Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division
Chapter 665 Changes in Shangyuan City
Mo He sat cross-legged in the air, closing his eyes and constantly stabilizing his cultivation.
At this time, his mind could detect everything outside, but he could not speak.
Zhao Mu waved his hand casually, and the majestic aura and Mo He disappeared in an instant, and the country road returned to peace.
"Under the protection of this poor Taoist, no one on the Vast Sea Continent can detect that you are practicing here, so you can rest assured to stabilize your cultivation."
"When your cultivation is stable, you don't need to come to me again, just go back to the South Region by yourself, and you will still be in charge of the Hive."
"When someone takes over the Hive in the future, it won't be too late for you to return to the Vast Sea Continent. At that time, this poor Taoist will officially confer you the title of God."
"Remember, the matter of accumulating merits should not be neglected. What kind of godhood you can get by then depends on how much merits you have accumulated."
After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he crossed his legs, lay on the donkey and swayed away.
"I spend the day leisurely, looking at the mountains and walking around the pond. I open the book to find ancient stories, and turn the pages to compose new poems!"
"Compared to the turbulent southern region where people are fighting for fame and fortune, this secluded place is free and easy..."
With a leisurely laugh, the little donkey gradually disappeared at the end of the trail.
...
Shangyuan City.
In the endless spiritual root rice fields, the people have begun to harvest the fields.
Different from the previous sorrows, the faces of the people today are filled with happy smiles.
Because some time ago, the president of the city's Chamber of Commerce, Lord Wei Liang, took over the entire Shangyuan City and the spiritual root rice business from the Xie family.
Since then, the planting and sale of spiritual root rice in Shangyuan City, as well as the tax revenue to the court, have all been handled by President Wei.
The people don't know the details, but have only heard some rumors.
It is said that Xie Lian, the ancestor of the Xie family, is more than 3,800 years old.
Originally, with his cultivation in the Manifestation Realm, his life span was about to come to an end, and the coming of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man was not far away.
But I didn't expect that the old thing, who was worse than an animal, had a great fortune from nowhere, and recently worshipped a mysterious master?
No one knew who the master was. Even the powerful masters in the city had only heard a few words from the Xie family.
It is said that the master had extraordinary means. After preaching to Xie Lian for three days, the latter had an epiphany and reached the sage realm that he never dared to think of.
Xie Lian was also a greedy person. He didn't break through enough, and he wanted the master to preach to the whole family to double the overall strength of the Xie family.
The mysterious master claimed that he had a predestined relationship with Xie Lian in his previous life, so he did not refuse the latter's request, but put forward conditions.
The master asked the Xie family to gradually reduce their involvement with the mundane world from now on, and put more attention on cultivation.
After all, if the cultivation of Taoism is too tied up by the mundane world, it will not be able to achieve great success.
Xie Lian agreed after considering it.
Because everyone knows that the strong are respected in this world, as long as you have enough strength, you can have everything you want.
Haven't you heard that the Wanyu Taoist has unparalleled cultivation, even the Lieyang Empire, even the founding saint Chu Jinghong, have to bow down in front of him?
Xie Lian obviously thought that he would let the Xie family concentrate on cultivation first, and wait until they are stronger in the future, and then come out to fight for the desired interests.
So since then, the Xie family has gradually reduced their personal involvement in various matters.
For example, the business of the spiritual root rice was handed over to Wei Liang, the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, the Xie family did not give up the spiritual root rice business.
The business still belongs to the Xie family, and Wei Liang is just a big housekeeper who manages it for them.
The profits from the spiritual root rice production every year still have to be handed over to the Xie family.
The people don't care about how Wei Liang is involved with the Xie family?
They only care that the way President Wei does things seems to be completely different from that of the Xie family.
Since Wei Liang took over the spiritual root rice business, the people suddenly found that they could actually start to receive wages.
The wages were very generous. In addition to supporting the family, there was actually a lot of surplus left.
In this way, everyone's life will be better and better in the future.
More importantly, President Wei actually gave everyone that body-protecting soul pill, which is said to be able to resist the toxicity of spiritual root rice.
On the one hand, they have money!
On the other hand, their health can be guaranteed!
With hope for the future, the people are naturally happy.
So now the harvesting of spiritual root rice in the fields is a scene of bustling activity.
But I heard that recently many dignitaries in the city are very jealous of President Wei taking over the spiritual root rice business.
It seems that many dignitaries went to the Xie family today, either by coercion or bribery, and wanted the Xie family to hand over the spiritual root rice business to them.
Many people are worried about this.
After all, other dignitaries are not as kind as President Wei.
Everyone has only had a few days of good life, are they going back to hell again?
…
Xie family, reception room.
More than a dozen top dignitaries from Shangyuan City sat on both sides.
Xie Zhong, the head of the Xie family, sat in the main seat and looked at everyone coldly: "Everyone, I already know what you just said, but the business of Linggen rice is still managed by Wei Liang, and this will not change."
Everyone looked at each other, and a middle-aged man said: "Brother Xie, why are you so stubborn? What's the difference between handing the business over to Wei Liang or to us?"
"Yes, Brother Xie, we will give you twice the profit that Wei Liang promised to hand over to you every year, how about it?"
"Brother Xie, Wei Liang is just an outsider, but we have lived together in Shangyuan City for many years. Why do you want to let an outsider take advantage of you?"
"Brother Xie, we usually see each other every day. Does the Xie family really want to offend everyone at once?"
Everyone was persuading him, and even threatened him implicitly.
Obviously, these people wanted to take advantage of the changes in the Xie family and pounce on them to eat a piece of meat.
Xie Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to speak again.
But suddenly, a loud shout shook the whole hall: "Shut up, everyone!"
It was Xie Lian!
Everyone's face changed, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Xie Lian did not appear, but his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
"A bunch of little bastards, you are really brave. You dare to come to my Xie family and act recklessly. Are you looking for death?"
Everyone was frightened. An old man laughed and said, "Don't be angry, ancestor. We just come here to talk. Don't let this hurt the harmony."
"Talk?"
Xie Lian snorted coldly, "Don't think that I don't know who is standing behind you. A group of old things don't dare to come, but let you guys come to the door. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill people?"
As he spoke, a terrible breath fell, and everyone's face turned pale.
They were even more frightened. It was rumored that the ancestor Xie Lian had broken through the sage realm. It seemed to be true!
What was even more terrifying was that there was a mysterious master standing behind the ancestor Xie Lian, who could make him break through the sage realm directly after three days of preaching.
In this way, today's talks might not be successful.
