Chapter 674: Harmony

The Su Family needed external cultivators to fill the four commanderies, to develop this prefecture and four commanderies, and to make the wilderness prosperous.

It was difficult for the Su Family to develop these four commanderies alone because the Su Family had too few cultivators, and even if there were more mortals in the future, Liuyun Mountain could not support them.

They could slowly migrate to the four commanderies.

But mortals building towns required cultivators, and Su Family cultivators were still relatively scarce; the newly captured Huoyun Mountain Range required a large amount of manpower.

Although the Huoyun Mountain Range did not have as high a level of spirit veins as the current Liuyun Mountain Range, it was still a Tier 3 high-grade spirit vein, and there were even three Tier 3 high-grade spirit lands.

It was even better than the initial Liuyun Mountain Range.

The Liuyun Mountain Range was able to become a Tier 4 low-grade spirit vein only because of the Su Family's development over the past nearly one hundred years.

In terms of potential, the Huoyun Mountain Range might be even greater; once developed in the future, it might reach Tier 4 high-grade, just like the mountain gate of the Yunyang Sect.

Currently, Liuyun Mountain was actually somewhat unable to afford three Golden Core cultivators.

After all, it was only Tier 4 low-grade, and it was catalyzed post-natally, although the Su Family had the Starlight Essence Extraction Array and techniques to improve spirit veins, which could optimize the spirit veins to the maximum.

But after all, the time was still short; which of these changes to the power of mountains and rivers did not require a thousand years?

Improving from Tier 3 to Tier 4 in just a few decades also consumed the spirit veins, greatly reducing their potential; if it were not for the Su Family's secret technique to improve spirit veins,

I am afraid that this Liuyun Mountain Range being improved to Tier 4 low-grade would only be able to accommodate one Golden Core cultivator.

Being able to accommodate two Golden Core cultivators now had already reached the limit, and added to the fact that there were more and more Su Family cultivators over these years, the burden was even heavier.

Thanks to Su Fan never having swallowed the spirit energy of the Liuyun Mountain Range to cultivate, otherwise, this Liuyun Mountain Range would have long since degenerated.

This was also one of the reasons why the Su Family was in such a hurry to capture the Huoyun Mountain Range.

After capturing the Huoyun Mountain Range, the Su Family needed to divide some manpower to go to the Huoyun Mountain Range to sit in command; now that the Huoyun Mountain Range served as the southern pass of the Zheng State, its geographical location was even superior to the Liuyun Mountain Range.

And as long as the Huoyun Mountain Range was guarded well, it would be even more difficult for the demon race to move south.

The Huoyun Mountain Range lay on the edge of the Zheng State, stretching for six thousand li; when the next beast tide came, if the demon army wanted to divide its forces, it would need to bypass a much longer distance.

Once that route had no spirit land, it was not a good thing for the demon army, and dividing the forces would be even more difficult.

As long as this Huoyun Mountain Range was held, the prefecture and four commanderies would be even safer, and the Liuyun Mountain Range went without saying.

Therefore, the defense of the Huoyun Mountain Range was the top priority, even more important than Liuyun Mountain; once this Huoyun Mountain Range was promoted to Tier 4, at that time, both of the Su Family's Golden Cores would need to go there to sit in command.

In the future, the Su Family's focus would also be placed on this Huoyun Mountain Range; precisely because of this, the Su Family had no strength to place in those four commanderies.

Today, Su Wanjun summoned a group of external members, allies, and affiliated immortal cultivation families, also hoping that they could divide their strength.

This was originally a good thing.

After all, they had already cleared the four commanderies, and the four commanderies of wilderness could be considered well-rounded.

However, at this moment in the main hall, the representatives of each clan were silent.

"Clan Leader Su, those four commanderies have many spirit veins; I wonder if the Su Family has any say in this?"

After a long time, the person from the Liu Family, after looking around, gritted his teeth and stood out to say.

"There is nothing much; although there are no Tier 3 spirit lands in the four commanderies, there are quite a few Tier 2 spirit veins. Our Su Family does not have many requirements; no matter which family occupies them, in the future, when developing spirit fields, you only need to hand over thirty percent."

Su Wanjun glanced at the other party and said calmly.

These four commanderies were captured by their Su Family; originally, the wilderness belonged to the demon race's territory, which was cleared and captured by them.

Now letting other families occupy them, naturally, it was impossible to give them away for nothing.

And only asking for thirty percent of the income was already very low.

If it were the Yunyang Sect, they would not be able to do it.

Hearing Su Wanjun's words, the people present were all somewhat moved.

If it was only thirty percent, if they could occupy a portion of the Tier 2 spirit land, if they developed it for a few decades, at that time, they could increase the family's income by hundreds or thousands of spirit stones every year.

Even if they paid thirty percent, it was nothing.

It was just that at the beginning of development, it required a large amount of manpower and some spirit stones.

Before, they could not figure out the Su Family's thoughts, but now that this Clan Leader Su Wanjun had finished speaking, they did not worry anymore.

The Su Family's reputation was still excellent; over these years, in the Liuyun Mountain Range, every family could see it.

Many families and rogue cultivators were also willing to be vassals of the Su Family.

So one by one, they began to compete; after all, there were only so many Tier 2 spirit veins, some good and some bad.

"Alright!"

"Everyone, stop for a moment. If you keep arguing like this, you won't come to a conclusion, and instead, you will hurt the harmony."

Seeing that now every family was arguing until their faces were red and their necks were thick for a spirit vein, Su Wanjun had to interrupt everyone again.

"I will propose a plan: if two families take a fancy to the same spirit land, then the families will send out cultivators to compete in an arena, and the winner will get that spirit vein."

"I wonder what everyone thinks?"

Su Wanjun's proposal was felt by everyone to have nothing wrong with it; after all, the arena was not a life-and-death struggle.

These vassals of the Su Family had internal competition with each other over these years, but it had not reached the point of being life-and-death enemies.

Now after becoming vassals of the Su Family, every family's strength was improving rapidly, so naturally, they did not want to become enemies with other families because of a spirit vein.

This was not worth it.

At the moment, the Su Family's strength was flourishing, and they had captured another mountain range, and the two areas were combined, clearing the wilderness of a prefecture and four commanderies.

In the future, their strength would be even more powerful; at this time, following behind the Su Family, even if they could not eat meat, they would definitely be able to drink plenty of soup.

And this mouthful of soup for these Foundation Establishment families was like immortal energy.

Over these years, their family's Foundation Establishment cultivators had increased quite a bit; the most had increased by two or three, and the least had one.

Especially that Bai Family, who was the first to hug the Su Family's thigh back then.

That old Clan Leader even opened up the Purple Mansion under the support of the Su Family.

So following the Su Family meant having meat to eat; this point was very clear to many vassal families.

The Su Family did things with great style; as long as you sincerely supported the Su Family, the rewards you received would definitely not be small.

This time developing the four commanderies, since the Su Family had said so, they did not worry anymore.

As for the competition, everyone was not afraid, especially now that the Su Family proposed the arena, which was also because they were worried that they would hurt the harmony; from this, one could see the Su Family's attitude in doing things.

Some superior sects wished that the vassal families below would fight to the death, so that they could not threaten the superior sect.

But the Su Family was different; they had never worried, so they did not do such dirty things. ===== CHAPTER 675 =====
