The rise of the Yang Clan had touched the nerves of many powers, especially the Xing Clan and Purple Cloud Palace.
They hated seeing the Yang Clan grow stronger, as it meant that they would have another powerful enemy in the future.
However, for the time being, they had no way to annihilate the Yang Clan and stop the rise of the Yang Clan.
Even though they had bribed some of the evil cultivators to cause trouble in the Yang Family City, wanting to ruin the reputation of the Yang Family, it was a pity that the Yang Family had quickly extinguished the trouble before it had time to ferment.
The Yang Clan's overall strength had increased too quickly, and it was too difficult for ordinary people to cause trouble for them.
The trouble caused by these people reminded Yang Wu that he needed to monitor the Yang Clan's territory.
Thus, he called Lu Zhi over.
In the past few years, after Lu Zhi returned from Wudang, he was not in a hurry to return to Wudang Mountain.
He planned to marry Yang Lulu, and once they were married, he would be the son-in-law of the Yang Clan, and could be considered a member of the Yang Clan.
He was talented, but he did not put his mind on cultivation, and instead focused on studying formations, and became friends with Yu Chang 'an.
After Lu Zhi saw Yang Wu, he did not wait for Yang Wu to speak, and said, "My lord, when will you host my wedding with Lulu?"
Yang Wu froze for a moment, then laughed, "So that's why you're here."
"Master has nothing to teach me, I have already comprehended the Tai Chi Dao, and the rest is up to me. I don't want to stay in Wudang forever, and the Yang Clan is in the stage of development, I need a reason to help. Only by betrothing Lulu to me can I be considered a member of the Yang Clan. You see, Brother Pang Yuan is already ahead of me," Lu Zhi replied.
Who would have thought that such a devilish looking guy like Lu Zhi would like the ordinary looking Yang Lulu?
Fate was something that was really hard to guess.
"Alright, I'll preside over the wedding once you've chosen an auspicious time." Yang Wu was also happy for Lu Zhi from the bottom of his heart. This way, he and Lu Zhi would be even closer.
"Thank you, my lord," Lu Zhi said happily. Then he asked, "Why did my lord summon me?"
"I want to set up a surveillance array so that I can see everything that's happening in the Yang Clan's territory." Yang Wu said.
"My Lord, your appetite is really big. As long as there are enough materials, I can make a small scale array formation. However, I can't do a large scale array formation alone." Lu Zhi said awkwardly.
Indeed, he had just reached the Three Star Mark Realm. Even if he could increase his strength by two or three stars in a short period of time, he still wouldn't be able to complete such a large divine formation.
Only if he had reached the Heavenly Arrival Realm would it be possible.
"If you can't do it alone, then ask someone else. There are other Divine Array Masters in the Transcendent Realm. You can ask them to come and help." Yang Wu said. After pausing for a moment, he said, "The Wu Dang Clan should have Divine Array Masters."
"Uh … My master should be a Divine Array Master. However, it won't be easy to ask him to help. At the very least, I don't have that kind of face." Lu Zhi replied after thinking for a moment.
"Your master is really an expert. Not only is he a Divine Alchemist, but he's also a Divine Array Master. If he's also a Divine Weapon Master, then he's omnipotent." Yang Wu praised.
"That's not it. Master said that he doesn't know how to refine weapons."
"Alright, then let's ask your master to come out. You and I will return to the Wu Dang Clan and ask him to come out."
"There's no need to rush. Before that, let's talk about how powerful the surveillance array is. You also need to prepare all kinds of materials. Without those materials, even if he comes, it'll be useless. Also, you can use a Divine Pill to hire one or two Divine Array Masters to come and help."
"That's reasonable. Then let's do that."
…
Lu Zhi listed out a list of materials. Most of them were Holy Materials, and some of them were Divine Materials. Their value was not small, and they needed a huge amount of financial support.
Yang Wu had gone to the Divine Cloud Battlefield and obtained a lot of materials. He could provide some of them, but the rest still needed to be bought.
He looked at the Yang family's treasury and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. There were not many Holy Stones left in the treasury, and even fewer Divine Stones.
The entire family's operation was supported by the treasury. Even if he, as a Divine Alchemist, refined a lot of pills and sold them, the wealth he earned was only enough to cover the expenses.
Yang Wu ordered someone to open the account book. After seeing a pile of expenses, he felt a headache coming.
"Continue to auction the pills." Yang Wu could only take out another batch of pills and give it to the people below to auction.
In addition, he also summoned some elders to work together to develop the business. Making more money was the way to go.
Few of these elders knew how to do business. The original business methods were too old-fashioned, and money came too slowly. Most of them relied on mining in the World of Battles and then trading with other forces to obtain wealth.
In the past few years, the Yang family's investment in the World of Battles had been quite small. Only Yang Hanlin was there. Moreover, he had asked for half of the Xing family's mines, so he needed manpower. It was not easy to replenish the treasury in a short time.
Based on the current situation, it was too difficult for Yang Wu to count on the Yang family to make money.
He couldn't help but wonder where Nangong Xiqin and Ren Xiaofeng had gone. Had they betrayed him and left?
At that moment, Yang Manmi walked out and said, "Family Leader, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it."
"Say it." Yang Wu looked at the charming Yang Manmi.
She was a mature woman, always exuding a charming charm. She had charmed countless people, both inside and outside the family. Countless people had proposed marriage to her, but she had heartlessly rejected them all.
She said, "I just want to give birth to a child for you."
The others were dealt a heavy blow, but they still couldn't stop others from liking her.
Yang Wu found Yang Manmi's burning gaze a little unbearable. She was a woman who ate people up.
"I have some experience in business. Family Leader, please listen to me and see if it's feasible." Once Yang Manmi said that, she said seriously, "I think we can rebuild Dao Verification Mountain. It's the place where you became the first Divine Apothecary. Many people go there one after another to pay their respects. They hope that they can feel what it's like when you become a Divine Apothecary. Once it's rebuilt, we can send soldiers to guard it. Anyone who wants to pay their respects to Dao Verification Mountain can do so as long as they pay. Also, we can carve some of the things you did in your early years on Dao Verification Mountain and turn it into a place of historical interest."
"You can only earn a small amount of money like that, right?" an elder asked.
"No. Countless people go to Dao Verification Mountain every day. If we add up the small amount of money each person earns, we can earn the same amount as if we auction off a Sacred Core every day."
"It's impossible to earn that much money."
"That's right. It's impossible for a place of historical interest to attract so many people."
"Don't argue. Let Manmi finish," Yang Wu said as he pressed his hands together.
Yang Manmi then said, "Everyone who enters Dao Verification Mountain will receive one Sacred Stone. There are at least one hundred thousand people who come to observe it every day, so that's the same as one hundred thousand Sacred Stones. Do you think that paying one Sacred Stone is very expensive? "Actually, that's not the case. There are plenty of people who will pay one hundred high-grade Mystic Stones to enter the city, and our family leader is the youngest Divine Apothecary in history. He left behind the presence of his Dao Verification Mountain. If anyone can understand it, they might not be able to become a Divine Apothecary, but they can definitely become a Saint Apothecary."
The group was not stupid. When they heard Yang Manmi say it so clearly, they instantly understood what she wanted to do.
He wanted to use Yang Wu's name to sell a boo-boo to everyone.
It was just like Shaolin Temple. It was said to be a holy land for Buddhists, and many believers went there to worship Buddha. The fee for each person to worship Buddha was not high, but there was an endless stream of people coming in every day. Their income alone was already comparable to the income of many people from doing business.
Pang Yuan was the first to agree. "Elder Manmi's suggestion is very good. I think it's feasible."
Another person thought about it and said, "It's feasible, but it would be best if the family leader left behind some authentic writings."
"Not bad, not bad. Not only was the family leader a Divine Apothecary, he was also an Invincible Emperor. These are all necessary elements for a historical site. We can turn Dao Verification Mountain into the family leader's first Dao Verification Mountain, and more people will come to pay their respects."
"That's a great idea. Manmi, you're really smart."
Everyone's opinion changed, and they began to support Yang Manmi's suggestion.
Yang Wu also thought that it was feasible, so he waved his hand and agreed to Yang Manmi's suggestion.
Then, Yang Manmi suggested that they build the largest herb trading ground in the War Race around the Apothecaries Alliance's branch. Not only would they trade with the War Race, they would also trade with all parts of the Transcendent World. Even if they did not want to build a Cauldron City, it would definitely not be a problem to build a Small Cauldron City or Small Herb City.
Aside from that, she also had some unique suggestions that caused everyone's eyes to light up.
If they carried out her suggestions, the Yang family would definitely be able to gather a lot of wealth within a short period of time.
Yang Wu agreed to all of her suggestions without hesitation. He also appointed Yang Manmi as the chief elder of the trading firm and told her to do her best to gather wealth for the Yang family.
No one else dared to object.
Yang Manmi accepted the order happily, but she did not forget to throw a few flirtatious glances at Yang Wu. Her feelings were clear to see.
Yang Wu suppressed his anger and cursed in his heart. 'If this continues, someone's going to die.'
His self-control had always been outstanding, but Yang Manmi had an innate talent in charming people, and she had expressed her love for him without holding anything back. It had not been easy for him to hold himself back until now.
There were also some elders in the clan who suggested that Yang Wu and Yang Manmi give birth to a child so that he would definitely become the strongest child in the clan.
Even his great-grandmother, Gong Silan, had said the same thing. "Manmi was born with a Meridian Replenishing Body. Her greatest task in life is to give birth to the strongest child for our clan, and you have an Atavistic Body. The child you give birth to with her will definitely be the strongest."
Yang Wu did not know how to respond to this.
He had many women, and if he kept Wan Lanxin by his side, she would probably be the first to disagree. And he really did not have any improper thoughts about Yang Manmi.
Yang Wu shook off these thoughts. Just as he was preparing to deal with other matters, someone suddenly came to report, "Clan Elder, Mount Heng Sect's Wang Yuyang has an urgent matter and wishes to see you."
"Quickly invite him in," Yang Wu immediately replied.
"Clan Elder Yang Wu, you … you should quickly save the young miss."
