Yunmeng Peak

Chapter 171
In name, this square city is jointly controlled by the Zhuji family of the entire Huaishui County, but in fact it is not the case.

The Li family in Huaiyang and the Wang family in Tianlingshan, because of the existence of the peak foundation monks in the clan, the two families respectively occupy [-]% of the shares in Huaishuifang City. However, the rest of the share needs to be allocated to more than a dozen foundation-building families. After such a division, these foundation-building families only have hundreds of spirit stones every year.

In fact, decades ago, the Wang and Li families only occupied [-]% of Huaishuifang City, and the other half was snatched from the Yunmeng Cheng family, so the Cheng family has not received it for decades. The dividends of Huaishuifang City have been paid.

This is also the result of the fact that the strength of the Cheng family has been greatly reduced, and there are not many foundation-building monks in the family, so they were forced to give up the benefits. save.

Now that the Cheng family has strength, it is natural to take back the benefits that belonged to the Cheng family in a high-profile manner.

Although the current Cheng family has not increased the number of foundation-building monks by a few, the annual salary of these foundation-building monks requires thousands of spirit stones, which is difficult for the current Cheng family to pay.

In other words, the Cheng family has owed the salary of several old foundation-builder monks of the family for more than ten years.

Now is the time to regain the resource points that belonged to the Cheng family and change the Cheng family's current deficit.

"Uncle 36, how much of the Huaishuifang City does Jiu Ye plan to return to?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiangshun looked at the young man in front of him with a flash of relief in his eyes, and said with a smile. "At least [-]% share!"

"Master Jiu doesn't mean he just wants to get back [-]% of the share?"

Cheng Xiangshun nodded, raised his brows slightly and said, "My Cheng family now has a big brother, a peak foundation cultivator, and Uncle Ninth has successfully entered the late stage of foundation establishment. With his comprehension of the formation method and his natal magic weapon, it is enough to be extraordinary. For ordinary late-stage foundation-establishment monks, it is now even enough to tie with the big brother, and the strength is really strong. As for the nineteenth aunt, needless to say, with her advantage of dual cultivation of law and body, even a late-stage foundation-establishment monk can also fight A fight!"

Cheng Qi was a little shocked when he heard the news.

"I didn't expect Master Jiu to be so powerful. He deserves to be the No. 1 formation in Huaishui County. If that's the case..."

He understood early on that in the world of cultivating immortals, strength is the most respected, and the same is true for the distribution of shares in Huaishuifang City. Strength determines the shares of each family.

Hundreds of years ago, when Cheng Ruiguang, the ancestor of the Cheng family, was alive, he overshadowed all the immortal cultivators in Huaishui County, and even won a [-]% share of Huaishuifang City. Get about three thousand spirit stones.

Three thousand spirit stones per year, 30 spirit stones in ten years, and [-] spirit stones in a hundred years, under such huge spirit stones, we can see the strength of the Cheng family back then.

Hundreds of years ago, the Cheng family was also rich and powerful. They spent hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, and directly used the spiritual stones to accumulate the third-order high-grade spiritual veins in Qingcang Lake into fourth-order spiritual veins, and also took advantage of the trend to convert the spiritual veins in their own territory The spiritual veins of all towns have been cultivated to the second-order high-grade spiritual veins.

But since Cheng Ruiguang's death, there is no longer a monk who can take on the heavy responsibility of the Cheng family, and the share has changed from [-]% to [-]%.

Then there was a beast horde, Qing Cang Lake was robbed, hundreds of members of the Cheng family were forced to flee to Yunmeng Mountain, and thus took root in Yunmeng Mountain.

With his thoughts back together, Cheng Qifeng frowned, sighed softly, and spoke again. "Uncle 36, the Wang and Li families put us together, and now we want to get back the share of Huaishui County, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Cheng Xiangshun heard the words, smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu said, if they don't give it, they will have a competition. Until they give it, according to the old rules of our Huaishui County, all the Jianji families in Huaishui County will have a competition." The market will determine the tax distribution of Huaishuifang City with its strength."

Speaking of this, Cheng Xiangshun had a weird smile on his face, and spoke again. "It's just a chance for our Yunmengcheng family to host a banquet for you and Qi Peng, and entertain the various foundation-building families. It also saves us from making a trip later to invite people from the foundation-building fairy clans."

Cheng Qifeng nodded, his words were unreasonable.

As early as when Huaishui Fang City was established, a method for tax distribution in Fang City was established.

According to the rules when Fang City was established, the distribution of Huaishuifang City is divided according to the level of strength, which is the so-called competition. Of course, if your family has dozens of foundation-building monks, Huaishuifang City can be your home. But that's not realistic.

If a foundation-building immortal clan is dissatisfied with the distribution of Fang City's tax revenue, they can change it, just call other foundation-building fairy clans for a competition.

According to the system of two wins in three rounds, the winner's family will get the share of the loser's family.

The rules of this competition can actually be defined as a way to deter other cultivating families. After all, the Qingyang Sect still expressly prohibits the major immortal clans who established the foundation from fighting each other.

Cheng Qifeng thought about it in his heart, and felt that this matter was very important, and there was a gleam of joy in his eyes. The strength of the family is the strength of the monks of the family, thinking to himself.

"Although Uncle has not broken through for a long time, but with the strength of the monk who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and because of the Nine Layers of Xuanshuizhu, the natal magic weapon, judging from the situation in the beast tide, even the Foundation Establishment of the Wang and Li families It’s not much worse than a peak cultivator.”

"Uncle 36, do you need me to do something?" Cheng Qifeng asked.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiangshun nodded and said with a wry smile. "Now the family's foundation-building monks have been dispatched, and Brother 23 is going to refine talismans in the family. After all, the family's talismans have been exhausted in this beast tide. Uncle Jiu wants to build Yunmeng Mountain, and I want to build a talisman." Pingyang Fang City, in order to avoid minor disasters at night, there are still a lot of elixirs in the clan because of the efforts of Liu Shu during his lifetime, plus your refining over the past half a year, so..."

Cheng Qifeng nodded and understood what Cheng Xiangshun meant, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction. He could understand and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk about. After I recover the spiritual power that I just consumed in refining the elixir, I will leave immediately. Tomorrow at the latest , I will go to the various Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans to tell the news!"

Although it is a small matter to invite all the foundation-building immortals to the banquet, it is related to the competition in Huaishuifang City. If only a Qi training monk is sent to invite, it will make the foundation-building immortals of Huaishui County feel that The Cheng family put on too much airs.

Cheng Qifeng was originally one of the protagonists of this banquet. In addition, during this beast tide, he was famous and powerful. If he went to invite him, it would also make those Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans have a lot of face and feel better. .

Cheng Xiangshun heard the words, nodded with a smile, then nodded and opened his mouth.

"Then I'll take this batch of pills back to Yunmeng Mountain first. Pingyangfang City is really a mixed bag. If there is no foundation-builder cultivator in the town, it won't be long before there will be chaos!"

"By the way, the banquet is scheduled for two months later!"

After all, Cheng Xiang took the flying magic weapon and hurriedly flew away from here.

Cheng Qifeng looked at his figure, with a wry smile on his face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Uncle 36 is really busy. It would be great if there were more foundation-building monks in the family!"

The reason why Cheng Xiangshun, a foundation cultivator, was allowed to deliver the elixir that Cheng Qifeng refines every month is very simple and the benefits are too great. Although this place is only a dozen miles away from Yunmeng Mountain, it is still in the period of beast tide However, if it was only transported by qi-training monks, some money-loving foundation-builder monks would snatch the elixir worth nearly a thousand, and then blame it on monsters, while they would run away.

This kind of thing often happens in the world of cultivating immortals. Afterwards, it is extremely difficult to find a monk who can take action, so I can only admit that I am unlucky.

……

At noon on the second day, Cheng Qifeng woke up from the practice, felt the full dantian in his body, sighed softly, and took the invitation card he wrote, and ordered the flying boat to build foundations everywhere. The fairy clan flew away.

The entire Huaishui County is tens of thousands of miles in size, and the foundation-building families are also scattered in various places, with great distances. Even Cheng Qifeng's flying boat will take a lot of time to reach the first stop.

Two days later, Cheng Qifeng took the lead to come to Liu's house in Tianhe Valley in Guanglin County next door to Pingyang County.

Guanglin County is the only county among the four counties in Huaishui County that does not have a peak family of Zhuji, but the monks in Guanglin County are not weak. A county with the most foundation-building immortals in China.

The big reason for this is that Guanglin County has a lot of resources for cultivating immortals, and those immortal clans who established the foundation did not have enough strength to occupy them all. This gave opportunities to those Qi training families in Guanglin County who were not weak for several miles.

Among the four great foundation-building immortal clans in Guanglin County, the Liu family of Tianhe Valley ranks first in terms of strength and background. All this is because the Liu family, like the Cheng family, is a family of alchemy and has spirit stones in exchange for alchemy. , it is not surprising that the family is strong.

However, in recent years, the Liu family has not produced any third-tier alchemists. Although their strength has declined a lot, they have temporarily maintained the family's foundation by virtue of their strong background.

The reason why Cheng Qifeng went to Liu's house immediately was because it was indeed the foundation-building fairy clan closest to Yunmeng City, and the other was because of his own selfishness, the letter Cheng Yuandu left him before his death. Among them, he was asked to go to Liu's house to meet Liu Yunxi and hand over the jade pendant in the storage bag to her.

The most important thing is the opportunity mentioned in the letter, Cheng Qifeng is very curious.

Cheng Qifeng on the flying boat looked at the Liu family residence below him, suppressed his mind, and said loudly.

"Cheng Qifeng, the Cheng family in Xiayunmeng, is here to ask to see the head of the Liu family. I hope that the head of the Liu family can meet."

In less than half a cup of tea, a middle-aged man wielding a flying magic weapon flew out of the Liu family's residence.

After a while, the middle-aged man came to Cheng Qifeng, with a smile on his face, his eyes glanced at Cheng, and said with a smile: "This is Liu Qingmin, the fifth elder of the Liu family. I didn't participate, I was stationed in the clan, but I heard a lot of the results of Cheng Daoyou during the beast tide, he is really a role model for my generation, with extraordinary talent!"

When Cheng Qifeng heard the words, the corners of his mouth rose, he cupped his hands, and said modestly. "Fellow Daoist joked, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, my family head has an invitation, fellow daoist, come here!"

Come on, Cheng Qifeng followed Liu Qingmin to a prosperous attic.

The head of the Liu family had been waiting in the attic for a long time. Liu Yueji was wearing a robe, looked at Cheng Qifeng with a smile, and spoke in a kind tone.

"Cheng Xiaoyou has been gone for some time, I wonder what's the matter with Xiaoyou this time?"

When Cheng Qifeng heard the words, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

According to the rules in the world of cultivating immortals, monks of the same level are all called Dao friends, and only very close relatives and friends will call them children. But thinking of the attitude of Liu Yunxi, the elder of Liu's family, when Cheng Yuandu was about to die that day , he felt that there was something inside the matter, so he echoed what Liu Yueji called.

"During the beast tide, Senior Liu, my clan brothers and I broke through to the foundation building one after another, which can be regarded as a good joy. In addition, several elders of the clan died, and I also wanted to give the clan a boost. Congratulations, I, Yunmeng Cheng, have decided to invite all the foundation-building immortal clans in Huaishui County to a banquet, and this time I am here, I want to invite senior families to attend."

Hearing this, Liu Yueji nodded without thinking too much, and agreed, but the next sentence made his face change drastically.

"One more thing on this trip is to redistribute the market share of Huaishuifang and conduct a competition!"

"what?"

Liu Yueji almost yelled violently, but he also noticed that he was losing his composure now, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, lowered his head, and kept thinking in his mind, but when he thought that his family's share in Huaishuifang City was only half, he would Relieved, a smile was raised on his face again, and after a light sigh, Liu Yueji said: "My Liu family will definitely be there for this banquet."

Hearing the words, Cheng Qi cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Then I'll be thankful! Patriarch Liu, I don't know if senior Liu Yunxi is in Tianhe Valley?"

Hearing this, Liu Yueji looked puzzled, shook his head, and said, "Third Aunt started to practice in seclusion as early as March, and she hasn't left the seclusion until now. It must take some time!"

Cheng Qifeng nodded regretfully, and he didn't bother too much. After all, monks retreat for decades or even hundreds of years, and it takes several years for short.

"Then excuse me, senior, I still need nearly ten Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan to deliver invitations, so I'll go first!"

Liu Yueji nodded with a smile, and left Tianhe Valley in person facing Cheng Qifeng.

Looking at the gradually receding figure in the sky, Liu Yueji had a strange smile on his face, and whispered to himself: "I didn't expect this day to come so fast, Huaishui County will be in chaos!"

Come on, he disappeared here.

……

Half a month later, Cheng Qifeng arrived outside Tianling Mountain in Liangxian County. At this time, Cheng Qifeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Cheng Yuanqu's death was at the hands of Wang Qingyun of the Wang family, so all members of the Cheng family knew about it.
