Chapter 795 Yang Shoudao

Although 20 million spirit stones is a large number, if you want to build the industry scale of Wuwei Sect from scratch, the spirit stones you need to invest are probably around 70 million spirit stones.

Zhang Zhixuan's offer is almost only 30% of Wuwei Sect's assets. Seeing that he did not ask for too much, the three casual cultivators nodded secretly.

However, as casual cultivators, they only have about a dozen people including their disciples, and they are unable to come up with such a huge fortune in a short time.

Seeing the three of them frowning, Zhang Zhixuan continued to persuade them: "If the three of you don't have enough spiritual stones, you might as well bid together. The three of you have obtained the Wuwei Sect's industry, and you also need enough strength to deter others. There are still many cultivators guarding the mines and markets below. The three of you have each bid for a part of the Lingshan mines, and it is easy to gain a foothold here if you join forces. Even if the three families cannot go together, they can form a loose alliance to take care of each other and keep their own industries."

Yang Shoudao glanced at the other two Yuanyings and whispered: "We will consider the opinions of Daoist Zhang. We will have to give us some time. The three of us will discuss a detailed proposal and then trouble Daoist Zhang."

This person has the third level of Yuanying and has cultivated a fifth-level spiritual vein near Yushan City and built a cave.

However, it is extremely difficult for a casual cultivator to develop from scratch, and he may not make any progress for many years.

The only way to grow rapidly is through war and annexation of the territories of nearby forces.

Unfortunately, most of the small sects and Jindan families have Yuanying backers to take care of them. If they want to expand, they must at least seize the opportunity. Such opportunities for expansion are not common.

Wuwei Sect has ready-made territories, sacred mountains, mineral veins, and population, and there are no powerful sects nearby to intervene, which can be said to be quite in line with his appetite.

However, he has practiced Taoism for many years, and the accumulated spirit stones are only about 700,000 or 800,000. Compared with the asking price of 20 million spirit stones, there is still a big gap.

After leaving Wuwei Mountain, Yang Shoudao, who has the highest cultivation among the three, sighed and said, "I have been wandering for more than 1,200 years, and my life span is only about 400 years left. Seeing that the calamity is not far away, it is time to prepare for a rainy day. This time I will sell my Lingshan Cave Residence at a low price. Even if I can't bid for the sixth-level spiritual vein of Wuwei Mountain, I will take this opportunity to acquire a part of the mineral veins and spiritual mountains and establish my foundation here.

I hope that the two Taoists will work together to make a great event. I think that Taoist Zhang of Ziyang Sect is easy to talk to. Even if we can't come up with 20 million spiritual stones, as long as we sign a contract and are willing to admit it, there is a great chance that the foundation of Wuwei Sect will fall into our hands. It is estimated that the more than 10,000 low-level cultivators on the mountain can also be used by us to supplement our insufficient foundation."

Ji Yuncheng has been in the infant stage for less than a hundred years. This person was originally from the Guiyi Building of Qinglihai Sect. Four hundred years ago, Guiyi Building was wiped out. Ji Yuncheng escaped the disaster because he traveled in Dazhou, and from then on he had to settle in Dazhou. By chance, this person cultivated into a Nascent Soul, and he always wanted to re-establish the Daoist tradition of Guiyilou and avenge his former sect.

After hearing what Yang Shoudao said, he immediately said: "I am a cultivator of the sect, and by chance, I became a casual cultivator. I have suffered enough of being a casual cultivator. I once vowed to re-establish the Daoist tradition of Guiyilou. I wonder if Brother Yang is willing to join forces with me."

Although Ji Yuncheng's cultivation is not high, he does have a lot of people under him.

At that time, there were about five or six cultivators from Guiyilou who traveled in the Great Zhou. After the destruction of Guiyilou, there were also four or five fish that escaped and fled to the Great Zhou.

These people are all cultivators above the Purple Mansion. After four hundred years of development, there are already three Jindan and eleven Purple Mansion.

Originally, Ji Yuncheng was ready to rebuild Guiyilou in a while. According to Yang Shoudao's words, the inheritance of the Daoist tradition is likely to come from ancient cultivators, so he immediately invited Yang Shoudao to join Guiyilou regardless of his presumptuousness.

"I have also heard about the extermination of the Guiyi Building. It is rumored that it was the Taiyi Sect that did it." Yang Shoudao suddenly hesitated and spoke in an evasive tone.

Taiyi Sect is a relatively powerful sect in Qinglihai, with seven Yuanying cultivators inside. Yang Shoudao founded the sect to ensure a smooth transition to the calamity, and did not want to make this great enemy.

Ji Yuncheng continued to persuade: "As long as my brother agrees, I am willing to give up the position of the great elder. I can let my brother decide on all matters, and I can also sign a blood oath and help my brother with the transition to the calamity."

"If you are willing to make a blood oath and not seek revenge easily if you are not strong enough, I agree to your terms and join the Guiyi Building."

The two quickly reached a verbal agreement. Wen Yuxiang, another Yuanying cultivator, frowned. Some time ago, Tianluo Sect invited him to serve as a guest elder.

Tianluo Sect is also one of the top ten sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty, with eight Yuanying masters inside.

Although the Tianluo Sect ranked last among the ten major sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the conditions it offered were quite good. Not only was there an annual salary of 60,000 spirit stones, but some precious spirit objects could also be exchanged from the Sutra Library and the Treasury.

Becoming a guest elder of the Tianluo Sect would also have someone to take care of his calamity, but it was difficult for an outsider like him to get involved in the core affairs of the Tianluo Sect.

Wen Yuxiang also wanted to establish herself and create her own sect, rather than being a thug for others. However, she might not be strong enough to rely on herself alone.

Ji Yuncheng said: "In fact, there are Yuanying in the Wuwei Sect within three generations, and the industry is already very rich. The annual income from pure spirit fields and minerals is about 1.4 million spirit stones, and the annual profit after deducting costs is also very good. As long as we can run the Wuwei Sect's industry, there will be a lot of profit every year. Even if we owe Ziyang Sect foreign debts, we can repay a considerable amount every year."

"Since the two Taoist friends are willing to cooperate, why not count me in."

Ji Yuncheng nodded happily and said, "Brother Wen is willing to join, so the position of the head will be given to Senior Brother Wen. Whether Senior Brother Wen takes on the position himself or leaves the position to his disciples, I will strictly require my disciples to obey the requirements of the head."

"In this case, let's deal with the beginning and the end first, and then meet here again in three months to see how many spiritual objects we can take out?"

Things passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Yang Shoudao, Ji Yuncheng, and Wen Yuxiang scraped together six million spiritual stones and found Zhang Zhixuan and his wife.

Hearing the conditions of the three people, Zhang Zhixuan smiled bitterly and said, "Six million spirit stones are indeed too little."

Yang Shoudao nodded and said, "The three of us brothers have enough to gain a foothold here after taking over the Wuwei Sect's industry.

The Wuwei Sect's industry is quite large. We are willing to sign a blood oath contract. As long as the Wuwei Sect's industry can continue to operate, we will repay the debt of 300,000 spirit stones every year, and the repayment period is one decade. In this way, Fellow Daoist Zhang's sect can earn an additional 4 million spirit stones.

Besides, I have some friendship with True Man Qingling, and I am willing to go to Mingxin Sect to find the two Taoists and give Ziyang Sect a reasonable compensation to end the feud."
