Hearing Wang Daoyuan's words, Gu Chengfeng's face lit up.
Qingli County was within the borders of the State of Zhao, and it was the county that produced the most low grade materials.
In the east, there were countless ore veins of various sizes in the periphery of the Sky Beheading Mountain Range.
Coupled with the trade with the demons and half-demons in the north of the mountain, the conditions could be said to be unique.
If this business was successful, the problem of the lack of refining materials in Linhai could be completely solved.
Moreover, the Gu Clan and a few other clans were doing this business with the Wang Clan in private.
When selling to rogue cultivators, they could make a profit without lowering the price.
The clans in the cultivation world could only rely on their own resources to make ends meet.
If they wanted to make a fortune, they had to rely on rogue cultivators.
The two discussed for a long time. Neither side was short of spirit stones, so they did not use spirit stones to trade.
Both sides used the barter method. The Linhai County side used the materials of the sea beasts, including the inner cores of the beasts, to exchange for the refining materials here.
The Linhai County side gave a discount. The goods in Linhai County were sold according to the market price.
The goods in Qingli County were sold at twice the market price.
Of course, the clans in Linhai County sold the goods to rogue cultivators at four or five times the price. This was not something Wang Daoyuan could control.
After the two reached an agreement, Gu Chengfeng said goodbye and left.
Wang Daoyuan did not need to worry about the remaining details. The finance hall of the County King's Mansion would manage it.
After Gu Chengfeng left, Wang Daoyuan looked at Zhong Zhenyang and asked, "Marquis Guiyi, what's the matter?"
Zhong Zhenyang smiled and said, "His Majesty has sealed the defected clans in the north of the mountain, but he did not specify a fief.
I think it's because he has already handed over the north of the mountain to the County King and doesn't want to overstep his authority.
I came to beg the County King on behalf of a few clans. "
It had to be said that the Zhao Emperor was quite good at handling matters.
After handing over the north of the mountain to Wang Daoyuan, he did not interfere anymore.
He was not like the Netherworld Sect, who always wanted to cause trouble.
He nodded and asked, "Which spiritual mountain do you have your eyes on? Although His Majesty has given me full authority to deal with the north of the mountain.
But the north of the mountain is still the world of the demons and half-demons. They don't listen to me.
Even those human forces haven't taken the initiative to come and greet me. "
Zhong Zhenyang said flatteringly, "Those human forces don't come to greet you because they are blind.
With Your Highness's ability, the northern part of the mountain will be your fief sooner or later.
We want a fief with Yin Qi. As long as His Highness agrees, we will take care of the rest ourselves.
In the future, if the Duke has any orders, we will go through water and tread on fire without hesitation. "
Although Zhong Zhenyang's fief was to be placed in Shanbei, they were not considered people of Qingli Commandery.
After all, their titles were conferred by Emperor Zhao himself, and Wang Daoyuan was only managing the human forces in the north of the mountain on behalf of Emperor Zhao.
Their relationship was only that of superior and subordinate, not that of monarch and subject.
Wang Daoyuan's order was no match for the Zhao Emperor's imperial edict.
Zhong Zhenyang claimed to be a subject of Qingli County. Later on, he would only listen to Wang Daoyuan and would not listen to Emperor Zhao.
Wang Daoyuan was somewhat puzzled. "Within two thousand miles north of Mount Huiyan, there is only one Mysterious Yin Spring that produces Yin Qi.
But the Yin Qi there has already dried up, leaving only baleful aura. Where are you going to find a place with Yin Qi? "
Zhong Zhenyang smiled. "I have to thank Your Highness for this. Previously, you worked together with the demons to deal with the refined corpses.
After that, you also drew the underground water vein to bring out the Yin Qi of the Ghost Cave.
The underground water vein was abundant. After flowing out of the Ghost Cave, it turned into a river and flowed northwest.
Along the way, the river gathered many streams. Now, it is more than twenty thousand miles north of Mount Huiyan, flowing out of the Sky Beheading Mountain Range. "
Wang Daoyuan also knew about this. This kind of change in landscape naturally could not be hidden from others.
Rogue cultivators called the river Hell King River. After gathering many streams, the amount of water was almost comparable to a clear stream.
Moreover, the spiritual power contained in the river was not low, comparable to that of a third level water spirit vein.
The concentration of Yin Qi was even higher, reaching the third level of the upper level. It was comparable to the Darkwater River before the Yin Qi disappeared.
At present, there were already evil cultivators settling down there.
In a few decades, that place would become a gathering place for evil cultivators.
Ordinary families would not dare to settle down there.
However, Zhong Zhenyang and the rest were evil cultivators. Those wild fox cultivators were nothing in front of them.
Wang Daoyuan reminded, "You have to think carefully. That place is more than twenty thousand miles away from Mount Huiyan, and there are many demon and half-demon tribes in between.
If you are attacked, the commandery will not be able to provide support. "
Zhong Zhenyang had an indifferent expression. "Don't worry, Your Highness. This old man can still hold on for a hundred years.
Although the demons are strong, their souls are weak.
We cultivators of the walking ghost path are the best at suppressing the demons.
In front of me, a fourth level upper demon is just a piece of cake.
A hundred years is enough for me to kill all the demons in the surrounding area.
As long as the descendants can still produce Golden Core cultivators, it will not be a problem to protect the foundation with the help of the formation.
However, the northern part of the mountain is dangerous. I want to leave a few descendants who cultivate righteous cultivation techniques to work in the commandery prince's manor.
In the future, even if the family cannot withstand the demons, it will not end the family line. "
Since Zhong Zhenyang was insistent, Wang Daoyuan did not object.
The Wang family's main focus was on the periphery of the Sky Slash Mountain Range. They did not need to have any ideas about the northern part of the mountain.
However, the family had to grow stronger. They might have to expand to the north in the future.
Those who do not plan for the future will not be able to plan for the moment. It was better to plan ahead.
Evil cultivators and itinerant cultivators had always been the vanguard of the human race in reclaiming the wilderness.
With Zhong Zhenyang and the rest in the northern part of the mountain, the demons would not have to think about causing trouble in the southern part of the mountain.
When the Wang family expanded to the northern part of the mountain in the future, there would be less resistance.
Wang Daoyuan smiled. "Since you are not afraid, I have no objections.
It is not a big deal to send people to work in the commandery prince's manor. I will allow it.
However, I have to remind you that there is a Yellow Spring Secret Realm near the Mirror Treasure Lake Oasis.
There are many refined corpses there. You have to be careful.
Those refined corpses have extremely high intelligence. The leader is an old monster that has been alive for thousands of years.
Although you are a first-rate Golden Core expert and can easily defeat refined corpses, you may not be able to defeat that old monster. "
Zhong Zhenyang's face darkened. "A thousand-year-old monster with intelligence. Could it be a ghost cultivator?"
Wang Daoyuan nodded. "It is a ghost cultivator. When I was killing the refined corpses, he communicated with me through voice transmission.
This ghost cultivator can control Level Four refined corpses. These refined corpses are much stronger than those refined by the Underworld Sect. "
Zhong Zhenyang thought for a long time before replying, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. However, Your Highness joined forces with the demons to kill the refined corpses.
That ghost cultivator only dared to communicate with Your Highness but did not dare to attack. He must have his own concerns.
Since he is a ghost cultivator, it is inevitable that he will be struck by lightning.
He has lived for thousands of years and his strength has not reached the point where he has nothing to fear. He must have relied on the Yellow Spring Secret Realm to hide his secrets.
This person will not dare to leave the Yellow Spring Secret Realm. I am confident that he will only send out the refined corpses. "
Wang Daoyuan nodded. "If that is the case, then I will not speak any further.
According to convention, a marquis's land cannot exceed a thousand miles, a count cannot exceed five hundred miles, and a viscount cannot exceed three hundred miles.
You can go to the Underworld River and choose a spiritual mountain. Then, report to me.
Finally, I want to remind you that under my Qingli County, I can accommodate clans, but I can't accommodate sects.
I do not want to be like Emperor Zhao and be stabbed by sects. "
No matter how strong a clan was, it still needed mortals as its foundation.
In the bitter cold north of the mountains, it was not easy to strengthen a clan.
However, recruiting heretic cultivators would expand too quickly.
Zhong Zhenyang and the others held the inheritance of the Underworld Sect. Once they reopened at the Underworld River, they would recruit heretic cultivators.
In less than a few hundred years, there would be another Underworld Sect.
Although sects were not as united as clans, if a group of heretic cultivators who did not have many mortals to worry about wanted to cause trouble, the damage would still be great.
Hearing this, Zhong Zhenyang hurriedly cupped his hands. "Don't worry, Your Highness. We only want to protect our clan."
