The weather in June and July was scorching hot. Even though there were three large rivers nearby, and the water vapor was abundant, the green trees and shrubs near the Three River Valley were all withered under the scorching sun, and their branches and leaves drooped listlessly.
What was different from this was the endless stream of martial artists that came and went on the road that had just been widened. Or rather, they were all martial artists that were heading straight for the Three River Valley.
These martial artists came in groups, and they often wore the same clothes. Their eyes shone brightly, and it was clear that their cultivation was not ordinary.
"Hurry up and get to Three River City. I heard that the houses in Three River City are not only as expensive as crystals, but even with the Reiki, we may not be able to get a room. If we are late, we will have to sleep in the open." A martial artist that looked like the head of a family wiped the sweat from his forehead and urged.
Even with his cultivation as a Star Monarch, he still felt a little stuffy after being under the scorching sun for more than an hour.
Hearing the orders of the family head, the martial artists that came with him all responded. Only a young man that looked a little young frowned and complained, "Father, what kind of rule is this place? They actually don't allow us to fly beyond ten miles. It is clearly a distance that can be reached in less than a hundred breaths, but we have to walk for an incense stick's time. This is too much … "
"Slap!"
Before the young master could finish complaining, the family head raised his hand and slapped the young master with a furious expression. Immediately, a dark green palm print was left on the young master's face. When a stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, the young master's gaze towards his father was suddenly filled with a hint of fear.
"Unfilial son, if you continue to speak like this, I will immediately send your second brother over. If you still don't know how to restrain yourself, you will only cause trouble when you enter that place. You will waste this precious opportunity for nothing! "
The more the family head spoke, the angrier he became. "Do you know where this place is? This is the place where Palace Master Ling of the Long An Star Palace, who has just replaced the Star Luo Palace, is staying! You might not know about the Star Luo Divine Palace, but even the insufferably arrogant Ying Family of the Chang Province was annihilated. Not to mention the Long An Star Palace forbids flying for ten miles, even if it forbids flying for a hundred miles, you'd better shut up and walk obediently … "
Just as he was about to continue lecturing, another group of about ten people came from not too far away. The Patriarch hurriedly lowered his voice and began to move forward quickly. However, as he moved forward, he stayed by the side of the young master who was being beaten. He lowered his voice and lectured him fiercely again until the young master's eyes revealed fear as he looked at the majestic palace in the distance. Only then did the Patriarch stop.
However, to their disappointment, when they arrived at the periphery of Dragon Peace Star Palace, in the Three River Valley where construction was being carried out, all of the newly constructed large inns were fully booked. The rest of the inns were filled with low-level cultivators who were busy with construction, but there was no place for them to stay, so they could only find a place to camp.
The current Three River Valley should be called the Three River Plain. The originally dense forest had all been cut down and flattened into flat land. Rows of inns and merchants rose from the ground, surrounding and guarding the tall and mighty Long An Star Palace. Under the scorching sun, the words' Long An Star Palace 'sparkled there.
In front of a row of three-story pavilions that were about to be completed, four figures were standing there.
"City Lord Gao, I have to thank you for this. This small building will be completed tomorrow, and my family's ancestral restaurant will be able to open for business again." Bai Jiu 'er, who had not seen Gao Yuan for a long time, thanked him with a smile.
Hearing City Lord Gao's address, Gao Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. Just as he was about to say something, Bai Jiu 'er's husband, Buck-toothed Mad Blade, shouted at the top of his voice. "What are you talking about, Boss? Even if Brother Yuan is the City Lord, he's still Brother Yuan. Even if you don't feel uncomfortable calling him City Lord, I feel uncomfortable hearing it. "
"That's right, that's right! Brother Bai Jiu, if you continue to call me that, don't blame me for asking the Young Master to reward you with two beautiful maids … "
Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Bai Jiu 'er immediately panicked. She hurriedly waved her hand. "Don't, don't, don't. Brother Yuan, please have mercy …"
Without waiting for Bai Jiu 'er to speak, Buck-toothed Mad Blade glared. Two curved blades suddenly appeared at his waist. He glared with his almond-shaped eyes and said, "He dares to accept it!"
This made Cheng Daniu and Gao Yuan laugh at the same time. While chatting and laughing, Cheng Daniu felt that it was a pity. "It's a pity that we don't have enough time. If we had more time, we would be able to earn a million Reiki for the Ling family from this event alone. There are so many pieces of land, but they haven't been built yet! "
"Alright, our Chief Steward Cheng has earned enough for the past few days! Even if many pieces of land haven't been built, just the income from selling the land is already an astronomical figure. Didn't you see that in the Long 'an Boundary, no matter how big or small the factions are, they all want to buy a piece of land around the Long' an Star Palace?
I remember that just the Tenmu Temple alone bought five thousand mu of land. The land here sold for ten thousand mid-grade Reiki per mu. Five thousand mu, that's fifty million mid-grade Reiki and five hundred thousand high-grade Reiki, "Gao Yuan said.
As the entire Ling family moved to the Long 'an Star Palace, only leaving the Ling family castle as a farmstead, Ling Dong mysteriously raised the underground spirit vein in the Three River Valley to a rare supreme-grade spirit vein. The land price around the Long' an Star Palace soared crazily.
Even if the supreme-grade spirit vein could only affect the area within a hundred miles of the Long 'an Star Palace, there were more than ten second-grade spirit veins of various sizes in the surroundings. In addition to the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi radiating from them, it also turned the surroundings of the Long' an Star Palace into a first-class cultivation spot.
Of course, other than this, there was also a certain political factor. That was, Ling Dong and the Long 'an Star Palace had taken root here. It could be foreseen that this place would become the center of the entire Long' an Boundary in the future.
Those old fellows, who didn't have an eye for investment? They all looked for Ling Dong to buy some land nearby. This place was originally ownerless, but since everyone wanted to buy from Ling Dong, Ling Dong wouldn't reject this benefit.
After some consideration, Ling Dong decided to build Three River City with the Long 'an Star Palace as the center. Within Three River City, he would build a city within a city, which would be the Long' an Star Palace. In Ling Dong's mind, this place would become the holy land of the entire Long 'an Boundary in the future, the Long' an Holy Land!
Since he was going to build Three River City, there was no doubt that this city had to be managed and planned by someone. Ling Dong remembered that Gao Yuan had saved his life in his previous life in a bloody state. Now that he was so loyal and devoted, he might as well let Gao Yuan take charge of the City Lord of Three River City. That was why he had the current title of City Lord Gao.
Of course, in Ling Dong's plan, this Three River City was related to his big plan. Hence, he instructed Gao Yuan to leave one-third of the Earth City in Three River City as the property of the Ling family. The other two-thirds would be sold to the various big families.
This could also be considered as a disguised form of balance for Ling Dong. Rain and dew would be shared equally, and many people would gather firewood to make the fire stronger.
"But … But there's no harm in earning more Reiki. Moreover, according to Young Master's rewards and punishments, the more we earn, the more Young Master will reward us with Reiki." Cheng Daniu still felt a little heartache.
Gao Yuan's expression changed, but he said solemnly to Cheng Daniu, "Daniu, have you forgotten what Young Master always says to us? No matter what you do, you can only be happy when you're content!"
Hearing this, Cheng Daniu's body trembled. In the past, he was beaten and scolded by others. Today, he was a lord in front of others and had a beautiful wife and concubines. What was there for him to be dissatisfied with?
"Brother Yuan, many thanks!" Cheng Daniu gave Gao Yuan a sincere smile. Then, he said as he walked, "Brother Yuan, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to get busy. I still need to worry about the chairs, fruits, and snacks for tomorrow's summit meeting."
Not long after Cheng Daniu walked away, Gao Yuan, the newly appointed City Lord, was also surrounded by a few small family heads who had just arrived. They fought to buy some land.
In this day and age, no one was stupid. The Ling family was currently selling land for 10,000 mid-grade Reiki per mu. Everyone knew that as long as they bought it now, the value of the land here would definitely increase crazily in the future.
However, after buying this land, the person who sold this land in Three River City would be a fool. As long as they did some construction, the land they bought would be a land that could lay golden eggs.
The outside of Long An Star Palace was bustling with activity, and so was the inside of Long An Star Palace. Especially Ling Dong. He had just finished meeting with a few family heads who had lost a few half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods. His face was filled with fatigue.
After careful consideration, Ling Dong accepted those half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox God families who had worked for the Star Luo Temple again. Ling Dong could be considered as ruthless and merciless. He could kill the Ying family who had no room for negotiation with the Ling family. However, he could not do that to the dozens of other families who used to be part of the Star Luo Temple.
One had to know that those families had millions of disciples, not including the servants and servants. If the servants and servants were included, there would definitely be more than ten million of them.
It was simple to accept them. The four half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods who had escaped all swore a Divine Soul Oath and were implanted with Soul Slaying Nails. Moreover, their treatment was much worse than the half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods. They also had to pay a large amount of Reiki and treasures to atone for their sins.
The other families who had lost their half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods were also dealt with in the same way. All of them had to pay more than half of their family's wealth in order to avoid disaster.
While the Ling family was instantly filthy rich, those families who had paid a large amount of wealth were secretly glad. After all, they could slowly earn Reiki. If they lost their lives and their families, they would have nothing left.
After sending off the last guest and resting for a while, Ling Dong began to discuss with the Mountain God Yin Kang. "Old man, do you think it's feasible to carry on with this arrangement?"
"Whether it's feasible or not depends on your ability to execute it! Where there's a will, there's a way! "The Mountain God Yin Kang's answer was a little ambiguous.
Hearing this, Ling Dong nodded fiercely. "Yes, where there's a will, there's a way! What the Star Luo Temple can't do doesn't mean that I can't do it! "
"If this matter can be carried out, then your foundation will be greatly improved!" The Mountain God Yin Kang added.
Ling Dong's eyes flashed with a strange light. He clenched his fists tightly. "Then everything will depend on tomorrow! I don't believe that the perfect plan that I've thought of for so long can't be carried out! " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
