Chapter 283: Making a Fortune!

Tianlan Immortal City generally rotates every ten years, with a seventy-year cycle.

This time frame is very unreasonable.

Because cultivators have long lifespans; even Qi Refining cultivators have a lifespan of about a hundred years.

By the time they reach Foundation Establishment or Jin Dan, it is easily several hundred years.

With such a long measure of time, a mere ten years is not conducive to long-term development for large sects.

After all, those spirit-rich lands near Tianlan Immortal City mostly have decent potential.

If they were given a few more decades to manage them carefully, everyone could earn more.

But an unreasonable system, in a certain special period, must be the most reasonable!

The ten-year limit was a rule set three hundred years ago when the human race established the Yuding Domain.

At that time.

To open up the Yuding Domain, the sixteen sects paid a huge price!

The few Nascent Soul sects in the outer domains were doing a bit better.

But the many Jin Dan sects that wanted to settle in the Yuding Domain suffered heavy losses.

Among the top ten Jin Dan sects, three were wiped out during the opening war, and another one declined gradually over the subsequent three hundred years due to heavy losses, eventually becoming unable to rank among the major sects.

Thus, the current Yuding Seven Sects, dominated by the Yuding Sword Sect, were formed.

When the domain was first established, everyone suffered huge losses.

Therefore, there was an urgent need for various resources to recover and strengthen themselves.

Under these circumstances, it was naturally impossible to set a very long management period for the established immortal cities.

Otherwise, you occupy it for a hundred years, he occupies it for a hundred years.

By the time it is your sect's turn, several hundred years have passed, and perhaps by then, your sect has already declined.

After all, Jin Dan cultivators are not so easy to produce.

And without a Jin Dan True Person, one naturally cannot suppress a large immortal city.

Therefore, the initial duty time for the immortal city was set at ten years.

Ten years is just right, allowing every major sect to collect their share of the benefits as quickly as possible.

However, with this, various drawbacks were covered up by the massive benefits.

Such as cheap "rent" for spirit lands, chaotic order, subordinates scrambling to climb the social ladder, mutual infighting, and endless conflicts.

These drawbacks were not unseen.

Insightful people in the major sects naturally knew the drawbacks, which would cause them to lose more benefits during the constant rotation.

But some things are not changed immediately just because they are seen.

Every system has its own historical continuity.

Even bad systems are often tacitly followed for many years in history.

Unless the drawbacks of the system completely erupt and affect the interests of those in power.

It is very clear.

The current ten-year rotation time has not yet affected everyone's interests.

In fact, because of the war between the two Nascent Soul sects, some people wish the time would pass even faster.

Now, it is the time for the Ice Fortress and the Qingdan Valley to hand over the various powers of Tianlan Immortal City.

According to past experience, this handover process will last for a month or two.

Only after that will the Ice Fortress's Jin Dan True Persons, the law enforcement teams composed of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the various managing cultivators gradually leave Tianlan and return to their own major sects.

At most, a small portion of people will be left behind to manage the Ice Fortress's industries in the city.

And this month or two is the most chaotic time for Tianlan Immortal City.

However!

This time, the chaos is much more intense than in the past.

Among them, the movements of the Luo Tian Society, a newly promoted Foundation Establishment force, are the most eye-catching.

Their development is simply too fast!

Unknowingly, they have already attracted the covetous eyes of many people.

Many people thought they would be ruthlessly wiped out during this period.

But no one expected that the Luo Tian Society, under the leadership of that powerful society leader, would hold on!

In fact, not only did they hold on.

They even tried to take the opportunity to expand outward!

The Hu family was wiped out by the Li family, a vassal of the Luo Tian Society!

The neighboring Geng family was also slaughtered by the Luo Tian Society's chief formation master, one person and one formation!

The Danyuan Sect, Tianying Peak, and Yuzhen Temple, who provoked the Luo Tian Society, also met no good end.

In just these two or three days.

From defense to counterattack.

Now, it is time for the Luo Tian Society to reap the rewards.

Outside Danxia Peak, loose cultivators often look up at the sky.

Watching one medium-grade or high-grade flying boat after another fly in and out.

Every time they go out, except for the cultivators, the flying boats are empty.

And every time they fly back, they are almost fully loaded.

"They are emptying out the family foundations of those few forces!"

"Are those the Jade Pupa Silkworms and the Ink Mulberry from Yuzhen Temple?"

"My goodness, did they dig up all three thousand Ink Mulberry trees cultivated by Yuzhen Temple?"

"Look! Look! Is that the eagle nest from Tianying Peak?"

"One, two, three... seven! A total of seven eagle nests, all moved back!"

"They've struck it rich, the Luo Tian Society has made a fortune this time. Tianying Peak relies on selling spirit eagles, earning over a hundred thousand spirit stones every year. And that Ink Mulberry, not only can its leaves be used to feed Jade Pupa Silkworms, but its bark can be used to make talisman paper, and the Ink-Blood Mulberry fruit it bears is also an excellent first-rank spirit fruit..."

"Wait a minute!"

"Are those two Qi Refining cultivators alchemy masters from the Danyuan Sect?"

"My god, the Luo Tian Society itself is good at alchemy, and now they've subdued two more alchemy masters; aren't they going to take off immediately!"

"What about the Geng family? They are best at processing mineral materials; I heard they have several secret recipes for processing special ores. Won't they be taken by the Luo Tian Society too?"

"The Geng family side was already a ruin yesterday; the Geng family's inheritance was probably transported back long ago."

Outside Danxia Peak.

The busybodies by the roadside stare at the Luo Tian Society's flying boats coming and going every day.

When they encounter familiar things, they discuss them endlessly.

As one good thing after another is moved back, countless people are jealous.

But in front of the murderous cultivators of the Luo Tian Society, no one dares to act rashly.

Gradually, some people began to realize something.

"Why am I staring at this every day?"

"If the Luo Tian Society eats meat, maybe I can drink some soup!"

Quietly, some loose cultivators stopped gossiping and instead rushed to the ruins of the forces wiped out by the Luo Tian Society, trying to pick up scraps.

The Luo Tian Society's actions this time were clearly to destroy their orthodoxy and take their wealth.

But the mountain gate residences were left untouched.

After all, in name, these all belong to Tianlan Immortal City.

And amidst these many major actions.

Two forces fell into a strange silence.

Xuchen Mountain, Wei Family Manor.

In the prosperous manor, the family head, Wei Bufan, had a face as gloomy as water.

The two Foundation Establishment friends he invited were also somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

"Brother Wei, it's really not that we don't want to help; look, we've been here for two days. But the Luo Tian Society hasn't come to the door yet; maybe they have already stopped and don't want to deal with your Wei family anymore."

One Foundation Establishment cultivator said, his intention to leave obvious.

The other echoed: "The fault lies only with your cousin alone; that Fire Spirit Lord is also a reasonable person and will definitely not vent his anger on the Xuchen Mountain Wei Family Manor. Since there is nothing to do now, we two also need to cultivate; why not leave first? If there is an emergency, you can notify us with a sound-transmission jade."

Looking at the two who wanted to leave.

Wei Bufan suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "The Luo Tian Society didn't come before because they didn't have enough manpower and couldn't be distracted."

"Once they have enough manpower, they will definitely come to the door!"

"Two fellow Daoists, please stay a few more days. As for spirit stones, I will definitely not give less!"

When he said this, the two wanted to run away even more!

That Fire Spirit Lord Luo Chen is not an easy person to deal with.

The details of the Qinhua River battle had long been spread far and wide.

Without using magic tools, the other party easily solved the three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Hu family with exquisite spells.

Now that the three of them are together, are they really Luo Chen's match?

Next, the two said a bunch of excuses.

The spirit beast in the cave needs to hatch, so they have to go back to take care of it.

There are things in the family, it's too chaotic recently, and they must go back to sit in town, and so on.

Finally, Wei Bufan was helpless.

He could only send the two away.

After they left, the Wei family elder said worriedly: "What should we do next?"

Wei Bufan rubbed his eyebrows.

It's all the fault of that cousin; why did he have to covet the Li family's resources!

Their Xuchen Mountain has its own business progress, and they wouldn't be short of that share of resources for a while.

In the end, he even provoked Luo Chen.

If the Luo Tian Society comes to attack in force...

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Wei Bufan realized something.

Wei Tuo coveted the Li family's resources, not the Luo Tian Society.

In other words, their Wei family and the Luo Tian Society did not have a direct conflict on the surface.

And in that battle, Luo Chen didn't suffer any major losses.

That is to say, there is room for accommodation here.

This can be seen from the fact that the Luo Tian Society did not attack Xuchen Mountain at the beginning, but instead went to Tianying Peak, which was relatively far away.

After figuring this out, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Wei Bufan's heart.

He immediately called the family elder to stop.

"Ping'an, you wait here for me; I will write a letter, and you will send it to Danxia Peak later."

"Ah!" The second elder, Wei Ping'an, was stunned.

"Remember, it must be delivered to the hands of the Luo Tian Society leader!"

After speaking, Wei Bufan hurried into the study.

Leaving only the second elder standing outside with a face like ash.

"Why am I so cheap, having to come up here? That Danxia Peak is now a dragon's pool and tiger's den; letting me go to deliver a letter is this not wanting my old life?"

Compared to the hope seen in the desperate situation on Xuchen Mountain, the atmosphere within the Shen Gong Sect was much more oppressive.

The sect leader, Fei Changqiu, at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, and the great elder, at the second level, looked at each other.

No one expected that things would develop to such a point.

They had previously planned to shift their business focus from Tianlan Immortal City to another place.

As a result, before the action, Lu Rong had to go and pull off a heist.

This is indeed something his personality would do.

But you have to succeed!

Now you are dead and gone to the Western Heaven of Ultimate Bliss, so what about us?

"Sect Leader, are we running away now? Or are we running away now?"

Fei Changqiu looked at him unhappily, "Running away? He, Luo Chen, is in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, am I not?"

The great elder opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopping.

When others reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, they earned the title "Fire Spirit Lord."

You have been here for so many years, and I haven't seen you get any honorable titles!

The methods of the two in fighting must have an obvious gap.

Fei Changqiu was reluctant to give up this foundation, especially since Lu Rong was dead, so he could share more resources.

After thinking for a while, he hesitated: "As far as I know, the Luo Tian Society has been attacking everywhere this time, and their methods seem quite ruthless?"

The great elder was stunned, then realized something, his eyes shining.

"You mean..."

"Stay still like a mountain first; I have connections at the Iron Sword Hall, and I will report this matter. The Luo Tian Society will have to suffer the consequences!"

Speaking of this, Fei Changqiu felt much more settled in his heart.

Not only that, he waved his hand.

"Maybe we can take this opportunity to get the Luo Tian Society removed from the list."

"By then, we can be the first to occupy the foundation that the Luo Tian Society has beaten down!"

"I heard there are many good things; if we get them, I'm afraid you and I won't be short of resources to cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment! Reaching Jin Dan is not without hope!"

The great elder was extremely excited.

"Sect Leader's plan is wonderful!"
