Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 644 - 249: Possession

Jianan Temple’s Three Commanderies, he has already made a rough selection, among which, the regions with abundant Spirit Fields and Ore Veins have been pre-screened by the Shen Family.

Some time ago, the Clan Court had also sent him the assessment results of various families under Shen Li’s governance, just waiting for future allocation.

As for the remaining territories, the Shen Family has no intention of managing them and lacks enough manpower.

During this tripartite meeting, he originally planned to give some of these territories to Luoxia Mountain and Celestial Sandalwood Mountain, while gaining favor and securing benefits.

"Since Elder Feng has already discussed this with my third uncle, how much does Celestial Sandalwood Mountain intend to take?"

"Elder Luo, does Luoxia Mountain also need to expand its territories?"

Luo Yao and Old Man Jin exchanged a glance upon hearing this, both seeing the delight in each other’s eyes.

"Please wait for a moment, I will have someone fetch a map." Luo Yao spoke, and a disciple guarding nearby hurriedly brought a map.

"The territory was conquered by the Shen Family, so the Shen Family shall choose first, after which I and Fellow Daoist Jin will discuss the division." Luo Yao said with a light smile.

Years ago, Luoxia Mountain’s investments in the Shen Family had begun to pay off in recent years.

The last time at Fushan Country resulted in seven city walls.

This time, there is even more, and Luo Yao suddenly felt a sense of admiration.

This admiration is naturally directed at Wei Qiuling.

Back then, it was she who strongly advocated for building ties with the Shen Family and tirelessly supported them.

Without her persistence, how could Luoxia Mountain have achieved today’s status?

"Exactly right!"

"Patriarch Shen shall choose first." Old Man Jin agreed with a cheerful tone.

He knew that the Shen Family would certainly pick the most prosperous areas with abundant Spirit Fields and Spirit Ore.

But it didn’t matter.

Celestial Sandalwood Mountain needs blood food; they have vast territories in the Southern Border and aren’t lacking in resources.

Shen Chongming didn’t stand on ceremony with them and directly outlined on the map the places chosen by the Shen Family this time.

"Our Shen Family will take twelve city walls and these Ore Veins and Spirit Fields from the Three Commanderies." He stated.

"In addition, my third uncle specifically instructed to leave a place for Qiyun Valley, so that Elder Pei can rebuild Qiyun Valley in Yangnao Land."

"By then, both Celestial Sandalwood Mountain and Luoxia Mountain will need to offer more care."

Upon hearing this, they both thought of Shen You’s wedding day, when the Elder with a Conical Hat forcibly relocated Pei Zhao and his daughter with supreme power.

Luo Yao couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

Qiyun Valley is fortunate to have Pei Zhao.

If not for his teacher-disciple relationship with the Shen Family, the orthodoxy might have been completely extinguished.

With the Shen Family’s support now, if nothing unexpected happens, Qiyun Valley might have a chance to restore its former glory.

"Since it’s the instruction of Elder Sword Immortal, Patriarch Shen can rest assured." Old Man Jin looked at the map and pointed to a piece of land in the middle of the Three Commanderies, "According to Master Shu, this area is just right for Qiyun Valley."

"Situated in the midst of our three clans’ encirclement, there will be no external threats, and surrounding resources like Spirit Fields and Ore Veins make it suitable for focused development."

Shen Chongming slightly nodded.

That’s what he thought too.

Qiyun Valley currently possesses almost no foundation, so finding a place suitable for peaceful development is of utmost importance.

"As for the remaining area..." Old Man Jin pointed to a large region connected to their Beidi County, looking somewhat awkwardly at Shen Chongming.

Celestial Sandalwood Mountain needs blood food, so the larger the territory, the better.

However he eyed a region that nearly occupies half of the Three Commanderies.

Like this, he feared the Shen Family might find Celestial Sandalwood Mountain excessively greedy.

Meeting his gaze, Shen Chongming smiled lightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Jin should ask Elder Luo about this matter."

"After all, the remaining territories are to be divided between your two clans."

Upon hearing these words, Old Man Jin hurriedly looked at Luo Yao.

But at that moment, Luo Yao frowned slightly.

The region chosen by Old Man Jin did exceed her expectations.

With Qiyun Valley being extinguished, Luoxia Mountain’s Mountain Gate in Qishan is also precarious.

If that area encounters any unfortunate events, then Yangnao Land would be the only foundation for Luoxia Mountain.

Luoxia Mountain needs disciples and to expand in strength.

Superior disciples are hard to find, so there need to be many common people as a foundation for the sect to quickly recover its Primordial Qi.

Seeing Luo Yao’s frowning silence, Just as Old Man Jin was about to speak, Shen Chongming spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, the matter of territory need not be rushed, I happen to have another matter to discuss with you."

"If Celestial Sandalwood Mountain can agree to this matter, then the territory you desire isn’t something that can’t be talked about."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao looked at him with some puzzlement.

While Old Man Jin’s eyes lit up, he urged repeatedly, "Please speak, Patriarch Shen."

Shen Chongming said solemnly, "Celestial Sandalwood Mountain needs blood food, while Luoxia Mountain and my Shen Family need disciples with decent Spirit Root quality."

"What I want to discuss is, from this territory including the counties under Celestial Sandalwood Mountain’s control, in the future, if there are any common people with good Spirit Root in quality, I hope Celestial Sandalwood Mountain can spare them, allowing them to join Luoxia Mountain or the Shen Family."

"Thus, our three clans can truly meet everyone’s needs."

Hearing this, Old Man Jin’s face showed a hint of difficulty.

Blood food with cultivation, versus without, has significant differences.

Under Celestial Sandalwood Mountain’s rule, if all who possess Spirit Roots are picked by the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain, wouldn’t they only receive the most ordinary ones?

Shen Chongming seemed to perceive his thoughts and smiled lightly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jin, rest assured, I’m not asking Celestial Sandalwood Mountain to select all those possessed of Spirit Root."

"For Luoxia Mountain and the Shen Family, only disciples with Middle Grade or above Spirit Roots are worth cultivating."
