The main reason why Zhao Hai didn't want those ordinary herbs was because the Four Righteous Gang's herbs had become a disaster. There were so many of them that they had to use several warehouses to store them. And those warehouses weren't used to store the herbs, they were filled with spatial bags. So how many herbs would it take to store several warehouses of spatial bags? Zhao Hai would have a headache whenever he thought about those medicinal herbs.
However, if Zhao Hai didn't take any herbs when he transacted with the Ye Family, then the Ye Family would become suspicious. Now, everyone thought that the Four Righteous Gang's business wasn't making any money. If the Four Righteous Gang suddenly stopped collecting herbs, then the Great Clans would be suspicious. If the Great Clans knew that the Four Righteous Gang's business was profitable, then they would certainly come and snatch it. Because of this, Zhao Hai set a rule that he would only take 10% of the herbs and the rest would be cultivation materials.
Some people would say that if you want a tenth of the medicinal herbs, wouldn't that be too little? At that time, wouldn't those big families still be suspicious of you? In reality, that wasn't the case. Zhao Hai wanted a tenth of the medicinal herbs and cultivation materials, so those big families would think that Zhao Hai had found a way to evolve the medicinal herbs. Then, he could use those cultivation materials to exchange for medicinal herbs and make some profit from it.
After sending Yeh Lin off, Zhao Hai returned to the fortress ruins. He didn't tell Yeh Lin about the fortress ruins, because Zhao Hai knew very well that Yeh Lin was still a member of the Ye Family. If Yeh Lin knew about the fortress ruins, then the Ye Family would know as well, and now was not the time to let the Ye Family know about the fortress ruins.
After returning to the fortress ruins, Zhao Hai immediately had Tie Xiong and the others refine more medicinal furnaces and increase the production of the potions. This time, Yeh Lin's arrival gave Zhao Hai a wake-up call. In Zhao Hai's opinion, if the Ye Family knew about the benefits of the potions, then the other big families should also know about it. If they also wanted to import a large amount of potions from the Four Righteous Gang, then their potion business would have to increase the production.
Facts proved that Zhao Hai's idea was not wrong. In the following period of time, many guests came to Cuiwei Mountain. These guests were all from the various big families, and they all wanted to buy a large amount of potions from the Four Righteous Gang. This was definitely good news for the Four Righteous Gang.
Zhao Hai naturally agreed. Of course, he also put forward a condition. The condition was that one-fifth of the medicinal herbs used to make potions, as well as other cultivation materials. These cultivation materials didn't have to be very good, but they had to be what ordinary sects needed. In addition, he also wanted a large amount of attribute jade essence, and if you took out the attribute jade essence, he would even give you some discounts.
Zhao Hai wanted the attribute jade essence for the Golden Mud. The Golden Mud he obtained back then had already become very large. In the fortress ruins, there was a separate medicine garden that contained the Golden Mud. There were also medicinal herbs planted there, and they were growing very well. Of course, the medicinal herbs planted there weren't ordinary medicinal herbs, they were all relatively precious. However, very few people in the Four Righteous Gang knew that there was actually such a medicine garden in the Four Righteous Gang.
Zhao Hai wanted the attribute jade essence to increase the area of the Golden Mud. He hoped that he could rely on the attribute jade essence collected from the outside world to turn the entire medicine garden in the fortress ruins into Golden Mud.
The successive arrival of the big families also made Zhao Hai feel a little nervous. He made the branches of the Four Righteous Gang more careful, but at the same time, he also made the branches of the Four Righteous Gang start to recruit a large number of Rogue Cultivators. Zhao was very clear that at this time, it was the easiest time to recruit people.
These Rogue Cultivators weren't fools. What's more, the Shangguan Family suddenly sent a fleet into the Void Realm. This wasn't a big secret. The big families were nervously preparing for the war, and these Rogue Cultivators were aware of this. This inevitably caused panic among the Rogue Cultivators. These Rogue Cultivators wanted to find a backer, because only with a backer would they be able to survive the upheaval that was about to happen. In order to increase their chances of survival, they hoped to join a force.
However, the threshold of the big families was too high. Even if they wanted to join, they wouldn't be able to. As for the small forces, even if they wanted to accept these people, they didn't have the conditions nor the ability to do so. This was because if they accepted these people, they would have to arrange their lives and provide them with cultivation resources. Otherwise, why would these people want to join them? Some small forces had very little income, so it was impossible for them to recruit more people. Even if they recruited more people, they wouldn't have a place to arrange for them, nor would they have any resources to distribute. This would cause chaos instead.
At this time, the Four Righteous Gang suddenly appeared. Each branch of the Four Righteous Gang began to recruit a large number of people. Of course, their recruitment was also very secretive. They would first contact some Rogue Cultivators. If these Rogue Cultivators wanted to join a force, then they would tell them about the Four Righteous Gang's situation and the treatment they would receive. If they agreed to join the Four Righteous Gang, then the branch would point them to a place where they would be sent to Jadeite Mountain. After a period of observation in Jadeite Mountain, if there were no problems, then they would be sent to the Fortress Ruins.
The Four Righteous Gang also had a special feature in their recruitment. Those Rogue Cultivators who already had a family or had established a small family would be given priority. The prerequisite was that they had to move their family members to the Four Righteous Gang. Because their family members were there, their loyalty would be guaranteed.
The scale of the Four Righteous Gang's recruitment this time was very large. However, it didn't attract the attention of the Great Clans. The attention of the Great Clans was now focused on the Shangguan Clan. Even if they didn't pay attention to the Shangguan Clan, they would still pay attention to the Beast God Star Field and the other realms.
The sudden appearance of the Shangguan Clan attracted the attention of the Great Clans in the Lower Paradise Region. At the same time, they also had to pay attention to the Beast God Star Field. Moreover, Elder Tang also told the Great Clans that he was attacked by people from other realms.
Because of this, the Great Clans were now focused on these big events. They didn't have the time to care about the life and death of the Rogue Cultivators. The Four Righteous Gang took advantage of this opportunity to recruit a large number of rogue cultivators. This also caused the Four Righteous Gang's number to increase rapidly in a short period of time. The resources of the big clans were also sent to the Four Righteous Gang one after another. The Four Righteous Gang also gave them a large number of potions.
It can be said that the Four Righteous Gang took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. However, the Great Clans didn't notice that the Four Righteous Gang had made a fortune. Not only did they not notice the Four Righteous Gang's wealth, they didn't even notice that the Four Righteous Gang's strength was increasing rapidly.
Not to mention the Great Clans, even the Life and Death Arena didn't notice it. After all, the Headquarters of the Four Righteous Gang was in the Fortress Ruins, and the Fortress Ruins was in the void. Aside from the members of the Four Righteous Gang, there was no one else there. Therefore, only the members of the Four Righteous Gang knew the extent of their development.
Of course, this didn't mean that the Four Righteous Gang didn't have any problems. In fact, the Four Righteous Gang had been developing very fast recently. Their members had already exceeded 100 thousand. With more people, there would be all kinds of conflicts and conflicts. This was especially true with the addition of some small clans. This caused the Four Righteous Gang to have different factions. Open struggles and veiled struggles were inevitable. However, Zhao Hai had already expected this. The Four Righteous Gang's rules had been revised, making them more comprehensive in order to restrain the actions of these people.
Among the new members of the Four Righteous Gang, some of them were sent by other Great Clans. Some of them wanted to use the information they knew about the Four Righteous Gang to go to other Great Clans and get a good background.
Towards such people, Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite. He would immediately execute them and notify the whole gang. Even some small clans would be slaughtered, not leaving a single one alive. Such an iron-blooded method made the Four Righteous Gang clear. Everyone knew that the Four Righteous Gang wasn't easy to provoke. If you become a member of the Four Righteous Gang, then you have to be honest and loyal. If you dare to be half-hearted, then the Four Righteous Gang wouldn't be polite.
The increase in the number of members of the Righteous Four Gang also brought along another kind of people, the ambitious ones. These people might have some strength, and they also established a family that wasn't too weak. When they first joined the Righteous Four Gang, they were very cooperative. But at the same time, they also learned about the Righteous Four Gang bit by bit. They were like poisonous snakes staring at their prey. When they didn't attack, you wouldn't notice them.
But when they learned that the Four Righteous Gang only had a few thousand people in the beginning, and only a few hundred Teleportation Realm cultivators, they couldn't help but think about it. In their view, the few thousand people in the beginning were the real core of the Four Righteous Gang. They were the ones who were truly loyal to Zhao Hai. As long as they dealt with those people, then Zhao Hai would be finished. At that time, the Four Righteous Gang would be theirs. Even the ruins of the Stronghold would be theirs. This was too attractive for them.
Greed made them dizzy! This sentence was not wrong at all. Although these people knew that Zhao Hai was very strong, they didn't think that Zhao Hai could do anything to them alone. Therefore, some small clans that joined the Four Righteous Gang secretly joined forces and launched an attack. They wanted to seize the Four Righteous Gang in one fell swoop.
But before they could launch an attack, Zhao Hai had already led his army to block them. After a massacre, Zhao Hai finally made them understand that the Four Righteous Gang only had one leader, and that was Zhao Hai. He was the only king of the Four Righteous Gang.
The massacre this time was really shocking. Because this time, Zhao Hai killed a total of 5,000 people. Among them, 500 were Teleportation Realm cultivators. As for the rest, whether it was the elderly or the children, they were all slaughtered without exception.
Such an iron-blooded method completely shocked the people of the Four Righteous Gang, making them all behave. After two massacres, Zhao Hai began to use his soft tactics again. He improved the treatment of the people of the Four Righteous Gang. At the same time, he adopted a very tolerant attitude towards the small clans that joined the Four Righteous Gang. He spared no effort in cultivating the disciples of these small clans. The patriarchs of these small clans understood that they would never become cultivators of a higher level in their lifetime. However, they hoped that their children could become cultivators of a higher level. Therefore, they were very happy that the Four Righteous Gang valued their children so much. This also allowed the Four Righteous Gang to gain the hearts of these small clans in a short time, making them loyal to the Four Righteous Gang.
After a series of reorganization, the Four Righteous Gang finally got on the right track. At this time, more and more people joined the Four Righteous Gang. The total population of the Four Righteous Gang exceeded 120,000. Although it seems like a lot of people, compared to the area of the fortress ruins, this number was really small.
While the Four Righteous Gang was developing, the atmosphere in the Lower Paradise Territory became even more tense. The Great Clans suddenly discovered that they were being attacked from all sides. They suffered heavy losses in the Beast God Star Field, so they couldn't send people there anymore. The sudden appearance of the Shangguan Clan made them feel a sense of crisis. The other planes also began to become restless, making them have no choice but to deal with them carefully. Most importantly, they also offended the Life and Death Arena, offending a strong reinforcement.
In the past, Elder Tang went to the Great Clans and told them not to send reinforcements to the Beast God Star Field. However, they didn't listen. First, their relationship with the Life and Death Arena wasn't very good. Second, they were reluctant to leave the Beast God Star Field. Third, they also believed that the Beast God Star Field wasn't as serious as Elder Tang said. Because of this, many Great Clans didn't give Elder Tang any face and sent reinforcements.
However, the sudden appearance of the Shangguan Clan made these Great Clans calm down. Moreover, all the cultivators in the Beast God Star Field had lost contact with their clans. This made these Great Clans believe Elder Tang's words. However, it was too late, they had already offended Elder Tang.
Originally, when Elder Tang went to persuade them, they would have calmed down and agreed to his proposal. Then their relationship with the Life and Death Arena would be eased. Once their relationship with the Life and Death Arena was eased, they would be able to ask the Life and Death Arena for help. But now, it seems like it was impossible.
While the atmosphere in the Lower Paradise Domain was tense, some Great Clans led by the Tu Clan suddenly announced that they would welcome people from other planes. Moreover, they would give some of their territories to those planes so that they could station their troops there.
This matter was like a fuse, it caused a chain reaction. The other clans discovered that there were so many Great Clans that were under the control of the other planes. These Great Clans immediately formed an alliance and prepared to suppress the other Great Clans led by the Tu Clan.
But at this time, Elder Tang suddenly appeared and announced that he would join the alliance to suppress these Great Clans. At the same time, he also announced that the attack on him was done by the Tu Clan and other Great Clans. This made everyone understand why Elder Tang wanted to join the alliance.
