Chapter 565: The Crisis of Xihai City
At this time, in the Chu family's meeting hall, the first elder Chu Qingyun, the second elder Chu Xiongba, the third elder Chu Qiye, the fourth elder and others had all arrived.
In this meeting, except for a few Nascent Soul cultivators who were in seclusion, there were a total of fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators attending the Chu family. Even the cultivators who had not come out of the secret realm for many years came out.
Chu Qingyun projected the rules of Baiyun City's Merit Pavilion into the meeting room and said in a heavy voice:
"I've urgently gathered everyone here today because this matter concerns the future of our Chu family!
These are the Merit Pavilion tasks and redemption rules released by Baiyun City today.
Haha! Look! Even the sound transmission token in my hand is a Wang family sound transmission token.
Because the Wang family's voice transmission token is much easier to use than our Chu family's, they improved the core of the communication formation and replaced it with something called the Nascent Soul Processor.
Hey! It can support tens of thousands of people chatting in a communication array at the same time, and they only sell such a powerful thing for a mere 100 medium-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, this sound transmission token can only be used by the core disciples of the Chu family to train the formation.
This resulted in almost every cultivator in Xihai City who had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage having a Wang family voice transmission token, including the disciples of our Chu family.
Moreover, there is also a Baiyun City online mall in the token. I used to think that this thing was just a publicity stunt.
I didn't expect that trading there would be so convenient. It has led to a serious loss of cultivators in our Xihai City and the decline of business.
In addition, the Wang family had already secretly crossed the Monster Mountain Range and occupied a large area of sea area.
A large amount of cultivation resources were sold at low prices in Baiyun City, so that a large number of cultivators and families from our Xihai City and the surrounding areas migrated to Baiyun City.
As a result, most of the caves in our Xihai City are no longer available for rent. In just over a decade, the price of courtyards for cultivation in the city has dropped by almost half.
Now that Baiyun City has set up this Merit Pavilion, I am afraid that most of the remaining cultivators in Xihai City will run away again.
By then, Xihai City will be half-ruined, and the cultivators of our Chu family will have to do everything by themselves. They are so spoiled, how can they really do anything?
How much time will be lost from this cultivation? What do you think we should do?"
Second Elder Chu Xiongba looked at the exchange items in the Merit Pavilion and suddenly exclaimed:
"What? Even level 4 spirit veins are available for exchange in this Merit Pavilion, and you can even exchange them for Neng Ying Pills?
What was the Wang family trying to do? Wasn't it a tacit agreement among all the big families that the Ningying Pill couldn't be released into the market?
How dare they break this unspoken rule? Aren't they afraid of being attacked by other big families?
How dare you break the rules!"
"Ahem! Second Elder, you just came out of seclusion and don't know the current situation.
The war between humans and demons has begun, and the Human King Sect has begun to encourage and train all human cultivators, whether they are independent cultivators or mortals.
It’s just that the Wang family set the task reward too high. For the same second-level spiritual plant husband, the annual salary they give is ten times that of our Xihai City!
The salaries for other activities such as mining, alchemy and refining are two to five times that of our Xihai City. With such generous treatment, all the cultivators in our Xihai City would run to Baiyun City after seeing it!
No one is mining for us, growing medicinal herbs, and no one is renting our cultivation caves. Where do our Chu family get the resources for cultivation?
How can the thousands of cultivators in my Chu family cultivate? The cultivation resources in our family's inventory will be used up in a hundred years!"
Chu Qingyun said worriedly that everyone had fled to Baiyun City, and the Chu family did have many mineral veins. Should the Chu family members dig them themselves?
There are only a few cultivators in the Chu family. Who can do all these hard work, such as mining, growing spiritual medicine, raising spiritual beasts, refining pills and weapons, etc.?
Xihai City is such a big city that cultivators are needed for various tasks such as formation maintenance and patrolling.
His Chu family took more than 10,000 spirit-gathering beads from the Human King Sect and needed to train 10,000 cultivators for the human race.
Are we going to force these cultivators who have just entered the world of immortal cultivation to mine, plant crops, refine weapons and elixirs?
But their cultivation level is too low, and they can't do anything else except mining.
"How about we also improve the treatment of these independent cultivators?"
A Nascent Soul Realm elder suggested uncertainly.
There was silence in the conference room. After a while, Chu Qingyun said:
"The interests of the entire Chu family have been distributed among the various branches of the family for thousands of years. Unless your branch is willing to give up the benefits and receive less cultivation resources each year!"
This time, no one spoke. The Nascent Soul cultivators present had little hope of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and if their cultivation resources were reduced, there would be even less hope.
Chu Qiye hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Does the Wang family have so many cultivation resources to give them?
The main thing is whether Wang Bin will do as he says. It’s good to say it now, but when the time comes to pay the salaries, he will withhold the salaries of these casual cultivators.
Or maybe he raised the prices of the items in the Merit Pavilion, which in turn reduced the salaries of these independent cultivators."
“How could they not have so many cultivation resources?
Wang Jiaxin occupied a mountain range of monsters covering tens of thousands of miles, where there were too many first to fourth level cultivation resources.
Our Chu family has long estimated that there are at least fifty fourth-level spirit veins in the Monster Mountain Range covering tens of thousands of miles.
It is more than five times that of my entire Chu family, and they also occupy an area of tens of thousands of miles near the sea, which has even more cultivation resources.
Besides, although Wang Bin is keen on marrying a Taoist partner and having children, he has a very good reputation. The cultivators in Baiyun City all know that he keeps his word, at least on the surface.
This is also one of the reasons why Baiyun City has developed so well. He cherishes his reputation so much that these things like withholding cultivation resources from independent cultivators will basically never happen in the Wang family."
Chu Qiye sighed and continued:
"It's a pity that Wang Bin has become so powerful that he has even subdued a turtle demon in the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
He is too powerful. Our Chu family is no match for him.
I learned from the secret agent arranged in the Wang family that he captured more than a dozen dragons the day before yesterday.
Those are Jiaolongs! Each one has the potential to become a Divine Transformation Realm, but unfortunately, my Chu family doesn't have any Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.
As a result, we had to give up the large piece of land that the Human King Sect allocated to us.
Hey! Don’t force what is not destined for you!
It would be useless if we were to share it with them. Our Chu family might not even be able to defeat the dragons in the Monster Mountain Range, let alone capture them!"
Suddenly there was a sigh in the conference room. Everyone knew that the Jiaolong clan had great potential.
In the past, we didn’t dare to capture the Jiaolong clan as spirit pets because we were worried about their revenge. Now that the war between humans and demons has begun, we no longer have these concerns.
It's a pity that God doesn't bless the Chu family! The Chu family is in this period of transition.
Now the Chu family is facing a huge crisis. If the affairs of the Merit Pavilion are not handled properly, this will definitely be the beginning of the Chu family's decline.
"What if the clan leader fails to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"
Suddenly, an elder in the Nascent Soul stage muttered something in a low voice, and this time everyone fell silent again.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is a very high possibility that the clan leader failed to break through to the God Transformation Realm. The previous clan leader died because he failed to break through to the God Transformation Realm.
Once the clan leader failed to break through to the God Transformation Realm, the Chu family did not participate in the war between humans and demons and lost the opportunity to expand.
If the human race wins, then the Chu family...
