Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit

Early the next morning,

Xu Sanyan opened the quilt and got out of bed. As soon as he stood up, he was hugged by a plump body from behind. Wang Zixuan pressed against his back and whispered,

"Brother Lin, be careful. The fourth elder who was originally in charge of the Western District is from the eldest lady's family. Although he has no enmity with my mother, he has little contact with her."

"Yes." Xu Sanyan agreed, turned around and squeezed hard, stood up and left amid Wang Zixuan's charming cry.

Wang Zixuan did not go with him because she had other things to do, and she needed to arrange the forty magic weapons.

Just when I opened the door, I saw a servant waiting outside the door. He bowed and saluted, "I have met Mr. Lin. I have asked him to choose a house. Please come with me."

"good."

Xu Sanyan followed the servant and walked out. When he walked out of the Wang family's mansion, he looked up at the steep mountains behind him. The sunlight was half blocked by the mountains, making the city a little dark.

The two of them walked across the street one after another. Xu Sanyan looked at the neatly arranged small courtyards on both sides. These are the residences of the Wang family's branches.

Occasionally, I passed by some larger houses, and the servants introduced me that these were the residences of the royal family.

The servant stopped in front of a medium-sized house and said, "This yard will be owned by Mr. Lin from now on."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door, revealing a courtyard with three entrances. The ground paved with bluestone was clean and tidy.

The servant took him around, and Xu Sanyan saw a small garden in the inner courtyard, which was extremely elegant.

"If the master needs some maids and servants, you can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose them. They are all collateral children of the Wang family. They are cheap and can be used by your own family." The servant smiled strangely, as if he meant something.

"Hmm...ok."

Xu Sanyan nodded, his family is worthy of being a big family, they really know how to play with their own family.

"If the young master has no other instructions, I will leave."

"Um."

Xu Sanyan took out two spiritual stones from his storage bag and threw them to him. The servant took them, bowed his thanks, turned and left, and helped close the door.

Xu Sanyan sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and looked around. This house will be his from now on.

"Bang bang bang~"

There was a knock on the door, followed by a man's voice, "Is Mr. Lin at home?"

Xu Sanyan was a little surprised. Someone came to his newly proposed house before his butt was even hot?

Pushing open the door, I saw two young men standing outside. They looked similar, except that one was slightly taller and the other was slightly shorter.

Xu Sanyan narrowed his eyes, came empty-handed?

The tall young man cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Wang Ying, this is my younger brother Wang Yu. I have met Mr. Lin."

"What do you two want from me?" Xu Sanyan tilted his head slightly.

Wang Ying, Wang Yu, English?

Wang Ying said, "We were working under the Fourth Elder. I heard that Mr. Lin took over the position of the Fourth Elder, so we came here to meet him so that we could inform him of the situation."

"I see."

Xu Sanyan nodded clearly and stepped aside to open the door, "Come in and talk."

"good."

The three of them were sitting under the pavilion. Wang Ying said, "Young Master Lin is here for the first time. I'm afraid he doesn't understand many things, so I'll explain it to him."

"Thank you." Xu Sanyan motioned for him to speak.

Wang Ying tapped on the stone table and said, "Thousands of miles around Qianqiu City is the territory of the Wang family. There are a total of twenty-seven large and small families. The Feng family was destroyed not long ago, minus one."

"Twelve sects, I heard that Bailong Temple was also slaughtered, and one more was reduced."

Wang Ying gestured to divide the stone table into four pieces, pointing to the west piece, "This is the land under the jurisdiction of Mr. Lin. There are four clans and one sect, which is much less than the other three areas."

Xu Sanyan nodded slowly. From this comparison, he realized that it turned out that the Xibian family had so little power, no wonder they could be given to him to take care of. It was probably because the profits were too small and no one was willing to take over.

After this happened to the Wang family, many lucrative positions were vacant, and no one was willing to take over this barren land in the west.

Wang Ying didn't know what he was thinking, and continued, "The four clans are all small clans. They have always been honest, and there is never a shortage of offerings every year. There is no need to worry about it, but that clan needs more attention."

Xu Sanyan looked at him puzzled and said, "How?"

"That sect is called "Xuanku Mountain". There is a breast cave in the mountain. There is a pool inside the cave, called the breast pool. The water in this pool is very precious. It can be taken internally to purify the lungs and organs, and externally used to strengthen the body. It is The most precious treasure in Xuanku Mountain.”

Wang Ying paused for a moment and then said,

"The Xuanku Mountain is not weak, and its sect ancestor is also a strong man in the Hedao realm. Although it is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Wang family, it is more like a country within a country. It does not pay tribute and only trades ten drops with the Wang family every year. Tan Ru.”

"Transaction?" Xu Sanyan sounded surprised. Do you still want to spend money?

"Well, back then the head of the family made an agreement with the ancestor of Xuanku Mountain that the Wang family would spend spiritual stones to buy ten drops of pool milk from Xuanku Mountain every year."

"Can't you buy more?" Xu Sanyan had some guesses, but still asked.

Wang Ying shook her head, "It's not that they don't buy it, but that they don't sell it. If it weren't for the strength of the Wang family, even these ten people wouldn't be willing to sell it. Such treasures have a price but no market."

"really……"

Xu Sanyan nodded in approval. If he owned this kind of treasure, he would probably not want to sell it to anyone else.

Wang Yu interjected at this time, "What the head of the family means is that we need to force Xuan Kushan, but we cannot push them too hard. While restricting their development, we must also find ways to obtain more Tanru,"

"The previous method of the four elders was to support the four small families, let them be the first to compete with Xuanku Mountain openly or secretly, and we would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

"Xuanku Mountain is stronger than the four families, but they dare not really take action against them due to the rules set by the Wang family, and can only compete within the rules."

Xu Sanyan was silent, thinking quietly, and suddenly asked, "What are they competing for?"

Wang Ying explained, "Of course, it is to earn spiritual stones. Xuanku Mountain has many disciples, and the daily cultivation expenses are also very high. Qianqiu City is one of the two large cities in Luanyun Mountain, and there are many cultivators. If you want to earn spiritual stones, you naturally have to come here."

"In addition to Tanru, Xuanku Mountain also runs many businesses in this city. Xuanku Dan Pavilion is their business. At the same time, they are also good at cultivating spiritual medicines, which is also a considerable income. "

Xu Sanyan nodded slowly. So that's it. Then he asked, "How did the fourth elder do it specifically?"

"Price reduction."

Wang Yu introduced, "No matter what kind of herbs Xuanku Mountain cultivates, we will ask the other four families to cultivate them together. We will openly reduce the price to purchase the herbs from Xuanku Mountain, and secretly purchase the herbs from the other four families at the real price."

Wang Ying added, "But we can't force them too hard. We want them to make money, but not much, just enough to maintain daily consumption."

Xu Sanyan raised his eyebrows. It sounds so familiar. It seems that he has heard it somewhere...

"What if they don't come to Qianqiu City to sell?"
