Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

In the eastern area of ​​Qiyun Fairy City, in Liuhua Garden, disciples of Qingyuan Sect constantly led different cultivators in.

Led by a Qingyuan Sect disciple who was at the foundation-building stage, Zhang Suifeng, a Jindan cultivator, looked very polite at this moment.

Behind the Jindan cultivator, the foundation-building cultivator who used to be so high and mighty can now only serve as a follower, following silently.

"What is your name, young friend? Are you willing to marry me?"

Zhang Suifeng led his disciples forward and took the opportunity to ask questions to the Qingyuan Sect disciples who were leading the way.

Gu Changfeng was speechless. This was the third time Zhang Suifeng had asked this question today.

He was sent to welcome the guests and lead the monks from various families present today into the garden. Jiang Tianfang naturally liked him because of his handsome appearance and steady manner in dealing with people.

However, Jiang Tianfang had not expected that within just a few minutes, several Jindan cultivators wanted to propose marriage to Gu Changfeng.

"I am still young and unmarried, and I am devoted to Taoism."

Before Gu Changfeng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Suifeng:

"Still young? That's even better. No, my friend, you are very handsome. I have a young daughter at home. She is 28 years old, beautiful, gentle and kind. I think she is a perfect match for you. How about you find a time to meet her some other day?"

Gu Changfeng was stunned. If I agree to you, what about the first two?

Fortunately, Liuhua Garden was not too big, and everyone reached the end in just a few steps.

Jiang Tianfang came up to help Gu Changfeng out:

"Senior Zhang, I am so sorry for not being able to come and greet you."

Seeing Jiang Tianfang, the actual boss of Qingyuan Sect in Qiyun City, Zhang Suifeng smiled brightly:

"Deacon Jiang, thank you for your trouble. Is it time to start?"

As Zhang Suifeng followed Jiang Tianfang inside, he signaled to his disciple to stay here and persuade Gu Changfeng, and then the two of them walked into the garden side by side.

There were already quite a few monks seated in the garden, and Zhang Suifeng took a quick look and recognized them all.

"Oh, Mr. Du, you are here too. Madam Hua, how are you these days?"

Zhang Suifeng greeted everyone everywhere, and everyone stood up to respond. After they were done with all that, Jiang Tianfang led him to a seat, and then said softly:

"Please wait for a moment, Senior Zhang. There are still two families who have not yet entered."

Zhang Suifeng said with a smile:

"That's fine, Deacon Jiang, just go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

Jiang Tianfang apologized and said goodbye, then left the garden and went outside to greet people.

Zhang Suifeng took a closer look at the opponents who came today. After today, these people will either become opponents or teammates.

Today's occasion was a banquet hosted by the Qingyuan Sect for their Nascent Soul ancestor Fang Qingyuan, and the guests invited were all leaders of the Jindan forces.

When these people received invitations from disciples of Qingyuan Sect, they were very excited, because this meant that their forces had received initial recognition from Qingyuan Sect.

No, it was Fang Qingyuan's initial recognition. Without Fang Qingyuan, Qingyuan Sect would be nothing. Who would care about what Jiang Tianfang, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, said in Qiyun City?

Without Fang Qingyuan in charge, how could Zhang Suifeng be so polite to Jiang Tianfang? And the seven or eight Jindan cultivators present were not so well-behaved.

As time slowly passed, the remaining forces were welcomed in by the disciples of Qingyuan Sect. Zhang Suifeng took a quick look and pondered in his heart.

There are now more than a dozen Jindan forces on the field. Some of the cultivators are unfamiliar to me, a local resident of Qiyun City. It is obvious that they were brought from places outside the city.

Among the familiar monks, the distribution of their industries is also quite different. Some are engaged in the sale of spiritual medicines, some are good at operating animal ships, and there are also owners of large businesses, such as Mrs. Hua.

The remaining unfamiliar faces, compared to the familiar faces in the city, were calmer but also more murderous.

At first glance, they are the characters who often fight outside Qiyun. I wonder what Qingyuan Sect hired these people for?

Just as Zhang Suifeng was thinking secretly, three chimes rang out and Fang Qingyuan's figure appeared from the back of the garden.

There was a rustling sound of sleeves rubbing against each other, and everyone stood up, and then they all said in unison:

"We've met Sect Master Fang!"

Fang Qingyuan came to the main seat, waved his hand to signal everyone to take a seat, and then said with a smile:

"I would like to ask all the sect leaders, family heads, and shopkeepers to take time out of their busy schedules to come here. I have something to ask of you. Recently, my sect is short of manpower and we are in need of some business partners. If you are interested, you can tell me now."

After saying these polite words, Fang Qingyuan carefully observed the reactions of these Jindan cultivators.

There are a total of thirteen Jindan cultivators, representing thirteen Jindan-level forces. These forces were invited here by Qingyuan Sect after they had collected information in advance and eliminated some of them.

According to Fang Qingyuan's understanding, the second round is now underway and these Jindan forces have passed the initial screening.

After screening out those forces with bad reputations or overly complicated historical problems, there are still many forces that have been selected.

Even though there were so many Nascent Soul cultivators who came to support Fang Qingyuan's Nascent Soul Ceremony that day, according to time calculations, the Qiyun Sect could not guarantee that there would be a stable Nascent Soul cultivator every twenty years.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator emerges, he or she will not belong to the Tian Chang of Qiyun Fairy City. They will either belong to the various aristocratic families of Qiyun, or endure the days of hardship and wait for future wars to seek a career, or accumulate merits and wait for the sect to allocate spiritual land.

Like Fang Qingyuan, a newly promoted Nascent Soul, with roots outside the area and no powerful forces following him, he was still valued by Tian Chang. The Nascent Soul Ceremony was held so brilliantly, which was unique in the entire Qiyun Fairy City in the past few hundred years.

This has attracted the attention of various Jindan forces, and even the disciples of Qingyuan Sect have become the objects of marriage proposals from various forces in recent days.

Of course, ordinary disciples only have illegitimate children from each family. For foundation-building disciples like Gu Changfeng who look promising, these Jindan forces will send their own legitimate children.

In the absence of the God Transformation Patriarch, any Nascent Soul cultivator in Qiyun Immortal City would be a great supporter.

Fang Qingyuan's backing seemed particularly reliable, which was why these Jindan forces were attracted to him.

After Fang Qingyuan finished his polite words, everyone started to express their own wishes.

"Our Li family has been running the spiritual field and spiritual rice business for generations. Near Dongming Mountain, we have nearly 10,000 acres of first-grade spiritual fields, more than 1,000 acres of second-grade spiritual fields, and 19 acres of third-grade spiritual fields. We can produce more than 100,000 dan of spiritual rice every year. Various second-grade and third-grade spiritual rice are sold far and wide inside and outside Qiyun. If Sect Master Fang is willing, our Li family is willing to entrust all these spiritual fields to you."

The person who spoke was Li Daoming, the patriarch of the Li family. As Fang Qingyuan listened to him, the information about the Li family that he had collected in advance flashed through his mind.

Regardless of whether the scale of the industry that Li Daoming just mentioned was exaggerated, even if Li Daoming said that he was entrusting the whole family to him, Fang Qingyuan just listened to it and didn't need to take it seriously.

The Li family owns a lot of spiritual fields in Dongming Mountain, but many of them cannot be completely owned by the Li family. This involves hundreds of years of history. When the Li family was in trouble, they practiced the principle of equal rights for renting and selling, which resulted in a large part of the spiritual fields' deeds being divided into several parts.

The farmers who worked the land for the Li family also had some land deeds in their hands, which they then resold, making the problem very complicated.

But the reason why the Li family wanted to join the Qingyuan Sect was that one of the ways for the Li family to pay tribute was cut off, so they wanted to find another big leg to rely on urgently.

Other Nascent Soul cultivators thought Dongming Mountain was too far away and the spiritual rice industry was too low-end, and were unwilling to accept it.

But Fang Qingyuan did not despise it. With the spiritual fields of the Li family, the spiritual rice produced in his immortal palace would have a place of origin that could be announced to the outside world. The Li family would play a role in concealing the truth. This was why Fang Qingyuan valued the Li family.

We can't just take out so much spiritual rice as we did in Baishan. It would be safer to pass it on to the Li family.

In response to Li Daoming's proposal, Fang Qingyuan smiled and said a few words to comfort him, which was regarded as an acknowledgement of Li Daoming's loyalty.

With this good start, the remaining Jindan forces began to introduce their own situations.

There are thirteen forces in total, and Fang Qingyuan cannot recruit all of them. Five or six at most will be enough. Any more will break the rules.

Yes, Nascent Soul cultivators also have to abide by the unspoken rules of Qiyun City. As an early Nascent Soul cultivator, Fang Qingyuan can protect five or six Golden Core forces. Any more would seem too greedy.

Qiyun is a place where rules are followed everywhere. No matter whether they are the rules in public or in private, they must be followed.

Of course, you can also choose not to comply, as long as you can bear the consequences of breaking the rules. However, Fang Qingyuan does not want to break Qi Yun's unspoken rules for the time being.

Among the thirteen families, Fang Qingyuan is mainly optimistic about three, namely the Li family that grows spiritual rice, the Wen family with strong fighting power, and Mrs. Hua who is good at business coordination.

The Wen family has two golden elixirs, a pair of brothers, both of whom are direct descendants of the Wen family, not hired guest cultivators.

The two brothers of the Wen family are quite capable in combat, but they are ugly and are said to have the blood of a strange monster. Naturally, they are out of place in the Qiyun area. The people of Qiyun do not like such tough cultivators. If the brothers of the Wen family were proficient in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could do some writing, that would be considered a skill.

Previously, the Wen brothers had also planned to seek refuge with a Nascent Soul cultivator and make a living in Qiyun, but they were both despised for being rude and inflexible, and were not valued after seeking refuge there. After a long time, the Wen brothers withdrew again.

The reputation of the Wen brothers is now ruined, although it was not much to begin with.

Fang Qingyuan felt that this was mainly due to the bloodline issues left by the Wen brothers. Although Qi Yun was tolerant, he still had reservations about this kind of cultivator.

It's not just Qi Yun. The Beast Taming Sect doesn't like this kind of cultivator who is suspected to have half-demon blood.

The so-called half-demon is a cultivator with characteristics of atavism. One of their ancestors may have eaten the flesh, elixir, crystal core and other things of a powerful monster that were helpful for cultivation, but they were not completely digested and were contaminated. There is a probability that their offspring born later will show this atavism, commonly known as half-demon.

This is certainly not caused by the illicit love between humans and alien beasts. Thank God, the theory of reproductive isolation still exists in this world.

Originally, the Wen brothers were disheartened and not ready to fight anymore, but after receiving Fang Qingyuan's handwritten letter, they felt that they were valued, so they traveled thousands of miles to come to Qiyun City again.

Well, as for how the Wen brothers, who were living in a remote area, came into Fang Qingyuan's sight, it had to do with the one Fang Qingyuan valued the most.

Mrs. Hua, her real name is no longer known. Hua is the surname of her husband's family. However, not long after Mrs. Hua got married, her husband was robbed during a business trip and lost both his life and his money.

Mrs. Hua, who suffered a great blow, turned the tide under the circumstances. She stabilized her employer who had suffered losses, pledged her entire fortune for loans, and then personally led the remaining monks to complete the orders again, thus preserving her reputation.

Later, under the leadership of Mrs. Hua, the business of her husband's family grew bigger and bigger, and soon surpassed the scale of her husband's business.

The two brothers of the Wen family were hired by Madam Hua to do a few business deals because they were short of money. They became friends with her and now that Fang Qingyuan was short of people, they were introduced to her.

The Li family owns land, the Wen family is good at fighting, and Mrs. Hua is courageous, knowledgeable, and has a good business sense. These are what Fang Qingyuan needs.

For the remaining, he could select three vassals from these forces, and this would allow him to initially form his own team in Qiyun. At this point, he would have some truly useful people in his hands.

The chance of a Jindan cultivator being promoted to the Yuanying stage is very low. Except for Qi Yun's direct disciples, for the other Jindan leaders, if one out of ten can succeed, it would be a stroke of luck.

It is normal if not even one of them succeeds and all die in the thunder tribulation.

In the Qiyun area, there are two types of Jindan cultivators: one is Qiyun disciples, and the other is others.

So even though Fang Qingyuan only advanced from Jindan to Yuanying, and only crossed one major realm, he has so many Jindan forces loyal to him. This is what he deserves.

After a long period of commotion, Fang Qingyuan finally left six Jindan forces present, and asked Jiang Tianfang to present gifts to the rest to thank them for coming.

Those who left were filled with regret and loss, while those who stayed were smiling happily. Just one step difference meant that the two forces would take different paths in the next few hundred years.

Among the six forces that remained, in addition to the three that Fang Qingyuan had favored before, there was also the Zhang family, which was good at making flying shuttle beast ships, the Wang family, which had many restaurants and gardens in Qiyun City, and the Ming family, who had a profound family tradition, made many friends, had many teaching positions in the Qiyun Academy, and managed their family with poetry and books.

The Zhang family is Zhang Suifeng. Their family has an ancestral shipyard in Qiyun City, which produces some beast ships and flying shuttles. However, it has been severely suppressed recently, and orders are scarce. It seems that they are about to go bankrupt.

Fang Qingyuan recruited him because he valued his shipbuilding industry. Although the Zhang family has declined, they still have hundreds of skilled shipbuilders. This is a complete shipbuilding team. As long as there are enough materials, they can operate at full capacity at any time.

The ancestor of the Wang family was a spiritual food master. The cultivators of this lineage were not good at fighting, but only good at cooking. In Qiyun, the Wang family was once prominent and even received praise from Tian Chang, which made the Wang family famous.

But when it was passed down to Wang Jingxu's generation, various problems arose, including the changes in recipes, some ingredients became extinct, and some techniques were lost.

Coupled with the internal strife among the other families and the external siege by the new restaurant, the Wang family is also having a hard time. Seeing that the garden left by their ancestors is about to be sold, Wang Jingxu has no choice but to find Jiang Tianfang and offer the Liuhua Garden in exchange for Fang Qingyuan's protection.

Liuhua Garden is located in the East District 1 and covers a large area of ​​eight acres. It can be said that every inch of land is worth a lot of money. If it were to be sold, it would be a priceless treasure.

But if he really wanted to sell it, he couldn't do it for a while, and the price was maliciously lowered. If he sold it, he would have to distribute the money and spiritual stones to other families. Wang Jingxu was so angry that he simply overturned the table and said, "I'll give it away as a gift, and none of you can think about it."

So when Fang Qingyuan knew about this situation, he accepted it with a smile. Anyway, Qingyuan Sect had no place to stay for the time being, and Liuhua Garden was large and in a good location, so he accepted it.

After receiving it, Fang Qingyuan came forward to appease the Wang family, designated Wang Jingxu as the head of the family, and contacted other forces to ask them to give up the siege of the Wang family's industry and calm the matter down.

Fang Qingyuan solved the problem that gave Wang Jingxu a headache in just a few days. This is the huge gap in their status.

In return, Wang Jingxu served Fang Qingyuan with peace of mind, and Fang Qingyuan also included the Wang family as his vassal and gave them protection. In the future, if any force wants to touch the Wang family, they must first deal with Fang Qingyuan.

As for the last family, the Ming family, has no money, no property, and no power. The Ming family members are very small, less than a hundred people, including only one Jindan and five foundation-building cultivators.

But the biggest difference between the Ming family and other forces is that the Ming family is very good at fighting. This is not a battle of martial arts, but a war of words in the newspapers, which means that the Ming family is particularly good at scolding people.

The Ming family came into Fang Qingyuan's sight because they were the strongest trolls of the "Qiyun Daily". Among a number of new newspapers, the old status of the "Qiyun Daily" was always defended because of the articles written by the Ming family.

Perhaps it was out of approval of Fang Qingyuan's action of publishing a newspaper that when the Ming family learned that Fang Qingyuan wanted to recruit them, they readily agreed.

Of course, it is not clear whether this is because he has offended too many people and is facing retaliation, so he is looking for a backer to avoid disaster.

In short, the six Jindan forces selected by Fang Qingyuan each have their own role. After today, Fang Qingyuan will no longer have to rely solely on the foundation-building and Qi-refining disciples of Qingyuan Sect to run errands.

Of course, the foundation is still the Qingyuan Sect, and these are just vassal forces. Fang Qingyuan cannot do anything to put the cart before the horse, but no matter how to say it, Fang Qingyuan's foundation has become more solid, and the rest is just slow development.

Therefore, after initially sorting out these vassal forces, letting everyone get along with each other, and assigning some tasks to everyone.

Fang Qingyuan quietly set out from Qiyun and headed for the Baishan area, where he had some things to finish.
