"Fellow Taoist Shepherd is right. Compared with those large sects, our Zhao family is still weak and has no qualifications to negotiate with them."
"We, the Zhao family, will never be allowed to get involved in such interests."
"..."
Mu Yangqiu finished speaking.
There was a corresponding sound all around.
"That......"
Zhao Chongxue's bright eyes were a little disappointed. She also realized that she was too naive. The Zhao family had been in peace for a long time, which made her subconsciously ignore the cruel intrigues and intrigues in the outside world.
"Is there no other way?"
Zhao Chongxue was still unwilling.
"Not really."
Mu Yangqiu took the words, then faced Zhao Yongqi and bowed his hands in salute, and then said: "If we can hire a clan with enough weight to act as a guarantor, we can still have some confidence in protecting our Zhao family from being bullied by foreign clans."
"after all."
"As landlords, our Zhao family must be more convenient than outsiders. In addition, we only seek a small share, as long as we are not too greedy."
Mu Yangqiu spoke eloquently.
Everyone in the hall nodded frequently.
"Deacon Mu is right."
Zhao Yongqi smiled and praised: "In that case, Deacon Chongxue will start first and find a suitable place in Silver Mine Valley to build some teahouses, restaurants, inns and other buildings. After the construction is completed..."
Zhao Yongqi thought briefly.
"Don't think about opening up to the outside world now, just wait for the opportunity... be prepared."
The method mentioned by Mu Yangqiu is indeed feasible.
If you want to take part in the creation of Fangshi, you cannot rely solely on the Zhao family. Even if you are a landlord, you will most likely be kicked out. You must have a strong enough clan as your backer to ensure certain benefits. .
backing......
Zhao Yongqi thought about it silently.
When they came to southern Xinjiang in Weishan at the beginning of the year, the Zhao family still maintained contact with the nearby clans, and would exchange gifts during every year and festival. In this way, the relationship with the nearby clans was considered good.
But the clan is willing to communicate with the Zhao family.
Basically not much better than the Zhao family.
It's definitely not possible to ask them to be your backers.
in addition.
After arriving at Wuyuan Valley.
The Zhao family is close to a state of "isolation" and has basically cut off communication with outside clans, so it is really difficult to find a backer.
Suddenly.
A figure flashed in Zhao Yongqi's mind.
perhaps.
You can consult Zhao Yongpei.
Zhao Yongpei runs an intelligence network outside and can even get information from the Qianzhong Alliance. He may be able to matchmaking and find a suitable clan.
The Zhao family can really be called a backer.
There is probably only Jiuyao Temple.
But Jiu Yao Guan was far away in Luo State, and water from far away could not quench his thirst nearby, so he naturally had no way to help in this matter.
for the rest of the time.
Focusing on the incident of the cross-domain waterway, the cultivators discussed several alternative countermeasures against the immortal cultivators attracted.
...
night.
"You came back so soon, what did Zhao Chongshan do?"
Return to the quiet room.
Zhao Yongqi unexpectedly discovered that the shadow beast was already waiting at the door. Because of the existence of the bright light exorcism array, the shadow beast could not enter the quiet room and could only huddle up and wait outside the quiet room.
"He used the Golden Sword Talisman to report information to the unknown existence, including the topographic map of our Five Origin Valley, information about the core deacons, including information about you and Junior Sister Zhao Yongwen." A baby-like voice came from the shadow beast's belly.
"oh?"
There was a coldness in Zhao Yongqi's eyes: "Have you found out who the message was sent to?"
"not yet."
"I know, just keep staring at him."
Send away the shadow beast.
Zhao Yongqi activated the protection formation again and glanced across the quiet room.
Futons, Zen incense, portraits...
Everything comes into view.
"No one has been here."
Zhao Yongqi has a suspicious character and is wary of everyone. The furnishings in the quiet room may look simple, but there are many unique details. As long as someone comes to the quiet room without permission, it will be extremely difficult to hide from him. Eye.
immediately.
He flicked his fingers, a trace of spiritual power shot through the air, and the Zen incense in the corner was immediately ignited.
In an instant.
The light fragrance of concentration filled the entire quiet room.
Zhao Yongqi sat cross-legged on the futon.
Lost in thought.
He had often observed Zhao Chongshan before, but found nothing unusual. Here, the shadow beast had just moved out and immediately caught him.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
Maybe.
In the past, Zhao Chongshan was in a lurking state.
It was not activated until recently.
present.
Or stay the same in the face of change.
Wait and see what Zhao Chongshan will do.
Change your mind.
Zhao Yongqi thought of another thing.
Today in Wuyuan Hall, although it looks the same as before, it can be clearly felt that the Zhao family cultivators are a little impetuous.
That's right.
Things like cross-domain waterways.
Opportunities and risks coexist.
Wuyuan Valley, where the Zhao family is located, can almost be said to be at the center of the whirlpool.
Even Zhao Yongqi couldn't guarantee whether the Zhao family would be a blessing or a disaster in this major event, and those clan members in the Qi refining period were naturally even more uneasy.
Think about it for a moment.
It didn't take long.
Zhao Yongqi suddenly took out a spiritual stone with both hands. As the spiritual energy gathered around the physical body, he fell into cultivation again.
The so-called strategy.
Just an assistant with insufficient strength.
If you have enough cultivation, I will defeat them with my own strength.
so.
You must save time for cultivation as much as possible.
...
...
There is no time in the mountains.
Don’t keep track of years in practice.
A month goes by in a blink of an eye.
this month.
More and more immortal cultivators are coming to Wuyuan Valley from all directions, and rumors of crossing the waterway have spread to the entire Thousand Layers Domain, the Eternal Life Domain...and even all the territories opened by Shuiyue Valley in the southern border.
Not only Wuyuangu.
All possible places to stop.
They all became meat and potatoes.
All of a sudden.
More than thirty territories in southern Xinjiang have caused waves due to rumors of cross-region waterways.
the most important is.
There are such widespread rumors.
No large-scale clan refuted the rumors, and even those seventh-grade clans frequently mobilized their manpower to appear in places like Wuyuan Valley.
From this.
It even made the immortal cultivators in southern Xinjiang believe in the authenticity of the rumors.
certainly.
Those places that are far away have nothing to do with the Zhao family.
The Zhao family monks are most concerned about.
There is only one third of an acre in Wuyuan Valley.
More and more immortal cultivators are coming to the vicinity of Wuyuan Valley, including the top eighth-grade clans such as Wuji Hanhai Sect, Taiyishan Huang Family, Xuanhuomen, and Dadongfu.
Such forces worship mountains.
It's not like the Zhao family can refuse.
That is to say, Zhao Yongqi announced the retreat in advance and handed over these stalls to Zhao Chongxue and Zhao Chongming.
besides.
It is not uncommon for people to kill people, seize treasures, and rob homes. There are no high-level monks in Wuyuan Valley, and they do not interfere with any behavior of monks outside the valley. Naturally, this place has become a lawless place.
There are not many people who get into fights over disagreements.
...
"Uncle Ninth, there are so many people here."
Outside Silvermine Valley.
Xiong Wushuang and his party finally arrived.
She and Uncle Jiu landed on the outskirts of a mountain forest, and were surprised to find that almost all the trees in the mountain forest had been cut down.
A fresh cross-section of a tree stump.
This shows that these trees were cut down not long ago.
Can be seen from the air.
On the bare mountain peaks, thousands of cultivators were walking around, and the roars of spiritual birds and beasts could be heard one after another. They were all tamed spiritual beasts in the world of cultivators. From time to time, a ray of light would fall down or rise into the sky.
here.
It is Xiyuan Mountain where the Silver Mine Valley is located.
These days.
Except for those coming from the eighth-grade clan, they are eligible to live in the Silver Mine Valley and even the Five Yuan Valley. The other ordinary ninth-grade clans are not allowed to enter the Five Yuan Valley.
then.
These immortal cultivators began to build residences around the Silver Mine Valley, gradually forming a large-scale gathering place.
As for the monster beasts that were raging in the mountains and forests.
Those who were smarter fled to other mountains, while those who were slow to react became the dead souls of these immortal cultivators.
Once a gathering place is formed.
Systems will naturally be created.
Many prestigious clans have joined forces.
Start voluntarily maintaining the security and stability of the place where you live.
Over time.
It became what it is today.
Although it is still very chaotic, it is much better than the initial chaos.
"You saw it along the way."
"Uncle Nine" is a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, his eyes seem to be chaotic, but upon closer inspection, they feel that they have been tempered by years.
As they shuttled inside the gathering place, they couldn't help but lower their voices, which were slightly hoarse: "Almost 80% of the immortal cultivators from the entire Thousand Layers Domain are coming in this direction. This cross-domain channel is a major event that has not happened in hundreds of years. People with lofty ideals We all know the opportunities and risks involved.”
"Um."
Xiong Wushuang nodded.
From time to time, she felt a gaze falling on her, and her keen sense of smell could even smell the enduring smell of blood. She subconsciously felt that this was not a good place, so she couldn't help but take a few steps quickly to get closer to Uncle Jiu.
"snort!"
See this.
Uncle Jiu snorted coldly.
The coercion of the late stage of foundation building radiated out, and those eyes hidden in the darkness suddenly disappeared.
Late stage of foundation building.
In the Qianzhong Domain where golden elixirs rarely appear, there are existences that can walk sideways in many realms, so naturally there is no room for Xiaoxiao to covet him.
but.
If an ordinary Qi practicing monk comes here.
If you don't have two brushes.
I'm afraid he will disappear inexplicably soon.
after all.
The monks who were the first to gather near Wuyuan Valley were basically speculative cultivators.
Most of these cultivators have evil intentions, especially in areas such as Wuyuan Valley that can be said to be uncontrolled, which makes them feel like a fish in water, and they can't help but set their sights on those who come after them.
Xiong Wushuang followed Uncle Jiu step by step.
She had done enough homework on the way here and knew that if she wanted to enter the Five Yuan Valley, she had to pass through the Silver Mine Valley, and their current destination was the entrance to the Silver Mine Valley.
Stop and go.
She was surprised to find out.
On the road to Silver Mine Valley, there are actually many checkpoints.
Xiong Wushuang originally thought.
It was already too much to prevent him from flying in the sky, but he didn't expect that there were also many obstacles on the ground.
That is, following Uncle Jiu.
Under the pressure of the monks in the later stage of his foundation building, the journey was smooth and he did not encounter any difficulties.
But this is not the case for ordinary monks.
"Fellow Taoist, stay here. If you want to pass through this place, you need to pay five low-grade spiritual stones."
Not far ahead.
Xiong Wushuang witnessed it with his own eyes.
A tall and thin monk who was in the Qi-training stage was stopped and asked for tolls for five low-grade spiritual stones.
"I just paid the toll twice, why do I have to collect the toll again soon? You are robbing me!" The monk in the Qi Refining Stage was a little annoyed.
"Fellow Taoist, you don't know something."
The monk who blocked the road had a gentle expression, but there were three monks nearby, surrounding the tall and thin monk. The monk who blocked the road explained: "The ones who set up roadblocks in front are the Yuying Sect and the Liulan Sect, which are not the same thing as our Hu family. !”
"That......"
The lanky monk wanted to argue.
But looking at the Hu family monks who were staring at him with eager eyes, his anger immediately weakened a lot, and he turned around and walked away: "Then it's not enough for me to survive."
...
