Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

From now on, Zhang Ran can be considered officially becoming the Lord of Daqian.

Although he hasn't arrived yet, he has already begun to enjoy the privileges of the Daqian Dynasty.

The golden contract turned into a seal, with the character "Zhang" engraved on it.

Zhang Ran reached out and took it, surprised to find that this seal was still a medium-grade magic treasure.

"What is this?"

Prime Minister Yin looked at Zhang Ran's surprised expression and explained, "This is the symbol of the Lord of Daqian. This seal is also a magic treasure that can be used to suppress everything."

Zhang Ran was astonished at how wealthy the Daqian Dynasty was. This seal, which highlighted his status, was still a medium-grade magic treasure. Elder Sun, on the other hand, only had two medium-grade magic treasures that he could use.

"Prime Minister Yin, the Daqian Dynasty is truly wealthy," Zhang Ran exclaimed.

Prime Minister Yin laughed, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhang's surprise is normal. Ordinary lords from other clans are usually cultivators in the later stages of Nascent Soul or even Soul Formation. So, a medium-grade magic treasure is nothing special. However, this treasure is mainly used for suppression. To be honest, it is not very useful in battles. It is primarily a symbol of status. Other medium-grade magic treasures are more practical for fighting."

Zhang Ran agreed. As a fourth-rank alchemist, he could naturally see many issues with the seal. It emphasized grandeur but lacked attack power and spiritual essence.

Prime Minister Yin took out a map and said, "This is the map of our Daqian Dynasty. Choose a location, and I will arrange for your Zhang family to relocate there."

The map was not made of paper but a virtual image. When Prime Minister Yin opened it, it appeared before Zhang Ran like a projection.

More than a hundred locations were marked on it, along with the surrounding forces, population, spiritual veins, and other cultivation materials.

Zhang Ran asked, "Prime Minister, will someone deliver the spiritual veins to us after we choose a location?"

"No, once you make your selection, they will be placed there for you," Prime Minister Yin replied.

After looking for a while, Zhang Ran found several good locations with abundant spiritual veins. Within a radius of ten thousand miles, his family could develop them. However, they would have to pay a considerable amount to Daqian each year, as it was only fair to share the resources when digging on someone else's territory.

The area of the entire Daqian Dynasty was about half the size of the solar system in Zhang Ran's previous life, so it had various climates and geographical conditions.

The imperial palace of the Daqian Dynasty was located in the northern part of the entire Daqian. Zhang Ran chose a location near the northern region, as the spiritual energy became denser the further north one went. Moreover, it was relatively close to the central part of the entire Tianan Realm. (Daqian was closer to the central part, with its territory running vertically, generally in the south.)

Zhang Ran selected a lively place with three cities, which would also fall under his influence. They were Haoyang City, Heavenly River City, and Huangyin City.

The city lords of these cities were all Core Formation cultivators. After being incorporated into Zhang Ran's influence, he would have to manage them. The tax revenue from spiritual stones would be the responsibility of the Zhang family.

In addition, there were two large spiritual mines. Besides being able to mine spiritual stones, they also contained cold ice stones, fire copper ore, and other rare minerals.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, now that you have chosen a location, Daqian can assist in the construction of your family's residence," Prime Minister Yin said.

"That would be great. After all, the journey is long, and it would definitely take a long time for the people in my family to build it themselves," Zhang Ran replied.

Prime Minister Yin said, "Alright, after we return, I will find the best craftsmen for you. As for the overall construction plan of your family, design it yourself and give it to me."

"Okay, how about this? Prime Minister Yin, please wait at my Zhang family for one day. I can give it to you tomorrow morning," Zhang Ran suggested.

...

At night, it was the first time Zhang Ran didn't diligently practice in the backyard. He was designing blueprints for his family's construction.

"This place, once the Zhang family settles here, it may not change for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. So, we must be cautious and ensure that every aspect is well done. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to make changes later on."

The first consideration was the large formation on the outskirts of the family. After settling down, they would definitely need to upgrade the formation to the fifth rank.

In the future, I will eventually become a sixth-level formation mage, and the structure of the family should also be suitable for convenient changes to the formation.

Next, the family already has a large number of cultivators. As time goes on, Zhang Ran plans to live with his wife in the center, also known as the inner city. It will contain the highest-level martial arts hall, cultivation rooms, refining rooms, and more.

The inner city is also located above the human-level spiritual veins, so there are ten top-level cultivation rooms. Since they are human-level spiritual veins, their effects are ten times better than ordinary-level ones, even the tenth row of cultivation rooms have the same effect as the ordinary-level spiritual veins.

Outside the inner city is a martial arts pavilion and other places for cultivation, with a wide range of facilities. This is also a place for elite or high-level descendants to cultivate.

At the same time, the elite residence of the Zhang family is also built on the outskirts of the cultivation area, with plenty of land available.

Further out are the living quarters for ordinary descendants with average aptitude. Even so, each person has their own set of gardens that can accommodate hundreds of people. Within this area, there are also mission halls, beginner-level martial arts pavilions, and more. This is where the Zhang family's Longevity Academy is located. After passing the assessment at the academy, one can become an elite descendant and enter the elite residence for cultivation.

This academy is open to all Zhang family descendants.

There should also be some peripheral positions reserved for the Zhang family.

After all, as the Zhang family's influence expands, there will also be the emergence of powerful peripheral families. It is possible that Core Formation or even Nascent Soul cultivators may come from these families.

As time goes on, there will definitely be many descendants, even up to the fifth generation, tenth generation, or even hundreds of generations.

Based on the progress of the descendants' cultivation, various targeted cultivation plans will be set up for the Zhang family.

Someone like Zhang Yin is already a core disciple in the sect.

Su Su from the Heavenly Demon Temple is already a saintess in the Heavenly Demon Temple, enjoying a status and cultivation resources that others cannot compare to.

"In the future, the family will have a major competition every ten years, and a position similar to Saint Child or saintess will be established. Below the Saint Child, ten rankings will be set up to select the top ten geniuses in the family, excluding the Saint Child."

After that, many training classes will be opened. Some cultivators like farming, so farming classes will be set up in the academy. There will also be someone to take care of the spiritual fields in the future.

There will also be classes for refining tools, refining talismans, alchemy, and puppetry in the academy.

Those who excel in these classes can enter the elite residence for advanced learning.

Master Zhang, who worked all night, finally finished this blueprint. After looking at it three times and confirming that there were no problems, he handed it over to Prime Minister Yin in the morning.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, are you sure about using these materials to build these things?" Prime Minister Yin looked at the materials marked by Zhang Ran and couldn't help but be surprised because they were all very expensive.

"Yes, these cultivation rooms are very important, so they must be done well."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, the materials for these cultivation rooms are all cold crystal ore, fire copper ore, and cinnabar stone. These are not cheap. With such a large quantity, I'm afraid you will have to pay for it yourself."

"That's not a problem, don't worry. The money will be there. If it's not enough, I will pay with pills."

Prime Minister Yin immediately bought two Infant Transformation Pills with a smile.

After Prime Minister Yin left, Zhang Ran waited for the Daqian army to come and help with the relocation.

He flew over Zhang's house and looked at the place where he had lived for 132 years. Now he was 150 years old.

"Time flies. There are hundreds of graves in the back mountain. These are the concubines I took in early on. They all passed away early."

Then, Zhang Ran flashed and arrived at Little Rain Peak. Yu Yan was sitting alone at the top of the mountain, practicing with a Core Formation cultivation base.

But Zhang Ran knew that it was still too early for her to break through to Nascent Soul.

As Zhang Ran arrived, Yu Yan opened her beautiful eyes and smiled slightly.

"Senior Zhang, why are you interested in visiting my Little Rain Peak today?"

Zhang Ran smiled and went over to hug Yu Yan from behind, whispering in her ear, "This is my home, so of course I want to come."
