Chapter 35: Alliance

Central plaza of the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, the crowd at the banquet discussed among themselves!

And Ye Qingxuan was a bit dazed, looking at the figures of Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu, matching them one by one with those two childish figures in his memory, thinking to himself:

"So it was those two."

When Ye Qingxuan first entered the Profound Yi Tianzong, he had had interactions with Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu.

At that time, they were all twelve-year-old boys.

At that time, he had also had a conflict with a friend of Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu, a guy named something like Long Tian.

Unfortunately, later on, that guy named Long Tian didn't seem to have passed the Profound Yi Tianzong's assessment.

Ye Qingxuan recalled the information revealed by Long Tian at that time; it seemed that these two, Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu, had already recruited quite a few blessed land cultivators while at the Profound Yi Tianzong's reception courtyard, before they had officially entered the Profound Yi Tianzong?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan scanned the crowd in the venue and looked meaningfully at the three people in the center of the plaza: Lin Fan, Li Xuan, and Zhu Dafu.

It seems they came prepared!

Sure enough, the banquet was only cold for a moment before quite a few people stood up and smiled:

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Lin, isn't this clearly you helping us? With the existence of the alliance, we won't have to worry about handling these trivial matters in the future."

"That's right! Anyway, we won't be able to leave the blessed land when the time comes, so it's better to hand over the resources produced by the blessed land to the alliance to help us exchange them for spirit stones."

"Hehehe, this makes sense, Senior Brother Lin is truly kind!"

Hearing everyone's words, quite a few Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard disciples on the periphery of the banquet also showed signs of being moved.

Li Xuan, who had not spoken and had been observing the whole scene, saw this and knew the timing was ripe, signaling Lin Fan with his eyes.

Lin Fan sensed Li Xuan's gaze, immediately understood, and with the help of the voices of many friends in the venue, took the opportunity to take out a scroll of contract and shouted:

"Since everyone has no objections, then we..."

"Wait a moment!"

At this time, a young man with a square face on the periphery of the banquet interrupted Lin Fan's words, stood up, and sneered:

"Then may I ask Senior Brother Lin, after we join the alliance, what rules do we need to follow?"

Hearing this, those who had been moved in the venue showed hesitation one after another!

Seeing that things had changed, Lin Fan hurriedly explained:

"Junior Brother Xiao Feng, rest assured! Everyone doesn't need to follow too many rules, just follow the market statistics of the alliance regarding the choice of spiritual plants to be planted in the blessed land in the future."

"Meaning that in the future, what spiritual plants we cultivate in the blessed land all need to be decided by the alliance? Heh, farewell!"

The square-faced young man named Xiao Feng, after hearing what Lin Fan said, directly pointed out the key point of the problem, and then turned and left the banquet plaza without hesitation.

And others in the outer circle, seeing Xiao Feng leave, also said goodbye one after another, starting to find excuses to leave the banquet plaza:

"Senior Brother Lin! I have something to do, I'll take my leave first."

"That's right, Senior Brother Lin, I also have urgent matters, so I'll take my leave first, please forgive me!"

Lin Fan's face changed, and he guaranteed again:

"Everyone rest assured, the spiritual plant varieties counted by the alliance are absolutely the most valuable, and will not cause everyone any loss! All Junior Brothers, please trust Lin Fan!"

But these words of Lin Fan did not have much effect.

However, because of the secret layout and recruitment that Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu had already started, in the end, more than thirty people chose to stay, sign the contract, and join the alliance, occupying half of the share of this batch of Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard disciples.

Seeing that things had reached this point, Li Xuan finally spoke:

"Junior Brother Lin, having more than thirty people join the alliance in the early stage is enough. Since others are unwilling, there is no need to force it!"

If they were unwilling to follow their arrangements to cultivate spiritual plants, then for them, there was no need for this Dongxuan Fudi Cultivator Alliance to exist at all.

Purchasing spiritual plants at market prices was not difficult to do within the Profound Yi Tianzong.

What they wanted was just to gather the strength of many blessed land cultivators to occupy the market of a certain low-order spiritual plant.

In the early stage, more than thirty blessed land cultivators were enough.

Hearing Li Xuan speak, Lin Fan also stopped his intention to continue recruiting.

Looking at the Dongxuan Fudi Cultivation Courtyard disciples leaving one by one, a hint of regret appeared in Lin Fan's eyes.

The reason he agreed to Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu's lead in forming this alliance was because the two promised him 40% of the alliance's profits.

His blessed land inheritance quota was for a second-order blessed land.

Although the order was not high, the path ahead was much broader than those blessed land cultivators who directly contracted first-order spiritual land.

After all, a second-order blessed land, whether it was the speed of increasing a blessed land cultivator's spiritual roots or the benefits it brought, far exceeded a first-order blessed land.

If he could also use the massive resources obtained from the alliance to cultivate the blessed land to the third order, then he could still have a glimmer of hope for his future.

Therefore, Lin Fan was very attentive to the establishment of this Dongxuan Fudi Cultivator Alliance.

Ye Qingxuan was sitting in the corner on the periphery of the banquet.

Seeing that this show had come to an end, he stood up on his own, burped, and prepared to leave the banquet plaza.

After Ye Qingxuan left the plaza, he hadn't walked far and was preparing to fly his sword back to his small courtyard.

Unexpectedly, the little fatty who had been sitting beside him chased after him again, asking curiously:

"Why is everyone unwilling to join the alliance? I feel it's okay?"

Ye Qingxuan glanced at the little fatty and asked back:

"You think it's okay, then why did you leave?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, the little fatty chuckled:

"Hehehe, I saw that everyone left, so I left! My mother told me that if I don't know the road to take, just follow everyone else. Although there won't be a big harvest, at least it will be much safer!"

Ye Qingxuan looked at the smiling little fatty, his heart moved, and he asked curiously:

"Then why must you exchange everyone's contact marks?"

"My mother said, let me make more friends in the future; more friends mean more paths."

"Then what about your mother?"

The little fatty's smiling face suddenly paused, and he stopped, his expression turning gloomy:

"My mother passed away!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan also stopped, looked at the little fatty, and apologized:

"I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, my mother told me to be happier in the future, I'm not sad anymore, hehehe!"

The little fatty shook his head, his face still wearing a smiling expression.

"By the way, you still haven't told me why everyone is unwilling to join the alliance?"

Seeing the little fatty ask again, Ye Qingxuan said:

"What do you think everyone desires most after becoming a blessed land cultivator?"

Hearing this, the little fatty shook his head in confusion:

"I don't know!"

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan looked toward the high sky and said:

"It's freedom!"

"Freedom?"

"Yes, that's right, it's freedom!"

After speaking, Ye Qingxuan flew his sword alone and left this place.

Most ordinary people, after becoming blessed land cultivators, could no longer see hope for the future; these blessed land cultivators might not value benefits and such.

The reason everyone was unwilling to join the alliance was just that they didn't want to put on another layer of shackles after bearing the shackles brought by the blessed land.

The reason why quite a few people were still willing to stay and choose to join the so-called alliance was just that these people had not yet officially become blessed land cultivators and had not realized this point. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====

The reason why quite a few people are still willing to stay and choose to join the so-called alliance is simply that these people have not yet officially become Dongxuan Fudi cultivators and have not realized this point.
