Chapter 475: A Flashing Year (Part II)

Do not cheat the help of the newly established gangs of the poor in the nine towns of the mountain. As time passed, it continued to expand, and even the city of discernment, which was completely controlled by various families, had some anomalies as a result. The struggle of these pauper gangs did not affect the interests of the family, and the family was happy to see these poor people, who made up ninety percent of the mortals* in the entire Weiji Mountain, divide and fight with each other, which was beneficial to their control of the entire large class of paupers. As a result, many of the clans that were only in the city of Confession came out of the impregnable city one after another, secretly sending people to support some poor gangs, and through them to break the power of the family in the surrounding nine towns, so as to expand the power of their own families.

The original struggle for territory and interests between the poor gangs eventually evolved into a clash between the light and dark of the entire Weiji Mountain mortal family, and many middle and lower grade families hoped to break the power of the old high-grade families and become new high-grade families, and the high-grade families also hoped to annex other middle- and lower-grade families to make themselves stronger. This kind of conflict between mortal families gradually spread from Jishan to Xiaoguo Mountain and Fengshan, the entire elixir three mountains are peaceful on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent inside, the various forces confront each other, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation from which you will never recover.

Such a chaotic situation naturally inevitably affected the annual medicine rent harvest of Shennong Valley and other immortal sects. However, because these three factions control the elixir of the three mountains, the immortal family sects are being overwhelmed by the affairs of the scattered immortal cities in the mountains, and those families also have a lot of elixirs, which are enough to make up for the lack of medicine rent, so they did not let the three sects of the immortal family receive any losses. The three immortal sects that have been stationed in the mortal town for the past half a year are naturally aware of the chaos in the mortal city, but they don't take it seriously, and with the rules of the separation of immortals, they can't just meddle in the affairs of the mortal city. So they all chose to secretly inform the high-ranking members of these families when they sent people to collect the medicine rents of various families, so that they could do their best to calm down the chaos and calm the poor people in the city, so as not to affect the elixir tax in the coming year.

The undisclosed warning of the Immortal Family Sect did not have much coercion in the ears of those families, but it was like a hint, making those families mistakenly think that they had the support of Shennong Valley and other Immortal Sects, so that the family battle gradually came to the stage from the stage. As the source of the family's strife, each. The Poor Gangs inevitably became the pioneers of those families, with the big gangs annexing the small gangs and the small gangs ambushing the big gangs. The power of the ghetto is constantly changing. However, no matter how the power of the slums changed, the slums controlled by the Bitter Medicine Society have always maintained an astonishing calm.

When various towns fell into unprecedented chaos, Li Yongfeng, as the sect leader of the Bitter Medicine Society, did not take advantage of this to expand outward. Because he knew very well that expanding outward meant that the Kuyao Society would inevitably clash head-on with those families that were still very powerful to him, he adopted conservative strategies such as shrinking the control of the region, reorganizing internal affairs, revising the Kuyao Sutra, and establishing a more rigorous and detailed hierarchical structure of power. These conservative strategies allowed the Bitter Medicine Society to remain calm in the midst of the chaos, and it also became a place of yearning for those who took refuge in various towns and cities, and a large number of people poured into this area, making the poor base of the Bitter Medicine Society expand for the second time. In a short period of time, the membership of the Bitter Medicine Society exceeded 500,000. The core membership has also swelled to more than 20,000 people, and there are countless people who have a good impression of the Bitter Medicine Society and want to become members.

When Li Yongfeng also had a solid foundation, in the name of regional security and safety medicine collection, he established two semi-military and semi-civilian peripheral power organs, An Min Tang and Yao Cai Tang. Anmin Hall is similar to the secular patrol police, arresters and local garrisons, specializing in stabilizing the safety of the poor in the various branches of the Bitter Medicine Society, and the vast majority of the members are young members, and the total number of people is nearly 20,000, scattered among the nine towns of the Bitter Medicine, which does not seem very conspicuous. But in fact, many of the spontaneous patrols established by the core members among the poor should also be counted, and the members of these patrols are all prospective members who can join the Bitter Medicine Society at any time, and there are more than 80,000 people in each town combined, but they are not recognized by the Bitter Medicine Society on the surface.

The number of people in the Medicine Picking Hall was much larger than the number of people in the Anmin Hall, and almost all the Medicine Pickers in the area of the Kuyao Society were members of it. Every hundred herb collectors form a herb collection team, and the core of the herb collection team is all members of the Bitter Medicine Society who are skilled but unable to cultivate the Immortal Dao. Li Yongfeng taught all the worldly martial arts techniques he had obtained from Xu Changqing to these qualified members, so that their skills were enough to deal with ordinary unenlightened demon beasts. In addition, they also carried some spirit runes for enshrinement in the guild, divine arm crossbows made by craftsmen, and ten rune arrows engraved with evil breaking talismans, even if they encountered a spirit demon beast, it was enough to deal with it, and it was even possible to kill the beast for treasure. Because of the protection of the masters of the Bitter Medicine Society, the herb collectors of each medicine collection team can also collect the elixir with peace of mind, and the casualties have also been reduced a lot.

, 10,000 "Lu Feng will be earned." These herb collectors, who form the basis of the poor, are in their hearts. They were also firmly condensed around the Kuyao Society, and with the effect of the Kuyao Sutra, they became like the vast majority of other poor people.

It has been nearly a year since the establishment of the Bitter Medicine Society, and now the Bitter Medicine Society has become a powerful organization that is not weaker than any low-grade family, and its form has also changed from an ordinary mortal gang to a half-gang, half-religious strange force. In the mortal cities and towns of the Three Mountains of Elixir, there are bitter medicine halls established by the Bitter Medicine Society, similar to Western churches, and every three days in the form of mass sermons in Western churches, the universal equality and goodness of nature in the Bitter Medicine Sutra will be disseminated to the poor people. Almost the vast majority of the poor have read the Bitter Medicine Sutra, and have listened to the preaching of the universal masters in the Bitter Medicine Hall, many of them have become loyal believers in the Bitter Medicine Society, and more people have also subtly enshrined the Bitter Medicine Sutra as the foundation of their lives, respecting Li Yongfeng, the patriarch of the Bitter Medicine Society and the compiler of the Bitter Medicine Sutra, as the universal honor, and Li Yongfeng has also become a legendary figure among the poor people in the three mountains of the elixir.

The strength of the Bitter Medicine Society and Li Yongfeng's reputation among the poor people naturally could not escape the eyes of those families, and they also coveted the fat of the Bitter Medicine Society. Many low-grade families also secretly instructed the poor people's gang that they accused to attack the Bitter Medicine Society, but each time they returned with a feather, which in disguised form enhanced the reputation of the Bitter Medicine Society. The current Bitter Medicine Society is no longer a force that any low-grade family can swallow, even a middle-grade family may not be able to pose a threat to it, and there are rumors that there are middle-grade immortals in the Outer Gate Spirit Mountain who are not necessarily owned by some high-grade families in the Bitter Medicine Society, so that many families with different thoughts can only rest down and wait for the situation.

"Disciple see Master!" Li Yongfeng borrowed the token given by Xu Changqing, and moved directly from the residence of the Dongcheng Bitter Medicine Society to the back garden of the medical hall, and saw Xu Changqing casting a spell to channel the aura of the dragon's blood wood in the garden, and did not dare to disturb until Xu Changqing withdrew his hand, and only then did he respectfully step forward and salute.

Xu Changqing didn't pay attention to Li Yongfeng, but looked down at the dragon's blood tree in front of him that exuded brilliance, and said to himself: "Originally, I thought that cultivating a nine-section dragon's blood wood would be a month or two at most, but I didn't expect it to take me a year to give birth to the dragon's blood wood to the maturity stage of the eighth section. As he spoke, he sighed and said, "The immortal qi here is really too thin, and after the dragon's blood wood grows to the fifth section, the aura required is enough to compare with the ordinary high-grade elixir."

It takes more than ten days to spawn again after each spell cast, otherwise it will destroy the balance of the immortal qi of the entire fog town. Now that Fog Town has entered the autumn fog season again, the aura of Lower Water City has leaked out from the leylines, and the fairy spirit of Fog Town is only slightly thicker. It's just a little leakage of some aura, which makes the aura of Fog Town increase several times, according to the qi of the immortal spirits in the mountains in Shennong Valley is more than ten times that of the immortal spirits around Xiashui City and Shanghuo City, I am afraid that you mortals will not have time to enjoy the immortal blessings after you go, and you will already be killed on the spot. ”

Li Yongfeng didn't understand why Xu Changqing suddenly said such a thing, and he didn't dare to say the purpose of his coming here immediately, so he stood quietly aside, waiting for Xu Changqing's words. If a member of the Bitter Medicine Society saw their Sect Master standing so respectfully beside a seemingly ordinary person, waiting for this person's commandment, how horrified would they be in their hearts.

Xu Changqing turned around and looked at Li Yongfeng's gestures, which naturally exuded the majesty of a superior person, and a smile of approval appeared on his face. Although at the beginning, he only accepted Li Yongfeng as a registered disciple because he didn't want to owe favors and added the need for his own interests, but now it seems that the talent of the named disciple is really much more than he expected before.

Li Yongfeng has built up a powerful force of 500,000 people in just one year, which is enough to show that he has completely integrated the knowledge of power and strategy that he has passed on to him for more than a year. From the very beginning, Li Yongfeng secretly established other poor people's gangs, provoked fights between poor people's gangs, created chaos, and absorbed a large number of poor people, and later completely extended his power to the various families in the nine towns around Fenwu City, borrowed various means to thwart the annexation of the family, and based on the many forces in Fenwu City, Xu Changqing, who was the master, completely saw it. Without his own help, Li Yongfeng was able to do such a bottom, which is really rare, and Xu Changqing has already recognized his identity as a registered disciple in his heart.

ten thousand

Xu Changqing stepped forward and patted Li Yongfeng on the shoulder and said, "For more than a year, although you have been busy with chores, you still haven't forgotten to practice the heart refining method I passed on to you, and now you should have cultivated to the state of forgetting your heart, and it's time for you to master some self-preservation power." ”

Li Yongfeng, who had become very mature and steady, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this, and soon thought of what Xu Changqing meant, with irrepressible surprise on his face, and said excitedly: "Master, what do you mean."
