourth-level spiritual materials, entered the nine-day space, and started the crazy refining mode.
