XXXIV. Exchange and Intelligence (2)

They used these spiritual lands to either establish families or establish sects, and then over time, some grew stronger and some weakened. If a family is weakened and dies, the spiritual land will still be taken back by the Ji clan and given to the rest of the meritorious officials. And those who have grown ...... No matter how large it is, it is limited, and it is impossible to shake the rule of the Hi family here.

- The so-called spiritual land is to have a source core that can continuously produce spiritual energy. The scale of those spiritual lands near Baonan County is very small, for example, there is a spiritual well in Xuanyang Temple, and in some places it is a spiritual spring...... Etcetera. This kind of spiritual land can only accommodate one or two people to cultivate at most, and no matter how much spiritual energy is available, it will not be able to supply, so it is impossible to cultivate any large-scale immortal cultivation families or sects, at most it is passed on from master to apprentice, father to son, and only a few people.

However, the foundation of the Hi family is an entire fairy mountain. Among them, there are spiritual stone veins, although the intensity of the spiritual energy on the mountain cannot be compared with those immortal mountains flying in the sky. In the mortal world, it is already a unique treasure land, this is what the Ji family has, the largest treasure land for cultivating immortals within a radius of tens of thousands of miles in this area: Baoyun Mountain.

In fact, the name of the country also comes from this - the ancestors of the Ji family are said to be the ethnic group of the holy king Dayu, and they are enshrined as members of the side branches of the royal family. At that time, all the human royal families were immortal cultivators, and they had cultivated immortals as their main business for generations, and the fiefs they were rewarded were naturally places with abundant spiritual energy, as the inheritance of the family.

The Ji clan was enshrined in Baoyun Mountain, where they cultivated and practiced the law. Later, the branches and leaves, the population became more and more numerous, so the ordinary mortals were moved to the south of Baoyun, and the country was established to guard it, and there was Baonan County.

But to this day, Baoyun Mountain is still the most important and core territory of Baoguo. The reward of the Baohou Spiritual Land is at most only to give people those scattered and small spiritual lands on the periphery, and the core area of Baoyun Mountain is never allowed to be set foot by people outside the Ji clan. Even if they are from their own family, if they don't have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, they are not allowed to enter the range of Baoyun Mountain.

With such a foundation, the Hi family is also blessed to cultivate immortal cultivators. Although there have been ups and downs in the past 10,000 years, each generation can still have one or two Fa Yuan Immortal Masters in the town, and this is also the biggest guarantee that their family can continue to this day.

However, the Fa Yuan Immortal Master of the Ji clan rarely went out of the mountain, and in most cases, he did not intervene in the daily affairs of the family. The successive princes are often not the highest in the family, but only the most politically capable. This is quite similar to those of the great sects - managing the secular affairs will be distracting and affect the ascension realm. No matter how powerful he is outside his body, he can't be as reliable as his own cultivation after all.

And outside of the Ji clan itself, there are no big immortal cultivation sects or families near this Bao country - the phrase "how can others sleep on the side of the couch" has not yet appeared in this world, but the spirit has long been carried forward. Unless there are super sects like Kunlun and Qishan floating in the sky, they are magnanimous and do not interfere in the mortal world, and most of the major sects and big families in the world are relatively "clean".

However, there are quite a few small families and small sects, of course, they are all completely subordinate to the descendants of the ministers and guest ministers of the Ji family, otherwise they would not be allowed to exist. Over the years, there have been ups and downs, and now there are more than ten that are still relatively prosperous.

Among them, in the vicinity of Baonan City, the most powerful are the families of the two Hou Mansion governors, one surnamed Zhao and the other surnamed Bai, both of whom have followed several generations of Baohou and have been loyal to the old courtiers for many years. In addition, it is the Xuanyang view of Lou Laodao himself, and the Tielingzhuang of Su Tiecheng, the third chief of Baohou Mansion.

Xuanyang Guan can be ranked first, mainly relying on Lou Laodao's relatively strong personal strength and hard support. In terms of manpower, wealth, and territory, and other factors, the Xuanyang view of only one old Taoist priest and a few little Taoist children is definitely not comparable to Tielingzhuang. However, because the latter has risen for a relatively short time, it has only been more than 20 years. Moreover, Su Tiecheng was originally just a casual cultivator, with no foundation, but after being recruited by the Ji family, it was under the full development that it had today's scale.

Of course, Huang Chang was more interested in Su Tiecheng's information - since this guy was making trouble for him, he would definitely pay more attention. And after listening to Lou Laodao's introduction, he also roughly understood why this person jumped out to target himself first - is his heart weak, lest he also want to seize the spiritual land.

Xuanyang Guan is the property of the Baohou Mansion is not moving, but Tielingzhuang is already under the name of the Su family, if the Su family is not capable enough to keep the foundation, then the Ji family will not take care of it - Su Tiecheng took it by similar means. If Huang Chang is interested, as long as he obtains the understanding of the Ji family, it is not difficult to take it for himself if he does a better job.

Although he knew that Lou Lao Dao's introduction might also be a bit of a disaster, Huang Chang still inquired more about the Su Tiecheng, and the old Taoist priest then smiled and pointed in a certain direction on his side:

"Deputy Chief Su is watching you there. ”

"Oh?"

Huang Chang was in this garden today, and since he sat down and talked with Lou Lao Dao just now, he had already felt that there were countless eyes of attention gathered on him, and there were countless divine sense warnings, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them. At this time, after listening to the old man's reminder, he turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man with a dark face and cold eyes standing there, looking at him coldly. Seeing that he turned around, he didn't avoid his gaze, but looked at himself without flinching.

For this kind of goods that come to trouble him for no reason, Huang Chang will naturally not give in the slightest. The look in his eyes immediately returned to the past with the same coldness. The two stared at each other for a moment before they retracted.

And in their hearts, they almost all have the same feeling - this guy has an extraordinary face, and if he becomes an opponent, I'm afraid it will be difficult to entangle.

............

Since this garden banquet, the "political status" of their old Huang family in Baonan City has risen significantly. Specifically, the number of socializing sessions of Huang Chang's father and brother has increased significantly, and the level of communication has also increased. And because she was born in a merchant family, it was difficult for Huang Mu to integrate into the social circle of local noblewomen, but she also received a lot of invitations from the circle of noblewomen.

However, Huang Mu was not interested in this, she was not a keen communicator, but just went to socialize a few times out of politeness. When he came back, he found Huang Chang and asked him if he had any intention of marrying - those women, whether overt or secret, showed their intentions in this regard, and Huang's mother would care about her after she came back.

Huang Chang was very relaxed in front of his mother, and immediately laughed when he heard this, saying Mom, you don't have to worry about it, my son and I have already solved it by myself - I met a junior sister on Kunlun Mountain, if nothing else, you will have a fairy daughter and daughter-in-law in the future!
