Chapter 341
Just when these disciples of the royal court were plotting to make enemies of Li Yushu, monks discovered Shan Sihai a hundred thousand miles away from Qingyun City. The ancestor of Silver Star from a local medium-sized sect and four Zixiu cultivators
In order to make a fortune, he sent people to Huoyun Sect to deliver the news, and at the same time he sent people to monitor Shan Sihai.
As a result, Shan Sihai realized that the situation was not good, escaped in advance, and killed many pursuers.
One day later, other sect monks discovered Shan Sihai's trace, and another fierce battle broke out. Many Purple Star monks were killed or seriously injured by Shan Sihai.
Next, Shan Sihai's traces were frequently discovered, and more and more monks were chasing Shan Sihai. In just ten days, tens of thousands of people participated in the hunt and delivered the news. The Fire Cloud Sect even sent out many silver monks.
Elder Xing arrested Shan Sihai.
Shan Sihai fled westward, escaped from Zhongzhou, and disappeared again.
At this moment, Li Yu and his party had returned to Qingzhou and parted ways. Yang Huan and Yun Jingkong returned to the mountain gate. Li Yu and Tie Hou led a group of casual cultivators to Crimson Blood City. As for Qing Lin, as early as Li
When Yu was replacing Zhao Ju and Mei Qingying was getting rid of the evil spirit, Li Yu had already sent him out, and the "Shan Sihai" running around was Qing Lin.
The seventeen casual cultivators had already known Li Yu's identity, and now they also knew their next destination. For the unknown future, everyone did not have much panic, but was full of expectations.
Even in Zhongzhou, in Qingyun City, a prosperous city of monks, they could not see the god-like master of Venus. However, since following Li Yu, millions of spiritual stones passed through his hands. Cui
I have seen legendary figures like Wu Di, and even Venusian powerhouses like Zhao Ju have been close at hand.
The seventeen people's world outlook and life values suddenly changed. They felt that their lives were not wasted. They originally thought that Zhongzhou was a big world and the outside world was a small world. Now they suddenly discovered that Zhongzhou is nothing more than this and Qingyun City is nothing more than this. Come out and wander around to broaden your horizons.
More broadly, the most important reason why seventeen people became casual cultivators is that they have ordinary qualifications. Their highest wish in this life is to step into the purple star realm. But now, with this extraordinary guide, this wish seems to be upgraded.
Already...
As we went up, we found that although the people of Qingzhou were not as wealthy as Zhongzhou, the number of refugees was smaller than that of Zhongzhou. Large areas of wasteland had been reclaimed, and there were happy and energetic farmers everywhere.
There are far more officials in Zhongzhou than in Qingzhou, but it is rare to see officials walking around the four fields. And since I entered Qingzhou, I often see officials patrolling and checking on the fields and ditches, which is even more weird.
The strange thing is that there are monks helping the people to cultivate fertile fields and build rivers and dams. This kind of thing is so strange. As a monk, it is good enough not to exploit the people. Who will help the people to work hard?
Is this Qingzhou that has just been devastated by war?
Shouldn't it be devastated and homeless?
Li Yu and Iron Monkey were also surprised. In just over a year, the weather in Qingzhou was different from what they saw last time.
Li Yu had to lament that monks with magic skills were sometimes better than heavy machinery such as excavators. Things like digging trenches, building canals, and constructing water conservancy projects were done smoothly and without any shoddy work.
If this trend continues, in a few decades, the people of Qingzhou may be richer than the people of Zhongzhou.
Qingjiang City has undergone the biggest change. In just three years, there are no longer beggars and homeless people walking in the streets, and there are no longer low and collapsed thatched huts in the city. In the past, the snakes and rats roamed around in the smelly wasteland, lakes and swamps.
It has a large area of fertile farmland and lakes with beautiful scenery everywhere. There are fish in the lake and tourists on the shore. It has become a real city.
People come and go at the Qi Ling Sect specialty store. The streets and shops that were destroyed in the past have been renovated. The Li family shop monopolizes half of the street. There is a constant flow of customers coming in and out. There are hundreds of types of farm tools on sale, and the organization is getting better and better.
It is getting more and more complicated. Many of the agricultural tools are directly magic weapons. A sturdy magic tool trolley will not wear out after hundreds of years of use. As for the magic weapon hoe, you no longer have to worry about being damaged by stones. The magic weapon fishing net...
…Are you preparing to catch monster fish?
Under Xiaoqingshan, the area of farmland has expanded several times.
It was Li Ao's two old servants who presided over the Li family's shop, guarded the Li family's old house and managed the farm. After a conversation, Li Yu had already grasped most of the current situation in Red Star City.
The shopkeeper of the Qi Ling Sect specialty store is a Purple Star elder from the Qi Ling Sect. Li Yu doesn't know him. There are many clocks and magical instruments in the store, and the business is booming. After careful observation, he found that there are many people in this store.
There were actually no disciples from Scarlet Blood City. All the shopkeepers and clerks were dressed in the uniforms of Qi Ling Sect disciples.
After walking out of the specialty store, he asked the old servant of the Li family in detail. Only then did Li Yu know that a year ago, the Qi Ling Sect liquidated the Li family's shares in the specialty store and did not allow the Li family's shop to sell clocks, divine arm crossbows and other magic weapons.
, instead of paying the Li family a patent fee of one hundred thousand spirit stones every year.
Hearing the news, Li Yu was speechless for a while. In Qingyun City, he could sell an alarm clock for one hundred thousand spiritual stones.
Looking at the customer flow and transaction volume, this Qi Ling Sect specialty store earns at least two million spirit stones in profits every year on top of the clocks and watches, plus the profits from divine arm crossbows, crossbows, and chainmails.
The annual profit is easily over five million spirit stones.
These four most profitable magic weapons are all related to him, but the Qi Ling Sect is unwilling to distribute even 10% of the profits to the Li family. Is this trying to burn bridges?
In Scarlet Blood City, the most powerful disciples in the Artifact Refining Hall are the most numerous. Artifact refining is the most important source of wealth for Scarlet Blood City. As a result, the Qi Ling Sect did not allow the Li family shop to sell magic weapons, directly strangling Scarlet Blood City.
Neck, what do you want to do?
Li Yu felt that it was necessary to attack Qi Ling Sect.
"My master invites Senior Duan Wenhao to come to Scarlet Blood City to see you. Go and inform him. If you don't see Senior Duan within three days, your shop will be closed!"
Iron Monkey approached the head of the Qi Ling Sect.
"Who is your master?"
The Purple Star old cultivator looked at Iron Monkey up and down, and his heart was filled with anger. He dared to utter wild words and threaten Weapon Lingzong at the entrance of the three southern counties. He had never seen it before?
"Look at my uncle's face and think about it carefully!"
Iron Monkey pointed at his face, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Four years ago, the cultivators in Scarlet Blood City defeated the surrounding alien races. Li Yu made suggestions for Qi Ling Sect, and with the support of divine arm crossbows, crossbows, and chainmail, Qi Ling Sect defeated the Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Others don't know about the influence of Wang Ting, but Iron Monkey knows it very well. He feels that Qi Ling Sect is being ungrateful.
After withdrawing the Li family's shares and prohibiting the Li family's shops from selling clocks and magic weapons, what can the cultivators in Scarlet Blood City eat and drink? Can they earn spiritual stones by selling farm tools?
Hearing Iron Monkey's strange words and looking at Iron Monkey's lively monkey appearance, the heart of this old Purple Star cultivator suddenly jumped. He thought of someone, stood up in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be a fellow railway fellow, this...
…Didn’t Fellow Taoist Li Yu go out on a trip?”
"The world is so big, can you control where my master wants to go?"
Iron Monkey glared at Old Xiu, turned around and left.
The old cultivator's complexion changed several times. After summoning several shopkeepers and giving instructions, he personally drove the escape light back to the mountain...
"Keep your mouth tighter. Just forget about Qingyun City. We have never met Senior Zhao and Senior Cui. If you want to live a long life, talk less!"
Seeing Scarlet Blood City appear in sight, Iron Monkey gave instructions to the seventeen casual cultivators on the boat.
Everyone said yes again and again, and they remembered it in their hearts. They were not stupid. Of course, the secrets of seniors Jin Xing and Yin Xing should not be spread randomly.
Thousands of miles away, the Scarlet Blood City scouts had already appeared. They checked their identities before letting them go. Then, five more groups of scouts appeared one after another. Such a tight defense made the seventeen people secretly uneasy.
Although Li Yu did not show up, with his status as the Purple Star Elder of Iron Monkey Scarlet Blood City, he naturally had a smooth journey.
At this moment, the seventeen people saw the appearance of the monster army around Scarlet Blood City and saw the appearance of this majestic city, and they were all shocked.
"Elder Iron!"
"Disciple has met Elder Tie!"
"I've met Elder Iron!"
From a distance, the disciples of the Scarlet Blood Hall guarding the city wall saluted and said hello. The outstanding appearance of Iron Monkey and the appearance of this flying boat were familiar to all the cultivators.
When they saw Li Yu walking from the quiet room to the head of the boat, the cultivators were even more excited.
"It's the city lord!"
"The city lord is back!"
"Meet the city lord!"
...There are people saying hello everywhere.
Li Yu was quite satisfied with the defense of Scarlet Blood City and the mental outlook of the cultivators in the city. Along the way, Li Yu saw the vigilance, attentiveness, and sophistication of the scouts. The bunkers and sentinels everywhere complemented each other, and they were distributed everywhere.
Quite reasonable.
The cultivators in Scarlet Blood City are composed of small families and casual cultivators. The cultivation talents of the cultivators are not as good as those of Qi Ling Sect and Yunxiao Pavilion. If they want to gain a foothold on the edge of this wilderness and stand out, they can only rely on the cultivators.
Train as soldiers and build an army of brave and fearless monks.
Good habits must be adhered to. Although military-style training is harsh and boring, over time, the benefits will come out and practitioners will adapt.
When they learned that Li Yu had returned to the mountain, all the Purple Star elders, except those who were in seclusion, showed up one after another.
Li Yu simply invited everyone to the meeting hall.
After a conversation, Li Yu knew the current situation of Scarlet Blood City very well, and most of the troubles that were difficult to solve during the development of Scarlet Blood City were solved by Li Yu on the spot. The rest were
A part of Li Yu already had a solution in his mind, but he didn't say anything, and wanted Li Ao to come forward to solve it. The other part of Li Yu couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so he could only solve it slowly.
Finally, a batch of valuable elixirs and spiritual stones were taken out by Li Yu in public.
