Annan Valley.
Ma Yuande straightened his clothes and walked out of the house in Ma's stronghold.
As soon as he went out, a servant next to him carefully brought a small mahogany bowl.
The bowl is no bigger than a child's fist. It contains half a bowl of crystal clear white rice grains, exuding steaming heat and the fragrance of tea.
He took the small bowl and ate all the rice in the bowl three times.
Not long after, a stream of heat rose up in the abdomen and slowly integrated into the muscles and bones. It was as comfortable as taking a medicinal bath in the winter.
In fact, red corn is one of the common spiritual grains. Its difference from normal rice is that the rice grains are longer and spindle-shaped, with a red line visible to the naked eye in the center.
In terms of nourishing blood and strengthening the body, their effects are almost the same as those of ordinary medicinal materials. Compared with medicines, they are milder and have no side effects. They can be taken year after year. Even if you don't have the corresponding talent, it is simple to break through the realm of tendons, right?
Even for a martial artist like him in the Destiny Realm, it would be of considerable benefit.
It's a pity that the output is not high.
Ma Yuande sighed, threw the empty bowl into the servant's arms, wiped his hands and walked to the other side of the valley.
Although Annan Valley is a valley, it covers a large area. There used to be a desolate hill in the valley, but due to the earthquake, several large spiritual fields appeared.
Even due to the infiltration of spiritual sources, the surrounding soil has become extremely fertile.
After several large families jointly developed and managed it, it was built into a stepped, horizontal terrace style.
The top layer is naturally planted with spiritual rice. As the soil fertility declines, hybrid rice and even ordinary rice are planted at the bottom. Herbs such as mulberry and goldenrod are planted on the side stems to strengthen the soil ridge and maintain fertility. .
Not counting the long-term benefits and the scarcity of Linggu, based on market value alone, the benefits of this terraced field are higher than that of a large-scale rich mine.
It can truly be said to be the foundation of family heirlooms.
Normally, only a deranged prodigal would be willing to sell.
Ma Yuande chuckled when he thought of this. Of course, there are also unlucky guys like Lin.
Thinking of this, he walked faster towards Lin's residence.
The reason is naturally to discuss the extraction of the spiritual source of the spiritual field and the corresponding compensation issues.
In fact, it stands to reason that there would be no problem if this group of people took over Lin's property forcefully.
After all, almost all the big forces in Lin Yu County had some vague idea that Lin was being used as a target by Zhou Shengjun because something happened to Mr. Lin Zhao.
It can be said that this kind of thing is normal in this world, where everyone pushes down the wall and breaks the drum.
It's a pity that this plan was successful even if it was said to be successful, and it was indeed unsuccessful even if it was not successful.
On the positive side, the Lingtian holding increase tax was indeed implemented very smoothly. No one's power exploded. The Lin family was directly defeated in Dayan Mountain, and its power was greatly weakened;
On the other hand, for the Great Zhou Dynasty to be like this, it also cost the lives of two battalions of Zhou Shengjun and three commanders. Lin Yuantian of the Lin family was still alive like this and gained the reputation of Four-Armed Shura.
This made everyone somewhat scrupulous and had to negotiate to gain as much benefit as possible.
When Ma Yuande arrived at Lin's residence, there were already many people in the house.
Sitting in the first place is naturally Lin Yuanqiao of the Lin family.
At this time, Lin Yuanqiao's face was calm, neither sad nor happy. He sat with his back straight and his aura was the same as before.
It seemed that he was not among the people who boarded the Great Zhou Sea to catch documents a few days ago.
The next ones are Ye Chong from the Ye family and Feng Lian from the Feng family.
Surprisingly, he was the only one missing.
"Looks like I'm the only one to blame. Haha, it's my fault. I'd like to apologize first."
Ma Yuande didn't show any stage fright either. He entered the room with a smile and found a reserved seat to sit down.
"It doesn't matter, the time is just right," Lin Yuanqiao shook his head, looked around and said in a deep voice,
"Since everyone is here, I won't beat around the bush. After all, everyone has known each other for a long time.
My Lin family has been in some turmoil recently, and I have to sell some properties to the outside world, including the Lin family's spiritual land. "
He paused and said, "Except for the Annan Valley property, except for the corresponding spiritual fields and spiritual sources, I, Lin, will not take any of the other assets, such as the fertile fields and immature herbs, as compensation for you. What do you think?"
Time was running out, and Lin Yuanqiao did not want to argue for too long. He would rather give up some of his interests, just to quickly complete the division of the spiritual field, and cut the mess with a quick knife, he said.
"Brother Yuanqiao, you are so humble. If all the troubles caused by the Lin family were even considered, the world would be said to be in peace and prosperity."
Feng Lian, who was sitting in the lower seat, first said with a smile.
"As for the transfer of property, we are old acquaintances and understand Lin's suffering, so we are naturally willing to help. By the way, we can get to know Brother Yuantian, who is known as the four-armed stone sword and has the angry look of a king.
But with Brother Yuantian's heroic spirit, he probably wouldn't want to let the brother who helped suffer a loss, right? "
He said with a smile, meaning something.
"That's right. I heard that Brother Yuantian's injury is not serious, right? We are also willing to help. Although it is only a small amount, it is good to at least make him worry less."
At this time, Ma Yuande also answered.
When it came to the words "the injury is serious", he deliberately said it more literally and louder.
However, Ye Chong from the Ye family did not say a word. He just bowed his head and drank tea alone, looking like he would not interfere...
"Oh? I, Lin, have always been magnanimous in doing things. Naturally, I will not let my friends suffer. Of course, I will not make it easy for my enemies.
Brother Ma and Brother Feng don’t need to beat around the bush, you might as well say it directly if you have something to say. "
Lin Yuanqiao naturally heard the strange atmosphere between the two people and said directly.
"Since Brother Yuanqiao speaks quickly, we won't have to beat around the bush."
It was Feng Lian who spoke first. He turned his head, lightly contacted Ma Yuande's eyes, and said loudly:
"Although the extraction of spiritual sources from the spiritual field will not theoretically cause harm to the spiritual fields other than the spirit sealing stone, just in case, a small probability event will inevitably occur. Lin needs to give us a deposit in advance.
Of course, if there is no damage to our spiritual fields in a hundred years, the deposit will naturally be returned in full. "
"Deposit? Will it be returned in full after a hundred years? I dare to ask you two, how much of this deposit do I, Lin, need to pay?"
Lin Yuanqiao was startled, then laughed angrily.
You must know that the technology of extracting the spiritual source from the spiritual field has long been mature as a related technology for the reconstruction of the spiritual field. There are sealing spirit stones to isolate the spiritual source and can effectively divide the spiritual field.
The so-called hundred-year guarantee is even more outrageous. Great changes can occur in just a few decades, let alone a hundred years?
The reason is that he just wants to take advantage of the situation.
"Half, the Lin family's spiritual field in Annan Valley will keep half, and the rest of the properties in Annan Town will also be used as a deposit.
If Lin agrees, you can start extracting the spiritual source immediately. "
Ma Yuande said in a deep voice, looking at Lin Yuanqiao with burning eyes.
As for not agreeing, naturally nothing can be taken away.
"Half, plus all Annan's properties? This deposit is enough to guarantee it."
"Do you think that I, the Lin family, are really useless and that no one dares to step on me?" Lin Yuanqiao's face became a little ugly and he sneered.
"Brother Yuanqiao has overthought it. Although the deposit is with us, it is only for management. When the contract expires a hundred years later, it will naturally be returned to Lin together with the annual income. It is just a guarantee, so why be angry?"
Feng Lian picked up the tea cup, blew on it gently, took a sip, and said with a smile.
This was more of a trial than a deposit.
From what I heard above, Zhou Shengjun was preparing to mobilize masters from the county government to suppress the Lin family. After all, a fallen Ningyang in Huaizhou was ugly enough.
If there is another lawless Lin family, do you really think that the Great Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed?
If Lin regresses and is really willing to pay the deposit, it means that something is wrong with Lin Yuanthen.
When Zhou Shengjun annihilates the Lin family, they may not be able to truly participate in it and get a share of the pie.
"Needless to say, I, Lin, will not pay even a cent of this bullshit deposit!
If something goes wrong, you can come to Dayan Mountain to seek compensation! "
Lin Yuanqiao became calm after talking about it.
"As for Lingyuan, how to deal with my Lin's things is not open to outsiders' opinions. Today I am just informing you."
"Haha, brother Yuanqiao, please be careful. Recently, there have been many wild beasts in the Annan Valley. They are ferocious and terrifying. If you don't know, the spiritual field will be destroyed and you won't get anything."
Feng Lian sneered, his tone cold.
"Lin started his career by hunting animals. Brother Feng doesn't need to worry about this. I want to see which beast that is not afraid of death dares to stretch out its claws.
My hands are so itchy that I can kill them one by one, or slaughter one by one. "
Lin Yuanqiao also smiled, tit for tat.
.....................
at dusk.
Outside Annan Valley.
A thousand meters high in the sky, a black dot flew across the sky, flying rapidly.
Compared to the vast sky and falling snow, this black spot is undoubtedly very inconspicuous.
At this time, on the slope outside the valley, a one-horned wolf deer was drinking water by the stream.
Suddenly, the rapid sound of breaking wind came from overhead, followed by a loud hawk's call.
The iron-haired wolf and deer trembled their feet, which was an instinctive reaction. They subconsciously raised their legs and ran away, turning their heads in a hurry:
In its field of vision, in the blue sky, a black spot was very inconspicuous at first, then grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into two black spots.
Poof!
Two soft sounds.
The two black spots in the sky turned into two terrifying upright walking animals, falling from a high altitude, continuously using the tree trunks to unload their force, and finally landed gently on the ground.
Bang!
The trunk of the tree was trampled, and the snow from the crown fell, splashing in front of the wolf and deer. It stopped with a thump,
It looked back in horror. The river was still gurgling, the snowflakes were falling, and there were no other creatures.
It turned out to be an illusion?
The wolf and deer stepped lightly with their hooves a few times, looked around, then walked back to the stream and continued to drink water.
