Chapter 286 The Battle Between Cultivation Families

in the lobby.

Jinxian received Zhou Shengwen.

"The Zhou family, Zhou Shengwen, has met Fellow Daoist Jinxian." Zhou Shengwen said politely, cupping his hands.

Jinxian replied, "Senior Zhou, please sit down."

Zhou Shengwen sat down and looked at Jinxian nonchalantly.

The first feeling is strange, handsome and strange, especially those eyes, which make people feel inexplicable.

"I don't know what Senior Zhou is talking about?" Jinxian asked plainly, twisting his rosary.

Although Zheng Ming's intelligence network has not yet spread out, Jinxian still knows a lot about a cultivating family like the Zhou family.It's just that he didn't know Zhou Shengwen's purpose.

Zhou Shengwen looked at the rosary in his hand, did not answer, but asked, "Do you believe in Buddhism?"

There were also Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Dasheng Dynasty. Although the cultivation world was dominated by cultivation families, there were also many inheritances of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

With a smile on the corner of Jinxian's mouth, he shook his head slightly and said, "I believe in compassion."

"Being compassionate, hehe, it seems that Fellow Daoist Jinxian has a lot to do with Buddhism and Taoism." Zhou Shengwen thought that Jinxian had something to do with Buddhism and Taoism.

Jinxian didn't explain, and asked again: "Senior Zhou, why don't you tell us about your visit?"

Zhou Shengwen was silent for a while, and said: "Zhou is here to borrow some spirit stones from Fellow Daoist Jinxian."

"Borrow the spirit stone!" Jinxian was a little stunned. He had guessed various reasons for Zhou Shengwen's visit before, but he didn't guess that Zhou Shengwen came to borrow the spirit stone.

"How much to borrow?"

"One hundred thousand." Zhou Shengwen said.

"..." Jinxian stared at him, feeling that this guy was just joking.

One hundred thousand spirit stones!

Zhong Wanchou has been operating on Qinglan Island for a hundred years, and the number of spirit stones he has saved is only tens of thousands. Even including those spirit materials, the total is only a few hundred thousand.

As a result, Zhou Shengwen paid [-] yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. Isn't this a joke?
"We can borrow for three years, and we can pay [-]% of the interest." Zhou Shengwen said.

Jinxian shook his head and said, "Sorry, Qinglan Island doesn't have so many spirit stones."

"How many?" Zhou Shengwen asked.

Jinxian twirled her rosary and stopped talking.

This is not a question of how many, but a question of whether to borrow or not.

Why did he lend the spirit stone to the Zhou family?

Seeing him like this, Zhou Shengwen frowned.

He also knew that he came here a bit abruptly this time, the two parties had no relationship before, and if they suddenly came to borrow the spirit stone, it was naturally impossible for the other party to lend it to him casually.

"Our Zhou family can take the store in Moyuan Fufang City as mortgage."

Jinxian still shook his head.

The shops in Fangshi of Moyuan Mansion are indeed very valuable, but they are not cultivation families of the Dasheng Dynasty, so they cannot set foot in the Fangshi of Moyuan Mansion.

Zhou Shengwen's complexion gradually became a little ugly, but he still held his temper and asked: "If you want anything, fellow Taoist Jinxian, you can just tell me, as long as the Zhou family has it, I can sell it to you."

Jinxian's heart moved, and he said: "I need real treasures from heaven and earth."

"The real treasure of heaven and earth?" Zhou Shengwen lowered his head and pondered.

"Is Wannian Copper Essence okay?"

Jinxian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zheng Ming needs the treasures of heaven and earth, so he has been learning about various spiritual materials in the fairy land these days.

Wannian copper actuarial is a unique spiritual material that can only be produced in the spiritual copper mine. It is a high-level spiritual material for refining equipment, and it can be said to be extremely precious.

"Are you willing to exchange ten thousand years of copper essence for one hundred thousand spirit stones?" He said with some doubts.

If it is really ten thousand years of copper essence, then it is not worth the price of one hundred thousand spirit stones, even thirty or 500,000 spirit stones are worth it.

"Only two or three." Zhou Shengwen said in a low voice.

The Zhou family has a long history, and there are many precious spiritual materials left behind. The Wannian Copper Essence is their most precious thing now. If it is not for the lack of spiritual stones, they will never sell them.

For a family, a power, the background of resources is the most important.

Some things may not be used temporarily, but when they are really used, they can't be found even if they want to find them.

Although there are only a few ounces of precious spiritual materials like Wannian Copper Essence, they are hard to come by.

Jinxian came to a sudden.

Only two or three!

The ten-thousand-year copper essence is indeed precious, but it is not worth a hundred thousand spirit stones.

If you want to use Wannian copper to refine a weapon, it will cost more than ten catties.

Three 20,000 years copper refining is not enough to make a flying knife.

Just when Jinxian was hesitating whether to ask Zheng Ming for instructions, Luan Shen walked into the lobby and whispered something in his ear.

After Chaoshen left, Jinxian said, "A hundred thousand spirit stones are too expensive."

"How much can you give?" Zhou Shengwen asked.

"Fifty thousand." Jinxian said.

"The minimum is [-]." Zhou Shengwen's eyes lit up.

Although Jinxian's bargaining was ruthless, it also gave him hope.

Afterwards, the two bargained and finally settled on a price of [-] yuan, and agreed to trade on Qinglan Island three days later.

……

on the pier.

Jinxian and Zheng Ming looked at the distant ship.

"My lord, why is the Zhou family so eager to borrow spirit stones?" Jinxian asked, frowning slightly.

Zheng Ming glanced at the ship that was about to disappear on the sea, turned around and walked towards Fangshi.

"Because they want to become a second-rank family."

"This is not a secret in Moyuan Mansion. The Zhou family has been in contact with the Bei family some time ago, hoping to buy a Purple Cloud Pill. The Bei family asked for 300,000 spirit stones."

These were all told by Lu Shicheng. Although Lu Shicheng was only a great master before, he had heard about the recent situation of the Zhou family.

Jinxian suddenly remembered something and looked at Zheng Ming with a gleam in his eyes.

"If the Zhou family becomes a second-rank family, then the pattern of the northern counties will change."

"It has nothing to do with us. We only need ten thousand years of copper essence." Zheng Ming laughed.

Dasheng's cultivating family system seems to be the preferential treatment of the imperial dynasty for cultivating families, but it is more about making cultivating families compete with each other and be hostile to each other.

This is the conspiracy of the Dasheng royal family, and it is also the emperor's way of balance.

Avoid the practice family becoming bigger and affecting the emperor's rule.

But in Zheng Ming's eyes, there are many problems in the system of cultivating families.

One of the biggest problems is that it limits the path of promotion for most people.

The third-rank family does not want the grand master to advance and become a new cultivation family.

The second-rank family does not want the third-rank family to advance and compete with themselves for cultivation resources.

Similarly, the first-rank family does not want the second-rank family to advance and become their opponents.

And the royal family is trying every means to cause fights among Yipin families, so as to prevent them from becoming bigger.

Such a layer suppresses a layer, just like a pyramid, maintaining such a weird and weird system.

In a huge dynasty, a pyramid-like class system is inevitable. Even Dali has system flaws, but Zheng Ming has been working hard to maintain fairness in the system.

He built a complete cultivator training system to allow everyone to have the opportunity to advance.

Although it is much more difficult for ordinary people to advance to the next level than those from aristocratic families and officials, as long as the talent is good enough, they will have a chance to succeed sooner or later.

In contrast, the cultivation family system of the Dasheng Dynasty almost cut off the promotion path of all ordinary people.

If you look at Lu Shicheng and those great masters on Qinglan Island, you will know that they would risk their lives if they want to obtain a little cultivation resources. One can imagine how difficult this road to promotion is.

……

Sihai County City.

If the prefecture city is dominated by third-rank families, then the county city is dominated by second-rank families.

There are three second-rank families in the entire Sihai County, each of which is far superior to the third-rank families in strength and heritage.

And once the third-rank family becomes the second-rank family, then the third-rank family will enter the county and compete for their resources.

So for second-rank families, they absolutely don't want third-rank families to advance to second-rank families.

At this time, the heads of the three second-rank families in Sihai County City were gathering together to discuss matters related to the Zhou family.

Luo Duankong, the head of the Luo family, Jiang Wanchen, the head of the Jiang family, and Nie Changgeng, the head of the Nie family.

Under the condition that the masters of Tongxuan Realm did not come out, the three of them were the most powerful people in Sihai County. Except that the Xianling Yamen could not give them face, even the Sihai County Yamen would act according to their faces.

As for the Zhou family, they have only one attitude, that is to suppress.

"The Bei family did not agree. They refused to sell Ziyun Pill to us on the grounds that the Zhou family had made a reservation." Luo Duankong said softly, fiddled with the tea bowl in his hand.

Jiang Wanchen wore a white gown, with a square face, full of elegance like a scholar.

"As expected, the Bei family doesn't want to see another master of the Tongxuan realm appear among our three families." He said calmly.

But Nie Changgeng laughed, and said: "You Jiang family is to blame for this matter, who doesn't know that you are subordinates of the Xiao family, and Sihai County in the north is actually a subordinate of the Xiao family, aren't you provoking the Bei family? "

The Xiao family is one of the seven first-rank families of the Dasheng Dynasty. Its sphere of influence is in the west of Dasheng. Although its strength is not as good as that of the Bei family, it is still very powerful.

And Sihai County is located in the northwest corner of the Dasheng Dynasty, which is considered to be at the junction of the spheres of influence of the Xiao family and the Bei family.

Although Nie Changgeng said so, there was an envious look in his eyes.

Although it doesn't sound good to be an affiliated family of a first-class family, it can get a lot of benefits.

Even if they wanted to become a subordinate family of the Xiao family, the Xiao family was not willing.

The royal family and the imperial court would not look at those first-rank families recruiting a large number of affiliated families.

Jiang Wanchen took a sip of tea calmly, and didn't say much at this time.

It is not a glorious thing to be an affiliated family.

There are advantages and benefits, but it just doesn't look good.

"Let's talk about the Zhou family. If the Bei family disagrees, we can only start from the Zhou family. This time Zhou Shengwen went to Qinglan Island, it must be to raise spirit stones."

"And it seems that they have already reached a deal with Qinglan Island."

Jiang Wanchen said.

"So what should we do? Warn Qinglan Island or take action directly?" Nie Changgeng asked.

Luo Duankong said: "The background of the new owner of Qinglan Island has not been investigated yet, it is best not to act rashly."

Jiang Wanchen nodded in agreement.

It's not that they are overly cautious, but that they really don't want to offend a powerful enemy because of the Zhou family.

In the Immortal Land, there are countless powerful people and forces, and before they figure out the background, they act recklessly, which is simply courting death.

"Even if there is no Qinglan Island, there will be other forces. It is useless to destroy Qinglan Island. The key is still in the Zhou family." Jiang Wanchen said.

"Perhaps we can attack the Zhou family directly." Luo Duankong sneered and said, "After all, the sea area does not belong to our Dasheng territory."

There are also rules for fighting between cultivating families, and direct fighting is not allowed, at least not fighting on the bright side.

Sneaky, as long as it is not blatantly breaking the rules, no one will take care of it.
