There was a brief silence among the monks in the Yan family's meeting room.
"Yan Chunxiu, what do you mean by this?"
Yan Bingkun stood up and spoke to the people in the main vein.
Yan Chunxiu looked calm and composed. He slowly picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip, and spoke slowly.
"What else can it mean? Aren't you worried that there won't be enough spirit crystals, and something unexpected will happen when you buy the golden elixir? Patriarch, am I wrong in thinking this?"
He did not look at Yan Bingkun. In his eyes, there was only Yan Chengxiao, who relied on his talent and the help of a Jindan ancestor from another family to get the position of head of the family.
"What Junxiu said makes sense. What do you think?"
Yan Chunxiu knew that his suggestion would definitely be recognized by Yan Chengxiao. The main vein now controlled many important positions and needed the help of the cultivators of the main vein.
He also knew that this was his last chance. If Yan Chengxiao really became a golden elixir, their main lineage would most likely become a side branch.
The rights and interests of the main vein will be lost in his hands.
The reason why the Yan family had such disputes between the master and the subordinates was actually because there was a problem with the ancestor from the main line.
Originally, if the main lineage could produce another Jindan after a few generations, this situation would not have occurred. Unfortunately, none of the main lineages of these generations could become Jindan, either because of lack of talent or because of some accidents.
The ancestor who came from the main lineage could have held on a little longer, at least until Yan Chunxiu took over as the patriarch. Unfortunately, the ancestor encountered a robbery cultivator on the way when he was taking the patriarch to purchase cultivation resources.
This resulted in the loss of the main vein’s greatest support.
The Yan family also has a Jindan ancestor, but that Jindan struggles to maintain the Yan family's status.
That Jindan was from an outsider family. He was the Taoist companion of a foundation-building cultivator from the Yan family. He had the chance and luckily broke through to the Jindan stage.
The cultivators of the main line of the Yan family have always been a little dissatisfied with that person. After all, if you get an opportunity, you should hand it over to the family. How can you enjoy it yourself?
However, since he had become a golden elixir, they had no other options, but they still did not have much respect for him.
This laid the groundwork for Yan Chengxiao to rise to power.
When the main line ancestor and the head of the family met with accidents, this relatively marginal Jindan became the most important person in the Yan family.
Years of accumulated resentment made her choose Yan Chengxiao. His daughter Yan Runing was also a factor. Yan Runing was sent to the side of the golden elixir as a maid since she was a child. Later, she showed some talent in cultivation, and the golden elixir also taught Yan Runing a lot.
Compared to the main vein, the branch vein is closer.
"There are a few small islands outside our family. They are useless and would be a pity to abandon them. It just so happens that the Xu family on Fenglan Island has some needs, so why not sell them to them?"
Yan Chengxiao sensed Yan Chunxiu's sinister intentions, which were asking outsiders to interfere in family affairs.
The Xu family is so cruel that they have long wanted to annex the Yan family.
When they were at the two Jindan level, they just had ideas.
There is only one Jindan in the family now, and they have begun to test him.
He came to propose marriage three times, hoping to marry Yan Runing.
The dowry is several small islands around it.
He also thought about letting Yan Runing marry him in exchange for a brief period of peace.
But the ancestor was right, they were testing the Yan family's bottom line. If they took a step back, they would dare to take two steps forward.
If you give in one step, you must give in every step.
Instead of this, it is better to be tougher. After all, the Yan family has been making talismans for generations with the help of unique conditions, and they dare not say whether the Yan family has any powerful trump cards.
However, although he knew it and was very angry about Yan Chunxiu's collusion with outsiders, he couldn't do much now.
The main meridian is deeply rooted, and he can only wait for his golden elixir to be completed.
He planned to buy the golden elixir and not return to the family, but to break through directly on Guanlu Island. Then he would return to the family with the power of the golden elixir and sweep away the haze.
"Okay, but these islands are still useful. If we sell them to just one company, the price might be suppressed. It would be better to send out invitations to everyone and hold an auction."
Yan Chunxiu had a mocking look on his face but was still struggling in vain.
"Then do as the head of the family wishes. By the way, I heard that the Xu family has proposed marriage several times. Maybe they will bring it up again this time when they come to buy the island."
"Pa" Yan Bingkun slammed the table heavily, "Yan Chunxiu, what do you mean?"
Yan Chunxiu stood up, walked out slowly, waved his hand, and didn't even look at Yan Bingkun.
"Don't think too much. I'm just concerned as an elder. After all, it's time for Runing to get married."
After Yan Chunxiu walked out, a large number of foundation-building practitioners from the main veins also left.
Looking at the mostly empty hall, Yan Runing's eyes were filled with worry. Her father, the head of the family, was having a really hard time.
Cheng Qian didn't know how long he had been flying over the boundless sea, but he finally saw land.
Where the sea and the sky meet is a small black dot, which should be an archipelago.
He now needed to find a place where there were living people and then confirm his direction.
He randomly found an island, asked someone, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't deviate too much. In this situation where the water and the sky are one color, it is really difficult to have a sense of direction. If he hadn't learned many small spells, he would have been in a difficult situation.
Who knows where he ran off to.
More than ten days later, Cheng Qian, flying at full speed, finally arrived at Cuizhu Island.
His career as a small island owner is about to begin.
Sea breeze, beach, private island.
Fishing, farming, pastoral idyll.
Just thinking about it makes people happy.
After strolling around Cuizhu City, I happened to find out that the Yan family of Cuizhu was preparing to auction off several small islands.
He understands this little trick.
By calling these islands sold, some foundation-building families will devote all their efforts to building the islands and relying on these Jindan families. This will make those families feel a sense of belonging compared to simply renting them.
Similarly, when the time comes to harvest, you can harvest more.
Cheng Qian is not afraid of being harvested. Are you kidding me? He has always been the one harvesting others. How could he be harvested by others?
If he cuts less of those who can be beaten, he will be considered kind-hearted, and they are all his leeks.
Needless to say, those who cannot be defeated will be deceived as much as possible with the clones, and the original body will run away early and cannot be caught at all.
A few days later, the auction prepared by the Yan family began.
One by one, the guests entered the venue specially built by the Yan family in the city with their invitations.
Feeling confident and having a playful attitude, Cheng Qian also came here.
When he saw the invitation letters in the hands of those monks, he patted his forehead.
He randomly picked a monk he liked in the crowd, used a little trick, and brought him to his side.
Gu Shaozi's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. His previous smile was still on his face, but to outsiders, his expression looked a little weird.
He was about to enter with the invitation, but somehow he automatically stepped back, and the people around him seemed to ignore his abnormal behavior.
I couldn't shout or do anything.
Until a hand was placed on his shoulder, and a sense of pressure came from the hand, which he had never seen before. Even the Golden Core did not seem to have this kind of pressure.
He didn't dare to think of anything more.
"Senior...Senior."
"Take me in. I'll buy an island in your name later. Is that not difficult?"
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. It's an honor for our Gu family to work for you, Senior."
At this moment, there was a noise at the door.
A group of monks were arguing and confronting with the monks of the Yan family at the door.
"My Xu family's eldest son has come here in person, is this how your Yan family treats guests?"
"That's right, even if the head of the family doesn't come to greet her in person, Yan Runing should be asked to come out to greet her. Don't you have this little bit of etiquette?"
"Do you look down on our Xu family?"
