Since the two elders had passed away, their positions couldn't be left empty.
The Business Hall was managed by Wang Shouju, the son of the tenth great uncle.
Because Wang Shouju was inexperienced, he didn't become an elder directly. Instead, he was appointed as the chief steward.
The position of the first elder was taken over by Wang Daochang, the Third Brother.
The original Mining Mountain Hall managed all the mines and forest farms of the family. There were too many things for one hall to manage.
The purpose of the Mining Mountain Hall was to train Wang Daochang.
Now that Wang Daochang had become the first elder, it was not suitable for the Mining Mountain Hall to continue managing most of the family's businesses.
After the discussion of the elders, the Spiritual Wood Hall was separated from the Mining Mountain Hall to manage the family's forest farms.
In the future, the Mining Mountain Hall would only be responsible for managing mining matters.
Because there were no suitable elders to manage these two halls, they could only be managed by the chief steward temporarily.
The Mining Mountain Hall promoted Wang Shouzheng, who had done a good job, to be the chief steward.
Wang Shouzheng was ranked 17th and was now at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. For many years, he had been in charge of the unimportant mines of the family.
After the reform, he became the steward of the Mining Mountain Hall and had been performing well.
The Spiritual Wood Hall promoted Wang Shouzhong, the 19th great uncle, to be the chief steward. He had been managing the spiritual wood of the south mountain of Linzhi Mountain for years.
After mourning for the ninth great uncle, Wang Daoyuan was ready to set off for the northern part of Huiyan Mountain.
The repair of the Wave Chasing Flying Boat would have to wait.
Although Wang Daoyuan was already a second-level upper-grade array master and had the ability to repair the flying boat array, he didn't have experience in this area after all.
If he went to repair the flying boat now, the success rate was not high.
If the more he cultivated, the worse it would be, the more the loss.
Besides, the Wang family didn't have a second-level upper-grade refiner. With his own ability, he might not be able to dismantle the flying boat.
Zhao Liang was only a second-level upper-grade refiner. If the core of the flying boat was damaged, he wouldn't be able to repair it.
Wang Daoyuan was really worried about asking the Yang family for help.
Therefore, the repair of the flying boat would have to wait until Zhao Liang's refining level reached the second-level upper-grade or until he had time to study refining techniques in the future.
The Wang family wasn't ready to open up a trade route at present, and the flying boat was not urgently needed.
Moreover, the Wang family also had a replacement for the flying boat, which was Yun Yi's dual-purpose flying tiger.
Now, if he tied a spirit ship with a floating array formation to its tail, it could also function as a flying boat.
Although Yun Yi had learned her lesson and needed twice the amount of barbecued meat to pull the boat, the price was still much lower than using the flying boat.
There was nothing for him to take care of in the family, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.
Although his cultivation was still at Foundation Establishment Level 3, Chen Ji did not know that Qi Yun had fallen into his hands.
As long as he didn't expose the Soul Extinguishing Bell and his doppelganger, Chen Ji would know who he was.
Therefore, those with lower cultivation levels would not be in much danger.
In order to cause trouble in Shanbei and not implicate the Wang family, Wang Daoyuan left Yun Yi, the golden wings, and the thunder ape behind.
They had been with the Wang family for a long time and were already familiar with each other.
Even if Wang Daoyuan was not by their side, they would not harm the Wang family.
Yun Yi, in particular, was busy running transportation and earning barbecue meat all day long. She had long become friends with the other clansmen.
Moreover, there were many demons in Shanbei. Raising spirit beasts would be viewed as enemies by the demons.
Wang Daoyuan informed the new Grand Elder, Wang Daochang, about his travels.
He was too lazy to manage the family's affairs, so Wang Daochang did not stop him. He only sent Wang Daoxing to guard Lin Zhi Mountain.
Wang Daoyuan quietly left Jade Spring Peak and found a secluded place in the Sky Slash Mountain Range.
He used a disguise technique and changed his appearance to Zhao Yunxing's. He changed out of his family's attire and into the attire of itinerant cultivators.
Then, he flew north on his sword.
The flying sword he used was the Flat Wave Sword.
The Shocking Wind Sword was a wind-attribute Dharma artifact. It was too eye-catching, so it was better to put it away.
Wu Yi was originally from this side, so it was easy for others to see through him if he used the Black Gold Sword.
The Flat Wave Sword was slow. It took fourteen to sixteen hours to reach Guiyan Market.
Guiyan Market was in the northern part of Guiyan Mountain. At the entrance of the northern part of Guiyan Valley, it was the place where the Netherworld Sect traded with the demons.
The goods of the Netherworld Sect entered Guiyan Valley from Golden Goose City, passed through Guiyan Valley, and arrived at Guiyan Market.
The Netherworld Sect had a Zifu Disciple overseeing Guiyan Market.
The demons had also sent a rank three demon beast to oversee this place.
The north of Guiyan Mountain had always been inhabited by humans and demons.
The area around Guiyan Market was mainly inhabited by humans. There were very few demon beasts.
Some of the mountains with spirit veins even had clans and small sects.
The two thousand li north of Guiyan Mountain was not much different from the southern part of the mountain.
Although it was not as densely covered with rivers as Qingli County, it was more suitable for farming than Heyang County, which was mainly grassland. The humans here were still mainly farming.
Two thousand li north of the mountain, there was a lack of water. The environment was mainly grassland.
The humans living there mainly herded animals.
Ten thousand li north of the mountain was a desert. There were very few mortals here.
Further north was an ice field. There were almost no humans living there.
The demon race was very widespread. There were demon beasts scattered all over Guiyan Mountain.
Ten thousand li west of Guiyan Market, there were many demon beasts gathered in the mountains. There were even high rank demon beasts.
Two thousand li north of the mountain, in the grassland, desert, and ice field, the number of humans was far less than that of demon beasts.
High rank demon beasts could give birth to half-demon offspring. In the north of Guiyan Mountain, half-demons were also a powerful force.
Some of the half-demons were close to humans. Some were demons of the same bloodline.
Most of the half-demons were neutral. They lived in tribes all over the northern part of the mountain.
As long as they had obvious human and demon characteristics, they could be considered half-demons.
For example, the head and second head of the Red Beard Bandits did not look any different from humans.
However, they did not look like humans. Instead, they looked more like the mane of demon beasts. Furthermore, they had inherited the innate techniques of the demon race. They were also considered half-demons.
The scale of Guiyan Market was not small. The entire market had close to two thousand shops.
After all, it was the business center between the northern and southern parts of the mountain. Various forces had shops here.
The entire market was shaped like a trumpet. It was narrow in the south and wide in the north.
The shops at the southern end of the market were distributed along the cliffs on both sides of the valley. The terrain was narrow. There was only one main road and two rows of shops.
The further north it was, the more shops there were. The streets were crisscrossed.
Wang Daoyuan landed outside the market. Guiyan Market was a place where good and bad people mixed together. It was best not to be too high-profile.
Guiyan Market was filled with people from all sides. Especially demons. Below rank three, their intelligence was not as good as normal people and they were especially wild.
The managers could not set any strict rules. They only forbade fighting in the market. If they damaged other people's things, they had to compensate.
In addition, the market did not allow the sale of living things.
Demons were not happy to sell demon beasts.
Humans were not happy to sell slaves.
They might as well ban all of them to avoid any disputes.
Processed beast meat could only come from low-rank spirit beasts raised by humans or half-demons.
The other businesses in the market were not much different from the ones in Clear Glass Market.
Wang Daoyuan walked into the market. Immediately, a level three Qi Refinement human cultivator came forward to talk to him. "Senior, is this your first time in Guiyan Market?
Although my cultivation is low, I have lived here since I was young. If you want to buy something, I can help you find the most affordable shop. "
This person was a broker. He helped some shops to attract business and collected commissions and a percentage of the shop's profits.
Guiyan Market was a place with many forces. It was not like Oasis, where the higher-ups were one family and the brokers were the higher-ups' dogs.
The brokers here didn't have much of a background. They were all rogue cultivators with poor cultivation talent and no special skills.
They could only rely on their eloquence and familiarity with the market. They pulled in business for the shops and earned some hard-earned money.
Wang Daoyuan was unfamiliar with this place. He wanted to stay in Guiyan Market for a while and ask about the northern part of the mountain.
He wanted to know about Hell Valley and Ten Thousand Corpse Daoist's resting place. If he went in without knowing anything, he would easily be cheated to death.
