The Rise of the Shen Family

Qingyunmen, as one of the three giants that dominate Lingnan, has been a prominent existence in Lingnan for thousands of years.

Back then, when Lingnan was still a wild and uninhabited land, Qing Yunzi, the founder of Qingyunmen, crossed the Hengduan Mountains and came here.

Qing Yunzi who came here, together with a large number of monks who migrated from China, killed all the monsters that had been entrenched in Lingnan for many years.

Then they opened up dozens of states and counties on this land, and began to spread the cultivation civilization here.

And that Qingyunzi also chose a Lingshan blessed land to start a sect and named it "Qingyunmen"!

Since then, Qingyunmen has started its iron-blooded journey of more than 3,000 years on the land of Lingnan!

...

For more than 3,000 years, after the continuous efforts of the ancestors of Qingyunmen, the sect has finally developed into a super sect that dominates Lingnan, and has created a three-point world situation with the Promise Sect and the Sanctuary Alliance!

Today, there are three people in the Qingyun Sect, Jindan Zhenren, nearly a hundred foundation-building cultivators, and thousands of Qi-training cultivators.

Moreover, the territory under its jurisdiction is also very scary. The nine counties of Lingnan exclusively occupy four counties, occupying almost half of the land of Lingnan.

The four counties of Qingyun now refer to Shansheng County at the foot of the Hengduan Mountains, Jiangmin County across the Nujiang River, Linhai County by the boundless sea, and Pingzhou County in the deep hinterland.

And the mountain gate of Qingyunmen is on a fourth-order spiritual vein in Pingzhou County, and it has the entire mountain range for its use!

...

At this time, in the mid-air in the northern part of Pingzhou, Shen Ruiling was driving the Tianhong Sword at a constant speed.

Since he left Yunbifeng, he has been flying for nearly four hours, and he has completely entered the boundary of Pingzhou.

Although this is the second time that Shen Ruiling has stepped into the boundary of Pingzhou, looking at the wealthy scene in front of him, there is still a hint of envy in his eyes.

I saw that there were villages and towns located on the vast expanse of the wilderness, and the criss-crossing avenues closely connected the villages and towns.

On these avenues, groups of caravans carrying goods are slowly moving forward. These fleets are often composed of a dozen or even twenty animal carts, and the carriages are also full of goods.

A wide and turbulent river flows slowly on the surface, like a silver ribbon, shining with dazzling brilliance in the sun.

On these big rivers, large boats of more than ten feet in length wandered among them, and each boat was loaded with goods and slowly drifted downstream.

Everything here is so peaceful and peaceful, and there is a wealth of prosperity everywhere!

"When will Linhai County become like this!"

Standing on the rainbow sword, Shen Ruiling overlooked the territory of more than a thousand miles, and couldn't help but yearn in his heart.

Compared with this place, Linhai County is really a backcountry.

However, there is no way out. Linhai County is the latest county to be established among the four Qingyun counties, and it is also the smallest state county among the four counties.

Whether it is from the densely populated areas of the monks or from the cultivation resources that can be produced, it cannot compete with the other three states and counties.

For example, Jiangmin County is located in the upper reaches of the Nujiang River. It sits on the Nujiang River system and can communicate with the nine counties in Lingnan by waterways. Therefore, it has earned a lot of wealth by convenient shipping.

Not to mention Pingzhou County, as a state and county directly under the jurisdiction of Qingyunmen, it has not been affected by war for thousands of years.

The families here are ancient families that have lasted for thousands of years. With the accumulation of past dynasties, each family has gathered unimaginable wealth.

Even Shansheng County, which is similar in positioning to Linhai County,

Relying on a Hengduan Mountain Range can also obtain a lot of cultivation resources.

However, although Linhai County is close to the boundless sea, the offshore area is already the territory of the Loose Cultivation Alliance. It is easier said than done to get a piece of meat out of its mouth!

...

Standing on the Rainbow Sword, looking at the wealthy scene under his feet, Shen Ruiling went through the development trend of the terrain of the entire Qingyun four counties in his mind.

He deeply discovered that if the family wanted to become rich quickly, it was obviously impossible to stay huddled in Linhai County all the time.

There are only two paths before them now.

The first way is to go east. The family makes every effort to open up the market in Shanghai, relying on the huge number of loose cultivators to obtain benefits, and to take a piece of meat from the mouth of the loose cultivator alliance.

And the second way is to go south, extending the tentacles of the family into Pingzhou, and these families in Pingzhou start trade and obtain benefits by virtue of the prosperous and good environment.

In fact, these two road families are already in action.

In the eastward plan, the family's shop in Shanghai Shangfang has been opened for nearly a hundred years.

But it has always been a small business, and it has not made any big money at all.

Speaking of the southward plan, the patriarch had already started underground trade with the Wang family a few years ago, using the difference in the price of goods between the two places to make money.

But this trade is still only on a small scale, and it does not bring huge benefits to the family.

Therefore, in Shen Ruiling's view, if the family wants to become rich, it must increase investment in these two aspects.

However, as Uncle Six said, these transactions out of Linhai County must be done by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, otherwise it will not be able to shake the scene at all!

But now the Shen family's foundation-building cultivator and sixth uncle are only three people, and he is the only one who can really do things.

The sixth uncle needs to stay in the sect, and the patriarch has to protect the family. He is the only one who can really run around, which is obviously not enough.

Therefore, in order to develop a family, we must first solve the problem of manpower.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruiling thought of Zhao Jie and the fourth brother. In his opinion, Zhao Jie and the two were the foundation-building cultivators that might appear in the family next.

Now, Zhao Jie is already building the foundation, and according to the patriarch's estimate, the probability of success is very high.

And the fourth brother should be preparing to build the foundation now. UU reading www.uukanshu.com should be able to build the foundation in a year or two.

At that time, with the addition of two foundation-building cultivators, the family's industry should be able to spread.

...

In this way, Shen Ruiling made a preliminary plan for the future development of the family on the Spirit Sword alone.

After he was ready to go back this time, he discussed with the patriarch and began to lay the groundwork for these plans.

As the sun went down, Shen Ruiling realized that he had been flying for nearly a day, and it was time to stop and rest for the night.

So, Shen Ruiling controlled the Rainbow Sword under his feet to slowly lower the flying height, and then landed directly on the top of a barren mountain.

After choosing a hidden shelter on this mountain, Shen Ruiling took out the array plate of the [Two Instruments and Four Elephants] in his storage bag.

I saw that he took out the array plate, took out a few array flags from the storage bag, inserted them into the ground one by one according to the array diagram, put in a few spirit stones, and then arranged the array.

Seeing this formed formation, Shen Ruiling felt relieved, sat down with his legs crossed, and began to meditate and rest.

On the night they entered Pingzhou last time, Shen Ruiling's uncle and nephew met a random cultivator who suddenly appeared.

So this time Shen Ruiling made full preparations and arranged the formation in advance, in case there was a sudden danger tonight.

And the hidden illusion and guardian ability of this formation are top-notch in the third-order low-grade formations.

Therefore, Shen Ruiling believes that with the protection of this formation, he should be able to sit back and relax tonight!
