Chapter 234 Like Fire
As soon as people sat down, many figures of different shapes appeared in the wide open space, piercing through the night.
Before long, more than thirty figures appeared. Under the transparent moonlight, which was as thin as ice, their faces were resolute and their eyes were filled with bright firelight as they looked up at the three people in different poses on the stands.
When he met the expectant and doubtful eyes of the crowd, Qingheng-jun still smiled gently, even returning their gazes with encouragement and approval.
After a while, seeing that no one else had appeared from where they came from, Qinghengjun, Wen Ruohan, and Nie Changfeng followed their preconceived notions and began to express their wishes to the crowd below the stage.
That night, under the twilight, only those present knew what agreements the two sides reached. Those who had already left were completely unaware of the implications of this scene, only vaguely knowing that in the ten days or so following the Lan Clan Discussion Meeting, the Wen, Lan, and Nie families had successively recruited many new members into their sects.
The exact number of people, their backgrounds, cultivation levels, and talents were unknown to the other families of the immortal sects, but they were wise enough to know that these newly arrived guest elders and disciples of the three families were all outstanding figures who had made a name for themselves at the discussion meeting!
This made them feel a deep sense of resentment, and they hurriedly began to search for other cultivators who were slightly inferior to them in the discussion meeting. They used various means, both soft and hard, to try to bring them into their own families. Among them, the Lanling Jin Clan, which was the most active, fastest and most efficient, was the Lanling Jin Clan, which belonged to the same first-class family as the Lan and Nie families.
Because the current head of the family, Jin Guangshan, is adept at social maneuvering and quite cunning, and has a masterful ability to manipulate people, he is indeed very successful in recruiting talent.
The entire cultivation world is in constant turmoil because of this inexplicable talent war. The three families of Wen, Lan, and Nie, who have benefited the most, have kept a low profile and are quietly reaping the rewards of this victory.
Of course, the three families weren't inactive; on the contrary, they were quite active. Amidst the extreme astonishment, wariness, and resistance of the various sects and the skepticism, joy, and anticipation of independent cultivators, sects, and commoners, the disciples of the three families, following the orders of their respective patriarchs, began to implement their actions step by step in a straightforward, methodical, and orderly manner, seemingly determined to faithfully carry out all the resolutions announced by Qingheng-jun at the symposium several days prior.
This immediately captured the attention of all cultivators, both openly and secretly, as well as the vast majority of ordinary people in the cultivation world. Under such circumstances, the actions of the mortal court and Wei Ying and his group were as swift and rapid as if they had pressed the accelerator button, and the results were quite remarkable!
Recalling the rapid development of Wei Ying and his group after this discussion, Wei Chaoyan and the other onlookers were astonished, marveling that he truly lived up to his reputation as a man who had graduated from the China Advanced Studies Program, having deeply grasped the essence of the terrifying "China Speed".
How should I put it? Let me just pick a few of the most typical parts and describe them in detail.
First, there's Wei Ying's group's approach—
First, go to a new, remote area where no powerful family is stationed, or where the family that is stationed there has very little influence. Spend some time discreetly investigating the local situation.
After obtaining detailed intelligence, Wei Ying and his companions first followed the traditional method of rogue cultivators hunting and exorcising evil spirits at night, making a high-profile move to either deliver or exterminate most of the evil spirits and monsters in the area. Then, amidst the gratitude of the local people, they calmly departed. Immediately following this was Wei Ying's entire display of his spirit-summoning technique.
After a series of operations, the old forces in this territory disappeared in a reasonable way, and a brand-new Xuanmen force was born in a seamless transition.
After the new family was established, they immediately took the initiative to make sweeping changes to the local landscape and customs.
The new stronghold was thus successfully established! And on the surface, it had no connection whatsoever with Wei Ying and his group, nor was it the same as other emerging families!
Perhaps because they had repeated this process so many times and become so familiar with it, by the time late summer of that year, when the leaves had fallen and autumn was approaching, the establishment of bases that sprang up everywhere no longer required Wei Ying and his group to act as the vanguard. Instead, each base, with its own unique characteristics, independently and autonomously formed a ring around the major old families of the Central Plains, establishing themselves rapidly and efficiently like a wildfire. All Wei Ying and his group needed to do was draw the finishing touch talisman in advance to summon the leaders of each region!
At the same time, Qingyan's business empire also took off and entered a period of rapid development!
Secondly, the following spring, the Loose Cultivator Mutual Aid Association, which would one day be famous throughout the world and share the world with aristocratic families, sects, and the imperial dynasty, was also founded in Fuzhou, Fujian, on an ordinary day.
Immediately afterwards, in the summer of the same year, the first and main branch of a chain of merchants that would later sweep the entire cultivation world and dominate the cultivation world by selling magical treasures, talismans, pills, and rare treasures and other resources related to cultivation assistance, was established in Quanzhou, Fujian, facing the Independent Cultivator Mutual Aid Association.
Before the New Year in the same year, thanks to the efficient progress of Wei Ying and his group's actions, the imperial court also vigorously promoted development in various places, and the reforms of the powerful clans led by Qingheng Jun were gradually improving. The entire world of demonic cultivation was revitalized to varying degrees in all aspects, from the economy and people's livelihood to science and technology, education, ideology and culture, political system and social landscape!
In short, its level of world development can be compared with that of the late Qing Dynasty in Chinese history, except that it has the unique system of cultivation with a strong metaphysical flavor and the aristocratic cultivation world derived from it!
