Ban Lan didn't waste his time these days. He asked Bai Guo about the Hao Clan's situation, and he also learned a lot of information from his fellow Daoists. Putting everything together, it wasn't hard to see that the Hao Clan usually didn't have the intention to rule over remote areas.
After some backward areas were occupied, they directly gave a title to the local leader, and then collected some symbolic taxes. As for the poorer villages, even if you wanted to be taxed, the Hao Clan might not necessarily be willing.
That was because those places didn't produce much, but instead benefited more from the Hao Clan. Of course, the ones who benefited the most were the higher-ups of these areas, and the lower-level people would always benefit the least.
Ban Lan felt that if the Hao Clan asked them to merge into their territory, that wouldn't be a bad thing. At most, the Hao Clan would send a tax collector once a year, and they could use this opportunity to obtain more advanced techniques and tools from the Hao Clan. These things could all speed up the expansion of the gathering place.
He Li asked, "Sir, this subordinate dares to ask, will we be rewarded for doing this?"
Ban Lan said, "Of course there are. Whether it's the merit of imparting or the merit of teaching, it can allow us to obtain a large amount of merit points. This is much more than joining a sect and obtaining skills."
He had already seen it. After bringing many benefits to the village this time, he obtained a lot of merit points. This meant that the higher-ups encouraged him to do this.
And as long as he had enough merit points, he could exchange for all kinds of seals from the Xuntian Dao Zhang. Although he couldn't bring everything here back, he could bring back the seals he exchanged, and the experience he obtained wouldn't disappear.
His goal was to achieve Xuan Zun here. If he succeeded, then he had a great chance of reaching this realm when he returned.
He could even try to break through repeatedly. Although the higher his merit points, the longer it would take to recover, and he might need to cultivate again, compared to the price he would have to pay if he really failed to break through, it wasn't worth mentioning.
He felt that after this incident, the lower-level Xuanxiu would definitely be able to gradually catch up with the gap between True Cultivators in the next few decades or centuries.
Therefore, he had another idea. Not only did he want to achieve something, but he also wanted to find a way to guide more Xuanxiu to advance, and this was what he was good at.
In this way, these people would definitely remember him after their success, which would help him gain a foothold in Tianxia.
Although this kind of thinking was more utilitarian, he felt that as long as the final result was good and did not cause any trouble, there was nothing wrong with it.
He didn't hide anything from He Li and told him his idea. He Li was immediately impressed and praised, "Mister is far-sighted. This subordinate will definitely help Mister accomplish this feat!"
At this moment, after more than two months had passed since the incident, the arrival of Tianxia and Xuanxiu also caused some waves. More than a thousand people were scattered between heaven and earth. Originally, they couldn't even cause a splash, but the uniqueness of their bodies attracted the attention of the Hao Clan's various' inspection offices'.
For example, there was a Xuanxiu disciple who couldn't stand to see injustice and stood up for some bullied people. He was arrested and sentenced to death, but then he came back from the dead. It was useless to kill him several times, and he almost escaped. They could only imprison him in prison and report this matter, but then he disappeared without a trace.
Bai Guo had received Zhang Yu's instructions. If they didn't encounter a Xuanxiu disciple who really couldn't escape, they would find a way to make him disappear far away and then return.
It would be fine if this kind of thing happened only one or two times, but it happened in different places. Moreover, it was suspected to be the doing of cultivators. This made the Hao Clan's upper echelons suspect that it was the doing of various sects. Therefore, they sent out a team of elite creator cultivators to investigate this matter.
Zhang Yu saw the actions of each Xuanxiu disciple through Xuntian Dao Zhang. He didn't say much about this, nor did he restrict them.
Summoning these fellow cultivators was just to give each of them a chance. What they were willing to do was all up to them. Success or failure, they would have to bear it themselves.
Moreover, he saw that most of his fellow cultivators were eager to improve themselves. They were all thinking of ways to seize this opportunity to improve themselves. This was undoubtedly a good thing.
These people were only insignificant waves, but when these people gradually grew into a river and gathered in one place, they would definitely be able to set off monstrous waves.
After he checked on everyone's situation, he put away Xuntian Dao Zhang. With the methods that he could reveal at his current level, he continued to improve the method of the Demonic Blood Decay.
In the following days, he would come up with some results every half a month.
During this process, he intentionally revealed his hobby of enthusiastically collecting ancient items. He wanted to see if he could still absorb Origin Energy after arriving in this world of Dao Transformation.
After another three months, he had already come up with a more mature method.
This method couldn't completely resolve the Demonic Blood Decay, but as long as the person affected by the Demonic Blood Decay used this method within a day and used some medicines, there was an extremely high chance that they would no longer be corroded by the Demonic Blood Decay.
Less than a day after he submitted this method, Daoist Wang came looking for him. He said, "Mister Tao, Zhu Zonghu invites you in."
Zhang Yu had already expected this. After making some preparations, he moved to a cabin according to the location that Daoist Wang provided and landed in a suspected military station. Then, he followed a thick and sealed cabin and finally arrived at the interior of a giant flying ship.
Zhu Zonghu was standing there, waiting for him. As he saw Qin Yu arrive, he revealed a polite smile. After bowing, he waved his sleeve and said, "Mister Tao, please sit."
Zhang Yu sat down in the guest seat. Zhu Zonghu also sat down. As for Daoist Wang, he stood at his side.
Zhu Zonghu sat there, his posture ramrod straight. He said, "Mister Tao's method of protecting is extremely brilliant. You were even able to resolve that thorny Blood Decay. I truly admire you."
He lifted a hand and took out a jade box. "I heard that Mister Tao is collecting ancient items. I happened to obtain this by chance, so I will give it to Mister Tao."
Zhang Yu swept his eyes over it. This thing wasn't simple at all. He couldn't see through it at first glance; it was likely that there was an extremely powerful sealing technique placed on it. He said, "Thank you, Zonghu."
Zhu Zonghu smiled and said, "Mister Tao, I have many matters to attend to and I only managed to find some time to come here today. I will be leaving soon, so I don't have much time to talk to Mister Tao. However, there is an important matter that I had to urgently call Mister Tao here. I hope Mister Tao can forgive me."
Zhang Yu said, "Zhu Zonghu's words are too serious. What questions does Zhu Zonghu have?"
Zhu Zonghu said, "I won't hide it from Mister Tao. I have an elder who contracted a strange illness last year. I have invited many experts and used various methods, but there hasn't been any improvement until now. It is suspected to be the work of a Daoist cultivator. Therefore, I would like to consult Mister Tao to see if there is a way to treat it."
Zhang Yu understood. This was probably the reason why this person valued him, or perhaps this was his goal from the beginning.
As for that evil demonic technique, this person probably didn't care, or perhaps it was just a test. Only when Mister Tao truly resolved this problem would he be able to talk about this matter further.
He said, "Zhu Zonghu, can you describe the symptoms?"
Zhu Zonghu said apologetically, "Mister Tao, that elder's identity is very important. For the sake of this elder's safety, I would like to ask Mister Tao to sign this letter." As he spoke, a follower placed a long scroll in front of him.
Zhang Yu glanced at it. Just by looking at the spiritual radiance on it, he knew that this was the contract of this world.
However, this thing didn't bind him at all. Not to mention this thing, even the turbid tide that affected the entire world of Daoism didn't have much of an effect on a Daoist cultivator of his realm.
He took the brush from the follower's hand and wrote down the words' Tao Sheng '.
Daoist Wang saw him finish writing and picked up the letter. After looking over it, he nodded at Zhu Zonghu.
It was useless to use a fake name. The contract only recognized the person who wrote it. No matter what you wrote, it was the same. Even if you drew a circle, it was fine.
Zhu Zonghu gestured again. The follower behind him brought out a scroll and carefully placed it on the table. He said, "Mister Tao, please take a look. This is the record of my elder's kindness."
Zhang Yu didn't touch it. With a wave of his sleeve, the record rolled and slowly unfurled on the table. On top of it was a combination of spiritual images and words, displaying the detailed situation of the patient in front of him.
There was no need to mention the technique used in this scroll. The spiritual strength used was extremely high, but it should have come from the hands of some high level Creator.
After looking through it, the moment he drew back his gaze, the scroll erupted with a spiritual radiance on its own. In just several breaths of time, it turned into a pile of ashes.
He didn't care. After looking through it just now, he could already see how this person was infected. He looked up at Zhu Zonghu and said, "Zhu Zonghu, this elder seems to have been afflicted with a curse technique."
"Oh?"
Zhu Zonghu's expression didn't change, but there was a subtle change in his eyes. Daoist Wang couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu.
At this time, Zhu Zonghu leaned forward, a bit hesitant. He said, "Curse technique? Mister Tao, please tell me, what kind of curse technique is it? Can it be cured? "
Zhang Yu lightly said, "You need to write it down. You can't speak of the curse technique directly, otherwise Zhu Zonghu's elder who was afflicted with the curse might be harmed."
Zhu Zonghu's heart chilled. He immediately ordered his follower to pass a brush and paper to Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu took the brush and began to write. After a moment, he finished writing. Daoist Wang took a look and nodded to Zhu Zonghu. He said with certainty, "Zonghu, Mister Tao's words have substance. At the very least, they can convince me."
Zhu Zonghu had complete faith in Daoist Wang. Hearing him say this, his spirits were immediately lifted. He stared at Zhang Yu and said, "Mister Tao, can you cure it?"
Zhang Yu didn't immediately reply.
Zhu Zonghu looked at him and said with a bit of urgency, "Mister Tao, this elder is important to me, extremely important. No matter what the price is, I am willing to pay it."
