Strange mountains and rivers

There is no doubt that Chen Huaisheng's advancement to the Purple Mansion Soul Condensation Realm, coupled with Gongsun Sheng's formal joining of Dahuaishan, has a huge impact on the various forces in Huaiyang City.

Cao Yuxiu has always thought that the cooperation between the Cao family and Dahuaishan is just a short-term temporary cooperation, which may come to an end in three to five years.

He did not hold much hope that Dahuaishan could survive the attack of Tianhe Sect and Yuelu Sect, but he did not expect that Chen Huaisheng would magically advance from a middle stage of foundation building to a Purple Mansion True Lord in a few years, and he was also a True Lord in the Soul Condensation Realm. This is incredible.

In addition to Chen Huaisheng, Dahuaishan also obtained the formal joining of a casual Purple Mansion cultivator, which means that Dahuaishan has two Purple Mansion True Lords. In addition, there seem to be many hidden and hidden alien cultivators behind Dahuaishan, which has to make the Cao family seriously consider long-term cooperation with Dahuaishan.

Not only the Cao family, but even the Kang family, which has the Beirong Murong tribe as a backer, is also considering this issue.

Although the Murong tribe of Beirong is quite powerful, it is too far away and feels out of reach; secondly, the Murong tribe itself is also facing conflicts with its neighbors such as the Duan tribe and the Yuwen tribe. They can provide some support to a family like the Kang family that is deeply rooted in the Wei Huai Dao, but they cannot invest too much.

They all saw that the Tianhe Sect seemed to have a tendency to shrink and was only willing to defend Weiheji. As for Huaiyang City, they would support it if they could, but if they really couldn't support it, they could give it up. In this case, the Cao and Kang families had to seriously think about the future of the two families.

That's why the Cao family wanted to introduce the Pan family of Hanshan Dao.

But now it seems that it should be the wisest choice to hold on to the rapidly rising Dahuaishan.

Cao Yuxiu knew very well what a True Lord of the Purple Mansion Condensing Soul Realm who was less than 40 years old meant. The key point was that this guy only took three or four years to step from the sixth level of foundation building to the Purple Mansion Condensing Soul Realm. His rapid progress was a miracle.

What about ten years later? What about twenty years later?

Doesn't it mean that maybe when he is sixty or seventy years old, he can challenge the Golden Elixir Avenue and become the Golden Immortal Patriarch?

Because of this, the Cao and Kang families attached great importance to Chen Huaisheng's visit and received him with considerable courtesy.

Chen Huaisheng didn't expect that when he came, all the leading figures of the Cao and Kang families showed up to receive him and accompanied him throughout the whole process, which made him a little flattered.

He didn't realize the huge impact and influence brought by his entry into the Purple Mansion.

The Purple Mansion and the Foundation Building are completely two different concepts.

The Foundation Building is a potential strong man, and the Purple Mansion is a real boss.

This can also be regarded as a visit of Chen Huaisheng. The Cao and Kang families in Huaiyang City are currently the most important allies of Dahuaishan Mountain. Stabilizing the relationship between the two families is crucial to ensuring the spiritual materials and resources needed by everyone on Dahuaishan Mountain, which also includes some low-level spiritual treasures.

In addition to Huaiyang City, Chen Huaisheng also has to go to Minjialou and Baitapu on Fuyang Road. These are old connections. Now that the relationship with the Ning family in Youzhou and the Fengyi Sect is stabilizing, the relationship between the two families must be stabilized.

The Min family and its surrounding clans will be an important source of disciples for Dahuaishan Mountain, as is the Sun family in Baitapu. In addition, Huaiyang City is currently the main area for Dahuaishan Mountain to recruit disciples every year.

Ju Zhenzhen and Yan Chixia also traveled with Chen Huaisheng.

The reason why they were brought out was that Zhao Sitian and the others were still in seclusion. The two of them are now in the first level of foundation building, and there is still a gap from breaking through the second level of foundation building. Then, someone needs to be considered to take charge of the general affairs in Dahuaishan Mountain. It is impossible for themselves, Zhao Tang, Wu Tianen and others to be responsible for everything. Now there are more than ten foundation building cultivators in the mountain, and it is time for them to share or be responsible for a piece of business.

For example, the contacts with these places involve the distribution of spiritual materials and spiritual treasures, the payment of a certain amount of taxes in the local area, and the introduction and recruitment of disciples. All of these require the gradual formation of an effective system to promote implementation.

Take Huaiyang City as an example. With a population of 170,000 to 180,000 in the surrounding area, it involves the cultivation of spiritual plants in Chenling and Matougu, the production of many spiritual lands, and medicine shops and elixirs. These are what the Cao family controls, while the Kang family is mainly a trade channel to Yunzhou and Beimo in the north. Now Chen Huaisheng and his team are here to negotiate with the Cao family and Kang family one by one.

If the previous discussion was still a temporary one and had not formed a fixed pattern, and Chen Huaisheng's disappearance in the past three years also made the attitudes of the Cao and Kang families somewhat ambiguous, but now the situation has reversed again. It is time to carefully discuss and implement each clause.

"Brother Yu Xiu, Brother Bo Cheng." Chen Huaisheng bowed, and Ju Zhenzhen and Yan Chixia also bowed.

Cao Yuxiu and Kang Bocheng also bowed, "Master Huaisheng, two Taoist brothers."

Cao Yuxiu and Kang Bocheng also had complicated feelings.

Let's not talk about Chen Huaisheng. The "miracle" of this "strange man" makes people have no chance to even look up to him. Let's not talk about it. Even Ju Zhenzhen and Yan Chixia made them sigh with emotion.

When they were building their foundation, they were basically around 80 years old. Moreover, at the foundation level, almost every time they advance to a higher level, they need to spend a lot of time practicing and consume a lot of spiritual materials. Generally speaking, the middle stage of foundation building is their limit. At that time, they are generally over 140 years old, and it is almost impossible to go up.

But these two, although they are at the first level of foundation building, are only in their 50s.

In other words, they are almost 30 years older than the two of them when they were building their foundation, which is almost a world of difference.

The gap of thirty years determines that these two people can hope to reach the high level of foundation building before they are eighty years old, and they can hope to reach the Zifu before they are one hundred and twenty years old. Because of this, Cao Yuxiu and Kang Bocheng Both of them were filled with envy and some expectations.

They knew very well that this was the huge difference between ordinary wealthy families and sects.

Even though the Dahuaishan group still looks like a grassroots team, having two Zifu True Monarchs is enough for them to stand upright in front of forces such as the Yuelu Sect, Fengyi Sect, and the Ning family. The voice is more confident when speaking.

Based on Cao Kang's understanding of the current situation of Dahuaishan, if the current Dahuaishan group is given thirty to fifty years, it is really possible for Dahuaishan to develop and grow into a large sect that rivals the Yuelu Sect and Fengyi Sect. Door.

Five, six, or even seven or eight Zifus, twenty, thirty, or even thirty or forty foundations, and hundreds of Qi Refining disciples. This is the strength of a large sect in Hebei or a middle-to-upper sect in Da Zhao.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Now the Cao family and Kang family have to seriously consider how to cooperate with sects like Dahuaishan in the next step.

"Brother Yu Xiu and Brother Bo Cheng, I'm afraid you all know our intention of coming to Huaiyang. We have communicated through letters in the early stage. This time, we just hope to finalize some specific matters with you two... "

Chen Huaisheng said frankly: "Although the current situation in Hebei is still chaotic, as far as our Wei Huaidao side is concerned, it has gradually stabilized. The Tianhe Sect controls Weiheji, but has no intention of interfering with the trends in other places. It is becoming more and more obvious that we have also communicated with the Tianhe Sect, and they have made it clear that they will no longer care about matters outside of Weiheji..."

Cao Yuxiu and Kang Bocheng both looked unhappy.

Of course they are also aware of this situation, which means that the Tianhe Sect plans to completely abandon Huaiyang City. And what kind of reaction will the Yuelu Sect make when they learn this news?

"To tell you the truth, not long ago, we had a confrontation with the Ning family in Youzhou. We reached an agreement with the Ning family on Fuyang Road, which is demarcated by Wolong Ridge..." Chen Huaisheng didn't care either. He continued to talk to himself: "From Wolong Ridge to the west, all the way to Luyanpu and Taoyuan Town, to Huaiyang City and Dahuai Mountain, this vast area can be regarded as our Dahuai Mountain's sphere of influence..."

Kang Bocheng frowned: "Master Chen, I'm afraid it won't count just because the Ning family has spoken, right? Where's the Fengyi Sect? Where's the Tianhe Sect? And what about the Yuelu Sect and the Pan family of Hanshan Road?"

"I said before that the Tianhe Sect will no longer care about Wei Huaidao's affairs. Except for Weiheji, which does not allow outsiders to interfere, it does not care about anything else. Dongyuan Town and Xiongyang Fort are under the control of the Yuelu Sect. We also know that the Yuelu Sect is infiltrating Taoyuan Town, and Luyanpu will be my next stop. I have also contacted people through people. In Taoyuan Town, I want to borrow your connections to help me connect... …”

Cao Yuxiu and Kang Bo Chengdu looked embarrassed.

Cao Yuxiu shook his head and answered: "Master Chen Xian, this may be a bit difficult. You are so frank, and I won't hide it from you. Here in Huaiyang City, our two families are willing to cooperate with Dahuaishan. After all, Dahuaishan will be in front of us." , as long as Dahuaishan has enough strength, We will not protect outsiders, but in Taoyuan Town, I am afraid that not only the Yuelu Sect is interested, but the Pan family also has their own ideas and intentions. Even if we have some connections in Taoyuan Town, they will not listen to us in the face of real threats and interests. of,……"

Chen Huaisheng also didn't expect that Taoyuan Town would actually attract the covetousness of the Pan family of Hanshan Road. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yu Xiu, I want to ask, if the Pan family has such a big appetite, do they have the strength?" "?"

This question was difficult for both Cao Yuxiu and Kang Bocheng to answer.

Cao Yuxiu thought for a while before reluctantly saying: "The situation of the Pan family is more complicated. In fact, it is a big family, but it is divided into two branches, the north and the south. The relationship between the two sides is bad and conflicts continue. The south branch is stronger, with about five In Zifu, the northern branch is slightly weaker. With three Zifu, there are hundreds of disciples, but in reality The control area is relatively small. Hanshan Road is originally the smallest road in Yanzhou. Nanpan and Jinhongmen have been competing for the dominance of Hanshan Road. The North Branch is oppressed by the South Branch and always hopes to avoid conflict with the South Branch, so they I just want to go north and capture the area of ​​Taoyuan Town near Hanshan Road."
