Xiao Hong left.
Just like how he came quietly.
The purpose of his visit this time was to convey Marquis Beiyun's message.
Regarding this.
Qin Shujian naturally had no reason to refuse.
In any case, Beiyun Mansion was still under the jurisdiction of Marquis Beiyun. If Yuan Zong wanted to develop in Beiyun Mansion, he could not offend the imperial court.
Moreover, during this period of time.
Marquis Beiyun Mansion had given Yuan Zong a lot of help, both openly and secretly.
And no matter what Marquis Beiyun's purpose, at least until now, he had some friendship with him.
Therefore, he immediately agreed to Xiao Hong's request.
Of course —
The main reason was.
And it was because Marquis Beiyun's reward was not low at all.
Regardless of whether it was Upper Spiritual Level cultivation techniques, Lower Divine Level martial arts, or even Level Nine ores, Yuan Zong needed all of them.
Especially Level Nine ores.
If used properly, there was a high probability that they would be equivalent to Upper Spiritual Weapons.
As for such a reward.
It must be because Marquis Beiyun knew his identity as a Forging Grandmaster.
However, compared to the reward, what Xiao Hong said at the end was more in line with Qin Shujian's wishes.
"The coordinates of the Teleportation Gates of the major cities in the Liang Mountain Spiritual Domain. It seems that my identity as a Formation Grandmaster is really useful!"
Qin Shujian thought to himself.
The coordinates of the Teleportation Gates mentioned by Xiao Hong could not be the coordinates of the inner city.
Generally, the cities with Teleportation Gates were divided into two coordinates. One was the coordinates of the inner city, which was only used by the imperial court. It was the most important place.
The other was not the coordinates of the inner city, which was used by some people in the cultivation world.
But even so.
There were very few sects who were qualified to get the coordinates of the cities.
To Yuan Zong, this was an extremely good thing.
Because this meant that.
If a Teleportation Gate was opened in Liang Mountain City, it could be connected to the Teleportation Gates of all the cities in the Liang Mountain Spiritual Domain. In this way, Liang Mountain City would be several times more prosperous.
However, the news brought by Xiao Hong.
It also made Qin Shujian realize one thing.
Originally, he had planned to open a Transmission Gate in Cold Mountain City. He had also planned to open a Transmission Gate in the Blue Cloud Sect and several other Sects. Otherwise, these Sects that he had paid for would be quietly destroyed.
If the Blue Cloud Sect and other sects were destroyed, the properties under their names would also be scattered. Even Yuan Zong would not be able to take over completely. Even if he did, it would require a huge amount of manpower and material resources.
In comparison.
Qin Shujian was more willing to receive a stable income of 24 million taels of silver every year.
But now …
However, he didn't have the intention to open up a teleportation door for the other sects, and he intended to replace it with other methods. Besides that, he wanted to summon back the Domain Enlightened Spirit Gods that resided in those 12 sects.
On the other side.
The news that Sky Origin Sect was going to hold a competition in Cold Mountain City in three months had also spread out.
As for the rewards, they were even more tempting.
It didn't matter if he became Yuan Zong's consecrator.
Moreover, it was an opportunity to listen to Qin Shujian's lecture. This was a great opportunity for both artificers and array formation masters.
But if they were to really compare.
The former was obviously more important than the latter.
If they were able to seize this opportunity to enter the Sky Origin Sect and become a Reverend of the Sky Origin Sect, then they would definitely be able to obtain even more in the future.
The former was a long-term development.
The latter was a one-time benefit.
So long as they didn't have any other intentions, most people would come for the opportunity to become a Reverend of the Sky Origin Sect.
As for the news that the Sky Origin Sect would open its gates and recruit disciples in three months, it spread out along with the news of the competition.
Instantly.
Even Beiyun Mansion was shaken.
"The sect is opening its gates and recruiting disciples!" In Cold Mountain City, Guan Cheng was originally tasting food and wine in a restaurant. When he heard the news, he was instantly stunned, and then he stood up and said, "Waiter, the bill!"
"Sir, it's a total of one silver tael!"
"Keep the change."
Guan Cheng directly threw down three silver taels, and then he left the restaurant without looking back.
In the past, he would leave.
He would either put down the silver taels and leave directly, or he would leave without even paying the bill.
The main reason was that with his experience, he rarely took these matters seriously. If things went his way, then he would give a little more. If things didn't go his way, then he would leave directly. Could it be that the people of a small restaurant would dare to compete with cultivators?
However …
This was Cold Mountain City.
It wasn't that Guan Cheng hadn't seen it before. Some cultivators were too arrogant or used to being overbearing in the past, and couldn't change in a short time. After the incident, they were directly invited to the city's Enforcers.
As for the consequences …
There was no need to say more.
In other cities, the Enforcers would mostly teach them a lesson. The more serious ones would be sent to prison or something.
However, Cold Mountain City was different.
No matter whether it was a big or small matter, as long as they dared to cause trouble here, they would be killed on the spot. There was no room for negotiation.
Such an iron-blooded method naturally caused many cultivators to complain.
However, complaints were just complaints. At least on the surface, no one dared to say anything. After all, the Master who was comparable to a Heaven Realm cultivator was still here. Even if a God Realm cultivator came, they would have to obediently wait.
As time passed.
After the news of Cold Mountain City's iron-blooded method spread, the entire city's appearance suddenly changed.
No matter what status one had in the past, they had to abide by the rules of Cold Mountain City.
At first, Guan Cheng wasn't used to it, but he forced himself to adapt.
Because he wasn't used to it.
They were all dead.
After leaving the Cold Mountain City, Guan Cheng headed straight for the Ancient City.
Because Cold Mountain City didn't have a Transfer Gate, if he wanted to use a Transfer Gate, he would have to go to another city.
As an Elder of the Northern Spiritual Region's Guan Clan, Guan Cheng was very passionate about the Dao of Arrays. After hearing that Qin Shujian was an Array Master, he didn't care about anything else and directly rushed towards Cold Mountain City, hoping to see the Array Master.
Unfortunately.
After arriving at Cold Mountain City for a period of time, not to mention seeing Qin Shujian, he wasn't even able to step into Yuan Sect's mountain gate.
Regarding this.
Although Guan Cheng was anxious, he still suppressed his impulses.
Originally, he had planned to stay in Cold Mountain City for a period of time. He would only make plans for the next step when the competition started.
However, Yuan Sect suddenly spread the news that they were opening their mountain gate.
Guan Cheng had no choice but to temporarily leave and return to his clan.
The Northern Spiritual Region was very big.
In other words, the Cold Mountain City under his feet was actually part of the Northern Spiritual Region. If it was a general term, this place was technically where the Northern Spiritual Region was located.
However, if it was broken down, the Northern Spiritual Region would be divided into Ordinary Regions, True Regions, and even Spirit Regions.
Until the last part, where there were no shackles at all.
This was the true core of the Northern Spiritual Region.
As for the Guan Clan.
Even a big family in the core of the Northern Spiritual Region had a Great Cultivator of the Divine Martial Realm at its peak. However, as time passed, the strongest Great Cultivator was only a Prominent Divine Realm Great Cultivator.
However, even so.
The Guan Clan was also quite famous in the Northern Spiritual Region.
Apart from that.
The Guan Clan also had some connections with the big sects in the Northern Spiritual Region. They also had a powerful force behind them. As a price, the Guan Clan had to send a batch of geniuses to the big sects every few years to become the hub of the relationship between the two.
However, this time.
Guan Cheng had other ideas.
In terms of power, the sects in the big regions were naturally the most powerful. However, this wasn't absolute. Occasionally, there would be some exceptions.
Today.
Yuan Zong's appearance was an exception in his eyes.
A sect with an Array Grandmaster in charge, even if it only existed in the Spirit Region, was incomparable to the sects in the big regions.
Guan Cheng counted the days. It was already very close to the time when the Guan Clan would send their young descendants to the big sects again.
However, now that Yuan Zong was going to open the mountain gate, he immediately had the idea of taking this opportunity to send some of the Guan Clan's descendants to Yuan Zong.
This way.
If he could succeed.
Then, the Guan Clan would have a connection with Yuan Zong.
Of course.
This matter had to be done secretly.
If it was exposed, it would undoubtedly offend the original sect.
The various forces in the Cold Mountain City were very complicated. Most of the people who came had a corresponding force behind them.
After the news of Yuan Zong opening the mountain gate spread.
Instantly, many people had the same idea as Guan Cheng.
Things were different now.
Before Qin Shujian revealed the fact that he was an Array Grandmaster, when a big sect in the Spirit Region opened the mountain gate to recruit disciples, it could only affect a few Spirit Regions at most.
Even if the other party was the Spirit Region's Domain Lord, it could at most expand the area of influence.
However, after his identity as an Array Grandmaster was exposed.
The news of Yuan Zong opening the mountain gate was no longer limited to just one prefecture or one region.
After the news spread, many people immediately used different methods to send the news out.
Even more so.
Like Guan Cheng, they directly left the Cold Mountain City and rushed to the place where their forces were located.
Because.
When Yuan Zong opened the mountain gate, they had to be able to send the younger generation of their forces in.
To be able to join a sect with an Array Grandmaster was undoubtedly equivalent to joining a top force with an Empyrean Realm cultivator.
Such a force.
Even in the entire Great Zhao Thirteen Prefectures, there were only a handful of them.
Compared to Yuan Zong.
These sects might not even have the chance to open their mountain gate once in decades or centuries. However, once these forces opened their mountain gate, it would attract attention from all directions.
This was the influence that a top sect had.
This was something that all the sects in the Spirit Region and even the sects in the big regions did not have.
Such sects.
Every one of them had thousands of years of history. Some of them even had a history longer than the Great Zhao Empire.
If Yuan Zong did not have an existence like Qin Shujian.
Under normal circumstances, even after hundreds or thousands of years, they might not be able to reach such a force.
Let alone be on par with them.
Just as the news of Yuan Zong opening the mountain gate spread, the sects that had swallowed the resources of the eight sects finally sent people to the Cold Mountain Spirit Region to visit Yuan Zong.
