Zhang Dingming came up with a reliable countermeasure, and the rest of the Zhang family felt more at ease.
They were also worried that Zhang Dingming would fight to the death with the Shadow Lord and the Yan Kingdom. After all, the Zhang family was so small.
Now, it was hard for them to do anything alone, and even their own family members were starting to be disheartened.
The Shadow Lord had already grasped the main power in her hands, and more than half of the people in Blood Shadow supported her.
Coupled with the support of the Yan Kingdom, this power was not something the Zhang family could compare to.
Now that Zhang Dingming had plans to surrender to the Yan Kingdom, he would show how strong his family's foundation was and how powerful they were.
The Yan Kingdom would not dare to act rashly and could only take the Zhang family under their command through enlistment.
Of course, the benefits could not be lacking.
Zhang Mengchen cupped his hands and said, "Since Father has already made a decision, then let's do it.
I'll go back and inform the clansmen who are in charge of the first-level branch and let them arrange for their clansmen to be in important positions as much as possible.
By the way, Father, Zhang Mengguang is now the finance elder, and he has a high position.
Those non-direct elders who used to rely on our Zhang family, and the distant branches of the Zhang family, all have some ideas.
They may leave our Zhang family and rely on Zhang Mengguang.
If we can keep these people, our Zhang family will have more trump cards.
Should we pay a higher price to keep them here? "
Zhang Dingming sighed. "Now, what can our Zhang family take out to keep them?
We don't have the power to appoint personnel and finance in our hands, so why should they listen to us?
Especially those elders who used to rely on our family, they were originally looking for a big tree to cool off.
Now that the tree is going to fall, they will definitely find another one.
These people can't be kept, and we don't have to worry about them.
As for the distant branches of our Zhang family, we can try to keep them.
They also have the surname Zhang. Even if they rely on the Shadow Lord, it will be difficult for them to be put in an important position, and they may even be suppressed by the Xu family.
Now, we can raise the treatment of the distant branches to the same level as the main branch disciples.
After all, they are from the same branch, and there will be many people willing to stay. "
Hearing this, Zhang Mengchen was a little unhappy.
"Father, the number of the distant branches is more than ten times that of the main branch disciples.
If we give them the same treatment, the family's expenses will be more than ten times higher. "
Zhang Dingming could not hide the anger on his face, and he slapped Zhang Mengchen's face.
"How did I give birth to such a stupid son? At a time like this, he still had the mood to care about expenses?
No matter what, the Zhang Clan was still a cultivator clan with tens of thousands of years of history. How could they raise so many misers?
The family had tens of thousands of years of wealth. If the expenses were increased tenfold, it wouldn't be a problem for them to last a few hundred years. Wang Daoyuan wouldn't wait a few hundred years before making a move.
Our Zhang Family clearly doesn't lack that bit of resources, but you treat money as your life.
After I became the Great Elder, I wanted you to gain more experience, so I rarely took care of the family's affairs. But I didn't expect you to take care of the family's affairs like this.
The distant clansmen couldn't get any benefits from the clan, and their lives were even worse than those elders who weren't direct descendants.
If you had given them a little bit of resources, Zhang Mengguang would not have reported Zhang Dingyi, and our Zhang family would not have fallen to such a state.
Now is the Zhang family's last chance. We can only throw in everything we have and give it a try.
You're actually worried about spending too much? You really can't carve rotten wood.
Forget it, you guys aren't cut out for managing a family anyway.
I can't take care of Blood Shadow right now, so I'll personally take care of the family's affairs to prevent you from causing any more trouble. "
The Zhang Family's side was extremely vexed, while Wang Daoyuan was rather idle.
For the time being, he did not need to find trouble with the Zhang Family anymore. He also comprehended the array formation inheritance of the Valley of Beasts in the Zhou Family's small courtyard.
Previously, his artifact refinement level had already risen to Tier 5 high-grade, and he could reforge the Black Jade Cauldron. Now, it was also time to raise his array formation level.
After all, refining Tier 5 high-grade puppets and flying boats required both artifact refinement and pill refinement level to reach Tier 5 high-grade.
When he had nothing to do, he would take out a formation disk and carve Tier 5 high-grade array patterns on it.
The formation disk's requirements for materials were not high. Using Tier 4 materials to refine the formation disk was not a problem.
The Zhang Family admitted defeat. Zhou Luan could be said to be a man of his word in Blood Shadow.
Not needing to wrangle with people, the time to deal with official affairs was also very little.
Most of the time every day, he could stay in the small courtyard and take care of the two little fellows.
With him playing with the two little fellows, Wang Daoyuan also had more ample time.
Three years later, he successfully refined a set of Tier 5 high-grade defensive array formation disk and officially became a Tier 5 high-grade array master.
He did not dare to refine a Tier 5 high-grade flying warship. After all, that thing consumed too many artifact refinement materials.
A flying warship would consume thousands of years or even tens of thousands of kilograms of artifact refinement materials.
Tier 5 high-grade artifact refinement materials were originally insufficient. It was better to refine Tier 5 high-grade puppets.
In a short period of time, the combat power of the puppet was not inferior to a flying warship of the same rank. It was just that it could not last long.
But the materials used to refine a flying warship were enough to refine dozens of puppets of the same rank.
He also returned to the house in the small courtyard and began to refine a Tier 5 high-grade puppet.
This puppet was still a sword puppet. After all, sword puppets were the strongest.
Previously, he also refined a Tier 5 high-grade Origin Returning Sword. It was just right for this sword puppet to use.
Sword puppets were the puppets that he refined the most. It could be considered a walk in the park.
Even if it was a Tier 5 high-grade sword puppet, it would not take long.
In order to save on artifact refinement materials, he was very careful when refining.
However, it only took him half a month to complete the puppet.
Because he was careful enough, there were no major flaws left.
Next was to nurture the puppet soul. This was not difficult.
The puppet soul that he had previously asked for was not used up. He could still use it now.
After dealing with the demonic beast soul, he stored it in his sea of consciousness and drank some seven-leaf ghost face flower dew to nourish the soul.
When the soul was strong enough, Yuanying brought the puppet soul into the space of the spirit pearl and personally transmitted the Origin Returning Sword Intent into it.
The flow of time in the space of the spirit pearl was already ninety times faster than the outside world. The area was also more than two hundred mu.
The concentration of spirit energy was affected by Wang Daoyuan's cultivation. It could not be improved anymore. It stopped at the peak of Tier 5.
However, two of the spirit plants in the space of the spirit pearl had broken through to Tier 5.
They were the earliest Jade Needle White Jade Pine and a seven-leaf ghost face flower.
These two spirit plants originally had the potential to grow to Tier 5. But because of the lack of spirit energy in Xiuxian., it was not enough to support the growth of Tier 5 spirit plants.
Under such circumstances, Tier 5 spirit plants would either die directly or barely survive. It was impossible for them to break through to Tier 5.
After staying in the space of the spirit pearl for many years, there was enough spirit energy to nourish it. The seven-leaf ghost face flower had also multiplied for several generations. It was reasonable for it to recover its grade.
The Phoenix Feather Fir spiritual wood that he had obtained when he had just formed his core had now reached Tier 4 upper grade. It could be used to refine a Tier 5 lower grade flying warship.
Half a year later, the Origin Returning Sword Intent that the puppet soul had comprehended finally passed.
More than forty years had passed in the space of the spirit pearl.
Wang Daoyuan's Yuanying left the space of the spirit pearl and put the puppet soul into the puppet.
The strength of this puppet was already the top in Xiuxian.
In addition to the Origin Returning Sword Intent, Wang Daoyuan also gave it six spirit gathering pearls, which could allow it to fight for more than two hours.
And there were more ways to search for enemies. In addition to the magic compass, he also let it learn a secret detection technique.
In case it encountered opponents with special means to avoid the puppet's detection.
The two probing methods were more reliable.
Wang Daoyuan walked out of the house. Zhou Luan was meditating in the courtyard.
Seeing him come out, Zhou Luan said, "There's a big movement on the Zhang family's side again."
"Most of the elders who were not direct descendants of the Zhang family previously joined Zhang Yue.
Even some of the Zhang family's cultivators expressed goodwill to us.
The Zhang family still dares to play tricks. They are really bold. "
