Eternal Cultivation: Starting with Three Generations Living Together

In the country of Jiao, among the high mountains.

It has been several years since Xue Li broke through to the late stage of An Jin.

In recent years, droughts and floods have been uneven, and people have been in dire straits.

It just so happens that this year is another bad year, with many places in Zhao State experiencing severe drought after severe floods. It seems that chaos has already begun.

The situation in Jiao State, which is closer to the south, is better than that of Zhao State, but signs of chaos are also spreading.

Xue Shaoyang was also tired of running these years, and he was about to be in chaos, so he turned around and hid in the deep mountains and old forests.

The deep mountains and old forests are inaccessible, filled with poisonous insects and miasma, as well as various ferocious beasts. This is the most natural barrier that can stop the large army of rebels.

But these did not have much impact on Xue Shaoyang. His own cultivation was at the peak of the late Anjin period. He was so powerful that he was not afraid of ferocious beasts, and he was proficient in medical skills. The miasma of poisonous insects could not affect him.

Unlike the army, no matter the sea of ​​people or the array of powerful crossbows, his life could easily be threatened.

So it’s better to be in the high mountains without people.

In the past few years, it would have been better to go to the wilderness in this deep mountain to survive.

Of course, he didn't go into this old forest alone. He brought a lot of good things with him when he went in.

A lot of salt, vegetable seeds, fruit branches for cuttings, a lot of medicinal materials, a cow, two pigs, two goats, two hounds, and a nest of chickens.

In addition, survival tools such as knives, bows, arrows, and flints are also fully prepared.

It will be much easier to survive in the woods with these things.

After driving for more than ten days in the old forest, he came to a place that satisfied him.

There is a small waterfall next to here, and under the waterfall is a small stream. The water in it is very clear, and there are small fish with white scales in it.

The land around the creek is very fertile and can be used to grow vegetables with a little care.

Yes, water and food issues can be solved here.

That's it.

Lao Xue found an open space and built a house to officially start his journey of survival in the wild.

Farm, hunt, raise pigs, collect herbs, and explore the surrounding area.

Build warehouses on the cliffs and dig cellars under the houses.

Collect wild honey and make beehives.

There is something new every day, and he is very busy every day.

For other people, the biggest difficulty in surviving alone in the wild is the ubiquitous feeling of loneliness, but for him, who is single-minded, this problem does not exist at all.

He enjoyed farming and hunting in the deep mountains and feeling the purest nature.

…

Yunze Lake, Copper Coin Island, this is a ring-shaped island that was originally the territory of the Water Crow Gang. However, a few years ago, the Water Crow Gang provoked the Black Wind Village and was bulldozed by Zhao Linze and his men.

After peace, this place became the territory of Heifeng Village.

This is a ring-shaped island that looks like a copper coin with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside, so it is called Copper Coin Island.

Zhao Linze brought a large number of people to build a branch here. He took a fancy to the island's inner lake.

The lake is quite deep and can accommodate several warships.

Zhao Linze had people build a water village at the exit of the inner lake, so that the inner lake on the island became its own.

As the original leader of the Ship Gang, the Cao family's shipbuilding and ship repair skills were first-rate. After using a large amount of precious wood that had been hidden before, the Ship Gang built seven brand new warships in these years.

These new ships are docked in the island's inner lake.

In addition to the two ships that Cao Weiman left early when he ran away, they have a total of nine warships in Heifeng Village.

The large ones of these nine warships can carry three to four hundred people, and the small ones can carry more than one hundred people.

With these nine warships, Black Wind Village can be considered a considerable force in Yunze Lake.

However, it is a pity that Heifeng Village, as a water bandit force, has difficulty raising people. So far, it only has a scale of more than 300 people, and there are only more than 100 elite sailors, and only an ordinary large ship can accommodate them all.

Although Yunze Lake is rich in aquatic products, and the island can still cultivate land, it cannot produce salt, so it cannot expand the population wantonly.

Salt is the most important seasoning. If you don't eat salt for a long time, the balance of water and salt in the body will be imbalanced, and the metabolism will be disordered, which will damage the nerves and cause various problems.

So the price of salt is extremely high.

In ordinary times, the tax revenue from salt can account for more than half of the government's tax revenue. But now that the world is in chaos due to uneven droughts and floods, the tax revenue from salt can account for 80-90% of the total tax revenue.

The prices have skyrocketed.

A pound of salt can be exchanged for three loads of pure white rice. Three loads of rice can feed a family of three for more than half a year.

This is still for ordinary people, but it is even more expensive for water bandits like them.

As outdoor people, water bandits cannot buy salt through formal channels and can only buy private salt.

The price of private salt is more than double the price of normal salt.

Therefore, Cao Weiman has been controlling the number of births in the village over the years, not allowing more children.

If there are too many people, they will just go around robbing houses like other water bandits.

Now, in order to maintain the expenses of these three hundred people, Cao Weiman was already working hard. If Zhao Linze hadn't been treating him with excellent medical skills, he would have died of exhaustion long ago.

Cao Weiman has always had one wish over the years, and that is - to recruit people!

There is no future for being a water bandit. In the end, you will either be wiped out by the government or annexed by other water bandit forces.

In order to prevent these situations from happening, he has been controlling birth control over the years while also trying his best to maintain the number of people in Heifeng Village and ensure his own strength.

Three hundred people currently seems to be the most appropriate number.

In order to maintain this number of people over the years, a lot of the accumulated wealth of the boat gang has been consumed.

He has been waiting for an opportunity, and this time of chaos is the opportunity he finally waited for.

In troubled times, heroes rise from all directions, and if you have soldiers, you will be the grass-headed king.

He has nine warships made of precious wood, the martial arts navy carefully trained by Zhao Linze, and a batch of crossbows and other weapons that he secretly took away before, plus all the information accumulated by the boat gang over the years, this Yunze Lake Why should those rioters and water bandits fight with him?

As long as the world is in chaos, he can unite all the water villages in the Lianhu Bay area and form a force that seems powerful enough to threaten Lianhu Pier and even Black Rock City.

When the time comes, we will slowly discuss with the government and request for recruitment. At this time, the government will have a high probability of agreeing in order to stabilize the situation in the Lianhu Bay area.

As long as this plan succeeds, it won't be long before he returns to the boat gang.

Of course, Zhao Linze fully supports Cao Weiman's plan. As long as this plan comes true, the probability of him getting a second blood carp will be even greater.

Now more than thirty years have passed since the last blood carp, and counting the days, the second blood carp should be born soon.

He really wanted to take this blood carp into his pocket and train the second blood carp, Xue.

Blood Carp Xue's qualifications are really great. He has extremely fast breakthrough speed, strong combat power, and the blessing of a special state of enlightenment. He is already invincible at the same level within the He Nian Sect, and he is even more crushing outside. Crush.

Whether this new blood carp Xue continues to be sent into He Nian Sect or takes root outside, it is excellent.
