Xiuxian: I have an inventory

The news that True Man Blood Crow had died caused a huge shock in Liyang Immortal City.

It is even worse than the demise of the Song family.

Because True Man Blood Crow came here almost at the beginning of the founding of Li Yang Fairy City, and he also has a good relationship with True Man Li Yang. He has existed longer than the Song family.

Moreover, he is a true Jindan Zhenren.

Over the years, many of the top ten families in Liyang Fairy City have changed, but this is the first time that a Jindan Zhenren has been killed!

Of course, the fact that Master Li Yang had broken through to the middle stage of the Jindan stage had not yet become an open secret, and very few people knew about it.

Otherwise, the waves caused will be even bigger!

As to why True Man Blood Crow was killed and by whom, various speculations have been rife, and there are many versions circulating among the people.

Some people guessed the correct answer, for example, this matter was related to Xiao Changqing, and it originated from the fact that He Yuan, the ignorant nephew of Blood Crow, had offended Xiao Changqing...

But more people still think that this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Changqing.

The reason is very simple. Even though Xiao Changqing is a genius in the Foundation Establishment Stage and has a great chance of successfully forming a pill in the future, his influence in Liyang Immortal City is still too small, and it is not enough to move to the Song family and True Man Xue Ya.

The most important thing is that Xiao Changqing could not kill a Jindan Zhenren.

Therefore, most people believe that it was Master Li Yang who personally killed Master Xue Ya.

As for the reason for doing so, it is most likely related to the collusion between the Song Family and the Puppet Evil King announced by Li Yangwei.

The Song family and True Man Blood Crow are allies and are in the same boat. It is impossible for True Man Blood Crow to be unaware of the evil deeds of the Song family.

What's more, Master Blood Crow has never had a good reputation.

The reason why True Man Blood Crow surrendered to Li Yang Immortal City was not because he had a very good relationship with True Man Li Yang and wanted to help build Li Yang Immortal City, but because he had many enemies, and although they were not robbery cultivators, they were not much better either.

Later, he even offended a real person in the middle stage of Jindan and was hunted down.

It was he who sought refuge under the tutelage of Master Li Yang, who happened to be building a city at the time and needed help. Also, because of their past friendship, Master Li Yang stepped forward to mediate for him.

After settling down in Liyang Immortal City, with the help of Liyang Immortal to suppress the people, Immortal Xue Ya became much more disciplined and no longer acted as recklessly as before. The dirty things he did in secret were no secret among the high-level officials in Liyang Immortal City.

such as.

The bloodbath of Zhu Youlong's master's sect was just one of his evil deeds.

Therefore, although the lower-level cultivators were shocked by the death of True Man Blood Crow, no one stood up for him and many even applauded secretly.

As for the high-level monks in the Immortal City, they are more concerned about plundering interests.

It is certainly worth being happy that the evil people in the world of immortal cultivation have been eliminated, but one's own interests are of paramount importance!

The Song family and True Man Blood Crow both controlled most of the business in several industrial chains in Liyang Fairy City before. The profits from them would be a terrifying number that even Jindan cultivators would be jealous of.

Now that the Song family has been expelled and True Man Blood Crow has passed away, these industries are now vacant.

Who will take over?

The other nine families among the top ten families will definitely snatch most of it!
As for how to snatch and how to divide it, it naturally depends on who is stronger and who has a stronger backing!
Also, Liyang Fairy City has been one of the top ten families for the past hundred years. Now that the Song family has been removed from the list, which family can fill the spot?

Apart from the ten major families in Liyang Immortal City, there are countless foundation-building families, more than three digits!
Among them, there are several candidates who are qualified to compete for the top ten families.

As long as one can find the support of one of the 'Seven Heroes of Li Yang', or find a fake Dan or a Jindan Zhenren to rely on, then there will be great hope.

Therefore, in the next one or two months, ordinary cultivators may not be able to sense anything and will not feel any obvious changes, but among the high-level officials of Liyang Immortal City, there will be turbulent situation, and the invisible places will be filled with swords and sabers.

……

……

Jinxiufang.

Gu Zongyuan came here in person this time.

"Brother Bai, these are the materials you asked for. It cost a total of 47,000 low-grade spirit stones." Gu Zongyuan threw a storage bag to Xiao Changqing.

Xiao Changqing took it, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

The materials required to make a third-order puppet are finally available.

The materials were more expensive than Xiao Changqing had imagined. He originally thought that the materials for making the third-level puppet, the Big-Headed Puppet Evil King, had already been prepared, and the rest would only require at most 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.

I didn't expect it to cost 47,000.

It seems that the cost of creating a third-level puppet is tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, Xiao Changqing didn't care about these few spirit stones. He was very satisfied as long as he could buy them.

That is to say, in the Liyang Fairy City with abundant resources, if you go to a smaller place, you cannot buy these precious and rare high-level materials even if you have money.

"Give."

Xiao Changqing quickly threw back the storage bag full of spirit stones.

Gu Zongyuan took it without counting it and put it away directly, "I won't be polite with you. You are a nouveau riche, and I have many more places to use spiritual stones."

Xiao Changqing said: "If you don't accept it, I won't dare to ask you to buy things for me next time."

Even brothers should settle accounts clearly, let alone friends.

I asked someone to help me purchase materials. It would be fine if I didn't give any kickbacks, but how could I not pay?

"By the way. Why did you buy these high-level materials? Are you planning to hire someone to refine magical tools or something? Could it be that... you really want to learn how to refine puppets?" Gu Zongyuan remembered that the last time he went out of the city to hunt down the Puppet Evil King, Xiao Changqing had mentioned it at the time, and he happened to be quite interested in the way of puppets.

"It's always good to learn more skills." Xiao Changqing naturally would not tell the other party that he was already a third-rank intermediate-grade puppeteer, directly surpassing the Puppet Evil King's decades of accumulation, and was considered a rare existence in today's Dayu immortal cultivation world.

"Okay, maybe you are also a genius in puppets..." Gu Zongyuan shook his head with amusement.

Xiao Changqing didn't say anything more, and asked, "You came here in person today just to help me deliver the materials? Nothing else?"

"Yes, there is one more thing." Gu Zongyuan's expression became serious when he heard it, and he lowered his voice and said: "Brother Bai, are you interested in supporting a force of your own in Liyang Immortal City? In other words, among the current ten major families, which one do you support? Um... the ones that are at the bottom." Then, Gu Zongyuan roughly described the current situation in Liyang Immortal City.

The Song family, one of the top ten families, was destroyed, leaving a vacant position and a lot of benefits.

In addition to some of it being divided up by the other nine families, there is still a large portion that is currently being temporarily controlled by the City Lord's Mansion, and other families are not allowed to dig it all away.

The number of the top ten families in Liyang Xiancheng has remained the same for so many years. In fact, it is not due to the "market rules", but the City Lord's Mansion fanning the flames and doing it intentionally.

The City Lord's Mansion has no objection to the ten major families competing with each other and squeezing each other.

However, we will never allow a "unicorn" to appear among the top ten families.

For example, only five of the top ten families remain, or a giant appears among the top ten families, which is bigger than the other nine families combined...

This is not allowed by the City Lord's Mansion.

It’s not that the City Lord’s Mansion is afraid that some family power will become too powerful to be controlled and become the master, surpassing the prestige of the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the world of cultivating immortals, cultivation and strength are the truth of everything.

As long as Master Li Yang is here, no force or family can grow beyond the City Lord's Mansion.

The reason why the City Lord's Mansion practices the "Great Balance Technique" is because Liyang Immortal City is a city of independent cultivators, and all aspects are relatively fair and just. If a unicorn appears and monopolizes too many industries, it will greatly affect the operation of Liyang Immortal City and become deformed.

Therefore, after the Song family is destroyed, there will definitely be a new foundation-building family to replace it.

The order of the original ten major families can also be shifted.

The Song family was originally ranked in the top three, and with the addition of True Man Blood Crow, such a huge benefit is not something a new and weak foundation-building family can fully take in, so a large part must be given to the other ten major families.

But how to do it depends on which family the City Lord's Mansion wants to support.

For those who are already at the top, such as the Lei family, the strongest family that is already ranked first, the City Lord’s Mansion will not allow them to continue to grow.

As for the Beast Taming Liu Family, based on the previous relationship between the Liu Family and Gu Zongyuan, the Liu Family should have been able to take this opportunity to expand and take a step forward to become the second only to the Lei Family.

But... during the encirclement and suppression of the Puppet Evil King, the head of the Liu family decisively escaped. Although it was Gu Zongyuan's suggestion, Gu Zongyuan did not hold the head of the Liu family responsible afterwards.

After all, this incident left a small grudge in the hearts of both parties.

Just like after the Song family went bankrupt, with so much profit left over, the Liu family didn't dare to find Gu Zongyuan and ask him to take care of some of the profits.

In this case, Gu Zongyuan would naturally not take the initiative to find the Liu family.

"That's it..."

After listening to this, Xiao Changqing seemed to be thinking about something.

Faced with a channel to earn spirit stones, or even an opportunity to just sit back and collect money, Xiao Changqing would not despise or refuse.

Money, Dharma, companion, land, no matter what realm you are in on the path of cultivating immortals, you need spirit stones.

Even if Xiao Changqing has enough spirit stones at the moment, he would never think it is too much.

Just like the ten major families in Liyang Xiancheng now, there are more or less fake Dan and Jindan Zhenren behind them.

With Xiao Changqing's current strength, he is fully qualified to be one of the people behind the scenes.

The problem is that Xiao Changqing only has the Lin sisters around him, and no one else is available.

Among the Lin sisters, the elder sister Lin Ziyu is not suitable to take care of these things, but the younger sister Lin Zixi is more suitable and is better at it.

But now Lin Zixi's cultivation level is still at the eighth level of Qi Refining, which is too low.

Even if Lin Ziyu is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is still too low.

Unless these two sisters can successfully build a foundation one day, they will be able to take on this important task.

If there is no suitable candidate, we can only give up this opportunity temporarily.

It would be troublesome to seek support from a strange family.

However, Xiao Changqing suddenly had an idea and thought of Jiang Jiuyue and Mu Chunfeng, as well as the Jiang and Mu families behind them.

The Jiang family is one of the top ten families, but it is the one with the least experience and the lowest ranking, which meets the criteria for support from the City Lord's Mansion this time.

As for the Mu family, it is an inconspicuous foundation-building family in Liyang Immortal City. The strongest person in the family is only in the middle stage of foundation-building.

Even if Xiao Changqing wanted to support the Mu family, he probably wouldn't be able to do so.

To be listed among the top ten families, in addition to having a strong backer, one's own strength cannot be too weak.

Even if there are no cultivators who have completed their foundation building, there must be cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, as well as more cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building, otherwise the plate will not be able to be supported.

"Brother Gu, if possible, please give some of the Song family's profits to the Jiang family. Yes, the Jiang family, one of the current top ten families, which is known for its talisman business." Xiao Changqing said after thinking for a while.

If he supports the Jiang family, Xiao Changqing will not plan to collect any share of the profits.

It just so happened that this was a repayment for the kindness he had received from Manager Hong when he was at his weakest in Nanshanfang.

Manager Hong not only recognized his potential but also helped him to put his golden finger to good use, helping him escape from the most impoverished life.

Later, Shopkeeper Hong took care of him many times, such as giving him a talisman pen, giving him an amulet for fear that he might be in danger, etc.

Xiao Changqing always remembers this kindness in his heart.

Now that he has the chance to repay, he won't be stingy.

Perhaps in terms of spirit stones, the benefits he now easily obtains for the Jiang family are more than a hundred times more valuable than the talisman pens and talismans given to him at the beginning.

But in terms of friendship, it is much lighter.

After all, providing timely assistance and adding icing on the cake are two completely different things.

"Give it to the Jiang family? Of course there is no problem with that. The Jiang family is currently the weakest of the ten major families, and their family leader Jiang Canghai also followed my senior brother to the battlefield in the southwest to fight against the evil cultivators. It makes sense to support the Jiang family." Gu Zongyuan nodded, "But, Brother Gu, why did you think of helping the Jiang family? Do you have any friendship with the Jiang family before?"
