Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 127 Target ghost market, inside but not outside! (seeking subscription)
"Let the clansmen get ready, I plan to attack the underground ghost market outside Jingyang City!"

Summoning the elders of several clans, Xu Yan didn't hide it, and directly stated his plan.

At this time, it has been almost a month since he took office as Jingzhou Town Magic Division Qianhu.

So much time has passed.

Xu Yan preliminarily took control of the Thousand Households Office of the Magic Division of Jingzhou Town, and he can tell that those people are really serving him, those people can be wooed, and those people are determined to fight against him.

As the saying goes, a new official takes office three times, and an old official resigns with one hundred thousand gold!
Now that we have figured out the situation of Zhenmensi and the family's reinforcements, it's time to burn these three fires.

This time, he not only wants to burn down the malignant tumor of the underground ghost city, but also burns to death those evil spirits and those half-hearted people under his command. foothold capital.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

"Underground Ghost City?"

When the elders of the Xu family heard this, they were stunned for an instant.

It has been almost a month since they came to Jingdi, and they have a certain understanding of the situation in Jingdi, knowing the complexity and difficulty of the underground ghost market outside Jingyang City.

They even heard that in the depths of the underground ghost city, there are still many demons who have practiced for thousands of years.

I want to clean up the underground ghost market with Xu's power in the scene.

Undoubtedly a little unrealistic.

thought here.

Xu Ji, the thirteenth uncle with the oldest seniority, said after deliberation: "Patriarch, do you want to discuss this matter carefully?"

"With our current manpower, even with the assistance of Jingyang City Zhongzheng, it may be extremely difficult to wipe out the underground ghost city, and it is even more likely that we will lose both."

"So, I hope the Patriarch can be careful about this matter!"

When the others heard Xu Ji speak, they also tried to dissuade him.

"Yes, Patriarch, I heard that in the depths of the underground ghost city outside Jingyang City, there are ghost king-level monsters. With our current strength, if we really want to attack the underground ghost city, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it."

"That's right, the underground ghost city is not so easy to deal with. Not only are there many monsters in it, but they are also connected to many forces in the city. The sect forces, I believe they will not let it go."

"I hope Patriarch thinks twice, I, the Xu family, have just arrived, so it's really not easy to make too many enemies..."

"..."

obviously.

Those present counted as one, and no one agreed with Xu Yan's decision.

Because in their view, with the current strength of the Xu family in Jingyang City, even if it is coupled with the power of Qianhu, the town magic department in Jingyang City, it is not necessarily the opponent of Jingyang Underground Ghost City.

The most important thing is that Xu Yan leading troops to clear up the underground ghost market is undoubtedly a money-losing business.

Even if they successfully cleared and captured the underground ghost city outside Jingyang City, it would not be worth it. Apart from getting an underground cave like a maze, they would get nothing else.

Inputs and outputs are completely mismatched.

Everyone is rushing to do a profitable business.

But as long as you are not a fool, no one wants to do business that loses money.

Everyone in the Xu family didn't think they were fools, so they were not at all interested in Xu Yan's suggestion to wipe out the underground ghost market outside Jingyang City, and they all opposed it.

"Indeed, it would definitely not be worthwhile to lead an army to attack a ghost market just to wipe out demons, but..."

Xu Yan said with a face of approval, then changed his voice, and continued: "What if there are hundreds of millions of wealth in the ghost market, and it can allow our Xu family to gain a foothold in the scene?"

Billionaires?

Can the Xu family gain a foothold in the scene?

When Xu Ji and the others heard this, they couldn't help but stand there, their brains spinning rapidly, thinking carefully about Xu Yan's words, not knowing what Xu Yan meant.

"What does the Patriarch mean by this?"

The thirteenth uncle Xu Ji asked with a frown, obviously not wanting to understand the causal connection.

"the reason is simple."

Xu Yan smiled slightly and said, "I have checked some top-secret information of the Zhenmo Division, and finally found that there is a large cold iron mine in the northeast corner of the underground ghost city outside Jingyang City, close to the Jingyang Mountains."

"Of course, if it's just this, it's nothing. What really surprised me is that both the City Lord's Mansion and the three major families in Jingyang City all know about the situation of this cold iron mine and have organized monsters to mine it. "

"According to the secret report, this cold iron mine alone can bring more than one billion taels of silver income to the City Lord's Mansion and others."

"If our Xu family can take down the underground ghost market by surprise and take this cold iron mine into their pocket, I am afraid that we will not only earn a lot of money, but also use the large cold iron mine as capital to win over the city lord's mansion and The three major families in Jingyangjun City allow the Xu family to gain a foothold in Jingyang City, and will no longer be targeted by the City Lord's Mansion and local wealthy families."

Xu Yan said with a smile, and directly threw out the large cold iron ore in the Demon Corpse Cave as a bargaining chip.

More than one billion silver income a year.

He is not afraid that the few in front of him will not be tempted.

In other words, no one dislikes money unless it really reaches a certain level.

For example, the elders of the Xu family in front of them, as well as the [-] children of the Xu family who came to support them, also need cultivation resources.

Not to mention other things, these people's monthly food and drink expenses alone cost tens of thousands of taels of silver a month, and if the needs of cultivation are really counted, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

And it's still economical.

If you really want to let go of the flowers, there are no counts at all.

Of course, the large cold iron mine in the underground ghost city was not the reason why Xu Yan wanted to wipe out the ghost city.

The most important reason for him to clear the ghost city was to eliminate all the hidden dangers of the underground ghost city, and to take that large unopened crypt into his pocket.

As long as you can control the underground ghost market, you can control the entire ghost market.

In the future, Xu Yan might not be able to quietly get the treasures in the crypt, and by the way, turn that high-grade crypt into a blessed place, and use it as the foundation of the Xu family in Jingyang.

"A large cold iron mine, more than a billion silver a year?"

Xu Ji and others couldn't help being shocked when they heard the news, they were all dumbfounded and couldn't believe their ears.

"Is this true?"

In the end, it was the thirteenth uncle Xu Ji who was the first to react and asked excitedly.

"of course it's true!"

Xu Yan said affirmatively: "Besides, I have already sent people to investigate this matter. The large cold iron mine is located in the corpse demon cave of the underground ghost city. The demon who occupies this place was once the guard of Jingyang City , turned into a silver-armored corpse demon after death, and has a deep connection with all the big and powerful in Jingyang City."

"In addition, this demon has controlled tens of thousands of living corpses for mining purposes. The mined cold iron stones will be secretly transported to Jingyang City for smelting, extracting cold iron, and making utensils. The business houses of several big families in the city are transported to other states and counties for sale."

"So, the relationship between the three major families in the City Lord's Mansion and Jingyang City is not as simple as imagined. They also have a deep cooperation in secret."

"As long as we can take down the underground ghost city and the large cold iron mine, we will be qualified to negotiate with the City Lord's Mansion and the major families in Jingyang City. As long as they are not stupid, they will know what to do."

iron ore.

Especially cold iron ore.

It is definitely a material strictly controlled by the Dagan court, and local forces are not allowed to mine it privately.

Because this thing represents swords and armor, once it is mined and circulated on a large scale, it will definitely pose a certain threat to the rule of the court.

The City Lord's Mansion of Jingyang City and several big families in the city are united to secretly mine cold iron ore, privately mint it and sell it.

Therefore, as long as the Xu family can control the underground ghost city and the large cold iron mine, they are not afraid of the city lord's mansion and the few families in Jingyang City who will not compromise.

At that time, the Xu family will naturally be able to occupy part of the interests and gain a firm foothold in the scene.

This is the real collusion, collusion!

"How sure are you?"

Xu Ji took a deep breath, looked at Xu Yan and asked.

"Uncle, don't worry. Since my grandnephew dared to ask the underground ghost market, he must have a certain degree of confidence. Not to mention [-]% or [-]% of this matter, at least [-]% to [-]%."

Xu Yan said with a smile, showing full confidence.

After all, he did not forget to add, and said with sincerity: "Of course, because the passages of the underground ghost market are complicated and the scope is extremely wide, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of people in the Jingyang Town Magic Division's Thousand Households. I need your uncles to lead people to help."

Since he wants to borrow a knife to kill people, he will remove all those who have ulterior motives under his command.

Naturally, Xu Yan would not let these members of the Xu family go.

As for the matter of eliminating demons and taking down the underground ghost city?

He didn't take it to heart either.

the reason is simple.

Because after a month of high-quality earth yin energy accumulation, the quality of the Feixian mirror in his hand has reached the level of a middle-grade spirit treasure.

Most of the one hundred and seven flying fairy ghosts in the mirror have advanced to the level of evil ghosts, and the remaining half have also reached the peak level of ghosts.

There are even two flying fairy ghosts in the Feixian mirror, and one of them is about to break through the ghost king realm.

Such a group of ghosts, not to mention placed in the underground ghost market outside Jingyang City, is placed in the entire scene, they are a force that cannot be ignored.

Furthermore, with the cooperation of the Zhenmagic Division and the members of the Xu family, it is not too simple to exterminate the demons and evil cultivators in the underground ghost market.

In fact.

If Xu Yan hadn't kept the underground ghost market, wanting to establish his prestige, eradicate dissidents, and let the Xu family gain a foothold in Jingdi.

He had already wiped out all the demons, Xiexiu, etc. in the ghost city.

The flying fairies and ghosts in the flying fairy mirror are absolutely unparalleled in killing low-level demons and evil cultivators. The contestants kill one by one, which is more than a hundred times more efficient.

"Since the Patriarch has such confidence, the matter will be arranged by the Patriarch. My disciples of the Xu family will definitely strictly abide by the Patriarch's edict, rise up for the family, and never regret it."

The thirteenth uncle Xu Ji replied in a deep voice, promising Xu Yan.

"That's right, please give the Patriarch an order, I will definitely obey the Patriarch's arrangement!"

Seeing that Xu Ji, who was the most senior, had already expressed his opinion, several other people could only open their mouths to agree, even though they still had a lot of doubts in their hearts, and no one jumped out to object.

Xu Yan took all the performance of these people in front of him into his eyes, and then said happily: "Very good, with the support of uncle and all uncles, we will definitely be able to win this time."

…………

After dealing with the elders of the family, the next step is Zhenmosi.

However, compared with the elders of the family, Zhenmensi's side is much easier to deal with.

Because the Zhenmagic Division itself is independent of the imperial court's administrative agencies, every thousand households in Daozhou have independent decision-making power, not to mention clearing out an underground ghost market, even ordering to wipe out the ghost market in the entire scene. any problem.

Of course, there is no problem with this, and it is based on the fact that there will be no problems.

If because of your decision, the Zhenmagic Division suffered huge losses, or a large number of innocent people suffered heavy casualties, then don't blame the Zhenmagic Division headquarters and the Dagan court for throwing you out to quell public anger.

to this point.

Xu Yan didn't have any worries.

Just like what he said, if there is no absolute confidence, the underground ghost market can be wiped out successfully.

He only chooses to send troops when his head is pumped.

Isn't he afraid that those monsters and evil cultivators in the underground ghost city will be killed, and they will directly detonate the earth veins, or use formations to cause the underground caves to collapse, affecting the people of Jingyang City on the ground?
If the underground ghost city outside Jingyang City were really so easy to wipe out, it wouldn't be like a malignant tumor growing underground in Jingyang City, and one of them couldn't be wiped out.

Therefore, before Xu Yan chose to attack the underground ghost market, he must have other preparations.

The same is true.

In fact, as early as a month ago, he entered the underground ghost market to kill the white wolf ghosts, and after he knew that there was a top-grade crypt in the underground ghost market, he was already preparing for the elimination of the ghost market.

During this month, not to mention the flying fairy ghost and other ghosts in his hands, what kind of bloody storm has been set off in the underground ghost city, and how many demons and evil monks have been slaughtered.

There are dozens of monsters who died in his hands alone, and there are still many fourth-order big monsters who are very aware of current affairs and chose to join them.

In this regard, Xu Yan's approach is very simple.

If the crime is serious, it will be saved directly.

If the crime is not deep, then they will be included, or arranged to sit in the underground ghost market outside Jingyang City, or sent to the ghost markets in the other eight counties of Jingdi to inquire about news and information, etc., there are always some uses.

In other words, the big monsters deep in the underground ghost city outside Jingyang City have either been crushed by Xu Yan, or they have been subdued and suppressed by him. Evil monks and so on.

The so-called encirclement and suppression by the Zhenmagic Division is just a play, and the real target to be dealt with is not the big monster in the ghost city, but the Thousand Households of the Zhenmagic Division, and those assassins in the Xu clan. head.

Inside, not outside!

If not, he wouldn't have dared to wipe out the underground ghost city with such a big fanfare. The Jingyang City's geography was a joke to the people in the city.
