Top Luck: Leading the family to cultivate immortality

Chapter 495 The Meeting Opens

When Lin Tianming and the others heard this, they also fell into silence and did not immediately reply to Chen Maohua.

However, when Chen Maohua saw that none of the three people expressed their opinions, he thought that the Lin family had some scruples or had no intention of forming an alliance.

So, Chen Maohua looked sincere and quickly started to persuade.

"Three fellow Taoists, now that the Wei Kingdom is about to return to peace, our two major families are at a disadvantage. If Wanyaogu and Zhenyang Sect have any intentions, we are no match for them if we fight alone!"

"What's more, a meeting will be held in a few days to allocate the basic interests of the major forces. Judging from the behavior of Zhou Yunxiao and Lu Xingfeng, it is very likely that they will join forces to suppress our two major families..."

"..."

Chen Maohua talked a lot in one breath, from the situation in Wei to the distribution of interests left by the Golden Sword Sect, and comprehensively analyzed the challenges that the Chen family and the Lin family were about to face.

But in fact, even if he didn't say it, Lin Tianming and the others had already expected it and had some mental preparations.

After a long time, Lin Shikang said slowly: "How does Fellow Daoist Chen plan to cooperate with my Lin family?"

Seeing that Lin Shikang relented and seemed to be interested, Chen Maohua breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he continued: "In terms of family business, the Lin family is good at refining weapons, and our Chen family is good at making talismans. We might as well purchase a certain amount of treasures from each other at the lowest price possible!"

"In addition to this, various other materials for refining weapons and talismans can be traded directly, allowing precious resources to be exchanged, and shops to be opened in the cities under their respective jurisdictions."

"Haha... Our Chen family has two major markets under its command, and the popularity is quite considerable. I can make the decision. Wuchang will give two shops to the nobles to help you quickly establish a foothold."

"I believe that with the help of our Chen family, the business of the nobles can quickly expand to other areas of Wei. It is not impossible that the Lin family will be present in every city."

……

Chen Maohua talked non-stop, seemingly confident in the influence of the Chen family.

Lin Tianming and the other three listened for a long time and were thinking about it privately.

It has to be said that the conditions offered by Chen Maohua are indeed generous, and he comes with sincerity.

After all, the Lin family will indeed expand their business in the future. At the very least, all major cities in the Wei Kingdom's immortal world must be fully covered.

In order to support a large family with thousands of people in the future, and to keep the Lin family competitive, they had to take precautions and accumulate more treasure resources.

To achieve this goal, without a big war like destroying the Golden Sword Sect, we can only slowly accumulate through formal means such as business.

Otherwise, you can only explore the treasures in the cave, or engage in sneaky things like killing people and stealing goods.

This kind of collection of treasure resources is fast and has great benefits, but it is also dangerous. After all, it is not a serious way.

In addition, the Lin family is a righteous family and has always paid attention to family culture and reputation.

With such innate conditions, how could he do such crooked things under the premise of good form?

Knowing this, Lin Tianming and the other three communicated privately and asked each other's opinions.

Soon, the three of them reached a consensus on forming an alliance with the Chen family to cooperate.

After confirming the matter, Lin Shikang looked at Chen Maohua, then raised his hands and asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen, to tell you the truth, our Lin family does need an ally so that we can deal with the threats from the other two sects when necessary in the future."

Hearing this, Chen Maohua breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great. After all, Zhenyang Sect and Wanyao Valley have a long history. On the surface, they are quite polite to our two clans. But if we really face huge interests, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not target us!"

"Besides that, the Wei State is currently in a weak stage. In order to deal with the covetous Queen Huang, she is willing to form an alliance with us!"

"If we want to get a share of the pie in peacetime, it will be extremely difficult."

Chen Maohua sighed with a heavy expression.

In fact, what he said was truly inspired, and it resonated with Lin Tianming and others.

Because the facts are before our eyes, and it is exactly what Chen Maohua said.

You must know that during peacetime, the Myriad Medicine Valley and the Zhenyang Sect also exploited the Foundation-building families they sheltered.

Whenever there is a crisis, the family monks are forcibly recruited to serve them. Any dangerous tasks are given priority to the family monks.

In the end, these family monks paid the most but received pitifully little.

At the very least, the benefits are controlled by these top forces, and the various resources below are firmly in their hands.

Comparing what the two parties have paid and received, there is a huge difference.

It's just that due to their strength, most of the family monks dare not speak out when they are angry, and they dare not disobey orders.

It is precisely because of these conditions that the previous major Jindan sects in the Wei Kingdom, even the Zhenyang Sect with the shortest inheritance time, have been able to stand firm in the Wei Kingdom for seven to eight thousand years without falling.

And all of this is the importance of strength.

But speaking of it, the world of cultivating immortals has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and the territory of Qingzhou has also been developed for more than 10 years.

For such a long period of time, the top forces in each major region were like this, thus forming an order over the long years.

Only with order can the world of cultivating immortals not be disrupted.

In this way, if you look at it from the perspective of Zhenyang Sect and Wanyao Valley, such behavior is excusable.

However, no matter what, if a force wants to rise, it cannot avoid collision with top forces.

Even if you don’t mean to create conflicts, the reality is like this!
Even if you don't take the initiative to provoke others, you won't be able to prevent the eventual conflict from breaking out, and you will eventually become a competitor.

After all, resources are limited, but competition has not diminished at all.

It's just that the current situation in Wei has been undergoing great changes, and the situation is also very delicate.

With the collapse of a large force, a huge earthquake was caused.

It was in such a chaotic situation that the Lin family had a chance to gain a foothold.

In the days that followed, the world of immortality gradually returned to calm, and sooner or later the two major sects recovered.

But at that time, it is difficult to say what changes will occur.

In this case, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Knowing the importance of this point, Lin Tianming and the others were so decisive and willing to form an alliance and cooperate with Chen Maohua, who had the same goal.

At this time, Lin Shikang spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, since our two tribes have become allies and have in-depth cooperation, if there is any crisis in the future, we must advance and retreat together."

"Of course!"

Chen Maohua replied categorically, and then continued: "The in-depth cooperation I am talking about below means that if the Myriad Medicine Valley and the Zhenyang Sect attack any of our clans, the other side will do their best to support them. At the very least, they will send at least one Jin. Danqi monks, go to support the opponent."

"Do any of my fellow Taoists have any opinions on this point?"

"We, the Lin family, have no objection!"

Lin Shikang was the first to express his position, and his tone did not mean to be muddled at all.

"Okay... that's great!"

Seeing Lin Shikang being so decisive, Chen Maohua looked excited.Immediately afterwards, he took out a special animal skin, and his spiritual consciousness quickly wrote a large number of words on the animal skin.

After a while, he handed the animal skin to Lin Shikang, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please take a look!"

Lin Shikang knotted the animal skin and quickly read the content on it.

Soon, after reading it, he handed the animal skin to Lin Tianming, indicating to him to take a look at the conditions above.

Lin Tianming didn't waste any time and quickly picked up the animal skin and inspected it.

After some investigation, he found that what was written on the animal skin was the basic details of the cooperation just discussed, and there was nothing wrong with it.

So, Lin Tianming nodded towards Lin Shikang and said, "Grandpa Third, my grandson has no objection!"

After hearing this, Lin Shikang didn't waste any time, and immediately sprayed out a mouthful of blood and sprinkled it accurately and evenly on the animal skin.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Maohua on the side took the animal skin and did the same thing.

In an instant, a red light flashed on the animal skin, and the small words disappeared into the animal skin.

Within a breath, Lin Shikang felt his soul being touched, and soon returned to normal.

It is obvious that the inner demon oath has been completed, and the Lin family and Chen family have changed from a verbal alliance to a real alliance.

It is precisely because of the inner demon's oath that the two major families want to go back on their word, and the two people who signed the contract will suffer backlash.

If you are lucky, you may still be able to survive, but there is no possibility of further advancement in your cultivation.

However, there is a higher probability that he will die directly from the backlash of the inner demon's oath.

At this time, Chen Maohua was also very excited. After all, his goal was successfully achieved this time.

With the current strength of the Lin family, even the Chen family has hidden golden elixir monks who are obviously stronger than their family.

In this way, being able to form an alliance with the Lin family, which has unlimited potential, would not cause them to be too frightened when facing the pressure from the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley and the True Yang Sect.

With this excitement, Chen Maohua's face turned rosy and he couldn't help but say: "The three fellow Taoists are worthy of being good-natured people. Our Chen family will do our best to help the nobles."

"Well... then on behalf of the Lin family, I would like to thank you in advance!"

Lin Shikang replied with a smile, his tone also filled with excitement.

"Haha...it's just mutual benefit and help each other!"

Chen Maohua waved his hands and smiled. He was still in excitement and could not calm down for a long time.

Afterwards, several people sat together and chatted for a long time, during which they also exchanged a lot of cultivation experiences.

After fighting side by side before, and today's in-depth exchanges, the two sides have formed allies again, and the relationship between the two sides has quickly warmed up, like old friends.

It was not until evening that Chen Maohua said goodbye and left.

Lin Tianming and the three chatted for a while, and then they went back to practice in seclusion, waiting for the day of the Golden elixir gathering.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

As the last few days passed, some monks poured into Qingshuifang City, making Qingshuifang City extremely lively today.

Today is also the day when the top leaders of several major golden elixir forces in the Wei Kingdom gather together.

Early in the morning, the monks walked out of the cave one after another and went to the lively place to gather together.

Monk caves, streets, shops, squares in stall areas...

A large number of monks were talking about the current situation in their spare time.

This lively scene reached its peak today.

Thousands of monks gathered around the auction in the center of Fang City, including many who were in the foundation-building stage and some in the late-stage foundation building stage.

In addition to these foundation-building monks in the front row, among the crowd at the back, there was also a monk in the late stage of Qi refining.

An ordinary monk in the early stage of Qi refining would not be able to come to this crowded place.

This scene of busy traffic continued.

Until noon, a figure shot out and passed over the heads of many monks.

The appearance of this man immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In an instant, a monk with a fiery expression was seen, pointing at the black shadow and shouting quickly.

"Look, it's Senior Chen from the Yingchuan Chen family!"

After hearing this, many monks reacted. There were even some monks in the Qi Refining Stage who saw the legendary golden elixir master appear. They suddenly looked respectful and breathed a little faster.

And the dark shadow that swept away was none other than Chen Maohua, who was the first to come.

Even though these monks paid homage, Chen Maohua didn't pay much attention to them. He just waved his hand and disappeared.

Until he left, the atmosphere of the scene did not diminish at all. Some monks continued to wait and discussed in words which family the next golden elixir monk would come from.

Soon, three more figures shot out and stopped in the square in front of the auction.

Seeing the appearance of these three people once again attracted everyone's attention, and the atmosphere of the scene became even more lively.

"Look, it's the seniors of the Lin family here!"

"The Lin family unexpectedly dispatched such a huge lineup. These are three powerful people in the Golden Core stage!"

"Senior Lin Tianming is also here. He is very powerful. He has killed all the monks in the middle stage of the Golden Core. One person can defeat several Golden Core monks."

"..."

The monks below were so excited that they didn't care about anything. They were all whispering in private, and even communicated with familiar monks through sound transmission.

At this time, Lin Tianming and the other three also paused and waved their hands towards the monk below, all as a greeting.

Afterwards, the three of them walked directly towards the interior of Fangshi Auction without any further delay.

After entering the auction, Zhenyang Sect disciples immediately came to receive them, and respectfully led the three of them into a huge secret room, where they were served with fine spiritual tea.

In this secret room, Chen Maohua was the first to arrive. When he saw Lin Tianming and three people coming together, he quickly said hello.

"Three fellow Taoists, they came really early!"

"Haha...fellow Daoist Chen is one step ahead of me and others. It's early."

Lin Shikang replied with a smile, and then looked at the secret room where the meeting was held.

Looking at it, this secret room is quite large. There is a huge jade table in the middle, surrounded by more than ten chairs, which are obviously the seats of the Jindan monks.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shikang also took the two of them to choose an area to sit down in rows. Not far from him was Chen Maohua, who had arrived first.

The four of them chatted while drinking spiritual tea, while waiting for representatives from the other two sects to arrive.
