Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Wealthy Companion Dharma Land, these are the four elements of practice.

​​

Among them, the importance of "wealth" to cultivators ranks first.

​​

The importance of "wealth" is not only for a single immortal cultivator, but even more so for a cultivator family and a cultivator sect.

​​

The strength of the Zhou family is not only in terms of population and land, but also in terms of financial income.

​​

There are tens of thousands of spiritual stones in the balance of financial income every year. Such a wealthy and well-rounded family of cultivators will not be able to decline as long as they are not hit by dimensionality reduction from a higher level.

​​

When Zhou Yang left the family, he took away 70-80% of the spirit stones in the family's treasury.

​​

But now, seventeen years have passed, and as many as 250,000 spirit stones have been stored in the Zhou family's treasury. This ability to make money and save money is only given to the Zhou family in the boundless sand and sea cultivation world.

​​

However, given the large financial income of the Zhou family, it is not without worries.

​​

This hidden worry is very simple, that is, with the dozens of monks in the Zhoujia Baiyitang who have practiced the cultivation of immortals and arts year after year, they produce various instruments, magic talismans, and medicinal herbs, and sell them at a small profit but quick turnover. Going out has already made the market in the Chihu Mountain Oasis Cultivation Realm and the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Realm close to saturation.

​​

If it weren't for some minor cultivators' families and many cultivators who had the habit of hoarding magical tools and magic talismans as backup resources, many things might not be available for sale now.

​​

In general, the market is already oversupplied.

​​

The staff of the Zhou family's financial hall have been taught by Zhou Yang for many times, plus the various intelligence information they have come into contact with in charge of finance, they already have a very good macroeconomic knowledge.

​​

Zhou Guangyun talked a lot about the financial worries of the Zhou family, and also gave a lot of solutions that were negotiated by the financial hall.

​​

For example, temporarily reduce the supply of those low-level magical tools, medicinal pills, and magic talismans, hoard them in the warehouse, and then sell them slowly after waiting for the market demand to pick up.

​​

Another example is the expansion of long-distance trade caravans, so that the caravans can take these accumulated things to further places for sale.

​​

Although these practices will temporarily reduce the income of the Zhou family, in the long run, it is completely worthwhile.

​​

The shrinking of the market is not terrible, but I am afraid that the market will collapse. Once the market collapses, it will cost a lot to build a stable market.

​​

"I know the basic situation, and I have a solution in mind for this matter, but this plan does not conflict with your plan, Guangyun, so you can do things like hoarding goods, and you can also do things like expanding long-distance trade caravans. But the task of the trade caravan is not to sell goods, but to buy goods such as spiritual talismans, bigu pills, and healing pills in large quantities!"

​​

In the discussion hall, Zhou Yang listened to the financial elder Zhou Guangyun's report on the Zhou family's finances, and after a little thought, he nodded and said his arrangement.

​​

Hearing what he said, not only the laymen of the Zhou family in the temple were surprised, but even Zhou Guangyun, who was in charge of finance, frowned and couldn't help but look at him and asked, "Elder Taishang, can you tell me why? Our Zhou family has thousands of acres of spiritual fields, and has domesticated thousands of red turkeys and velvet rabbits, so there is absolutely no need to buy things like Bigu Dan!"

​​

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang, who has always been very open-minded, shook his head this time and said: "I can't say the reason for the time being, in short, just do as I say, and I will let Guangxiang take out 100,000 low-grade spirit stones from the inner library. Buy these things for you!"

​​

One hundred thousand spirit stones!

​​

Hearing Zhou Yang say such a huge number without blinking his eyes, everyone in the Zhou family in the hall, except for a few foundation-building cultivators and Zhou Guangyun, the financial elder, were all stunned.

​​

The Zhou family is rich, and these people all know that, after all, the Zhou family has spent a lot of money in these years. These people also listened to the annual income reported by Zhou Guangyun.

​​

But now that Zhou Yang so easily said that he wanted to take out 100,000 spirit stones and buy some inconspicuous bigu pills and low-level spirit talismans, these people were still surprised.

​​

While many people were shocked, their mouths moved slightly, wanting to say something.

​​

But before these people made their voices heard, Zhou Guangyun, the party involved, had already responded: "My niece understands, please follow the orders of the elders!"

​​

Suddenly, those who wanted to speak immediately bit their lips to hold back their words.

​​

In the Zhou family, Zhou Yang's orders are the rules and regulations. Zhou Guangyun, the financial elder, has already said to obey the orders. If these people dare to sing the opposite, do they want to rebel?

​​

"Then, who has any other suggestions? Everyone can speak freely, as long as it is a suggestion that you think can be beneficial to the family, as long as it is a flaw in the family system or other deficiencies that you find, you can take this opportunity to say it, We also took this opportunity to make corrections!"

​​

Zhou Yang looked at the clansmen who were hesitating to speak, and smiled slightly, asking everyone's opinion.

​​

It is the policy set by Zhou Yang when he first held a family meeting to open up his opinions and accept opinions widely.

​​

He knew very well that with his own eyes, he would definitely not be able to see all the things that happened in the family. Those family managers he appointed might also deceive him for various reasons.

​​

At the family meeting, those who deceived him, those things that were deliberately concealed from him, those injustices that happened in the family, can all be exposed by an ordinary clan.

​​

He just used this method to give those monks at the bottom of the family a chance to "listen to the heavens", the most effective channel for complaints.

​​

However, in the previous Zhou family, the number of clan members was relatively small, and the family was in a period of rapid growth. The related dirty things rarely happened. No one would openly tear up their face with a certain clan at a family meeting.

​​

But this time, after Zhou Yang said what he could say freely, the Zhou family immediately stood up.

​​

I saw a young Zhou family disciple in yellow in the back row standing up from the ground, looking at Zhou Yang respectfully and expectantly, and said loudly: "Elder Taishang Mingjian, junior Zhou Tongming wants to ask Elder Taishang to preside over something. justice!"

​​

Seeing this, Zhou Yang's face flashed, and he couldn't help looking at the young clansman who only had the fourth-level Qi practice and asked, "It is the law enforcement elder's job to uphold justice for the clan, why don't you find the law enforcement elder instead of me? ?"

​​

Being watched by a cultivator like him, even if his eyes did not contain any oppressive power, the young cultivator Zhou Tongming's expression became tense, and he quickly replied: "In response to the words of the elder Taishang, the younger generation has asked the elder law enforcement, However, the younger generation does not agree with the handling of the law enforcement elders, so it is only today that I dare to ask the elders to preside over justice!"

​​

Zhou Yang heard the words, but continued to ask: "Even so, according to the family rules, you can appeal to the patriarch. Could it be that the treatment of the patriarch will not satisfy you?"

​​

"Yes, the younger generation still does not agree with the treatment of the patriarch!"

​​

Zhou Tongming raised his head and took a deep breath, ignoring the strange eyes of other clansmen, and answered Zhou Yang's question loudly.

​​

Zhou Yang's curiosity was also piqued, and he said with a slight smile: "Then tell me, what do you want me to do justice for you!"

​​

"The younger generation is from the [Fengyuelou] cultivator. Although he is also in the blood of the Zhou family, the blood relationship with other cultivators is unknown by how many generations!"

​​

"Although Guangyin is a monk of the Guangzi generation, he is only one year older than the younger generation, and he was born in [Fengyuelou]. The two of us grew up together and studied together. It can be said that we are childhood sweethearts and love each other deeply. Privately, a lifetime contract has been made!"

​​

"But after the law enforcement elder and the patriarch learned about the junior and Guang Yin, they forcibly separated the junior and Guang Yin on the grounds that it violated human relations, and sent Guang Yin to the distant Haoyang Cave Spirit Vessel to take care of the mountain. Lingtian, let the two of me not see each other for several years without saying anything, and even strictly forbid other clansmen from handing over letters for the two of us!"

​​

"The younger generation knows that the family has never supported intermarriage between monks within the family, but there seems to be no relevant rules strictly prohibiting it in the family's clan rules."

​​

"What's more, it's human nature to love men and women, so immortal cultivators like me pay attention to obeying the sky and responding to others, so why do we have to be bound by those customary rituals and can't act according to our own wishes?"

​​

"That's why the younger generation dares to speak up here, and I want to ask the elders to speak out and establish a rule for this matter, and to allow the intermarriage of clansmen with blood ties of more than five generations, so as to complete the relationship between the younger generation and Guangyin!"

​​

In the discussion hall, Zhou Tongming completely ignored the strange eyes of other clansmen in the hall, looked directly at Zhou Yang with excitement, and said aloud what he asked in a loud voice.

​​

After he finished speaking, he immediately fell to his knees with a bang, bang bang bang, and kowtowed heavily to Zhou Yang, shouting, "I beg the elders to be kind, and make the junior and Guangyin perfect!"

​​

The sound of kowtowing and shouting echoed one after another in the council hall.

​​

Zhou Tongming seemed to have made up his mind. If Zhou Yang did not agree, he would not stop.

​​

Zhou Yang frowned when he saw this scene, and he didn't like Zhou Tongming's behavior.

​​

Although he also knew that the other party did this, the fundamental purpose was to catch him as the last straw.

​​

The change in his face naturally did not escape the observation of Zhou Guangxiang and other cultivators in the first two rows closest to him~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Seeing his frown, the law enforcement elder Zhou Guangkun, who had originally looked a little ugly after Zhou Tongming came out, Immediately got up and looked at that Zhou Tongming and shouted: "Enough! Zhou Tongming, what are you trying to do? Do you want to threaten the elder Taishang with death to make an exception for you? Do you still have family rules in your eyes? Do you think Are you going to rebel?"

​​

As soon as Zhou Guangkun's shouts fell, the patriarch Zhou Guangxiang followed closely and said: "Aunt and nephew are in love, which is against human relations. My Zhou family has always followed the order of elders and children. You and Guangyin have grown up in the school together since childhood. , how can you not know this? Knowing this and knowingly committed it, why do you have the face to ask the elders to make an exception for you?"

​​

As soon as their two heavyweights spoke, Zhou Guangtai, the elder of the Zhou family, also immediately agreed: "What the patriarch said is very true, if our Zhou family cultivators don't even abide by the most basic human ethics, wouldn't it mean to call others People in the family laugh out loud? Zhou Tongming, get up for me quickly, don't use the sympathy of the elders to make trouble!"

​​

However, in the face of the reprimands of these heavyweights of the Zhou family, Zhou Tongming, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have never heard of it, and just kept kowtowing and shouting, "I beg the elders to be gracious and fulfill the junior and Guangyin!"

​​

Because he kowtowed too hard and did not use his mana to protect him, his forehead was now a blur of blood, and his rather handsome face was dyed red with his own blood.

​​

Many people around him who were close to his age saw this scene, and their faces showed unbearable expressions, but because of their status, no one dared to stand up and plead for him.
