Wang Daochang cupped his hands. "Don't worry, I'll go tell my second brother and Dezhao."
After leaving the imperial study, he arrived at the Guardian Hall.
As the Deputy Hall Master of the Guardian Hall, Wang Daoxing was usually here to deal with official business when the Hall Master wasn't present.
A boorish man working as a clerk here was stifling him to death.
Seeing Wang Daochang arrive, he hurriedly asked, "Do you have some work for me to do?"
"The Imperial Court wants to establish a merchant guild. In the future, we'll use the guild's name to develop the industries within the territory.
His Majesty plans to investigate the industries within the territory. One reason is to get a clear idea of the family's background, and the other is to chase away those wandering cultivators who have taken over the family's industries without permission.
We'll need to mobilize the Guardian Hall's cultivators for this. You're in the middle of it. "
Hearing this, Wang Daoxing was overjoyed. He tossed aside the brush in his hand. "I can finally go out and do something. I've been stifled.
I'll mobilize the Guardian Hall's men and use the wandering cultivators for practice. "
"I'll also go find Dezhao. He's been traveling for decades and has plenty of experience in dealing with wandering cultivators.
It'll be much better to bring him along when dealing with wandering cultivators. "
Afterwards, he used a jade talisman to send a message to Wang Dezhao, telling him to wait at the Formation Hall.
Upon arriving, Wang Dezhao and the Deputy Hall Master, Wang Mingjue, were already waiting for him.
The Formation Hall Master was Wang Shouzhe. However, he spent most of his time at Jadespring Peak, working with Zhao Liang to forge flying warships and golems.
He rarely cared about the Formation Hall, so the Deputy Hall Master, Wang Mingjue, was in charge of the daily affairs.
Wang Mingjue's talent wasn't bad either. He was a three-spiritual root cultivator with a seven-inch primary spiritual root and was already at the late Zifu stage.
He was one of the first disciples Wang Shouzhe had trained in the field of formations. His mastery of formations had already reached the low-grade fourth level.
Seeing Wang Daochang enter, the two bowed. "Greetings, Third Uncle (Third Grandfather)."
"No need for formalities. His Majesty wants us to investigate the various industries of the family. The Formation Hall's men are skilled in prospecting. You'll work with the Guardian Hall.
Dezhao, you and second brother will work together.
If there are any wandering cultivators who take over the family's industries, you'll have to deal with them. "
Half a day later, the cultivators from the Guardian Hall and Array Formation Hall gathered together. They even brought along a few intelligence personnel from the Blood Shadow Azure Branch.
Of course, these people were also disciples of the Wang Clan.
Everyone boarded a dozen flying boats and flew towards the southeast.
Once they reached the Wanchuan River, they would head north to search.
First, he searched the most important Heaven Slash Mountain Range, then looked at the other places to see if they were occupied.
From the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range's main vein to the edge, it was seven to eight thousand kilometers wide. There were also many spirit veins within.
Naturally, there were many places where there might be minerals. Everyone needed to use the compass to explore the mineral veins.
If they were to investigate bit by bit, the entire range of the Sky Slash Mountain Range would be enough to torment them for a hundred or eighty years.
Of course, they were not completely blind.
Wang Mingchen had a map of the Valley of Beasts, which recorded the locations of many mineral veins.
What they needed to do was to follow the records on the map to find out the situation of the mineral veins.
Even so, investigating the situation within the Sky Slash Mountain Range still took a full two years.
The Wang Clan had always attached great importance to the industries within the Heavenslash Mountain Range and would often send cultivators to patrol.
Although those rogue cultivators were greedy, they weren't fools. They knew that this was the Wang Clan's backyard. Whoever dared to touch it would die.
However, no rogue cultivator dared to casually occupy a spirit vein and establish a force.
From the north bank of the Wanchuan River, they searched all the way to the boundary between the human race and the demon race north of the mountain.
There were tens of thousands of large and small spirit veins, as well as hundreds of level-four and level-five spirit veins.
Mineral veins were harder to find. After a rough sweep according to the map, they found thousands of level-four and above mineral veins. Among them, there were many Spirit Stone mines.
Spirit Stones were not only currency, but also cultivation resources.
It wouldn't be a problem to find a random spirit vein and develop it, earning hundreds of thousands or even millions of Spirit Stones every year.
After investigating the Sky Slash Mountain Range, they began to investigate the situation in Guiyan County.
The rogue cultivators here were more daring. A late-stage Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator dared to occupy a level-three spirit vein, set up a formation, and claim it as his own property.
These people were relying on the fact that no one cared about them, but in fact, they were still afraid of death.
The flying warship flew to the top of the mountain, and Wang Daoxing shouted, "This is the territory of the Yan Kingdom. All the spirit veins belong to the Yan Kingdom.
You occupying the spirit veins without permission is trespassing on the territory of the Yan Kingdom.
If you know what's good for you, remove the formation and leave. "
These rogue cultivators were not brave enough. In front of the Wang Clan's Golden Core cultivators and the level-four flying warship, they didn't dare to be arrogant at all.
They obediently apologized, put away the formation disk, and left the spirit vein.
The rogue cultivators to the west of Guiyan County were similar. As long as they were scared, they would leave.
They flew along the northern foot of Guiyan Mountain for hundreds of thousands of miles due west.
At this time, the south of Guiyan Mountain was the territory of the Wei Kingdom.
The rogue cultivators here were very daring, especially the Zifu Realm cultivators. Most of the level-four spirit veins had been occupied.
In the northern part of the mountain, there were very few Zifu Realm rogue cultivators.
After all, at this level, they could join any faction and be put in an important position.
Even if they offended a major faction, they could join another faction.
A large number of Zifu Realm rogue cultivators suddenly appeared here. It was very likely that some faction was testing the Wang Clan's bottom line.
The flying warship arrived at a small mountain range that stretched for more than five hundred miles from east to west.
This mountain was called Six Tigers Mountain. It had six relatively high peaks. In the past, each peak was occupied by a tiger-type demon beast. Of course, no demon beast dared to come out and seek death.
The spirit vein of Six Tigers Mountain was not low grade. It was already mid-level-four and very close to high-level-four.
In the future, it would not be impossible for it to reach level-five.
Every peak of Six Tigers Mountain was occupied by Zifu Realm cultivators who had set up formations. Some were even recruiting disciples.
Wang Daoxing walked to the bow and shouted, "This is the territory of the Yan Kingdom. If you leave this place immediately, the Yan Kingdom will let bygones be bygones.
If you persist, none of you will be left alive. "
A middle-aged peak Zifu Realm cultivator flew out of Six Tigers Mountain and cupped his hands towards Wang Daoxing. "Senior from the Yan Kingdom, the spirit veins here are all ownerless and are hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Yan Kingdom.
Senior, you say that this is the territory of the Yan Kingdom. Aren't you going too far? "
Wang Dezhao used his Divine Sense to check and said to Wang Daoxing, "Second Grandpa, this guy is not a rogue cultivator.
I'm very familiar with his aura. He should be cultivating the cultivation method of the Mountain Suppressing Sect of the Wei Kingdom.
This Mountain Suppressing Sect is one of the major forces of the Wei Kingdom. Its mountain gate is south of Mount Huiyan.
Although it is impossible to fly over Mount Huiyan, there are small mountain paths connecting the north and south.
These people should be ordered by the higher-ups of the Mountain Suppressing Sect to occupy this place.
You don't know much about this sect. Let me talk to him. "
Wang Daoxing nodded. Wang Dezhao said with a smile, "Junior from the Mountain Suppressing Sect, don't you know that the Wind Snow Deity Palace and the Yan Kingdom share the northern part of the mountain?"
"Of course I've heard about it. But that's only to protect these places and help the human forces resist the demon race.
If this place is protected by the Yan Kingdom, the territory will belong to the Yan Kingdom. I'm afraid that the entire Beiyuan will be divided by the five major forces.
Besides, the Qin Kingdom also occupies the Wind Snow Deity Palace's territory in the northern part of the mountain. I've never heard that the Wind Snow Deity Palace wants to attack the Qin Kingdom. "
This was blatant moral coercion. The top forces were regarded as the guardians of the human race. When the demon race invaded, they had to use their lives to block the demon race and couldn't get any benefits.
Hearing this, Wang Daoxing was so angry that he was about to make a move.
Wang Dezhao quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "When did the northern part of the mountain become the territory of the Wei Kingdom?
The Qin Kingdom occupied a part of the northern part of the mountain because they begged the Wind Snow Deity Palace.
When the West Sea demon race rebelled, Daoist Mo Lin personally led people to the Archaic Mysteries Sect. After that, a county was trampled by the West Sea demon race.
The human race and the demon race negotiated peace and obtained a large amount of land. That was also due to the Qin Kingdom. May I ask what your Mountain Suppressing Sect has done for the human race? "
