Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

Fang Qingyuan was not surprised to hear Zhu Xinye's words. The Luo family's spiritual land was of the fourth-grade mid-level quality, so it was naturally something that attracted people's attention.

As the saying goes, no one fights for bad land, but good land is fought over by everyone. There must be Yuanying cultivators within the Qiyun Sect who want to occupy the Luo family's spiritual land as their own inheritance.

Right now, it all depends on your ability.

Obviously, what Patriarch Zhou had promised him before was not to directly transfer a fourth-grade mid-quality spiritual land to his name.

Putting aside whether Patriarch Zhou’s power is that great or not, he could give the spiritual land belonging to the Luo family to himself, an outsider, under the noses of a group of Yuanying cultivators from the Qiyun Sect.

Even if Patriarch Zhou has this ability, why would he directly give this sacred land to himself?

A fourth-grade, mid-quality spiritual land is worth a Nascent Soul cultivator’s life to obtain, and it is a true legacy that can be passed down for thousands of years.

In order to ease the relationship with me, Patriarch Zhou went with the flow and did me a favor by revealing the news to me.

Fang Qingyuan never believed in other people's promises to him, because in this world, anything anyone promised you might not count, only what you said yourself counted.

"I wonder if any of you fellow Taoists would also like to obtain the Luo family's sacred land? Can you brothers help me solve my doubts?"

Fang Qingyuan was sincere and asked for advice sincerely. This matter did not have a direct conflict of interest with Zhu Xinye, so he was naturally happy to give face to Fang Qingyuan.

Then Zhu Xinye said:

"As far as I know, there are a few families that are interested, but they are just thinking about it. The only family that has the real power to take action is the Hu family."

"The Hu family? Doesn't their family have a fourth-tier spiritual land? Why are they plotting against the Luo family?"

Wan Tianluo on the side took over the conversation, and it was obvious that he had just learned the news.

Zhu Xinye glanced at him and said with a hint of pride:

"In terms of the foundation of information collection, your Wanbao Pavilion is still far behind our Guanghui Pavilion."

"You are such a show-off, we just don't pay attention to these things."

Fang Qingyuan was also recalling the information about the Hu family. After three years in Qiyun, he was no longer unfamiliar with the many families in the Qiyun sect. Basically, Fang Qingyuan knew everything about these families.

The Hu family can barely squeeze into the ranks of the Qiyun faction's aristocratic families. In Qiyun, it is not easy for a Nascent Soul family to be called an aristocratic family.

At least this Yuanying family must have a fourth-level spiritual land within Qiyun as the foundation of the family.

Otherwise, you are just a Nascent Soul cultivator. If you don’t have your own family spiritual land, do you still have the nerve to call yourself a noble family?

Secondly, as a Nascent Soul family, there must be at least two Nascent Soul cultivators in the family. This can prove that your family inheritance is orderly and not a flash in the pan.

As for which mountain in Qiyun one is from, what position one holds internally, which lineage one's ancestors are from, what one's background is, and how many years one has been inherited in Qiyun, these are all separate conditions to be calculated.

These two hard conditions are far less important than the number of spiritual lands and Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Hu family, on the other hand, owns their own fourth-tier spiritual land and has two Nascent Soul cultivators, which just barely meets the standards of a Qiyun family, so they can be called a Qiyun family.

"Then, Hu Wanshan, do you want to change the grade of your spiritual land?"

Wan Tianluo speculated, and Zhu Xinye nodded:

"He did have this idea. The spiritual land of his Hu family was obtained by him as a reward for his meritorious service. But at that time, there was no good fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual land in the sect, so he could only choose a fourth-grade lower-grade spiritual land. Now the second Yuanying of the Hu family has been born. Two Yuanying cultivators are squeezed on a fourth-grade lower-grade land. If it were you, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"

Wan Tianluo nodded in agreement with Zhu Xinye's words. Indeed, a fourth-order lower-grade spiritual land could only support one Nascent Soul cultivator to cultivate, and at most a few Golden Core disciples, and support more than a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators. If another Nascent Soul cultivator was added, it would be very difficult.

It’s like a bed in a dormitory that is not big enough to sleep on it with one person, but if you add one more person, it becomes extremely difficult.

However, the fourth-grade intermediate spiritual land is different. It is equivalent to a two-meter-wide bed, which is big enough for two people.

It was obvious that Hu Wanshan wanted to change his own spiritual place and give himself a comfortable environment for practice.

But if Hu Wanshan wants to change, the Luo family will definitely not agree, because the Luo family is destined not to get Hu Wanshan’s family sacred land.

It is against the rules for the Luo family to occupy their original sacred land and not move out.

But there are many things that are not in compliance with the rules. As long as they are not reported and no one cares, there is no problem.

If Hu Wanshan were to change the place, he would have to put the Luo family on the scale to be weighed. If they were not weighed, it would only be a matter of a few taels, but once they were weighed by Hu Wanshan, they would weigh thousands of pounds.

In this way, the Luo family will no longer be qualified to occupy any fourth-tier spiritual land, because the Luo family does not have a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In that case, I am no longer in competition with the Hu family. As long as I change my goals a little, wouldn't it be a win-win situation for both sides?

Fang Qingyuan asked himself, he only wanted a fourth-level spiritual land, and he didn't care whether this fourth-level spiritual land belonged to the Luo family or the Hu family.

At present, for Fang Qingyuan himself, a fourth-order lower-grade spiritual land is enough for him to use. It is hard to say whether he can cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator in the next few hundred years.

Who can I count on? Jiang Wanqin? Fang Qingyuan would be satisfied if she could successfully form a pill, but as for achieving the Nascent Soul stage, Fang Qingyuan never counted on her.

Absolutely flawless?

Fang Qingyuan felt that Jue Wugui could form a pill, but Nascent Soul? No one could say for sure.

Or Qiqi?

Forget it, just get a piece of fourth-level spiritual land first to provide a stable foundation for the forces under my command, and plan other things later.

Fang Qingyuan was thinking this, and then he realized that Zhu Xinye was looking at him.

"Do you still want me to introduce you to the heads of the Zhao and Luo families?"

Zhu Xinye's expression was half-smile, Fang Qingyuan immediately understood, and he continued:

"I was wrong before. The heads of the Zhao and Luo families are not the key now. The key lies in Hu Wanshan. Since you brothers have pointed this person out, I believe you have already made plans for me."

"You are indeed wise. Yes, I have a good relationship with Hu Wanshan. If I can help you, your vision will most likely be achieved. But what can I gain from it?"

Zhu Xinye said these words openly, which made Fang Qingyuan a little stunned. Zhu Xinye's behavior this time was not like the style of Qiyun School.

"Let's talk business. I come from Guanghui Pavilion, so I have to make a profit. Since I have helped you, you should also give something in return. Do you agree with this?"

There was no reason for Fang Qingyuan not to agree. He was the one who most adhered to this theory. He did not expect Zhu Xinye to help him for no reason.

"Brothers, please speak up. As long as I have it, you can ask for it."

Zhu Xinye glanced at Wan Tianluo and said:

"I'm not interested in anything else, I'm only interested in your theory, [Spiritual Power Network], right? I think that's the term. If this thing is accomplished, how about you give me 20% of the shares?"

After hearing this, Fang Qingyuan suddenly realized that Zhu Xinye was interested in this.

But his second plan has not even started yet. Why is Zhu Xinye so sure that he will succeed and ask for equity in advance?

As if seeing Fang Qingyuan's doubts, Zhu Xinye explained:

"The emergence of 'Qiyun Daily' has changed the pattern of Qiyun City, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Now, the literary and Taoist rhymes are prominent in the city. There are dozens of newspapers with different viewpoints published every day, and thousands of monks submit articles every day to debate with each other.

This is my Qiyun style, this is the image of prosperity.

This magnificent scene was created by you, and we heard that you have further measures that have not been used yet. How can we not be excited?"

Fang Qingyuan listened to Zhu Xinye's explanation and he immediately understood that the workshop in East District 5 that was researching spiritual power receiving instruments had been exposed.

Come to think of it, how could this be hidden from powerful people like Zhu Xinye and Wan Tianluo?

Wan Tianluo is in charge of the transformation of seven markets in the western district. One can imagine how powerful he is.

And Zhu Xinye is even above Wan Tianluo. If the two of them want to know the situation in Qiyun Immortal City, there is no way they can hide anything.

The most important thing is that Fang Qingyuan suspected that it was Tian Jin who informed these two people, because Fang Qingyuan only mentioned the term "Spiritual Power Network" to Tian Jin once.

It seems that Wan Tianluo and Zhu Xinye have a very close relationship with Tian Jin, and it is obvious that these two are Tian Jin's allies.

Zhu Xinye chose to help himself, and Tian Jin's relationship also played a role in it.

After all, he still benefited from the Tian family. Fang Qingyuan saw this very clearly.

However, Zhu Xinye wanted 20% at once, which was too much. Zhu Xinye might not be clear about the future scale of the [Spiritual Power Network]. Although he was interested in it and willing to invest, he really couldn't imagine how grand the [Spiritual Power Network] would be in the future.

"Twenty percent of the equity? That's too high, but since you asked, twenty percent is twenty percent. However, I'll tell you in advance that this twenty percent is for the next phase, excluding the income from Qiyun Daily and the income from the possible development of new products in the future."

Zhu Xinye thought about it and finally nodded in agreement. He didn't think highly of the current profits from "Qiyun Daily". As for the future profits from new products, Zhu Xinye also felt that it was not appropriate for him to take it just because of this favor.

Seeing Fang Qingyuan and Zhu Xinye reach an agreement in a few words, Wan Tianluo on the side said:

"How come you two forgot about me? I want to get involved in this deal, so give me 20% of the capital."

Zhu Xinye sneered:

"Why are you here to join in the fun? I'm using the ownership of a fourth-level spiritual land in exchange for it. What can you give me?"

Wan Tianluo chuckled:

"I don't have the same connections as you, but I can offer a few good workshops and alchemy rooms to exchange with Brother Fang. If you are willing, Brother Fang, I will let you invest in a few third-level workshops and alchemy rooms under my name. How about we exchange capital?"

Before Fang Qingyuan could speak, Zhu Xinye said in surprise:

"Old Wan, are you willing to give it up? These alchemy workshops are all gooses that lay golden eggs. Are you willing to exchange them for shares in an industry with unknown prospects?"

"You are optimistic about it, so how can I not follow? Even if I lose money on this business, I will regard it as an investment in Brother Fang. When I succeed next time, Brother Fang will not treat me unfairly."

After the seemingly generous Wan Tianluo said this, Fang Qingyuan was speechless, so Fang Qingyuan had to agree to Wan Tianluo's stock exchange plan, using 5% of the equity of each of his four third-level workshops for making talismans, refining instruments, refining pills, and refining array plates in exchange for 20% of the equity of Fang Qingyuan's Spiritual Power Collecting Instrument Workshop.

The three of them initially drafted a contract and each signed their real names. After doing all this, Fang Qingyuan felt that his relationship with these two people had become much closer.

"Brother Fang, do you want to take on some of the renovation work for the seven blocks in the west this time? That's fine. If you are willing to do it, I can give you one of the blocks. How about West Block 17?

The situation in this market is relatively not that complicated, so it is just right for you to practice. If you succeed, you will be qualified to handle such matters in the future."

Wan Tianluo was very thoughtful and generous. He directly provided a market town for Fang Qingyuan to build. Originally, Fang Qingyuan thought that he could only get some minor projects.

It was obvious that Wan Tianluo regarded Fang Qingyuan as his own. If it was Fang Qingyuan who had not yet joined the Qiyun City Conference Cabinet, Wan Tianluo would obviously not be so polite.

Fang Qingyuan was naturally willing, and after thanking Wan Tianluo, the three of them began to drink and discuss Taoism.

Wan Tianluo and Zhu Xinye were both in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. They were both Qiyun Taoists before. The Taoist methods and alchemy theories they mastered were completely overwhelming compared to those in Baishan.

When it comes to Taoism, he can often give Fang Qingyuan some valuable advice.

Fang Qingyuan's advantage lies in his extensive knowledge of Taoism and his profound foundation. Although he spent most of the time listening to the two people arguing, he would occasionally say something that hit the point and made the two of them think deeply.

When discussing the Dao, one is not concerned with worldly affairs; the Great Dao is hidden within. Nascent Soul cultivators often discuss the Dao for ten days or half a month at most, because when they start arguing and each of them presents their own methods, the time can easily be extended by several days.

Half a month later, Zhu Xinye slapped his forehead and hurriedly took Fang Qingyuan to fly to Qiyun Mountain.

"I almost missed the appointment with Hu Wanshan. Talking about the truth will lead to delays."

When they arrived at Hu Family Fairy Mountain, a burly man came out of the mountain to greet them with a feminine and handsome young man.

"Brothers, you've kept me waiting for so long. This must be Brother Fang, please come in quickly."

Hu Wanshan was very enthusiastic, but the beautiful young man next to him was not good at speaking. He said nothing, but just glanced at Fang Qingyuan with his pair of almond-shaped eyes.

"I have met Brother Wanshan and Brother Qianji."

"Qianji greets Junior Brother Fang. It's a courtesy."

Hu Qianji's voice is rather cold and his expression is rather dull, giving people a feeling that he is difficult to approach.

But Fang Qingyuan's spiritual power could quietly sense that this Senior Brother Qianji's heart was not as cold and hard as his appearance.

After a brief chat at the door, the four of them walked into the spiritual land. Along the way, Hu Wanshan couldn't help but say:

“Brothers, look at this sacred land. To be honest, I really don’t want to give it up. I have been managing it for nearly 500 years. Every blade of grass and every tree here was planted by me.

When Qianji was a child, he also played here. Do you see that lake? I still remember that Qianji was practicing the Water Avoidance Technique at that time. He soaked himself underwater for three days and nights and didn't come out. I felt something was wrong, so I went down to take a look. I didn't expect that this kid almost drowned in it, hahahaha!"

Qian Ji on the side unconsciously quickened his pace and walked ahead.

Hu Wanshan didn't care and continued to express his feelings for this sacred place.

Fang Qingyuan only understood one sentence from what he heard over and over again, which was that if he wanted this sacred land, he had to pay more.

Fang Qingyuan ignored Hu Wanshan's words and asked Zhu Xinye to deal with him. When it comes to bargaining, this guy is a professional.

He admired the layout of the spiritual land in front of him. The Hu family's spiritual land occupied a total of five hills. The hill in the center was the gathering point of the fourth-level spiritual land, and this was also the cave where Hu Wanshan and Hu Qianji practiced.

On the other four peaks, there live monks and descendants of the Hu family, and together there are about two thousand people.

These are the direct relatives of the Hu family, and those mortals from the side branches naturally have no qualifications to stay here. They are all settled in the villages under the mountains or live in the Qiyun Fairy City.

The Hu Family Sacred Land covers a total area of ​​about 8,000 hectares, where mountain streams converge from various mountain peaks and flow along the paths scoured out over thousands of years into the lake in the center.

The forest composed of thousand-year-old trees is full of vitality, with vines and flowers blooming, dotted around, attracting bees and butterflies.

Carefully cultivated spiritual herbs can be seen everywhere, and the free-range spiritual deer and cranes are not afraid of strangers at all and are walking and strolling leisurely.

The spiritual fields and medicinal gardens are also well managed. The spiritual energy is everywhere and is divided according to the rules of the formation, exuding a harmonious beauty everywhere.

Fang Qingyuan fell in love with this place at first sight. Compared with the cave dwelling of only forty acres in Qiyun City, and compared with the narrow mountain top of Baishan Tianying Territory, the environment here can truly be called a fairyland.

Hu Wanshan really meant what he said. If it weren't for Hu Qianji, a newly promoted Nascent Soul, he would not have been willing to change the spiritual land that he had worked so hard to build.

If the Hu family could obtain the Luo family's fourth-grade intermediate spiritual land and transfer it to themselves, everything would be perfect.

So, can things really go so smoothly?
