The auction finally ended, and the hundreds of thousands of monks who came to Shangluo City did not leave. From Cheng Ling's mouth, he learned that Shangluo City was built by the Wuxiang Sword Sect, and coupled with what happened in the auction hall, even the East China Sea Dragon Palace could not get any benefits.

The strength of the Phaseless Sword Sect is indeed surprising, and in the past month, seeing the huge transaction volume of those shops in the city, and the rent and sale prices are very cheap, if their own sect and family can also have one in the city, it will be of great benefit to continue to operate.

Most of the resources in the city are monopolized by major forces, and it is difficult for ordinary small and medium-sized forces to survive. However, Shangluo City is different, the city is very large, the transportation network is also very developed, and there is really no such resource operation hub in the eastern region.

Moreover, now that the new city is being built, it needs the support of various forces on the mainland, and it is always more rare to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake. Thinking of this, the monks in the city sent letters to the bigwigs of their sects and families, persuading them to buy shops in Shangluo City.

The news spread, and for a while, the small and medium-sized forces around Shangluo City sent monks to negotiate with the City Lord's Mansion.

Xuan Wuxiang was so busy that the soles of his feet were smoking, since the completion of Shangluo City, he was appointed by Cheng Ling as the city lord, and everything in the city was decided by him. On the other side, notices were posted on all streets in the city for the Phaseless Sword Sect to recruit disciples.

The monks in the city were curious, and stepped forward to watch, but they were all surprised in their hearts when they saw it, good guy, the conditions for this Phaseless Sword Sect to recruit disciples are enough!

I saw that it was written: The rules for accepting disciples in the Wuxiang Sword Sect!

Before the age of fifteen, you can enter the Qi refining period and become an outer disciple of the Phaseless Sword Sect.

Before the age of thirty, you can enter the foundation building period and become an outer disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect.

Before the age of sixty, you can enter the Jindan stage and become an outer disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect.

Before the age of 100, he entered the Yuan Infant Stage and could be a disciple of the Outer Sect of the Phaseless Sword Sect.

Before the age of two hundred, he entered the god transformation period and could be a disciple of the outer sect of the Wuxiang Sword Sect.

Before the age of five hundred, he entered the distraction period and could be a disciple of the outer sect of the Wuxiang Sword Sect.

Before the age of eight hundred, he entered the merger period and could be an elder of the outer sect of the Phaseless Sword Sect.

Recruit children under the age of eight with excellent spiritual roots, and after three years of outer disciples, they can have the opportunity to become inner disciples!

Seeing such admission conditions, most of the monks were shocked. What does this mean? With such an age and cultivation ratio to enter the Phaseless Sword Sect, these people's qualifications must be at least average. And what does 800 years old represent?

Compared with the tens of thousands of years of life expectancy of Mahayana monks, 800 years old is a young man. The experience of this age is not very high, and it is usually spent in cultivation, and once it enters the Phaseless Sword Sect, it will soon form a strong loyalty and cohesion.

With such a standard of accepting disciples, it will take three years before you have the opportunity to become an inner disciple. The plan of the Phaseless Sword Sect is not small, do you want to replace the Duanmu family and the East China Sea Dragon Palace and become a powerful force in the east of the Canglan Continent?

They didn't know that the rules set by Cheng Ling at that time were more stringent and the age requirement was younger. It's just that Liu Qingyan vigorously objected after seeing it, and told him angrily: You think everyone is like you, with such ungodly qualifications and opportunities!

The two argued, and finally decided on this enrollment rule through joint discussion by Jian Wuya and others. Cheng Ling succumbed, although he said that he had a long-term vision for the development of the sect and was full of wisdom, but compared to the recruitment of disciples, he was still a sword in the end

Say some.

How can I say that people have also been the masters of the kendo academy for hundreds of years. Thinking of this, Cheng Ling said again: "Uncle Sword Master, Sect Master Xuan serves as the city lord of Shangluo City, everything is complicated, this sect intends to let you and Uncle Jian Wuhai also become the deputy sect masters of the sect." You are in charge of the inner door, and Uncle Jian Wuhai is in charge of the outer door, do you think it?"

Jian Wuya and Jian Wuhai were stunned, and seeing that he was very sincere, they sighed and said: "That's it, the two of us are old, and we can't help you too much, and the external threat is up to you to resist, so leave these sect chores to us!"

Cheng Ling was overjoyed and said, "Thank you two uncles. ”

At this point, the Phaseless Sword Sect has two more deputy sect masters, and as for Liu Qingyan and the others, they are cultivating and improving their cultivation with one mind, and they are responsible for the competition with the various forces in the Canglan Continent!

The mountain gate of the Wuxiang Sword Sect was wide open, and although the monks in Shangluo City had doubts, they couldn't help but be curious in their hearts, wanting to see what kind of sect the Wuxiang Sword Sect was. So, they rushed to watch.

Cheng Ling did not stop him, and during the month of opening the mountain to accept disciples, he welcomed the monks from the Canglan Continent to visit. Of course, this is only limited to the outer gate, and the core of the sect is that it will not be open to the public!

But even if it was just the outer door, the monks were shocked.

This...... This...... The first thing that caught my eye was a majestic and heavy mountain gate, and there were four big characters on the mountain gate, "Wuxiang Sword Sect", and there was a trace of fierce sword intent emanating from it.

This is written by Cheng Ling himself, ten percent of the sword intent plus the third-level kendo realm, the few big characters on the Guangshan Gate seem to be an extremely clever swordsmanship.

This is exactly the case, many years later, the Phaseless Sword Sect became the top sect in the Canglan Continent. At that time, the first condition for recruiting elite disciples was to observe Cheng Ling's handwriting and comprehend a sword technique from it!

After entering the mountain gate, thousands of mountain peaks surround, from a distance, a piece of seven-colored clouds shrouded in the top of the mountain peak, the rich aura on the mountain peak formed a curling green smoke, hazy and hazy look like a dream.

Beneath the peaks, there are lakes, rivers, pavilions, and antique buildings. There are also countless spiritual plants and grasses, green trees, colorful butterflies flying, and occasionally you can see some small animals and demon beasts.

The rich aura permeated the entire sect, making people feel as if their cultivation was improving just by breathing. This kind of cultivation environment is really beautiful, not much better than the nine major forces!

Of course, those cultivators also knew that what they saw in front of them was only a part of the Phaseless Sword Sect, and it was impossible for many cultivation secret realms and important places of the sect to be opened. I can't imagine how beautiful those places that can't be seen will be.

The news spread at an extremely fast speed, and the monks on the continent once again set off a craze to go to the Phaseless Sword Sect. In the first ten days after the opening of the mountain gate, only scattered monks came to participate in the assessment, and many of them did not meet the requirements and returned home.

But half a month later, more and more monks came, and even many monks from small and medium-sized families came, and there were some casual cultivators, and the number of people participating in the assessment skyrocketed. After all, with such a beautiful cultivation environment, no monk would be unwilling.

However, the sect is not just looking at the conditions that are announced, learning from the experience of the early stage of the Wuxiang Sword Sect and the internal discord within the Famous Sword Academy. Cheng Ling strictly demanded to control the identity and background of the monks who came to participate in the assessment, no

Say no, but ask for more stringent.

The opening of the mountain and the collection of apprentices are in full swing, and there is also excellent news in Shangluo City. Half a month after the auction ended, the Feng Yan Sect, the Shura Sword Sect, the Duanmu Family, the Dugu Family, the Ethereal Snow Sect, and the Murong Family all bought some shops and courtyards in the city.

As for the Zhao family, they own the Jade Capital City, but they don't plan to join in this excitement. Under the leadership of the six major forces, the rest of the sects and families also bought one after another, and soon the shops and houses used for sale in Shangluo City were sold out.

The families and sects that had not purchased it were suddenly dumbfounded, looking at the many vacant shops and houses in the city, and asked the City Lord's Mansion to sell them.

It's a pity that Xuan Wuxiang refused, his reason was that half of the shops and houses in Shangluo City were owned by the aborigines in a radius of thousands of miles, whether they were mortals or monks, if you wanted to operate in the city, you could only rent from them!

This is what Cheng Ling specifically requested. If a sect or city wants to develop and grow, it is inseparable from the surrounding living environment. Mortals are the cornerstone of monastics, and although they do not have spiritual roots, they can do things that many monastics are unwilling to do.

Moreover, the Phaseless Sword Sect continues to develop, and the monks in the sect communicate with mortals and low-end monks, and with their trust, the foundation of the sect can become deeper and deeper, and the source of life will be endless. I didn't see a small heavenly domain of Fengyan Sect, but there were millions of monks with more than a billion mortals as the cornerstone.

There is another point, only by giving these surrounding mortals and low-end monks enough benefits can they have a sense of belonging to the Phaseless Sword Sect, invisibly, a radius of thousands of miles will become the sphere of influence of the sect, and no one will be allowed to infringe on it at all. And over time, the coverage extends indefinitely.

The best way for a sect to develop is to achieve common prosperity, maintain close ties with the masses, come from the masses and go to the masses, and ensure sustainable development!

When Cheng Ling cautiously stated his policy of governance, the three deputy sect masters of Xuan Wuxiang, Jian Wuyan, and Jian Wuhai were stunned, and there seemed to be a large circle of ducks running over their heads, one circle after another, and .......!

All in all, in short, you Cheng Ling is the number one, you have the final say!

In desperation, those small and medium-sized forces who did not have access to shops and houses could only rent from mortals and low-end monks outside Shangluo City.

In this way, within the thousands of miles of the Phaseless Sword Sect, countless mortals and low-level cultivators have made a fortune. While they were overjoyed, they were also very grateful for the help of the Phaseless Sword Sect. But after all, there are many more mortals than monks, and there are still a few who can own shops in Shangluo City.

These people were all mortals who were extremely cooperative with the relocation when the city was built, or who gave help to the Phaseless Sword Sect. Thinking that his neighbors were still suffering as usual, he couldn't bear to go to the city lord's mansion, hoping to expand the city on the periphery of Shangluo City.

After all, when the city is prosperous in the future, there are countless merchants coming and going, and it is difficult to accommodate the city no matter how big it is.

Xuan Wuxiang asked Cheng Ling, who was naturally very happy, and said: "Sect Master Xuan, see it, this is the power of the masses, and a powerful defense will be formed outside Shangluo City!"

Xuan Wuxiang sincerely admired it, so he agreed. Since then, in less than a few years, Shangluo City has become more and more prosperous, and the size of the city has doubled, far surpassing Yujing City in the commercial field!
