When he mentioned this, Master Zhankong became solemn.
"Leader, I just wanted to talk about this matter last, because it involves a secret, which I only learned about recently."
"speak."
Lin Shan sat down nonchalantly and waved for him to speak quickly.
"This time we sent ten teams of people to sneak into different locations in the Liluan Mountains. They explored almost all active and extinct volcanoes in the volcano group and discovered more than 20 target points."
Master Zhankong spread out the map and pointed it out to him one by one.
"so much?!"
Lin Shan was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that the volcanic rock was so easy to find.
"The volcanoes containing spiritual veins basically produce volcanic spiritual rocks, so it can be said that they are everywhere, but there is an issue of ownership."
Master Zhankong spoke eloquently.
It turns out that volcanic spiritual rock is a very famous spiritual material in the weapon refining circle of the cultivation world, and is very suitable for refining fire-attribute magic weapons.
It can also play a huge role when used in formation alchemy.
Therefore, it attracted many monks to come from across the country to dig up this kind of stuff, and began to resell and wholesale it, and even gradually developed into an industry.
Later, because this thing was so profitable, it was absorbed by the top forces and became their own. No one except them was allowed to exploit it!
Even after so many years, it has become a cash cow, delivering massive profits to Zhongyu every year!
"In other words, this cake has actually always belonged to the four major families in the Central Territory. It is their forbidden property. No one else is qualified to get involved, including the local Shangyang Academy?"
Lin Shan understood. No wonder there were no rumors about this in the outside world. It turned out that it had been secretly controlled by the top forces of Lu State.
Now that I have occupied northwest Shandong, when I decided to search for resources, I found that these places were already well-known and owned.
It's just ordinary cultivation resources. They snatched a few from the indigenous forces in northwest Shandong. These people dared to be angry but dared not speak out. They swallowed their anger and could only hold their noses and admit it.
But it concerns those four companies in the Central Region...
"Leader, do you think we should take a long-term approach?"
Master Zhankong asked carefully and observed Lin Shan's reaction.
He prefers to stabilize first and not cause trouble. The Xun Gu Sect and the Lujiang League have made great strides now. It is not wise to develop a wave of digestion first. Making enemies everywhere is not a wise move.
Lin Shan thought for a while.
"In this way, you immediately draft four identical official letters in my name and send them to the four top forces in the Central Region, saying that I am interested in the volcanoes in northwest Shandong and asking them to use the resources of this spiritual land.
Give it to me."
Master Zhankong was shocked and hesitated.
"Really? Isn't it too arrogant?"
"No, feel free to go."
Lin Shan has a steelyard in his heart.
If he keeps silent and directly seizes the resources of the four established forces, it will be tantamount to a blatant provocation and is likely to anger the other party.
But if he takes advantage of his current victory and the fact that he has actually controlled northwest Shandong to discuss control with the other party, then the other party will most likely sell him off.
Master Zhankong took the order and left.
He happened to pass by Hu Buju who had just walked in from outside.
When the little fox girl heard that Lin Shan was back, she rushed over with her brother and rushed into his arms as soon as she saw him!
"Young Master, woo woo woo, I finally see you again~"
Lin Shan firmly grasped her shoulder with one hand, motioning for the little girl to be more reserved, and looked at the young master of the Fox clan who walked in with a complex look on his face.
"My promise has been fulfilled, and you haven't left in the past few days?"
Hu Buju replied: "I plan to take my sister to say goodbye to Brother Lin and leave. Thank you very much for the hospitality during these days and for rescuing my little sister. Everyone in my Fox clan is grateful. This favor should be considered a debt."
Once you get it, you can send it anytime in the future!"
Lin Shan nodded and didn't try to persuade them to stay. Things were over here and he was busy with other things, so he didn't have time to entertain them anymore.
But the little fox girl refused to give up and struggled in his hands.
"Young master, I don't want to go back, I want to stay with you! It took a lot of effort to get here, why do you want to take me back?"
"Nonsense!"
Hu Buju yelled loudly, obviously worried about his ignorant sister.
"Do you know that your story has spread throughout the surrounding human cultivation world, and many people are eyeing you. If you don't go back to your clan quickly, why are you still wandering around outside?"
"and..."
He glanced at Lin Shan slightly and said with a hint.
"Now after these days of fermentation, among the many rumors in the cultivation world, there have been negative rumors about Brother Lin colluding with the demon clan. We should not stay for a long time, lest we continue to cause trouble to others."
"I don't!"
The little fox girl was not stupid at all, and she immediately understood that her brother was trying to squeeze her. She immediately hugged Lin Shan's arm and said that she could hide behind the scenes and help him take care of his daily life, such as playing with chickens and dogs.
With that said, he started looking for Xingfu, calling Brother Chicken and Lord Demon Dog. Obviously, the memory still stayed at that time.
Lin Shan reluctantly took out the Star Mansion and told her that neither Brother Chicken nor Lord Demon Dog were with him anymore, and it was empty inside.
"Then I can help you raise insects. You are so busy and you just need an insect master to take care of you!"
"Can you breed insects?"
"certainly!"
The little fox girl arrogantly puffed out her chest, saying that this was one of the innate abilities of the fox clan. After saying this, she winked proudly at Hu Buzu.
Seeing that his sister refused to let go and had to stay by Lin Shan's side, Hu Buju sighed.
"That's all, I won't stay in college, so you can do whatever you want! Anyway, I've run away from home so many times, and I don't want to care about you anymore."
"I was kidnapped before, do you think you can take care of it? I'm not even in the Nascent Soul stage, so I still have to rely on the young master to save me?"
The little fox girl pursed her lips, with disdain for her brother in her tone. She made Hu Buju blush and stammered angrily:
"Okay, okay, okay, then you follow him, I...I'll go!"
The fox went out without raising its front legs, only to turn back with its hind legs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He said with a serious face:
"Brother Lin, before I leave, I have something to say to you alone. Little sister, please stay out of the way first."
The little fox girl tried to persuade her, and then reluctantly left temporarily.
After Hu Buju confirmed that there was no one around and that only he and Lin Shan were in the hall, he spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Lin, you should know that my little sister carries the demon blood inherited from our clan. Once she reaches the level of demon elixir cultivation, she will naturally be able to condense the demon baby, and she will be the successor of our clan's next clan leader."
"etc!"
Lin Shan interrupted him: "Aren't you the young patriarch of your clan?"
Hu Buju drooped his head:
"Of course not, I'm just showing up to block the gun. In fact, my little sister's bloodline is much richer than mine, and my mother's expectations for her are much higher than mine. She's always been positive and negative, so I'm still shouldering the responsibility of protecting her.
Her responsibility."
"But she has always been so out of touch. She has been restless since she was a child. She has always wanted to leave the clan and see the vast world outside."
"Perhaps she is pestering you because she smells a sense of security in you. You are the only human being she feels is reliable. With you, she can see all the great things in the world."
"The demon clan also yearns for freedom and likes to follow the strong. Sometimes I actually envy her because she has a simple mind and is not stained by dust..."
...
This was the first time Lin Shan heard this statement.
It turns out that the little fox girl insists on following him, not just the innocent Mu Qiang.
Maybe after he kidnapped her for the first time, not only did he not mistreat her, but he actually returned her to the demon clan as promised afterwards, thus gaining her trust, which led to today's scene.
"I still have a question. As long as you have the inherited essence and blood of your demon clan, you can 100% break through the Nascent Soul stage and ensure that the clan will not be separated from the demon king?"
"How is that possible!"
Hu Buju shook his head and told him that it would be very convenient only when condensing the demon baby, but other messy steps, such as demon essence, demon body, demon consciousness, thunder tribulation, etc., still have certain risks.
"And there is only one inherited demon blood, which is just right for her to use. If you want to take away her virginity and break the gong before her demon infant, then it will be much more difficult for her to break through to the fifth level demon king in the future.
..”
Obviously, the reason why Hu Buju stayed was to talk about this.
Afraid that Lin Shan would lose control one day, he pushed the little fox girl to the ground!
Or you may want to take away its inherited demon blood to improve your own strength or secret skills, which will double the difficulty of the original owner's cultivation.
"Don't worry, I'm already a Nascent Soul, I don't need her help."
Lin Shan gave him a reassurance, and Hu Buju let go of his worries.
It seemed that he was about to leave, but he was a little reluctant and started to chatter.
"Next time we meet, I will definitely become a baby. Then I will invite you to the Fox Clan in the Swallowing Star Mountains as a guest..."
...
One month later.
The crowd cheered and salutes were fired.
The ruins of the original Shangyang Academy and the new fairy city were built.
After everyone in the Lujiang League participated in the discussion, Lin Shan personally made the decision and officially named it:
Set the mall!
It goes without saying that this time the entire Lujiang League went on an expedition to pacify the hostile forces in the northwest, so this memorable achievement was simply given the title of Fairy City.
It is also to deter the surrounding local forces!
Most of the indigenous people in northwest Shandong also paid tribute, paid tribute and gave gifts during this period, and attached themselves to various sects in the alliance.
And a reply came from the Central Territory.
The four Confucian families, the Confucian family, the Meng family, the White Deer Academy, and the Jingyang Academy, all agreed to Lin Shan's request and peacefully transferred the mining rights to the volcanic spiritual rocks in the Liluan Mountains in northwest Shandong to the Lujiang League.
This also expresses a layer of meaning, representing respect for Lin Shan's strength and recognition of the Lujiang Alliance.
Generally speaking, the cake in the world of cultivation is only so big. As new forces rise, interests must be redistributed, so they can only take the share of the old forces!
The four Confucian families obviously considered this a lot and decided to give each family a little benefit in exchange for the stability of the situation in the world of cultivation.
Especially after the battle with Zhong Shenxiu!
Master Xun Gu is famous all over the world, and everyone knows that the genius of the Confucian sect was completely defeated and fled under this man.
Furthermore, the Year of Wanhui has just begun, the situation is changing, and the geniuses from all walks of life are beginning to show their prowess. Most of the forces choose to wait and see what happens, and do not dare to act rashly, so they acquiesce to the rise of the Lujiang League.
The destruction of merchants and Shangyang Academy just ended like this.
The State of Lu has been ranked among the top ten academies for so many years. Although there are differences in rankings, it has established legislation to spread martial arts in various areas and cultivated a large number of low-level monks for the world of cultivation.
It can be said to be a relatively important link in the Confucian system.
Even if some academies decline or collapse along the way, there will always be new academies to take their place.
This time, there is a faint rumbling in the world of cultivation.
According to rumors, the Lujiang League seems to be opening a new academy and does not plan to select candidates from local universities.
As soon as this news came out, many representatives from third-rate universities who rushed to northwest Shandong to seek new opportunities were doubtful.
When they finally arrived at Ding Shopping Mall, they found that a couplets had been set up at the entrance, and both rows of reception booths were packed with people.
Take a closer look at these people!
"Lujiang Academy Admissions Brochure".
Many people gathered around and read every sentence.
"Taoism enlightens Xintang, and our school educates virtuous people;"
"The teaching field is great, and the students' ambitions are high."
“The career path is broad and the majors are many and strong!”
"No need to worry about the road ahead, let's have a good time together!"
...
These people couldn't help but open the book and found that it was indeed rich and colorful.
"Teaching from Ruyifang Beauty, Personally Enlightenment and Double Cultivation of the Code".
"Professor of the Third World Pagoda's Mechanism, teaches Tiangong to create things step by step".
"The ascetic leader of the Liuyang Sect will help you develop the body of a boy".
"Elder Heiku of the Xungu Sect and the master of weapon refining are here to teach you the Dharma"!
...
The various titles are dazzling and intriguing, especially the cover of Ruyifang, which actually talks about "double cultivation" openly and puts it on the table!
The Confucianism of the State of Lu was a state of governance, etiquette, justice and integrity were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Who was not sneaky and who dared to be so bold?
Lujiang Academy is the first to set up a "dual study" course, welcoming students with corresponding majors to carry out systematic learning.
As for employment, there is no need to worry at all.
The foundation-building deacon of Ruyifang said during the admissions process that regardless of gender, this graduation package will definitely be distributed!
There are also other Third World Tower air shows, where the large-scale flying boat magic weapon that was recently used in actual combat exercises to destroy merchants and Shangyang Academy was displayed as a gimmick to attract students.
The most powerful one is undoubtedly Elder Hei Ku of the Xun Gu Sect.
The master of weapon refining!
This one is more sensational.
Many disciples of the sect family had obviously heard the news a long time ago and came all the way to be their disciples. Many of them even came from the Central Region!
They come from a prominent family and have many connections. It would not be a problem for them to be admitted to Bailu Academy or Jingyang Academy, but they chose Lujiang Academy.
They all come for the reputation of being a master of weapon refining in the Nascent Soul stage!
On the tower.
Looking at the hustle and bustle below, there is an endless flow of people, and there are more monks in the distance, coming from all directions in the Lu Kingdom.
The senior officials of the Lujiang League smiled and nodded.
Ding Mall was first built. If it wants to develop, it needs population, consumption, and investment!
The Lujiang Academy was built in the city, and they released a message of massive enrollment expansion, gathering the leaders of hundreds of schools in the alliance, and gathering heroes from all over the world. This was exactly the purpose of their move!
Just when the outside world is busy.
city ​​center,
Master Zhankong hurriedly came to Linshan.
Chapter completed!
