Volume 1 The Story of Asama Chapter 3 Ten generations of heads
The demon clan has an almost eternal lifespan, of course, this is for heaven-level cultivation, but even for Xuan-level cultivation, it has a lifespan of nearly six hundred years, and the human race's foundation building cultivator with comparable strength is only three hundred years.
Will the laws of heaven and earth favor the demon clan so much?
The answer is no. The Terrans have more skills to assist in cultivation, formation attainments, spell inheritance, spell refiners and pill organs, these demon clans are not good at it, although for thousands of years, all kinds of skills and demons have improved, but the limitations of culture and talent, resulting in these auxiliary cultivation means, are still heavily dependent on the supply of the Terrans, of course, the Terrans deliberately reduce the price of low-end items to impact the market, and the technical blockade of high-end items is also one of the reasons.
The main cultivation method of the eternal inheritance of the demon clan is to devour each other and directly improve.
Monsters with similar attributes can absorb each other and gain an increase in cultivation. However, thousands of years ago, the Demon Alliance Elders stopped this behavior. Giving birth to the natal dharma, and then turning into a human being, for the demon race, it is a one-tenth probability thing, if they devour each other, it will only greatly reduce the population base of the demon race, and it is not beneficial for the demon race to learn the skills of the human race, and eventually surpass the human race to become the master of this continent. Therefore, the law of the demon clan stipulates that only the parties involved in the civil war of the demon clan and those who have made a duel contract can devour each other. Violators, extermination!
Why did it take great pains to transform into a human form to be the core value of the demon clan?
The reason is the same, the human form is the most balanced battle body type that integrates attack and defense, and if you want to use the magic weapon charm of the human race, only the human form is the most suitable.
These values also influenced Jiang Feng, and even most of the Northern Continent Demon Clan's way of doing things, of course, specific sects had their own different characteristics. The council hall model is one of the most important systems of the Asayama sect lineage. The Council of Elders, which is held once a quarter, will jointly decide the main affairs of the sect, and as part of the respect for the head of the sect and the system, the elders will send letters to the head of the sect in advance.
The red message means that the important issue needs to be decided collectively, while the yellow color means the ordinary and non-urgent issue, and the blue message means that the head has already been dealt with and informed the head of the matter for filing.
One red and two blue, theoretically speaking, there is only one thing that needs to be dealt with, saying that more is better than less, how good it is to have that time to cultivate and improve yourself, but for Jiang Feng, it is not worth being happy.
It's a long story, and to put it bluntly, he's a weak leader.
The historical origin of the Qianshan Sect can be traced back to the civil war of the demon clan seven hundred and fifty years ago, the black snake general Lin Dong was awarded the twenty-eight generals of the Heavenly Seal because of his achievements, and obtained the qualification of the opening of the sect of the Qianshan Sect, but due to the dark disease in the body, he soon fell into retreat and cultivation, and in the face of the situation that the cultivation of the children is not high, and the successor of the sect is weak, he created the black snake generation mechanism before his death, and the successive heads of the Ashala Sect will be possessed by the main body of the black snake spirit of his natal law, and the elders will be possessed by the spirit of the black snake, forcibly promoted their cultivation, and thus gain a foothold in the chaotic separation。
The effect of the Black Snake Spirit possession is obvious, and depending on the resources invested, the cultivation level can be raised to the Xuan level or even the prefecture level. Guarding the shallow mountain sect is only two hundred miles from east to west, and only six hundred miles from north to south, which is more than enough.
The sect of the demon clan is divided into feudal systems, and the feudal sect can be kept peaceful for eight hundred years, and no demon clan sect is allowed to take the initiative to attack, but the key weakness of this system is that it has no binding force on the human race.
There is no free lunch in the world, and the spirit of the black snake will greatly deplete the life force of the host, and even hinder the further improvement of cultivation. Within ten to a hundred years, the host's cultivation will be swallowed by the spirit of the black snake and decline all the way, and if the unfortunate cultivation drops to the spirit level, the body will be destroyed. From the first generation of the head of the sect to the ninth generation of the head of the sect, they could not get rid of the shackles of the black snake spirit possession, which was also the direct reason why the previous generation of the head of the sect was crazy about cultivation, and even gambled almost all the resources of the sect for this purpose, and dived into the sea of chaos and stones to find opportunities.
The spirit of the black snake is in the body, like a boat against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. The heads and elders of the past dynasties were all trapped here, but the temptation of forcibly improving their cultivation was still a "good medicine" that could not be refused by the people of the Qianshan Sect who did not have the support of cultivation resources.
Jiang Feng got the position of head last year and spent a lot of money. Before the nine generations went to the Troubled Stone Sea, at the request of the elders who stayed behind, Jiang Feng was orally appointed as the heir, so the position of the head of the family, from the perspective of the patriarchal system, was his. But Jiang Feng couldn't take out the spirit stone of the Black Snake Spirit Possession Ceremony, after all, the resources that could be sold in the sect had already been sold by Ren Dao, so he could only sell the rights in his hands, and then ask several vassal families to 'crowdfund' to solve the cost problem.
First, the head of the sect was sacrificed for his veto power in the sect of elders, except for foreign wars, the head of the sect only had one vote;
Second, Jiang Feng's position as the head of the family after a hundred years no longer has to be held by Hou Yi, the bloodline of the first generation of the head, that is, the only remaining bloodline family of the first generation, including the "Seven Treasure Gourd", "Seven Leaf Xuanshen" and "Hundred Fruit Snake Lotus";
Third, the income, taxes, and fruits generated by the resources of the sect can only be used for the expenses of the sect's related affairs, and the head of the sect has no right to use it privately.
Despite this, the possession ritual of the Black Snake Spirit still did not have enough formation resources, just like the head of the eighth and ninth generations, he could only raise Jiang Feng's cultivation to the Xuan level instead of the ground level.
Xuan-level, which means that the speed of cultivation devoured by the spirit of the black snake is faster, Jiang Feng has always doubted whether the head of the previous generation died in the battle of the Chaotic Stone Sea or died from the devouring of the spirit of the black snake, after all, before leaving, his cultivation had dropped to the second level of the Xuan-level, which was the same as his current cultivation.
Five years, I'm afraid that at most, I, the short-lived ten-generation head of the sect, will have to give up his position due to near death and become the shortest-lived head of the Assayama Sect. Therefore, under the premise that the income of the sect is very small and cannot be used privately, only by participating in treasure theft and quickly collecting money can you obtain enough spirit stones, buy pills that are helpful for cultivation, and reduce the negative impact of the spirit of the black snake, otherwise, not only will the position of the head of the sect not be guaranteed, but even your life will become a problem.
The world is so big, there must be a way to solve the curse of the black snake spirit, but this means must be expensive, and it also takes time to find it.
If the cultivation falls, there is no time to talk about. It's a locked dilemma.
There are three messengers at your fingertips, and the first one is the red one. The matter came from Wang Xiandao's report, the current law enforcement elder of the Asa Mountain Sect, the patriarch of the "Mandala Flower" vassal family, the sixth generation of elders had married their family, and he was also the only elder who did not follow the head of the previous generation to go to the Troubled Stone Sea, so he survived and cultivated to the Xuan-level Sevenfold, which was the highest cultivation in the sect. The seniority is also the deepest in the sect, and the law enforcement elder is responsible for all the maintenance of the law in the sect. The things mentioned in the message are also very simple, the case of Ren Xiaolong, the son of this sect, who caused trouble, needs to be dealt with urgently, and he asks for the opinion of the head of the family.
Ren Xiaolong is the bloodline child of the first generation of the family, born in the "Seven Leaves Xuanshen" family, and in terms of blood relationship with the previous head of Ren Wudao, he is closer than Jiang Feng's "Seven Treasure Gourd". Cultivating as a spiritual level sixth, three months ago, he fought with someone outside for trivial matters and injured the other party, this is a trivial matter, but the other party is a disciple of the outer sect of the Li Sect, and the relatives grasp this matter and insist on it, so they have to arrest Ren Xiaolong to deal with it, and this matter needs to be ruled by the elders of the sect, whether to come forward to save it.
Naturally, it will cost a lot of money to keep it, and the reason why Wang Xiandao reported this matter is nothing more than to test his determination to protect the first generation of bloodline families, he is also from the first generation of bloodline, if he can't keep him, then it will directly affect Jiang Feng's reputation among the three first-generation bloodline families. As the highest cultivator in the sect, he has always had the ambition to seize the position of the head of the sect, but on the surface, he is low-key and kind, and he does not show his grandeur.
Headache, money again. Jiang Feng rubbed his hands on his forehead for a long time before opening the second message.
The second message came from Zheng Luda, the current secular elder, the patriarch of the "Soul Nourishing Flower" vassal family, cultivated as a Xuan-level six-fold, and once accepted the Black Snake Ceremony with Jiang Feng, as a doppelganger possession, the effect can reach the Xuan-level six-fold, which is also a lot of money, the Soul Nourishing Flower family has always been responsible for maintaining the spiritual mine, the spiritual spring and the cultivation of the spiritual field, and the maintenance of trade routes, although many of these profits have been sold, but the people who handle them still have a lot of profits, and they are considered "wealthy households" in the sect.
Zheng Luda's report is very simple and clear, the twenty-year water right of the Western Cold Spring signed by the previous head has expired, he has renewed it with the other party, the price remains the same, and he will hand over the three hundred first-level spirit stones to the sect's treasury when he turns around, and he also specifically mentioned that according to the agreement when Jiang Feng succeeded him, these three hundred and first-level spirit stones can only be used for the purpose of the sect.
Bah!
Even though he had been rubbed and destroyed by several elders on the ground a few times, Jiang Feng was still angry. The price signed by the nine generations at that time was almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing, after all, it was an urgent money, and now that the water rights of the western cold spring were signed, how could it be that the price was still according to the previous agreement, which must be in the pocket. Fifty percent of the water rights, according to the flow of the cold spring, can nourish at least five hundred acres of spirit fields, including labor and seed costs, even if the lowest level of the first level spirit valley is planted, the annual income will not be less than one hundred level spirit stones, this guy actually sold only three hundred level spirit stones for twenty years?
Damn, his heart can be punished!
The third message came from Zhao Wenjun, he is a casual cultivator, the natal law phase 'carved paper umbrella', for casual cultivation to join the sect, as long as the number of monks does not exceed 100 people, and the cultivation realm does not exceed the master, they are all protected by the patriarchal law of the demon clan, which is different from the cultivation family, the number of scattered cultivation that the cultivation family can accommodate is limited to ten people, and the cultivation cannot exceed the master, not the realm. This is also where the value of the sect relative to the cultivation family lies.
Zhao Wenjun is an elder of the Gong Inheritance, he has talisman making skills at hand, the success rate of the second-level spirit rune has reached thirty percent, and he has also roughened the fur of the formation, which is quite difficult for the demon clan monks, and the small sect like the Qianshan Sect can recruit a loose cultivator like Zhao Wenjun, and the efforts of the nine generations of heads are indispensable. Among the five best cultivation caves near the eye of the sect's great array, there is one Zhao Wenjun.
Zhao Wenjun begged to raise his half-yearly salary from fifty to one hundred, and also listed a lot of reasons for this, such as hoping to be the same as other elders and not to be treated differently, including the trivial reasons why his wife and children want to raise him, he lives a very delicate life!
The requirements are very simple, the salary increase, and the effect is obvious!
Isn't 20 percent enough?
Yes, it seems that the "Purple Copper Grass" clan is working behind it, and the Purple Copper Grass is also one of the three major vassal families, and the patriarch Wu Quanzhong serves as the elder of the internal and external affairs of the sect, which is basically an idle position for the small sect, and has no real power except for one vote in the sect council. It is reported that his sister Wu Xiaolin and Zhao Wenjun are in love and will tie the knot soon.
This is obvious, Zhao Wenjun is assisting Wu Quanzhong, and this matter is not harmless to him, and one more benefit will naturally benefit his cultivation.
Promise him!
Jiang Feng found that he had no choice, and now all he could choose was to continue looking for money!
