Wang Zhian nodded and said, "Shouye's idea is indeed not bad. It's just that traveling through the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range is still quite risky. The transportation cost is hard to say.
This isn't something that can be completed in a short period of time. It will require decades or even centuries of effort. In my opinion, it's better to buy a spirit boat first and try it in Linhai State. Even if it doesn't work, it can also add a new transportation tool for the family. "
The elders did not have any objections. They were originally very tempted by this plan. They were just worried that the plan would consume too many resources and affect the family's normal operations.
According to the patriarch, executing the plan step by step would greatly reduce the financial pressure. Even if the plan didn't work, the family would not lose anything. It concerned the family's future. The elders naturally all agreed.
Seeing that no one objected, Wang Zhian said, "Since no one has any objections, then confirm this plan and prepare to execute it.
Shouye, you often travel outside and have a wide network. This plan will be carried out by you. Inquire about the flying spirit boat first. Only with the spirit boat can we carry out the later part of the plan.
After all, the plan was just proposed. It was inevitable that there would be shortcomings. If others have any good suggestions, you can also raise them.
Dao Yuan, you were the one who suggested leaving a way out for the family. You should have some ideas, right? Tell us. "
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, I do have some ideas. But compared to the Twelfth Uncle's plan, there are still some gaps. I don't understand the situation in Linhai State, so I didn't think there. My plan is to go east. "
"East?"
"East is the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range. Demonic beasts run amok!"
"Not only that, the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range is an ownerless land. The three major sects don't dare to set foot in it. There are desperadoes who seek refuge everywhere. How will the clansmen settle down?"
…
The elders all talked at once, firmly opposing Wang Daoyuan's plan.
Wang Zhian coughed and said, "Quiet down. Dao Yuan won't speak without thinking. Let him say the reason."
"Many thanks, Patriarch." Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands and thanked Wang Zhian. "I once heard a saying: 'A cunning rabbit has three burrows. We can only spare it from death.' Right now, there is only the Netherworld Sect. Once the three major sects have an all-out conflict and the Netherworld Sect is defeated, our Wang family will also be buried with them.
Even if the Twelfth Uncle's Linhai Prefecture plan succeeded, there would only be two holes. In the future, if the Underworld Sect falls and all our clansmen flee to Linhai Province, if the Cruel Sun Palace is determined to destroy our Wang Clan, the thirteen families of Linhai Province are not related to us. At most, they will not help either side and will not protect us.
Thus, the two caves were not a foolproof plan.
"I suggest heading east and entering the periphery of the Heaven's Slash Mountain Range. This is to ensure that our clansmen can enter the Heaven's Slash Mountain Range while the other two caves are unstable.
Our clan already has some businesses in the upper reaches of the Clear Stream. My suggestion is to use these businesses as a foundation and continue to invest more, gradually moving the clan's mortals over. Then, he searched for ore veins and spirit mountains in the surroundings and gradually advanced towards the Heaven Slash Mountain Range.
In this way, even if they couldn't move the family there, they could increase the family's income. If they could find valuable mineral veins, it would be of great benefit to the family's business. It would also be helpful to the Twelfth Uncle's plan.
However, in the beginning, they might be attacked by demonic beasts and rogue cultivators.
We don't have to worry about other forces obstructing us. After all, there are too many monks and too little porridge in the Huiyan Mountain Range. Many clans want to find other ways to make money.
There are also many people who have designs on the Heaven's Slash Mountain Range. However, they don't know the depth and don't dare to be the first to make a move.
Our Wang Clan will be the first to test the depth, and the other forces will be happy to see it.
The first to make a move is the riskiest, but the benefits are also the greatest. "
After hearing Wang Daoyuan's words, everyone fell silent. Originally, everyone was thinking for the future of the clan. However, there were sufficient reasons for different opinions, so it was understandable.
The First Elder looked at Wang Daoyuan and asked, "Can we develop to the north?"
Wang Zhian sighed and thought to himself, "The First Elder is really old!" He didn't dare to take any risks. Hiding his strength and biding his time was to not show off and accumulate strength, not to be a coward.
Without waiting for Wang Daoyuan to speak, he said to the First Elder, "Developing to the north and mining the many mines in the Huiyan Mountain Range can strengthen the clan, and the risks are very small.
However, high risks have high returns. More than 90% of the mines in the south of the Huiyan Mountain Range are owned. We are in the Huiyan Mountain Range, which is far away from the main mountain range. The spiritual energy here is thin, and the high-value spiritual mines are extremely rare.
Even if the clan develops with all its strength, there won't be much profit, and there will be conflicts of interest with other clans. The gains don't make up for the losses.
The east of the clan is the periphery of the Heaven's Slash Mountain Range, which is only a few thousand kilometers away from the main mountain range. In addition, the spiritual energy in the Heaven's Slash Mountain Range is far better than in the Huiyan Mountain Range. The periphery is also rich in spiritual energy, and the potential is much greater than in the north. "
Wang Daoyuan sighed inwardly. The Great Elder was just like the old saying, 'The older you are in the martial world, the more cowardly you become'. You don't want to take any risks at all, and you're still thinking about getting benefits.
Of course, he couldn't say these words out loud.
At this time, an elder said, "How's the contact with the Thousand Spirit Sect?"
This elder's name was Wang Shouyuan, and he was ranked fourth in the Shou generation.
Wang Daoyuan and Wang Shouye both looked at him with strange expressions, which made him feel embarrassed.
Wang Shouyuan asked awkwardly, "Is there something wrong?"
Wang Shouye looked at him with a faint smile and replied, "Fourth Brother, although this plan can be used, it's courting death if we use it now. If the Netherworld Sect is destroyed by the two sects and can't take care of itself, we can contact the Thousand Spirit Sect and express our intention to surrender. It's a good way out.
But now, the Netherworld Sect is only damaged, and there are still six Golden Core cultivators, dozens of Violet Palace Realm cultivators, and hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect.
The Thousand Spirit Sect and the Cruel Sun Palace are also beating the Netherworld Sect, and they don't plan to destroy it.
This time, the two sects are jointly suppressing the Netherworld Sect, and many of the subordinate forces have this idea.
The Netherworld Sect took out the Foundation Establishment Pill to appease people.
However, appeasing people requires both kindness and power. The kindness has been shown, and they are just waiting for some blind people to jump out and make an example of them.
Fourth Brother, your plan directly bumps into the Netherworld Sect's blade. "
Wang Shouyuan smiled awkwardly, "So there are so many twists and turns, I didn't think so much."
Wang Zhian mediated, "Shouyuan, don't be discouraged. You're not good at scheming, so it's normal that you can't compare to Shouye and Daoyuan. If it's planting spirit herbs and taking care of spirit fields, the two of them added together can't compare to you."
Wang Shouyuan was a level two spirit plant farmer, and was in charge of the family's level two spirit herbs. When the family head mentioned his specialty, he felt a bit better.
Wang Daoxing, who had been silent, also advised, "Fourth Uncle, we're all honest people, don't compare with them. They have as many tricks as a beehive, and I'm too lazy to think so much.
Let them play tricks, I'll be obedient and smash whoever they want me to smash. "
Everyone lamented the misfortune of the family. They finally had a genius who could cultivate the Lustrous Golden Body Art, but he was such a fool.
You still have the nerve to say you're honest, is that honest? You're lacking in thought.
Wang Zhian saw that no one was firmly opposing Wang Daoyuan's plan, and finally decided, "I think Daoyuan's plan is feasible. Now, we'll set the general direction and how to implement it. We'll gradually adjust according to the actual situation.
Right now, we need to find a capable person to find a suitable mine. I think Daoyuan is not bad, he has enough schemes, and he won't lose out.
Before Daoyuan entered the family, he was also from that area, and it will be convenient for him to act there. "
