Chapter 1969 Real Estate Startup
Cursing the elders of Baiyao Valley was the first time that Qu Jianlei's team acted so high-profile in public since arriving in Cangwu Realm.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. If we keep a low profile any longer, people will think that Hongyeling is easy to bully.
On the third day after Sanwei Zhenxian left, Wu Laoliu went to Sujia Village to purchase the secret book.
In the past, when the Lord of the Ridge was not around, he would always go there on time, so he would certainly not be negligent this time.
This time, he didn't stay in Sujia Village for too long and rushed back.
"Master Hua, please report to the Ridge Master that someone has presented a ten-thousand-year-old nine-leaf mysterious soul grass."
"It's fake," Flower Scorpion answered without hesitation, "It's just seven leaves from three thousand years ago. I'm just trying to fool you."
"I can imagine that," Wu Laoliu nodded with a smile. He was not surprised at all that Master Hua already knew about it.
In fact, he didn't think that this was necessarily true. The ten thousand year old Nine-Leaf Mysterious Soul Grass... was wasted when used to refine the Nengying Pill!
This is a legendary treasure that can help true immortals to achieve liberation!
If anyone has this precious herb and gives it to any of the five upper sects, the whole clan will have secured a ship ticket to Zhongzhou.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the credit cannot be claimed by others.
"I haven't seen the real thing, but the three thousand year old Seven Leaves can be compared to a Condensing Infant Pill."
Flower Scorpion nodded noncommittally, "What does he want to exchange? It can't be a spirit stone, right?"
"We need to exchange for the protection of Hongyeling," Wu Laoliu said with a strange look on his face, "not limited to the local area."
The latter request is quite interesting. It means that even if Hongyeling has to give up its foundation, it must take its people away.
The flower scorpion uttered two words lightly, "You are sick!"
"That's right," Wu Laoliu nodded in agreement, "If we give this herb to Baiyao Valley, our whole family can go to Zhongzhou."
The three thousand year old seven leaves were definitely much worse than the ten thousand year old nine leaves, but if it was handed over to Baiyao Valley, it could still be used to make the Ningying Pill.
So, how big of a deal is it to take a dozen family members to Zhongzhou?
"What good news is that?" Flower Scorpion rolled his eyes at him. "Find something serious to do when you have time. Don't waste your time."
"But Shi Yongsheng said that he has... a treasure aura!" Wu Laoliu said with a smile, "His treasure-hunting rat has advanced!"
"Shi Yongsheng...the one who was almost beaten to death by Claire?" Flower Scorpion had an impression of this foundation-building cultivator. He actually dared to peep at the little gangster girl.
"Yeah," Wu Laoliu nodded, "He can't wait to let the treasure-hunting rat go to the void to search for treasures."
"Precious..." Flower Scorpion hesitated, obviously communicating with someone.
After a few breaths, she calmed down and said, "The boss said that the treasure is the blessing of others, so let's not think about it."
"Well... okay," Wu Laoliu hesitated and nodded, "We in Hongye Ridge are really particular."
He has seen many people who are particular about what they do, but to be honest, most of them do not have the ability to do so.
It is extremely rare to find a force that is strong enough and yet can be so restrained.
However, he thought that he still had to fight for the Seven-Leaf Mysterious Soul Grass. "What about this precious grass?"
"In principle, let him change the conditions," Flower Scorpion said straightforwardly, "It is impossible to allow him to enter the core area."
After a pause, she added, "I highly suspect that the other party has some other intentions."
So Wu Laoliu went to verify the situation and specifically told Shi Yongsheng that the team was not interested in Baoqi.
Shi Yongsheng was quite disappointed about this, because according to the reaction of the treasure-hunting rat, the other party's treasure was definitely not bad.
But since the decision has been made, he can only obey. After all, he is just a slave, not even a member.
After two days of investigation, he confirmed that the other party was from an ordinary small family, and there was not even a foundation-building person in the family.
So he said that you can enter the future shelter, but don't expect more requests.
In the entire Hongye Ridge, you can’t find many people in the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone one in the Qi Refining stage.
In this situation, if you expect others to take your family members and relocate, forget it.
As for the Seven-Leaf Mysterious Soul Grass, if you are willing to sell it, Hongye Ridge can buy it. If you don’t want to sell it, forget it.
The other party had not given an answer yet, and the next day, Yuan Yi Zhenxian from Liangyi Sect came to pay a visit.
This person is the most respected cultivator in Dongsheng at present. He is not only the elder of Liangyi Sect, but also the rotating deacon of the alliance.
However, Yuan Yi was quite polite to Hongyeling. This time he came to determine the expansion range of Hongyeling.
The Cultivator Alliance meant that they welcome Red Leaf Ridge to expand a little more, but they also hope that some commitments can be made.
Qu Jianlei had met Yuan Yi more than once before, so he naturally would not deliberately neglect him this time.
However, he would not make any promises about the size of the sheltered population, as Hongye Ridge only planned to expand twenty kilometers.
After the expansion, Hongyeling will cover an area of more than one thousand square kilometers.
For a force with several True Immortals, this area is still too small, but they think it is enough.
As for whether a formal residential area will be established within his own area, he said that it is under consideration but did not give a definite answer.
Yuan Yi couldn't force him, because the deacon on duty could feel that the other party not only had many secrets, but also had a general sense of identity with Dongsheng.
But he didn't have much suspicion.
The strength of Hongyeling has already surpassed the Twelve. It is difficult for such a big force to limit its vision to a small place like Dongsheng.
After Yuan Yi Zhenxian confirmed the other party’s attitude, he left. The next step was to confirm the scope of the newly expanded area.
The Yan family would like to allocate more land to Hongyeling. This situation is very rare in the history of Dongsheng.
However, it is really not surprising at all. If we don’t mark it out now, will we wait for the demons to occupy it?
The truth is that the more space you mark out, the more difficult it will be for the demons to invade.
In the end, nearly two thousand square kilometers of land were confirmed, but one hundred square kilometers were reserved by the Yan family.
If things become impossible to do, the entire Yan family may retreat to this area. Although it is a burden, it also strengthens the defense of Hongye Ridge.
Qu Jianlei really looked down upon their fighting ability, but since the other party agreed to build their own living facilities, then... he would just fulfill his friendship.
After defining the scope, Hua Xiezi began his plan to make money.
She first spread the word that Hongyeling would build several small towns within its own area to accommodate refugees in the future.
This time, the boundary demarcation was strictly based on the direction of mountains, rivers and fully considered the overall defense of Hongyeling in the future.
The planned towns are located on several salients. Obviously, they will also be the core outposts for resisting invasion in the future.
But the difference is that this is Hongyeling’s own territory, and the safety of these refugees is truly protected.
From another perspective, as a refugee, does that mean you don't have to participate in the battle? This is obviously impossible no matter where you are!
The Dongsheng cultivators who have experienced the invasion of tiger people should understand this point very well.
However, Flower Scorpion did not say what qualifications were needed to enter the town. She just announced that she was recruiting people to build infrastructure.
A town must not only have living and defense facilities, but also venues for training and martial arts performances.
If the True Immortals of Hongye Ridge were to take charge of these tasks, they would be completed in no time.
But it is obvious that a true immortal would not do such a job - it is already good enough to let them take refuge, right?
Hongyeling will pay for the construction. You can consult Wu Laoliu and others for details - they are all veterans in the business.
However, what more people want to know is what conditions need to be met in order to take refuge inside Hongye Ridge.
Flower Scorpion did not make any statement, but only said that outside the Red Leaf Ridge area, you can also build your own settlements, just don't get too close.
But so many forces have been waiting around Hongye Ridge for so long, waiting for this news.
They also discovered that the expansion of Hongye Ridge had almost surrounded Sujia Village, with only one side of the village facing the outside world.
Some smart people bought properties in Sujia Village first, which is quite close to the core area of Hongyeling.
But some people are still tirelessly asking what the conditions are.
After all, Sujia Village is located outside the Hongyeling area and will not be well protected. At most, it will be less vulnerable to attacks.
Even if the village is surrounded on three sides, isn't there still one side exposed?
At this time, it was Wu Laoliu's turn to appear. He first set the tone - if you want to be protected, there is a price to pay!
This condition... is really not excessive. Not long after the tiger people invaded, many settlements at that time also had such requirements.
There is no malicious intent in the request itself. The settlements certainly need to be effectively managed, provided with a large amount of daily necessities, and riots must be suppressed.
But at the same time, Wu Laoliu secretly said: Anyway, building a town now is also an opportunity to strive for, right?
Apart from the fact that he is a man who has experienced hard times, it is obvious that he wants people to work for nothing.
However, the flower scorpion disagreed, saying that work is work and seeking refuge is seeking refuge, and the two cannot be confused.
So many people got involved, and the salary they asked for was not high, and there was even more than one Jindan among them.
The purpose of these people is to get close to Hongyeling first and make the other party remember that they are the best.
But there are also people who want to take this opportunity to explore the situation in Hongyeling more deeply.
Fortunately, there are too many high-level cultivators in Hongye Ridge, and there are also many wandering spiritual consciousnesses, so they are often stopped by them at the slightest sign.
However, if something similar happened in the empire, they would definitely not stop it in the first place.
Their usual choice is to wait for the other party to make a big mistake, and then deal with them cruelly after catching them in the act, in order to serve as a warning to others.
Comparing the two, we can see that the team has restrained itself too much in its actions in the Cangwu Realm.
The paranoids even said that the boss's behavior was suspected of being double-standard. How could he have been so timid before?
But there was no need for Qu Jianlei to refute, Duo Gan and Jia Shuiqing said that this was the rhythm of integrating into normal society.
These two had previously maintained normal contact with society in the empire and were accustomed to doing things this way.
It was only after encountering the boss and joining the team that I was forced to change my style of doing things.
