Wang Daoyuan came to the Imperial Hall of Qingli City. Wang Mingchen, Twelfth Uncle, and Third Brother were already there to receive Zhao Jingguo.
Seeing him arrive, Zhao Jingguo bowed and said, "Greetings, Yan Country's Retired Emperor."
Wang Daoyuan waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. I heard that Emperor Zhao wants the territory in the Sky Beheading Mountain Range. What are your plans?"
Zhao Jingguo replied, "Under Emperor Zhao's orders, I want to buy the territory east of Linchuan County and part of Wanlong Mountain from Yan Country. I hope that Retired Emperor and His Majesty will allow it."
Zhao Country was a bit interesting. They only wanted part of Wanlong Mountain to avoid the border with Song and Qi.
Currently, Zhao Country and Song Country only had the border of Wucheng Pass in name. There was also the Sixth Prince's small imperial court between them.
The Sixth Prince was already over nine hundred years old, and there weren't any outstanding figures among his descendants.
When he died, Zhennan Kingdom would fall into the hands of Thousand Spirit Sect.
At that time, there would be an unavoidable war.
Wang Daoyuan originally wanted to sell these places. If Zhao Country wanted to buy it, there would be no problem.
With Yan Country's current strength, there was no need to care about Zhao Country and Song Country.
No matter who won or lost, they would not dare to have any ideas about Yan Country.
"Selling these places is not a problem. How much of Wanlong Mountain does Emperor Zhao want, and how much?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jingguo's face revealed joy.
Wang Daoyuan asked this, which meant that he agreed.
As long as Zhao Country gave a suitable price, this business was done.
"Emperor Zhao wants the ten thousand mile wide area east of Linchuan County and the northernmost part of Wanlong Mountain.
As for the price, Zhao Country is willing to exchange Linhai County.
Although there are fewer spirit veins and minerals in Linhai County, the territory is much bigger.
Moreover, Linhai County is located at the mouth of the Wanchuan River. The territory will continue to expand.
Hunting demonic beasts is also very convenient. The value of demonic beast materials is not lower than minerals.
Zhao Country's talents have withered. All kinds of minerals have been destroyed by the three sects' rebellion. They can't take out anything good.
If Retired Emperor and His Majesty are not satisfied with this price, we can only buy less land. "
This price was indeed not bad. Linhai Prefecture was formed by the Wan Chuan River and was mainly composed of plains.
The entire Linhai Prefecture was in the shape of an irregular triangle. It was over fifty thousand li from east to west, and had an average width of thirty thousand li from north to south. Its area was equivalent to three to four times that of the original Qingli Prefecture.
In addition, after the Wan Chuan River reached the lower reaches, it divided into many smaller channels.
The spiritual energy in the river was comparable to that of a third grade spiritual vein or a fourth grade spiritual vein.
Although the river delta was extremely lacking in minerals, with the nourishment of the river, more than half of the land in Linhai Prefecture could be developed into spiritual fields.
With so many spiritual fields developed, the number of cultivators that could be fed would be at least a few million.
As Linhai State continued to expand, there would be more and more places that could be developed into spirit fields.
Of course, in order to develop these spiritual fields, they would need a huge amount of manpower.
The thirteen families of Linhai had occupied Linhai Prefecture for tens of thousands of years, but the amount of spiritual land they had developed was far less than that of Guangyuan Prefecture in the Zhao Country.
With the growth rate of the Wang Clan's cultivators, it would take at least ten thousand years for them to develop the entire Linhai State.
Of course, this was just an ordinary method.
Wang Daoyuan could make puppets, and had enough materials. He could have his doppelganger make large amounts of puppets in the space of the ling bead.
Puppets had many functions. In theory, they could do all the work that humans could do.
But forging, making seals and the like used up too much spiritual energy. Puppets' spiritual energy was very weak and could not last long.
The work of a ling plant farmer did not use up much spiritual energy and could be done continuously.
Puppets did not need to cultivate. With the supply of energy from the ling gathering bead, they did not need to recover spiritual energy.
One ling plant farmer puppet could take the place of three or four ling plant farmers.
The method of making low level puppets could also be taught to the forgers of the clan.
It would take thirty to forty years to develop an excellent ling plant farmer. Low level forgers would only need a few months to make a ling plant farmer puppet.
It would not take long to train him to do simple work.
Wang Daoyuan thought for a moment and said, "I am very satisfied with the Zhao Emperor's price. Let's follow this price.
But there are thirteen Linhai families in Linhai state that have all been conferred nobility by the state of Zhao. There is also the Linhai Duke. How should we deal with these large families? "
Zhao Jingguo cupped his hands and said, "The Zhao Emperor has also considered this matter. Those families all have fiefs in Linchuan County.
If they are willing to abandon Linhai state, they will all move to Linchuan County.
If they abandon Linhai state, they will split their families into two.
The portion with nobility will move to Zhao.
The portion that stays in Linhai state will be a normal family and will be managed by the state of Yan.
In addition, the Linhai Duke's fief will also be moved to the west of Sky Beheading Mountain Range.
We still want to leave a portion of our people in Linhai state.
Now that Zhao is in decline, if Yuanying cultivators appear in Song, they could attack at any time.
The Zhao Emperor wants to leave a way out for his family in Linhai Prefecture. I ask the Retired Emperor and Your Majesty to approve. "
This was human nature. Song was an old noble family. Although their inheritance was not very good, they had produced Yuanying cultivators and had a level five legacy magic artifact.
Although Song Yan's cultivation talent was not as good as the Zhao Emperor's and Zhao Jingguo's, his chances of breaking through were very high.
With Song Yan's character, once he broke through to the Yuanying realm, he would definitely attack Zhao again.
"That is not a problem. It is also good to leave more people in Linhai state.
If everyone leaves, it will take a lot of effort for the state of Yan to develop Linhai state.
I agree with the Zhao Emperor's proposal. You can just send someone to Mingchen. "
Zhao Jingguo bowed and said, "Many thanks for your permission, Your Majesty. I have another matter to discuss with Your Majesty.
I heard Your Majesty went out to sea for several decades and found ruins left behind by ancient cultivators.
Not only did you cultivate to the Yuanying realm, but you also obtained many Yuanying inheritances and level five treasures.
The ancestors of Zhao were rogue cultivators. Although they obtained the inheritances of ancient cultivators, those ancient cultivators were only at the peak of Golden Core.
Although they had part of the Yuanying inheritances, they did not have a level five magic tool to resist the Yuanying tribulation.
The Zhao Emperor wants to use the Blooming Water Divine Lightning to ask Your Majesty to upgrade the ancestral Seal of Mountains and Rivers to a level five magic tool. "
Wang Daoyuan had seen the Seal of Mountains and Rivers before. Although it was a peak level four magic tool, it was not an ordinary item.
This item was refined by Emperor Wu of Zhao in the past and was fused with the essence of spirit veins in Zhao state.
In Emperor Wu's era, there were level five magic tool refining materials.
The materials used to refine the Seal of Mountains and Rivers were low-grade level five magic tools.
However, Emperor Wu of Zhao's refining skills were not good enough and could only refine it into a level four magic tool.
After more than ten thousand years of nurturing by the successive Zhao Emperors, the magic tool's power was not much worse than a low-grade level five magic tool.
If it could be refined into a level five magic tool, it would not be difficult to resist five Yuanying tribulations.
As for the Blooming Water Divine Lightning, its value was very high.
Although he had broken through to the Yuanying state, the power of a casual attack was far superior to the Blooming Water Divine Lightning.
However, for cultivators below the Yuanying state, the power of the Blooming Water Divine Lightning was still very terrifying.
He still had the incomplete Earth Divine Lightning and Fire Divine Lightning in his hands. With the Yuanying cultivators' control of the laws, it was not difficult to deduce level four magic tools.
Although it might not be the same as the original version, the power would not be too different.
The Zhao Clan could deduce the Blooming Water Lightning Sword based on the Blooming Water Divine Lightning. The Wang Clan could also deduce more cultivation methods and magic tools in the future.
Wang Daoyuan nodded. "I have seen the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. The material is indeed good. It will not be a problem to refine it into a level five magic tool.
However, I have a condition.
The Seal of Mountains and Rivers has been fused with various level four spirit veins in Zhao state, including many spirit veins in Yan state.
I do not want my own spirit veins to be affected by others. "
Zhao Jingguo hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Retired Emperor. After Yan state was established, His Majesty removed the spirit veins in Yan state from the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.
Now, only the spirit veins in Linhai state are left in the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. "
