Zhuge Tian picked up the map and looked at it, frowned and said: "Deputy Gate Master, if we want to buy the entire eastern part of the city, a quarter of the area of this Yunxuan City will be assigned to the name of the Earth Group, I'm afraid the City Lord's Mansion will not agree to this kind of thing, right?"

Luo Tianlin smiled: "It's okay, if he doesn't agree, we won't force it." When the time comes, we will sell the territory in the city and build a city ourselves. ”

"Build a city by yourself?" Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect the deputy master to actually hit this idea.

Seeing that everyone was surprised, Luo Tianlin continued: "Don't worry, this is just the last plan, I don't think the Yunxuan City Lord will give us a chance to do this." ”

Zhuge Tian reacted instantly, this is a naked threat, without the master of the Earth Group, Yun Xuan City is estimated to not be able to hold it for even a day, how dare Yun Minghao let Luo Tianlin leave.

The move is a good move, but this will make the relationship with the city lord's mansion very stiff, even if there is nothing on the surface, the other party will definitely be very unhappy in the heart.

"Actually, we don't need to care about the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion, as long as the people are on our side, when the cultivation ground is built, all the martial artists and spiritual cultivators can exchange for a certain amount of cultivation time as long as they pay a certain amount of silver taels or martial arts cheats and other things. Luo Tianlin's fox tail was finally revealed.

Yu Xueqing said worriedly: "In this way, won't our own advantages be gone?"

Luo Tianlin sighed slightly in his heart, these people still can't change the habits of that small sect, that is, if there are good things, they must be hidden, for fear that others will take advantage. Of course, everyone will have this kind of emotion, and no one is exempt from vulgarity, but for Luo Tianlin, he has a plan that cannot be said to people, that is, to create gods!

Let the reputation of the Earth Group become louder and louder, and then let Zhuge Tian get more and more power of faith. Maybe you'll soon reach the legendary realm.

This matter must not be leaked, otherwise it may endanger Xiaotian's life, so he decided to let Mo'er Xiaotian know only about it.

So at this time, I have to find a reason to explain.

"Xue Qing, in fact, you have to think like this, if those martial artists come to our cultivation ground to improve their strength, they will naturally be more willing to spend more money or martial arts cheats to further cultivate, so that our Earth Group's arsenal, cheats library, and so on will grow rapidly. Low-level cultivators are no worse than a few major factions, and the inferior ones are masters in the human realm or even above the realm realm, so instead of spending time building low-level reserves, it is better to let go of the cultivation field and obtain many low-level cheats and cultivation resources. We can concentrate on the cultivation of martial arts. Only in this way can the Earth Group catch up with the nine major factions in the shortest possible time. In addition, the core cultivation ground with the fastest cultivation speed is naturally not open, so you can rest assured of this. Luo Tianlin explained.

In fact, with his prestige and status in the faction, the decisions he made did not need to be explained to others at all. However, Luo Tianlin has always regarded Yu Xueqing and the others as friends rather than subordinates, so basically everything will be discussed together.

Mo'er immediately interjected: "Since the deputy sect master has explained so clearly, I think everyone should have no doubts, right?" If you still have questions, please raise them now, otherwise this matter will be decided, and there will be no objections in the future." ”

If Luo Tianlin is playing the friendship card, Mo'er, as the nominal owner of the Earth Group, must put this matter on the ground. A well-run gang has a foundation, and that is the ban.

There were no objections, and the resolution was adopted unanimously.

A few days later, a powerful news spread throughout the city, the Earth Group actually wanted the entire eastern district of Yunxuan City, and for a while, all the people in the city were talking about it.

"Hey, have you heard? The Earth Group actually wants the City Lord's Mansion to give him the entire eastern part of the city, this appetite is too big, he is just a gang, how can he ask for such a large area. A big, thick-eyed man shouted in the tavern.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many people in the tavern looked at him, and most of them had murderous intent in their eyes.

A handsome boy put away the folding fan in his hand, walked up to him and said, "This brother, you are not from this city, right? Everyone in our Yunxuan City knows that without the Earth Group, Yunxuan City would have been slaughtered by the Demon Sect a long time ago, where is there still such a peaceful scene as now." It would not be an exaggeration to say that even if half of the city is given to the other party. ”

"It's nonsense, as a member of Yunxuan City, the Earth Group should have contributed to the protection of Yunxuan City, so that's what they should do, could it be that after the military attache of the imperial court conquered the country, the emperor would still give him half of it?"

"Cut, can that be the same? The military attache is the emperor's subordinate, and the Earth Group is not the subordinated of the city lord's mansion. ”

"Boy, are you getting impatient?" the thick-eyed man clucked.

"I am a scholar, unlike you, who will only use force if you say it, please look around for yourself and see how many people agree with you. "Pianpian is not afraid of the other party's threat at all.

Dahan glanced around, and sure enough, few of the eyes that looked at him were friendly, and his heart was quite drumming. The hero didn't take the loss in front of him, and he was about to leave, when an extremely handsome young man came in from outside the door.

"I support this uncle's opinion, even the nine major sects in Kyoto only occupy a small area, and it is better to keep a low profile for a newly established sect. The young man patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

"Where did the ignorant child come from, he actually dared to talk nonsense, we can't control what happens to the nine major factions, this time the demon sect invaded, and I didn't see any action from them, it was the Earth Group that saved all of our lives, so don't compare the Nine Great Factions with the Earth Group. Someone immediately complained.

"Presumptuous, dare to be rude to the young master!" The two bodyguards behind the young man immediately stood in front and wanted to make a move.

"Zhu Yi, Zhu Er, don't be rude, quickly retreat!" the young man drank.

Hearing the young master's shouting, the two reluctantly stepped aside. The young man continued, "Believe me, the city lord will not agree to such an impudent request. ”

After saying that, he left the lobby and walked up to the guest room on the second floor, and the two men immediately followed.

Back in the room, the young man frowned. Luo Tianlin, this kid should not be such an ignorant person, the city lord's mansion and the gang have always been between the well water and the river water, and it is just a stronghold in the city, and he actually wants to divide a quarter of the city for the gang to use, which has violated the bottom line of the city lord's mansion. Or did he completely float after repelling the Demon Cult this time?

"Zhu Yi, if you go to taverns, teahouses, brothels and other places to spread rumors, just say that the Earth Group wants to encroach on the land of the City Lord's Mansion and the like, it is best to cause controversy among the families and ordinary people who oppose the Earth Group. Zhu Er, you go and listen to the tone of the City Lord's Mansion to see if they will really hand over the land. The young people finally made up their minds.

Luo Tianlin, no matter what kind of idea you have, I will not let you get your wish! The young man swore fiercely in his heart.

Earth Group, Luo Tianlin Cultivation Room.

"Brother Tianlin, it's not good!" Ouyang Ling rushed into the room in a hurry.

Luo Tianlin opened his eyes helplessly, this is him, he changed to another person, and he was not fooled by this little girl.

"What's so urgent, reckless, you're not a child anymore!"

"Oh, now that the city is about to fight, you are still in the mood to cultivate here. ”

"What is fighting, who is fighting with whom, you make it clear what is going on. Luo Tianlin was confused.

"The people in the city have fought, some people say bad things about our Earth Group, and some people help us speak, so the fight has started, and now the guards of the City Lord's Mansion have been dispatched, and the situation is very chaotic, Brother Tian wants me to come over and ask you, do you want our Earth Group to send people to maintain order. ”

"Is there any one of our disciples involved?" Luo Tianlin asked solemnly.

"No, absolutely not, in the past few days, Xue Chen has given strict orders to his disciples, not allowing them to go out to cause trouble, if anyone doesn't listen, they will be kicked out of the gang immediately. Those boys didn't dare to listen, they were all obediently cultivating, and everyone went out to make trouble. Ouyang Ling said.

"That's good. Luo Tianlin relaxed slightly, as long as there were no people from the Earth Group involved, such a disturbance would not make a big deal, and the City Lord's Mansion would not be able to catch any pigtails of the Earth Group.

It's just that this incident is very strange, according to speculation, it is normal for the people in the city to have arguments in this regard, but to the point of a group fight, it is obvious that someone is behind it.

The biggest suspicion should be the City Lord's Mansion, as long as the disciples of the Earth Group intervene, there will be an excuse to guide the people's opinions. But Luo Tianlin felt that this matter was not so simple, with the current relationship between the City Lord's Mansion, the Alchemist Guild, Ling Xiangtang and the Earth Group, even if Yun Minghao had any dissatisfaction, he should directly come to the Earth Group to explain it to himself. It seems that someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes.

It seems that he has to go to the City Lord's Mansion in person.

"Xiao Ling'er, help me call the green snake Ji, I have something to look for her. Luo Tianlin said.

Ouyang Ling took the order and left, and after a while, the Green Snake Ji came to Luo Tianlin's room.

"You must know what is going on out there. Luo Tianlin said.

"Back to the deputy master, the subordinates have sent someone to investigate this matter to see who is behind the rumors and trouble. Green Snake Ji's face was also quite ugly, and she had just received news from her subordinates.

"You have to be careful in this matter, you can set off such a big storm in a short period of time, the strength of the rumor-mongers is not weak, by the way, when you investigate, you will mainly check the people who have recently come in from the outside, and don't check the city lord's mansion, I will ask in person." Luo Tianlin was also afraid that she would be misled to check and find out about the city lord's mansion, causing unnecessary contradictions.

Luo Tianlin called Mo'er, took an ordinary carriage, and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion. As the carriage reached the North and South Streets, an inexplicable warning of danger appeared in his mind. He reacted very quickly, and immediately grabbed Mo'er's hand and rushed out of the roof of the car. At this time, two heavy crossbows shot through the carriage of the carriage, and if he had not run out in time, he would have been injured.

Mo'er's face turned cold, and she was about to chase forward, but Luo Tianlin grabbed her and said, "Forget it, don't chase it, the strength of these two people who sneaked up is not low, at least they also have the cultivation of the Yuan Realm." Besides, do you see their escape routes?"

Mo'er was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the direction where the two fled from a distance, and the end of the road was the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, could it be that these two people were sent by the City Lord's Mansion?

Luo Tianlin snorted coldly: "Such a simple scam can only deceive a three-year-old child!" Obviously, these two people want to cause trouble and make the City Lord's Mansion and the Earth Group suspicious of each other.

The two returned to the carriage and continued to walk in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and after a while, they came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Luo Tianlin stepped forward and said, "Trouble spreads, Mo'er, the door master of the Earth Group, has invited me to visit the city lord Yun Minghao." ”

The soldiers guarding the door had already recognized the two and immediately went in to report, and soon Yun Minghao appeared in the sight of the two.

"Haha, it turned out that the Momen Lord and Brother Luo were visiting, please come in. There was no displeasure in his voice.

Several people entered the house, and Yun Minghao ordered his subordinates to serve the tea.

"You two must have been very busy lately, why do you have time to come to me?" Yun Minghao said with a smile.

Luo Tianlin also smiled: "No matter how busy you are, it's for the people of Yunxuan City. Compared to what happened in the city this morning, the lord of the castle should have received the news. ”

Yun Minghao said quietly: "Brother Luo, we have such a relationship, I will confess, this time your Earth Group wants the entire land in the east of the city, and the City Lord's Mansion has no opinion, but there are still some properties of the nobles in the city, and it is a little difficult to persuade them to give up." ”

Luo Tianlin shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not that my Earth Group is greedy, but for the sake of the strength of the entire Yunxuan City, we have to buy so many sites. ”

Yun Minghao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What did Brother Luo say about this?"

"There is a man in this gate who is proficient in formations, named Shi Lifei, and the city lord must have heard the name of this person. ”

"Shi Lifei, of course I know, it's the inventor of the incendiary bomb, right?" Yun Minghao nodded, although Shi Lifei didn't show up too much, but he played a huge role in the battle, and many soldiers defending the city had heard the name of such a legendary figure.

Luo Tianlin said with a smile: "Yes, recently she has researched a large array that can increase the cultivation speed, so we want to transform the entire Dongcheng District into a cultivation holy land, and after the transformation is completed, it will be open to the martial artists of the entire Yunxuan City, in this way, the overall strength of Yunxuan City will be greatly improved." Of course, because maintaining these large arrays also requires a lot of spirit stones, we will charge some appropriate compensation. ”

Yun Minghao was really stunned this time, to be able to arrange a formation to increase the cultivation speed, at least it must be a first-class sect or above to arrange it, and there are strict restrictions on its use, not that the core disciples can't enjoy this kind of treatment at all. Now the earth actually said that it would be open to people outside the sect, even if it had to charge some fees, it was a pioneering act.

"If the lord of the city can't convince those families, just use what I just said to ask them, if they are willing to sell their territory, we can pay the silver, or we can exchange the points of the Earth Group. Luo Tianlin struck while the iron was hot.

"The points of the Earth Group?" Yun Minghao was stunned.

"That's right, it's points, and when the time comes, anyone who wants to enter the cultivation holy land will have to use the earth points to exchange for cultivation time. I can tell you this in advance. Luo Tianlin smiled slightly.

Yun Minghao called him a good guy, so that he even saved a lot of money to buy land, and he was already 100% sure that there must be a large number of people who are willing to exchange points for it.

He immediately clapped his hand and said, "Since Brother Luo is so righteous, this matter will be wrapped up in me, and it can be solved in two days." However, there is one thing, I can't guarantee that every single one of them will earn points, after all, some people are not interested in cultivation. ”

Luo Tianlin smiled: "Don't worry, although our Earth Group is not rich, we can still take out millions of silver." ”

Yun Minghao didn't doubt this, after all, Luo Tianlin himself was a red-level alchemist, and he could sell a pill for a lot of money if he refined it.

"By the way, I need the help of the city lord for one more thing this time. Luo Tianlin said.

"Brother Luo, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"There are people in the city who are deliberately trying to sow discord between the Earth Group and the City Lord's Mansion, and I suspect that these people may be undercover agents of the Demon Cult, so I need a list of strangers who have been in and out of the city these days. ”

Yun Minghao's face turned cold: "I have already ordered this matter to go down and let my subordinates investigate it strictly, I think there will be news soon." ”

"No, Cloud City Lord, it is estimated that it will be difficult for your people to find out something, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger, just let our Earth Group investigate this matter, after all, the other party is very likely to be a master of the human realm. Luo Tianlin told him the news that he and Mo'er were ambushed on the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

Yun Minghao frowned, if such a master was really mixed in the city, it was really not something that could be solved by just a city guard, he immediately made up his mind and said: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to the Earth Group, if there is anything that needs the cooperation of our City Lord's Mansion, we will definitely cooperate fully." ”

Luo Tianlin got up and said, "Since this is the case, then we will leave first, and wait for the good news of your Cloud City Lord." ”

Out of the City Lord's Mansion, Mo'er suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect the Cloud City Lord to have no doubts about your words at all." ”

Luo Tianlin smiled: "It's not that there is no suspicion, but this is a fact that will soon be exposed, and he believes that we will not gain more than we lose by deceiving him on this." I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about the two mysterious killers, and we have to find them as soon as possible. ”

Mo'er said: "Those two are at most the Human Yuan Realm, is it necessary to be so worried? Moreover, the people of the Demon Sect have bloody qi on their bodies, and once they have their luck, they will be discovered, I think they should not dare to use martial arts in the city, right? ”

"What if those two are not from the Demon Sect?" Luo Tianlin said suddenly.

"Not from the Demon Sect?" Mo'er's face changed drastically, "You mean that there are other sects that want to provoke a fight between us and the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Yes, sometimes, decency is more difficult to guard against than the Demon Cult. Not everyone is going to want to see the rise of a new faction. Those two gave me some familiar feelings, and I must have fought them before. It's just that for a while, I can't remember where or when. Luo Tianlin said.

"Hey, this kind of deceitful thing in the rivers and lakes is really tiring, only you can be comfortable in it, if I definitely don't think about it so much, it is estimated that it is easy to fall for them. Mo'er sighed.

Luo Tianlin shook his head and smiled: "Do you think I like this? It's still not strong enough! If the two of us are in the Earth Void Realm now, it doesn't matter if he is a member of the Demon Sect or a decent person, he doesn't care about it. But not now, we are like dancing on the edge of a cliff, once we take a wrong step, we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover, and we can't be careful!"

Yuelai Inn, Tianzi No. 2 room.

"Young Master, the City Lord's Mansion seems to have joined forces with the Earth Group, and the two of us brothers were just about to go out, and they were immediately targeted. Zhu Yi and Zhu Er hugged their fists.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the City Lord's Mansion to have such a good relationship with the Earth Group, but it was a bit unexpected to me. It doesn't matter, anyway, it's best to succeed in provoking, and if you don't succeed, it will plant the seeds of quarrel in the hearts of ordinary people, so you just stay in the inn and don't go out these days. Luo Tianlin, it's really a good opponent, so the game is fun, isn't it?" the young man smiled coldly.

Two days later, while people were still speculating whether the city lord's mansion would agree to cede the land in the east of the city to the Earth Group, those nobles in the east of the city had already taken the lead in giving up their mansions and land. Later, the City Lord's Mansion also issued a statement that all the land east of East Second Street would be handed over to the Earth Syndicate, and those who were willing to accept the monetary subsidy would be compensated with silver, and if they were unwilling, the City Lord's Mansion would build new housing on the wasteland west of the city in exchange.

Not only that, but the City Lord's Mansion also sent all the construction workers to help the Earth Group with the reconstruction work. Luo Tianlin used a super-large wall to enclose all of Dongcheng District this time, leaving only a few entrances. Make the entire Earth Group look like a giant house.

This project took half a month to complete, and Shi Lifei carved a strong magic circle and a large sect protector array on the city wall, so that the entire Earth Group looked like it was wrapped in a thick fog from the outside world, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

At this time, on the newly acquired land of the Earth Group, buildings were torn down one after another, and the construction of cultivation towers began according to Shi Lifei's idea. The structure of the tower is very simple, and there are some similarities with the trial tower, each tower has five floors, and the spiritual power concentration decreases from top to bottom.

It took five days for the first fire-type cultivation tower to be successfully built, and Shi Lifei spent another five days to complete the formation in the tower. The entire tower is composed of five fire-based spirit enhancement arrays, each of which is powered by a fire-type spirit stone. Among them, the concentration of fire-based spiritual power in the first layer was about twice that of ordinary spiritual power. The second layer is three times and the highest five layers are six times. Don't look at it as little as two, this is twice as much as a single fire-type element, and if a fire-type spiritual cultivator cultivates at the first level, it can increase the speed by nearly four times, and there is also a certain chance to enhance the fire-type ability.
