Guan Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said: "I am currently ranked fourth in the Elders' House and have considerable secular authority. Dad, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "A hundred miles west of Wurou Villa, we are already very close to Yuxu Peak. If I can take over Yuxu Peak, I can restore part of the legendary 'Kunlun Wonderland'. This is my long-cherished wish." "
The real Kunlun Wonderland refers to the Nine Heavens of Kunlun, which includes the nine mountains in the eastern part of the Kunlun Mountains and stretches for thousands of miles. It is impossible for the country to grant it to Lu Cheng. But if he could win Yuxu Peak, Lu Cheng would also be very satisfied. Because Yawurou's mountain was too small to carry the spirit-gathering beads he brought back from another world, some of the spirit-gathering beads had been stored in the storage ring and could not be taken out and buried underground.
Guan Qingfeng said: "Let me think of a way, maybe I can help you accomplish this."
Lu Cheng said: "How much money is needed to convince the other elders, you can give it."
Although Guan Qingfeng is not the number one figure in the Elders' House, his skills are too high! The other elders felt wary when they saw him.
This is the year 2230, which is different from 2030. Although the state system has not changed significantly, the status of cultivators has been greatly improved. Strength is respected, and the weak and the strong are the same at any time.
Half a year later, Wurou Villa received approval, and the contracted mountain area expanded westward, including Yuxu Peak. However, the annual contract fee also increased, from 20 billion to 50 billion.
50 billion is considered a drop in the bucket for the Lu family. Because the Lu family's wealth exceeds 40 trillion, even if it grows by 1% every year, it will still be 400 billion more, which is enough to pay the contracting fees.
At the same time, the scope of Qingfeng Villa also expanded outwards, covering the entire Daishan Mountains.
As the climate warms, the sea level rises by 70 meters. Cities such as the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River Delta, Hangzhou Bay, and the Pearl River Delta are all below sea level. The Yangtze River estuary shrinks about 500 kilometers westward in a straight line. Shenyang, sjz, Zhengzhou, and Jiujiang , Anqing became a coastal city, and Shandong Peninsula, Daishan Mountains, and Yimeng Mountains became isolated islands.
Now that it has become an isolated island, it will inevitably face the attack of the Kraken. The country is too lazy to send military police to maintain security, so Qingfeng Villa takes over the responsibility!
As for the hundreds of millions of people living in the eastern coastal areas? They have all moved to Greater China, Greater Inner Mongolia, Greater Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia. The original desert Gobi has turned into a green space, enough to accommodate a large population. Moreover, the ice and snow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have melted, making many places suitable for human habitation. Especially those descendants of people with superpowers, their hemoglobin oxygen content is much higher than that of ordinary people.
The rising sea level has not eroded the three northeastern provinces. The vast black soil is still there. Because of the rising temperature, it has become more suitable for human habitation.
In China in 2230, due to the increase in cultivators, the fertility rate has dropped significantly, and the total population is only 500 million.
Although those cultivation families occupy the spiritual peaks, the lives of ordinary people can still maintain a well-off state. This is also the scene that Lu Cheng and Guan Qingfeng expected.
After Lu Cheng took over Yuxu Peak, he did not immediately carry out large-scale development because it was a long-term plan and required careful planning.
The whole process of opening up mountain roads, pulling spiritual veins, planting spirit-gathering beads, setting up large arrays, building caves, cultivating nurseries and gardens, and planting exotic flowers and plants may take hundreds of years.
Moreover, with the expansion of the "Yaochi City" led by the Lu family, the 150-mile radius of the mountains also needs overall planning. He plans to build some more villas and caves to increase the number of hermits living here to 150,000.
As the leader of the cultivation family, the Lu family occupies such a large territory and needs to shoulder social responsibilities and set an example for other families.
In these years, the top 100 aristocratic families and major sects all have their own territories. Many aristocratic families have turned the contracted areas into independent kingdoms, and outsiders are not allowed to visit and watch. This is not the case in the Lu family. Except for Wurou Villa, which is covered by Lu Cheng's large array, the rest of the places are open to the public. Visitors from all over the country can come and watch, and they can also stay here for a short period of time and enjoy the impact of the rich spiritual energy.
Of course, if you want to be a hermit here and rent a cave to live for a long time, you need to have a certain economic status.
The so-called "poor in literature and rich in martial arts" means practicing martial arts in the early stage of cultivation. Practicing martial arts costs money.
Cultivation pays attention to the law of wealthy couples. The rich are the uncles. They can live in places rich in spiritual energy, buy elixirs from time to time, and obtain various cultivation secrets. The road to cultivation is relatively smooth. If you don't have money, you can only practice hard, or join various sects to do hard work, and accumulate merit and wealth little by little. After hard work, you may stand out.
This is modern cultivation. All sects adopt a membership system. Low-level members have to pay membership fees to the sect and contribute to the sect. By accumulating points, they can be promoted from outer sect disciples to inner sect disciples, elite disciples, deacons, and church members. Master, corresponding to level one to level nine members. Members of different levels have different benefits. Only high-level members can get the secrets of cultivation. Low-level members can switch to another sect, but high-level members cannot, because it involves the issue of leaking the skills.
In fact, all sects are very conservative and hold back when teaching exercises. The real core secrets will not be provided to members, but will only be taught to a very small number of direct disciples.
Therefore, if a child from an ordinary family joins a sect and practices hard, if he wants to become a great monk, it is almost impossible without special opportunities. Only by being accepted as a disciple by the head or as a son-in-law by an elder can he change his identity and embark on a smooth road.
For the Lu family, they are not worried about the leakage of the skills, because the skills stored in the library are vast, and those mental skills at the level of witches and martial arts masters, even if they are thrown out to others to practice, those people will not be able to practice them.
Most of the Lu family's mental methods involve runes. If you don't understand the runes, you have no basis for cultivation. This is why family rules require that the eldest son and daughter-in-law of each generation must master runes and witchcraft. Otherwise, if the elders practice in seclusion for a long time, it will be lost in the next few generations.
After Jin Wanrong married into the Lu family, she had been studying runes while studying the sound of the qin and developing the guqin.
She originally thought that her "Eagle Claw Kung Fu" was considered a unique skill in the world, but after entering the Lu family's library, she realized that her vision was too shallow! There are many jade tablets and animal skin books in the library, and more information is stored in the computer in the form of images. Some of them were sorted out by Jiang Qiuyun, Mei Lingshang and Tao Qianqian. Each piece of the sorted information is It's very profound, much more powerful than the "Eagle Claw Kung Fu"!
